ABSTRACT
Sneddon syndrome(SS) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by ischemic cerebrovascular disease and livedo reticularis, which involves the heart, kidney, fundus and other organs. We reported a case of a 45-year old male patient with recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular accidents as the first manifestation, accompanied by significant declines in cognitive function and livedo reticularis in trunk and limbs. The final diagnosis was SS. This article summarized the possible etiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment for SS. Clinicians should improve the understanding of the disease to make the correct diagnosis and treatment and to prevent the occurrence of severe neurologic impairment and vascular dementia.

Intracranial branch atheromatous disease (BAD) was proposed by Caplan in 1989.It has been widely studied in Japan in recent years.With the application of high-resolution magnetic resonance,BAD has become a hot topic.This article reviews the concept,etiology,pathology,diagnosis and treatment of BAD as well as its relationship with ischemic stroke.
ABSTRACT
An analytical method for seperating nonhydrocarbons in sediments and crudes into an acidic fraction, a neutral fraction (Ⅰ), and a more polar neutral neutral fraction (Ⅱ) is reported. With this method, components only appear in individual fractions. Fatty acids and polyols and polyones are seperated into the acidic fraction; mono-ketones, esters and straight-chain alkanols fall into the neutral fraction Ⅰ; Streols are found in the neutral fraction Ⅱ. No evident alteration of ratios of the components through the separation procedures is observed. Erucic acid, 5α(H)-androstan-17-one, and 5α(H)-androstan-3β-ol are selected first time as internal standards for sterols in acidic fraction, neutral fraction Ⅰ and Ⅱ, respectively. They are good standards for quantitation of the components with gas chromatography, especially 5α(H)-androstan-3β-ol with in the first time an interal standard for quantitation of sterols. The analytical method has been proved to be effective by seperation of more than hundred sedimental samples
