ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the relationship between post-stroke pathological laughing and crying and depression.Methods Among 276 stroke patients in hospital,28 patients with pathological laughing and crying were chosen as PLC group,and other 28 patients matched with gender and age but without PLC were choosen as the control group.All patients were investigated with Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),PLC scale and clinical features.Results There was no significantly difference(P>0.05)in total and factor scores of HAMD between these two groups.Conclusion The pathological laughing and crying and depression seem to result from different pathogenesis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of “flying kite” technique and detachable balloon on embolization of carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF). Methods 9 cases of CCF were treated by using“flying kite”technique, and 6 cases of CCF were treated by using detachable balloon. Results In “flying kite” treatment group, 8 cases were completely cured, and 1 case was partly cured. In detachable ballon treatment group, all 6 cases were completely cured once. Conclusion The“flying kite”technique was simple method for embolization of CCF, which didn't need special instruments and materials, and was easy to use in the basic hospitals, but it could obstruct carotid artery and lead to CCF recurrence. The embolization of CCF by using detachable balloon had a higher curative rate and recurred rarely, but it needed special instruments and skills. Detachable balloon embolization of CCF is a reliable method for the treatment of CCF. [
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the cerebral blood flow filling condition and prognosis of patients with acute severe cerebral infarction.Methods The clinical data and MR features of 10 cases of acute severe cerebral infarction were retrospectively analyzed.Results The regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and regional cerebral blood volume(rCBV) of 9 cases(90%) in the infarcted side decreased significantly.The reduced percents of the infarcted side reached 64.1% and 49.7% respectively.There were significant differences between two opposite sides(P=0.001,P=0.01).The MRA results showed great vessels(arteria carotis interna or arteria cerebri media) in the infarcted side were all obliterated in the all patients,and simultaneous great vessels in opposite side were narrow or occlusion in 7 cases(70%).2 cases died;and 8 cases were serious disability.Conclusions The cerebral blood flow filling of the acute severe cerebral infarction patients decrease significantly.The prognosis of the patients is quite bad.
