ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of continuous monitoring of intracranial pressure in old patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage?Methods The clinical data of 217 cases of old patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, including 105 patients underwent continuous monitoring of intracranial pressure(monitoring group) and 112 patients without monitoring of intracranial pressure(control group),were retrospectively analyzed?The times and the total dosage of mannitol, the complications and prognosis of two groups were compared?Results The times and the total dosage of mannitol of monitoring group was respectively (42?1±5?4) times and ( 820?1±114?8) g,significantly less than that of control group((59?5±8?2) times, (1187?7±241?5) g;P=0?032,0?011)?The rate of pulmonary infection and stress ulcer showed no significant difference between two groups ( P = 0?608, 0?471 )?The rate of acute renal insufficiency and electrolyte disturbances was significantly lower in the monitoring group than that in the control group ( 11?4%( 12/104 ) vs?29?6%( 33/112 ) , 28?6%( 30/105 ) vs?41?9%( 47/112 );P = 0?004, 0?036 )?The prognosis of the monitoring group was better than that of the control group(72% vs?48%;χ2=13?02,P<0?01)?Conclusion Intracranial pressure monitoring has an important value for the treatment of old patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.
ABSTRACT
The review deals with the phenomenon of autotoxicity in medical plants. The autotoxic potential could be attributed to direct inhibition of plant growth and some diseases could be promoted by autotoxin. Factors affecting autotoxicity include species and cultivars, soil microbes, plant's nutrient situation and soil type etc. Autotoxicity could be overcome or alleviated by plant residues removal, adding beneficial microbes, using organic fertilizer, proper rotation, and grading management to different plant' autotoxic force.
