ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the changes of expression of platelet PECAM-1,P-selectin in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods The platelet expression levels of PECAM-1,P-selectin in 35 patients with acute cerebral infarction were serially measured with whole blood flow cytometry 24,48 hours and 5,7,14 days after the onset,and were compared with those of 30 normal controls.Results The platelet expression levels of PECAM-1 and P-selectin in patients with cerebral infarction 24 hours after the onset(78.35?10.48,7.75?3.04 respectively)were higher than those of controls(48.89?10.84,2.18?0.83 respectively,all P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the changes of CD31 and CD62p expressions in platelets of patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI) and its significance.Methods The expression levels of CD31 and CD62p of 53 patients with ACI were measured with whole blood flow cytometry within 48h after onset,and were compared with those of 38 patients with vascular risk factors(hypertension,diabetes,current smoking and hyperlipidemia) of cerebral infarction and 30 normal controls.Results The expression levels of CD31 and CD62p in patients with ACI [((90.91?)15.39)%,((7.00?)2.96)% respectively] were higher than those of patients with risk factors and normal controls(all(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of computed tomography perfusion imaging(CTPI)in hyperacute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Methods Conventional computed tomography (CT) and CTPI were performed within 6 hours of symptom onset in 46 patients with cerebrovascular disease. Results In 46 cases,5 cases diagnosed as cerebral infarction obtained regular CT positive results.In 41 having regular CT negative results,29 had cerebral infarction,and the other 12 had transient ischemic attack(TIA).In 16 cases with CTPI negtive,12 were diagnosed as having TIA and the others having small infarction volume.30 cases were confirmed by CTPI as having ischemic lesions.In 30 cases,5 had ischemic lesions larger in CTPI than in regular CT and 25 had regular CT negtive results.The regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF),time to peak(TP),mean transit time(MTT)in 30 cases with CTPI positive were found obviously changed.The side of ischemic lesion as compared with the opposite side,and the core of ischemic lesion as compared with peripheral zone were found changed significantly( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of combined application of computed tomography perfusion imaging(CTPI)and CT angiography(CTA) in the diagnosis of hyperacute ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Methods 46 patients with hyperacute ischemic cerebrovascular disease(onset within 6 hours) were examined by conventional CT , CTPI and CTA.Results Conventional CT scan showed low density signal in 5 of 46 patients. CTPI revealed normal perfusion in 16 patients and hypoperfusion in 30 patients. 27 patients existed stenosis or occlusion of middle cerebral arteries(MCA) and anterior cerebral arteries(ACA) by CTA. CTA also showed obvious slight MCA in 2 cases and normal image in 17 cases. 25 cases with large or moderate cerebral infarction volume were confirmed by CTPI as having ischemic hypoperfusion lesions and stenosis or occlusion of arteries by CTA. In 9 cases with small cerebral infarction volume, CTPI revealed perfusion defect in 5 patients and CTA displayed stenosed arteries in 2 patients. CTPI of 12 patients with TIA were normal. But CTA showed remarkable slight MCA and more blood vessel network in its distal segment in 2 of 12 patients.Conclusion combined application of CTPI and CTA can detect hyperacute ischemic lesion at far more early stage. They are helpful in differentiation TIA from infarcts with different volumes.
