ABSTRACT
@# Objective To compare the differences of clinical and neuroimaging features between ischemic stroke patients with and without cancer. Methods From January 2013 and July 2017, 41 patients with active cancer diagnosed as acute ischemic stroke were retrospectively analyzed as research group. Besides, 41 age-and sex-matched patients diagnosed as acute ischemic stroke without cancer were selected as control group. The clinical date of both groups were collected and analyzed statistically. Results The percentages of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and past stroke were lower (χ2 > 5.549, P < 0.05), and the percentage of patients with cryptogenic stroke was higher in the research group than in the control group (χ2 > 17.537, P < 0.05). The hemoglobin level was lower (t = 4.609, P < 0.001), the D-dimer level was higher (t = -5.796, P < 0.001) in the research group than in the control group. Multiple vascular lesions of 53.7% patients in the research group were higher than 4.9% in the control group. The percentage of DWI lesions involving three vessel territories was higher in the research group than in the control group (χ2 > 17.995, P < 0.01). The percentage of multiple small lesions, and lesions located in cortical/subcortical lesions or cerebellum was higher in the research group than in the control group (χ2 > 8.159, P < 0.01). The 30 days mRS score after ischemic stroke (t = -3.222, P < 0.01) and the mortality rate within 30 days (P < 0.05) were higher in the research group than in the control group. Conclusion Compared with ischemic stroke patients without cancer, there were more cryptogenic stroke, higher D-dimer levels and poor prognosis in patients with active cancer. In ischemic stroke, patients with active cancer has a unique focal distributions characterized by more multiple vascular lesions involving three vessel territories and more lesions located in cortical/subcortical and cerebellum. The patients with ischemic stroke who conform to above characteristic should be paied attention to tumor screening.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression of Stat5,E-cadherin and Vimentin in thyroid carcinoma and the correlation among them. Method The expression of Stat5,E-cadherin and Vimentin in 149 cases of thyroid specimens(including 23 cases of nodular goiter and 126 cases of thyroid carcinoma)was detected by immunohisto-chemistry SP method and the correlation analysis was conducted with the main clinical pathological parameters. Results The positive rate of Stat5 and Vimentin in thyroid carcinoma was 85.71% and 77.78% respectively, which was significantly higher than that in nodular goiter(26.09%and 8.70%)(P 0.05),but obviously with lymph node metastasis and pathological type(P<0.05). Stat5 was negatively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin (r=-0.335,P=0.000)but positively with the expression of Vimentin(r=0.218,P<0.05). Conclusion The high expression of Stat5 and EMT in thyroid carcinoma tissues indicate that Stat5 may be involved in the EMT process of thyroid carcinoma ,thus it can promote the invasion and metastasis of thyroid carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the current status of nursing undergraduate students′ self-differentiation and career adaptability and analyze the correlation of the two, so as to provide a reference for nursing educators to offer employment guidance. Methods The Undergraduate Self-Differentiation Scale and The College Students′Career Adaptability Questionnaire were used to investigate 341 nursing undergraduates. Results The mean scores of the self-differentiation and the career adaptability were (3.70±0.60) points and (3.60±0.42) points, respectively. It showed that the total score of self-differentiation and its each dimension were positively correlated with career adaptability, the Pearson correlation coefficients were career adjustment 0.26, career interpersonal 0.38, career curiosity 0.32, career confidence 0.39, career concerns 0.27, career control 0.46, and the coefficients between two total scales were 0.46 (all P<0.05). Conclusions The self-differentiation level of nursing undergraduates could affect their career adaptation level, and clinical nursing educators can take corresponding measures to improve their career adaptability based on the characteristics of nursing students′self-differentiation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the risk factors that worsened the pathologic course of acute ischemic stroke .Methods The clinical data of 264 patients with acute ischemic stroke treated in Shijitan hospital were analyzed retrospectively .According to the outcome ,the patients were divided into deterioration group (70 cases) and improved group(194 cases) .The clinical data ,labora-tory examination results of the patients were collected through self-made survey and compared between the two groups .The risk factors that worsened the pathologic course of acute ischemic stroke were analyzed by multiple linear regression .Results There were 42 .86% patients with hyperlipidemia history and 70 .00% with diabetes history in the deterioration group ,which were signifi-cantly higher than the improved group(P<0 .05) .The levels of glucose ,glycosylated hemoglobin ,fibrinogen ,serum ferritin ,C reac-tive protein ,low density lipoprotein cholesterol in the deterioration group were significantly higher than those in the improved group (P<0 .05) .Multiple linear regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia history ,high level of C reactive protein ,and high level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol were the independent risk factors that worsened the pathologic course of acute ischemic stroke . Conclusion Hyperlipidemia history ,high level of C reactive protein ,and high level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol were the independent risk factors that worsened the pathologic course of acute ischemic stroke .According to these factors ,patients were e-valuated and targeted measures were made to improve the prognosis of the patients .
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To study the positive rates of oligoclonal bands(OCB)and the IgG index in patients with multiple sclerosis(MS)and in other nervous system disorders(OND).Methods Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)and serum were collected from 54 patients with MS,271 patients with OND including 62 patients with infections of central nervous system and 209 patients with non-infections.The OCB and IgG index of CSF and serum were detected.Results The positive rate of OCB was 35.2% in MS,8.9% in OND(P<0.05),in which 24.2% in infections of central nervous system(P>0.05),4.5% in non-infections of central nervous system.The positive rate of IgG index was 83.3% in MS,78.2% in OND(P>0.05).Conclusion OCB is helpful to diagnose MS if infection diseases have be excluded,while IgG index can be referenced.

METHODS: Take some clinical cases to analyse and summarize the result about multiple micro-ecological preparations such as probiotic yoghurt,lively bacterium preparation and prebiotics being used to prevent and treat AAD. RESULTS: It was showed by cases that probiotic yoghurt and lively bacterium preparations could effectively prevent AAD in patients with AAD risk factors,and the application of micro-ecological preparations exhibited a remarkable efficacy for the patients with AAD. CONCLUSION: Rational application of micro-ecological preparations is conducive to the prevention and treatment of AAD.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical features and pathogenesis mechanism of Isaacs syndrome.MethodsA case with Isaacs syndrome was reporttedResults and ConclusionIsaacs syndrome is characterized by the occurrence of spontaneous and continuous muscle fiber activity, associated with muscle cramps, pseudomyotonia and myokymia, stiffness and delayed relaxation of the muscle. The stiffness and myokymia are present at rest and during sleep. Isaacs syndrome has been recently suggested to be produced through an immune-mediated mechanism in which voltage-gated potassium channels may be targeted by auto-antibodies.
