ABSTRACT

To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) and positive anti-Ro52 antibody. The clinical data of 203 ASS patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2017 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Demographics, clinical manifestations, laboratory results, treatment and outcome were collected including data of 18 patients with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). In total, the majority were women (148,72.9%). The average onset age was (51.9±13.3) years. There were 163 (80.3%) patients with positive anti-Ro52 antibody. The positivity in women (77.3% vs. 55.0%, P=0.004) was higher, and the median time from disease onset to diagnosis [4.5 (2.0, 24.0) months vs. 2.0 (1.0, 12.0) months, P=0.024] was longer in patients with positive anti-Ro52 antibody than those negative. Compared with negative patients, patients with positive anti-Ro52 antibody had a higher incidence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) (96.9% vs. 65.0%, P<0.001), arthritis (33.7% vs. 17.5%, P=0.046), and arthralgia (39.3% vs. 20.0%, P=0.022). Higher rate of positve antinuclear antibody (ANA) (85.3% vs. 55.0%, P<0.001), lower rate of positive anti-Jo-1 antibody (32.5% vs. 50.0%, P=0.039), lower albumin level [(34.6±5.2) g/L vs. (37.3±4.7) g/L, P=0.004] and lower lymphocyte counts [(1.4±0.8) ×10 9/L vs. (1.8±0.8) ×10 9/L, P=0.014] were more common in patients with positive anti-Ro52 antibody. The presence of anti-Ro52 antibody is associated with a particular phenotype of ASS, leading to common ILD, involvement of joints, high ANA positivity, low albumin and low lymphocyte counts.

ABSTRACT

To investigate the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of patients with different types of infectious sacroiliitis. Clinical data of 40 patients diagnosed with infectious sacroiliitis were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 40 patients, 16 patients were diagnosed as non-brucellar and non-tuberculous infectious sacroiliitis (ISI), 13 with tuberculous infectious sacroiliitis (TSI), and 11 with brucellar sacroiliitis (BSI). In the ISI and TSI group, female patients accounted for 11/16, 12/13, while the proportion of unilateral involvement was 15/16 and 12/13, respectively. Compared with ISI and TSI group, BSI patients were mainly male (8/11) and presented more bilateral involvement (6/11) ( P<0.05). Bone erosion was more common in ISI and TSI groups than in BSI group (6/15, 7/11 and 2/10), as well as abscess formation (3/15, 4/11 and 1/10, respectively). Symptoms in all patients relieved 1-2 weeks after administration of antibiotics or anti-tuberculosis treatment, but the resolution of the magnetic resonance imaging findings delayed about 6 (3-9) months. ISI and TSI patients with infectious sacroiliitis should be differentiated from spondyloarthritis, with a characteristic of more female patients, unilateral sacroiliitis, bone erosion, soft tissue involvement and abscess formation. However, BSI patients are mainly male, more bilateral involvement and less bone destruction and abscess formation. Antibiotic therapy demonstrates significant therapeutic effects, but resolution of the magnetic resonance imaging findings responses late.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the application of statins in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA) in different risk groups,and to identify the factors influencing the compliance of statins. Methods Data were prospectively collected on consecutively encountered ischemic stroke or TIA patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2009 to January 2010.All clinical characteristics and possible factors influencing the compliance of statins were collected; the application of statins was investigated at 3-month follow-up.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used for the analysis of influence factors of the compliance of statins.Results All 369 patients were collected,52.8% of cases were prescribed statins for therapy during hospitalization.The application rate of statins in accordance with guidelines in high-risk group,extremely high-risk Ⅱ group and extremely high-risk Ⅰ group was 25.0% (16/64),44.1% (30/68) and 71.4% (135/189),respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the statins application during hospitalization was associated with diabetes history ( P =0.032,OR =1.789,95% CI 1.052-3.043 ) and the presence of carotid vulnerable plaques(P =0.000,OR =5.308,95% CI 3.340-8.434).The general application rate of statins was 22.3% (81/363),which was significantly lower than that during hospitalization. The application rate of statins in accordance with guidelines in high-risk group,extremely high-risk Ⅱ group and extremely high-risk Ⅰ group was 9.7% ( 6/62 ),25.8% (17/66) and 29.4% (55/187) respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that good compliance of statins was associated with discharge instructions on statins application ( P =0.000,OR =34.852,95% CI 14.673-175.452 ). Conclusions The compliance of statins in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and TIA is poor,and there is still a large gap between clinical practice and guidelines; Discharge instructions on statins application increase the compliance of statins.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the predictive value of the modified National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ( mNIHSS),measured within 9 days after stroke,for the outcome in terms of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months after stroke.Methods AII 161 patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke were recruited consecutively from July 2010 until November 2010.The mNIHSS score was assessed within 3 days,4 to 6 days and 7 to 9 days after stroke,and the mRS score at 6 months after stroke was assessed by a neurology resident.Spearman rank correlation and ROC curve were used for statistic analysis.Results One hundred and sixty-one patients were assessed within 3 days,at 4 to 6 days and 7 to 9 days after stroke.Significant Spearman rank correlation coefficients were found between mRS at 6 months and mNIHSS scores within 3 days (rs =0.592,P<0.01 ),4 to 6 days (rs =0.597,P<0.01 ) and 7 to 9days (rs =0.595,P<0.01).At 6 months after stroke,the AUC ranged from 0.789 (95% CI 0.708-0.856) for measurements within 3 days to 0.792 (95% CI 0.712-0.857 ) and 0.799 ( 95% CI 0.721-0.864) for 4 to 6 days and 7 to 9 days,respectively. There was no significant difference for the AUCbetween them.The optimal cut-off values for the prediction of prognosis at 6 months were 8,7 and 6 points of mNIHSS score within 3 days,4 to 6 days and 7 to 9 days,respectively.The negative predictive value gradually increased from 0.847 for assessment within 3 days to 0.867 ( 95% CI 0.578-0.765 ) for 7 to 9 days,whereas positive predictive value declined from 0.601 for assessment within 3 days to 0.533 for 7 to 9 days.The overall accuracy of predtictions decreased from 0.753 for assessment within 3 days to 0.709 for 7 to 9 days.Conclusions When measured within 9 days,the mNIHSS has a good predictive value for final outcome in terms of mRS at 6 months after stroke.However,the optimal cut-off values for the prediction of prognosis at 6 months are different when early mNIHSS scores were assessed at different periods.

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the influence of active movement of the affected upper limb on the prognosis for patients after acute cerebral infarction.Methods From 2007 to 2008, 171 consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction were registered prospectively in this study. Active movement of the hemiplegic upper limb was assessed on the 14th day after stroke onset. Ability in the activities of daily living was assessed using the Barthel index one year later.Results Finger flexion and extension on the 14th day after stroke onset correlated positively with Barthel index scores 1 year later. NIHSS scores at admission, the time interval from onset to admission and stroke history were significant predictors of the prognosis 1 year later.Conclusion Assessing the active movement of the hemiplegic upper limb on the 14th day after stroke has good predictive power for the prognosis of acute cerebral infarction patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study a possible correlation between the duration of reproductive period ( from puberty to menopause) and the prognosis of ischemic stroke. Methods Female in-patients with acute ischemic stroke confirmed by CT/MRI in the Neurology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 09/03/2006 to 08/30/2008 were enrolled in this study. The probable risk factors of prognosis were analyzed and recovery was assessed by modified Rankin score (MRS) at 6 months followup. Multivariate Logistic regression was used for statistic analysis. Results 371 female patients were enrolled. The average age was (66. 2 ± 10. 0) years; average menopause age was (48. 5 ± 3.9 ) years and average duration of reproductive period was (33.3 ± 4. 3) years. There is a negative correlation between the duration and MRS (OR =0. 285, 95% CI: 0. 095-0. 850, P =0.024). There is no correlation between menopause age and prognosis of stroke. Conclusions Duration of reproductive period is a predictor for prognosis of ischemic stroke. Patients with longer reproductive period have better prognosis.
