ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of air pollutants PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, and NO2, and their effects on acute cerebrovascular diseases in Jining City. Methods The data of patients with acute cerebrovascular disease treated in a 3A hospital in Jining from October 1, 2017, to November 31, 2019, were retrospectively collected. Combined with the air pollution data of 29 air quality monitoring stations in Jining City, the Kriging interpolation model was used to analyze the overall situation of air pollution in Jining. On this basis, the relationship between air pollution and acute cerebrovascular diseases in Jining City was analyzed. Results In Jining City, the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease in male was higher than that in female, and the incidence in rural areas was significantly higher than that in urban areas. The spatial distribution showed a trend of gradual accumulation from southeast to northwest. The daily average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were higher in winter and spring than in summer and autumn. The results of Kriging interpolation analysis showed that the concentrations of these air pollutants formed aggregation points in varying degrees. The spatial distribution of acute cerebrovascular disease patients in Jining City was highly consistent with the spatial distribution of air pollutant concentrations. Spearman correlation analysis showed that CO, SO2, and NO2 were positively correlated with the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease, while the correlation between PM2.5 and PM10 and the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease was not significant. Conclusion Some air pollutants such as CO, SO2, and NO2 have a positive correlation with the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease, and the prevalence has a certain population and regional distribution. In the future work of cerebrovascular disease prevention, personal protection should be done according to local conditions and living environment of specific people.
ABSTRACT
The high incidence of cerebrovascular disease and the high rate of disability cause a huge burden on the patient, family and society. The incidence of sleep disorder in acute cerebrovascular disease is high, which has an important effect on the prognosis of patients with cerebrovascular disease. This paper reviews the treatment of sleep disorder in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease, mainly acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: Phaeochromocytoma may present with uncontrolled hypertension leading to haemorrhagic stroke (HS), ischaemic stroke (IS) and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). False elevation in the levels of CATS/ METS has been reported in acute cerebrovascular disease. Our aim was to analyse the frequency and pattern of elevations of CATS/METS in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease and to determine associated factors. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 112 samples of CATS/ METS received by the laboratory over a two-year period, from patients with acute cerebrovascular disease. CATS/METS were measured using LC/MS/MS method. Clinical details and CATS/METS level were obtained from the database. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test were used for statistical analysis. These statistical analyses were performed using SPSS v.20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Of the 112 patients, 39% had HS, 54% had IS and 7% had TIA. A total of 29% of patients had elevated CATS/ METS. Elevated levels of CATS/METS were noted in 41% and 25% of HS and IS patients, respectively (p=0.53). Median norepinephrine, epinephrine and metanephrine levels in HS were significantly higher than IS (p< 0.05). Systolic blood pressure was higher in those who had elevated CATS/ METS (p=0.04). Only for two patients with elevated CATS/METS repeat testing was performed. Age, diastolic blood pressure and the time of sample collection in relation to the presentation, for CATS/METS were not significantly different between groups that had elevated levels of CATS/ METS versus those who did not. Conclusion: We noted that CATS/METS were elevated in one-third of patients, especially in patients with high systolic blood pressure. Increase in CATS/METS should be appropriately followed up with repeat testing. Since false elevation in CATS/METS has been reported in cerebrovascular disease, screening for phaeochromocytoma is best deferred for a month.
ABSTRACT
Cerebrovascular disease, also known as a cerebral vascular accident, is named “stroke” in traditional Chinese medicine, there is close correlation between acute cerebrovascular disease and gastrointestinal system. In this paper, we discussed 3 parts about the relationship between the gastrointestinal system and brain. First, in the traditional Chinese medicine theory, there is close relationship between gastrointestinal system and brain from the physiological function and Meridian theory. Secondly, clinical practice indicated that heat phlegm fu-organ syndrome is the main syndrome of acute cerebrovascular disease. The main symptom of this syndrome is the constipation, which is an important part of the disease transition. Furthermore, in acute cerebrovascular disease, the brain-gut peptide esp. CCK and surface colonic electrical physiological changes are the material and electrophysiological basic on the relationship between gastrointestinal system and brain.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of the application of quality control theory in nursing of patients with acute cerebrovascular disease undergoing interventional therapy.Methods 64 cases of patients with acute cerebrovascular disease from November 2009 to October 2011 in our hospital undergoing interventional therapy were chosen as the research object.They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 32 cases in each group.The control group was given routine care,while the observation group was given nursing intervention under the instruction of quality control theory.The hospital stay,complication rates,satisfaction and SAS score,SDS score between the two groups of patients were compared.Results The length of stay,complication rate,satisfaction degree,SAS scores and SDS scores after the intervention in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusions Application of the theory of quality control in nursing of patients with acute cerebrovascular disease has a better effect,demonstrating an evident advantage in reducing complications and improving patients' mental state.
ABSTRACT
Se realizó un estudio de casos y controles en pacientes ingresados con diagnóstico clínico de enfermedad cerebrovascular aguda en los municipios Escuque, Valera y Sábana Libre, del Estado de Trujillo, en la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, desde el 1ro de enero del 2003 al 31 de diciembre del 2004, con el objetivo de identificar los factores de riesgo para la ocurrencia de esta entidad nosológica. La muestra fue seleccionada de forma aleatoria y estuvo integrada por 140 casos y 140 controles. Se investigaron las siguientes variables: edad, sexo, antecedentes de enfermedad cerebrovascular, hábitos tóxicos, cardiopatías, hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus y obesidad. Se creó base de datos en SPSS 11.1. Se midió la fuerza de la asociación con el Odds Ratio y se realizó análisis de regresión logística. En el análisis univariado todos los factores constituyeron riesgo para la aparición de enfermedad cerebrovascular aguda, mientras que el análisis multivariado, mostró que el factor con independencia más importante fue la hipercolesterolemia al elevar a siete veces el riesgo de aparición de la enfermedad cerebrovascular aguda (OR: 7,19; IC: 3,075-16,837; p: 0,000), le continuó la hipertensión arterial (OR: 4,23; IC: 1,978-9,064; p: 0,000) seguido de la diabetes mellitus (OR: 3,19; IC: 1,139-8,98; p: 0,027) y finalmente el antecedente de cardiopatía (OR: 1,90; IC: 1,413-1,978; p: 0,031). Se concluye que con los valores obtenidos por el ajuste de la función de regresión logística para los factores de influencia independiente riesgo de aparición de esta enfermedad, se podrá estimar el riesgo de sufrirla
A case-control study was carried out in patients admitted with a clinical diagnosis of acute cerebrovascular disease in the municipalities of Escuque, Valera and Sábana Libre, State of Trujillo, Venezuela, from January 1st, 2003 to December 31st, 2004, with the objective of identifying risk factors for the occurrence of this condition. The sample was selected at random and included 140 cases and 140 controls. The variables studied were age, sex, past history of cerebrovascular disease, toxic habits, heart disease, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity. A data base was created in SPSS 11.1. Variable associations were measured using odds ratio and a logistic regression analysis was performed. An univariate analysis showed that the factors studied were risk factors for the occurrence of acute cerebrovascular disease, while a multivariate analysis demonstrated that the most important independent factor was hypercholesterolemia with a sevenfold risk of occurrence of the condition (OR: 7,19; CI: 3,075-16,837; p: 0,000), followed by arterial hypertension (OR: 4,23; CI: 1,978-9,064; p: 0,000), diabetes mellitus (OR: 3,19; CI: 1,139-8,98; p: 0,027), and finally past history of heart disease (OR: 1,90; CI: 1,413-1,978; p: 0,031). It was concluded that the values obtained by adjustment of the logistic regression function for independent risk factors allow to estimate the risk of suffering from this disease
ABSTRACT
To study the clinical effect of treating the sequela of wind stroke by the traditional Chinese medicine integrated with western medicine. 80 patients were randomly recruited into a treatment group (50 cases) and a control group (30 cases). In the control group, conventional western medicines were applied, while in the treatment group traditional Chinese medicine based on syndrome differentiation was applied on the basis of the control group. The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 73.58% and 54.6% respectively, demonstrating a statistically difference (X2= 6.66, P<0.01).
ABSTRACT
Objective To access evaluate the efficacy and safety of on-line hemodiafiltration for treating a-cute cerebrovascular disease (ACVD) patients complicated with hyperosmolar nonketotie diabetic coma (HNDC).Method Totally 11 patients of ACVD complicated with HNDC were observed for this prospective control study.All of them underwent on-line hemodiafiltrafion for 90 minutes using Fressnius 4008S Hemodialysis Machine withONLILNEplus TM and F60 one hour after final diagnosis was made. The bicarbonate ultrafiltrate rate was set at 500ml/min and blood flow at 150 ～ 180 ml/min; and the substitute fluid were infused with post-dilution at 50 ～ 60ml/min. The symptom of brain edema and cardiac insufficiency during the same course of treatment was observed.Blood were taken from the patients to detect serum kalium, serum glucose, serum natrium, BUN and plasma os-motic pressure at one hour before treatment and six hours after treatment, respectively. The change of in conscious-ness and adverse effects were evaluated at 24 hours after treatment. Results All patients were treated successful-ly. The blood glucose, serum natrium, serum kalium, BUN and plasma osmotic pressure were decreased after on-line hemodiafiltration. Among the 11 patients, consciousness was improved obviously in 8 patients, 3 patientsdied, accounting for 73% of successful effectiveness. Conclusions The on-line hemodiafiltration was effectiveand safe for treating ACVD patients complicated with HNDC.
ABSTRACT
Continuous electroencephalographic monitoring (CEEG) has been used for clinical monitoring of acute cerebrovascular diseases for nearly 3 decades,but it has not been used as a conventional monitoring approach in clinical practice.In recent 15 years,CEEG technology has made considerable progress,especially in the field of real-time monitoring of acute cerebral ischemia and epilepsy,which has provided a new possible direction for the diagnosis and treatment of acute cerebrovascular diseases.The article briefly comments the application of CEEG in acute cerebrovascular diseases.
