Objective@#To explore the clinical benefits and risks of intravenous thrombolysis combined with urinary kallidinogenase in the treatment of minor stroke.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 86 patients with minor stroke were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who received intravenous thrombolysis combined with urinary kallidinogenase were included in observation group (n=48), and those who received intravenous thrombolysis alone were included in control group (n=38). Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment, the imaging blood flow perfusion parameters [cerebral blood flow (CBF), mean transit time (MTT), time to peak (TTP)], and breath holding test indexes [cerebral vascular reactivity (CVR), breath holding index (BHI)] and serum biochemical indicators [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)] were compared between the two groups. The occurrence of adverse drug reactions during course of treatment and rehabilitation effects at 3 months after treatment [US National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin Scale (mRS)] were analyzed in the two groups.@*Results@#After 2 weeks of treatment, the CBF, CVR, BHI and serum levels of VEGF and bFGF in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment, and the indexes in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The MTT and TTP levels in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment, and the levels in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of adverse drug reactions between the two groups during course of treatment (P>0.05). At 3 months after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the effective rate of rehabilitation between the two groups (P>0.05), but the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test between-groups showed that the overall rehabilitation effects in observation group were significantly better than those in control group (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Intravenous thrombolysis has certain treatment effects in patients with minor stroke, and its safety is within the clinical controllable range.

Objective To investigate whether metabolic pathway-related gene polymorphisms are associated with arterial plaque stability and their gene-gene interactions increase the risk of cerebral infarctions.Methods Totally 294 patients with atherothrombosis stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from September 2010 to December 2012 were divided into a carotid vulnerable plaque group ( n=69 ) and a stable plaque group ( n=225 ) according to the results of carotid B-mode ultrasonography.A total of 282 healthy volunteers excluded carotid plaque and stroke were enrolled as well.Genetic polymorphisms of ALOX5AP and CYP3A5, CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3 and EPHX2 were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction and mass spectrometry analysis.The SPSS16.0 software was used to compare genotype frequencies and the generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction ( GMDR ) method was applied for gene-gene interaction analyses.Results The results showed that EPHX2 GG genotype might protect against stroke ( OR =0.520, 95% CI 0.288 -0.940, P=0.030).The distribution of CYP3A5 genotypes showed statistically significant differences (χ2 =7.284, P=0.026) between the vulnerable plaque ( AA: 5 cases, AG: 36 cases, GG: 28 cases) and stable plaque ( AA: 26 cases, AG: 77 cases, GG: 122 cases ) groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the GG genotype of CYP3A5 was protective factor for unstable plaques ( OR=0.405, 95%CI 0.178 -0.920, P =0.031 ).Differences in other SNPs did not reach statistical significance between the two groups.The GMDR analysis showed a significant gene-gene interaction between SG13S114 and A6986G, with scores of 10 for cross-validation consistency and 9 for the sign test (P=0.011).The best model for ischemic stroke was found to be SG13S114 AA and A6986G AA.Adjusting for age, hypertension and diabetes, the certain gene-gene interaction predicted a significantly higher risk of cerebral infarction (OR=1.804, 95%CI 1.180-2.759, P=0.006).Conclusions The EPHX2 G860A gene might be linked with the incidence of cerebral infarctions.Only a CYP3A5 gene polymorphism might be associated with carotid plaque instability in patients with stroke.The gene-gene interaction predicts a significantly higher risk of cerebral infarction.There is a 1.804-fold increased risk for ischemic stroke in individuals with these combined genetic factors.

Objective To investigate the interrelations of ALOX5AP SG13S114A/T , COX-2 765G/C , COX-1-50C/T polymorphisms and cerebral infarction. Methods The ALOX5AP SG13S114A/T, COX-2 765G/C and COX-1 50C/T polymorphisms in 411 cases with cerebral infarction and 411 controls were measured by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism method. The generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) method was employed to detect gene-gene interactions. Results Single-gene analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the genotype and allele frequency distributions of ALOX5AP SG13S114A/T, COX-2 765G/C and COX-1 50C/T between two groups. However, in those cases carrying ALOX5AP SG13S114AA as well as COX-2 765CC , the risk of cerebral infarction increased significantly by 2.842 times. Conclusions The combinational analysis among genes used in this study may be helpful in the elucidation of genetic risk factors for common and complex diseases.
