RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical and radiologic features of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) associated with preeclampsia-eclampsia.Methods Twenty-one cases of PRES associated with preeclampsia-eclampsia were retrospectively studied on some aspects of clinical and radiologic features.Results The most common clinical presentations were seizures( 18 cases ),headache (16 cases),altered mentation (15 cases) and vision change (12 cases). Vasogenic edema lesions distributed in the parietal or occipital lobe (20 cases),the frontal lobes (14 cases),temporal lobes ( 11 cases), and basal ganglia (11 cases). The splenium involvement occurred in 4 cases,cerebellar hemispheres and brain stem involvement was prcscnted in 3 cases and 1 case separately. Three major patterns of PRES included dominant parietal-occipital (7 cases),the holohemispheric watershed (7 cases),and superior frontal sulcal (6 cases).Partial and asymmetric expression of PRES only occurred in 1 case.Conclusions The clinical features of PRES associated with preeclampsia-eclampsia are typical.Except the parietal or occipital lobe,involvement of the frontal lobe,temporal lobe and basal ganglia is common,followed by the occasional presence of the splenium,cerebellar hemispheres and brain stem.Three primary PRES patterns are noted,occasional with partial and asymmetric expression of PRES. Awareness of these typical and variable characteristics is important to recognize the PRES ncurotoxicity morc accurately when PRES present.
RESUMO
@#Objective To evaluate the effect of early rehabilitation and acupuncture on acute stroke. Methods125 cases stroke patients were divided into 4 groups: the early rehabilitation and acupuncture group, 34 cases(Group A); the early rehabilitation group, 39 cases(Group B); the early acupuncture group, 21 cases(Group C); and the control group, 31 cases. Bobath therapy and acupuncture were used. The CNS Damage Scale, Fugl Meyer Assessment(FMA), Modified Barthel Index(MBI), Clinical Therapeutic Effectiveness and Rehabilitation Efficiency were observed in all patients at the beginning, middle and end of the course. Results Rehabilitation Efficiency was the highest in Group A among all groups, and higher in Group B than in Group C and the control group, and higher in Group C than in the control group. The Clinical Therapeutic Effectiveness was better in Group A,B and C than in the control group, and better in Group C than in the control group. Conclusion It is a main and effective therapy to improve the patient\'s condition that early rehabilitation is combined with early acupuncture on acute stroke patients.
RESUMO
Objective\ To explore the risk factors of dementia induced by stroke.Methods\ 258 elder patients with stroke had been followed up for three months,including clinical neuropathy and neuropsychological tests.Multivariate noncondition stepwise Logistic model analysis was made after single variable analysis.Results\ There were 83 patients with dementia induced by stroke,175 patients without dementia after stroke.The morbidity was 32.2%.The following eight factors were associated with dementia i.e.,age,multiple lesions,left lesion,large area of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction,cerebral atrophy,hypertension,the history of stroke,and bilateral lesions.Conclusions\ Dementia induced by stroke is caused by multiple factors.It is closely correlated to numbers of cerebral lesions,the location of cerebral lesions and the size of brain tissue necrosis.The primary conditions of patients'cerebral function are also closely associated with the occurence of dementia.
RESUMO
0.05).The expression began to increase around the infarction at 12h reperfusion,it reached the peak at the 3th day in the boundary zone and then it gradually decreased.Conclusion The overexpression of IL 6 played an important role in the course of cerebral ischemic reperfusion, and could damage the brain tissue.
