RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the risk factors of early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with minor ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO) and the impact of rescue endovascular thromboectomy (REVT) on clinical outcomes of patients with END at discharge.Methods:Consecutive patients with acute minor ischemic stroke caused by LVO within 24 h of onset in the Third Affiliated Hospital, Soochow University from January 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. Minor ischemic stroke was defined as baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤5 at admission. END was defined as an increase of ≥4 in the NIHSS score within 24 h after the best medical management. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with END at discharge. 0-2 was defined as a good outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for END and the impact of REVT on clinical outcomes in patients with END. Results:A total of 75 patients with minor ischemic stroke caused by LVO were included, of which 31 (41.3%) developed END and 13 (41.9%) underwent REVT after END. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that internal carotid artery occlusion was an independent risk factor for END (odds ratio 4.304, 95% confidence interval 1.213-15.270; P=0.024), and REVT was an independent protective factor for good outcomes in patients with END (odds ratio 0.068, 95% confidence interval 0.006-0.774; P=0.030). Conclusions:The incidence of END is higher in patients with minor ischemic stroke caused by LVO, and internal carotid artery occlusion is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of END. Providing REVT after END may improve the clinical outcomes of patients with END at discharge.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate thetherapeutic effect of sodium deoxyribonucleotide injection at Zusanli point for chemotherapy-induced leukopenia in patients with lung cancer.MethodsA total of 116 chemotherapy-induced leukopenia patients with lung cancer were randomly divided into a therapy group and a control group, 60 in the treatment group and 56 in the control group. The patients in the treatment group were treated with sodium deoxyribonucleotide injection atZusnlipoint, and those in the control group were treated with vein injection of sodium deoxyribonucleotide.Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was significant higher than that in the control group (91.7%vs.76.8%;χ2=4.890,P=0.032). The effective rates on days 3,5,7 and 10 in the treatment group were also significant higher than those in the control group (on day 3: 51.7%vs. 32.1%,χ2=4.530,P=0.036; on day 5: 76.7%vs. 53.6%,χ2=6.840,P=0.018; on day 7: 85.0%vs. 67.9%,χ2=4.770,P=0.026; on day 10: 78.3%vs. 53.6%,χ2=7.960,P=0.011).Conclusion Sodium deoxyribonucleotide injection atZusanlipoint has definite efficacy for chemotherapy-induced leukopenia in patients with lung cancer.
