Effect of comprehensive care on the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and matrix metaloproteinase-9 in patients with hemorrhagic infarction / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To study the effect of comprehensive care on the level of high-sensitivity Creactive protein and matrix metaloproteinase-9 in patients with hemorrhagic infarction.Methods 48 patients with hemorrhagic infarction were divided into the control group and the observation group with 24cases in each group.The control group was given conventional care,the observation group was given comprehensive care.Serum hsCRP and MMP-9 level of all patients were measured on day 1,day 3,day 7,day 14.Results The level of serum hsCRP and MMP-9 in the observation group on day 7 was significantly decreased compared with on day 1.The level of serum hsCRP and MMP-9 in the observation group on day 7 was lower than the control group.On day 14,the level of serum hsCRP and MMP-9 returned to normal in the observation group,which was lower than the control group.Conluusions The implementation of comprehensive care for HI patients can effectively reduce the hsCRP and MMP-9 level in serum,shorten hospitalization time,and is conducive to the prognosis of patients.

Diffusion-weighted Imaging of MRI in Acute Cerebral Stroke / 中国医师杂志

Objective To analyze the diffusion properties of acute cerebral stroke to understand the effects of infarct and hematoma on diffusion-weighted MR images of patients with acute cerebral stroke. Methods 25 acute cerebral infarcts, 22 intracranial hematomas and 5 hemorrhagic infarctions were studied with CT, conventional and diffusion MR imaging. The DWI and ADC parameters of acute cerebral stroke were analyzed. Results The DWI images of 25 acute cerebral infarcts, 1 hyperacute hematoma, 2 acute hematomas and 3 subacute hematomas were hyperintensity, and that of 8 early subacute hematomas were hypointensity. The DWI images of early stage of 4 chronic hematomas were hyperintensity at center and hypointensity at periphery, and that of late stage were hypointensity. The DWI images of acute hemorrhagic infarctions had both the hyperintensity and hypointensity. Meanwhile, the ADC images of majority of the lesions were hypointensity. Conclusion DWI could reflect the diffusion properties of different types of cerebral strokes and play an important role in evaluating the strokes.
