ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the correlation between serum hs -CRP levels and MR Imaging in ischemic cerebrovascu-lar patients.To explore the hs -CRP serum levels in ischemic cerebrovascular patients incidence of early diagnosis and prognosis e-valuation application value.Methods 300 cases of ischemic cerebrovascular disease as the research object were selected from May 2013 to December 2014.The disease is classified into acute cerebral infarction group 100 cases, acute phase of cerebral infarction group 140 cases and transient ischemic attack 60 cases.Among 100 cases of patients with acute cerebral infarction group, in accord-ance with the MR Imaging data, they can be subdivided into three groups.Group A: lacunar infarction group 28 cases; Group B:small area of infarction group 50 cases and group C: large area of infarction group 22 cases.Another 40 healthy physical examination were selected as control group.The hs -CRP serum levels were made correlation analysis with MR Imaging.Results The acute cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attack group serum hs -CRP level difference compared with the control group with statisti-cal significance (p<0.05); The SPSS Spearman correlation analysis result shows that the hs -CRP serum levels and MR Imaging data shown in the infarction area and the body has a direct correlation .Conclusion The ischemic cerebrovascular disease patients se-rum hs-CRP level with MR Imaging have shown increased infarct size and raise.Damage area is bigger, and the corresponding serum hs-CRP levels changes more violently.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the prevalence of hyperuricemia and thyroid dysfunction. Methods 10 405 active and retired workers aged 21 to 89 years in a Petrochemical Corporation in Ningho area of Zhejiang Province were included. Serum thyroid-stimulation hormone (TSH), free thyroxine thyroid diseases, the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 4.2%, 2.9% in male and 7.2% in female. The percentage of subjects with low TSH concentration was 0.4% in male and 0.9% in female,the percentage of TSH subjects,the serum uric acid was significantly increased in subjects with high TSH (P<0.05) and not an independent factor associated with hyperuricemia (OR=1.61 for male and 1.72 for female, P value was less than 0.01 for both). Conclusion The prevalence of hyperuricemia is significantly associated with increased TSH concentration. Overt or subclinical hypothyroidism may be risk factors for hyperuricemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the radiological images of osteonecrosis in rare positions in recovered SARS patients, and to study the correlation with the hormone application.Methods The extremities of 41 SARS patients in the recovery stage from June to August in 2003 were examined by using X-ray and 0.5T MR scanner, then the correlation of MR examination results and the application of hormone was analyzed.The mean time interval between the imaging examination and initial hormone application was 88.2 days (66～106 days), the mean maximum hormone (metastab) dose was 392 mg (320-480 mg), and the average medication time was 47.2 days (30-70 days).Results The osteonecrosis of rare positions was revealed in 5 cases involving 11 positions, including bilateral heads of humerus (3), right scaphoid bone (1), right talus (1), bilateral calcaneus (1), and right ischium (1).The main MR manifestation was irregular abnormal signal.Osteonecrosis of right ischium was demonstrated on plain film in only one case.Conclusion MR examination, especially the multi-location scan is necessary in finding the osteonecrosis in SARS patients in the earlier phase.The hormone dose, the medication duration, the sensitivity to hormone, and the difference of individuals are important causes of osteonecrosis.
