冠心病患者颈动脉超声检测的临床意义

目的通过分析颈动脉粥样硬化与冠心病的关系探讨颈动脉超声对诊断冠心病的临床意义。方法将120例入选对象分为对照组,稳定性心绞痛(SA)组,不稳定性心绞痛(UA)组,急性心肌梗死(AMI)组,每组30例,分别给予超声检测颈动脉内-中膜厚度(IMT),同时测定3组冠脉造影结果:正常组21例,单支病变组18例,多支病变组29例。结果冠心病患者IMT较正常对照组有显著增厚(P<0.01),且冠脉造影正常组与单支、多支病变组间亦存在显著性差异(P<0.05)。结论颈动脉超声检测对冠心病的预测具有确切的临床意义。     

颈动脉支架治疗颈动脉狭窄的并发症

目的 探讨颈内动脉狭窄血管内支架治疗的并发症.方法 对648例颈内动脉狭窄患者行全脑血管造影及颈部超声检查.365例患者使用脑保护装置,283例未使用保护装置283例.结果 648例患者技术成功率为100%,患者症状消失或好转率为78.7%.心率＜50次/min者占26.4%;术中栓子脱落5例,其中3例治疗后恢复,2例遗留一侧肢体运动障碍,术后颅内出血死亡3例,术后30 d内总脑卒中或死亡6例,占1.2%.随访率为77 8%.再狭窄17例,占3.3%.结论 颈内动脉狭窄的血管内支架治疗是安全的,但术前对临床及影像学检查正确评价,术中规范化操作及术后规范化护理,是减少并发症的关键.     

颈动脉血管重建术对颈动脉狭窄患者认知功能的影响

颈动脉狭窄会导致患者远期认知功能下降，而既往研究表明颈动脉内膜剥脱术和支架
置入术作为治疗颈动脉狭窄的主要术式，可以改善患者的认知功能，尤其是执行能力等特定领域的
认知水平。进一步研究发现颈动脉血管重建术中栓子的形成，术后脑血流灌注提高，以及神经代谢
水平等改变可能在机制上解释颈动脉重建术后认知功能的变化；此外，围术期炎症反应，血脂水平，
以及基因易感性等都是术后远期认知功能结局的临床预测因素，以上因素对于提高颈动脉狭窄患者
的生活质量、治疗术式的优化具有重要临床意义。     

颈动脉支架植入术的术中护理干预

卒中高危人群糖化血红蛋白与颈动脉粥样硬化斑块的关系研究

目的 分析卒中高危人群糖化血红蛋白与颈动脉粥样硬化斑块的关系。
方法 2018年5-6月由孝感市中心医院按整群随机抽样方法，随机抽取孝感市城乡各1个社区居民
进行筛查，通过问卷调查、体格检查、实验室检查、颈部血管超声检查筛选卒中高危人群纳入研究。
根据颈动脉超声检测结果将卒中高危人群分为非斑块组和斑块组（颈动脉）。分别采用单因素和多
因素Logistic回归，分析糖化血红蛋白与颈动脉斑块的关系，并根据年龄（60岁）、BM（I 24 kg/m2）、是
否有高血压对研究人群进行分层分析，研究不同特征的卒中高危人群中糖化血红蛋白与颈动脉斑块
的关系。
结果 最终纳入卒中高危人群629例，男性338例（53.74%），平均54.85±8.97岁，糖化血红蛋白平
均浓度为4.70%±1.02%。其中斑块组患者215例（34.18%），非斑块组患者414例（65.82%）。与非斑
块组患者相比，斑块组患者男性、卒中、TIA、高血压、超重患者比例更高，年龄更大，BMI、血压、空
腹血糖、糖化血红蛋白、TC水平更高（均P＜0.01）。校正其他危险因素后，糖化血红蛋白是颈动脉
粥样硬化斑块发生的独立影响因素（每升高1%，OR 1.16，95%CI 1.01～1.31，P =0.018）。分层分析显
示，年龄≥60岁（OR 1.48，95%CI 1.09～2.01，P =0.016）、BMI≥24 kg/m2（OR 1.97，95%CI 1.07～3.64，
P =0.030）、高血压人群（OR 1.31，95%CI 1.06～1.62，P =0.013）中糖化血红蛋白均是颈动脉斑块发生
的独立危险因素。
结论 卒中高危人群糖化血红蛋白与颈动脉斑块的发生密切相关，特别是在年龄≥6 0岁、
BMI≥24 kg/m2和高血压人群中。

Ultrasound for the assessment of the embolic risk of carotid plaques

In a prospective study we compared duplex-ultrasound characteristics of symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenoses with cranial computerized tomographic (CCT) findings in 82 patients suffering from completed or transient middle cerebral artery symptoms. The aim was to assess the pathogenic role of ICA plaque morphology and the potential embolic risk of ICA plaques. The degree of carotid stenosis was estimated by spectral analysis of the pulsed Doppler signal. The CCT findings were classified as being either normal, lacunar lesions, hemodynamically induced low-perfusion infarctions, or territorial embolic infarctions. According to their ultrasonic features we characterized the ICA plaque surface as smooth or irregular and their structure as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Plaques with an irregular surface and heterogeneous echogenicity dominated significantly in CCT-territorial infarctions (p < 0.01), whereas hemodynamically induced low-perfusion infarctions showed no relationship with any plaque characteristic. High degree ICA stenoses (> 50>%) dominated in both territorial infarctions and low-perfusion infarctions, as compared to ipsilateral normal CCT or lacunes (p < 0.05). Normal CCT and lacunar infarctions were associated with homogeneous and smooth plaques (both p < 0.05). We conclude that > 50% ICA stenoses can cause both hemodynamically induced low-perfusion infarctions as well as thromboembolic territorial infarctions, whereas ulcerated and heterogeneous plaques constitute a high risk factor for arterio-arterial embolic stroke. Furthermore, carotid ultrasound may help to estimate the clinical significance of carotid lesions.     

A clinical comparison of 2 electric toothbrush designs

Abstract A single blind 30 day study compared the reduction of plaque and gingivitis for the Hapika® Powerbrush to the Interplak® ultra 10 tuft. A longitudinal parallel group design was utilized and screening evaluation was performed to determine patient eligibility prior to study enrollment. 66 subjects were entered into the study and assigned to 1 of 2 groups, each using one of the toothbrushes. At baseline, subjects received an oral soft tissue exam, a dental hard tissue exam, and were scored by the Lobene modification of the Löe and Silness gingival index (GI). Plaque was then disclosed and scored both pre and post brushing using the modified Turesky plaque/debris examination and an interproximal bleeding examination was performed post-brushing. On days 15 and 30, after an oral soft tissue and GI examination, plaque was graded by the Modified Turesky plaque/debris exam. Subjects then brushed and were graded by the Modified Turesky plaque/debris examination and an interproximal bleeding index examination. The results showed that both brushes provided a similar change in clinical indices. All produced a statistically significant reduction from baseline to day 30 for the gingival index (26.5-29.1%), the bleeding index (13.8-24.1%), and the plaque index (16.9-19.4%), A comparison of pre and post brushing scores for the plaque index at 30 showed that both brushes reduced plaque similarly with a statistically significant reduction (P<0.05) from their pre-brushing plaque index scores at all time periods.
