抗心磷脂抗体与脑血管病关系的研究

目的:探讨抗心磷脂抗体(aCL)与脑血管病(CVD)的关系。方法:检测266例缺血性脑血管病(ICVD)患者和73例脑出血(CH)患者血清aCL。结果:ICVD患者aCL阳性率高于对照组(P<0.01),且IgG型aCL比IgM型aCL阳性率升高(P<0.01)。CH患者aCL阳性率高于对照组(P<0.01)。ICVD组aCL阳性率与CH组比较无显著性差异(P>0.05),ICVD组、CH组和对照组不同性别间aCL阳性率无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论:aCL可作为CVD危险性增加的指标,对CVD的预测有一定意义,包括ICVD和CH患者,aCL阳性率男女性别之间无差异。     

Revascularization of the Posterior Circulation

The primary objective of revascularization procedures in the posterior circulation is the prevention of vertebrobasilar ischemic stroke. Specific anatomical and neurophysiologic characteristics such as posterior communicating artery size affect the susceptibility to ischemia. Current indications for revascularization include symptomatic vertebrobasilar ischemia refractory to medical therapy and ischemia caused by parent vessel occlusion as treatment for complex aneurysms. Treatment options include endovascular angioplasty and stenting, surgical endarterectomy, arterial reimplantation, extracranial-to-intracranial anastomosis, and indirect bypasses. Pretreatment studies including cerebral blood flow measurements with assessment of hemodynamic reserve can affect treatment decisions. Careful blood pressure regulation, neurophysiologic monitoring, and neuroprotective measures such as mild brain hypothermia can help minimize the risks of intervention. Microscope, microinstruments and intraoperative Doppler are routinely used. The superficial temporal artery, occipital artery, and external carotid artery can be used to augment blood flow to the superior cerebellar artery, posterior cerebral artery, posterior inferior cerebellar artery, or anterior inferior cerebellar artery. Interposition venous or arterial grafts can be used to increase length. Several published series report improvement or relief of symptoms in 60 to 100% of patients with a reduction of risk of future stroke and low complication rates.     

Bilateral perioral sensory symptom after unilateral stroke: Does it have a localizing value?

Bilateral perioral sensory dysfunction due to unilateral cerebral lesion is rare, and has been thought to be caused by midline brainstem lesions. Six patients are described herewith, with bilateral perioral sensory symptoms due to unilateral strokes that do not involve the mid-brainstem region. Brain-computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated unilateral cerebral strokes in the thalamus, posterior limb of the internal capsule, basal ganglia, fronto-parietal cortex and the insular-frontal subcortical area. This observation suggests that bilateral perioral sensory symptoms do not have a localizing value. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms for this sign are discussed.     

The validity of a simple clinical classification of acute ischaemic stroke

The aim of the study reported here was to test the validity of a simple clinical classification of acute ischaemic stroke (Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project, OCSP) in predicting the site and size of cerebral infarction on computed tomography (CT). Consecutive patients admitted to hospital with acute ischaemic stroke were prospectively identified and classified into one of four clinical syndromes according to the OCSP classification, blind to the result of CT. The CT brain scans were classified blind to the clinical features into those demonstrating: small, medium or large cortical infarcts; small or large subcortical infarcts in the anterior circulation territory; and posterior cerebral circulation territory infarcts. A total of 108 patients were included. A recent infarct was seen. on the CT scan in 91 patients (84%), and the clinical classification correctly predicted the site and size of the cerebral infarct in 80 of these (88%; 95% confidence interval 77–92%). The positive predictive value was best for large cortical infarcts (0.94) and worst for small subcortical infarcts (0.63). The OCSP clinical classification is a reasonably valid way of predicting the site and size of cerebral infarction on CT and can, therefore, be used very early after stroke onset before the infarct appears on the scan.     

通脉灵对心肌缺血再灌注犬心功能的保护作用

本实验复制２４只杂种犬心肌缺血再灌注损伤病理模型，应用与生理盐水、丹参对比的方法观察通脉灵对血液动力学及心功能的影响。结果表明，通脉灵小剂量组（ＴＭ１Ｇ）、通脉灵大剂量组（ＴＭ２Ｇ）和丹参对照组（ＤＳＧ）的心输出量（ＣＯ），心脏指数（ＣＩ），心搏指数（ＳＩ）、左室内压峰值（ＬＶＳＰ）及左室内压最大变化速率（±ｄｐ／ｄｔｍｓｘ）均明显高于生理盐水对照组（ＮＳＧ）。本实验证明，通脉灵主要是通过保护心肌舒缩功能改善血液动力学指标进而防止缺血再灌注时心功能不全的发生。     

Pattern-reversal electroretinograms and visual evoked potentials in branch retinal vein occlusion

We recorded pattern electroretinograms and visual evoked potentials in a group of selected patients with unilateral uncomplicated branch retinal vein occlusion. To document the effects of preexisting risk factors, patients were divided into three groups: diabetes mellitus, hypertension with hyperlipidemia and no systemic disease. The transient and steady-state pattern electroretinogram and visual evoked potential amplitudes were significantly reduced and visual evoked potential peak times were delayed relative to the fellow eyes and agematched normal subjects. There was a second amplitude reduction relative to the other patient groups in both the affected and fellow eyes of the diabetes mellitus group, which was indicative of an additive effect of diabetes mellitus.Abbreviations BRVO branch retinal vein occlusion     

选择性髂内动脉结扎与栓塞对盆腔血供的影响

目的：旨在探讨选择性髂内动脉结扎与栓塞两种方法对盆腔血供的影响。方法：将两组犬在膀胱上动脉分支以下之髂内动脉分别行结扎与栓塞，对比观察两组膀胱创面出血、盆腔动脉造影及盆腔脏器组织学变化，以确定其盆腔脏器的血供情况。结果：①结扎组膀胱创面出血明显大于栓塞组；②结扎组髂内动脉侧支循环建立时间明显早于且数目多于栓塞组；③两组盆腔脏器均未见缺血坏死。结论：栓塞组阻断髂内动脉侧支循环的数目多于结扎组，故对盆腔血供的影响大于结扎组。避免髂内动脉阻断范围过广可减少盆腔脏器缺血坏死的机会。     

踝/肱指数对下肢动脉硬化性闭塞症缺血程度的评价

目的：利用检测下肢动脉硬化性闭塞症患的踝/肱指数对其下肢缺血程度进行评估。方法：采用以色列Flo-link 500T血管多普勒诊断仪对我院50例确诊为下肢动脉硬化性闭塞症患进行了分组踝/肱指数的检测。结果：踝/肱指数在0．5—0．9之间，常提示下肢动脉或近端有单水平阻塞；踝/肱指数在0．45以下常提示患下肢缺血程度严重，为坏疽前期静息痛表现；踝/肱指数在0．30以下多伴有缺血性溃癌或坏死。结论：踝/肱指数的检测可以反映下肢缺血程度，指导临床选择治疗方法，判断愈后及疗效，其无创性、可重复性、价格低康，更易被患接受。
