血浆蛋白C、蛋白S与脑梗死的相关性研究

目的研究血浆蛋白C、蛋白S与脑梗死发病的关系。方法对64例脑梗死患者及15例正常对照组进行血浆蛋白C(PC)、蛋白S(PS)检测,并分析其与脑梗死严重程度、年龄及其它脑梗死危险因素之间的关系。结果实验组血浆PC浓度(4.97±1.82μg/ml)与对照组血浆PC浓度(4.74±1.95μg/ml)之间差别无统计学意义;首发组血浆PC浓度(5.28±1.85μg/ml)与复发组血浆PC浓度(4.03±1.40μg/ml)之间差别有统计学意义(P=0.016);实验组血浆PS浓度(7.47±3.87μg/ml)与对照组血浆PS浓度(12.06±3.99μg/ml)之间差别有统计学意义,中老年组血浆PS浓度(6.58±3.33μg/ml)与青年组血浆PS浓度(9.28±4.33μg/ml)之间差别有统计学意义。结论PC降低是复发性脑梗死的危险因素之一;游离PS降低是脑梗死的危险因素;PS水平的降低导致PC功能的降低,进而凝血功能障碍,导致脑梗死的发生。     

一种基于血管内皮细胞损伤的大鼠局灶性脑梗死模型

目的：建立一种因血管内皮细胞损伤而诱导的大鼠局灶性脑梗死模型。方法：取S—D大鼠11只，分离左侧颈总动脉、颈外动脉和颈内动脉。结扎左颈外动脉远心端，夹闭左翼腭动脉和颈总动脉，经颈外动脉逆行插管并缓慢注入月桂酸钠至颈内动脉系统，造成大脑中动脉血管内皮细胞受损。结果：从模型动物的行为表现、梗死灶形态学和病理学进行考察，10只大鼠均产生一定程度的脑梗死表现，造模成功率为90．9％。结论：该模型的稳定性和重复性较好，能在大脑中动脉的供血区产生恒定的梗死灶，适合进行脑缺血损伤的有关实验研究。     

Acute cerebral infarction: pathophysiology and modern treatment concepts

Summary This review focuses on the pathophysiological changes in acute cerebral ischemia, with special emphasis on disturbances of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) and the associated penumbra concept. Alternatively, the model of peri-infarct depolarization is demonstrated. Metabolic and molecular changes caused by cerebral ischemia and reperfusion are discussed, namely energy failure, release of glutamate with an excitatoric burst, calcium influx in neurons, generation of free radicals, activation of different proteases, disturbances of protein synthesis, induction of gene expression and apoptosis, loss of membrane integrity, edema formation and microvascular disturbances. In summary, the pathophysiological changes after focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion are most adequately described by a network of interacting different mechanisms of tissue alterations. The simple concept of a cascade of ischemic effects which would be easy to block seems to be less applicable. A time window of approximately 6 h for the acute stroke therapy is postulated on the base of the above mentioned pathophysiological changes. The recently introduced treatment regimen with optimized basic treatment, recanalization using thrombolysis and neuroprotection by different agents is presented. Different modes of a possible intervention are discussed. Modern concepts of stroke therapy including stroke-unit care and thrombolysis with add-on neuroprotection seem to have potential for improving the outcome of acute stroke patients.      

Hepatic infarction with portal thrombosis

A case of hepatic infarction with portal thrombosis is reported. A 63-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices was admitted for treatment of the esophagel varices. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) were performed. Two months later, she experienced right hypochondralgia and right flank pain. Serum transaminase levels were suddenly elevated, and computed tomography scans of the liver showed multiple small nodular lesions. Her condition worsened, and she died of hepatic failure. Autopsy revealed splenic and portal vein thrombosis, multiple hepatic infarction, and evidence of chronic pancreatitis. We believe that liver cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis were the main risk factors for the portal thrombosis, and the treatment for esophageal varices appeared to have triggered the thrombosis. The hepatic infarction was caused by the portal thrombosis.     

严重鼻衄行颌内动脉栓塞术并发脑梗塞死亡

报道１例严重鼻衄伴高血压、动脉硬化患者，经常规方法止血无效，行患侧颌内动脉超选择性栓塞术。术后鼻出血停止，但出现脑梗塞、昏迷，经抢救无效，于术后第９天死亡。认为对有动脉硬化的患者，应不用或慎用超选择性动脉栓塞术。     

急性心肌梗死再灌注期间的心电变化特征

目的　探讨急性心肌梗死 (AMI)再灌注期间的心电变化特征。方法　 46例经急诊冠状动脉造影明确为成功再灌注的AMI,其中 2 4例接受溶栓治疗和 2 2例接受直接经皮腔内冠状动脉成形 ,于发病的 6小时内以动态心电图技术持续2 4小时监测心电图变化 ,并与 1 5例无灌注者进行对比。结果　①再灌注发生后 ,相应导联ST段迅速下降 ,约 2小时达较低水平 ;同时 ,T波正向振幅进行性降低 ,距再灌注 0～ 2 2 (2 7± 4 5)小时呈现T波倒置并逐渐加深。②再灌注后的 1小时内 ,室性心律失常明显增加 ,6～ 8小时后显著减少。结论　AMI早期再灌注发生后呈现特征性心电变化 ,及时识别这些特征将有助于临床评估再灌注状态和危险度分层     

Dipyridamole technetium 99m sestamibi myocardial tomography as an independent predictor of cardiac event-free survival after acute ischemic events

Background  

A total of 137 consecutive patients with recent uncomplicated myocardial infarction (n=31) or unstable angina (n=106) were studied to determine the relative prognostic value of predischarge clinical risk stratification and intravenous dipyridamole stress sestamibi (MIBI) myocardial tomography in patients unable to exercise maximally after an acute ischemic coronary event.     

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for demonstration of cerebral infarcts

Summary Forty-one patients demonstrating clinical symptoms for cerebral infarction were investigated by magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (DWI) and T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). In 8 patients only DWI showed the cerebral lesions clearly. One patient with positive DWI and T2WI suffered from HSV encephalitis. DWI is superior to T2WI in assessment of small cortical infarcts and cerebral infarction in patients with preexisting vascular lesions. DWI is not specific, so other causes like cerebral hematoma and encephalitis have to be considered.
