The levels of neurocyte damage markers, apoptosis markers and stress markers in serum as well as the expression of Wnt pathway molecules in peripheral blood were determined before treatment and 24 h after treatment.Results: Compared with those of same group before treatment, serum NSE, S100B, VILIP1, sFas, sFasL, ET-1 and MDA levels as well as peripheral blood GSK3β, LC3-II and Beclin1 expression intensity of both groups were decreasing whereas serum BDNF, NTF, sLivin and SOD levels as well as peripheral bloodβ-catenin and mTOR expression intensity were increasing, and serum NSE, S100B, VILIP1, sFas, sFasL, ET-1 and MDA levels as well as peripheral blood GSK3β, LC3-II and Beclin1 expression intensity of study group A after treatment were lower than those of study group B whereas serum BDNF, NTF, sLivin and SOD levels as well as peripheral bloodβ-catenin and mTOR expression intensity were higher than those of study group B.Conclusion: Mechanical embolus removal for acute middle cerebral artery occlusion can be more effective than intra-arterial thrombolysis to reduce the nerve function damage as well as the corresponding oxidative stress and apoptosis.展开更多

Methods: Nineteen locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients from November 2003 to November 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. NAIC was administrated 2 courses every 2 weeks using a combination of 30 mg/m^2 bleomycin and 50 mg/m^2 cisplatin via bilateral femur artedes. The response to NAIC was assessed by pelvic examination and imaging diagnostics and histological analysis. Two weeks after NAIC radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. Results: Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy were performed in 18 patients successfully. The mean tumor reduction rate was 73.04%. The overall clinical response rate of NAIC was 84.2% with 2 complete responses and 16 partial responses. Only 1 nonresponder. Six of 7 cases who had parametrial infiltration had a absence after chemotherapy, no significant change was observed in 1 case who followed by radiotherapy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that tumor volume prior to treatment was determining factor affecting the efficacy of NAIC in LACC. Conclusion: pre-operative NAIC inhibited the growth of LACC, minimized the size, eliminate effectively the pathologic dsk factors in the pelvic cavity, to improve the operability in cervical cancer patients with stage lib or above, considered inoperable.展开更多

Many interventions have been explored;however, a standard of care has yet to be defined. Recent studies have suggested localized intra-arterial fibrinolysis as a promising method;however, a timeframe for optimal treatment initiation continues to be investigated. This case demonstrates an instance of CRAO treated with local fibrinolysis, however, what could be due to delayed time-to-treat, final visual outcomes were unfavorable. In conjunction with supporting literature, we believe optimization of thrombolytic protocols should be sought after to facilitate successful treatment outcomes. In addition, we encourage community awareness of the signs and symptoms of CRAO in hopes that earlier patient presentations will lead to swifter interventions and overall preservation of ocular function.展开更多

However, effective treatments for patients with acute ischemic stroke are limited. Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(iv rtPA) within 4.5 h after onset has been approved as a standard treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, due to time constraints, less than one percent of acute ischemic stroke patients in Thailand are able to obtain iv rtPA. Although endovascular interventional therapy has not yet been approved as standard treatment in acute ischemic stroke, it is the one of the potentially effective treatment options. There are several reliable methods of endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke patients. Endovascular interventional therapy has rarely been done in Thailand. We report seven patients with successful recanalization after endovascular treatment in acute large vessel stroke from a single stroke center in Thailand. Patient screening and selection with multimodal imaging protocol and multimodality methods of endovascular interventional therapy are described.展开更多

文摘Stroke is an important cause of death and disability in adults. However, effective treatments for patients with acute ischemic stroke are limited. Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(iv rtPA) within 4.5 h after onset has been approved as a standard treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, due to time constraints, less than one percent of acute ischemic stroke patients in Thailand are able to obtain iv rtPA. Although endovascular interventional therapy has not yet been approved as standard treatment in acute ischemic stroke, it is the one of the potentially effective treatment options. There are several reliable methods of endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke patients. Endovascular interventional therapy has rarely been done in Thailand. We report seven patients with successful recanalization after endovascular treatment in acute large vessel stroke from a single stroke center in Thailand.
