ObjectiveTo systematically review the association between migraine and lacunar infarcts on MR image.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and cross-sectional studies on the association between migraine and lacunar infarcts from inception to March 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 5 studies involving 5 104 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there were no significant associations of migraine (OR=0.93, 95%CI 0.78 to 1.12, P=0.470) and aura (OR=1.10, 95%CI 0.89 to 1.36, P=0.390) with lacunar infarcts on MR image. Subgroup analysis by age, presence or absence of aura showed no significant tendency.ConclusionsThere is no significant relationship between migraine and lacunar infarcts. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
In 2014, the new concept of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) was first proposed by cryptogenic stroke/ESUS International Working Group. In the past 5 years, related clinical researches of ESUS have been deepened, and the results of many large clinical studies have been published. However, the guiding significance of this new concept to clinical practice is still controversial. By reviewing the background, diagnostic criteria, assessment, common emboli sources, anticoagulant therapy research advances and related limitations of ESUS, and analyzing the possible causes of negative anticoagulant therapy results, we explored the clinical value of this new classification.

Methods One eight-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital for tonic seizure in October 2008. The physical examination results were normal with neither facial hemangioma nor ocular abnormalities. The only manifestation of the patient was epilepsy. The patient was treated with sodium valproate. Results According to cranial CT and MRI results, the patient was considered to have Sturge-Weber syndrome without facial hemangioma. The patient was treated with anticonvulsant drugs and experienced no recurrence of the seizures or any manifestations of mental retardation, hemiplegia, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage, stroke-like episodes or migraine during the following 12 months of follow-up. Conclusion In the absence of facial hemangioma, the diagnosis can be based on cranial CT and MRI. Sturge-Weber syndrome patients without facial hemangioma are helped by anticonvulsant drugs. According to this case and the reports of literature, most patients without facial hemangioma only manifest epilepsy which can be treated effectively with antiepileptic drugs and such patients have a good prognosis without operation, which is different from those with facial hemangioma.
目的 比較5種新一代抗癲癇藥物對成人全面強直陣攣發作單藥治療的保留率。 方法 選擇2010年7月－2011年6月354例確診為癲癇全面強直陣攣發作患者，分別采用拉莫三嗪、左乙拉西坦、奧卡西平、托吡酯、加巴噴丁5種藥物進行單藥治療，對其5種藥物的6、12個月保留率進行比較。 結果 5種藥物的6、12個月保留率分別為：拉莫三嗪90.8%、79.8%，左乙拉西坦88.0%、66.7%，奧卡西平82.1%、58.2%，托吡酯81.2%、58.0%，加巴噴丁26.5%、20.6%。6個月保留率加巴噴丁與其他4種藥物比較差異有統計學意義（P＜0.001），其他藥物之間差異無統計學意義。12個月保留率拉莫三嗪與其他4種藥物比較差異有統計學意義（P＜0.005），其他藥物之間差異無統計學意義。 結論 拉莫三嗪對成人全面強直陣攣發作單藥治療12個月保留率最高。通過對5種新一代抗癲癇藥物12個月保留率比較研究，可以對臨床單藥治療癲癇藥物選擇提供一定參考。
Objective To investigate the expression of ADAM9 in breast cancer and its clinical significance. Methods The expressions of ADAM9 in normal breast tissues and breast cancer tissues were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry, and whose relationship with clinicopathologic features was analyzed. Results The expression of ADAM9 mRNA increased in the breast cancer tissues, but which was not detected in the normal breast tissues. The expression of ADAM9 protein in the breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in the normal breast tissues (Plt;0.05), and which in the metastatic lymph nodes was significantly higher than that in the negative lymph nodes or corresponding primary lesions (Plt;0.05). The expression of ADAM9 in the breast cancer tissues was correlated with the lymph node metastasis and histological grade (Plt;0.05). Conclusion ADAM9 is overexpressed in the breast cancer tissues, which might involve in the pathological progression of breast cancer.
Objective To investigate the influence on the postoperative recovery for giving either total parenteral nutrition （TPN） or early enteral nutrition (EEN) to patients with gastric cancer after total gastrectomy. Methods Eighty-six patients with gastric cancer undergone total gastrectomy were divided into TPN group (n=31) and EEN group (n=55). Patients in TPN group received TPN support via vena cava (internal jugular vein or subclavian vein), while patients in EEN group received early feeding through the naso-intestinal tube, which was placed during operation, and volume of enteral nutrition (fresubin) was increased daily, full enteral nutrition was expected on day 3-5. Nutrition status after operation, postoperative plasma albumin (Alb), the time of passing gas or stool, the time of oral intake, hospital stay and any postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed. Results There were no significant differences between two groups (Pgt;0.05) in postoperative plasma Alb level, the time of passing gas or stool, postoperative complications rate or hospital stay. However, in the TPN group, the time of oral intake was shorter than that in EEN group (P=0.004). Conclusions Both TPN and EEN are the suitable nutritional methods for patients with gastric cancer after total gastrectomy, and with no detectable difference. For patients with high risk, such as severe malnutrition, naso-intestinal tube should be placed for EEN.
ObjectiveTo systematically analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and epidemiological trends of tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer (TBL) disease burden attributed to air pollution globally and in China and the United States from 1990 to 2021. Furthermore, based on predictive models, assess the patterns of disease burden changes from 2022 to 2031, providing a scientific basis for formulating targeted TBL prevention and control strategies. MethodsBased on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, we analyzed the disease burden data of TBL attributed to air pollution globally and in China and the United States from 1990 to 2021. R Studio 4.3.2 software was used to analyze the corresponding trends and the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) prediction model was used to predict the status of the disease burden of TBL attributed to air pollution in the world and in China and the United States from 2022 to 2031. ResultsIn 2021, the highest number of deaths and disability-adjusted life years attributed to air pollution were in China (211 400 patients and 4.8947 million person-years), followed by the United States (6 000 patients and 124 300 person-years). The age standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and age standardized disability-adjusted life years rate (ASDR) of TBL due to air pollution in the world and in China and the United States showed a decreasing trend (with an average annual percentage change of<0). From 1990 to 2021, the ASMR and ASDR of TBL in China due to air pollution were much higher than those in the United States and the global average. In terms of gender, from 1990 to 2021, the disease burden of male patients with TBL attributed to air pollution in the world and in China and the United States was much higher than that of female patients. The BAPC prediction model showed that from 2022 to 2031, the ASMR and ASDR of TBL attributed to air pollution will showed an upward trend globally, while they showed a downward trend in China and the United States. ConclusionOver the past 30 years, the air pollution-related TBL disease burden in the world and in China and the United States has continued to decline, but China's level is still significantly higher than the global average. The disease burden in men far exceeds that in women, with men and the elderly population aged ≥50 years being high-risk groups. In the future, the global disease trend may reverse and rise, while China and the United States are expected to continuously decline. However, precise prevention and control for high-risk groups remains a key challenge.
Objective To analyze the disease burden and trends of tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer (TBL) attributable to occupational carcinogens in China from 1990 to 2021, in order to provide reference for the prevention and control of TBL in China. Methods Based on the Global Burden of Disease database 2021, with occupational carcinogens as relevant risk factors and tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer as the study diseases, data on mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to occupational carcinogens in China from 1990 to 2021 were extracted and age-standardized. Joinpoint regression models were used to calculate the annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Hiplot was used to visualize the distribution of disease burden by gender and age. The grey model GM (1, 1) was used to predict the disease burden and trends of TBL attributable to occupational carcinogens in China from 2022 to 2031. Results From 1990 to 2021, the overall mortality rate, DALYs rate, age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized DALYs rate of TBL attributable to occupational carcinogens in China increased from 1.85/100 000,53.93/100 000, 2.64/100 000, and 69.50/100 000 in 1990 to 5.22/100 000, 129.29/100 000, 3.49/100 000, and 83.80/100 000in 2021, respectively. The growth rates were 182.16%, 139.74%, 32.20%, and 20.58%, respectively. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the AAPC values of overall mortality rate, DALYs rate, age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized DALYs rate of TBL attributable to occupational carcinogens in China from 1990 to 2021 were 3.41%, 2.87%, 0.92%, and 0.62%, respectively (all P<0.001), showing an overall upward trend, with higher values in females than in males. In 2021, the overall mortality rate of TBL attributable to occupational carcinogens in China gradually increased with age, with high mortality rates mainly concentrated in those aged ≥65 years, and higher rates in males than in females. The overall DALYs rate showed a trend of increasing first and then slowly decreasing with age, peaking at 65-69 years old, with higher rates in males than in females. The grey prediction model GM (1, 1) showed that the predicted values of mortality rate, DALYs rate, age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized DALYs rate of TBL attributable to occupational carcinogens in China from 2022 to 2031 all showed an upward trend. By 2031, the predicted values of mortality rate, DALYs rate, age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized DALYs rate will reach 7.19/100 000, 175.63/100 000, 4.16/100 000, and 93.64/100 000, respectively. Conclusion From 1990 to 2021, the mortality rate, DALYs rate, age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized DALYs rate of TBL attributable to occupational carcinogens in China all showed an upward trend. Males and the elderly are the main populations affected by the disease burden of TBL attributable to occupational carcinogens in China. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of occupational carcinogens and promote health education.
