Objective To investigate the relationship between thyroid function and brain volume in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods A total of 64 AD patients(AD group)and 36 patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI group)admitted in our department from January 2020 to March 2022 were enrolled in this study.Another 19 healthy individuals who had no cogni-tive impairment or psychiatric disorders were enrolled and served as normal control group.Their levels of free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4)and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)were detected by electrochemical luminescence assay.Results FT3 level was significantly decreased in the MCI group and AD group than the normal control group[2.50(2.28,2.60)ng/L and 2.07(1.97,2.30)ng/L vs 2.76(2.55,2.93)ng/L,P＜0.05],and the decrease in the AD group was more obvious than that in the MCI group.The volumes of the midbrain,pons,medulla oblon-gata,hippocampus,amygdala and temporal lobe were significantly smaller in the AD group than the MCI group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate linear regres-sion analysis showed that in the AD patients,FT3 and FT4 levels were positively while TSH level was negatively correlated with the volumes of both right and left hippocampus and amygdala(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and TSH level was also negatively correlated with the left temporal lobe volume(P＜0.05).Conclusion Thyroid dysfunction is associated with reduced brain volume in AD patietns,and may contribute to the progression of AD cognitive dysfunction and brain atrophy.

Objective To investigate the current status of secondary prevention of cerebral infarction in Longquanyi District of Chengdu. Methods Prospective Investigation on the secondary prevention was conducted in 94 pa-tients with cerebral infarction at 3, 12 and 24 months following stroke. Results The percentages of patients receiving anti-platelet therapy, antihypertensive treatment, antidiabetic drug treatment and statin therapy were 96.8%, 92.1%, 91.7%and 63.8%at hospital discharge, 79.8%, 88.9%, 91.7%and 55.3%at 3 months, 76.1%, 75.0%and 41.4%, 63.8%at 12 months and 33.0%, 71.4%;58.3%and 22.3%at 24 months, respectively. None of stroke patients with atrial fibrillation re-ceived anticoagulation therapy. Conclusion There is a large gap between the current practice of secondary prevention and guideline in patients with cerebral infarction in Longquanyi District of Chengdu.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a HPLC method for the determination of levofloxacin hydrochloride in the levoflo_ xacin hydrochloride ointment.METHODS:The chromatographic column was C 18 ,the mobile phase was consisted of0.05mol/L citric acid-acetonitrile(85∶15)with detection wavelength at293nm and flow speed at1.0ml/min,the column temperature was40℃and the sample size was10?l.RESULTS:Good linear relation was achieved when the levofloxacin hydrochloride concen-tration was at the range of3.88～37.88ug/ml(r=0.9998);The average recovery was99.4%(n=9).CONCLUSION:This determination method is accurate,reliable and it can act as an effective quality control for levofloxacin hydrochloride ointment.
