The Clinical Analysis on Complication of Stent-assisted Coiling in Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysms / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To retrospectively analyze the postoperative morbidity of patients with complex intracranial aneurysms treated by stent-assisted coiling and investigate the causes and treatment strategy of postoperative morbidity. Methods 62 SAH patients with intracranial aneurysm were treated by stent-assisted coiling, 53 cases of single aneurysms, 9 cases of multi-aneurysms (8 cases of 2 aneurysms, 1 cases of 3 aneurysms), amount to 72 aneurysms, 71 aneurysms were treated by stent-assisted coiling. Results Completed embolization 53 cases were completed with embolization partial embolization (74.64％), Nearly all embolization 17 cases were nearly all embolization (23.94％), partial embolization and 1case was s (1.42％) . According to GOS, 52 patients with a score of GOS 5, 6 patients with a score of GOS 4, 3 patients with a score of GOS 3, 2 patients with a score of GOS 1. 58 (93.5％) patients survived favorably. 9 patients with complications (14.5％), 3 patients with acute thrombosis; 2 patients with rupture of aneurysms during surgery; 3 patients with cerebral angiospasm; There was no obvious abnormality during the surgery in 1 patient, and there was a focal ischemic change followed by a mild neurological deficiency. Conclusions Stent assisted coil embolization of intracranial ruptured aneurysm is safe, effective and feasible, but we should improve clinical skills, summarize the analysis in the clinical operation experience of clinical treatment so as to reduce complications. Timely and correct treatment is also very important when complications occur.

Improved neurite outgrowth on central nervous system myelin substrate by siRNA-mediated knockdown of Nogo receptor / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

<p><b>PURPOSE</b>To investigate the in vitro effect of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against Nogo receptor (NgR) on neurite outgrowth under an inhibitory substrate of central nervous system (CNS) myelin.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Three siRNA sequences against NgR were designed and transfected into cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) to screen for the most effcient sequence of NgR siRNA by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence staining. NgR siRNA sequence 1 was found the most efficient which was then transfected into the CGCs grown on CNS myelin substrate to observe its disinhibition for neurite outgrowth.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the scrambled control sequence of siRNA, the NgR siRNA sequence 1 significantly decreased NgR mRNA level at 24 h and 48 h (p <0.05), which was recovered by 96 h after transfection. NgR immunoreactivity was also markedly reduced at 24 and 48 h after the transfection of siRNA sequence 1 compared with that before transfection (p<0.05). The NgR immunoreactivity was recovered after 72 h post-transfection. Moreover, the neurite outgrowth on the myelin substrate was greatly improved within 72 h after the transfection with siRNA sequence 1 compared with the scrambled sequence-transfected group or non-transfected group (p<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>siRNA-mediated knockdown of NgR expression contributes to neurite outgrowth in vitro.</p>

Effect of arousal methods for 175 cases of prolonged coma after severe traumatic brain injury and its related factors / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the effect of arousal methods for prolonged coma of 175 patients with severe traumatic brain injury and related factors.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>There were 175 cases with persistent coma longer than 1 month after severe traumatic brain injury. Coma lasted 1-12 months. Arousal procedures included hyperbaric oxygen, physical therapy and arousal drugs.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the 175 prolonged coma patients 110 got recovery of consciousness; in 118 cases with coma of 1-3 months, 86 cases recovered consciousness (72.9%); in 42 cases with coma of 4-6 months, 20 cases recovered consciousness (47.6); and in 15 cases with coma of longer than 6 months, only 4 cases recovered consciousness (26.7%). The recovery of consciousness depended on patient's primary brain stem damage, cerebral hernia, GCS score, and age.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Application of appropriate arousal procedures improves recovery of consciousness in patients with prolonged coma.</p>
