Clinical Presentation of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in Han-Chinese.

The clinical presentation in Chinese patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) may be unique due to the big difference in the codon 129 polymorphism of the prion protein gene (PRNP). This study retrospectively reviewed 26 cases of sCJD diagnosed in a single center in recent years. All 26 sCJD patients received brain magnetic resonance imaging scan, cerebrospinal fluid 14-3-3 protein detection, electroencephalogram, and PRNP gene screening.

[Therapeutic efficacy analysis of bronchoscopic interventional therapy on severe tuberculous main bronchial stenosis complicated with unilateral atelectasis].

Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of bronchoscopic interventional therapy on severe tuberculous main bronchial stenosis or atresia complicated with unilateral atelectasis.

Methods: Ninety patients with severe tuberculous main bronchial stenosis or atresia complicated with unilateral atelectasis, who had received bronchoscopic interventional therapy, were divided into group A and B according to whether stents had been implanted or not. Patients in group A had been treated with electrocautery, balloon dilatation and cryotherapy.
