Article Synopsis
- CADASIL has been observed in various regions, but there is limited data on its prevalence in the Chinese population.
- A study of 52 Chinese CADASIL patients revealed that symptoms typically onset around age 42, with common issues including strokes, hemorrhages, migraines, and dementia.
- The findings indicate similarities with CADASIL patients worldwide, but with higher cases of intracerebral hemorrhage and vertigo in Chinese patients, and genetic mutations mainly found in exons 3 and 4.
Information regarding the characteristics of pleural effusions in patients with POEMS syndrome is limited. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence and risk factors of pleural effusions in patients with POEMS syndrome and characterize the pleural fluid biochemistry in those patients. A retrospective review of 96 patients with POEMS syndrome was conducted.

We described the frequency of ascites at presentation of POEMS syndrome and further evaluated for the pathogenesis and nature of the ascites. One hundred and six consecutive patients with POEMS syndrome in Chinese PLA General Hospital were evaluated for the presence of ascites, and the cellular and biochemical characteristics of the ascitic fluids were assessed.

Methods: A total 46 patients with POEMS syndrome and 46 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) were included in this study. Six nerve conduction parameters including (1) motor conduction velocity, distal compound muscle action potential; (2) conduction block and temporal dispersion; (3) motor distal latency; (4) F wave; and (5) sensory conduction velocity were reviewed for the subjects in both POEMS and CIDP groups.
