Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers analyzed data from 226 patients who received a CT scan within 6 hours of their symptoms and used various measurements (hematoma volume, PHE volume, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio) to identify predictors of PHE growth.
  • * The findings revealed that a PHE volume increase of 5.5 mL is a critical threshold for predicting poor outcomes, with significant predictors being hematoma surface area, presence of an expansion-prone hematoma, and PLR,

Background: Several studies report that radiomics provides additional information for predicting hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the comparison of diagnostic performance of radiomics for predicting revised hematoma expansion (RHE) remains unclear.

Methods: The cohort comprised 312 consecutive patients with ICH.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and D-dimer-to-fibrinogen ratio (DFR) as predictors of pneumonia and poor outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: We retrospectively examined patients with acute ICH treated in our institution from May 2018 to July 2020. Patient characteristics, laboratory testing data, radiologic imaging data, and 90-day outcomes were recorded and analyzed.

The original intracerebral hemorrhage (oICH) score is the severity score most commonly used in clinical intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) research but may be influenced by hematoma expansion or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) growth in acute ICH. Here, we aimed to develop new clinical scores to improve the prediction of functional outcomes in patients with ICH. Patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University with primary ICH were prospectively enrolled in this study.

Background Noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers are the emerging predictors of hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the relationship between NCCT markers and the dynamic change of hematoma in parenchymal tissues and the ventricular system remains unclear. Methods and Results We included 314 consecutive patients with intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from July 2011 to May 2017.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between hematoma ventricle distance (HVD) and clinical outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with ICH in a tertiary academic hospital between July 2011 and April 2018. We retrospectively reviewed images for all patients receiving a computed tomography (CT) within 6 h after onset of symptoms and at least one follow-up CT scan within 36 h.

Article Synopsis
  • A new scoring system called the "Slice score" was created to measure the severity of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in patients who had a brain bleed called intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
  • Researchers studied 652 brain scans from 326 patients to see how well the Slice score predicted bad outcomes like death or disability after 90 days.
  • The Slice score worked well, showing good connections with IVH volume and helping to identify patients at risk for poor outcomes, with certain score thresholds indicating higher chances of bad results.

In vivo electroporation of morpholinos (MOs) into the retina of adult zebrafish is an efficient method to study gene function related to retinal disease and regeneration. However, the currently reported methods are complicated with low MO transfer efficiency and high probability to cause collateral damage. The present study was aimed to optimize the existing MO electroporation methods.

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to determine the frequency and characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) due to drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between nervous system drugs recorded for hospitalized patients in China. The secondary objective was to identify and record the possible mechanisms underlying these DDIs.

Methods: In this retrospective study performed from January 2007 to December 2012, we detected and analyzed ADRs caused by potential or actual DDIs between nervous system drugs, by using the Center of Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring, Bengbu Food and Drug Administration (CADRMBFDA) database.

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a leading cause of morbidity in developed countries and represent a substantial burden on health-care resources. Many countries spent 15% to 20% of their hospital budgets to treat drug complications. However, few studies have measured the pharmacoeconomic effects of ADRs on hospitalized patients in China.

Resonance Raman spectra were obtained for (E)-beta-nitrostyrene in cyclohexane solution with excitation wavelengths in resonance with the charge transfer (CT)-band absorption spectrum. These spectra indicate that the Franck-Condon region photodissociation dynamics have multidimensional character with motion predominantly along the nominal NO(2) symmetric stretch mode (nu(14)), the nominal C=C stretch mode (nu(8)), the nominal benzene ring stretch mode (nu(9)), accompanied by a smaller amount of motion along the nominal ONO symmetric bend/benzene ring stretch mode (nu(34)), the nominal CCH in-plane bending mode (nu(20)), the nominal HC=CH in-plane bending mode (nu(18)), the nominal NO(2) asymmetric stretch mode (nu(11)), the nominal C-N stretch/benzene ring breathing mode (nu(27)), and the nominal CCC trigonal bending mode (nu(25)). A preliminary resonance Raman intensity analysis was done and these results for (E)-beta-nitrostyrene were compared to results previously reported for several nitrobenzene and trans-stilbene compounds.

Resonance Raman spectra were obtained for 2-nitrophenol in cyclohexane solution with excitation wavelengths in resonance with the charge-transfer (CT) proton transfer band absorption. These spectra indicate that the Franck-Condon region photodissociation dynamics have multidimensional character with motion along more than 15 normal modes: the nominal CCH bend+CC stretch nu(12) (1326 cm(-1)), the nominal CCC bend nu(23) (564 cm(-1)), the nominal CO stretch+NO stretch+CC stretch nu(14) (1250 cm(-1)), the nominal CCH bend+CC stretch+COH bend nu(15) (1190 cm(-1)); the nominal CCH bend+CC stretch nu(17) (1134 cm(-1)), the nominal CCC bend+CC stretch nu(22) (669 cm(-1)), the nominal CCN bend nu(27) (290 cm(-1)), the nominal NO(2) bend+CC stretch nu(21) (820 cm(-1)), the nominal CCO bend+CNO bend nu(25) (428 cm(-1)), the nominal CC stretch nu(7) (1590 cm(-1)), the nominal NO stretch nu(8) (1538 cm(-1)), the nominal CCC bend+NO(2) bend nu(20) (870 cm(-1)), the nominal CC stretch nu(6) (1617 cm(-1)), the nominal COH bend+CC stretch nu(11) (1382 cm(-1)), nominal CCH bend+CC stretch nu(9) (1472 cm(-1)). A preliminary resonance Raman intensity analysis was done and the results for 2-nitrophenol were compared to previously reported results for nitrobenzene, p-nitroaniline, and 2-hydroxyacetophenone.

These spectra indicate that the Franck-Condon region photodissociation dynamics have multidimensional character with motion mainly along the nominal NO2 symmetric stretch mode (nu 11), the nominal benzene ring stretch mode (nu 7), accompanied by a moderate degree of motion along the nominal ONO symmetry bend/benzene ring stretch mode (nu 23), the nominal C-N stretch/benzene ring breathing mode (nu 16), the nominal CCC bending mode (nu 20) and the nominal CCH in-plane bending mode (nu 14).
