Objective: To assess the ability of ABCD3-I score in evaluating the early risk of cerebral infarction after transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Methods: A total of 107 TIA patients were evaluated according to ABCD2, ABCD3 and ABCD3-I criteria. The occurrences of cerebral infarction within 2 days and 7 days were observed.

Results: The AUC(ROC) of ABCD2, ABCD3 and ABCD3-I were 0.61, 0.66 and 0.71 in predicting the risk of cerebral infarction within 2 days, and were 0.62, 0.68 and 0.74 in predicting within 7 days, respectively. Among 107 patients with TIA, 13 evolved into cerebral infarction within 2 days, accounting for 12.1%, and 24 within 7 days, accounting for 22.4%.According to ABCD3-I criteria, 17 patients were of low risk scored 0-3; 54 patients were of medium risk scored 4-7; and 36 patients were of high risk scored 8-13. The different incidence of cerebral infarction after TIA was related to ABCD3-I score: the higher the score was, the higher incidence was. Except for age factor, every score item of ABCD3-I display obvious influence to the occurrence of cerebral infarction within 2 days and 7 days after TIA (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: ABCD3-I criteria could more effectively predict the occurrence of early risk of cerebral infarction after TIA, which could be used in regular clinical practice for assistance in TIA risk stratification and treatment.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of infants and young children with basal ganglia infarction after minor head trauma (BGIMHT).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and follow-up results of children aged 28 days to 3 years with BGIMHT who were hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Soochow University from January 2011 to January 2022.

Results: A total of 45 cases of BGIMHT were included, with the most common symptom being limb movement disorders (96%, 43/45), followed by facioplegia (56%, 25/45).

Microglia M1 polarization plays important role in the development of ischemic stroke (IS). This study explored the role of transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2) in regulating microglia M1 polarization during IS. TTC staining was used to determine the cerebral infarction, and Nissl staining was applied to examine neuronal injury.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of butylphthalein injection combined with alteplase thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and its effects on lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) levels.

Methods: A total of 127 ACI patients admitted to Shandong Provincial Third Hospital between March 2020 and June 2023 were included and divided into a butylphthalein group (n = 67) and a control group (n = 60) based on their treatment regimen. All patients received basic treatment.

The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a widely-used mechanical circulatory support device that enhances hemodynamics in patients with heart conditions. Although the IABP is a common clinical tool, its effectiveness in enhancing outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock remains disputed. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of intra-aortic dual-balloon pump (IADBP) and its impact on aortic hemodynamics compared with an IABP.

Thrombolysis for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev

January 2025

Ageing Clinical and Experimental Research, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage continues to cause a significant burden of morbidity and mortality despite advances in care. Trials investigating local administration of thrombolytics have reported promising results.

Objectives: - To assess the effect of thrombolysis on improving functional outcome and case fatality following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage - To determine the effect of thrombolysis on the risk of cerebral artery vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischaemia, and hydrocephalus following subarachnoid haemorrhage - To determine the risk of complications of local thrombolysis in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (last searched 9 March 2023), MEDLINE Ovid (1946 to 9 March 2023), and Embase Ovid (1974 to 9 March 2023).
