Substantial progresses have been made in cerebral vascular diseases in 2017. By retrospectively analyzing the clinical researches which Chinese experts participated in or were in charge of, this article briefly summarizes the update of stroke epidemiology, explorations of stroke-related risk factors, early management of acute stroke, secondary prevention and prognosis of stroke. These researches include the problems about the dose of thrombolysis medicine, new type of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs, prognosis of intracranial hemorrhage and signs of intracranial hematoma enlargement, which have close connection with clinical work and are valuable in practice.
ObjectiveTo identify a more popularized preparation protocol of leukocytes-rich platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) for higher tolerance rate.MethodsThe peripheral blood samples of 76 volunteers (45.0 mL/case) were mixed with 5 mL sodium citrate injection for blood transfusion, and L-PRP was prepared by twice centrifugations. All blood samples were divided into three groups according to the parameters of twice centrifugation: experimental group A (12 cases, 400×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 100×g, 10 minutes for the second time), experimental group B (27 cases, 800×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 100×g, 10 minutes for the second time), and control group (37 cases, 1 360×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 360×g, 10 minutes for the second time). The platelet recovery rate and platelet and leukocyte enrichment coefficient of L-PRP in each group were calculated and compared.ResultsAfter removal of abnormal blood samples (platelet recovery rate was more than 100% or white thrombus), the remaining 55 cases were included in the statistical analysis, including 10 cases in experimental group A, 21 cases in experimental group B, and 24 cases in control group. The platelet enrichment coefficient and platelet recovery rate of experimental group B were significantly higher than those of experimental group A and control group (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between experimental group A and control group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in leukocyte enrichment coefficient between experimental groups A, B, and control group (P>0.05).ConclusionThe preparation quality of PRP is affected by various factors, including centrifugal force, centrifugal time, temperature, and operation process, etc. Twice centrifugation (800×g, 10 minutes for the first time and 1 100×g, 10 minutes for the second time) is an ideal and feasible centrifugation scheme, which can obtain satisfactory platelet recovery rate and enrichment coefficient with thicker buffy coat, which can reduce the fine operation requirements for operators, improve the fault tolerance rate and generalization.
ObjectiveTo analyze the effectiveness of percutaneous injection of autologous concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of delayed fracture healing.MethodsA prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind case study was conducted. Between March 2016 and July 2018, 66 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for delayed fracture healing but had solid internal fixation of the fracture end were randomly divided into control group (31 cases, treated with percutaneous autogenous bone marrow blood injection) and study group (35 cases, treated with percutaneous autogenous cBMA+PRP injection). General data such as gender, age, body mass index, site of delayed fracture healing, length of bone defect at fracture end, and preoperative radiographic union score for tibia (RUST) showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Before injection, Kirschner wire was used in both groups to stimulate the fracture end and cause minor injury. The fracture healing time, treatment cost, and adverse reactions were recorded and compared between the two groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate pain improvement. The tibial RUST score was extended to the tubular bone healing evaluation.ResultsNo infection of bone marrow puncture needle eyes occurred in both groups. In the control group, local swelling was obvious in 5 cases and pain was aggravated at 1 day after operation in 11 cases. In the study group, postoperative swelling and pain were not obvious, but 2 cases presented local swelling and pain. All of them relieved after symptomatic treatment. Patients in both groups were followed up, the follow-up time of the control group was 16-36 months (mean, 21.8 months), and the study group lasted 14-33 months (mean, 23.2 months). The amount of bone marrow blood was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (t=4.610, P=0.000). The degree of postoperative pain in the study group was less than that in the control group, and the treatment cost was higher than that in the control group. But the differences between the two groups in VAS score at 1 day after operation and treatment cost were not significant (P>0.05). Fracture healing was achieved in 19 cases (61.3%) in the control group and 30 cases (85.7%) in the study group. The difference in fracture healing rate between the two groups was significant (χ2=5.128, P=0.024). Fracture healing time and RUST score at last follow-up were significantly better in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). At last follow-up, RUST scores in both groups were significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05).ConclusionAutogenous cBMA combined with PRP percutaneous injection can provide high concentration of BMSCs and growth factors, and can improve the fracture healing rate and shorten the fracture healing time better than autogenous bone marrow blood injection.
ObjectiveTo explore the relation between preoperative serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet ratio (GPR) and overall survival (OS) of patients with hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (Abbreviated as “patients with HCC”), and to establish a nomogram for predicting OS. MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the clinicopathologic data of patients with HCC who underwent radical resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Xianyang Central Hospital, from January 15, 2012 to December 15, 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal critical value of GPR was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve, then the patients were divided into a low GPR group (GPR was optimal critical value or less ) and high GPR group (GPR was more optimal critical value). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve and analyze the OS of patients. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to analyze the factors influencing prognosis in the patients with HCC. According to the risk factors of OS for patients with HCC, a nomogram was established. The consistency index and calibration curve in predicting the 3-year and 5-year accumulative OS rates of patients with HCC were evaluated. ResultsA total of 213 patients were gathered. The optimal critical value of GPR was 0.906. There were 114 patients in the low GPR group and 99 patients in the high GPR group. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 1-, 3- and 5-year accumulative OS rates were 99.1%, 81.8%, 60.6% in the low GPR group, respectively, which were 74.2%, 49.1%, 35.7% in the low GPR group, respectively. The OS curve of the low GPR group was better than that of the high GPR group (χ2=25.893, P<0.001). The multivariate analysis results showed that the microvascular invasion, incomplete capsule, intraoperative bleeding ＞1 000 mL, postoperative complications, GPR >0.906, low tumor differentiation, and late TNM stage did not contribute to accumulative OS in the patients with HCC (P<0.05). The consistency index (95%CI) of the nomogram in predicting accumulative OS rates at 3- and 5-year for patients with HCC were 0.761 (0.739, 0.783) and 0.735 (0.702, 0.838), respectively. The calibration curves of 3- and 5-year accumulative OS rates of the nomogram were in good agreement with the actual results. ConclusionsPreoperative GPR is associated with OS, and patients with higher GPR have worse prognosis. The nomogram based on GPR has a good accuracy and differentiation.
Acute cerebral infarction is characterized by high incidence rate, high recurrence rate, high disability rate and multiple complications. Early evaluation and treatment of acute cerebral infarction is particularly important to improve the survival rate and prognosis of patients. As an easily available clinical laboratory indicator, blood routine test can reflect the pathological changes in the body to a certain extent. In recent years, many studies have shown that the indicators such as red cell volume distribution width, mean platelet volume, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio in blood routine examination have important values in the onset, severity and prognosis of acute cerebral infarction. This article reviews the correlations of the above parameters and ratio parameters with acute cerebral infarction, in order to provide some reference and basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of acute cerebral infarction.
ObjectiveTo summarize the effectiveness and safety of antiplatelet combined with anticoagulant therapy for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). MethodUsing the search strategy developed by Cochrane Collaborative Network, the relevant literature from domestic and foreign databases as of November 1, 2023 was searched and a meta-analysis of outcome indicators was conducted using Stata 14.0 software and Review Manager 5.4.1 software provided by Cochrane Collaboration Network. ResultsA total of 15 eligible literature and 15 383 patients were included, including 7 692 in the antiplatelet combined with anticoagulant therapy group (study group) and 7 691 in the control group (only antiplatelet drug therapy). The meta-analysis results showed that: ① Symptoms: The ankle brachial index [mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI)=0.04(0.02, 0.06)] and the minimum lumen diameter [MD (95%CI)=0.48(0.40, 0.55)] of the study group were greater than those of the control group; The plasma D-2 dimer level of the study group was lower than that of the control group [MD (95%CI)=–0.55(–0.57, –0.52)], and the probability of the limb ischemia risk of the study group was lower than that of the control group [risk ratio (RR) and 95%CI=0.67(0.56, 0.80)]. ② Vascular patency: The probability of the vascular patency of the study group was higher than that of the control group [RR (95%CI)=1.13(1.08, 1.17)]; The subgroup analysis results: the vascular patency rate of the two antiplatelet drugs combined with anticoagulation therapy was highest among the different treatment regimens [effect size (ES) and 95%CI=0.90(0.86, 0.94)], which of the other measures in descending order was only one antiplatelet drug combined with anticoagulation therapy [ES(95%CI)=0.82(0.76, 0.89)], two antiplatelet drugs therapy [ES(95%CI)=0.79(0.72, 0.85)], and only one antiplatelet drug therapy [ES(95%CI)=0.71(0.54, 0.87)]; The probability of the vascular patency using vitamin K antagonists in the study group was higher than that in the control group [RR(95%CI)=1.15(1.10, 1.20)], which had no statistical difference using Ⅹa inhibitor between the study group and the control group [RR(95%CI)=1.04 (0.95, 1.15)]. ③ Bleeding risk: The risk of bleeding of the study group was higher than that of the control group [RR(95%CI)=1.55(1.27, 1.89)]; The subgroup analysis results: The bleeding rate of the only one antiplatelet drug therapy among the different intervention measures was the lowest [ES(95%CI)=0.02(0.01, 0.02)], which of the other measures in ascending order was only one antiplatelet drug combined with anticoagulant therapy [ES(95%CI)=0.04(0.03, 0.06)], two antiplatelet drugs therapy [ES(95%CI)= 0.08(0.06, 0.10)], and two antiplatelet drugs combined with anticoagulant [ES(95%CI)=0.12(0.06, 0.18)]; The probabilities of the bleeding occurring using the vitamin K antagonists and Ⅹa inhibitor in the study group were higher than those in the control group [RR(95%CI)=1.76(1.28, 2.42); RR(95%CI)=1.44(1.12, 1.84)]. ConclusionsFrom the results of this meta-analysis, it can be seen that the combination of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy can effectively improve symptoms of patients with PAD, increase vascular patency rate, but it has a certain risk of bleeding. The combination of only one antiplatelet drug combined with anticoagulant therapy might achieve an optimum clinical effect and lower bleeding risk.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by prospective clinical study.MethodsBetween June 2015 and June 2018, 180 patients with KOA met the inclusion criteria were included in study and randomly allocated to group A (n=60), group B (n=60), and group C (n=60). The patients were treated with autologous PRP intra-articular injection in group A, extracorporeal shock wave therapy in group B, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with autologous PRP intra-articular injection in group C, once a week and 5 times a duration of treatment. There was no significant difference in age, gender, disease duration, side of KOA, and Kellgren-Lawrence grading between groups (P>0.05). The pain and function of knee joint were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Lequesne Index score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and knee joint activity before treatment and at 1, 3, and 5 weeks after the first treatment.ResultsThere were significant differences in VAS score, Lequesne Index score, WOMAC score, and knee joint activity between pre- and post-treatment in all groups (P<0.05). VAS score, Lequesne Index score, and WOMAC score gradually decreased with the prolongation of treatment time (P<0.05); but there was no significant difference in knee joint activity between different time points (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS score, Lequesne Index score, WOMAC score, and knee joint activity between groups before treatment (P>0.05); the scores of group C were superior to groups A and B (P< 0.05) at different time points after treatment; while the knee joint activities of 3 groups were similar (P>0.05).ConclusionThe extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with PRP injection can relieve the pain synergistically for KOA.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of autologous injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-PRF) combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for sciatic nerve injury in rats.MethodsBMSCs were isolated and cultured from tibial bone marrow of Sprague Dawley (SD) neonatal rats aged 10-15 days and passaged to the 4th generation. i-PRF was prepared from posterior orbital venous blood of adult SD rats by improved low-speed centrifugation. Twenty-four adult SD rats were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 rats in each group after the sciatic nerve Ⅲ degree injury model was established by modified crush injury method. Groups A, B, C, and D were injected with BMSCs suspension+autologous i-PRF, autologous i-PRF, BMSCs suspension, and normal saline, respectively. The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score was used to evaluate the recovery of neurological function of the affected limb of rats every week from 1 to 8 weeks after operation. At 2 months after operation, the rats were sacrificed and the histological changes of sciatic nerve were observed by HE staining. The microstructural changes of nerve fibers, myelin sheath, and nucleus were observed by transmission electron microscope. The expressions of N-cadherin, Nestin, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected by Western blot.ResultsNo immune rejection or death occurred in the rats after operation. There was no significant difference in BBB scores between groups at 1 week after operation (P>0.05); at 2-8 weeks after operation, BBB scores in group A were significantly higher than those in groups B, C, and D, and in groups B, C than in group D (P<0.05), there was no significant difference between groups B and C (P>0.05). HE staining showed that the nerve fibers in group A arranged in order, without defect or demyelination; the nerve fibers in group B were not clear and slightly swollen; some of the nerve fibers in group C were disordered and demyelinated; the nerve fibers in group D were not continuous, obviously demyelinated, and some of the nerve adventitia damaged. Transmission electron microscope showed that the structure of nerve fibers in group A was clear, myelin sheath was complete, and nucleus was dense; group B was slightly less than group A; group C had fuzzy structure, demyelination, and hollowing out; group D had disorder structure, demyelination, and hollowing out, and the middle part of nerve adventitia continuity. Western blot detection results showed that there was no significant difference in the relative expression of Nestin between groups (P>0.05). The relative expression of N-cadherin was significantly lower in groups B, C, and D than in group A, in groups C and D than in group B, and in group D than in group C (P<0.05). The relative expression of GFAP was significantly lower in groups B, C, and D than in group A, in group D than in groups B and C (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between groups B and C (P>0.05).ConclusionAutologous i-PRF combined with BMSCs can effectively treat sciatic nerve tissue injury in rats.
Objective To review and evaluate the clinical application of autologous plateletrich gel (APG) in refractory chronic diabetic cutaneous ulcers. Methods The latest literature was extensively reviewed, and the potential mechanism of APG for healing diabetic cutaneous ulcers was discussed. Results APG accelerated the ulcer healing, especially in healing the refractory diabetic cutaneous ulcers, and the high-level growth factors from the platelet releasate were thought to be the major potential mechanism of the APG action. Conclusion APG can promote the healing of refractory chronic diabetic cutaneous ulcers. Topical haemotherapy withAPG may be considered an adjuvant treatment of a multidisciplinary process and may be useful to the effective therapy of cutaneous ulcers.
