ObjectiveTo explore the relevance of an increase in neutrophil count and early neurological deterioration (END) after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on the patients who received thrombolysis treatment of alteplase within 4.5 hours after onset between January 2017 and November 2018. Based on the existence of END, the patients were divided into the END group and the non-END group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to analyze the relevances between END and the indexes such as neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) after thrombolysis. Paired sample t test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to compare the changes of neutrophil and lymphocyte before and after thrombolysis.ResultsA total of 187 patients were included, including 48 in the END group and 139 in the non-END group. Before thrombolysis, the differences of total protein (t=2.130, P=0.035) and albumin (t=2.777, P=0.007) between the two groups were statistically significant, but the differences in other clinical indexes between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). After thrombolysis, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, NLR, fibrinase degradation product, baseline and change of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score, proportion of cardiogenic embolism, degree of responsible vascular stenosis and anterior circulation cortical infarction site were all higher in the END group than those in the non-END group (P<0.05). The total protein, albumin, lymphocyte count and prealbumin in the END group were lower than those in the non-END group (P<0.05). Neutrophil in the END group increased significantly (Z=−2.314, P=0.021) after thrombolysis. Neutrophil count [odds ratio=1.288, 95% confidence interval (1.069, 1.552)] was one of the independent influencing factors of venous thrombolysis END, and the specificity was the highest (the sensitivity was 62.5%, and the specificity was 71.9%).ConclusionsAfter thrombolysis, elevated neutrophil count has some relevance to END. Dynamic monitoring on neutrophil count after intravenous thrombolysis treatment can predict the occurrence of END.
Objective To investigate the characteristics and possibility of using an image analyzer-aided method to count axotomized retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Methods The left optic nerves of 18 rats were transected intraorbitally and a piece of gelform soaked in 5% fluorogold was applied to the ocular stump to retrogradely label the surviving RGCs. All animals were executed 2, 7 or 14 d ays after the operation (n=6 for each time point), respectively. The left retinae were removed, post-fixed and whole-mounted on the slides. The numbers of labeled RGCs were counted using both the conventional sampling method and image analysis, and compared statistically between the two methods.Results The number of surviving RGCs decreased sharply［(12 0663±9 089), (59 285±17 071) and (17 802±19 8 4) cells/mm2 for image analyzer-aided method, and (118 237±7 898), (57 648±14 533) and (18 070±1 461) cells/mm2 for conventional sampling method］when the survival time increased from 2 to 7 and 14 days. No significant difference was detected between the two groups at any corresponding time points.Conclusion The image analyzer-aided method is convenient, objective and reproducible, which can be used in the studies where counting RGCs is needed.

Purpose To analyze the relationship of retinal artery occlusion(RAO) with the white blood cell(WBC) count and inflammatory diseases away from the eyes. Methods Ninety-fours patients with retinal artery occlusion were studied retrospectively.The patients were divided into 2 groups,one of which with inflammatory diseases,the other without.An age and sex matched control group was made. Results Fifty four(58%) cases had inflammatory diseases of various causes at the same time,among which only 14(26%) cases directly involved the eyes.WBC count was significantly higher after the occurrence of RAO(Plt;0.05),comparing with that of the control group. Conclusion Inflammatory diseases away from the eyes may be oneof the factors causing RAO.The increased WBC count may be an inflammatory reaction to RAO. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1998,14:159-161)
ObjectivesTo assess the predictive value of neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) in the diagnosis of children complicated appendicitis.MethodsThe clinical data of patients with acute appendicitis treated in Department of Pediatric Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2014 to June 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the pathology results, patients were divided into two groups: simple appendicitis and complicated appendicitis. The differences of age, gender, disease time, fever, highest temperature, emesis, right lower abdominal pain, blood indicators, and ultrasound results between the two groups were analyzed. Useful parameters to aid in the diagnosis of children complicated appendicitis were screened through single-factor and multiple-factor analysis. The predictive value of the parameters was evaluated by ROC analysis, sensitivity and specificity.ResultsA total of 235 patients was evaluated and divided into simple appendicitis group (179 patients) and complicated appendicitis group (56 patients). Logistic regression analysis revealed that NLR was the independent risk factor for diagnosis of children complicated appendicitis. When NLR>11.74, the Youden index for predictive complicated appendicitis was the biggest, reaching 0.325, and the sensitivity and specificity were 47.8% and 84.7%, respectively (OR=3.121, 95%CI 2.036 to 4.783).ConclusionsThe preoperative NLR is a certain indicator for predicting children complicated appendicitis, and can be used as reference to whether or not receive an operation.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical value of procalcitonin (PCT), WBC count, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).MethodsA total of 80 patients with bile duct stones were retrospectively analyzed, which were divided into two groups, SIRS group (n=40) and non-SIRS group (n=40). The numerical value of PCT, WBC count, and CRP were detected on 1, 4, and 7 day after admission, and calculated the score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) on 1 day after admission. Then analyzed the clinical value of PCT, WBC count, and CRP in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and SIRS.ResultsEach area under the ROC curve of PCT, CRP, and WBC count were 0.81, 0.78, and 0.72, respectively, with significant difference (P<0.05). The PCT, CRP, and WBC count had a certain accuracy in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and SIRS. The positive-relationship between PCT, CRP, WBC count and APACHE Ⅱ score was significant (r=0.91, P<0.01; r=0.88, P<0.01; r=0.69, P<0.01).ConclusionTo detect the numerical value of PCT, WBC count, and CRP had significant clinical value in diagnosis of common bile duct stones with acute bile duct infection and SIRS.
Objective To investigate the effects of QUE on proliferation and DNA synthesis of cultured retinal pigment epithelium(RPE) cells with or without EGF. Methods With or without EGF, cultured RPE cells were treated with QUE by various concentrations(200,100,50,1mu;mol/L) and with QUE 200mu;mol/L at different times(24-168 hr), cells proliferation and DNA synthesis were evaluated by cell count method and the uptake of thymidine. The viability of cells was determined by trypanblue exclusion. Results The best concentration of QUE which inhibits proliferation and DNA synthesis of PRE cells was 200mu;mol/L. The significant inhibition effect of QUE occurred at 48hr, and the best inhibition of QUE occurred at 96hr. QUE had more powerful effect of antiproliferation on RPE cells, and the viability of RPE cells was over85%. Conclusion The results suggested that QUE could inhibit the proliferation of RPE cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, especially inhibit the proliferation induced by EGF stimulating. QUE had no cyto-toxic effect on RPE cells cultured in vitro. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:27-29)
ObjectiveTo investigate the ultrasonic changes of hepatic veins and splenic veins during various immune stages with different CD4+T lymphocyte count. MethodsFifty AIDS/HIV patients with chronic viral hepatitis treated between January 2010 and October 2013 were designated as the case group, and another 50 patients with simple chronic viral hepatitis were regarded as the controls. For patients in the case group, we observed their ultrasonic changes of hepatic and splenic veins during various immune stages with different CD4+T lymphocyte count. The results of observation and clinical laboratory analysis were compared. ResultsAbnormal ultrasonic changes were detected in the liver in various immune stages based on the CD4+T lymphocyte count, and the main manifestations of these changes included unclear portal and splenic vein distal direction, wide diameter, slowed blood flow velocity, and disappearance of fluctuations of blood flow spectrum; and unclear hepatic vein distal direction, low and three-phase, and negative blood flow spectrum with the disappearance of windows were also detected. There were no statistical differences between the case group and the control group when the CD4+T cell count was over 300/mm3, and a few indexes were significantly different when the CD4+T cell count was between 100 and 200/mm3. However, the differences of almost all indexes were significant when the CD4+T cell count was below 100/mm3. ConclusionPatients with HIV/AIDS combined with chronic viral hepatitis have ultrasonographic abnormalities of intrahepatic and splenic veins, which is more obvious as the CD4+T cell count declines. Overall consideration of intrahepatic vein and splenic vein ultrasonic indicators helps clinical assessment of disease development in patients with HIV/AIDS combined with chronic viral hepatitis.
Objective To evaluate the value of Sysmex XT-4000i hematology analyzer in its body-fluid mode in cell count and cell differential count of pleural effusion, ascites and cerebrospinal fluid samples. Methods A total of 95 pleural effusion, ascites and cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from patients hospitalized between May and September 2015. The samples were tested by Sysmex XT-4000i hematology analyzer (instrument method) and modified Neubauer hemocytometer (manual method) for cell count, and the results of them were compared and analyzed. Results The instrument method and the manual method had a good consistency in nuclear cell count and erythrocyte count (kappa=0.965,P< 0.001; kappa=0.988,P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the count of mononuclear cells (P> 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the count of multiple nuclear cells (P<0.05). Conclusions Hematology analyzer in its body-fluid mode may replace manual method in cell count of pleural effusion, ascites and cerebrospinal fluids for its high precision, high efficiency and easy operation. However, cell differential count of this method needs microscopic examination assistance.
