The levels of neurocyte damage markers, apoptosis markers and stress markers in serum as well as the expression of Wnt pathway molecules in peripheral blood were determined before treatment and 24 h after treatment.Results: Compared with those of same group before treatment, serum NSE, S100B, VILIP1, sFas, sFasL, ET-1 and MDA levels as well as peripheral blood GSK3β, LC3-II and Beclin1 expression intensity of both groups were decreasing whereas serum BDNF, NTF, sLivin and SOD levels as well as peripheral bloodβ-catenin and mTOR expression intensity were increasing, and serum NSE, S100B, VILIP1, sFas, sFasL, ET-1 and MDA levels as well as peripheral blood GSK3β, LC3-II and Beclin1 expression intensity of study group A after treatment were lower than those of study group B whereas serum BDNF, NTF, sLivin and SOD levels as well as peripheral bloodβ-catenin and mTOR expression intensity were higher than those of study group B.Conclusion: Mechanical embolus removal for acute middle cerebral artery occlusion can be more effective than intra-arterial thrombolysis to reduce the nerve function damage as well as the corresponding oxidative stress and apoptosis.展开更多

Delayed treatment often leads to serious consequences, including intestinal necrosis, resection, and even patient death. Endovascular repair is being introduced, which can improve clinical symptoms and prognosis and decrease the incidence of exploratory laparotomy. Many reports have described successful endovascular revascularization of embolic SMA occlusion. However,most of those reports are case reports, and there are few reports on Chinese patients. In this paper, we describe the technical and clinical outcomes of aspiration therapy using a guiding catheter and long sheath technique which facilitates the endovascular repair procedure.AIM To evaluate the complications, feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of endovascular treatment for the acute embolic occlusion of the SMA.METHODS This retrospective study reviewed eight patients(six males and two females)from August 2013 to October 2018 at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. The patients presented with acute embolic occlusion of the SMA on admission and were initially diagnosed by computed tomography angiography(CTA). The patients who underwent endovascular treatment with a guiding catheter had no obvious evidence of bowel infarct. No intestinal necrosis was identified by gastrointestinal surgeons through peritoneal puncture or CTA. The complications, feasibility, effectiveness, safety, and mortality were assessed.RESULTS Six(75%) patients were male, and the mean patient age was 70.00 ± 8.43 years(range, 60-84 years). The acute embolic occlusion of the SMA was initially diagnosed by CTA. All patients had undertaken anticoagulation primarily, and percutaneous aspiration using a guiding catheter was then undertaken because the emboli had large amounts of thrombus residue. No death occurred among the patients. Complete patency of the suffering artery trunk was achieved in six patients, and defect filling was accomplished in two patients. The in-hospital mortality was 0%. The overall 12-mo survival rate was 100%. All patients survived, and two of the eight patients had complications(the clot broke off during aspiration).CONCLUSION Aspiration therapy is feasible, safe, and beneficial for acute embolic SMA occlusion. Aspiration therapy has many benefits for reducing patients' death,resolving thrombi, and improving symptoms.展开更多
