Abstract Thus far, it is well known that increased blood pressure variability may exacerbate stroke outcomes. Blood in the acute phase would be influenced by both reactive hypertension to and intrinsic reactivity. Thus, we aimed evaluate association between outcomes at 3 months using ambulatory monitoring ischemic patients subacute after subsided. We retrospectively examined 626 consecutive with who underwent 24-hour during of (median, 9 days from onset). The was evaluated assessing standard...
大建中湯の消化管運動に対する作用およびイレウス治療に対する有用性について検討した. 方法: 意識下の雑種成犬4頭を用いて, 大建中湯投与前後の消化管運動をstrain gauge transducer法により測定した. さらに, xylocaineにより胃粘膜を麻酔した後に同量の大建中湯を投与した. 臨床的検討として, イレウスにて入院となった患者の在院日数を大建中湯投与群と非投与群で比較検討した. 結果: 大建中湯の投与後, 胃, 十二指腸, 空腸および回腸の運動亢進が観察された. 胃粘膜麻酔後には, これらの消化管運動亢進作用はまったく認められなかった. 臨床的検討では, 大建中湯投与群の在院日数は21.8±2.4日で非投与群は, 27.7±2.9日で両群間に有意の差を認めた. 結論: 大建中湯は, 粘膜刺激を介して, 強い上部消化管運動亢進作用を有する. この大建中湯の薬理作用および作用機序は, 臨床的にイレウス治療に対して十分応用価値があるものと考えられた.
The prediction of functional outcome is essential in the management acute ischemic stroke patients. We aimed to explore various prognostic factors with multivariate linear discriminant analysis or neural network and evaluate associations between candidate factors, baseline characteristics, outcome.Acute patients (n=1,916) premorbid modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores 0-2 were analyzed. models (quantification theory type II) (log-linearized Gaussian mixture network) used predict poor (mRS 3-6...
Several cohort studies have shown that periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk for stroke. However, it remains unclear whether serum antibody titers a specific pathogen are outcome after ischemic stroke, and which kinds of pathogens We examined the relationship between IgG to in stroke patients. A total 445 patients acute (194 female [44.0%], mean age 71.9±12.3 years) were registered this study. Serum 9 (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans,...
Stroke can be a cause of death, while in non-fatal cases it is common various disabilities resulting from associated brain damage. However, whether specific periodontal pathogen with increased risk unfavorable outcome after stroke remains unknown. We examined factors for following occurrence, including serum antibody titers to pathogens. The enrolled cohort included 534 patients who had experienced an acute stroke, were divided into favorable (n = 337) and 197) groups according modified...
Oral health conditions and cerebral small vessel disease, such as white matter lesions or microbleeds (CMBs), are associated with the incidence of stroke. The purpose this study was to examine associations between oral (serum IgG titers periodontal pathogens) presence severity CMBs in acute stroke patients. From January 2013 April 2016, patients were registered two hospitals. Serum samples evaluated for antibody against 9 pathogens using ELISA method. cut-off points reactivity (the positive...

症例は69歳の男性である.入院10日前頃から左下肢に帯状疱疹(herpes zoster; HZ)が出現し,その後四肢痙性運動不全麻痺を発症した.皮疹は左腰髄L2~4領域と全身にも散在していた.脊髄MRIで延髄下端~胸髄Th2の長軸に長いT2強調像で高信号病巣を示した.髄液蛋白増加,リンパ球優位の細胞増加を示し,水痘・帯状疱疹ウイルス(varicella-zoster virus; VZV)DNAが陽性であった.血清抗myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein(MOG)抗体が陽性で抗aquaporin4抗体は陰性であった.肺炎と肝障害も認め,皮疹の状況から汎発性HZと思われた.HZが引き金となり,抗MOG抗体が産生されて,脊髄炎が発症した病態が推察された.
Serum 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) levels are a measure that provides information on daily glycemic variations. We evaluated whether 1,5-AG could be possible marker of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient attacks (TIA) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records 5,294 AIS/TIA patients. Of the 5,294, 1,898 had and 1,246, serum were measured (group S). Group S was divided into 2 subgroups: hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) <7% (S-low) >7% (S-high)....
2004年~2014年で,成人無菌性髄膜炎365例中,ムンプス髄膜炎は13例(3.6%,29.8 ± 7.0歳)であった.季節性はないが,地区のムンプス流行に一致した発症率であった.耳下腺腫脹は8例(61.5%),精巣炎は男性7例中2例(28.6%)に認めた.重症度,転機を含めエコーウイルス髄膜炎に類似するが,髄液の単核球比率が高かった.発症前にムンプス患者との接触は8例(61.5%),ワクチン接種は1例,非接種9例,3例は確認できなかった.抗ムンプス抗体価から判断して,6例は初感染,2例は再感染が疑われ,初感染の高齢化が認められた.ワクチン接種歴のある症例は二次性ワクチン不全と思われた.
