Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of statins for preventing stroke recurrence. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CSJD, and CJFD for randomized controlled trials on the use of statin drugs to prevent stroke recurrence (up to May 10, 2008), and manually searched key Chinese magazines in the related fields. Two reviewers extracted data independently using a designed extraction form. The quality of included trials was evaluated according to the Cochrane handbook 4.12. RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analysis. Results Six randomized controlled trials involving 9,675 patients were identified. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in stroke recurrence rate (RR=0.94, 95%CI 0.84 to 1.04, P=0.21) and fatal stroke occurrence (RR=0.77, 95%CI 0.48 to 1.25, P=0.30) between statins and placebo groups, but a significant difference was found between the two groups in transient ischemic attack occurrence (RR=0.80, 95%CI 0.69 to 0.92, P=0.002). Conclusion Current evidence indicates that statin drugs have no superiority to prevent stroke recurrence and fatal stroke occurrence, but can prevent transient ischemic attack.
目的探讨肝内胆管残留或再发结石的外科治疗方法及疗效。方法对1998年7月至2004年10月期间收治的96例肝内胆管残留或再发结石患者的资料进行回顾性分析。结果行肝叶切除44例； 肝段切除11例； 肝门部胆管切开并肝膈面实质切开联合取石引流术11例，其中附加胆肠大口径Roux-en-Y吻合术10例； 肝门部胆管整形、肝管空肠大口径Roux-en-Y吻合术30例。全组术中均采用胆道镜检查取石，术后经T管窦道检查取石6例。术后随访1~6年，76例（79.2%）无结石残留或再发。结论据结石部位及肝脏病变合理选择手术方法是有效治疗肝内胆管残留或再发结石的较好方法。
ObjectiveTo analyze the patterns of recurrent strokes among patients with initial ischemic stroke and investigate the possible predictors of recurrent ischemic stroke. MethodPatients with recurrent strokes after initial ischemic strokes hospitalized in our hospital between January 2008 and December 2012 were included in the study, and the data of general demographic information, life history, past medical history and laboratory test results were all retrospectively analyzed. The patterns of recurrent strokes in patients with initial ischemic stroke were analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke. ResultsA total of 237 patients were included in this study, including 198 patients with recurrent ischemic stroke and 39 patients with recurrent hemorrhagic stroke. Among patients with recurrent ischemic stroke, there were 137 patients with anterior circulation stroke, 52 with posterior circulation stroke and 9 with multiple infarction. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age at initial stroke onset[OR=1.968, 95%CI (1.533, 2.152), P=0.009], frequent mood swings[OR=1.345, 95%CI (1.121, 1.783), P=0.011], hyperlipidemia[OR=1.436, 95%CI (1.216, 1.732), P=0.018] and atrial fibrillation[OR=3.417, 95%CI (2.927, 4.897), P=0.005] were independent risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke. ConclusionsIschemic stroke is the most common pattern of recurrent strokes; and aging, frequent mood swings, hyperlipidemia and atrial fibrillation are possible predictors of recurrent ischemic stroke after the initial ischemic stroke.
