Compartmentalization of Immune Responses during Staphylococcus aureus Cranial Bone Flap Infection.
Abstract Decompressive craniectomy is often required after head trauma, stroke, or cranial bleeding to control subsequent brain swelling and prevent death. The infection rate after cranial bone flap replacement ranges from 0.8% to 15%, with an alarming frequency caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is problematic because of its recalcitrance to antibiotic therapy. Herein we report the establishment of a novel mouse model of S. aureus cranial bone flap infection that mimics several aspects of human disease. Bacteria colonized bone flaps for up to 4 months after infection, as revealed by scan...

The value of the use of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide among acute ischemic stroke patients in a Chinese emergency department
In this study, 142 of 238 acute ischemic stroke patients met the study criteria [mean age 70.84±11.48 years, 74 (52.11%) female]. Of the 142 patients, 35.92% were diagnosed with LAA at discharge, 25.35% with CE, 27.46% with SAO, 11.27% with SOE or SUE. Age, previous cardiac disease, atrial fibrillation, the length of hospital stays, SSS score on admission≤25 and mRS≥3 or death at discharge were all significantly higher in the CE patients compared to other subtypes (p
