Stepper Aerobic Training on Fitness, Disability, Inflammation and Thrombosis in Stroke Patients...
Ischemic StrokeStroke rehabilitation of hemiplegics primarily lies in motor control and training of activities of daily life. Whole body aerobics is much less emphasized. Nonetheless, cardiopulmonary fitness of even ambulatory hemiparetics is only half compared with healthy people, which is prone to deconditioning. The present study aims to understand the efficacy of aerobic training in addition to the usual neuro-rehabilitation, including aerobic fitness, daily activities dependency, anti-inflammation and anti-thrombosis. This is a prospective and randomized design. The subjects will be recruited from the hospitalized patients in the rehabilitation ward of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkuo. 120 hemiplegic patients due to stroke will be enrolled and randomized into two groups: combined training (CT) and usual rehabilitation. Participants in CT will receive aerobics at moderate intensity in addition to the usual rehabilitation. The program has 35 minutes/session, 5 sessions/week and 4-5 weeks in total. A constant-power semi-recumbent stepper will be employed as the training modality. It uses bilateral reciprocal movement of the arm coupled with the opposite leg, which allows for a push and pull motion. Additional 20 healthy participants will also be recruited as the healthy control. Assessment before and after training includes: (I) graded cardiopulmonary exercise test using constant-load stepper. (II) Functional Independence Measure. (III) coagulation system assessment, using Thrombin generation assay and Ceveron alpha (Technoclone GmbH, Vienna, Austria) : Von Willebrand factor, tissue plasminogen activator, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, D-dimer, factor VIII, etc. [the 1st year]; (IV) monocyte-platelet aggregation and its subtypes, using flow cytometry [the 2nd year]. ( V) systemic inflammation, platelet activation and prognostic biomarker:C-reactive protein, soluble P-selectin, asymmetric dimethylarginine, Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2, etc [the 3rd year]. Statistical analysis will use ANOVA with post-hoc, two-way repeated measure ANOVA, etc. The investigation will start after approval and end in 2019, July. We hope this investigation will establish a more comprehensive rehabilitation program for clinical application.

Rivaroxaban With Diosmin in Long-term Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein ThrombosisPostthrombotic SyndromeThe randomized clinical study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of standard anticoagulation with rivaroxaban in combination with diosmin compared to the isolated use of standard rivaroxaban for prolonged therapy of acute femoro-popliteal deep vein thrombosis reflected the speed of deep vein recanalization and incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome.
Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban in Acute Non-neoplastic Portal Vein Thrombosis in HCV
Portal Vein ThrombosisPortal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with liver cirrhosis may be due to neoplastic growth or non-neoplastic causes. Treating PVT with anticoagulation in liver cirrhosis is difficult to be established but may be of great benefit in acute symptomatic PVT. The ultimate goal is complete recanalization of the portal vein without inducing major bleeding, abnormal liver function tests or increased mortality.

Acute Pancreatitis and Thrombosis (PATHRO)
Acute Necrotizing PancreatitisPortosplenomesenteric Venous ThrombosisSevere acute pancreatitis (AP) is a pathology with high morbidity and mortality. Portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis is a well-known local complication of AP with a variable incidence, which can reach up to 50% in case of severe AP. However, there is no specific recommendation regarding the management of Portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis. By analogy to all venous thrombosis, the European Society of Gastroenterology recommends curative anticoagulation. However, the efficacy of curative anticoagulation has never been evaluated by prospective studies. In addition, bleeding complications during AP occur in approximately 10% of patients and are associated with a poor prognosis. The investigators wish to conduct an observational multi-center study with epidemiologic aims, including all patients admitted for AP and with a diagnosis of portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic management of these patients, the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant treatment for the treatment of Portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis, and their outcomes.
Staging and Prognosis of Deep Venous Thrombosis of Lower Extremities
Venous ThrombosisDeep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a venous reflux disorder caused by abnormal coagulation of blood in the deep vein, which usually occurs in the lower extremities. After thrombosis, venous valve function is often destroyed, causing lower limb swelling, ulcers and other congestive diseases, affecting the quality of life of patients; thrombus shedding is also easy to cause pulmonary embolism, serious cases can lead to sudden death. Therefore, the accurate diagnosis and curative effect evaluation of DVT are of great significance to the prognosis of patients. At present, the treatment of DVT includes systematic thrombolysis and catheter contact thrombolysis, among which oral drug thrombolysis has certain advantages in clinical application. However, in the process of thrombosis, the composition of thrombus is different in different periods, thus, defining the staging of thrombus plays an important role in the decision-making of drug treatment. In view of the high resolution of magnetic resonance imaging of soft tissue, thrombus can be directly imaged. Therefore, this project will take the staging diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis as the starting point. Through the development of magnetic resonance imaging, this paper tries to solve the problem of evaluating the therapeutic effect of deep venous thrombosis in clinic.

adaptatiVe Endovascular Strategy to the CloT MRI in Large Intracranial Vessel Occlusion
Intracranial ThrombosisIn the VECTOR trial, the aim is to analyze, in case of SVS+ occlusions, a first line Embotrap II added to CA combined strategy compare to CA alone strategy. Many practitioners are convinced that a first line strategy with CA alone is easy, safe, rapid and efficient. Maybe, after two, three, four ... passes and with the secondary help of a combined strategy, a high rate of eTICI 2b/3 could be reached with a CA first line strategy. But this could go with a higher number of passes, a waste of time and a suboptimal angiographic results (eTICI 2b) due to distal emboli, especially in case of friable, non-well organized, red blood cell rich (RBC) i.e. SVS + thrombi (25-28). This could, be related to worst clinical outcome at 3 months. VECTOR asks a relevant question: Do the invetigators have to add the use of an Embotrap II or III to the CA, from the first passes, in case of SVS+ clots?
