Methods: A case of HC-NH was reported and reviewed in terms of the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment. Results: Hemichorea associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia is a rare complication of diabetes mellitus, which is commonly seen in elderly women with poorly-controlled diabetes. The condition is characterized by non-ketotic hyperglycemia, unilateral involuntary choreiform movements, and contralateral basal ganglia hyper-intensity by T1-weighted MR imaging or high density on CT scans. Blood glucose control is the basal treatment, in combination with dopamine receptor antagonists and benzodiazepine sedative, in controlling hemichorea. Conclusion: In clinical practice, the possibility of unilateral chorea should be considered for diabetic patients with poor blood glucose control.23:T547,Object: Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is an adhesive protein involved in inflammatory responses and endothelial dysfunction. ICAM-1 expression is upregulated in cerebrovascular tissue affected by stroke. We investigated whether serum soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) levels are associated with cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT).Methods: 148 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled. Serum sICAM-1 levels were measured and compared between patients and healthy controls. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the relationship between serum sICAM-1 levels and the HT risk.Results: Serum sICAM-1 levels were significantly higher in ischemic stroke patients compared with healthy controls (p < .001), and higher in patients with CMBs (n = 81) compared with patients without CMBs (n = 67) (p < .001). Patients with high sICAM-1 levels (≥250.5 ng/mL) were more likely to have hypertension, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke, and CMBs compared with patients with low sICAM-1 levels. In stroke patients with CMBs, higher serum sICAM-1 levels were independently associated with increased HT risk.Conclusion: Serum sICAM-1 levels are associated with presence of CMBs and increased risk of HT in ischemic stroke patients.
