Complications that follow ischemic stroke are common,frequency ranging from 28% to 95%.It may either directly lead to death or prevent optimal recovery.54% of deaths after ischemic stroke are attributed to medical complications.Most complications occur during the first week,and stroke severity is the most important risk factor.The common serious medical complications are chest or urinary tract infection,deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary embolism,cardiac events,gastrointestinal bleeding,hyperglycemia,pressure sores.Falls,shoulder pain and depression are also common complications.Most of medical complications are preventable or treatable to some extent if recognized,so preventive strategies and appropriate treatment should be employed as early as possible.Prevention,early recognition,and management complications could improve short-term and long-term prognoses after ischemic stroke.

Brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) play a key role in tumorigenesis and tumor development.There are a group of special markers in the surface of brain tumor stem cells,which can sorts stem cells,precursor cells and cancer stem cells.In recent years,the studies of CD133,Nestin,high-mobility group A1,A2B5 have made some breakthroughs.

The principle and structure of the near-IR laser spectrum noninvasive blood glucose detection system are introduced in the paper. To meet the detection demand of the little DC current signal in the system,the current measure methods are analyzed. The hardware and software structure are discussed in the end.

Objective To optimize the extracting conditions of Anchuan Keli. Method Six crude drugs, including Ephedra herb and so on, with the ephedrina hydrochloridum content as the index, extracting times, water volume and extracting time were screened by orthogonal test. Two crude drugs, including Sophora flavescens and so on, with matrine and ammothamnine content as the indexes, alcohol concentration, extracting times, alcohol volume and extracting time were screened by orthogonal test. Result The optimal extracting condition of six crude drugs including Ephedra herb was heat reflux and extracting 2 times (the first time 854 mL, the second time 732 mL), 2 hours for each time using water. The optimal extracting condition of two crude drugs include Sophora flavescens was heat reflux and extracting 2 times (the first time 288 mL, the second time 240 mL), 2 hours for each time using 80% alcohol. Conclusion The extracting technology selected is reasonable, practical and controllable.

Objective To investigate the effect of Yiqi Huoxue prescriptions on prevention of neointima hyperplasia after carotid artery vascular injury in rats.Methods Ninty male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:the model group,the aspirin group,the low-dose Yiqi Huoxue group,the mid-dose Yiqi Huoxue group and the high-dose Yiqi Huoxue group.All of the rats were fed with hypercholesterolemic diet for 30 days,then the 2.0F balloon catheter injury was perfomed through the right femoral artery into the left common carotid artery of rats,the balloon was inflated and deflated 3 times.The rats was given drugs from 1 d before injury and to 5 d,14 d,28 d after injury.Around 6 rats from each group were euthanized by exsanguination at appropriate time point.The injuried left common carotid arteries were carefully removed and harvested for HE staining.Results The neointima hyperplasia was faint at 5 d after the operation.Morphological analysis demonstrated that there were markedly differences in the area of neointima hyperplasia at 14 d or 28 d,the average thickness of neointima hyperplasia,the surplus area of lumen/the total area of lumen between the high-dose Yiqi Huoxue group and the model group(P

Objective:To analyze the lymphocyte activation from patients with different activities of multiple sclerosis (MS) and its clinical signifiance. Methods: The positive percentage of CD69 and HLA-DR were determined on peripheral blood (PB) or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytes by flow cytometry from 28 patients with relapsing-remitting MS (relapses n - 20, remission n = 8) , 12 patients with relapse MS and 11 patients with relapse MS after glucocorticoid treatment. ResultS:The percentage of HLA-DR+ and CD3+ /HLA-DR+ on PB lymphocytes in relapses MS group were higher than in remission MS group and controls. The percentage of CD3+ /HLA-DR+ on PB lymphocytes in remission MS group were higher than in controls. The percentage of CD69+ , HLA-DR+ and CD3+ /HLA-DR+ were higher in CSF than in PB of patients with relapse MS. There was no significant correlation between the levels of CD69+ , HLA-DR+ , CDS+ /HLA-DR+ and the time of onset of clinical relapse, duration, clinical disability scale score(EDSS) . In patients with relapse MS, there was significant positive correlation between CD69+ expression on CSF lymphocytes and blood brain barrier damage, intravenous glucocorticoid treatment caused a significant changes in the positive percentage of HLA-DR on PB lymphocytes. Conclusion:The findings support that lymphocyte activation involvement of MS pathogenesis. Lymphocyte activation may be as a marker of disease activity in MS.

Objective To observe the change of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) an d glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in neonatal rats' cerebral cortex with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods The 7 day- old SD rats were subjected to the ligation of right carotid artery, then were pu t into a hypoxic box to establish a HIBD model. The immunohistochemical method w as used to detect the expression of NSE and GFAP in rats' cerebral cortex. Results ① The NSE decreased in damaged cerebral cortex in HIBD 24 h group, after 7 days it gradually increased but was still lower than that of the controls. ② The expression of GFAP was limited and scarce in control and it did not change in HIBD 24 h group, while in HIBD 7 d group GFAP expression was increased and spread widely in the damaged cerebral cortex. Conclu sion ① The NSE decreases in damaged cerebral cortex in early stage of neonatal rat HIBD, suggesting that NSE is a specific marker for neuron damage . ② The GFAP increases in damaged cerebral cortex in the recovery stage of neon atal rat HIBD, suggesting that GFAP participates the repair of lesion region.
