The half-activation voltage and the slope factor of the activationcurves of Na+ channel were also changed by the laser's exposure. The former changed from (- 42.091 ?1.537) mVto (54.971 ?1.846) mV (n= 8, P

Objective To analyze the relationship between diabetics and the onset, clinical outcomes and prognosis of brainstem infarction, and to evaluate the impact of diabetes on brainstem infarction. Method Compare 172 cases of acute brainstem infarction in patients with or without diabetes.Analyze the associated risk factors of patients with brain-stem infarction in diabetics by multi-variate logistic regression analysis. Compare the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin scale (mRS) Score, pathogenetic condition and the outcome of the two groups in different times. Results The systolic blood pressure ( SBP ), TG, LDL-C, apolipoprotein B ( Apo B ), glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), fibrinogen(Fb), fasting blood glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin( HbA1c)in diabetic group were higher than those in non-diabetic group , which was statistically significant ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). From multi-variate logistic regression analysis, γ-GT, Apo B and FPG were the risk predictors of diabetes with brainstem infarction( OR = 1. 017, 4. 667 and 3. 173, respectively), while HDL-C was protective( OR =0. 288). HbA1c was a risk predictor of severity for acute brainstem infarction( OR = 1. 299), while Apo A was beneficial( OR =0. 212). Compared with brain-stem infarction in non-diabetic group, NIHSS score and intensive care therapy of diabetic groups on the admission had no statistically significance, while the NIHSS score on discharge and the outcome at 6 months' of follow-up were statistically significant. Conclusions Diabetes is closely associated with brainstem infarction. Brainstem infarction with diabetes cause more rapid progression, poorer prognosis, higher rates of mortality as well as disability and higher recurrence rate of cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the effects of unaggregated amyloid ? protein(A?25～35) on transient outward potassium channel(IA) in Rat Hippocampal CA3 Pyramidal Neurons.Methods Patch-clamp technique with whole cell recording was used.Results Unaggregated A?25～35 inhibited IA in neonatal rat hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons and displayed a time-,concentration- and voltage-dependent manner;the dynamic characteristics of IA were influenced:shifted the steady-state activation and inactivation curves to left significantly.Conclusion These results suggest that the inhibition of unaggregated A?25-35 on transient outward potassium channel in acutely isolated hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons may be an important mechanism of its toxicity,which participates in pathological changes of AD.

Objective To investigate the correlation between diabetes and brainstem infarction. Methods The diagnozed patients with acute cerebral infarction were recruited in the study. Firstly, they were divided into brainstem infarction group and non-brainstem infarction group, and then they were redivided into brainstem infarction with diabetes, brainstem infarction without diabetes, non-brainstem infarction with diabetes and non-brainstem infarction without diabetes groups according to whether they had diabetes or not. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid atherosclerosis were detected and identified with Doppler ultrasound; brain stem infarction and its location were identified with diffusion-weighted imaging; basilar artery atherosclerosis was detected with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the different risk factors impacting brainstem infarction. Neurological deficit was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)scores. Results A total of 286 patients with acute cerebral infarction were recruited: brain stem infarction in 63, and 34 of them with diabetes; non-brain stem infarction in 223, and 77 of them with diabetes. The proportions of diabetes (54. 0％ vs. 34. 5%, x2 = 7. 816, P = 0. 005),previous cerebral infarction (38. 1％ vs. 24. 2％ ,x2 =4. 771, P =0. 029), basilar artery atherosclerosis (73.0％ vs. 57. 4％,x2 =5. 028, P =0. 025), as wall as the levels of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) (7. 30 ± 2. 42％ vs. 6. 46 ± 1.82％, t = - 2. 531, P = 0. 011 ) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) (0. 97 ± 0. 33 mmol/L vs. 0. 90 ± 0. 34 mmol/L, t =-2. 180, P = 0. 029) in the brainstem infarction group were significantly higher than those in the non-brainstem infarction group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes (odds ratio [ OR] 2. 150, 95％confidence interval [ CI] 1. 214-3. 808; P =0. 009) and previous cerebral infarction (OR 1. 835, 95％ CI 1.004-3. 352, P = 0. 048) were the independent risk factors for brainstem infarction. There were significant differences in the levels of HbA1c (P ＜ 0. 001 ), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (P ＜0. 001), ApoB (P =0. 007) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P =0. 018) as well as the proportion of basilar artery atherosclerosis (P = 0. 001 ) among the brainstem infarction with diabetes, without diabetes, non-brainstem infarction with diabetes and without diabetes groups. The levels of HbA1c (8. 81 ±2. 36％), FBG (8. 23 ±3. 12 mmol/L andApoB (1.04 ± 0. 41 mmol/L) as well as the proportion of basilar artery atherosclerosis (85. 3％ )were the highest in the brainstem infarction with diabetes group. Conclusions Diabetes is closely associated with brainstem infarction. Diabetes is more likely to result in pontine infarction.

Objective To investigate the virus-carrying rate of non-polio enteroviruses ( NPEV) in patients with acute flaccid paralysis ( AFP) in Yunnan province of China in 2015 and to analyze the genetic characteristics of enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains. Methods A total of 213 cases under 15 years old with AFP were reported by Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC) of Yunnan Province of China. Virus isolation was conducted for all samples and the serotypes of isolated NPEV strains were identified by VP1 se-quencing. The isolation rates of NPEV in the past consecutive 5 years were analyzed by SPSS22. 0 software. Phylogenetic trees of NPEV and EV71 strains were constructed by MEGA6. 06 software based on neighbor-joining algorithm and Kimura 2-parameter substitution model and the reliability of the phylogenetic trees was determined by bootstrap analysis with 100 pseudo replicate datasets. Results Altogether, 23 NPEV strains were isolated from 213 AFP cases. Among the 23 strains, 7 strains belonged to EV-A group (2 serotypes, 6 strains of which were EV71 ) , 14 strains belonged to EV-B group ( 8 serotypes ) and the other 2 strains belonged to EV-C group. No NPEV strains of EV-D group were identified. Statistical analysis showed that no significant differences in the isolation rates were observed in the past 5 years ( P=0. 101 ) . Conclusion The isolation rate of NPEV in patients with AFP in Yunnan province in 2015 was similar to that of the previ-ous years. The EV71 strains of C4 subgenotype were the predominant strains circulating in Yunnan province.

Objective To investigate the enterovirus ( EV)-carrying status and the circulating se-rotypes in healthy children from inner and border areas of Yunnan Province in 2014 and 2015 and to analyze the genetic characteristics of echovirus 6 (ECHO6), ECHO25 and ECHO11 strains. Methods Stool sam-ples were collected from children less than 15 years old living in 6 to 7 counties of 3 inner prefectures/cities and 8 to 9 counties of border prefectures/cities. Altogether 921 samples were collected including 453 sam-ples in 2014 (213 samples in inner counties and 240 samples in border counties) and 468 samples in 2015 (195 samples in inner counties and 273 samples in border counties). Viruses were isolated from the stool samples and their serotypes were identified by gene sequencing. Results The numbers of EV strains isola-ted from the samples collected in inner counties and border counties in 2014 were 20 ( isolating rate:9.39%, 20/213) and 16 (isolating rate: 6. 67%, 16/240), respectively. The overall isolating rate for 2014 was 7. 95% (36/453). The predominant species was enterovirus B, accounting for 88. 89% of all iso-lated strains (32/36), followed by enterovirus A species (11. 11%, 4/36). No strains of enterovirus spe-cies C (including poliovirus) and D was detected in 2014. In total, 46 EV strains were isolated in 2015 with an overall isolating rate of 9. 83% (46/468), including 13 strains in inner counties (isolating rate:6. 67%, 13/195) and 33 strains in border counties (isolating rate:12. 09%, 33/273). Most of the strains were enterovirus B species, accounting for 78. 26% (36/46), followed by enterovirus C species (19. 57%, 9/46) and enterovirus A species (2. 17%, 1/46). Altogether 82 EV strains were isolated in 2014 and 2015 with an isolating rate of 8. 90% (82/921), of which 33 strains were isolated in inner counties (8. 09%, 33/408) and 49 strains were isolated in border counties (9. 55%, 49/513). Among the 82 EV strains, 9 strains were polioviruses (0. 98%, 9/921) and all of them were Sabin-like polioviruses. The rest of the strains were non-polio enterovirus (7. 93%, 73/921). Conclusion In 2014, the EV isolating rate in inner counties (9. 39%) was higher than that in border counties (6. 67%). However, the EV isolating rate in border counties (12. 09%) was higher than that in inner counties (6. 67%) in 2015. Enterovirus B was the predominant species in both 2014 and 2015. No wild type polioviruses and enterovirus D species were detec-ted. Polio-free status was maintained well in Yunnan Province.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics and risk factors of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis ischemic stroke. Methods We retrospectively collected 342 consecutive patients with first-ever ischemic stroke. Clinical data was collected including demographics, the presence of risk factors,MRI with MRA and other routine admis?sion laboratory tests. Results Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) was located most frequently in MCA (47.0%), Extracranial internal carotid artery was the most common affected artery (65.0%) among extracranial atherosclerotic steno? sis (ECAS). MetS (OR=1.586,95%CI:1.232~2.268), ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (OR=1.926,95%CI:1.051~4.288), were as?sociated with ICAS (vs ECAS), whereas hypertension (OR=3.603,95%CI:1.675~12.485), MetS (OR=2.268,95%CI:1.274~6.103), HbA1c (OR=2.015,95%CI:1.182~5.613) and ApoB/ ApoA I ratio (OR=1.948,95%CI:1.157~4.285) were related to ICAS (vs NCAS). Hypertension (OR=2.437,95%CI:1.492~3.505,P=0.005), Hcy (OR=2.437,95%CI:1.492~3.505,P=0.005) and HbA1c (OR=1.769,95%CI:1.034~3.121, P=0.005) were the independent risk factors re?lated to posterior circulation strokes (vs anterior circulation strokes ) in ICAS strokes. Conclusions The occurrence of ICAS may be more frequent than that of ECAS in ischemic stroke. Posterior circulation ICAS strokes seems to be close?ly associated with metabolic derangement.
