Objective To investigate the neurological and cerebrospinal fluid interleukin-6 effects of butylphthalide on brain hemorrhage.Methods Ninety cerebral hemorrhage patients in principle based on a random draw were equally divided into the treatment group (45 cases) and the control group (45 cases).Two groups were given basic treatment, the control group were treated with nimodipine tablets adjuvant therapy, the treatment group were treated with butylphthalide soft capsules adjuvant therapy, all patients were treated for 30 days.Results After treatment, the national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score was shown significant downward trend in the two groups((9.45±0.44) to (2.09±0.45) scores;(9.44±0.21) to (4.58±0.65) scores) and compared with pre-treatment differences were significant (t=16.983, P=0.000;t =8.112, P =0.000), and the NIHHS score in treatment group was significantly lower than in control group(P =0.000).The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score and activities of daily living (ADL) scores were shown significant upward trend in the two groups,compared with pre-treatment differences were significant(P <0.05).MMSE score(26.98±3.91) and ADL scores(34.29±6.42) scores in the treatment group were significantly lower in the control group((23.09±5.33) scores, (30.28±5.33)scores) after treatment(t =6.498, P =0.000;t =8.123, P =0.000).After treatment, the values cerebrospinal fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression in the two groups were significantly reduced (P < 0.05), while the value of cerebrospinal fluid IL-6 expression in the treatment group were significantly lower than the control group ((45.38 ± 13.02) ng/L vs (122.87± 17.42) ng/L, t =18.334, P =0.000).The adverse reactions of the two groups were mild, and were significantly improved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion Butylphthalide adjuvant treatment of cerebral hemorrhage can improve nerve function, cognitive function and activities of daily living, its safety is also better.It plays its role may related to effectively reduce the IL-6 expression.

Objective To investigate the presence of apolipoprotein A 1 (APOA1) and its function in human spermatozoa. Methods The expression assays for APOA 1 were carried out by immunofluorescence and Western blotting in human sperm cells . Set up a blank control group , rabbit polyclonal IgG group , which contain anti-APOA1 antibody 10 μg/ml, 20 μg/ml and 40 μg/ml, to treat normal semen samples and incubated at 37 ℃for 1 h, 2 h and 3 h.The progressive motility of spermatozoa was determined bya computer-assisted motion analyzer ( CASA ) , apoptosis rate by flow cytometry and ultrastructural changes by electron microscopy .Comparisons of sperm progressive motility and apoptosis rate were performed by independent sample t tests.Results The study showed APOA1 protein mainly located in the sperm head , the molecular size was 31000.A significant decline in sperm progressive motility was observed after 1,2 and 3 hours of incubation with APOA1 antibody.There was a statistically significant difference between the blank control group and the APOA 1 antibody concentration of 20 μg/ml and 40 μg/ml groups [ 1 hour after incubation , blank control group ( 68.65% ±15.70%) with 20 μg/ml group (48.45%±5.20%), 40 μg/ml group(39.25%±7.89%), t=2.442, 3.345 , both P<0.05;2 hours after incubation, blank control group(55.33%±10.12%) with 20 μg/ml group(28.68%±11.70%), 40μg/ml group(18.13% ±10.52%), t=3.445, 5.097,both P<0.05; 3 hours after incubation, blank control group(35.73%±14.08%) with 20μg/ml group(15.53%±8.42%), 40μg/ml group(9.98%± 7.08%), t=2.462, 3.268,both P<0.05].After incubation 2 hours, the percentage of apoptotic cells increased from 16.02% ±4.28% in the blank control group to 21.72% ±2.67% ( 20 μg/ml APOA1 antibody)and 28.01%±3.93%(40 μg/ml APOA1 antibody), respectively (t=3.177, 5.834, both P<0.01).Treatment with 40 μg/ml APOA1 antibody for 4 hours resulted in major morphological changes to sperm cells observed by electron microscope , including membrane distension ,vacuole formation and different periods of apoptosis cells .Conclusion APOA1 plays an important role in maintaining sperm motility and survival rate,however the mechanism needs further study .
