Objective To investigate the relationship of the serum bilirubin level with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and Chinese isch-emic stroke subclassification (CISS), stroke severity and short-term outcome of AIS patients. Methods 616 patients with AIS as well as 664 patients without stroke matched with gender and age were compared and analyzed with the non-conditional Logistic regression. The AIS pa-tients were divided based on the CISS, and their bilirubin levels were compared. The AIS patients were divided into high bilirubin group and normal bilirubin group, their scores of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as admission and discharge, and neural func-tion improvement rate were compared. Results The levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were higher in the AIS group than in the control group (P<0.01), and the TBIL was the independent risk factors of AIS (OR=1.026, 95%CI 1.012-1.041, P<0.001). There was no significant difference of the levels of TBIL, DBIL and IBIL among the patients of CISS (P>0.05). The NIHSS score was higher in the high bilirubin group than in the normal bilirubin group as admission (P<0.05), but it was not significant as discharge (P>0.05), nor the rate of neural function improvement (P>0.05). Conclusion The serum bilirubin level elevated and correlated with the severity in the AIS patients, which might be the risk of pathogenesis and AIS. The bilirubin was not various with the CISS, and might be less involved in the short-term outcome of AIS.

Objective To observe the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) at different stages of tooth germ development,and explore its mechanism and significance.Methods Immunohistochemical technique was used to examine the expressions of bFGF in the tooth germs at different stages of human fetus in 8-34 weeks,the suckling mice with 1-22 d,and the dog postnatal in 6 weeks-5 months.Results bFGF expressed in tooth germ at all stages.In human fetus,the positive reaction was observed in epithelium of tooth bud,dental plate,enamel organ,external and outer enamel.The ameloblasts,odontoblasts,epithelial root sheath and dental follicle showed strongly positive reaction in the unerupted human deciduous tooth,the tooth under the eruption of neonate external enamel,stratum intermedium cells,ameloblasts and odontoblasts showed strongly positive epithelium,dental papilla and dental follicle at bud stage and cap stage,while at bell stage cells in mice and 6 week postnatal canal tooth.The positive expressions of bFGF were observed in root of tooth,peridental ligament and the osteoblasts adjoin to peridental ligament in the dog succession of decideous teeth.Conclusion bFGF is one of critical regulator in the tooth development,which can regulate the differentiation and morphogenesis of tooth germ cells and control the eruption and succession of deciduous teeth at different stages.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke, and evaluate the severity and short-term outcome. Methods From March, 2014 to March, 2015, 238 patients with recurrent ischemic stroke and 378 patients with initial ischemic stroke matched with gender and age were enrolled. The clinical data of two groups were compared and the non-conditional Logistic regression model was made to analysis the risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score as ad-mission and discharge, and the neural function improvement rate of two groups were compared. Results The incidences of leukoarailsis (χ2=8.666), hypertension (χ2=8.189), smoking (χ2=6.973) and alcohol consumption (χ2=4.722) were higher in the recurrent group than in the pri-mary group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that leukoarailsis (OR=1.690, 95%CI:1.198~2.384, P=0.003), hypertension (OR=1.715, 95%CI:1.135~2.592, P=0.010) and smoking (OR=1.896, 95%CI:1.233~2.915, P=0.004) were the independent risk factors of recur-rent ischemic stroke. The NIHSS scores as admission and discharge were significantly higher (t=-3.645, t=-4.675, P<0.001), and the neural function improvement rate was lower (t=2.643, P<0.01) in the recurrent group than in the primary group. Conclusion Hypertension, leuko-arailsis and smoking are independent risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke. Recurrent ischemic stroke is more serious than initial isch-emic stroke, and the short-term neural function recovers more slowly.

To examine the effects of ischemia and anoxia on cell activation and cell cycle of astrocytes in vitro, the cell cycles and the proliferation of astrocytes in different time points after ischemia and anoxia were studied by flow cytometry and BrdU labeling and the expression of GFAP and cyclin D1 was detected by the fluorescence immunochemistry. After ischemia and anoxia in vitro, the astrocytes in S phase were significantly increased as compared with those in the normal group and the proliferating ability of the astrocytes was highest 6 h after the treatment as revealed by BrdU pulse labeling, but the astrocytes in S phase and proliferating ability were decreased after 6 h. At the early stages of ischemia and anoxia, the positive staining intensity of GFAP was increased, peaked at 6th h, while 12 h after the ischemia and anoxia, the positive staining intensity of GFAP became weak, and the expression of cyclin D1 was gradually increased after the ischemic and anoxic damage. It is concluded that astrocytes are activated to proliferate and enter new cycle events by ischemia and anoxia, and cyclin D1 is implicated in the proliferation and repair of astrocytes. The cell cycle events are closely associated with the proliferation and activation of astrocytes.
