Depression is a common complication after stroke.It is often associated with disability and increased mortality.This article reviews the pathophysiology mechanisms of poststroke depression.

84 Cases were treated in the period Aug. 1989- Aug. 1994 with self-formulated Qilu Decoction with a total effective rate of 88. 10%. The difference as compared with that of western drug Propafenone was significant (P

Objective To observe the effect of Yun-Pi Prescription in different dose on small intestinal function of splenic asthenia rats, so as to explore mechanisms of Yun-pi Prescription in treatment of children apositia. Methods Experimental rats were randomly divided in to six groups:the control group, the model group, the positive control group (Xiao shi Jian er Syrup group), Yun-Pi Prescription in high, middle and low dose group. Measure the changes of body weight and food intake, observe excretory rate of D-xylose of rats. Results Yun-Pi Prescription could increase body weight and food intake, improve excretory rate of D-xylose in splenic asthenia rats. Conclusion Yun-Pi Prescription could improve the small intestinal absorptive function of splenic asthenia rats with dose-effect relationship.

To investigate the effects of preoperative intravascular embolization on treatment of intracranial giant arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), 27 patients with intracranial giant AVMs were successfully treated from August, 1997 to April 1998 every patient was treated with preoperative intravascular embolization. Compared with single surgical resection, it was found that surgical resection after intravenous embolization can greatly reduce the intraoperative hemorrhage, diminish postoperative mortality and morbidity, and prevent normal perfusion pressure breakthrough (NPPB) significantly. The present study suggested that combination of surgical resection and intravascular embolization was an effect way in the treatment of giant cerebral AVMs.

Objective To investigate effects of early administration of high-dose rosuvastatin(40 mg) on coronary microvascular function and short-term outcome in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods Ninety-four consequent AMI patients treated with primary PCI were divided into rosuvastatin group (50 patients) and control group (44 group). The infarct-related artery flow of epicardium was classified in compliance with the TIMI criteria. Myocardial and microvascular perfusion was assessed using the TMPG. The incidence of the MACE and the cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of rosuvastatin was respectively recorded in 30 d follow-up period. Results Either patients in the rosuvastatin group or in the control group showed better TMPG immediately after PCI (P<0.05), compared with that before treatment. However, the post-PCI TMPG of the rosuvastatin group was obviously much better than that of control group (P<0.05). Compared with that in control group, the 30-day composite MACE rate was lower in rosuvastatin group and in the TMPG 3 patients of rosuvastatin group:12.0%(6/50) vs. 34.1%(15/44), P<0.05;11.1%(3/27) vs. 42.9%(6/14). There was no cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in two groups. Conclusions Early administration of high-dose rosuvastatin (40 mg) can improve coronary microvascular function and short-term outcome in patients treated with primary PCI for AMI, and it is efficient and safety.

Objective To research the degree of sensory disturbance(about algaesthesis and thermesthesia) in patients with cerebral infarction(CI),diabetes mellitus(DM) and CI combined DM(CD).Methods The threshold values of rhigosis,heat sensation,cryalgesia and thermalgesia were detected by quantitative sensory testing(QST) in the patients with CI(CI group),DM(DM group),CD(CD group).Each group had 30 cases.The results were compared with normal control group(NC group).Results Compared with NC group,acral thermic sense and cryalgesia in CI group and CD group were declined obviously(all P

Objective To conclude partial traumatic hemipelvectomy score and assess its value in partial traumatic hemipelvectomy treatment.Methods Data of the managements of 14 partial traumatic hemipelvectomy patients between January 2003 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.10 of these patients were males and 4 females,with an average age of 31 (range,21-55).11 patients were brought directly to the hospital emergency department,and 3 patients were transferred from other hospitals.According to Tile classification system,all pelvic fractures were type C fracture:nine with type C 1,three with type C2 and two with type C3.Partial traumatic hemipelvectomy score was concluded according to soft tissue injury severity,the distance between hemi-pelvic and body axis,injury degree of iliac vessel and nerve.All these factors were further classified into four grades (range,1-4) on the basis of injury severity.Based on clinic outcomes and our experiences,hemipelvectomy should be performed at the early stage when patients had scores more than 12;if the score was between 8 and 12,reassessment should be done according to practical situation and hemipelvectomy was recommended;if the score was between 4 and 8,limb salvage was strongly recommended;if the score was below 4,limb salvage should be done.Results All 14 patients were assessed by partial traumatic hemipelvectomy.The average score was 11 (range,9-14).12 of them were scored at the range of 9-12.2 of them had scores more than 12.3 patients died during the initial resuscitation stage.7 patients underwent completion of the hindquarter amputation after control of hemorrhage and all the patients were successfully survived.Limb preservation was attempted in 4 patients:3 of them died eventually because of infection.1 patient underwent hip disarticulation in emergency operation,but this patient eventually required hindquarter amputation for severe infection.Conclusion Partial traumatic hemipelvectomy score could be a rapid and accurate tool in initial assessment of partial traumatic hemipelvectomy.After the control of hemorrhage,early hemipelvectomy could lower the death rate of this kind of patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the noxious stimulation factor on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) distribution in dog spinal cord during propofol anesthesia.Methods Sixteen healthy mongrel dogs of both sexes,aged 12-18 months,weighing 10-12 kg,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =8 each):noxious stimulation group (S group) and control group (C group).Anesthesia was induced with propofol 7 mg/kg.The animals were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation.Right femoral artery was cannulated for mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse rate monitoring.Anesthesia was maintained with propofol infusion at a constant rate of 70 mg· kg-1 · h-1.5 ％ formalin 300 μl was subcutaneously injected into the central region of tails in group S,while the equal volume of normal saline was injected instead of formalin in group C.MAP and pulse rate were recorded before injection of formalin or normal saline (T1) and after injection of formalin or normal saline (T2).The dogs were scarified by decapitation at 50 min of continuous propofol infusion and cervical 2-3 segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of GABA level in different regions of the spinal cord (frontal horn,posterior horn,intermediate zone,frontal funiculus,posterior funiculus and lateral funiculus) by HPLC.Results MAP and pulse rate were significantly higher at T2 than at T1 in S group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in GABA level among the different regions of the spinal cord in C group (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with C group,GABA level in the frontal horn and posterior horn was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the other regions of the spinal cord in S group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The noxious stimulation factor can induce an increase in GABA level in the frontal horn and posterior horn of dog spinal cord during propofol anesthesia.

Acute traumatic central cord syndrome ( ATCCS) is the most common incomplete cervical spinal cord injury .Its di-agnosis mainly depends on the mechanism of injury , physical signs and imaging examination .The main treatment method is conserva-tion or surgery.Here we reviews the progress of its pathogenesis , pathophysiological changes , and surgical treatment advances .

Neuroblastoma(NB),the common extracranial solid tumor of childhood,is thought to derive from neural crest cells.In disialoganglioside (GD)2 is highly expressed on NB,whereas GD2 expression is weak and restricted to the central nervous system,peripheral pain fibers and skin melanocytes.Therefore,GD2 is an ideal antigen target for immunotherapy of NB.The research progress on GD2 as target for immunotherapy of NB was reviewed.
