Objective: To investigate the clinical and pathological features of patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) related cerebral hemorrhage (C A AH). Methods : The clinical data of 5 patients with C A AH, including clinical manifestations, neuroimaging and topographical anatomy features were studied. Results: It was found that the onset and clinical manifestations of CAAH resembled hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. CAAH could coexist with hypertension and hypertension might aggravate the pathological changes of CAA. Typical CAAH located in cortical and subcortical areas, but cerebral hemorrhage located in the basal ganglia and thalamus could not ruled out CAAH without the pathological confirmation of CAA. The neuroimages of some specific types of cerebral hemorrhage, such as insular cistern hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage, could manifest as hypertonial putaminal hemorrhage, but their outcomes were distinctly different. Conclusion: The causes of cerebral hemorrhage include hypertension and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and CAA may have an important clinical value.

Objective To simply the method of how to obtain cultures rich in astrocytes from SD rat cerebral cortex which could be utilized in vitro experiments.Methods The neonatal rat cerebral cortex was made into suspension by mechanical dissociation,and then reduced other cells by differential velocity adherent technique,shaking in orbital shaker and passage of cultured cells.After purification,the cultured cells were identified by double immunofluorescence staining and SABC.Results We successfully obtain cultures rich in astrocytes and the proportion of astrocytes were more than 95%.Conclusion The method described above was reliable in obtaining the high purity astrocytes from neonatal rat cerebral cortex and double immunofluorescence staining was more vivid and direct.

Objective:To study the effect of Mg 2+ on glutamate and energy metabolites during focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in rats. Methods: Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups(n=6):magnesium sulfate(100 mg/kg, i.p.) group and saline group.Cerebral ischemia was produced by occlusion of middle cerebral artery with a nylon thread for 60 min and followed by 60 min reperfusion.Microdialysis probes were stereotaxically implanted into the cortex; dialysates were collected every 15 min to determine the concentrations of glucose, lactic acid and glutamate. Results: There was a dynamic decrease of glucose and an increase of lactic acid and glutamate during ischemia and reperfusion in saline group.Glucose decreased slightly in magnesium sulfate group during ischemia and recovered to normal rapidly during reperfusion. The lactic acid levels in magnesium sulfate group were lower than that in saline group during early stage of ischemia(0-15 min) and reperfusion.There were significant attenuation in the elevation of glutamate during ischemia and reperfusion when magnesium sulfate was administered and recovered to normal after 30 min of reperfusion. Conclusion: The preservation of cellular energy metabolism,the decrease of lactacidosis and attenuation of glutamate level during ischemia and reperfusion may contribute to the neuroprotective effects of Mg 2+ .

Objective To explore the clinical and molecular biological characteristics of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3(SCA3).Methods Clinical manifestation and brain MRI data of 12 patients with SCA in two families were analyged.The polymorphic CAG repeated time in the encode region of SCA3,SCA1 and SCA7 genes were compared in 15 family numbers without abnormal presentations,and 12 healthy persons of controls.Results Among 27 numbers of 4 generations in the two families had 12 patients,male and female were affected,average onset was 32 years old.The main clinic features included gait ataxia,ambiguity in speech and action clumsiness.Brain MRI showed remarkable atrophy on cerebellum and brain stem.In the two families,the CAG lengths of SCA1 and SCA7 were normal in all numbers.The repeated times of CAG of SCA3 were 11~39 in two control groups,65 ~87 in 10 cases,diagnosed as SCA3 patients.The child Ⅳ2 of family 1 was 8 years old,the repeated times of CAG of SCA3 were repeats 21 and 64 times,repectively.He might be a asymptomatic patient,because he was too young to onset the disease.Conclusions SCA3 is an autosomal dominant genetic disease.The clinical manifestations are ataxia and dysarthria.The detection of repeated times CAG can provide an effective way for the genetic and asymptomatic diagnosis.

Objective To analyse the mutation of pathogenic gene TSC2 in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Methods Using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP), all the 41 exons of TSC2 gene were analyzed in 4 TSC cases(include 1 suspect case) from one family and 1 sporadic TSC case ,and compared with the kin familial controls and kinless normal controls. Results Missense mutation on exon33 1346S→P (4037T→C) of TSC2 was found in 4 familial cases, and no mutation of TSC2 gene was found in the sporadic case and all the health controls. Conclusion Missense mutation on exon33 (1346S→P,4037T→C)is a new discovery in TSC2 gene of patients with TSC.
