Objective To observe the changes of SS activity and regulation of GH surrounding cerebral hemorrhage and the hypothalamus,and explore the disorder of SS GH to the affect of local neuronal internal circumstances in stress.Methods With intracerebral hemorrhage model in rats, SS GH content in the hypothalamus and cerebral hemorrhage periphery was determined using the radioimmunoassay.Results The SS content in the hypothalamus far from hematoma and the area surrounding cerebral hematoma elevated obviously, and reached its peak along with the hematoma content,meanwhile the GH content of relevant area trended to upregulate remarkably too.Conclusion While the SS content in the hypothalamus and the area surrounding cerebral hematoma elevated, the GH content of relevant area trended to rise remarkably too, the phenomenon indicated the stress disorder of SS GH axis during the highest peak of hematoma.

The application of cerebrovascular intervention brings the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular disease into a brand-new domain. Many neurological physicians have become physicians of cerebrovascular intervention by training. In the big teaching hospitals carrying out cerebrovascular intervention, advanced physicians are the hard strength in the lot of cerebrovascular intervention. The training aiming at cerebrovascular intervention and comprehensive abilities affects both the training results and the therapeutic results of cerebrovascular intervention. Therefore, it is an important issue to explore how to consummate and standard the training methods of advanced physicians studying cerebrovascular intervention.

Objective To investigate the association between aortic calcification and risk of vertebral fracture in Chinese postmenopausal women.Methods This study recruited 561 postmenopausal women aged 60 or older who were prospectively followed for 3 years.Based on the ACS,the patients were divided into aortic calcification group (n =236) and non-aortic calcification group (n =325).Extent of aortic calcification and incidence of vertebral fracture were quantified on the baseline lateral radiographs of lumbar spine.Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry was utilized to evaluate the bone mineral density (BMD).Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the associations between aortic calcification and risk of vertebral fracture.Results In aortic calcification group incidence of vertebral fracture was significantly higher than that in non-aortic calcification group (P < 0.01).Moreover vertebral fracture presented an increased incidence while the ACS was higher.After the adjustment of age,body mass index,BMD,current smoking,current drinking,hypertension,diabetes,total cholesterol,myocardial infarction,stroke and 25-hydroxy vitamin D,aortic calcification with ACS > 6(HR =3.03,95%CI 1.42-6.24),BMD (HR =2.82,95% CI 1.75-5.68),age (HR =1.96,95% CI 1.38-4.52),history of two or more falls (HR =1.45,95% CI 1.24-2.79) and adiponectin (HR =1.07,95% CI 1.22-2.31) were associated with increased risk of vertebral fracture.Conclusion Severe aortic calcification is closely associated with vertebral fracture for postmenopausal women.
