Objective To explore the clinical effect of escitalopram combined with xingnaojing in post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods Seventy-four cases with PSD were divided into treatment group (38 cases) and control group (36 cases) by random digits table,control group was given escitalopram,treatment group was given escitalopram and xingnaojing.Hamilton depression scale (HAMD),mental state examination (MMSE),memory quotient (MQ) and activities of daily life (ADL) score,clinical curative effect and adverse reaction were compared between 2 groups.Results The HAMD,MMSE,MQ,ADL score after treatment in 2 groups were significantly better than those before treatment [control group:(14.26 ± 2.61)scores vs.(29.73 ± 5.17) scores,(23.26 ± 3.75) scores vs.(21.24 ± 3.38) scores,(86.53 ± 6.49) scores vs.(82.35 ± 5.42) scores,(61.37 ± 3.72) scores vs.(45.32 ±4.48) scores;treatment group:(10.31 ± 2.08)scores vs.(29.57 ± 6.09) scores,(27.83 ± 4.31) scores vs.(21.63 ± 3.82) scores,(95.63 ± 6.41) scores vs.(82.30 ± 7.48) scores,(69.15 ± 6.39) scores vs.(45.27 ± 4.28) scores,P ＜ 0.05].The HAMD,MMSE,MQ,ADL score after treatment in treatment group were significantly better than those in control group (P ＜0.05).The total effective rate in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group [97.4％(37/38) vs.86.1％(31/36),P ＜ 0.05].There was no significant difference in rate of adverse reaction between 2 groups (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Escitalopram combined with xingnaojing in PSD is effective and safe,and worth further clinical application promotion.

Heme is a key cofactor in aerobic life, both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Because of the high reactivity of ferrous protoporphyrin IX, the reactions of heme in cells are often carried out through heme-protein complexes. Traditionally studies of heme-binding proteins have been approached on a case by case basis, thus there is a limited global view of the distribution of heme-binding proteins in different cells or tissues. The procedure described here is aimed at profiling heme-binding proteins in mouse tissues sequentially by 1) purification of heme-binding proteins by heme-agarose, an affinity chromatographic resin; 2) isolation of heme-binding proteins by SDS-PAGE or two-dimensional electrophoresis; 3) identification of heme-binding proteins by mass spectrometry. In five mouse tissues, over 600 protein spots were visualized on 2-DE gel stained by Commassie blue and 154 proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF, in which most proteins belong to heme related. This methodology makes it possible to globally characterize the heme-binding proteins in a biological system.
