OBJECTIVE: Although the therapeutic method of stroke is progressed very quickly in recent years, the incidence of its post-depression is up to 40%. Poststroke depression many affect neural function recovery, for which, to understand it is advantageous of improving living quality of stroke patients.DATA SOURCE: The literatures relevant to poststroke depression were looked up from China medical nuclear journals and studies at home and abroad in recent 5 years on www.google.com, Medline. The Retrieval words: stroke, depression, incidence, relevant factors.STUDY SELECTION: Totally 42 relevant papers were selected on experimental and clinical studies on poststroke depression. The original literatures of non-randomized study were excluded and those of nonblind study were not excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: Of 42 papers, 10 papers were deleted because of repetition of various degrees and 32 papers were sorted out in category and 10 of those were selected as reference.DATA SYNTHESIS: The incidence of poststroke depression is about 40%, resulting from the co-factors of society, psychology and biology.It is viewed generally that the high risk phase of depression is in a couple of year after stroke and the duration of poststroke depression is various. The severity of neural functional deficits in recovery phase is affected by poststroke depression. Moderate and severe depression may delay the recovery of neural function and poststroke depression can also result in poor recovery of daily living capacity of patients, affect patients' cognition and increase the incidence of dementia. Concerning to clinical observation, a remarkable progression has been achieved on treatment of poststroke depression.CONCLUSION: The incidence of poststroke depression is very high,associated with multiple factors. Poststroke depression influences harmfully on neural function, cognition and daily living capacity. Active intervention and treatment provide a certain action on reducing the incidence of poststroke depression.

Objective To explore the effect of bilateral scalp acupuncture combined with synchronous motorrehabilitation training on acute cerebral infarction patients with movement dysfunction. Methods Eighty acutecerebral infarction patients were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group. Both groups weregiven routing medicine for neurology and body acupuncture. Additionally, the treatment group received bilateralscalp acupuncture combined with synchronous motor rehabilitation training, and the control group receivedaffected-side scalp acupuncture combined with synchronous motor rehabilitation training. The acupuncture andtraining were carried out once a day. One course of treatment consisted of six continuous treatment days and onerest day, and the treatment lasted 4 courses. Before and after treatment, the scores of Fugl-Meyer assessment( FMA) for motor function, the modified Barthel index (MBI) scores and the neurological deficit scores(NDS) were observed for the evaluation of therapeutic effect. Results After treatment, FMA scores and MBIscores were increased, and NDS were decreased in both groups compared with those before treatment, thedifferences being significant (P<0.05) . On treatment day 14, the differences of the observation indexes wereinsignificant between the two groups (P>0.05) . On treatment day 28, FMA scores and NDS of the treatmentgroup were superior to those of the control group ( P <0.05) , but the differences of MBI scores wereinsignificant between the two groups ( P >0.05). Conclusion Bilateral scalp acupuncture combined withsynchronous motor rehabilitation training exerts remarkable effect on improving motor function of acute cerebralinfarction patients with movement dysfunction.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Prof. Gao Yu-chun’s needling Yangming method for facial palsy, as well as to inherit and further develop the academic idea.
Methods:A total of 70 cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=35) and a control group (n=35). Cases in the treatment group were treated with needling Yangming method, whereas cases in the control group were treated with traditional acupuncture method. The treatment was done once a day in both groups (6 times a week) for a total of 6 weeks. Then the therapeutic efficacies were evaluated before and after treatment using the House-Brackmann (H-B) scale and scores of signs and symptoms.
Results:After 2 weeks of treatment, patients in the treatment group obtained a better H-B score and recovery rate than those in the control group (P<0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the H-B score, scores of signs and symptoms and recovery rate in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.05). After 6 weeks of treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in the above aspects (P>0.05).
Conclusion:Needling Yangming method can obtain a faster effect, a higher early-stage recovery rate and shorter course of treatment than traditional acupuncture method.

AIM: To investigate the pathological changes of motoneuron's function and morphology after root avulsion in order to study the neurobiology mechanism of motoneuron death. METHODS: Twenty female adult Sprague-Dawley rats, 200-300 g were used. The C 5-C 8, T 1 roots of the right brachial plexus were avulsed. All rats were killed 3 d, 5 d or 1 week after avulsion. One group of the C 5-C 8 spinal cords freeze sections (40 ?m thick) were collected for the NADPH-d histochemistry with neural red counterstained. Another group of the C 5-C 8 spinal cords freeze sections (40 ?m thick) were collected for the c-Jun immunocytochemistry stain. The paraffin sections (5 ?m thick) were collected for HE stain. The amount of NOS-positive and survival motoneurons was counted. The percentage of NOS expression and motoneuron survive were quantitatively analyzed considering the amount of contra lateral motoneurons as one hundred percent. RESULTS: The NOS expression rate was 0.74%?0.59% (3 d), 24.84%?6.73%(5 d), or 51.16%?8.67% (1 week), respectively. The survive rate was 93.00%?4.32% (3 d), 93.67%?5.27% (5 d), or 89.83%?2.65% (1 week), respectively. The motoneuron expressed c-Jun as early as 3 days after avulsion. The expression declined afterward until one week after avulsion. There was no significant change on the size of motoneuron. The nuclear membrane was still clear but some nuclei were not located in the middle of the cell body. There were some nucleoli with the chromatin condensation. CONCLUSION: The motoneuron NOS expression and cell death were increased within one week after spinal root avulsion. meanwhile, the c-jun expression was decreased. The NO/NOS may induce the motoneuron death by inhibiting the regenerating reactions of motoneuron after root avulsion injury.
