Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 1993;0(02):-
Objective: To compare the role in recognizing mild cognitive impairment of visual logical memory to auditory logical memory. Methods: 41 normal aged controls and 41 patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI) were required to finish immediate recall and delay recall by visual and auditory logical memory test. Results: There was significant difference in immediate recall and delay recall between the two groups who received visual and auditory logical memory test, and the LM of visual logical memory test was superior to that of auditory one. Auditory logical memory-II could recognize more MCI individuals than visual logical memory-II. The accuracy of recognizing MCI by visual logical memory test was 88% when we set the standard score at 5 points, and 93% for auditory logical memory test with the standard score at 3 points. Conclusion: Delay recall of auditory logical memory test is the most sensitive one among all the logical memory tests for recognizing MCI.

Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve neurological outcomes after global ischaemia/hypoxia in patients who have had cardiac arrest. Therapeutic hypothermia is one of the most extensively studied and influential therapeutic strategies of acute ischemic stroke. Previous studies of therapeutic hypothermia mainly focused on whole-body cooling. However, delayed induction and systemic complications have limited the clinical application of whole-body cooling. As a selective cerebral hypothermia, the selective intra-arterial brain hypothermia treatment has the characteristics of rapid and even induction of hypothermia, and less affecting the core body temperature. Therefore, it has become a promising treatment modality. This article reviews the application of selective intra-arterial brain hypothermia in acute ischemic stroke and its advantages and limitations in order to provide reference for further experimental studies and future clinical trials.

BACKGROUND:Osteogenesis is closely integrated with angiogenesis in bone formation and repair process, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) is considered to be the most important core transcription factor promoting angiogenesis gene regulation, which may promote the formation of blood vessels at hypoxia portion, and thus contribute to bone formation.
OBJECTIVE:To construct the Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (wild type) and Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (point mutant type) lentiviral eukaryotic expression vectors and to detect their impact on the osteogenic gene expression of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:The Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (wild type) and Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (point mutant type) lentiviral eukaryotic expression vectors were constructed according to the wild type human HIF-1αgene sequence and the determined restriction sites of human HIF-1αpoint mutant sequence. Rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were transfected with the prepared Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (wild type) and Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (point mutant type) virus solution.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Immunofluorescence microscopy observations indicated that the cells of Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (wild type) group and Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (point mutant type) group showed no obvious fluorescence on transfected 7 days, and two groups of cells showed a more obvious green fluorescent after transfection 14 days. Quantitative PCR analysis results showed that there were obvious HIF-1αand bonemorphogenetic protein 2 gene expressions on days 7 after transfection and the two genes stil showed highly expression levels after transfection 14 days. The two lentiviral eukaryotic expression vectors of Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (wild type) and Lenti-HIF-1α-IRES-EGFP (point mutant type) could be constructed according to the wild type human HIF-1αgene sequence and the determined restriction sites of human HIF-1αpoint mutant sequence;HIF-1αgene can promote the osteogenic gene expression of lentivirus-transfected rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
