BACKGROUND: Ginkgetin has been widely acknowledged as having multiple pharmaceutical values in domestic and abroad. In many western countries, ginaton is imported in large amount. Domestic production of ginkgetin is great, however, seldom applied and there is no ginaton agent for injection.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of the increased contents of total flavonoid glycoside and quercetin glycoside of ginkgetin injection on memory function of mice, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in myocardial tissues and hemorrheological indexes of rabbits with ischemia-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Randomized control animal experiment.SETTING: Hebei Medical College of Employees.MATERIALS: Ninety Kunming mice (3-4 months old), weight (25±1) g and thirty-two Japanese rabbits (3-4 months old) were selected. Self-made high-purity ginkgetin injection [5 mL containing 17.5 mg ginaton, of which there were 8.7 mg ginkgo flavonoid glycoside (49.8%) and 4.61% lactone];Ginkgetin injection made in German (Jinnaduo): Manufactured by Schwabe Germany [5 mL containing 17.5 mg ginaton, of which there were 4.2 mg ginkgo flavonoid glycoside (24%)].METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the Central Department of Experimental Animal, Hebei Medical College of Employees from September to November 2002. ①Ninety mice were randomly divided into 6 groups:1, 2 mL/kg self-made ginkgetin injection group, 1, 2 mL/kg German ginkgetin injection group, model group and control group with 15 mice in each group. Mice in the model group and control group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline, mice in each group were intraperitoneally injected respectively with testing medicine for 10 continuous days,One hour after the 10th day of administration, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 2 mL/kg scopolamine hydrobromide and dysmnesy models were duplicated. Ten minutes after that, mice were put in the step-down instrument for 36V-voltage-stimulus after accommodation. Measurements were re-performed respectively at 5 minutes and 24 hours after training.Latency and times of electric shock within 5 minutes were recorded.②Thirty-two Japanese rabbits were selected and randomly divided into normal control group, German ginkgetin injection group, 1 mL/kg, 0.5 mL/kg self-made ginkgetin injection group with 8 rabbits in each group. Medicineswere continuously injected into aural veins. Three days after administration, blood was collected to detect the hemorheological indexes. ③Thirtytwo rabbits were randomized into 4 groups: 1 mL/kg, 2 mL/kg self-made ginkgetin injection group, 2 mL/kg German ginkgetin injection group and normal saline group with 8 ones in each group. Rabbit models with ischemia-reperfusion injury in myocardial tissues were established, rabbits were ligated for 30 minutes and then unclamped to get ischemic reperfusion injury in myocardial tissues, testing drugs were injected via carotid artery at the moment of reperfusion according to different groups. Before reperfusion and 30, 60 minutes after reperfusion, blood was drawn from the arteria femoralis, activity of SOD in plasma was measured. Animals were executed to obtain myocardial tissues so as to measure SOD activity.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Latency and times of shock within 5 minutes in the experiment were recorded. ②Hemorheological indexes and determination of SOD activity in myocardial tissues.RESULTS: All experimental animals were involved in the analysis of results and no one died. ①Test for memory: Latency and times of errors in step down test in the injection group were better than those in the control group, and differences were significant (P < 0.01 or 0.05). Times of errors within 5 minutes in 1 mL/kg self-made ginkgetin irjection group was less than that in the German ginkgetin injection group and the differences were obvious.②Hemorheological indexes: Whole-blood viscosity low shear value,rigid index of red cells and gathering index of red cells etc. in injection groups decreased. ③SOD activity: Compared with control group, that was significantly increased in 1, 2 mL/kg self-made ginkgetin injection group and were in a dose-dependent manner. Those were obviously increased in the 1 mL/kg German ginkgetin injection group. Increase in SOD activity of ischemic myocardial tissues in the 1 mL/kg self-made ginkgetin injection group was more significant than that in the 2 mL/kg German ginkgetin injection group.CONCLUSION: Both self-made and German ginkgetin injections can enhance the ability of memory; While at the basis of same dose, self-made high-purity ginkgetin injection is superior to German ginkgetin injection.

Objective:To investigate the influences of minimally invasive hematoma removal assisted by stereotaxis technique and conservative treatment in clinical prognoses of patients with small/medium intracerebral hematoma in the basal ganglia.Methods:Sixty-four patients with spontaneous basal ganglia cerebral hemorrhage, admitted to our hospital from March 2020 to March 2021, were enrolled in our study; these patients were randomly divided into surgical group (accepted minimally invasive hematoma removal assisted by stereotaxis technique, n=33) and conservative treatment group ( n=31). The baseline general data and 6 months follow-up data of patients from the 2 groups were compared. The Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) scores, modified Barthel index (MBI), modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores and complications were compared 7 d, 1 month and 6 months after surgery. Results:There were no significant differences in gender, age, and amount of bleeding between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). On the 7 th d of surgery, there were no significant differences in GOS scores, MBI, and mRS scores between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). One month after surgery, there were statistically significant differences in GOS scores, MBI, and mRS scores between the 2 groups ( P<0.05); the good prognosis rate in the surgical group was 78.79% (26/33), and that in the conservative treatment group was 25.81%(8/31), with significant difference ( P<0.05). Six months after surgery, there were significant differences in GOS scores, MBI, and mRS scores between the 2 groups ( P<0.05); the good prognosis rate in the surgical group was 95.7% (29/33), and that in the conservative treatment group was 32.3% (10/31), with significant difference ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the surgical group and conservative treatment group was 6.06% and 29.03%, respectively, with significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive hematoma removal assisted by stereotaxis technique is more conducive to the repair of nerve function in patients with moderate to small cerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia than conservative treatment.

OBJECTIVE:
To detect pathogenic variation in a pedigree affected with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 31 and explore its molecular pathogenesis.
METHODS:
Customized Roche NimbleGen capture probes were used to capture all exons of the target genes in relation with hereditary spastic paraplegia. The DNA samples were also assayed with fluorescent quantitative PCR as well as chromosomal microarray analysis using CytoScan HD chip.
RESULTS:
The proband and her father and grandfather were found to carry a deletion for position 85 992 693-86 842 693 on chromosome 2, which spanned approximately 900 kb and encompassed the REEP1 gene. The latter has been specifically associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 31. The same deletion was not found in her mother who is phenotypically normal.
CONCLUSION
The deletional variation of the REEP1 gene probably underlies the disease in this pedigree.
