Objective:To probe the therapeutic effects of Butylphthalide Injection in the elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and its influence in cerebral hemodynamics and cerebral vascular reserve (CVR),and to clarify the pharmacological action mechanism of butylphthalide in treatment of ACI.Methods:A total of 100 cases of elderly patients with ACI were selected as the subjects and divided into observation group and control group according to the serial number on admission.Fifty cases were included in each group.The patients in control group were treated with the conventional treatment, while the patients in observation group were treated with Butylphthalide Injection on the basis of the conventional treatment.The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, the brain hemodynamics indexes of the peak velocity (Vp), the mean velocity (Vm) and the differences of the velocity (DVp, DVm) as well as pulsatility index (PI), CVR of bilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA)of the patients in two groups were observed and compared.The therapeutic effects of the patients in two groups were evaluated and compared.Results:The NIHSS score of the patients in observation group after treatment was significantly lower than that in control group (t=15.420, P<0.05).The therapeutic effects and the clinical efficiency of the patients in observation group were significantly better than those in control group (U=2.225, χ2=5.005, P<0.05).The Vp and Vm of the patients in observation group after treatment were significantly higher than those in control group(t=10.819,t=7.259, P<0.05)and the DVp and DVm were significantly lower than those in control group (t=16.438,t=19.055, P<0.05).The CVR of the patients in observation group after treatment was significantly higher than that in control group(t=6.884, P<0.05)and the PI was significantly lower than that in control group (t=4.979, P<0.05).Conclusion:Butylphthalide Injection can effectively correct the abnormality of brain hemodynamics in the ACI patients, enhance the ability of body in maintaining the stability of cerebral vascular perfusion, improve the neurological symptoms in the patients with ACI, and improve the therapeutic effects.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of reformed subhibernation therapy on status epilepticus in patients with severe viral encephalitis.Methods 96 children with severe viral encephalitis complicated by status epilepticus were randomly divied into control group and experimental group.Control group: routine treatment was given that includes anticonvulsivus,ice compress and conventional therapy.The anticonvulsivus was applied in five drugs: the same doses of wintermin and phenergan mixed up,10% chlorpromazine hydrochloride,luminal,valii,the drugs were delivered when convulsion occurred otherwise not.Experimental group: in addition to routine treatment reformed subhibernation therapy was given.The anticonvulsivus drug's was delivered in return each 4-6 h according to the drugs half life.And anticonvulsivus drugs were applied for 2 d then gotten off.The clinical manifestation,auxiliary examination and therapeutic efficacy of patients in two groups were observed.Results All of 96 cases were analyzed.The lotal effective rate in experimental group is higher than that in control group(?2=5.872,P

Objective:To discuss the protective effect of gingerone on the hippocampal neuron HT22 cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R),and to clarify the related mechanism.Methods:The HT22 cells were cultured,and the OGD/R cell injury model was established by setting the gradient of OGD/R time.The HT22 cells were divided into control group,OGD/R group,OGD/R+ 1 μmol·L-1 gingerone group,OGD/R + 10 μmol·L-1 gingerone group,OGD/R+100 μmol·L-1 gingerone group,and OGD/R+0.2%dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)group.The viability of the cells in various groups was detected by CCK-8 assay;the survival rates of the cells in various groups were calculated to determine the optimal drug concentration of gingerone.The cells were divided into control,OGD/R group,OGD/R+ gingerone,and OGD/R+gingerone+nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf2)inhibitor(ML385)groups.The cells in OGD/R + gingerone group were treated with gingerone for 4 h before OGD treatment for 8 h followed by reoxygenation for 8 h,and the cells in OGD/R+gingerone+ ML385 group were treated with 10 μmol·L-1 ML385 for 6 h before gingerone treatment.The viability of the cells in various groups was detected by CCK-8 assay;the expression levels of Nrf2,heme oxygenase-1(HO-1),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),and Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax)proteins in the cells in various groups were detected by Western blotting method;the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA)in the cell culture supernatant in various groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method.Results:Compared with control group,the survival rate of the HT22 cells was below 50%after treated with OGD for 8 h and reoxygenation for 8 h,so the HT22 cell OGD/R model was established by treated with OGD for 8 h and reoxygenation for 8 h.Compared with OGD/R group,the survival rates of the cells in OGD/R+different doses of gingerone groups were increased to various extents,and the survival rate of the cells in OGD/R+ 100 μmol·L-1 gingerone group was significantly increased(P<0.01);so 100 μmol·L-1 gingerone was used for the subsequent experiment.Compared with control group,the viability of the cells in OGD/R group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1,and Bax proteins in the cells were significantly increased(P<0.01),while the expression level of Bcl-2 protein in the cells was significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the SOD activity in the cell culture supernatant was significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the level of MDA was significantly increased(P<0.01);compared with OGD/R group,the viability of the cells in OGD/R + gingerone group was significantly increased(P<0.01),and the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1,and Bcl-2 proteins in the cells were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the expression level of Bax protein in the cells was decreased(P<0.05),the SOD activity in the cell culture supernatant was significantly increased(P<0.01),and the level of MDA was significantly decreased(P<0.01);compared with OGD/R + gingerone group,the viability of the cells in OGD/R + gingerone + ML385 group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1,and Bcl-2 proteins were significantly decreased(P<0.01),while the expression level of Bax protein in the cells was significantly increased(P<0.01),the SOD activity in the cell culture supernatant was significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the level of MDA was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Gingerone alleviates the oxidative stress damage,and thereby plays an inhibiory effect on the apoptosis of the HT22 neurons by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway after OGD/R.
