BACKGROUND:In recent years,it has been shown in studies that regulation of the expression of Has1 is very important to maintain neural stem cells and regulate its differentiation during the development of embryonic nervous system.Moreover,upregulation of Hes1 expression is required for quiescent adult flbroblasts resuming proliferation.This indicates that there is a close relationship between Hes1 and some potential stem cells in adult.Therefore,the study of Hes1 expression in neural stem cells and its relationship with adult neurogenasis is put on the agenda.However,the expression of Hes1 in adult brain is still not clear.OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of Hea1 in adult mouse brain and the cell types of Has1 positive cells.METHODS:Totally 12 adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly evenly divided into two groups by using the random number table.For the first group,the mouse brain was removed directly and immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of Has1 in the adult mouse brain.For the second group,Brdu was injected intraperitoneally to every mouse with a dosage of 200 mg/kg,once a day,for 3 days.The mouse brain was removed at 4 days and then double staining was carded out to observe and analysis the cell types of Hes1 positive cells in hippocampus.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hes1 was expressed in all the observed anatomical site where neural cells exist,Brdu positive cells nearly all expressed Hea1,NeuN positive cells all expressed Has1,whereas GFAP positive cells did not express Hes1 completely.Hes1 was expressed in all neurons and neural stem cells,and glial cells did not express Hes1.

Objective To explore the relation and measures prevention between aspirin and relapsing haemorrhage after operation in cerebral haemorrhage patients. Method It' s a prospective control study. A total of 725 patients with hypertensive basal ganglia cerebral haemorrhage admitted to department of neurosurgery from January 2001 to May 2007 were enrolled. They were diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria set by the fourth national cerebrovascular disease conference in 1995. Haematoma volume was > 50 mL. All patients were treated with craniotomy. And those with respiration and circulation failure, neurologic function deficit before the onset of the disease,major organ dysfunction, haemorrhagic disease and bleeding tendency or applied medicines affecting coagulation function excepted aspirin were excluded. The patients without use of aspirin before the onset of the disease were operated as the control group(group A), and there were 389 patients in group A.The patients with use of aspirin before the onset of the disease were randomly assigned to group B and C group,and there were 168 patients in group B or group C.The patients in group C received the frozen apheresis platelets. We counted different haematoma volume of relapsing haemorrhage after operation,death rate,ADL scores grades by 6 months follow-up survey in three groups. Quantitative data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (-x ± s). The data were analyzed by using Chi-square test and Student's t test and rank sum test with SPSS 13.0 statistical package. A P value less than 0.05 indicated statisticals significance. Results Haematoma volume of relapsing haemorrhage was (40.59 + 20. 061 )mL, (53.21 ± 21.260) mL, (40.68 ± 19.517) mL in groups A, B, C,respectively. There was significant difference between group A and group B ( P < 0.01 ), between group B and group C ( P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between group A and group C(P > 0.05). ADL scores grades at 6-month follow-up was (67.04 ± 26. 176), (54.47 ± 29.403 ), (68.21 ± 25.254) in groups A, B, C, respectively. There was more significant difference between group A and group B, in ADL scores grades and the death rate between group B and group C (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between group A and group C (P > 0.05). Conclusions Aspirin can increase the occurrence rate of haemorrhage after operation, disablement and death in cerebral haemorrhage patients, but frozen apheresis platelets can reduce the occurrence rate.
