Objective ToobservetheeffectsofNaokangⅡ,atraditionalChinesemedicineon spatial learning and memory abilities and hippocampal neurogenesis in rats with cerebral ischemia. Methods Atotalof54SDratsweredividedinto6groupsaccordingtothedigitalrandommethod:a control,a sham operation,a model,a low-dose,a medium-dose,and a high-dose NaokangⅡ group (the low-,medium-,and high-dose groups were 5,10,and 20 times of adults (n=9 in each group). A rat model was induced by ligate the bilateral common carotid arteries permanently. The bilateral common carotid arteries were only isolated but not ligated in rats of the sham operation group. The rats in the control group were not given any treatment. After modeling,the rats in the treatment groups were treated with NaokangⅡ. The rats in the control,sham operation,and model groups were given equal volume of isotonic saline (2 ml). Morris water maze test and space search experiment were used to evaluate the learning and memory abilities in rats 9 weeks after modeling. Immunofluorescence staining and immunohistochemical methods were used to observe proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs). Western blot was used to detect the expression of autophagy related protein Beclin-1 and LC-3Ⅱ. Results (1 )The escape latencies of the model group from 1 to 5 days were 100 ± 13,98 ± 13,82 ± 14,72 ± 15,and 46 ± 7 s,respectively. They were significantly longer than those of the sham operation group and the control group (all P<0. 05). The search distances were 1239 ± 127,1011 ± 122,959 ± 123,553 ± 66,and 407 ± 29 cm,respectively. They were significantly increased as compared with those of the sham operation group and control group (all P<0. 01). Both the escape latencies and search distances of the rats in the Naokang Ⅱ low-,medium-,and high-dose groups were significantly shorter than those of the model group (P<0. 05). The escape latencies on the fifth day were 20 ± 6,19 ± 8,and 15 ± 6 s,respectively,and the search distances were 234 ± 38, 297 ± 23,and 99 ± 22 cm,respectively. Nine weeks after modeling,the quadrant search time on the original platform in the rats of the model group was 30 ± 9 s,it was significantly shorter than that of the sham operation group (P<0. 01). The quadrant search time on the original platform of the Naokang Ⅱ low-, medium-,and high-dose groups were 34 ± 6,38 ± 8,and 40 ± 10 s,respectively. They were significantly longer than those of the model group (P <0. 01). (2)Nine weeks after modeling,the results of immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry showed that the number of BrdU-positive cells and the Nestin positive cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus of the model group were higher than those of the control group and the sham operation group (P<0. 05). The number of BrdU-positive cells and Nestin positive cells of Naokang Ⅱ each dose group were significantly higher than those of the model group (P<0. 05). The expression of LC-3Ⅱand Beclin-1 in the model group was significantly higher than those in the control and sham operation groups (P<0. 01). The expression of LC-3Ⅱ in the medium- and high-dose groups was 143 ± 9 and 129 ± 9 respectively,and the expression of Beclin-1 was 139 ± 10 and 124 ± 7 respectively, andtheyweresignificantlylowerthanthemodelgroup(P<0.01).Conclusion NaokangⅡcanimprove the cognitive function in rats with cerebral ischemia,promote neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus,and inhibit autophagic cell death.

Objective:To investigate the public attitudes towards violence incidents from the perspective of in-ternet users, by the means of collecting the hospital violence incidents on the internet. Methods:Selected 7 cases of typical hospital violence and divided those comments into three categories, namely,support the medical side,support the patient side and other. The proportions of all kinds of attitudes were analyzed. Summarize the in-centives of hospital violence and analyze the attitudes of internet users from the perspective of social psychology. Results:Internet users had different attitudes to these 7 cases of hospital violence incidents. The proportion of support the medical side was from 0 . 66% to 95 . 82%, and the proportion ofsupport the patient side was from 0. 18% to 81. 25%. This was mainly due to the in-group favoritism, stereotypes, moral judgment and emotional tendencies of internet public opinion and media-induced and other factors. In internet users' view, the low profes-sional ethical quality is considered the most important incentives, and the proportion was 43. 05%. Conclusions:The tendency of the media coverage has an important influence on the attitude of internet users. Policy makers should correctly treat with the two sides of network public opinions, the hospitals should improve the ability to re-spond to public opinion, the media should regulate coverage and publicity.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing sleep disturbance and comorbid anxiety and depression after cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 216 patients with first onset of cerebral infarction were enrolled and divided into a post-stroke comorbid anxiety and depression (PSCAD) group, a pure anxiety group, a pure depression group and a non-anxiety and no-depression group. Smoking, alcohol intake, educational background, life or work pressure and exercise frequency were compared among the four groups along with ultrasound images of the carotid artery and brain blood vessels. The subjects' sleep quality was evaluated with the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).Results The conditions studied showed no significant difference among the four groups. There were significant differences among the four groups in HAMA and HAMD scores. HAMD overall scores were higher in the PSCAD group than in the other three groups. HAMA overall scores were higher in the PSCAD group than in the pure depression group or the non-anxiety and no-depression groups. The PSCAD group showed significantly higher scores on all the dimensions and in their overall scores than those in the non-anxiety and no-depression group. Subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, day-time dysfunction and the overall PSQI score were all significantly higher in the PSCAD group than in the pure anxiety group. Sleep latency, sleep duration, day-time dysfunction and the overall PSQI scores were significantly higher in the PSCAD group than in the pure depression group. Age, life or work pressure, smoking, alcohol intake were the main factors influencing sleep quality in the PSCAD group.Conclusions The sleep quality of anxious and depressed patients after cerebral infarction is worse than that of those suffering only anxiety or depression alone, especially in terms of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency and day-time dysfunction. Age, life or work pressure, smoking and alcohol intake are the main factors influencing sleep quality in such comorbid individuals after cerebral infarction.
