Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of folic acid on transient ischemic attack(TIA)patients with homocysteinaemia (Hcy ). Methods 129 patients of primary TIA with Hcy were divided into two groups randomly. The observation group ( n = 65 )was administered with conventional therapy and folic acid, and the control group ( n=64 ) was only given conventional therapy. The variances of the plasma HCA level three months later were compared, and remission rate of TIA and complete stroke incidence one year later were analyzed between two groups. Results The Hcy incidence rate of TIA patients was up to 41.4%. Three months later, the plasma HCA level of observation group was lower than control group( ( 14.27 ± 6. 13 ) μmol/L vs (24.99 ± 6.87 )μmol/L, t=2.799, P＜0. 01 ) ,and much lower than that of the control group post-treatment ( ( 14. 27 ±6. 13)μmol/L vs (24.68 ± 6.89) μmol/L, t = 2.735, P ＜ 0.01 ). One year later, the complete stroke incidence of TIA in observation group was lower than that of the control group(9.8% vs 25.0%, P＜0.05 ) ,and complete remission rate was higher than the latter(73.8% vs 50.0%, P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion Folic acid can decrease the plasma HCA level of TIA patients with Hcy efficiently,and improve the prognosis of such patients.

Objective To explore the effect of low-dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia on expres?sion of glutamine receptor subunit 1 (GluR1) and 2 (GluR2) in the hippocampus of depressed rats after electroconvulsive therapy. Methods Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200~250 g, were used in this study. Mental depres?sion was induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress. Thirty-two depressed rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8): metal depression group (group A), ECT group (group B), ECT+propofol group (group C) and ECT+propofol+ket?amine group (group D). Eight normal rats served as control group. Control group received no treatment. Group A received intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 8 mL/kg plus sham ECT. Group B, C and D received ECT once a day for 7 con?secutive days following intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 8 mL/kg, propofol 80 mg/kg and propofol 80 mg/kg +ketamine 10mg/kg, respectively. Sucrose preference test and Morris water maze were performed to assess depressed be?havior and learning and memory function, respectively. RT-PCR and Western-blot assay were used to detect the expres?sion of GluR1 , GluR2 and their mRNA expression. Results After ECT, compared with control group and group A, changes of SPP in group B, C and D were obvious. The change of SPP in group D was much higher than all other groups (P<0.05). Rats in group B showed prolonged escape latency and shortened space exploration time, which were significantly different from all other groups (P<0.05). Rats in group D showed the most shortened escape latency and prolonged space exploration time (P<0.05). The expression of GluR1 was significantly increased in group B, C and D compared with group A (P<0.05). The expression of GluR2 and mRNA was significantly decreased in group B and C (P<0.05). The difference in GluR2 and mRNA expression was not significant among group A, D and control group (P>0.05). Conclusion Low-dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia exert effective antidepressive action and improve learning and memory function of depressed rats after electroconvulsive therapy. The beneficial effects of the ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia may be related to up-regulation expression of GluR1 and GluR2 in hippocampus.
