The occurrence of stroke in patients and a variety of underlying diseases during the hospitalization are associated with the treatment, they often result in the aggravation of disease, poor prognosis, and medical disputes. Theoretically, the timeliness of diagnosis and treatment of in-hospital strokes are superior to those outside hospitals, but it still has the widespread delay in the actual diagnosis and treatment. This article reviews the possible causes and mechanisms of in-hospital stroke in order to raise awareness of prevention of in-hospital stroke, prevent and eliminate the potential risks of in-hospital stroke.

Previous studies have agreed that the levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE)and S100B protein have an important value for the severity of cerebral infarction and prognosis estimation. This article reviews the relationship between the serological changes of NSE and S100B and cerebral infarction, infarct volume, severity of neurological deficits, infarct location,and prognosis, as well as the advances in research on the evaluation of therapeutic drugs.

Objective To investigate folic acid and vitamin B12 on the plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and neurological function in young and middle-aged acute ischemic stroke patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy).Methods Young and middle-aged acute ischemic stroke patients with HHcy were enrolled.They were randomly divided into either an intervention group or a control group.The patients with cerebral infarction in both groups were treated with conventional treatment.At the same time,the patients in the intervention group were treated with folic acid 5 mg and vitamin B12 25 μg,3 times a day for 4 weeks.Those in the control group were given placebo.The next day after admission and thereafter,the plasma Hcy levels were determined once every week.At the time of admission and after 4-week treatment,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to evaluate neurological deficits.Results A total of 78young and middle-aged acute lschemic stroke patients with HHcy were enrolled (n =39 in each group).The baseline plasma Hcy levels and the NIHSS scores in all patients had significant linear correlation (r =0.717;P＜0.01).Four weeks after treatment,the plasma Hcy levels of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group (15.07 ± 2.01μmol/L vs.21.29 ± 2.48 μmol/L; t =4.539; P ＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the NIHSS scores (4.87 ± 2.17 vs.5.13 ± 1.67; t =0.585,P =0.560).Conclusions The baseline plasma Hcy level was positively correlated with the severity of stroke.Folic acid in combination with vitamin B12 could effectively decrease the plasma Hey level in young and middle-aged acute ischemic stroke patients with HHcy,but it had no significant effect on the improvement of neurological function.

Uncoupling protein, a protein that participates in proton transport in the inner mitochondrial membrane, has some physiologic functions such as regulating thermogenesis, maintaining body temperature, regulating energy balance and adenosine triphosphate production, controlling reactive oxygen species production, and restraining apoptosis. It takes part in the pathophysiological processes in a number of diseases. The article reviews the uncoupling protein gene, distribution and regulation, the roles in peripheral tissues and central nervous system, and its possible relationship with cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,etiology and risk factors of the inpatients with ischemic stroke in the Department of Cardiology.Methods The medical records of the inpatients with ischemic stroke and the inpatients in a control group were collected retrospectively.The demographics,vascular risk factors,clinical features,and other related factors were compared in both groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors for in-hospital ischemic stroke in the Department of Cardiology.Results A total of 2 789 inpatients in departments of cardiology were enrolled,and 26 of them (0.93％) had in-hospital stroke.One hundred thirty inpatients from 2 763 patients without in-hospital stroke were used randomly as control cases.The proportions of the inpatients of hypertension (73.08％ vs.50.77％ ; x2=4.348,P=0.037),atrial fibrillation (50.00％ vs.15.38％; x2=15.56,P=0.000),infection (30.77％ vs.7.69％ ; x2 =11.304,P =0.003),smoking (46.15％ vs.21.54％ ; x2 =6.886,P =0.009),alcohol (26.92％ vs.11.54％ ;x2 ＝ 4.233,P =0.040),previous stroke history (19.23％ vs.4.61％ ;x2 =7.062,P =0.008),and taking anti-hypertensive drugs (42.31％ vs.21.54％ ;x2 =4.985,P =0.026),as well as systolic blood pressure (143.43 ± 18.59 mm Hgvs.129.52 ± 23.52 mm Hg; t =3.209,P=0.003; 1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),diastolic blood pressure (88.77± 11.35 mm Hg vs.77.55± 14.60 mmHg; t=2.421,P =0.020),and homocysteine levels (19.27 ± 11.08 μnol/L vs.15.30 ±5.25 μmol/L; t =2.814,P =0.006) in the stroke group were significantly higher than those in the control group in the Department of Cardiology.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation (odds ratio [OR] 3.310,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.207-9.076; P =0.020),infection (OR 3.270,95％ CI 1.024-10.438; P =0.045),systolic blood pressure (OR 1.023,95％ Cl 1.002-1.045; P =0.031),and homocysteine level (OR 1.089,95％ CI 1.009-1.175; P =0.029) were the independent risk factors for in-hospital ischemic stroke in the Department of Cardiology.Conclusions Atrial fibrillation,infection,systolic blood pressure,and high homocysteine levels are the independent risk factor for in-hospital ischemic stroke in the Department of Cardiology.Active intervention and control these risk factors may have great significance for reducing its risk.

Objective To observe the formation process with 3.0 T MRI dynamically, and to discuss the feasibility of molecular imaging studies on restenosis. Methods The models were built with balloon (2.0 F) injury which were separated into restenosis group (n=48) and control group (n=48). Zero h, 24 h, 1 week, 2 week, 4 week and 8 week after surgery, 3.0 T MRI scanning (T1WI, T2WI, PDWI) was performed respectively, the vascular of injured side were obtained for HE staining to observe the pathological changes, to analyze the measurement of neointimal area (IA), intimal proliferation index (IHI), lumen area (LA) and stenosis rates, correlation between HE staining measurements and MR images were analyzed. Two weeks after the injury, the restenosis model of rats (n=8) and control rats (n=8) were injected ultrasmall superparamagntiec iron oxide (USPIO,1 mmol/kg) by tail vein, respectively. 3.0 T MRI scanning (T2WI) was underwent at 0 h and 24 h after injection, the change of the arterial wall T2 signal was quantitatively analyzed and the relative signal intensity (rSI) and relative change rate (rSIC) of the vessel wall were calculated. Reference to MRI images, corresponding line segments were taken for Perl's blue staining and immunohistochemically staining of macrophages. One-way ANOVA, Pearson and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results In the early?term (0 h,24 h), the wall and surrounding high signal organization boundary was not clear, there was no obvious morphological change of the lumen. In the medium?term (1, 2 week), signal of the injured wall increased with different extents, wall thickening and luminal narrowing was progressive, the inwall was coarse. In the later?term (4, 8 week) wall signal got slightly lower, wall thickness, lumen change were not significant, the wall area and LA were significantly associated with pathologic measurement result (r value were 0.978, 0.732; P<0.05). In the control group, signal of wall and lumen morphological change were not significant among the different time points. IA were (0.131 ± 0.011) mm2, (0.588 ± 0.017) mm2, (1.061 ± 0.033) mm2, (1.192 ± 0.034) mm2;1, 2, 4, 8 week after injury, respectively, IHI were 0.235 ± 0.022, 0.578 ± 0.013, 0.715 ± 0.011, 0.737 ± 0.009, respectively, stenosis rates were (5.586 ± 0.987)%, (25.395 ± 1.112)%, (40.019 ± 1.298)%, (41.890 ± 0.951)%, respectively, difference between groups were statistically (P<0.05). In the control group, there was no significant differences of medium area, luminal stenosis and neointimal formation respectively at different time points (P>0.05). rSI was 1.582±0.051 after the injection of USPIO, then 24 h after injection of USPIO, T2 signal of the vessel wall was reduced significantly, rSI was 1.260 ± 0.088, rSIC was (-20.249 ± 6.489) % with statistical difference (t value was 8.924,P<0.05). But there was no statistical difference in control rats (P>0.05). Perl's staining combined with immunohistochemical staining confirmed that the iron particles were taken by the macrophage's phagocytosis just in the neointimal. Conclusion 3.0 T MRI is capable of demonstrating the vessel wall and lumen changes dynamically, and the measurements are correlated with pathological results. USPIO can be consumed by macrophages in the neointimal, resulting in T2 signal of the vessel wall decreased significantly.
