There are a number of potassium channels on the cerebrovascular smooth muscle cell membrane, generally they are divided to 4 categories: voltage-gated potassium channels, calcium-activated potassium channels, inward rectifier potassium channels and ATP sensitive potassium channels. They can modulate cerebrovascular tone, so as to impact on cerebral blood flow to adapt to different situations of physiological pathology. The structure and function of potassium channels change after subarachnoid hemorrhage, These changes may be associated with the occurrence and development of cerebral vasospasm. The application of potassium channel opener may relax cerebrovascular smooth muscle and attenuate cerebral vasospasm.

OBJECTIVE: Apolipoprotein (Apo) E- ε 4 is the first identified important susceptible gene of late-onset family and sporadic Alzheimer disease. Apo E E4 or ε 4 chained other genetic products probably play a certain actions in occurrence of Alzheimer disease, but their biological basis is unknown.To explain the relevant biological mechanism between ApoE and Alzheimer disease is still the key in next study.DATA SOURCE: Computer Medline database is used to search the relevant papers from January 1978 to January 1999, with the words of "develop", "ApoE" and "Alzheimer", limited in English version. Simultaneously, the relevant papers are looked up from China Journal Databasefrom January 1978 to December 2003, with the words of "ApoE, Alzheimer disease and development", limited in Chinese version.STUDY SELECTION: Preliminary examination is done to the data. Inclusive criteria: relevant papers on ApoE gene and Alzheimer disease, including the study of both animal experiment and clinical basic research.Exclusive criteria: repeated study, summarized and Meta analysis papers.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 55 relevant papers are collected, of which, 20 papers are included and 33 papers are excluded due to repeated experiment and summarized papers.DATA SYNTHESIS: Of 20 experiments, 16 experiments explain that ApoE E4 or ε 4 chained other genetic products probably play a certain actions in occurrence of Alzheimer disease and 4 researches propose that ApoE- ε 4 is the susceptible gene of Alzheimer disease.CONCLUSION: It is viewed in majority at present that ApoE genotype determination cannot substitute any clinical and imaging diagnostic method, which is probably onlya kind of assistant diagnosis to improve the specialty in clinical diagnosis. Beingthe susceptible gene of Alzheimer disease, ApoE- ε 4 is the important discovery in its research no doubt, but,many relevant questions are still at experimental and hypothesis stages. In the future, the great consideration should be still drawn on ApoE genotype determination of Alzheimer disease.

Objective:To develop a succinct and effective social support questionnaire for Chinese Farmers.Methods:Based on the studies of Vender Poel Mart et al and combined with the interview data of 53 farmers,a pro-questionnaire was developed;An item analysis was conducted with a sample of 800 farmers of Zhejiang province;CFA was used to test another sample of 807 farmers from Zhejiang and other provinces.Reliability and validity were also tested.Results:Then,9-item questionnaire was formed;EFA indicated that farmers' social support consisted of four factors,namely:instrumental support,company support,emotional support and the utilization degree of social support,which explained 79.23% of total variance;CFA showed the 4-factor model was well fitted;The Cronbaeh's ? of the questionnaire was 0.72 and the split-half coefficient was 0.64;The correlations between 4 factors were 0.10-0.30,and all factor-total correlations were over 0.50.Conclusion:The structure,reliability and validity of Chinese Farmers' Social Support Questionnaire meets the need of psychometrics.

Objective: To explore the influence of social support on Chinese farmers’ career choice consideration. Methods: Based on depth interviews and the pre-test on 419 farmers, a questionnaire of self-efficacy, choice consideration and social support related to occupations representing Holland's six RIASEC career types was developed. With a formal sample of 628 farmers, and by the structural equation modeling, the hypothetic models were constructed and tested. Results: Across most of the career types, there were significant paths between positive support and self-efficacy, self-efficacy and choice consideration, negative support and choice consideration; the goodness of fit of the final models were perfect. Self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between positive support and choice consideration. Conclusion: The influence of social support on farmers' career consideration is ambilateral. Positive support has fully positive effect on choice consideration via self-efficacy, whereas negative support has direct negative effect on it.

Objectives To establish a sensitive and special method for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu) using PCR microplate hybridization (PCR MPH). Methods A primer of ureasea gene was labeled by biotin. The amplification product was captured on streptavidin coated microplates, then products were quantified by hybridization with a digoxigenin labeled internal oligonucleotide probe. After revelation with an anti digoxigenin alkaline phosphatase coupled antibody(anti DIG AP), the amount was determined by optical reading. At the same time, PCR MPH was compared with Bio Merieux Mycosplasma IST. Results A method of PCR MPH for detecting Uu DNA was established. The morbidity among three groups for detecting 158 clinical samples was analysed. 65 were detected by PCR MPH and 56 by culture.Conclusion The results showed that this assay is rapid, sensitive, specific, and accurate, and is of value in clinical therapy.

Objective:To detect differences in results of routine biochemical indexesand serum anticoagulant heparin, explore the feasibility of plasma heparin in the emergency biochemical test in.Methods: Two hundred cases of patients in the emergency department of our hospital as the research object, peripheral venous blood samples, were installed on the ordinary drying tube and a heparin plasma in vitro, determination of 10 emergency patients in serum and plasma biochemical items using biochemical analyzer, comparative analysis of the effect of heparin plasmabiochemical test results, and to compare the two groups report time.Results: The difference of serum group and Mg2+ group, Cl-, plasma Ca2+, Cr, BUN, UA, ALT, GLU and other data is not obvious, no statistical significance, The plasma concentration of K+ group was significantly lower than serum group, serum concentration of Na+ was higher than group difference was significant, with statistical significance(t=8.167,t=4.361;P<0.05). Plasma group reported significantly less than the serum group(t=22.94,P<0.05).Conclusion: heparin sodium does not dissolve in the blood, with a strong ability for anticoagulation, emergency biochemical test can avoid the effect of blood coagulation test results, and shorten the time for patients toreport, to win the precious time, attention is needed to correct potassium ionconcentration difference test.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on post-stroke belching. Method Ninety-six patients with post-stroke belching were randomized into a control group and a treatment group by random number table, 48 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional Western medication, while the treatment group was by acupuncture in addition to the medication given to the control group. The blood Cl﹣ and Ca2﹢ contents, as well as the symptoms score and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared before and after treatment. Result After intervention, the blood Cl﹣ and Ca2﹢ contents increased and the symptoms score decreased to different extent in both groups; except for the blood Ca2﹢ content, there were significant differences in comparing all the parameters between the two groups after intervention (P<0.05); there was a significant difference in comparing the occurrence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P<0.05), and there were less adverse reactions in the treatment group. Conclusion Acupuncture can effectively control the post-stroke belching and reduce the happening of adverse reactions.

Objective To discuss incidence and related risk factors of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) after acute subcortical infarction (SI).Methods One hundred and eighty-two patients with acute SI were divided into two groups:VCI group (81 cases) and no-VCI group ( 101 cases) according to VCI diagnostic standard.Sex proportion,age,culture degree between two groups were compared,and correlation was analyzed between the quantity of risk factors and the incidence of VCI.Results The incidence of VCI after acute SI was 44.5％(81/182).According to age stratification,the incidence of VCI in the patients of 56-65 years was 35.4％ (23/65),in the patients of 66-75 years was 45.3％ (48/106),and in the patients of 76-85 years was 90.9％ (10/11 ).The age in VCI group was significantly higher than that in no-VCI group [(69.93 ±6.91) years vs. (67.62 ±5.56) years,P =0.014],and culture degree was significantly lower than that in no-VCI group (P =0.028).The sex proportion between two groups had no significant difference (P =0.876).The more accompanying risk factors,the higher incidence of VCI.Conclusions Along with the increase of age,the incidence of VCI after acute SI is higher.The more accompanying risk factors,the higher incidence of VCI.
