Stroke is one of the most important causes of disability throughout the world.Epide- miological and clinical studies have demonstrated that statins significantly decrease the incidence of ischemic stroke.In addition to lipid-lowering effect,statins may also have a number of other acting mechanisms that are not dependent on reducing cholesterol levels.Moreover,statins inhibit cerebral vasospasm caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage.For most of the individuals,the safety and tolerability of statins are well.

Objective To study the validity of furosemide test for predicting the hematoma enlargement in pa- tients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Four hundred fifty-one patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were diagnosed using CT after oneset of the disease and 24 h reexamined 24 h after.The incidence of enlarged hematoma was evaluated by comparison the baseline and 24 h CT scanning.Furosemide(20 mg iv)was ad- ministered and blood pressure was measured 30 min after furosemide.Results The decreasing level of MAP after furosemide was significantly inversely related with incidence rate of hematoma enlargement{ r=-0.94,t=58.4,P 10 mmHg as the cut-off point,with the rate of hematoma enlargement as being 6.4 %,MAP decreased≤10 mmHg was associated with increases in prevalence of hematome to 33.2 %(?~2=51.82, P

Valeriana jatamansi (syn. V. wallichii), a traditional Chinese medicine recorded in Chinese Pharmacopeia (1977 and 2010 edition), has been used for treatment of a variety of conditions including sleep problems, obesity, nervous disorders, epilepsy, insanity, snake poisoning, eye trouble, and skin diseases. Also, it was used as an important substitute for the European V. officinalis, whose root preparation, popularly known as valerian, has been employed as a mild sedative for a long time. In recent years, much attention has been draw to the iridoids, one of the major bioactive constituents of V. jatamansi, leading to the discovery of a series of new iridoids with anti-tumor and neuroprotective activities. Their action machnism also has been discussed. This paper summerized the iridoids and their bioactivities from V. jatamansi in recent years, which could provide basic foundation for development and research of V. jatamansi.

Objective To investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis(CAS)plaque and its related factors and cerebral infarction(CI).Methods The 91 patients with CI were detected by Color Doppler and the levels of plasma lipid,blood glucose(BG)and fibrinogen(Fbg)were evaluated,and compared with normal control(NC)group.Results(1)Compare with NC group,the IMT,prevalence of CAS plaque,the rates of soft plaque in CI group were significantly higher(all P

On the basis of the development of a new CE method for the analysis of α-lactalbumin (α-Lac), β-lactoglobulin A(β-LgA) and β-lactoglobulin B(β-LgB), different concentrations of acetic acid (HAc) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for the removal of proteins in raw milk, infant formula A and B, and yogurt were investigated.It was shown that TCA is better than HAc for eliminating of proteins in the above four samples.The proteins in 2 g of raw milk could be eliminated by 3 mL of 100 g/L TCA.0.5 g of infant formula A and B needs 5 mL of 10 g/L and 20 g/L TCA to remove the proteins, respectively.For 2 g of yogurt, 3 mL of 20 g/L TCA is enough.The present research may provide valuable information for protein-containing sample (such as raw milk, infant formula and yogurt) pretreatment.
