Objective To analyze the mentation of patients with stroke and the risk factors.MethodsThe mentation of 309 patients(178 male cases and 131 female cases) with stroke was evaluated with special scales.ResultsAmong the male cases,the incidence of anxiety was 30%;the incidence of depression was 37%.Among the female cases,the incidence of anxiety was 43%;the incidence of depression was 51%.The incidences of anxiety and depression of female were higher than that of male(P<0.05).ConclusionThe incidences of anxiety and depression in stroke patients are higher than common people.The degree of stroke,family relations,gender and age of the patients are the risk factors of anxiety and depression after stroke.

Objective To study the characteristics of sleep disorders in patients with stroke.Methods 350 patients with stroke were evaluated with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Neurofunction Deficit Score (NDS).Results The familiar sleep disorders in stroke patients were difficulty to fall asleep, early to awake, hard to keep the sleep long, with inordinate sleep structure, excess sleep in daytime, paroxysmal nona. The incidence rate of sleep disorder in female cases was higher than that of the male cases ( P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of dyssomnia in stroke patients is higher than that of common people. As a whole,the incidence of dyssomnia in female stroke patients is higher than male. The incidence of sleep disorders such as difficulty to fall asleep, early to awake, hard to keep the sleep long, with inordinate sleep structure in female stroke patients is higher than that of male patients. The incidence of sleep disorders such as excess sleep in daytime, paroxysmal nona in male stroke patients is higher than that of female patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅱ( IGF-II ) and its mRNA in human placenta and to evaluate its role in the pathogenesis pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods The cellular distribution of IGF-Ⅱin normal and PIH placenta was determined by immunohistochemistry. Trophoblasts were digested,separated,and purified from placenta. IGF-ⅡmRNA expression in trophoblasts was detected by RT-PCR. The mean density was determined by image analysis technique. Results (1) IGF-Ⅱwas mostly found in syncytiotrophoblast,cytotrophoblast and amnio-chorion. The strongest immunoreactivity was observed in the syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast. (2)The mean density of PIH placenta (0.324?0.042) was significantly lower than that of normotensives (0.360?0.072,P

The quality control of Chinese patent medicines containing animal-derived crude drugs is relatively difficult, because the effective constituents of most animal-derived crude drugs remain unknown. Even if there are relevant methods, they are usually qualitative, and quantitative indicators are either lacking or have poor specificity. This paper has proposed to use molecular quantitative technology to control the quality of Chinese patent medicines containing animal-derived crude drugs. In this study, a molecular quantitative method based on fluorescence quantitative PCR was established for the determination of Jinqian Baihua She in Jinlong Capsule. The method has good specificity, sensitivity, and repeatability. There is a good linear relationship between the content of DNA fragments and the CT (cycle threshold) value. The content of the Bungarus multicinctus-specific fragment in Jinlong Capsule is 24.1-46.6 IU·mg^-1. It is suggested that the content of the specific fragment of Jinqian Baihua She should not be less than 19.3 IU·mg^-1 as one of the quality control criteria of Jinlong Capsule. The study can provide a reference for the quality control of Chinese patent medicines containing animal-derived crude drugs.

Objective To study the relation between phlegm-damp retention type of metabolism syndrome and microcosmic indices in order to find out the objective evidence for TCM syndrome differentiation.Methods Totally 49 cases of metabolism syndrome were observed,25 of them were phlegm-damp retention type in differentiation and 24 were non-phlegm-damp retention type.The height, body weight,waistline and blood pressure of two groups were measured,the serum leptin,insulin and blood lipid were determined, and the insulin resistance index(IRI)and body mass index(BMI)were calculated.Results The leptin,BMI,systolic pressure,FINS and IRI of the phlegm-damp retention group were all higher than those of the non-phlegm-damp retention group.Conclusion BMI, leptin,insulin,and IRI may be taken as the the index of syndrome differentiation in metabolism syndrome.

AlM: To analyze, summarize and describe ophthalmic imaging features of posterior scleritis.
METHODS: Clinical data of 16 patients ( 21 eyes ) with posterior scleritis diagnosed in our hospital from October 2008 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The results of type-B ultrasonic, fundus chromophotograph, fundus fluorescein angiography, CT were recorded for comprehensive evaluation and analysis of ophthalmic imaging features of posterior scleritis.
RESULTS: All patients underwent type-B ultrasonic examination and manifested as diffuse and nodular types. The diffuse type showed diffusely thickened sclera and a dark hypoechoic area that connected with the optic nerve to form a typical “T”-shaped sign. The nodular type showed scleral echogenic nodules and relatively regular internal structure. FFA showed that relatively weak mottled fluorescences were visible in the arterial early phase and strong multiple needle-like fluorescences were visible in the arteriovenous phase, which were then progressively larger and fused; fluorescein was leaked to the subretinal tissue in the late phase;varying degrees of strong fluorescences with less clear or unclear boundaries were visible in the optic disk. CT results showed thickened eyeball wall.
CONCLUSlON: Posterior scleritis is common in young female patients, whose ophthalmic imaging features are varied and more specific in type-B ultrasonic. Selection of rational ophthalmic imaging examination method, combined with clinical manifestations, can accurately diagnose posterior scleritis and avoid the incidence of missed and delayed diagnosis.
