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.

Objective To investigate the association between prodromal headache and the propensity of rebleeding after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.Method Prodromal headache was defined as a sudden attack of severe headache lasting at least one hour with or without accompanying symptoms,not leading to a diagnosis of SAH 4 weeks before the confirmation of subarachnoid hemorrhage.Two hundred and nine patients with aneurymal subarachnoid hemorrhage were enrolled in this research.Age,gender,Hunt-Hess grade,D-dimer, (FBG),site and number of aneurysms and prodromal headache were recorded.Patients were divided into rebleeding group and non-rebleeding group.Comparing the above survey components between two groups was carried out by using case control study method.Age,aneurysm number,D-dimer and fibrinogen of the two groups were analyzed by t test.Prodromal headache,gender,site of aneurysms were analyzed by chi square test.Hunt- Hess grade was analyzed by rank test.Results Twenty-two(10.5%)patients had rebleeding.In the rebleeding group,10 patients(45.5%)had prodromal headache,while in the non-rebleeding group(n=187),21 patients (11.2%)had prodromal headache.Patients with prodromal headache had greater propensity of rebleeding compared with those without prodromal headache(P
