Complications that follow ischemic stroke are common,frequency ranging from 28% to 95%.It may either directly lead to death or prevent optimal recovery.54% of deaths after ischemic stroke are attributed to medical complications.Most complications occur during the first week,and stroke severity is the most important risk factor.The common serious medical complications are chest or urinary tract infection,deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary embolism,cardiac events,gastrointestinal bleeding,hyperglycemia,pressure sores.Falls,shoulder pain and depression are also common complications.Most of medical complications are preventable or treatable to some extent if recognized,so preventive strategies and appropriate treatment should be employed as early as possible.Prevention,early recognition,and management complications could improve short-term and long-term prognoses after ischemic stroke.

The principle and structure of the near-IR laser spectrum noninvasive blood glucose detection system are introduced in the paper. To meet the detection demand of the little DC current signal in the system,the current measure methods are analyzed. The hardware and software structure are discussed in the end.

Brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) play a key role in tumorigenesis and tumor development.There are a group of special markers in the surface of brain tumor stem cells,which can sorts stem cells,precursor cells and cancer stem cells.In recent years,the studies of CD133,Nestin,high-mobility group A1,A2B5 have made some breakthroughs.

Objective To study the correlation between vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in clear renal cell carcinoma (CRCC).Methods In 60 cases of CRCC and 10 cases of normal renal tissue,immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression of COX-2 and VEGF.Results The positive expression rate of COX-2 in CRCC (76.7％) was significantly higher than that in normal renal tissue (20％) (x2 =10.28,P ＜0.01).The positive expression rate of VEGF in CRCC(73.3％) was significantly higher than that in normal renal tissue (20％) (x2 =8.58,P ＜0.01).The expressions of COX-2 and VEGF in CRCC were correlated with each other (r =0.469,P ＜0.01).Conclusions The expressions of COX-2 and VEGF were involved in the pathophysiolical processes of clear renal cell carcinoma.The expression levels of COX-2 and VEGF might be used to evaluate the development of clear renal cell carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of down-regulation of Netrin-1 expression on cell proliferation,apoptosis and migration of a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma(CSCC)cell line SCL-1.Methods Unspecific(control)small interference RNA(siRNA)and Netrin-1-targeting siRNA were designed and constructed.SCL-1 cells were divided into 3 groups to remain untreated(control group 1),be transfected with control siRNA(control group 2)and Netrin-l-targeting siRNA(experiment group)by using Lipofectamine 2000 respectively.After 48 hours of additional culture,flow cytometry was performed to detect the apoptosis of cells,Western blot to determine the protein expression of caspase-3 and-9,Netrin-1 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)in these cells,and Boyden chamber was utilized to evaluate the migration of cells.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed with cholecystokinin-8(CCK-8)kit to estimate the proliferation of cells at 24,48,72 and 96 hours after the transfection.Results The expression of Netrin-1 protein was significantly downregulated in SCL-1 cells in the experiment group compared with the control group 1 and 2 (0.207 ± 0.044 vs.0.741 ± 0.111 and 0.716 ± 0.109,F =31.43,P ＜ 0.05).The Netrin-1-targeting siRNA significantly downregulated the proliferation of SCL-1 cells,but induced the apoptosis in SCL-1 cells with significant differences in the percentage of early apoptotic cells and late apoptotic cells between the control group 1,2 and experiment group(11.74 ± 0.33 vs.11.55 ± 1.22 vs.24.74 ± 2.43,F=68.63,P＜ 0.01;3.82 ± 0.32 vs.4.69 ± 0.68 vs.5.33 ± 0.18,F =8.58,P ＜ 0.05).The experiment group showed a significant increase in the expression of caspase-3 and-9(1.458 ± 0.111 vs.0.398 ± 0.057 and 0.412 ± 0.049,F =183.99,P ＜ 0.01;0.967 ± 0.099 vs.0.234 ± 0.036 and 0.205 ± 0.033,F =138.11,P ＜ 0.01),but a statistical decrease in the expression of MMP-2(0.235 ± 0.038 vs.0.862 ± 0.040 and 0.892 ± 0.035,F =291.07,P ＜ 0.01)compared with the control group 1 and 2.Conclusions The down-regulation of Netrin-1 expression can suppress the proliferation and migration of SCL-1 cells,but promote the apoptosis in SCL-1 cells.

The immunoregulatory effect of TLSF_(JM) on the levels of IP3,Ca~(2+) in activated T cells andthe expression of Fos protein was investigated by ABC immunohistochemistry technique and Fu-ra-2/AM labelled T cells and anion-exchange chromatography techniques in this paper.The re-sults showed that TLSF_(JM) can the same time,it can strongly inhibit the levels of IP3、Ca~(2+) in ac-tivated T cells.
