Objective To assess the association of cerebrovascular reserve(CVR) with diabetes(DM)、hypertensive atherosclerotic lacunar infarction(HALI),hypertension(HT) and diabetic lacunar infarction(DLI) by means of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) with breath-holding maneuver.Methods The breath-holding index (BHI), which was the percentage increase in middle cerebral artery(MCA) blood flow velocity as index of CVR assessment,was detected during breath-holding by TCD and breath-holding technique in 30 diabetic patients,30 hypertensive atherosclerotic lacunar infarction patients,30 hypertension patients and 30 diabetic lacunar infarction patients. Results There was significant difference in the ascending rates of Vm and BHI between diabetic group and diabetic lacunar infarction group,diabete lacunar infarction group and hypertensive atherosclerotic lacunar infarction group,hypertension group and diabetic group (all P<0.05). Conclusions Diabetes can more significantly impair CVR than hypertension. Diabetic lacunar infarction can more significantly impair CVR than diabetes. Diabetic lacunar infarction can more significantly impair CVR than hypertensive atherosclerotic lacunar infarction .

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback combined with swallowing function training at different times on post-stroke dysphagia. Methods 124 patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The observation group was given biofeedback combined with swallowing function training for 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment. The control group was given routine swallowing function training for 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment. Kubota drinking water test was used to evaluate the swallowing function before treatment, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment in both groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of swallowing function between the two groups before treatment (P=0. 401). After 2 weeks of treatment, there was also no statistically significant difference in the evaluation of swallowing function between the observation group and the control group (P=0. 138). After 4 weeks of treatment, the evaluation of swallowing function in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group(P=0. 003). Conclusion Biofeedback combined with swallowing function training is better than the routine swallowing function training. After 4 weeks of treatment, the efficacy of biofeedback combined with swallowing function training is better than the biofeedback combined with swallowing function training after 2 weeks, indicating that there is a correlation between the treatment effect and the length of treatment time.
