Objective To explore the correlation study of cerebral vascular hemo -dynamic index(CVHI) with blood pressure,body mass index (BMI)etc.in outpatients.Methods Participants were outpatients with non -invasive CVHI test,who were selected as study subjects.Height,weight,blood pressure and other general information were investigated and the distribution characteristics of blood pressure,BMI and CVHI were compared in different age and gender groups.Results A total of 28 616 subjects were included in the study.The age range was 11 -99 years. Means of CVHI integral score in males and females were (77.78 ±28.44)points and (79.18 ±27.8)points(t =4.275,P <0.01),and abnormality rates of the score(<75 points)were 30.1% and 28.1%(χ2 =13.444,P <0.01),the differences were statistically significant.CVHI score was decreased and the abnormal rate was increased with aging.Systolic blood pressure was elevated with aging and diastolic blood pressure was higher in middle age subjects (40 -65 years).The proportions of over weighted and obesity in male were 37.5% and 15.4%,which in female were 33.2% and 14.9%(χ2 =70.661,P <0.01).It was especially higher in middle age subjects.Conclusion Degree of injury of cerebrovascular function and level of systolic blood pressure are along with aging.Means of BMI and diastolic blood pressure is higher in middle age population.The rate of high risk individuals in outpatients is about 30%.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of baicalin on Aβ25-35 induced learning and memory deficits and changes in autophagy-related genes in mice so as to explore the related mechanisms of Alzheimer disease (AD) treatment . METHODS C57 mice were administered with 3μL Aβ25-35 3 mmol·L-1 by intracerebroventricular injection to establish an AD model. Baicalin was given by intracerebroventricular injection at the dose of 25, 50 and 100 mg · kg-1 for 15 d, respectively. The total distance and the central grid residence time were measured in the open-field test. The escape latency and the time to reach the platform were monitored in the Morris water maze trial. The autophagic vacuoles in the hippocampus of the mice were observed by transmission electron microscopy before the protein expressions of microtu?bule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and Beclin1 in brain tissue were analyzed by Western blot?ting assay. RESULTS Intracerebroventricular injection of Aβ25-35 could reduce the total distance from (3984±321)cm to (2790±306)cm and extend central grid residence time from (3.6±1.2)s to (8.8±2.9)s in the open-field test. The escape latency of water maze also increased from (22.0 ± 1.9)s to (38.8 ± 2.2)s. Autophagic vacuoles or late autophagic vacuoles and increased Beclin1 and LC3 and protein level were observed in the hippocampus after Aβ25-35 injection. Intraperitoneal injection of Baicalin 50 and 100 mg · kg-1 for fifteen consecutive days extended the total distance in open-field test to (3705 ± 337)cm and (3968 ± 448)cm, respectively, while the central grid residence time was reduced to (5.6 ± 1.8)s and (3.9±1.5)s, respectively. The total time taken to reach the platform in water maze test was reduced to (28.6± 1.9)s, (22.9 ± 1.7)s. Mitochondrial swelling, vacuolar membrane structure or autophagic vacuoles were visible in the hippocampus. LC3 and Beclin1 protein expression was significantly up-regulated(P<0.01). CONCLUSION Baicalin shows protective effect against Aβ25-35 induced learning and memory deficits, and this effect may be related to the activation of autophagy in the mouse hippocampus.

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a newly discovered rare endocrinological syndrome characterized by structrual defect of pituitary and multiple deficiencies of a series of hypothalamic hormones, and thus leading to a cluster of clinical symptoms. This review will illustrate the genetic pathogenic factors influence on embryonic development, and briefly introduce the current studies of Whole-Exome Sequencing on PSIS.

Objective To investigate the difference between Han nationality residents and the Hani nationality residents in southern Yunnan about the effects of stroke risk factors on cerebral vascular hemodynamic indicators.Methods In the cohort crowds,Hani nationality outpatient patients were selected as the Hani nationality group,the Han nationality outpatient patients with the same gender and similar age were randomly selected as the Han nationality group with the ratio of nearly 1 ∶ 3.The risk factors of stroke and the differences of the hemodynamic indicators were compared between the two groups.Results The dyslipidemia proportion of the Hani nationality group was lower than that of the Han nationality group [48 cases (11.5 %) vs.257 cases (17.5 %),x2 =8.867,P =0.003],and the drinking proportion of the Hani nationality group was higher than that of the Han nationality group [79 cases (18.9%) vs.214 cases(14.6%),x2 =4.498,P =0.034],the other risk factors exposure rates had no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05).The ratio of numbers of cerebral vascular hemodynamic indicators below 75 points(optimum truncation points) in the Hani nationality group and the Han nationality group were 30.3% and 31.9%,respectively,the proportion of the two groups of integral value distribution had statistically significant difference (x2 =12.614,P < 0.01);Vmean (left:t =0.632,P =0.527;right:t =0.642,P =0.532),Vmin (left:t =-0.349,P =0.727;right:t =-0.540,P =0.589),Wv(left:t =0.297,P =0.767;right:t =1.119,P =0.263),Zcv(left:t =0.297,P =0.767;right:t =1.247,P =0.213),Rv(left:t =0.837,P =0.403;right:t =1.222,P =0.222),DR(left:t =0.720,P =0.482;right:t =0.396,P =0.692),Cp(left:t =0.614,P =0.539;right:t =1.486,P =0.138) and other indicators of the two groups had no statistically significant differences.Conclusion The Hani nationality residents'stroke risk factors and CVHI integral distribution in different age groups are different from Han people in southern Yunnan.

Objective To investigate the exposure to stroke risk factors, the proportion of high?risk individuals, and the relationship between risk factor exposure and impaired cerebrovascular hemodynamics in patients at Pu'er People's Hospital. Methods Between April 2014 and June 2017, this study enrolled inpatients and outpatients of the neurology department of Pu'er People's Hospital who underwent cerebrovascular hemodynamic examinations to evaluate stroke risk. A total of 30 103 (12 793 males and 17 310 females) participants aged 22 to 99 (53.3±14.5) years were included. The distribution of exposure rates for stroke risk factors and proportion of high?risk individuals were determined according to age and sex. The relationships between integral scores of cerebrovascular hemodynamics and exposure to risk factors were also analyzed. Results Exposure rates for risk factors of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, heart disease, stroke family history, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and overweight or obesity in males were 36.6%, 11.4%, 8.8%, 5.9%, 7.0%, 41.6%, 37.8%, and 51.4%, respectively. The exposure rates in females were 31.2%, 11.3%, 7.6%, 5.5%, 6.8%, 0.7%, 1.6%, and 48.8%, respectively. Differences between age groups for all risk factors were significant (P<0.01). Exposure rates for hypertension, diabetes, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and overweight or obesity in males were significantly higher than in females (P<0.01). High?risk males and females accounted for 41.8% and 35.6% (χ2=119.82, P<0.01) and the rates in both groups increased significantly with age (χ2=1 838.2, 2 881.5, P<0.01). Risk factors including age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, heart disease, stroke family history, alcohol drinking, and body mass index were independent predictors of increased individual risk of stroke. Conclusions Exposure levels for stroke risk factors and the proportion of individuals at high risk of stroke were relatively high in the hospital population. Cerebrovascular dysfunction is closely related to exposure to common risk factors for stroke.
