Objective To investigate the rule of cell apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats, and to analyze the effect of Astragalus injection on the brain tissue water content and cell apoptosis perihematoma.Methods Experimental ICH models of rats were produced in by injection of Collagenase into right caudate nucleus using stereotaxis technique. After operation, 160 SD rats were randomly divided into 4 test groups according to different intervention time (operation meanwhile group, 6 h group,12 h group and 24 h group after operation, 32 rats in each group) and hemorrhagic control group (32 rats). The rats in test groups were treated with Astragalus injection intraperitoneally once a day. All ICH animals were killed at 4 d or 7 d after ICH. 12 rats from the above each group were used to measure brain tissue water content (dry-wet method). The effect of different initiation time point of treatment on brain tissue water content and cell apoptosis perihematoma was observed. The apoptosis perihematoma was detected by TUNEL technique.Results Compared with hemorrhagic control group, brain tissue water contents improved significantly in operation meanwhile group (4 d), 6 h group (both 4 d and 7 d) and 12 h group (4 d)(all P

BACKGROUND: Posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) arises as a delayed and /or protracted response to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature. There have been reports about natural disasters causing PTSD, but there have been few reports about PTSDcaused by technological disasters. Our study investigated the mental status of those survivors after a serious explosion.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and the factors of impact of PTSD caused by technological disasters.DESIGN: A case controlled study of the survivors of a momentous explosion.SETTING: A provincial mental health center.PARTICIPANTS: A serious explosion happened in Urumqi on September 8, 2000. Twenty-eight survivors(as the study group) who were still hospitalized for treatment 3 -5 months after the accident were involved in this study. And in the control group were 30 normal persons whose general demographic data were the same as those patients.METHODS: A psychiatrist told the subjects the following: The objective and meaning of the test, and explained the self-making questionnaire about their general condition, symptom checklist (SCL-90), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale(SDS), cornell medical index(CMI), the questionnaire on dealing styles, the questionnaire on social support, and others-evaluating scale, incident effect scale(IES); a list of stress reaction symptoms.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Main resulta:①Clinical feature of PTSD caused by the technological disaster.②the related factors to PTSD in the technologal disaster.Secondary results: Comparison of the results between the two groups in IES, CMI, SDS and SAS.RESULTS: A total of 22(79% ) survivors met the criteria as PTSD. There were significant differences in all the assessments(IES, CMI, SDS, SAS,SCL-90) between the study group and the control group (t =3.62-8.17, P < 0.01 ) . The diagnosis of PTSD was positively correlated with the level of traumatic exposure( r = 0. 420, P < 0. 05), and negatively correlated with the degree of satisfaction with the post-event solutions( r = 0. 420, P< 0.05), positively correlated with IES scoring and the level of heart pain ( r = 0. 389 - 0. 665, P < 0. 01 ) . The total scores of IES were positively correlated with the level of exposure ( r = 0. 478, P < 0.05 ).CONCLUSION: The incidence of PTSD after explosion was high, and its occurrence was related with the degree of exposure in the event and that of the satisfaction with the post-event solutions.
