Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture of Siguan on contents of hippocampal monoamine neurotransmitter NE, DA and 5-HT in post-stroke depression rats, and throught it to probe the possible mechanism of anti-depressive.Methods 60 rats were divided into five groups randomly, as the normal group, MCAO group, PSD group, Siguan group, and fluoxetine group. Except the normal group, the rats of other groups were used to establish left side of the MCAO models by modified Longa filament method. PSD model was prepared by living alone in combination with mild stimulation by chronic unpredictable after stroke model success 7 days. The Siguan group was received electroacupuncture at Siguan point, and the fluoxetine group was gastrically perfused with fluoxetine, and all rats were received sugar consumption experiment in different period of treatment. After continuous treatment for 21 days, contents of NE, DA and 5-HT in hippocampal tissue were measured with RP-HPLC-fluorescent method. Results At the seventh day, compared with PSD group, the ratio of sugar water consumption(51.09%± 3.68%vs. 38.97%± 4.07%)has a significant increase in the Siguan group(P<0.01), while no significant changes in the fluoxetine group. At the fourteenth day, the ratio of sugar water consumption(68.25%± 4.69%vs. 39.64%± 4.49%)continued to rise in the Siguan group, the fluoxetine group also had significantly increased compared with the PSD group, the two groups were significantly higher than those in the PSD group (P<0.01), but the Siguan group was higher than that of the fluoxetine group(P<0.01).At the twenty-first day, the ratio of sugar water consumption (41.56%± 2.12%vs. 41.56%± 2.12%)increased further in the Siguan group and the fluoxetine group, which was significantly higher than those in the PSD group (P<0.01), but the Siguan group and fluoxetine group had no obvious difference(P>0.05). Compared with the PSD group,the contents of NE(244.93 ± 44.57 ng/g vs. 129.27 ± 11.68 ng/g), DA(86.80 ± 14.64 ng/g vs.44.22 ± 7.60 ng/g), 5-HT(526.31 ± 54.41 ng/g vs.221.56 ± 39.57 ng/g) in the hippocampus tissues were significantly higher than many in the Siguan group and fluoxetine group(P<0.01), but the difference between the two groups was not obvious(P>0.05). Conclusion The symptoms of PSD rats pleasure disappeared can be improved by electroacupuncture atSiguan. Its mechanism may be related with the increased contents of monoamine neurotransmitters in the hippocampus of rats.

Objective To observe the occurrence and risk factors of arrhythmia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in different stages of renal function. Methods A total of 405 CKD patients were enrolled in this study and none of them received renal replacement therapy.The 24 h dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG) was performed,and baseline characteristics were compared.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the severe arrhythmia and the potential risk factors,such as age,gender,CKD stage,diabetes,hypertension,hyperpotassaemia,left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH),etc. Results There were 69 patients (17.04%),79 patients (19.51%),82 patients (20.25%),88 patients (21.73 %) and 87 patients (21.48%) in CKD stage 1,2,3,4 and 5,respectively.As high as 45.68% of all the patients had severe arrhythmia,represented by 27.54%,29.11%,42.68%,57.95% and 65.52% in CKD stages 1-5 respectively.The occurrence of severe arrhythmia increased as the eGFR decreased in CKD stages 2,3,4 (p<0.05).On multivariable Logistic regression analysis,the occurrence of severe arrhythmia was related to LVH,CKD stage,diaberes hyertension and hyperpotassaemia are signidicantly assoxiated with severe arrhythmia.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment efficacy and experience of invasive thalamus cavernous malformations (CMs).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The clinical and follow-up data of 8 patients with invasive thalamus CMs, admitted to our hospital from July 2007 to June 2020, were chosen. These patients accepted minimally invasive resection via sylvian fissure-insular approach after the second rapture hemorrhage; follow up was performed for 8 months-10 years. Results:The lesions of these 8 patients were near the lateral thalamus, and the lesions were completely removed during the surgery. Within 24 h of surgery, the lower limb muscle strength of one patient was improved to grading 2, and that of 2 patients was improved to grading 1. Follow up results 6 months after treatment showed that the modified Rankin scale scores were 1-3 in 5 patients and 4 in 3 patients; and there were no recurrence during the follow-up of (49.7±37.8) months.Conclusion:The resection via sylvian fissure-insular approach is safe and effective for patients with invasive thalamus CMs after the second rapture hemorrhage.
