ObjectiveToinvestigatethecorrelationbetweentheetiologicsubtypeandoutcomein patients w ith non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events (NICE). Methods The consecutive patients w ith NICE admitted to hospital within 7 days after onset were enroled prospectively and folowed for 90 days. Etiologic subtypes w ere classified according to the Chinese Ischemic Stroke Subclassification (CISS). Good outcome w as defined as modified Rankin Scale score 0-2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis w as used to identify the independent risk factors for stroke recurrence and poor outcomes. Results A total of 162 patients with NICE were enroled. According to CISS, 76 (46.9%) were classified into large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), 54 (33.3%) into penetrating artery disease (PAD), 15 (9.3%) into cardiogenic stroke (CS), 11 (6.8%) into undetermined etiology (UE), and 6 (3.7%) into other etiology (OE). A total of 30 patients (18.5%) had recurrent stroke w ithin 90 days and 42 (25.9%) had poor outcomes. The proportions of patients w ith diabetes (46.7%vs.20.5%;χ2 =8.885, P=0.003), previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (46.7%vs.25.0%;χ2 =5.572, P=0.018), CS (20.0%vs.6.8%;Fisher exact test:P=0.036) in the stroke recurrence group w ere significantly higher than those in the non-stroke recurrence group, and the proportion of PAD patients in the stroke recurrence group w as significantly low er than that in the non -stroke recurrence group ( 16.7%vs.37.1%; χ2 =4.602, P=0.032 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis show ed that diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 2.137, 95%confidence interval [CI] 1.359-4.187;P=0.004) and CS (OR 5.236, 95%CI 2.326-10.256; P<0.001) w ere the independent risk factors for recurrent stroke of NICE. The proportions of patients w ith hypertension ( 83.3%vs.61.7%; χ2 =6.635, P=0.010 ), diabetes (40.5%vs.20.0%;χ2 =6.900, P=0.009), atrial fibrilation (35.7%vs.14.2%;χ2 =9.113, P=0.003) and CS ( 19.0%vs.5.8%; Fisher exact test: P= 0.017 ) in the poor outcome group w ere significantly higher than those in the good outcome group, and the proportion of PAD patients ( 16.7%vs. 39.2%;χ2 =7.088, P=0.008) in the poor outcome group w as significantly low er than that in the good outcome group.

Objective To investigate the brain mechanism elicted by multiple conflict.Methods This study integrated different types of conflict,including Flanker,Stroop and Simon conflict,by using the event-related potential(ERP) technique.Results The behavioral data showed that there were the congruency effect and the conflict adaptation effect in all types of the conflict.ERP data showed that the congruency effects of P300,N450 and SP component were found in all types of conflict.Conclusion The conflict monitoring theory is still available for various types of conflict in multiple conflict conditions and the human brain uses local control mechanism to resolve the conflict.In addition,the human brain resolves the conflict based on the flexibility of cognitive control system driven by multiple conflict and the conflict-specific control mechanisms.These mechanisms are independent and free from any interference with each other.

Objective To investigate the early diagnostic value and prognostic significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with sepsis. Methods Ninety cases between December 2008 and April 2009 were collected. According to the 1991 ACCP/SCCM and 2001 SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS sepsis diagnosis criteria,they were divided into sepsis group (50 cases), nonbacterial systemic inflammation syndrome group (SIRS group, 17 cases) and control group (23 cases). Sepsis group was divided into two subgroups (survival group and death group) according to 28-day prognosis Dynamic changes of serum PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell (WBC), and neutrophil count percentage (N) on the 1st, 4th day after admission was monitored,meanwhile, the maximal body temperature was recorded. Results The serum PCT level of sepsis group on the 1st day was higher than that in SIRS group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant [6.68 μg/L(1.16-12.46 μg/L) vs 0.22 μg/L(0.05-0.54 μg/L) vs 0.05 μg/L(0.05-0.27 μg/L), P < 0.05]. The serum PCT level of death group was higher than that in survival group,and the difference was statistically significant[11.89μg/L (10.00-28.67 μg/L) vs 2.44 μg/L(1.11-10.00 μg/L),P<0.05]. In sepsis group,serum PCT was positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score(r = 0.511, P = 0.000). The area under the ROC curve of PCT was bigger than that of CRP,WBC,N and ESR. The serum PCT level of survival group gradually decreased to normal level after the therapy,but the serum PCT level of death group didn't decrease significantly. Conclusions Serum PCT is a better biomarker in the early diagnosis of sepsis,and its sensitivity and specificity is superior to other inflammation parameters. It positively correlates with the severity of sepsis and can predict the prognosis.

The sera of 206 cases with hydatid disease diagnosed by B-ultrasound and X-ray in survey scene had been examined by Dot-ELISA and IHA with Qinghai cystic hydatid antigen, ELISA With Xingjiang cystic hydatid antigen and Em18-EliB with alveolar hydatid antigen. The results showed that the sero-positive rates were 90. 37% and 91.98% in these cases with cystic hydatid disease by Dot EliSA and IHA with Qinghai cystic hydatid antigen respectively. The sero-positive rate was 75. 94% in same cases by ELISA with Xingjiang cystic hydatid antigen. The sero-positive rateswere 77.27% 81. 82% and 65. 91 % in those cases with the whole calcific cystic hydatid disease by above three methods respectively, and the sero-positive rates were lower in whole calcific cystic hydatid than that in other cystic hydatid disease. The sero-negative cases belonged to cystic hydatid disease which located in lungs of livers alone. The results by EM18-ELIB with alveolar hydatid antigen showed that the sero-positive rates were 73. 68% and 5. 88% in those cases with alveolar hydatid disease and with cystic hydatid disease diagnosed by B-ultrasound and X-ray respectively,and the sero-positive rate was 15.91 % in whole calcific cystic hydatid disease. The ratio of the number of positive seras to that of negative seras was 1 to 7 approximately. The value and mean of different serological methods in diagnosis and judge diagnosis for cystic and alveolar hydatid disease had been discussed.

AIM: To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of iptakalim hydrochloride(Ipt)on H_2O_2 induced neurotoxity. METHODS: Neurotoxity injury was induced by H_2O_2 in PC12 cells. The cell viability was tested by MTT assay. The glutamate released from PC12 cells was measured by HPLC combined with fluorescent detector analysis. Changes in the intracellular free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ]_i) were determined in fluo-3 AM loaded PC12 cells. RESULTS: Ipt (1, 10 and 100 ?mol?L -1 ) markedly mitigated H_2O_2-induced neurotoxity, 10 ?mol?L -1 Ipt inhibited the release of glutamate and the increase of [Ca 2+ ]_i induced by H_2O_2 .The protective effects was incompletely blocked by 5-HD which is a mitochondrial K_ ATP channels antagnist. CONCLUSION: Ipt provides neuroprotective effects on H_2O_2 induced cytoxixity in cultured PC12 cells and the protective effects may be partially related with mitochondrial KATP channels.
