Objective To investigate relationship between different degrees of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and cognitive impairment. Methods The cognitive function were evaluated with the montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) in 80 patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and 56 controls, the total MoCA scores and subprojects scores were compared between the patients with different degrees of ACS and controls. Results The total MoCA score, visual space and executive function, attention and delayed recall had significant difference among the mild, moderate, severe ACS patients and control group (all P < 0.05). There was no statistical significance of the total MoCA score and the scores of all subprojects between the patients of mild ACS patients and the control group (all P > 0.05). The total MoCA score and the scores of visual space and executive function , attention and delayed recall in moderate and severe ACS patients were significantly lower than the control group and mild ACS patients (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the severe ACS patients, compared with the moderate ACS patients , performed worse on the cognitive tasks which involved visual space and executive function, attention and delayed recall (P < 0.05). Conclusions Cognitive function is impaired in the patients with moderate and severe ACS,the neuropsychological characteristics are mainly impaired in visual space and executive function, attention and delayed recall.

Objective How to avoid the rejection of the synthetic patch and human tissue has become an urgent problem to be solved.The article investigated thein vivobiocompatibility of polypropylene mesh scaffold with adipose -derived stem cells(ADSCs) in rabbits. Methods Rabbit ADSC suspension were prepared.ADSCs were seeded onto polypropylene mesh scaffolds after passage and amplification and cultured invitro for 1 week .The polypropylene mesh and ADSC fixed polypropylene mesh were implanted respec-tively into the surface of rectus abdominis in rabbits.4 weeks later, adhesion and erosion of the meshes were evaluated, HE staining was used in histological observation and RT-PCR was applied to detect the dynamic changes of VEGF mRNA level.ADSCs were isola-ted from rabbit subcutaneous adipose tissue after collagenase digesting, filtrating and centrifuging. Results The results of flow cy-tometry showed that the expressions of CD44, CD73, CD90, CD45, CD14 and CD34 were 98.54%, 95.32%, 98.49%, 1.21%, 3.01%, 2.14%, respectively.Polypropylene mesh, ADSC-fixed polypropylene mesh had different degrees of corrosion and adhesion , but polypropylene mesh showed denser adhesion.In comparison with polypropylene,ADSC fixed polypropylene meshes induced a mil -der chronic inflammation response,with lower scores for inflammation (1.1 ±0.2 vs 0.6 ±0.1, P=0.001), higher scores for neovas-cularization (17.0 ±0.0 vs 2.6 ±0.3, P=0.000) and fibroblastic proliferation(0.9 ±0.1 vs 2.2 ±0.2, P=0.001).Relative a-mounts of VEGF mRNA of were significantly lower for ADSC-fixed polypropylene compared with the remaining polypropylene meshes (t=94.6, P<0.05). Conclusi on Polypropylene mesh scaffold with ADSCs exhibits excellent cellular compatibility and have a bright future in clinical practice.
