Objective To take nursing measure through analysis on the risk factors of recurrent stroke in the aged.Methods Total 96 subjects were analyzed retrospectively.The risk factors were compared on the urban and the rural through analyzing their clinical characteristics.Results There were more diabetes mellitus and blood lipid disorder and obesity in urban than those in rural.There was also a difference in hypertension between the urban and the rural.Conclusion The recurrence of stroke in the aged is owing to many factors.The different measure should be taken by different reasons.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of phosphorylated protein kinase R-like ER kinase(p-PERK) and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP) after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage ( HIBD) . Methods Neonatal 7-day-old Sprague Dawley rats were divided into sham-operation control group and HIBD group( n=30 per group) . Each group was divided into 0 h,6 h and 24 h subgroup after operation ( n=10 per group) . The ratio of apoptosis of brain cell was measured by flow cytometer and the expression of p-PERK and CHOP were detected by Western blot. Results (1)Apoptosis cell appeared at 6 h in HIBD group,the ratio of cell apoptosis was(2. 17 ± 0. 19)%. The apoptosis cell obvious increased at 24 h,the ratio of cell apoptosis was(13. 42 ± 0. 83)%. There was a significant increase in the ratio of apoptosis after HIBD 6 h and 24 h, as compared with sham-operation control group [ ( 0. 57 ± 0. 06 )%( P <0. 01 ) ] . ( 2 ) The expression of both p-PERK and CHOP was very low in sham-operation control group. In the HIBD group,the expression of both p-PERK and CHOP began to increase at 6 h and increased furthermore at HIBD 24 h. The differences in the expression levels of p-PERK and CHOP in HIBD group among different time points were significant( P<0. 01 ) . ( 3 ) The expression of p-PERK positively correlated with the expression of CHOP (r=0. 997,P< 0. 05). Conclusion With the emerging of apoptosis after HIBD,the expression of both p-PERK and CHOP increases. The imbalance in the expression of PERK induces the apoptosis of brain cells in the HIBD of neonatal rats by regulation of CHOP expression.

Objective To explore the effects of over-expression high-mobility-group A2(HMGA2) on proliferation and cell cycle in primary cultured human growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumor cells .Methods The protein expression of HMGA2 in growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumor cells transfected by HMGA2 overexpression plasmid (transfection group) were detected by Western blot .The effects of the HMGA2 overexpression on cell proliferation ,cell cycle were measured by (cell counting kit-8 , CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry respectively .Results HMGA2 protein of transfection group was higher than the blank load transfection group(tranfectied with pcDNA3 .1 plasmid) after 24 h (P<0 .05) .To compare with the blank load transfection group , cells overexpression of HMGA2 could drastically increase the ability of proliferation at 24 ,48 ,72 ,96 h and increase the S phase rati-o of cell cycle and decrease the G1 phase ratio of cell cycle ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Over-expression of HMGA2 increases pituitary tumor cells proliferation ability and promote cells G 1 phase progress .

Objective To investigate the influence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) on neurological development of preterm infants.Methods The preterm infants were classified into 2 groups( PPROM group and control group).The neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) and CDCC of infants in two groups were measured and compared after retrieved:gestational age 40 weeks,3 months and 6 months.Results Psycho-moter developmental index(PDI) of PPROM group after retrieved gestational age 3,6 months was significantly lower than that of control group(Pa

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear transcriptional factors closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity. Activation of PPARs targets treated type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension and other metabolic diseases by insulin resistance. Recently, a variety of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been proved to activate PPARs targets for improving insulin resistance, which has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. In this paper, we reviewed the pathological mechanisms between insulin resistance and PPARs, and summarized the active ingredients of TCMs improved insulin resistance based on PPARs targets. This paper may provide some theoretical guidance for the development of new drugs and TCMs.

OBJECTIVETo observe vasodilation effect of EUL and its mechanism.

METHODIsometric tension was recorded in isolated rat thoracic artery precontracted by noradrenaline (NE) to study the vasodilation effect of EUL, and to investigate the role of endothelial cell and vascular smooth muscle cell on vasodilation.

RESULTEUL was shown to significantly relax the endothelium-intact arteries precontracted by NE, relaxation had fall down on endothelium-denuded arteries. EUL did not affect the concentration-contraction curve of K+. NE and CaCl2 to shift to the right with an decrease in the maximum effective response, manifesting non-competitive antagonism (P <0. 01). The relaxant effect of EUL was significantly inhibited by pretreatment of endothelium-denuded aorta with potassium channel antagonist glibenclamide.

CONCLUSIONEUL induces relaxation in rat aortic rings. The mechanisms may involve the endothelium and the activation of the potassium channels.
