Objective To investigate the clinical and neuroimage characteristics of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) in Chinese elderly patients. Methods The characteristic clinical presentation and neuroimaging of 5 elderly patients with RPLS were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were one male and four females in this study, with the average age of (63.0±2.4) years, all combined with hypertension. The most common clinical presentations were abnormality of visual perception (5 cases), headache (4 cases), epileptic seizure (4 cases), disturbance of consciousness (3 cases), pathological reflex (2 cases) and hemiplegia (2 cases). CT scan showed 4 cases with low density lesions. MR1 scan showed 5 cases with occipital lobe lesions, 2 with parietal lobe lesions and 1 with temporal lobe lesions. Re-examination of CT scans showed that 4 survived patients became normal at mean (48.8±29.2) days after discharging from hospital. Conclusions The etiologies of RPLS are diverse. The vasogenic theory is supported by neuroimage of RPLS. Neuroimage may be very important for the diagnosis of RPLS. Diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient map may be helpful for differential diagnosis between RPLS and cerebral infarct.

Objective To investigate the influence of acupuncture on Nestin expression in the cerebral cor- tex of hypoxia-ischemic neonatal rats.Methods A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats aged 7 days were random- ly divided into three groups:A normal group(n=24),the hypoxic-ischemic encepbalopathy(HIE)group(n=24), and an acupuncture+HIE group(n=24).The rats were sacrificed at time points including 3d,7d,14d and 28d af- ter insult,their brains were removed and sections were made.Any nerve stem cells(NSCs)in the cerebral cortex were detected using immunohistochemical staining of Nestin.Results Nestin-positive cells were found in the cere- bral cortex in the normal neonatal SD rats early after birth.After HI insult,the Nestin-positive cells had increased in the injured areas of the cortex and in contralateral mirror areas,especially around the injured areas.Peak Nestin ex- pression was 3 days after insult.In the acupuncture+HIE group,Nestin positive cells were significantly increased when compared with that in the HIE group,the peak was postponed,and the peak was longer than in the HIE group. The Nestin positive cells decreased,were seldom seen,and were not different among three groups 28 days after the HI insult.Conclusions Endogenous neural stem cells in the cerebral cortex were increased by acupuncture in hy- poxia-ischemic in neonatal rats,and acupuncture made the peak of Nestin expression longer.
