Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of cerebral artery stenosis and its risk factors in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke examined with MRI and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) were divided into either a stenosis group or a non-stenosis group according to whether they had cerebral artery stenosis or not.The patients in the stenosis group were redivided into a simple intracranial stenosis,simple extracranial stenosis,and intracranial + extracranial stenosis subgroups according to their stenotic sites; they were redivided into either a young and middle-aged subgroup (<60) or an elderly subgroup (≥60) according to their age; they were redivided into either a single-branch lesion subgroup or multibranch lesion subgroup according to the number of vascular stenosis.The distribution characteristics and influencing factors of cerebral artery stenosis were analyzed.Results A total of 232 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,and 114 of them (62.0%) were simple intracranial stenosis,30 (16.3%) were simple extracranial stenosis,and 40 (21.7%) were intracranial+ extracranial stenosis.The patients with anterior circulation stenosis (76.6%) were more common than those with posterior circulation stenosis (33.7%).They were mainly in the middle cerebral artery (64.4%) and posterior cerebral artery (53.8%) respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR] 1.049,95% confidence interval [CI] 1.015-1.084; P =0.005),hypertension (OR 10.063,95% CI 4.402-23.004; P < 0.001),diabetes (OR 3.873,95% CI 1.141-13.147; P =0.030),smoking (OR 3.311,95 % CI 1.112-9.855; P =0.031),and fibrinogen (OR 6.085,95% CI 1.396-26.533; P=0.016) were the independent risk factors for cerebral artery stenosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke; hypertension (OR 10.779,95% CI 4.468-26.007; P< 0.001),diabetes (OR 3.593,95% CII.018-12.685; P =0.047),and smoking (OR 4.408,95% CI 1.403-13.826; P =0.011) were the independent risk factors for simple intracranial artery stenosis; hypertension (OR 6.143,95% CI 1.838-20.537; P=0.003),diabetes (OR 8.179,95% CI 1.844-36.287; P=0.006),and fibrinogen (OR 2.410,95% CI 1.046-5.551; P =0.039) were the independent risk factors for simple extracranlal artery stenosis.C reactive protein (CRP) level of the intracranial + extracranial stenosis group was significantly higher than that of the simple intracranial stenosis (P=0.001) and simple extracranial stenosis (P =0.018) groups.There was no significant difference between the two groups,but the mean level of the 3 groups was higher than that of the normal value.The simple intracranial stenosis and the simple extracranial stenosis were most common in the young and middle-aged group,and the simple intracranial stenosis and the intracranial + extracranial stenosis were more common in the elderly group.The age (P=0.036) and uric acid level (P=0.006) in the subgroup of multiple branches stenosis were significantly higher than those in the subgroup of single branch stenosis,but only age (OR 1.030,95% CI 1.003-1.057; P =0.028) was significantly independent correlated with the multiple branches stenosis.Conclusions Intracranial artery stenosis is common in cerebral artery stenosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke.The proportion of intracranial + extracranlal stenosis increases sfightly with age.Age,hypertension,diabetes,smoking,and fibrinogen are the independent risk factors for cerebral artery stenosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Hypertension and diabetes are the common independent risk factors for simple intracranial and extracranial artery stenosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Smoking is an independent risk factor for simple intracranial artery stenosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Fibrinogen is a simple independent risk factor for extracranial artery stenosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.CRP and uric acid may be the inflammatory predictive factors associated with the patients with acute ischemic stroke and cerebral artery stenosis.

Proteins extracted from two varieties of Chinese roses leaves were separated by two- dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) with immobilized pH gradient (IPG). Many difference proteins were isolated with molecular weights ranging 10-30 kDa and pI5-6. Three proteins of high levels observed in a gel were excised and identified using peptide mass fingerprinting and MS-MS. A summary of the identified proteins and their putative functions are presented. They are identified as eIF-5A、LEA protein and Hsp17. 5. Functions of these proteins in plant tolerance to high temperature were discussed.

Objective To evaluate DSA and MRI in diagnosing focal nodular hyperplasia(FNH) of the liver.Methods DSA and MRI findings in seven patients with pathologically-proved FNH were retrospectively analyzed.Selective hepatic arteriography with DSA,and both plain and dynamic contrastenhanced MR scans were performed in all patients.The imaging findings were retrospectively evaluated and analyzed.Results On DSA examination,all FNH lesions were hyper-vascular,which were characterized by thickened and tortuous feeding arteries.And the feeding arteries,after entering the lesions,branched off peripherally in a radiation pattern and the lesions were evenly dyed with sharp borders.In venous phase,hepatic vein drainage was demonstrated in 6 cases.On dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI,marked enhancement of the lesions was observed,which lasted until to delayed phase when the lesions still showed hyper-intensity or iso-intensity signals.Scar signal in the lesion's center was seen in three cases,which started to enhance at portal vein phase and maintained to delayed phase.Conclusion On DSA imaging,FNH lesions are characterized by thickened and tortuous feeding arteries that branch off peripherally in a radiation pattern after entering the lesions.And the hepatic vein drainage is also a common finding in venous phase.Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI can well display the abnormal signal of the central scar of FNH.The combination use of DSA and MRI can effectively improve the diagnostic accuracy for FNH.
