2.Transcranial Doppler detection of cerebral vascular reserve
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(8):594-599
Diastolic and systolic dysfunction of cerebral artery is an important pathophysioiogical basis of the occurrence and development of cerebrovascular diseases, and is also the presence of decreased cerebrovascular reserve capacity. Cerebrovascular myogenic and metabolic regulation abilities can be evaluated by different methods so as to reflect cerebrovascular reserve capacity, of those, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is the most widely used one. Various diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and carotid atherosclerosis also have great effect on cerebrovascular reserve capacity.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of insomnia on heart rate variety(HRV) in aged hypertension patients. Methods259 subjects were divided into healthy group (74 cases),simple hypertension group (71 cases),coexisting hypertension and insomnia group (114 cases) which was sub-grouped to <5 years,5-9 years and ≥-10 years according to the duration of insomnia.All subjects had 24 h recordings of ECG.The data of HRV time domain (SDNN,SDANN and ASDNN) were collected and compared.ResultsHRV time domain was lower in healthy group than in the other two groups (F=12.02,10.54 and 4.27,P<0.01),and decreased more significantly in coexisting hypertension and insomnia group compared with simple hypertension group(P<0.01).The values of SDNN and SDANN in 5-9 years and ≥ 10 years subgroups decreased as compared with < 5 years subgroup (F=8.63 and 4.54,P<0.01),and these values further lower in ≥10 years subgroup than in 5-9 years subgroup (P< 0.01 ). ConclusionsInsomnia may lead to more serious disorder of automatic nervous system and further aggravated disorders appear in the elderly with hypertension along with increasing years of insomnia.

Objective To explore the effect of collaborative nursing on the quality of life and nursing of stroke patients. Methods Toally 84 care-givers for 84 stroke patients hospitalized during February 2014 to March 2016 were chosen. In the control group(hospitalized from Feburary 2013 to Feburary 2014), traditional nursing was carried out, while in the research group(hospitalized from March 2014 to March 2016), the collaborative care intervention was done. The comparisons were done between the two groups in terms of quality of life and care ability by the GHQ-28 quality of life scale assessment, family caregiver task inventory (FCTI) before the intervention and 4 weeks after the intervention. Results Before the intervention, the two groups had no significant differences in life quality and care ability (all P > 0.05). After the intervention, the scores on symptoms, anxiety, depression, insomnia and social dysfunction were all significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The scores on the care role, strain, assistance, personal emotion control, family assessment and community resources, and adjustment of life to meet the care needs were all significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions The collaborative care is effective in improving the quality of life of stroke patients. It can improve the care ability of the caregiver.

Aim: To observe the effect of ursolic acid(UA)on the proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC)induced by high-level glucose and explore its relationship with p38MAPK signal transduction pathway.Methods: The proliferation of VSMC induced by high-level glucose(25 mmol/L glucose)was adopted as model,the inhibition of UA on the proliferation of VSMC was measured by MTT assay,and the expression lev-els of phospho-p38MAPK was detected by cell-based ELISA as well as the expression of c-fos protein was exam-ined by SABC method.Results: UA(20 μmol/L and 40 μmoL/L)inhibited glucose-induced proliferation of VSMC(P <0.05).Compared with the group subjected to glucose induction,UA decreased the expression levels of phosphorylated p38MAPK(P < 0.05),and also inhibited c-fos expression.Conclusion: UA suppressed glucose induced proliferation of VSMC,which might be related to the suppression of the activation of p38MAPK signal transduction pathway,and thereby down-regulated c-fos expression.
