Objective To study of characters of memory disfunction of the patients with transient ischemic attack(TIA) in internal carotid artery system(ICAs) and vertebra-basilar artery system(VBAs) when the clinical symptoms disappeared,and to explore correlation between memory disability and illness course,frequency and persistence time of TIA.Methods 42 patients with TIA in ICAs(ICAs group),36 patients with TIA in VBAs(VBAs group) were measured by clinical remembrance scale,MMSE and Zung self-rating depressive scale in 3～7 d after the final attack.the results were compared with 30 health volunteers(normal control group).Correlation analysis was made between memory disability and illness course,frequency and persistence time of TIA.Results(1)There was no significant difference in clinical remembrance scale scores between ICAs group and VBAs group.The equivalent scale scores of clinical remembrance but insignificant figure recognition item in both TIA groups were significantly lower than that in the normal control group(all P

Objective To test the degree of acceptance and understanding of the entries for patient reported outcomes of stagnation of qi and blood;To further optimize and modify the entries. Methods A small sample pre-survey and group interviews were used to get the feedback information abut entries of patients, then the panel discussed to modify entries according to the data information. Results After a small sample pre-survey and group interviews, 11 items for modification were obtained, including the rejection in physical pain, belching and so on. Through further optimization and modification, the entries for patient reported outcomes of stagnation of qi and blood covered 41 entries in physiological domain, 11 entries in psychological domain, 1 entry in independent domain, and 8 entries in social domain. Conclusion The core part of the entries for patient reported outcomes of stagnation of qi and blood was formed, which comprehensively reflects the connotation of stagnation syndrome of qi and blood.

Objective To observe the influence of several kinase pathways such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK) , and mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 ( p38MAPK) on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway activated by Fructus Schisandrae extracts (FSE) . Methods HepG2 cells were treated by FSE for 24 hours after pretreatment with protein kinase inhibitors for 2 hours. The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2 and downstream target genes heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD (P) H quinine oxidoreductase 1(NQO1), P-glycoprotein ( P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 ( MRP2) were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) , and their protein expression levels and Nrf2 nuclear translocation were measured by Western blotting method. Results RT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of HO-1, NQO1, P-gp and MRP2 activated by FSE in HepG2 cells were inhibited by PD98059, SB203580 and Rottlerin, and the mRNA expression of Nrf2 was suppressed only by SB203580 and Rottlerin. Western blotting results showed that the mRNA expression levels of HO-1 and P-gp activated by SCE in HepG2 cells were inhibited by PD98059, SB203580 and Rottlerin. In addition, the protein expression of Nrf2 in HepG2 cytoplasm was increased by the above three inhibitors, and nuclear translocation of Nrf2 was inhibited by PD98059 and SB203580. Conclusion The mechanism of FSE activating Nrf2 pathway may be associated with the increase of Nrf2 nuclear translocation through the direct phosphorylation of Nrf2 induced by ERK and p38MAPK.

Objective:To investigate the Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with biofeedback non motor symptoms on clinical effects and serum levels of IL-6,CRP and TNF-α of Parkinson's disease.Methods:84 cases of Parkinson's disease in our hospital were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 42 cases in each group.The control group were treated with EMG and EEG biofeedback,while the experimental group were treated with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the basis of the control group.Then the serum levels of C reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),the non motor symptoms questionnaire (NMSQuest),Parkinson's disease Sleep Scale (PDSS) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) score in the two groups were observed and compared before and after the treatment.Results:Compared with before treatment,the serum levels of CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α,the NMSQuest and HAMD in the two groups decreased after the treatment,while the PDSS score increased,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05);Compared with the control group,the serum levels of CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α,NMSQuest and HAMD in the experimental group were lower,while the PDSS score was higher,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with biofeedback can reduce the serum levels of IL-6,CRP and TNF-α in patients with Parkinson's disease,which has better clinical effect on the non motor symptoms.

Objective To analyse effects of the serum levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) on antithyroid drugs (ATD) treatment in patients with incipient Graves disease (GD). Methods A total of 121 patients with incipient GD, who were used anti thyroid drugs for 12 months, were included in this study. Patients were dvided into two groups:TPOAb negative group (TPOAb≤35 IU/mL, n=49) and TPOAb positive group (TPOAb>35 IU/mL, n=72). According to the degree of TPOAb drops the TPOAb positive group was sub-divided into low level positive group (35 IU/mL1 000 IU/mL, n=20). The ATD total dosage for 12 months and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which returned to normal rate after treatment of 3, 6 and 12 months, were compared between groups. Results ATD total dose was lower in TPOAb positive group (1 743.82±265.38) mg than that of negative group (1 889.18 ±125.51) mg. The ATD total dosages were (1 759.71±230.29) mg, (1 793.75±299.02) mg, (1 731.54± 236.44) mg and (1 710.00 ± 290.73) mg for low level TPOAb positive group, medium level TPOAb positive group, high level TPOAb positive group, and very high level TPOAb positive group respectively. The recovering ratio of TSH was significantly higher in TPOAb positive group than that of TPOAb negative group after 3-month treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion TPOAb positive serum can lead to shorten the course of ATD treatment and reduce the total amount of ATD treatment in GD patients.
