BACKGROUND: There are obvious neuropsychological changes after stroke besides the damage of cognitive function, and the symptoms of depression and anxiety which are also very conspicuous.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the related characteristics of neuropsychological changes after stroke by means of neuropsychological methods.DESIGN: A case-control study.SETTING: Department of Psychology, the Third Hospital of Daqing; Department of Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Sixty stroke inpatients (33 males and 27 female)aged from 42 to 75 years old with an average of (59.3±8.8) years old were selected from the Department of Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between October 2001 and June 2002. Totally 49 cases had cerebral infarction and 11 cases had cerebral hemorrhage; 31 cases had single focus and 29 cases had multiple focuses (including 2 focuses or more); 20 cases had lesion in left hemisphere,21 cases had lesion in right hemisphere and 19 cases had bilateral lesions. The lesion was at temporal lobe in 6 cases, at occipital lobe in 2 cases, at frontoparietal temporal lobe in 15 cases, at internal capsule in 4 cases, at basal nuclei in 19 cases, at lateral ventricle in 4 cases, at thalam us in 4 cases, at cerebellum in 1 case and at multiple sites in 5 cases. The focal size was < 15 mm in 33 cases and ≥ 15 mm in 27 cases. Sixty residents (33 males and 27 females) aged 42to 75 years with an average of (58.7±7.9) years old were selected simultaneously from the communities and suburbs of Harbin city as the controls and they all had no cerebral and organic lesion, mental disorder, severe somatic diseases and family history of mental disease.INTERVENTIONS: The poststroke mental status of the patients at stable recovery period was assessed with symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90, consisted of 90 items and 9 symptoms, scored by 5 grades of 0 to 4, including 0 as never, 1 as mild, 2 as moderate, 3 as a little severe and 4 as severe;Hamilton depression scale (HAMD, consisted of 24 items, including 11 somatic symptoms scored by 0 to 2 grades and 13 mental symptoms scored by 0 to 4 grades; the total score > 24 points was taken as severe depression, 17 to 24 as moderate depression, 7 to 16 as mild depression, < 7 as no depression), self-rating depressive scale (SDS, consists of 20 items, evaluated according to the occurrence frequency of the symptom, and classified into 4 grades; the score was 1, 2, 3 and 4 points for the forward scored questions, but 4, 3, 2 and 1 point for the backward scored questions; the highest total score was 80 points; the depressive severity=accumulative scores of each item/80×100, the depressive index ranged 25 to 100, the index < 0.5 was taken as no depression, 0.5 to 0.59 as mild depression,0.6 to 0.69 as moderate depression, > 0.7 as severe depression) and selfrating anxiety scale (SAS, consisted of 20 items, scored by 4 grades, mainly evaluated according to the occurrencefrequency of the symptoms. The forward scores were 1, 2, 3 and 4 points, and the backward scores were 4,3, 2 and 1 point; the total score multiplied by 1.25, and then the integer was taken as the standard score, the lower the better, and the delimitative value was 50. The total score of anxiety < 50 points was taken as normal,50 to 60 as mild anxiety, 61 to 70 as moderate anxiety, > 70 as severe anxiety). According to the different characters of disease, the patients with moderate depression and above were given suitable psychotherapy and psychiatric drugs for 4 weeks as a course.of the 4 scales between stroke patients with different lesion natures, foin the patients accompanied by depression. RESULTS: All the 60 stroke patients and 60 eases in the control group were involved in the analysis and SAS between the stroke group and control group: All the total scores were higher in the stroke group than in the control group [(131.45 ±18.89), (94.25 ±9.08) points; (18.73 ±6.54), (8.60 ±2.39)points; (56.49±11.85), (41.63±9.91) points: (40.08±6.55), (28.72±1.84)the 4 scales between stroke patients with different lesion natures, focal sites and focal sizes: In the stroke group, the total scores were higher in the patients with lesion in left hemisphere, cortical lesion, multiple focuses and large focal size (≥ 15 mm) than in those with lesion in right hemisphere, subcortical lesion, single focus and small focal size (< 15 mm)(t=1.92 to 4.31, P < 0.05), but the scores were almost the same between the patients with cerebral infarction and those with cerebral hemorrhage accompanied by depression before and after treatment: 21 patients had moderate depressive symptoms and above, and their total scores of SCL90, HAMD, SDS and SAS were obviously higher than those in the control group (t=7.45 to 13.75, 9.83 to 21.20, P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The poststroke neuropsychological changes are more obvious, and the changes are associated with the lesion location, focal size and focal site, but have no close correlation with the lesion nature.After psychological interventions, the depressive emotion is markedly ameliorated in the patients with obvious depressive symptoms and it is then indicated that poststroke patients should be given psychological interventions.

We present the binding ability of a new peptide (CMPQVMPMC-) with dental enamel after being evaluated in the present study. Under a standard procedure, the recovery of M13 filamentous phage was greatly enhanced by displaying the peptide in phage coat protein p III. Then the cyclic peptide was synthesized using a solid method. The effect of the cyclic peptide in vitro biomineralization was tested in a single-diffusion microtiter plate gel system. Absorbance at 405 nm of each sample was recorded for 24 h at every 6 h intervals. The relatively increased values of each sample were expressed as percentages relative to the blank group (100%). The cyclic peptide resulted in a concentration-dependent delayed nucleation. In addition, the overall values of peptide groups at the end of 24 h were lower than those in the control group but much higher than those in the BSA control group.

Objective To investigate effect of paclitaxel on expression of programmed death ligand-1 ( PD-L1 ) in the surface of cervical cancer TC-1 cells and its mechanism. Methods ①The cells were divided into two groups: paclitaxel group, paclitaxel combined with PKD blocker (G? 6976) group. There were 4 concentration gradient and 5 holes for each group, and each hole has its corresponding concentration of drugs. Influence of paclitaxel on TC-1 cell viability and effect of PKD blocker G? 6976 on IC50 value of paclitaxel were evaluated by MTT method.②The cells were divided into 0. 9% sodium chloride solution ( NS) group and paclitaxel group, There were 5 holes of each group. Effect of paclitaxel on PD-L1 expression on the surface of TC-1 cells were measured by immunohistochemistry.③The cells were divided into 4 groups:NS+DMSO group, G? 6976 group, paclitaxel group and paclitaxel+G? 6976 group. There were 5 holes for each group. Effect of paclitaxel and G? 6976 on PD-L1 expression on the surface of TC-1 cells were measured by immunohistochemistry. The expressions of PD-L1 on the surface of cells were measured by immunofluorescence treated with different drugs. Results The IC50 value of paclitaxel was 40 μg·mL-1 in paclitaxel group, and 38. 9 μg·mL-1 in paclitaxel combined with PKD blocker G? 6976 group, without significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). The expression of PD-L1 in the surface of TC-1 cells were significantly higher in paclitaxel group than in negative control group [(88. 48±13. 44)% vs. (39. 59±5. 99)%, P<0. 05]. The expression of PD-L1 in the surface of TC-1 cells was (79. 7%±4. 7)% after treatment with paclitaxel combined with PKD blocker G? 6976 for 24 h, and it was significantly lower than that in paclitaxel group [(96. 8±2. 5)%, P<0. 05]. Conclusion Paclitaxel promotes the expression of PD-L1 in the surface of TC-1 cells, which could be significantly inhibited by blocking PKD pathway. Paclitaxel may exert its effect through PKD pathway.
