Objective To explore the difference of gene expression profiling between normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rabbits. Methods cDNA chip of normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits were downloaded from GEO database. The chip was analyzed and screened by Bioconductor software, and function enrichment and pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes were analyzed by Cytoscape software. Then 6 adult male Japanese rabbits were used, and randomly divided into normal control group (n=3) and SAH model group (n=3). Rabbit SAH models were established by cisterna secondary-blood-injection method. RNA data of normal basilar artery specimens on the 0 day and basilar artery specimens after SAH on the 5-day were used to validate the parts of differentially expressed genes by qRT-PCR. Results A total of 4356 differentially expressed genes were found in normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits. Among them, 920 genes were considered to be significant with P-value<0.05, such as GRIK1, MYH13, ZNF45, SAA3, RLN1, MSR1 and others. Function enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes were involved in regulation of Ca2+transmembrane transporter activity, negative regulation of ion transmembrane transport, regulation of potassium ion transport, positive regulation of JAK-STAT signaling cascades and other biological processes. Pathway analysis showed that calcium signaling pathway, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and other signaling pathways maybe related with the differentially expressed genes. qRT-PCR verification showed that the expression of MSR1 in SAH model group was consistent with that of the chip result. Conclusion The gene expressions of basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits are significantly different, and MSR1 gene can be used as a potential target for studying the pathological mechanism of CVS.

Objective To study incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the acute phase and follow-up period after stroke, and to investigate risk factors of DVT. Methods This was a prospective study at multi-centers. Ultrasonography was used for detecting DVT on both lower extremities in all patients at 10-14 days after the onset of stroke. All patients were followed up for 6 months after discharge. The incidence of DVT was examined in the acute phase and in the follow-up period of stroke. A variety of patient and treatment related factors were compared between stroke patients with DVT and without DVT to identify DVT risk factors. Results The incidence of DVT in the acute period of stroke was 4. 49%. Among DVT patients, 51.6% patients presented clinical DVT symptoms. By multiple factors logistic regression analysis,age ( ≥70 years, OR = 1.63, 95% CI 1.08-2. 84), bedridden( OR =4. 85, 95% CI 2.65-9. 68 ), wells score ≥ 2 ( OR = 3.96, 95% CI 1.86-7. 86 ), lower limbs NIHSS score ≥ 3 ( OR = 4. 56, 95% CI 2. 07-8. 85 ), high D-dimer ( OR = 3.45, 95% CI 2. 01-8. 52 ), low BI scores ( OR = 2. 98, 95% CI 1.52-6. 47 ), rehabilitation therapy ( OR = 1.82, 95% CI 1.22-3.43 ) and anticoagulant therapy ( OR =1.91,95% CI 1. 34-4. 92 ) were independent risk factors of DVT in the acute phase of stroke. Among them, the rehabilitation therapy and anticoagulant therapy were protective factors. The incidence of DVT in the follow-up periods was 1. 51%. Age ( ≥ 70 years, OR = 1.82, 95% CI 1.21-3.98 ), bedridden after discharge( OR = 5. 12, 95% CI 2. 82-11.32), lower limbs NIHSS score ≥3 ( OR = 4. 25, 95% CI 2. 11-7. 87), low BI score( OR = 2. 18, 95% CI 1.18-6.23 )at the time of discharge and DVT in acute period (OR =3.81,95%CI 1.87-7.48)were independent risk factors of DVT in the follow-up period of stroke.Conclusions Stroke patients, particularly old-aged stroke patients, are a high-risk group of developing DVT. 48.4% DVT patients had no clinical DVT symptoms but were diagnosed only by ultrasonography.There are multiple independent risk factors of DVT after stroke. It is necessary to monitor and prevent DVT in the stroke patients with the risk factors. The rehabilitation therapy and anticoagulant therapy may decrease incidence of DVT.

Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2014;34(11):1342-1346
OBJECTIVETo observe the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) protein in the lung tissue of rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to evaluate the intervention and mechanism of Heche Chongcao Capsule (HCC).
METHODSThe COPD rat model was prepared by exposure to cigarettes smoke plus intratracheal injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Forty successfully modeled SD rats were randomly divided into the COPD model group, the control group, the low dose HCC group, the medium dose HCC group, and the high dose HCC group, 8 in each group. Meanwhile, a normal control group consisting of 6 rats was also set up. HCC at 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 g/kg was administered to rats in the 3 dose HCC groups respectively by gastrogavage combined with Theophylline Sustained Release Tablet (TSRT). Rats in the control group were administered with TSRT by gastrogavage at 4.5 mg/kg, 1 mL/100 g each time, once daily. All medication lasted for 4 successive weeks. Equal volume of distilled water was administered by gastrogavage to rats in the COPD model group and the normal control group. Morphological changes of the lung tissue were observed under microscope. The expression of TNF-α protein in the lung tissue were also detected using Real-time PCR.
RESULTSUnder electron microscope, the cilium in the tracheal epithelium was disorderly arranged, type I and II alveolar cells were degenerated, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were swollen, the lamellar body was emptied, and free fragment could be seen inside alveolar space. Compared with the model group, all lesions were somewhat ameliorated in all medicated groups, especially in the medium dose HCC group. Compared with the model group, the expression of TNF-α protein decreased in all medicated groups, especially in the medium and low dose HCC groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of TNF-α protein decreased in the medium and low dose HCC groups (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONHCC could effectively regulate the expression of TNF-α protein and inhibit airway inflammation reaction in COPD rats.
