Objective To investigate the correlation between fatigue and cognitive impairment and depression after lacunar stroke.Methods A total of 103 patients with lacunar infarction admitted from September 2009 to November 2010 were enrolled.Post-stroke fatigue was evaluated with the Fatigue Scale (FS-14) and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS-9); cognitive function was evaluated with the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA); and depression was evaluated with the self-rating depression scale (SDS) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD).Results There were 34 patients (33.01％) (FSS-9) and 45 patients (43.69％) (FS-14) had fatigue.Of the 34 fatigue patients determined with FSS-9 scores,20 had cognitive impairment,26 had depression,and 16 had both cognitive impairment and depression.The Pearson correlation analysis showed that the FS-14 scores were siguificantly negatively correlated with the scores of MMSE (r =-0.307,P =0.002) and MoCA (r =-0.457,P=0.000),and significantly positively correlated with the scores of SDS (r =0.368,P =0.000) and HAMD (r =0.526,P =0.000); the FSS-9 scores were significantly negatively correlated with the scores of MMSE (r =-0.292,P=0.003) and MoCA (r=-0.340,P=0.000),and significantly positively correlated with the scores of SDS (r =0.403,P =0.000) and HAMD (r =0.564,P =0.000).Conclusions The incidence of fatigue,cognitive impairment and depression was higher.There was a certain correlation between fatigue and cognitive impairment and depression.

Background and purpose:Metabolism change is one of the main characteristics of the tumor de-velopment. Many studies have conifrmed that cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) plays a critical role in hydro-carbon metabolism of cancer cells. This study aimed to explore the effect of ACSS2 on cellular proliferation, apoptosis and migration of A549 cells by RNA interference.Methods:The ACSS2 interference fragment ACSS2-siRNA and neg-ative control were designed and synthesized for RNA interference followed by the transient transfection in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line A549. Real-time lfuorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) was used to detect ACSS2 mRNA expression. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), lfow cytometry and wound healing assay were used to detect cell proliferation, apoptosis rate and migration.Results:The expression of ACSS2 mRNA was signiifcantly decreased after transfection with the interference fragment ACSS2-siRNA in NSCLC cell line A549. The proliferation and migration activity of ACSS2-siRNA treated cells were decreased significantly compared with the control group. The apoptosis rate, especially the early apoptosis, was increased..Conclusion:Knockdown of the ACSS2 expression in NSCLC cell line A549 can signiifcantly inhibit the cell proliferation, migration ability and pro-mote the apoptosis rate, especially early apoptosis. This study indicates that ACSS2 may contribute to the progression of human lung adenocarcinoma and may have the potential to serve as a novel therapeutic target.
