International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;20(2):156-160
Vascular cognitive impaiment (VCI) refers to a large class of clinical syndromes caused by vascular risk factors,obvious or not obvious cerebrovascular diseases from mild cognitive impairment to dementia.Looking for a physiologically controllable and repeatable animal model is critical for the systematic research of the VCI pathophysiological processes and the evaluation of new treatment methods.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation and outcome of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).Methods The clinical data of 233 patients with SARS admitted to China-Japan Friendship Hospital from April 2003 to June 2003 were analyzed,including clinical manifestations,laboratory findings,chest radiograph,outcome and mortality of SARS.Results There were 115 male and 118 female patients in this cohort,aged 13-86 (mean 42 8?18 5yr);43 3%of the patients had one or two kinds of underlying diseases;73 0% of the patients had a history of SARS close contact. Incubation period was 1-21 days (mean 4 9?4 1d).The initial symptoms were fever in 86 3% of the patients.The respiratory symptoms were found after the onset of 1-2 weeks.The laboratory abnormalities were decreased in WBC (56 7%) and lymphocytes (78 5%).Corticosteriod was used in 69 5% of the patients.There were 10 deaths (4 3%).The elder age,underlying diseases,continued high fever, thrombocytopenia,leucocytosis and bilateral lung involvement were the risk factors.Conclusion SARS is a new and strongly contagious disease,which mainly affects youth and people in their prime life.It has its own characteristic clinical manifestations.There is high mortality in severe cases.The prognosis is poor in patients complicated with diabetes,leucocytosis,lymphocytopenia,thrombocytopenia and elevated serum LDH and CPK.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value on the determination of the peripheral blood ICAM 1 level in Graves's disease(GD).Methods:The serum soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1(sICAM 1)concentration were analyzed by ELISA and the expression of ICAM 1(CD54 +) on PB lymphocytes in 37 GD patients and 22 normal subject were measured,while TsAb,TpoAb,TGAb;CD4 +,CD3 +,CD8 +,CD19 +,CD25 +were examined by FACS.Each marker between the two groups and the positive rate between the TsAb and sICAM 1 whe compared.In addition ,the relationship between the ICAM 1 level on PB and immunity markers in GD patients were analysed.Results:The mean sICAM 1 concentration was significantly higher in untreatd GD patients than in normal controls(P

Objective To investigate effect of alendronate on OPG and RANKL in periprosthetic osdeolysis induced by polyethylene particles.Methods Twelve rabbits which had been implanted a titanium plug in femur by intercondylar notch were divided into two groups randomly,polyethylene particles were injected into the left knee joint,one received alendronate,and the other placebo as control.After 12 weeks,all rabbits were sacrificed.Periprosthetic tissues were observed by ELISA.Results The concentration of OPG in the experimental group was not higher than that of the control (P >0.05 ).But the concentration of RANKL in the experimental group was lower(P <0.01 ).And specific value of OPG/RANKL was higher in the experimental group ( P < 0.05 ).Conclusion The therapy of alendronate can change the concentration of RANKL and specific value of OPG/RANKL in periprosthetic osdeolysis induced by polyethylene particles,inhibit aseptic loosening of prosthesis in rabbits.

Objective To learn the degree of the asthmatic patients'understanding of the disease, and to provide references for formulating the plan of the asthma patient's education and management infuture.Methods One hundred and one outpatients were surveyed by questionnaire face to face.Results Among 101 patients,the percentages of mild intermittent,mild persistent,moderate persistent and severepersistent asthma assessed by current symptom were 23%,29%,30%,18%.Among these patients thosewho understanding the inflammatory nature of asthma account occupied 70.3%,those who realizing the importance of inhaled corticosteroids(ICS)and taking ICS as the first-line medicine for asthma occupied67.3%,those who knowing the indication about rational use of short-acting beta-2-agonists(SABA)occupied 88.1%,those who realizing the goal of asthmatic therapy occupied 71.3%.All these results were significantly better than both the reporter in the asthma insights and reality in Asia-Pacific and the realizing degree to asthma of the respiratory professionals in Beijing's urban district hospitals in 1997.Conclusion After long term systematic education and management,asthmatic patient's understanding of the disease has been improved greatly.

Objective To realize the incidence of healthcare-associated infection (HAI),the rate of invasive procedure and related infection rate,use of antimicrobial agents and distribution of pathogens in gereral intensive care units (GICUs) of hospitals in China.Methods HAI cross-sectional investigation data of GICUs reported to China HAI Surveillance Net-work were summarized and analyzed.Results Of 1 313 hospitals,621(47.30%)had GICUs;a total of 5 887 patients were surveyed,1 634 patients developed 1 962 times of infection,HAI prevalence rate and case rate was 27.76% and 33.33%respectively.The main infection sites were lower respiratory tract(70.39%),urinary tract (12.79%)and blood(2.86%). The application rate of urinary catheter,arteriovenous catheter and ventilator was 53.52%(n=3 151),37.05%(n=2 181) and 35.62%(n=2 097)respectively,and related prevalence of urinary tract infection,pneumonia and blood stream infection was 4.67%,20.41%,and 0.60%,respectively,which accounting for 58.57%,30.99%,and 23.21 % of urinary tract infection,pneumonia and blood stream infection respectively,the overall prevalence of above invasive procedure-re-lated infection accounted for 29.97%(588/1 962)of the overall HAI prevalence.A total of 1 795 isolated pathogens causing HAI were detected,the top three were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20.78%),Acinetobacter baumannii(17.99%)and Klebsiella pneumoniae (11 .64%).The usage rate of antimicrobial agents was 71 .58%(n=4 214), rate of specimens delivered for detection was up to 75.27%(2 553/3 392).Conclusion Prevalence and antimicrobial use in patients in GICUs are all high,all kinds of invasive procedure are frequent,30% of HAI are related to inva-sive procedure;infection caused by non-fermentative bacteria is serious,pathogen detection is well performed.

Objective To investigate the effect of Omithogalum caudatum Ait(OCA)on apoptosis of Candida albicans,illustrated the antifungal mechanism of OCA.Methods Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI double stainingwas used to detect the effect of OCA on the apoptosis of C.albicans;JC-1 and DCFH-DA staining were used to detectthe effect of OCA on mitochondrial membrane potential(MTP)and reactive oxygen species(ROS)of C.albicans.Results OCA had a good antifungal activity,the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)and the minimum fungicidal concentration(MFC)were 8mg/mL and 32mg/mL respectively.OCA could induceapoptosis of C.albicans,promote the reduction of MTP and increase of ROS.Conclusion OCA induced cell apoptosismainly through disrupting mitochondrial function.
