Objective To examine whether electroacupuncture at the Wangu acupoint (GB 12 ) , whose position is similar to the cerebellar fastigial nucleus ,can reduce inflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus of rats with vascular dementia (VD) to provide theoretical evidence for treating VD with electroacupuncture .Methods Healthy Sprague‐Dawley rats ( n=54 ,300 -450 g) were randomly divided into three groups :sham surgery group ,VD group ,and electroacupuncture group .The ethologic scores of VD rats were evaluated and the mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines (TNF‐α,IL‐6 and IL‐1β) in the hippocampus were assessed and the hippocampal tissues were observed by hematoxylin‐eosin (HE) staining .Results Compared with VD group ,in electroacupuncture group the rats' learning ability improved significantly and the mRNA expressions of TNF‐α, IL‐6 and IL‐1β decreased . Simultaneously ,the damage extent of nerve cells in the hippocampal tissues decreased , and their morphology recovered to nearly normal .Conclusion Electroacupuncture at the Wangu acupoint can decrease the level of inflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus and reduce the damage extent of nerve cells in the hippocampus ,thus providing a new neuroprotective method for VD .

Objective To study the interference of Hongjingtian in cytokines in hippocampus of post stroke depression(PSD) rats.Methods The healthy SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:simple focal cerebral ischemia group,PSD group,Hongjingtian group of three doses [2.5,5,7.5 g/(kg?d)].PSD rats model was established.Hongjingtian group was given Hongjingtian and other groups were given normal saline.The ethological score of depression was evaluated.Pathological changes of hippocampus were observed by HE staining and the content of TNF-?,IL-1? and IL-6 in hippocampus were measured.Results Compared with normal group,the expression of the content of TNF-? and IL-1? of other groups increased,while the content of IL-6 decreased,the ethological score of depression decreased.HE staining of hippocampus showed neurocyte damaged obviously.The difference between them was significant(P0.05).Conclusion The steady state of network of cytokines in PSD experienced disequilibrium and neurocyte of hippocampus were damaged worse than that in simple focal cerebral ischemia.Hongjingtian has neuroprotective effects on PSD rats,its mechanism may through improving the damaged extent of neurocyte of hippocampus by way of reducing the content of TNF-?,IL-1? and increasing the content of IL-6 in hippocampus.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transcranial doppler(TCD)as an additional screening tool for intracranial arterial steno-occlusive disease in patients with acute ischaemic stroke(AIS)by comparing with the computed tomography angiography(CTA). Methods Two hundred and twenty-four consecutive patients who were hospitalized within 7 days of the onset of symptoms and fulfilled the criteria for the clinical di-agnosis of AIS between May 2013 and May 2014 were enrolled for the study. Among the 224 patients,there were 118 males and 106 females with an average age of 61.2±12.6 years. High-resolution brain CTA was performed after completion of TCD. Results There was slight distinction of the diag-nostic accuracy of TCD for different arteries. TCD demonstrated the most accurate diagnosis for carotid artery vascular system,with a sensitivity of 96.19%and specificity of 98.60%. For the vertebrobasilar vascular system,TCD diagnosis showed a sensitivity of 71.11%and specificity of 94.31%. TCD findings were complementary to the CTA results(real-time embolization,collateral flow patterns and steal phenomenon). Conclusion TCD shows a high diagnostic accuracy comparing to CTA in evaluating intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis in patients with AIS,especially for the carotid artery vascular system analysis within a short time interval. TCD can also provide additional real-time dynamic findings complementary to the information provided by CTA.

Objective To investigate the effect of urinary kallidinogenase on serum concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S),neuron-specific enolase (NSE),and S100β in patients with cerebral infarction (CI).Methods From June 2011 to June 2014,80 patients with CI were chosen as study objectives.All patients were divided into two groups:40 patients in study group (urinary kallidinogenase group),and 40 patients in control group.The death rate,the rate of complication and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were compared between two groups.The concentrations of H2S,NSE,and S100βwas compared between two groups.Results In study group,the death rate was 5.00％ (2/40),the rate of complication was 22.50％ (9/40);in control group,the death rate was 12.50％ (5/40),the rate of complication was 15.00％ (6/40);and no significant significance was found between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The NIHSS was (11.2 ± 3.2) in the study group,and (15.7 ± 2.7) in the control group,with statistically significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the concentrations of H2 S,NSE,and S100β of two groups were decreased significantly (P ＜0.05).At 1w,2w,and 3w,the concentrations of H2S,NSE and S100βhad statistically significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Urinary kallidinogenase has a cerebral protective effect,which can decrease the concentration of H2S,and increase the concentrations of NSE and S100βin CI patients.

ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate whether medial cerebellar nucleus may be involved in the pathogenesis of post-stroke depression (PSD)and explore the pathway that mediates this effect.Methods Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:control group,stroke group,PSD group,medial cerebellar nucleus (Med)lesion group,and superior cerebellar peduncle (xscp)lesion group.The ethological score of depression was evaluated.The neurotransmitters of Glu and GABA in the lateral hypothalamic area were detected by high performance liquid chromatography.Results Compared with those in control group,the levels of GABA and Glu expressions did not significantly differ in the lateral hypothalamic area in stroke group (P > 0.05 ).In contrast,the levels in PSD group,Med lesion group and xscp lesion group were lower than those in stroke group to different extent (P <0.01). Conclusion These results preliminarily show that medial cerebellar nucleus may participate in the pathogenesis of post-stroke depression,which may be mediated by the cerebellum-hypothalamic pathway.

Objective To preliminarily proved that the cerebellar hypothalamic pathways regulate inflammatory cytokines involved in post?stroke depression(post?stroke depression,PSD). Methods 160 male(Sprague?Dawley,SD)rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,the stroke group,PSD group,kainic acid(kainic acid,KA)damage of cerebellar fastigial nucleus group,electrical damaged decussation of superior cer?ebellar peduncle(superior cerebellar peduncle,xSCP)group. The behavioral observation were observed and expression of IL?1βand TNF?αin hip?pocampus by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the sham operation group and stroke group,PSD group,TNF?α,IL?1βcontent signif?icantly increased;and the factor of rats with KA group and xSCP group expression consistent with PSD group,there was no significant difference among the three groups. Conclusion The cerebellar fastigial nuclear may through the cerebellar hypothalamic pathways regulate inflammatory cyto?kines and participate in post stroke depression.

Purpose To explore the changes of structure of cerebellum,frontal lobe and limbic system(cingulate gyrus,hippocampus and amygdala)in poststroke depression(PSD)via diffusion tensor imaging,and to confirm that cerebellum was involved in the occurrence of PSD,and to study the correlation between cerebellum and traditional depression-related areas such as frontal lobe,limbic system(cingulate gyrus,hippocampus and amygdala).Materials and Methods A total of 39 patients with basal ganglia infarction for the first time from October 2020 to October 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University were evaluated by Hamilton depression scale(HAMD),and all subjects were divided into PSD group(19 cases)and non-PSD group(20 cases),and 20 people with no statistical difference in basic information were randomly selected as the normal control group.The fractional anisotropy(FA)values and apparent diffusion coefficient in region of interest via diffusion tensor imaging were measured.The FA values of lesion and contralateral region of interest were compared among the three groups,and the correlation between FA value and HAMD score was analyzed.Results The FA values of ROI in the prefrontal lobe,hippocampus,cingulate gyrus,corpus callosum,middle cerebellar peduncle,and inferior cerebellar crus in the PSD group were significantly different from those in the non-PSD group and normal control group(t=-0.12--0.06,all P<0.05).The FA values of cerebellum,frontal lobe and limbic system were significantly negatively correlated with HAMD scores(R2adjust=0.954,P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between the FA value of contralateral foot in the cerebellum of PSD patients and that of prefrontal lobe,hippocampus,cingulate gyrus and knee of corpus callosum(r=0.977,0.752,0.637 and 0.539,all P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion PSD patients may have changes in the white matter fiber tracts of the cerebellum,which are associated with traditional depressions.
