Objective To observe the change of nitric oxide(NO) content and explore its cell source following brain ischemic injury. Methods We established the model of transient global brain ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in rat. The concentration of NO and its cell source were investigated by detection of NO content, NDP histochemical staining, double label technique of immunofluorescence and stereological analysis after brain ischemia. Results (1)The content of NO increased at 12 h and peaked on days 1~3 after IR. The content of NO decreased gradually on the 5th day after IR. (2)The density of NDP positive cells increased and peaked on the 1st day after IR. The positive cells distributed mainly in the temporal cortex, hippocampus and periventricular zone after IR. The positive cells were found to reduce gradually or disappear on the 14th day after IR. (3)Few NDP positive and GFAP immunofluorescence positive cells were found to coexist at the early period of IR(1~3 d). The percentage of coexisting cells was 10%~15%. Conclusion The content of NO increases at the early period after ischemic brain injury. The main cell type to produce NO is neuron.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by progressive cognitive and behavioral disorders.Clinical manifestations include memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, impaired visual spatial function, executive power, decreased computing power, personality and behavior changes and so on.At present, the incidence of dementia is increasing year by year, causing a huge social burden, and there is still no effective treatment.Therefore, many scholars try to prevent and delay the occurrence of cognitive impairment through the identification and control of risk factors.Combining with previous studies, nap is helpful for the maintenance and consolidation of memory.This article discusses the effect of nap on cognitive function and its related mechanisms.First, nap can improve cognitive function, but it depends on the length, the frequency of the nap, and the difficulty of the task.Second, the effect of nap on cognition may be through inflammatory response, neuroendocrine, Aβ and gene polymorphism.In addition, this paper also proposes future research prospects in terms of standardized research methods, deepening research on relevant mechanisms, and lifestyle interventions in view of the lack of previous research.

Objective:To investigate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability changes in the deep white matter (DWM) during hypoperfusion caused by asymptomatic cerebral artery stenosis.Methods:The CT perfusion weighted imaging (CTP) images of 36 patients with asymptomatic severe stenosis and unilateral internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery, admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to April 2020, which revealed the prolongation of contrast medium delayed contrast medium max-time (Tmax), were analyzed. The regions of interest (ROIs) in the DWM of CTP images at the body of lateral ventricle and centrum semiovale, were drawn respectively: the anterior DWM (ROIa), middle DWM (ROIm), and posterior DWM (ROIp) in the stenotic side of maximum intensity projection maps; DWM with normal-appeared Tmax (ROI1), DWM with relatively delayed Tmax (ROI2), and DWM with obviously delayed Tmax (ROI3) in the stenotic side of Tmax maps; and their mirrored ROI on the healthy side. Statistical analysis was used to compare the value differences of Tmax, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and transfer constant (Ktrans) between/among the ROIs.Results:As compared with the mirrored ROI in the healthy side, respectively, the ROIa and ROIm in the stenotic side had significantly prolonged Tmax, significantly decreased CBF, and significantly increased Ktrans at the body of lateral ventricle ( P<0.05). As compared with the mirrored ROI in the healthy side, respectively, the ROIa and ROIp in the stenotic side had significantly prolonged Tmax, significantly decreased CBF, and significantly increased Ktrans at the centrum semiovale ( P<0.05). As compared with the mirrored ROI in the healthy side, respectively, the ROI2 and ROI3 in the stenotic side had significantly prolonged Tmax, significantly decreased CBF, and significantly increased Ktrans at the body of lateral ventricle and centrum semiovale ( P<0.05). In the stenotic side at the body of lateral ventricle, as compared with the mirrored ROIp, the ROIa and ROIm had significantly prolonged Tmax, significantly decreased CBF, and significantly increased Ktrans ( P<0.05). In the stenotic side at the body of lateral ventricle and centrum semiovale, as compared with the mirrored ROI1, the ROI2 and ROI3 had significantly prolonged Tmax, significantly decreased CBF, and significantly increased Ktrans ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The BBB permeability of DWM in the regions with delayed contrast medium Tmax is augmented when asymptomatic cerebral artery stenosis causes cerebral hypoperfusion.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of clinically isolated fungal strains and their resistance to common antifungal drugs in Shandong province.Methods:Through the Shandong Children’s Bacterial & Fungal Drug Resistance Surveillance and Research Collaborative Network, a total of 1 030 fungi were collected in 46 hospitals of Shandong province from January 1 to December 31, 2018. The source and type of strains were analyzed, and antifungal drug sensitivity tests were performed by using the micro-dilution method. Whonet 5.6 and SPSS 22.0 were applied to analyze the data.Results:The overall main strains were Candida albicans (38.74%, 399/1 030), Candida tropicalis (16.99%, 175/1 030) and Candida parapsilosis (16.41%, 169/1 030); the main fungi strains in child patients were C. albicans (52.50%, 63/120), C. parapsilosis (12.50%, 15/120) and C. tropicalis (9.17%, 11/120); the main fungi strains in adult patients were C. albicans (36.37%, 331/910), C. tropicalis (17.03%, 155/910) and C. parapsilosis (15.27%, 139/910). The isolation rate of main Candida strains from January to March and August to December was much higher than that of other months. The drug resistance rates of C. albicans to fluconazole and voriconazole were 7.14% and 7.43%, respectively, and the drug resistance rates to itraconazole were 50.44%. The resistance rates of C. tropicalis to fluconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole were 29.05%, 23.29% and 48.65%, respectively. The sensitivity rates of C. parapsilosi to fluconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole were 93.06%, 93.75% and 94.44%, respectively. Candida glabrata showed a dose-dependent sensitivity rate of 2.33% to fluconazole. Analysis of 244 blood fungi strains showed that non-candida albicans bacteremia accounted for 70.08%. In the pathogen spectrum covering 92.22%, fluconazole was sensitive to 64.65% of the pathogens, voriconazole was 68.88%, and amphotericin B was 88.75%. After quantification, the effective rates of fluconazole, voriconazole and amphotericin B in the clinical treatment of fungal bacteremia were 70.10%, 74.69% and 96.23%, respectively. Among them, the sensitivity rate of voriconazole to C. tropicalis was lower than that of fluconazole. Conclusions:Candida is the main clinical fungus isolates in hospitals of Shandong province. The resistance rate of C. tropicalis to azole antifungal drugs is on the rise, and the sensitivity of other Candida species to clinically used antifungal drugs is basically stable.
