Objective To explore the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cognitive ability of patients after ischemic stroke. Methods 45 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) after ischemic stroke were randomly assigned into control group (n=22) and observation group (n=23). Both groups received routine drugs and cognitive training. The observation group received rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (5 Hz, 80% motor threshold) in addition for 4 weeks. Results The score of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), P300 latencies and amplitudes improved after treatment in both groups (P<0.001), and were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The MoCA score was negatively related with P300 latency (r=-0.851, P<0.05). There was no severe adverse effect during the treatment. Conclusion rTMS could improve the cognitive ability of patients with MCI after stroke, with little side effect.

Objective To evaluate the effects of inhalation sevoflurane in the early ischemia and reperfusion on pulmonary inflammatory response in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Methods Forty patients with rheumatic heart disease scheduled for elective valve replacement were randomly assigned into 2 groups (20 patients in each group): control group and sevoflurane group. In sevoflurane group, 2% sevoflurane was inhaled for 15 min before and after the ascending aorta was blocked, and also before and after the ascending aorta was opened. Paitents in control group didn′t inhale sevoflurane. Time was defined as the followings: after anesthesia and before skin incision (T0), immediately before ECC (T1), immediately after ECC (T2), 2 h after ECC (T3), 6 h after ECC (T4) and 24 h after ECC (T5). At T0, T2, T3, T5, the radial artery blood was obtained to detect the levels of plasma tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-8(IL-8) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1). At T1, T2, the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein blood was obtained to detect the neutrophil count and calculate the differences between the vein and artery. At T0, T2, T3, T4, T5, the arterial blood gas was detected and differences of alveoli-arterial oxygen pres [P(A- a)O2], oxygenation index (OI), static compliance (Cst) were calculated. Results The levels of plasma TNF-α, IL-8 and sICAM-1 were higher at T2, T3, T5 than those at T0 in two groups (P<0.05). The levels of plasma TNF-α, IL-8 and sICAM-1 were decreased in sevoflurane group at T2 and T3, compared with those in control group (P<0.05). The neutrophil counts of pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and the differences between the vein and artery were higher at T2 than those at T0 in two groups (P<0.05). The neutrophil counts of pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and the differences between the vein and artery were decreased in sevoflurane group at T2 compared with those of control group (P<0.05). The level of P(A- a)O2 was higher at T2, T3, T4 and T5 than that at T0 in two groups (P<0.05). The level of OI was decreased at T2, T3, T4 and T5 compared with that at T0 in two groups (P<0.05). The level of Cst was decreased at T2, T3 and T4 compared with that at T0 in two groups (P<0.05). The level of P(A-a)O2 was decreased in sevoflurane group at T2, T3 and T4 compared with that in control group (P<0.05). The levels of OI and Cst were higher in sevoflurane group at T2, T3 and T4 compared with those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Severe pulmonary inflammation often occurs during cardiac surgery with ECC, and it can be relieved by inhalation of sevoflurane in the early ischemia and reperfusion.
