Objective To investigate the effect of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor on learning and memory abilities and to observe the change of nitric oxide (NO) contents in the hippocampi and the effect of nimodipine in rats.Methods With the administration of L ? nitro L arginine(L NA) into bilateral hippocami,the rat model with disorders of learning and memory abilities was established.Then the intraperitoneal injections of nimodipine were given, Y maze tests were performed, and the NO contents in the hippocampi were measured in turn.Results The experiment showed that the learning and memory abilities of model and intervention rats were worse than those of the control rats ( P

Objective To observe the ehanges in plasma OX40L level in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to investigate the relationship between OX40L level and prognosis in patients with SAP.Methods We collected 200 cases of SAP after PCI.Plasma OX40L levels were examined at different time points,including before and after stent placement,in all patients withSAP.The patients with SAP were followed up for 18 months,and the end point was adverse cardiovascular events.Results The plasma OX40L level increased more apparently after PCI than before PCI (P ＜ 0.05) and peaked at 24 hours.We followed up 185 patients successfully,including 39 (21.08％) patients with and 146 (78.92％) without adverse cardiovascular events.The mean maximum OX40L level was higher in patients with than in those without adverse events (P ＜ 0.05).Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the mean maximum OX40L level was related to adverse cardiovascular events (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion PCI may cause upregulation of plasma OX40L expression.Mean maximum OX40L level showed good clinical predictive value of occurrence of cardiovascular events 18 months after PCI.

This article aims to comprehensively review the concept, etiology, classification, classical cortical mapping, assessment, a proposed flowchart for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, mechanisms of development and recovery, prognosis, and influencing factors for post-stroke aphasia(PSA)types in the Chinese language.We emphasize the necessity and significance of neuroimaging assessment of the brain and blood vessels and neuropsychological assessment in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PSA in Chinese.We also recommend and encourage the use of the dichotomies of internal vs.external and anterior vs.posterior as a starting point, based on the association of anatomical locations of the brain and blood vessels with brain language areas and language disorders.A classification system of PSA in Chinese developed from this approach in the form of a flowchart is well-suited for guiding the clinical treatment of cerebral stroke.Incorporating the "four elements" , the flowchart enables convenient diagnosis, classification and differential diagnosis of PSA in Chinese and facilitates targeted and personalized rehabilitation planning to benefit the patient.This article introduces the use of memantine, piracetam, donepezil and other drugs for PSA treatment, evaluates clinical trials on memantine conducted in China and abroad and its mechanisms of action for the treatment of PSA, and discusses how rehabilitation therapy achieves therapeutic effects.For the treatment of PSA, clinical research and practice using drugs such as memantine, piracetam and donepezil in combination with non-pharmacotherapy and rehabilitation training should be promoted.
