Objective To study the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on rats'locomotor function after hemisectional spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods A model of hemisectional SCI was established at the T10 segment in 12 rats,which were then randomly divided into an SCI-rTMS group and an SCI-control group.Another 6 rats served as normal controls.The SCI-rTMS group received threshold rTMS daily for 4 weeks,while the SCI-control group was given sham rTMS.The normal control group was left without any treatment.BassoBeatti-Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor scores were recorded weekly.Motor evoked potential (MEP) was detected at the 28th day after the operation.Neurofilament-200 (NF-200) was detected with immunofluorescent staining of the spinal cord lesions. Results The BBB scores in the SCI-rTMS group improved more than those in the SCI-control group.MEP of the fight hindlimb was detected in the rTMS group,but not in the control group.Expression of NF-200 marker increased significantly more than in the rTMS group. Conclusions rTMS can improve locomotor function of rats after spinal cord hemisectioning,which may result from increased expression of NF-200 and the regeneration of axons.

Objective To investigate the change of plasma cholinesterases (CHEs) in the people with diabetes or fatty liver or overweight , and explore the role of CHE in these diseases .Methods The plasma CHEs in 2834 subjects were detected , and these subjects were divided into five groups , including diabetes , fatty liver , overweight , diabetes with fatty liver , and the normal groups . Results The plasma CHE activities in diabetes group , fatty liver group , overweight group , and diabetes with fatty liver group were all higher than the normal group [(8943 ±1896)U/L, (9716 ±1673)U/L, (8798 ±1710)U/L, (9385 ±1687)U/L vs (8028 ±1621) U/L], and the CHE level in the fatty liver group was highest among five groups .However, the CHE level in diabetes group or fatty liv-er group was not significantly different from that in the diabetes with fatty liver group .The CHE level of the people with components of metabolic syndrome (MS) was significantly higher than that without MS component [(8786 ±1514)U/L, (9141 ±1771)U/L, (9705 ±1628)U/L, (9138 ±1768)U/L, (9530 ±1607)U/L vs (7821 ±1324)U/L]),but the CHE level was not increased gradually with the increased MS component.The plasma CHE had a negative correlation with age ( P =0.00),but it had a positive correlation with triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and body mass index (BMI)( P =0.00).Conclusions The plasma CHE activity was el-evated in diabetes group , fatty liver group , and overweight group , which might be a risk factor in these diseases .Controlling the plas-ma CHE might help to treat the metabolism diseases .

Objectives To investigate the regularity of fluctuation and clinical senses of serum c reactive protein (CRP) level in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) Methods 100 subjects (56 males and 44 females) were divided into five groups including 24 large artery arteriosclerosis (LAA), 27 small artery occlusion (SAO), 2 cardiac embolism(CE), 34 other Certain(OC) and 13 undetermined etiology according to Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) Through enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA), we detected and analyzed CRP levels of 100 inpatients Results The risk factors of stroke included coronary heart disease , hypertension, diabetes and intoxication of CO and so on Among the above mentioned, the level of CRP and rate of positive CRP of patients who poisoned by CO was the highest That of coronary heart disease group was lower However, there was no notable difference between hypertension and diabetes groups Conclusions CRP may play a certain role in the occurrence and development of ACI It represents different levels in different types of stroke

Objective To investigate the syndromes, syndrome elements and target sites of diabetic cerebral infarction. Method Firstly, literatures were searched from January 2003 to October 2013 in China Academic Journals Database (CNKI) retrieval system, then a database of 22 eligible articles was established. Syndromes of diabetic cerebral infarction were extracted from the database, then syndromes, syndrome elements and target sites were analyzed. Results Totally 2550 cases of diabetic cerebral infarction were concerned with 15 syndromes, including 659 cases of stagnation of phlegm and blood (25.84%), 445 cases of stagnation of phlegm-heat (17.45%), 366 cases of wind-phlegm syndrome (14.35%) and 341 cases of qi deficiency and blood stasis (13.37%). There were 10 syndrome elements in the 2550 cases, of which 1588 cases with phlegm (62.27%), 1026 cases with blood stasis (40.24%), 649 cases with qi deficiency (25.45%) and 539 cases with yin deficiency (21.14%). And seven target sites were encompassed, the highlights of which included 2502 cases of liver (98.12%), 2194 cases of spleen (86.04%), 2096 cases of kidney (82.20%) and 1026 cases of brain (40.24%). Conclusion The important syndrome elements of diabetic cerebral infarction were phlegm, blood stasis, qi deficiency and yin deficiency. The four major syndromes comprising stagnation of phlegm and blood, stagnation of phlegm-heat, wind-phlegm syndrome and qi deficiency and blood stasis were concluded, mainly affected the liver, spleen, kidney and brain. And there were two fundamental pathogenesis in diabetic cerebral infarction:qi and yin deficiency, phlegm and blood stasis.

BACKGROUND: At present, international classification of diseases by WHO, cerebrovascular disease classification used in China and TOAST classification used abroad are all based on patho-physiology. There is no report about human cerebral infarction by magnetic imaging types in Beijing and other areas.OBJECTIVE: To analyze retrospectively the subtype distribution of acute cerebral infarction of patients in Beijing by magnetic resonance imaging in order to make Beijing patients with acute ischemic stroke receive more exact and individualized treatment.DESIGN: Retrospective case study.SETTING: Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Beijing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: The study was carried out in General Hospital of Beijing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA, Beijing Sino-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing Naval General Hospital and Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between January and December 2004. Totally 602 inpatients with ischemic stroke who received treatment in each hospital were recruited. They were 352 male and 250 female with average age of (65.6±10.2) years.METHODS: The 602 patients with acute ischemic cerebral stroke who received the treatment in the 5 hospitals from Dongcheng, Xicheng,Chaoyang and Haidian districts in Beijing were recruited in the study. According to results of magnetic resonance imaging of brain, the maximal infarction area were determined. The patients were classified as: large infarction: over 1 lobe of brain, ＞ 5.0 cm in diameter; moderate infarction: less than 1 lobe of brain, 3.1-5.0 cm; small infarction: 1.6-3.0 cm; lacunar infarction, ＜ 1.5 cm.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Constitution ratio of MRI classification of patients in each groupRESULTS: Totally 602 patients with ischemic stroke participanted in final result analysis. Among the patients with acute cerebral infarction of 5 hospitals in Beijing, 280 (46.5%) suffered from lacunar infarction, 299(38.1%) from small infarction, 57 (9.4%) from moderate infarction, and 36 (6%) from large infarction. There were significant differences between lacunar infarction and other types (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Acute cerebral infarction of patients of Beijing mostly occurs in the type of lacunar infarction. It suggests that small arterial diseases are the major disease type of ischemic stroke in Beijing. This MRI classfication can be used for early classification, treatment guidance, evaluation and prognosis of acute ischemic cerebral stroke.

Objective We conducted a study using MRI and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM) to determine whether an inapporpriately low nocturnal blood pressure,or an excess fall in nocturnal blood pressure,might be responsible for lacunar infarct.Method ABPM and Casul blood pressure(CBP) were examined in 35 hypertentives with lacunar infarct( LI） and 33 hypertentives without lacunar infarct as control group.Results There is no significant difference of CBP between two groups.But the mean nighttime systolic blood pressure(nSBP) and diastolic blood pressure(nDBP) in patients with lacunar infarct were significantly smaller than in patients without lacunar infarct.The ratio of nSBP/dSBP and nDBP/dDBP in SI were smaller than in control group respectively.Conclusions The results indicate that an inappropriately low nocturnal blood pressure,or an excessive fall in nocturnal blood pressure,is associated with lacunar infarct.It is necessary not only to controlhigh blood pressure but also to pay attention to circadian changes of blood pressure during the course of anti-hypertensive treatment.

The case of the nodular fasciitis was with a short history and rapid growth speed. The lesion was nodular, not encapsulated. Histologically, the fibroblasts proliferated actively, with some mitoses. The reality of the nodular fasciitis is the proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. This disease is a benign lesion. It is very important to make a different diagnosis between this lesion and sarcomas. Ultrasonography and MRI are important assistants in diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. This disease could be effectively treated by local excision with a low recurrence rate and a satisfactory prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the postoperative nutritional status and the incidence of postoperative infection between post-laryngectomy patients with early eternal nutrition and those with normal liquid diet. METHOD: The observational group were given eternal nutrition while the control group were given normal liquid diet. Nutrition indicators (total protein, albumin, globulin, prealbumin, hemoglobin, body weight) and immune parameters (lymphocyte count) were measured at preoperative day 3 and postoperative day 3, 7 and 10. The incidence of complications and postoperative hospitalization days were compared and analyzed. RESULT: Compared with the control group, the total protein, albumin and globulin of observational group had no statistic significance at postoperative day 3, the total protein, albumin,globulin of observational group were higher (P<0. 05) at postoperative day 7 and 10: The body weight had no satisic significance at postoperative day 3 and 7, while observation group higher at postoperative day 10, while the hemoglobin of observational group had no statistic significance: The prealbumin and lymphocyte count had no statistic significance. The postoperative hospitalization days of the observational group was lower (P<0. 05) than the control group. CONCLUSION The early eternal nutrition for post-laryngectomy patients are conducive to improve of nutritional status and reduce the rate of post-operative complications.

Objective To investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of the domestic biodegradable drug-eluting cor?onary stents (BuMA) in treating coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Patients (n=440) who received BUMA stents were designated as observation group while patients (n=460) received Resolutestents were designated as control group. The base?line clinical characteristics, extend of pathological change shown by Coronary Arteriography (CAG),the procedure of percu?taneous coronary intervention were similar between these two groups. The patients were followed up for a mean of 24 ± 4 months;the primary endpoint was the occurrence of definite or probable stent thrombosis;secondary endpoint was major ad?verse cardiac events (MACEs) including complex end such as recurrent angina, acute non-fatal myocardial infarction, death, target vessel revascularization (TVR); other endpoints include all- cause mortality, cardiac death, myocardial infarc?tion (MI), target lesion revascularization (TLR), non-target vessel revascularization and stroke. Some patients were lost dur?ing follow up, which include 5 in observation group and 26 in control group. Results Patients in observation groups were in?serted with 615 stents while patients in control group were implanted with 614 stents, both groups with average of implanting 1.41 stent/case. There are no statistical significance differences in the primary endpoint [1.4%(6/435) vs 1.8%(8/434), χ2=0.087], secondary endpoint [12.3%(54/435) vs 10.8%(47/434),χ2=0.524] and other endpoints between the two groups. Con?clusion These data suggest that domestic biodegradable drug-eluting coronary stents (BuMA) are with good long-term safe?ty and efficacy.
