Objective To explore the relationship between the hematoma enlargement after intracerebral and level of blood glucose after admitted.Methods Data of all patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were reviewed retrospectively.All 225 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into the hematoma enlargement group and non-hematoma enlargement group according to Brott's diagnostic criteria.The relationship between the hematoma enlargement and level of blood glucose in patients after admitted was analyzed statistically.Results The incidence of hematoma enlargement correlated significantly with level of blood glucose after admitted(P<0.01).The level of blood glucose of patients with hematoma enlargement after admitted increases more than those of patients without hematoma enlargement(P<0.01).Conclusion If blood glucose over 7.8 mmol/L,the attention should be paid for occurrence of hematoma enlargement,and some effective treatment to lower the level of blood glucose should be taken to improve prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To analyze the curative effect of tripterygium on NOD mice and the possible mechanisms.Methods:NOD mice were divided into 2 groups,Group A:tripterygium treatment(0.07 mg/kg,intraperitoneal injection,12 weeks);Group B:saline control.BALB/c mice were enrolled as control group( Group C).Results:After experiment,Group A had lower salivary flow rate than these of Group C,but higher than these of Group B at 12 and 20 weeks old( P<0.05).Group A had higher rate of inflammatory cells apoptosis than these of Group B and Group C(P<0.05).Group A mice had lower levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1βthan these of Group B(P<0.05),but higher than these of Group C(P<0.05).Group A mice had a higher level of SHIP-1 but a lower level of Mir-155 than these of Group B mice(P<0.05).Group A mice had a better neuroelectrophysiological outcomes than these of Group B mice ( P<0.05).Conclusion:Tripterygium can meliorate the sailoadentitis of NOD mice,which may though activating the SHIP-1/Mir-155 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of VEGF on proliferation and migration of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Methods To isolate and culture of oligodendrocyte precursor cells from mice. VEGF acts on the oligodendrocyte precursor cells for 48 h, meanwhile, the control group was set up and treated without VEGF. The proliferation of cells was detected by MTT assay, the cell migration was detected with a Boyden chamber, the levels of MMP-9, MMP-2, β-catenin, C-myc, cyclin D1 proteins in the cells were detected by western blotting. Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activator LiCl treated the oligodendrocyte precursor cells for 48 h, and the cell proliferation and migration were detected. Results The survival rate and number of migrated oligodendrocyte precursor cells were significantly higher than those of the control group after treated with VEGF (P< 0. 01). The levels of MMP-9, MMP-2, β-catenin, C-myc and cyclin D1 in the oligodendrocyte precursor cells after treated with VEGF were significantly higher than those in the control group (P< 0. 01). The cell proliferation and migration after treated with Wnt/β-catenin signaling activator LiCl were consistent with the proliferation and migration of cells after treated with VEGF. Conclusions VEGF promotes proliferation and migration of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. The mechanism of action is related to Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
