Angiogenesis is the process of capillary formation from the existing blood vessels, which is regulated by many cytokines.Balance of these cytokines plays an important role in angiogenesis.Unbalance of these cytokines, lead-ing to excessive or insufficient blood vessel, relates to a variety of diseases, such as tumor, ophthalmic diseases and wound healing.Recently, it has been observed that angiogenesis is also involved in Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. This review mainly discusses the molecular mechanism of angiogenesis and related diseases, and emphasizes the value of targeting angiogenesis as a strategy to develop drugs for those diseases.

The changes in the tau protein phosphorylation and expression of bcl-2, and bax in rat parietal cortex neurons after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) were explored, and the relationship between the tau protein phosphorylation and the expression of bax or apoptosis was clarified in order to elucidate the relationship between cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease. The rat focal cerebral I/R model was induced by occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery using the intraluminal suture method. The level of tau protein phosphorylation at Ser396, Ser404, Tyr231, Ser199/202 sites and the expression of bcl-2, bax and total tau 5 in rat parietal cortex during focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion were detected by Western blot. The relationship between the tau protein phosphorylation and the expression of bax, or apoptosis was examined by TUNEL method and double-labeling immunofluorenscence method. The results showed that the level of tau hyperphosphorylation at Ser199 / 202, Ser396, Ser404, Tyr231 sites and the expression levels of bcl-2, and bax were significantly higher in I/R group than in the sham group, but the ratio of bcl-2/bax was decreased. Neuronal apoptosis, bax expression and the tau protein hyperphosphorylation were co-localized. It is suggested that Alzheimer's disease-like pathological changes occur after cerebral I/R. The highly abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein plays a key role in cerebral I/R-induced apoptosis. The cerebral infarction may contribute to Alzheimer's disease occurrence and development.

Objective To investigate the application technology and effect of Navien catheter in intracranial aneurysms embolization.Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with intracranial aneurysm treated with Navien catheter in Department of Neurosurgery of Yijishan Hospital Affiliated to Wannan Medical College from March to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The extracranial segments of internal carotid arteries were seriously tortuous in all patients. The coaxial system was used during procedure. Whether the Navien catheter could be smoothly placed into the target artery or not was observed,and the coils or stent-assisted coils were used to embolize the intracranial aneurysms in the corresponding positions. The immediate embolization results were assessed by the Raymond grading. The intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed and the patients were followed up by imaging.Results All 15 patients had abnormal tortuosity of extracranial segments of internal carotid arteries. The Navien catheter was able to smoothly pass through the tortuous vessels and reach the desired position. The stent-assisted coil embolization was used in 9 patients,and the coil embolization was used in 6 patients. The success rate of the coil and stent placement technology was 100%. The stents were all accurately put in place without shift. According to the Raymond grading,the immediate embolization rate of aneurysms showed that 15 patients achieved Raymond gradeⅠ. One case developed internal carotid spasm during the procedure. The patient was improved after giving papaverine. Others did not have intraoperative complications,such as cerebral vasospasm,vascular dissection,in-stent thrombosis,and intraoperative aneurysm rupture. Five patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months with digital subtraction angiography (DSA). There was no recurrence of aneurysm and no in-stent stenosis and shift,No rebleeding or cerebral ischemia was observed.Conclusion Forpatients with severely tortuous in extracranial segments of internal carotid artery,using the Navien catheter may overcome artery tortuosity and other unfavorable factors of the patients and successfully reach the target vessel position,enable the embolization of intracranial aneurysms to be completed successfully.

Objective To analyze the intraoperative and postoperative common complications of Enterprise stent-assisted embolization of intracranial aneurysms and the causes and preventive measures. Methods One hundred forty-three patients with intracranial aneurysm treated with Enterprise stent-assisted embolization at the Department of Neurosurgery,Yijishan Hospital,the First Hospital Affiliated to Wannan Medical College from January 2012 to March 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The common intraoperative and postoperative complications and its possible causes,as well as the appropriate management were analyzed,and the prognoses were observed. Results A total 143 patients(205 aneurysms)with intracranial aneurysm were enrolled,included 43 with unruptured aneurysm,12 with recurrent aneurysm,and 88 with ruptured aneurysm. A total of 170 Enterprise stents were used. Twenty-two patients (15. 4%)had complications. Among them,2 had intraoperative aneurysm rupture,and they recovered well and discharged after active treatment. Thirteen patients had acute thrombosis,11 of the patients completely restored blood flow immediately after tirofiban and/or urokinase,microcatheter and guidewire-contact thrombolysis. The thrombolysis failed in 1 patient,and the blood flow was slow in 1 patient. Six patients had different degrees of cerebral infarction after procedure,and 1 died (peroperative Hunt-Hess grade Ⅳ). Three patients had vasospasm and they were improved after reducing blood vessel wall irritation and papaverine infusion. The introperative stent guidewire was broken and the stent in place was difficult in 1 case. The last coil packed difficultly during the procedure,and it protruded into the parent artery in 1 case. Two patients had non-aneurysmal hemorrhage after procedure. After conservative treatment,one left unilateral limb muscle strength decline and the other was stable after craniotomy,but leaving aphasia and hemiplegia. Conclusion When using the Enterprise stent-assisted embolization for complex aneurysms,grasping the indications strictly,strengthening the perioperative management and improving the operative skills may reduce or avoid the occurrence of complications.
