Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;6(9):466-470
Objective: To compare and evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions of tizanidine, baclofen and eperisone for treatment of limb spasticity in patients after stroke. Method: One hundred and three patients with stroke were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, controlled study. They were randomly divided into 4 groups: Tizanidine (n = 30), baclofen (n = 25), eperisone (n = 22) and control (n = 26) groups. The muscular tone, motor function and daily live activities (ADL) were evaluated with the modified Ashworth scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer ssessment (FMA) and modified Bathel index (BI) respectively 4 and 12 weeks before and after the medication. Results: Circled digit oneTwelve weeks after the medication, the MAS scores of the upper and lower limbs of the patients were decreased in the 3 treatment groups as compared to the control group (P < 0.05 all). The average decrease scores of the upper limbs in the tizanidine, baclofen, eperisone and control group were 0.8 ± 0.6, 0.7 ± 0.6, 0.7 ± 0.4, and 0.4 ± 0.4, respectively; and those of lower limbs were 0.8 ± 0.6, 0.7 ± 0.5, 0.7 ± 0.5, and 0.5 ± 0.5. However, there was no significant difference among the 3 treatment groups (P > 0.05). Circled digit twoThe FMA scores of the upper limbs in patients of the 4 groups showed that there were no significant differences before and after the treatment (P > 0.05 all); the FMA scores of the lower limbs in patients of the 4 groups after the 12-week treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment. The average increased scores were 5 ± 3, 6 ± 5, 5 ± 4, and 4 ± 4, respectively (P < 0.05 all), and there were no significant differences between the 4 groups (P > 0.05). Circled digit threeCompare to the scores before the treatment, the MBI showed that there were significant differences in the average scores in the 4 groups 12 weeks after the treatment (P < 0.05 all), and the average increased scores were 27 ± 12, 25 ± 14, 25 ± 12, and 21 ± 11. There were no significant differences between the 3 groups and the control group (P > 0.05). Circled digit fourBlood, urine, liver and renal function tests of all patients were in the normal range before and after treatment. 10% and 8% of patients in the tizanidine and baclofen groups experienced drowsiness; 6.7%, 8%, and 4.5%. of patients in the tizanidine, baclofen, and eperisone groups had gastrointestinal discomfort; 6.7% and 8% of patients in the tizanidine and baclofen groups had blood pressure drop; and 22.7% of patients in the eperisone group had generalized weakness. The symptoms were relieved in all patients after reduce or stop the medication. Conclusion: Tizanidine, baclofen and eperisone have obviously effects for reducing muscular tone and relieving spasticity. Their therapeutic effects has no differences, but the three medicines did not show significant effect on functional recovery.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2015;(11):1298-1303
Objective To investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the army old male hypertensive patients in Beijing. Methods From October 2011 to April 2014, old male patients in the geriatric department of the General Hospital of Chi-nese People's Liberation Army were enrolled and categorized into 3 groups: normotensive, well-controlled hypertensive and poorly-con-trolled hypertensive groups. The prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was recorded and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the differences among the groups. Results 719 old male patients were enrolled, 228 in normotensive group, 389 in well-con-trolled hypertensive group and 102 in poorly-controlled hypertensive group. Compared to normotensive group, there was more incidence of angina (OR=2.547, P<0.001), myocardial infarction (OR=2.493, P=0.003), cerebral thrombosis (OR=3.438, P=0.003) and peripheral artery atherosclerotic disease (OR=1.766, P=0.026) in the well-controlled hypertensive group, and it was more of angina (OR=4.123, P<0.001), la-cunar infarction (OR=2.810, P=0.020), cerebral thrombosis (OR=3.484, P=0.001) and peripheral artery atherosclerotic disease (OR=3.773, P<0.001) in the poorly-controlled hypertensive group. There was not significant difference of prevalence of cerebral hemorrhage (0.9%, 1%and 1%, respectively). Conclusion In the army old male hypertensive patients in Beijing, control rate of blood pressure was higher than com-mon population, but the prevalence of ischemic diseases was still higher than in the normotensive patients. Anti-hypertension and control of other risk factors could reduce the mobidity of cerebral haemorrahge.

The transcription factor of ethylene responsive factor binding protein (ERF) is belonged to AP2/ERF superfamily, which is known to be unique in plants. AP2/ERF proteins have important functions in the transcriptional regulation of a variety of biological processes related to growth and development, as well as various responses to environmental stimuli. An ERF gene from Salvia miltiorrhiza is cloned and divided into ERF gene family group VII of Arabidopsis and Rice. It contains a MCGGAI (I/L) motif referred to as CMVII-1 and a single intron in the 5'-flanking region of the AP2/ERF domain. Sequence analysis reveals that the region of second extron has abundant polymorphism sites. There are 21 single nucleotide polymorphism sites (SNPs) in the 264 bp region, among them, 14 SNPs are synonymous substitutions and 7 SNPs are non-synonymous substitutions. Though analysis of 181 samples from Shandong, Shaanxi and Sichuan Provinces, it reveals that each production area has its own special genotypes, 5 SNPs show significant difference. Cluster based on UPGMA method reveals that different populations from specific province have clustered together. It shows that SmERF gene will be a candidate molecular marker for the identification of Salvia miltiorrhiza from different areas.
