Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of ferroptosis induced by lipocalin2(LCN2)and microglial po-larization in intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods Forty SD rats were divided into sham operation group,ICH group,LCN2 low expression group and Liproxstatin-1 group,with 10 rats in each group.The morphological structure of the brain was observed and recorded,and the cranial nerve function(NIHSS)score was performed.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of microglia marker protein(Iba1),and M1 and M2 microglia marker proteins(CD68 and CD206)in brain tissue.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of LCN2,ferroptosis marker proteins[solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)]in brain tissue.The contents of ferrous ion(Fe2+)and malondialdehyde(MDA)in brain tissue were detected by ELISA kits.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the expression of LCN2 protein,the intracerebral hemorrhage,the NIHSS score increased(all P<0.05),and the expression of CD68 and CD206 in the microglia increased,the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins(SLC7A11 and GPX4)decreased,and the content of Fe2+and MDA increased in the brain tissue of the ICH group(all P<0.05).Compared with the ICH group,the expression of LCN2 pro-tein,the intracerebral hemorrhage,the NIHSS score and the expression of CD68 in microglia significantly decreased,and the ex-pression of CD206 significantly increased,the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 increased,the contents of Fe2+and MDA de-creased in the brain tissue of the LCN2 low expression group(all P<0.05).The expression of CD68 in brain tissue of Liprox-statin-1 group was significantly decreased,and the expression of CD206 was significantly increased as compared with ICH group(P<0.05).Conclusion Down-regulation of LCN2 can promote microglial cell polarization by inhibiting ferroptosis,and im-prove nerve function injury in ICH rats.

Objective To explore the effects of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM) nursing on the acute stage of stroke ( cerebral infarction) in clinical application. Methods A total of 67 patients with acute cerebral infarction were in strict accordance with the implementation of nursing programs and TCM. The nurses who were responsible for the implementation of the nursing program of TCM were received hospital uniform training and assessment. We collected the main symptoms of patients during hospitalization, the implementation of the main syndrome nursing methods and TCM nursing technology, as well as the main symptoms of improvement. Results For patients′ main symptoms ( consciousness disorder and hemiplegia, dizziness and headache, high fever, sputum interest promotion, two fecal incontinence, constipation, sluggish speech and swallowing) , the dialectical nursing implementation rate was 100%; 10 kinds of TCM nursing technology applied, can effectively improved the patients′ hemiplegia, dizziness, headache, constipation, swallowing difficulties and other symptoms. Conclusions Stroke ( cerebral infarction) of TCM nursing program in acute stage can promote the development of clinical TCM nursing, play an effective TCM nursing technology advantages, and is worthy of further promotion and application.
