ObjectiveTo evaluate pharmacological effects of Shengmai injection(SMI)on cerebral ischemia and study its neuroprotective mechanism. MethodsMale specific pathogen-free (SPF) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a sham group, a model group, a low-dose SMI group(3 mL·kg-1), a middle-dose SMI group(6 mL·kg-1), a high-dose SMI group(12 mL·kg-1), and a Ginaton group(4 mL·kg-1)according to the random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. The rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(MCAO/R)was prepared via the suture method. The administration groups were intraperitoneally injected with corresponding concentrations of SMI or Ginaton injection after reperfusion, which was conducted for 3 consecutive days. The sham group and model group were administered the equivalent volume of physiological saline. The pharmacological effects of SMI on brain injury in MCAO/R rats were evaluated by neurological function scores, cerebral infarction area, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Nissl staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining, and Western blot. The dominant link and key protein of SMI treating cerebral injury were explored using proteomic analysis. The related mechanisms of SMI were further validated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blot, and chloride ion fluorescence probe with oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)-treated PC12 cells and MCAO/R rats. ResultsCompared with the sham group, the model group showed significantly increased neurological function scores, cerebral infarction area, neuronal apoptosis rate, and expression levels of apoptosis related proteins (P<0.05, P<0.01)and significantly decreased density of Nissl bodies and neurons(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the SMI groups exhibited significantly decreased neurological function scores, cerebral infarction area, neuronal apoptosis rate, and expression levels of apoptosis related proteins (P<0.05, P<0.01)and significantly increased density of Nissl bodies and neurons (P<0.05). The proteomic analysis results showed that oxidative stress and inflammatory response were important processes of SMI intervening in MCAO/R injury, and the chloride intracellular channel protein 1 (CLIC1) was one of key proteins in its action network. The levels of representative indicators of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in the MCAO/R rats of the SMI groups were significantly reduced, compared with those in the model group(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression levels of CLIC1 and downstream NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) decreased (P<0.01). In addition, the experimental results based on the OGD/R PC12 cells showed that SMI significantly increased the cell survival rate(P<0.01) and significantly decreased the intracellular chloride ion concentration(P<0.05). ConclusionSMI has neuroprotective effects. Oxidative stress and inflammatory response are key processes of SMI intervening in MCAO/R injury. The potential mechanism is closely related to the regulation of CLIC1.

Objective:To explore the latent class characteristics of demoralization in severely disabled stroke patients, and analyze the differences and influencing factors of each class by latent class analysis.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 335 patients in the Neurointensive Care Unit of three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Anhui Province from October 2023 to March 2024, and were confirmed to be with post-stroke disability through follow-up as research subjects. General Information Questionnaire and Demoralization Scale-Ⅱ were used for a survey. Latent class analysis was used to identify latent classes of demoralization, and multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of different latent classes.Results:A total of 335 questionnaires were distributed, and 321 valid questionnaires were retrieved. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 95.8%. Demoralization of severe stroke patients with disability was classified into four categories of low demoralization (40.2%, 129/321), moderate demoralization with coping loss (12.1%, 39/321), moderate demoralization with goal loss (21.2%, 68/321), and high disability (26.5%, 85/321). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, per capita monthly income of the family, whether was the economic pillar of the family, long-term residence, and relationship with cohabitants were the influencing factors of demoralization in severe stroke patients with disability (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:There are four latent classes of demoralization in stroke patients with disability, and age, gender, per capita monthly income of the family, whether they are the economic pillar of the family, long-term residence, and relationship with cohabitants are the influencing factors of demoralization in severe stroke patients with disability.
