ABSTRACT
Effective prevention is the best approach for reducing the burden of stroke.The reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with statins may decrease the risks of patients with the first ever stroke and ischemic stroke or recurrent stroke in patients with transient ischemic attack.In stroke prevention,the treatment of statins has become the most important advance following aspirin and antihypertensive treatment.This article reviews the roles of statins in the prevention of stroke.
ABSTRACT
Many studies have shown that the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is increasing with an annual of 2％ to 5％.As the same with type 2 diabetes mellitus,T1DM is also a risk factor for stroke.Although some T1DM studies have taken stroke as a component of the composite endpoint of cardiovascular events,a few studies have focused on the risk of stroke in patients with T1DM.Recent studies have shown that the risk of stroke in patients with T1DM is significantly higher than those without diabetes mellitus,especially in the population under the age of 50.In addition,the T1DM patients died of the risk of stroke are 3 to 4 times higher than the general population.This article reviews the relationship between T1DM and stroke.
ABSTRACT
A model of traum a shook was established in rats by comminutedly fracturing of the right femur and bleeding of 15% of the body weight.In the 1st hour after injury,the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) of the heart and the lungs increased,the activity of sv.peroxide dismutase (SOD) in the lungs decreased,and the MDA content and SOD activity in hepatic mitochondria increased synchronously.In the 3rd hour after injury,the MDA content increased not only in the heart,the lungs and hepatic mitochondria but also in the liver and the kidneys,and the SOD activity increased in the heart,the kidneys and the intestinal tract but decreased in hepatic mitochondria.There were further marked elevation of MDA content and progressive inhibition on SOD activity in the 5 vital organs and hepatic mitochondria in the 5th hour after injury.When shock continued to progress,the plasma MDA content increased gradually,the SOD activity of the hemolytic blood decreased,and the activities of plasma acid phosphatase and ?-glucuronidase,the indicators of lysosome destruction,increased markedly.These findings suggest that the oxygen-derived free radicals are responsible for the damages to cells of the vital organs and subcellular organelles during traumatic shock.
