ABSTRACT
The severity of carotid atherosclerosis and the levels of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS)increase with the severity of apnea,and that MMP-9 plays an important role in the progression of carotid atherosclerosis.This article reviews the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and serum MMP-9 so as to analyze the possible mechanism of developing carotid atherosclerosis in patients with OSAS.
ABSTRACT
@#Both motor therapy and functional electrical stimulation was used to treat the patients with hemiplegia. In 43 patients 17 cerebral haemorrhages, 26 cerebral infarctions and 7 traumatic cerebral injuries and haematomas male 28, female 15,were included in our studies. Therapy began in 1 to 2 weeks after lesion in 23, 2 to 5 weeks in 14, 3 -4 months in 3,6 months in 1,8 months in 1 and 1 year in 1. The results were evaluated by Barthel Index before and after the treatment,increasing from 41.02 ±20.58 pretreatment to 85.70±16.46 post-treatment with 22.58±15.10 times
