RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of movement exercise combined with electroaeupuneture on the expression of Nestin in the hippocampus dentate gyrus (DG) after cerebral ischemia-repeffusion.Methods Fifty- four Wistar rats were used and randomly divided into a control group (Group A),an exercise training group (Group B),and an exercise training combined with electroacupuncture group (Group C).The middle cerebral arteries (MCA) of all the rats were occluded for 1 h,followed by reperfusion for 7,14 and 21 davs.Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of Nestin in the hippoeampus dentate gyrus.Results The number of Nes- tin-positive cells peaked in DG in all groups on the 7th day after cerebral isehemia-reperfusion.The number of Nes- tin-positive cells in DG ipsilateral to the ischemia-reperfusion lesion were significantly more than those in the opposite side at various time points (P
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To compare the protective effects of two fasudil hydroehloride injections (trade name: Yililu vs. Chuanwei) on experimental cerebral ischemia of rats. METHODS: A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into sham opertion group, model group, Yililu group, Chuanwei high dose group, and Chuanwei low dose group. Cerebral ischemia model was made in each group for the observation of the effects of fasudil hydroehloride injections on the neuralogical function, cerebral infarction size and the pathomorphology of brain tissues. RESULTS: As compared with model group, two kinds of the fasudil hydroehloride injections at the same dose identically decreased the score of neurological function as well as the cerebral infarction size, and lessened the degree of the pathomorphological change of brain tissues (P0.05). CONCLUSION: The two kinds of fasudil hydroehloride injections showed an equivalent protective effect on the damage of experimental cerebral ischemia.
RESUMO
Objective The present study was to differentiate the hyperdensities on CT immediately after intra-arterial thrombolysis in patients with acute isehemic stroke.Methods Twenty two patients with acute ischemic stroke were treated with intra-arterial combining with intravenous thrombolysis within 6 hours after onset.All patients underwent nonenhaneed CT scans before,immediately and 24 hours after thrombolytic therapy.The hyperdensities on CT after intra-arterial thrombolysis were analyzed retrospectively.Results Five hyperdense areas were seen in 22 patients immediately after thrombolytie therapy.According to their locations, CT values and follow-up CT scans,the hyperdensities on CT imaging were classified into two groups:contrast enhancement and hemorrhagic transformation.The former was characterized by rapid clearance of the hyperdensity lesion with maximum Hounsifild Unit＜90,on the contrary,the latter was noted by persistence of hyperdensity lesion after 24 hours CT scan with maximum Hounsifild Unit＞90.Two of the five hyperdense lesion patients were confirmed to be contrast enhancement with location in cerebral cortex,the other were hemorrhagic transformation,mostly located in basal ganglia.Hyperdensity in patients with contrast enhancement showed neurological improvement although no further medical cares were offered.Conclusions Different kind of hyperdensity on CT immediately after intra-arterial thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke can be differentiated according to its location,CT value and follow-up CT scan.When contrast enhancement occurred,no further medical care is needed.
