RESUMO
Objective To investigate correlation between post-stroke depression (PSD) and multiple factors during onset of acute cerebral infarction. Methods Depression was measured with Hamilton Depression Rating Scales (HAMD) in 58 patients with acute cerebral infarction, and their neurological function were evaluated by neurological function defect (NFD) score. Their immunoglobulin G (IgG) index was calculated and level of nitric oxide (NO) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured. Lesion and nature of cerebral infarction in 58 patients with acute stroke were located by CT. All the data were statistically analyzed with student-t test and ? 2 test, as well as linear regression model. Results Seventeen of 58 patients of stroke appeared PSD with an occurrence rate of 29.3%. Occurrence rate of PSD was significantly higher in patients with cerebral infarction than in those with cerebral hemorrhage 2=4.86, P
RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of intervention on blood pressure and incidence of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods In 1987, two cohorts population were selected in urban areas of Changsha . One was intervention group , another was control group. Baseline blood pressure levels were investigated and the events of stroke were collected. Results After 14 years, the cumulative stroke events were 89 in the intervention group and 128 in the control group; the mean blood pressure increased with statistical significance in each group except diastolic pressure in intervention group, but the control group increased more significantly; the analysis of Kaplan-Meier displayed that the rate of non-stroke events were higher in intervention group than that in control group and the analysis of COX regression indicated that the risk for stroke-events were 1.4 times higher in control group. Conclusions The intervention of risk factors can delay the increase of blood pressure by aging and reduce the risk of stroke-events.
