To determine the relationship between axonal injury and regeneration in multiple sclerosis, an animal model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis was induced using different doses of myelin basic protein peptide. APP and growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), which is considered a specific marker of neural regeneration, were assessed by western blot analysis. Expression of APP and GAP-43, as well as the correlation between these two proteins, in brain white matter and spinal cord tissues of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis rats at different pathological stages was analyzed. Results showed that APP and GAP-43 expression increased during the acute stage and decreased during remission, with a positive correlation between APP and GAP-43 expression in brain white matter and spinal cord tissues. These results suggest that APP and GAP-43 could provide nutritional and protective effects on damaged neurons.展开更多

文摘Studies have demonstrated that amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression increases in multiple sclerosis tissues during acutely and chronically active stages. To determine the relationship between axonal injury and regeneration in multiple sclerosis, an animal model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis was induced using different doses of myelin basic protein peptide. APP and growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), which is considered a specific marker of neural regeneration, were assessed by western blot analysis. Expression of APP and GAP-43, as well as the correlation between these two proteins, in brain white matter and spinal cord tissues of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis rats at different pathological stages was analyzed. Results showed that APP and GAP-43 expression increased during the acute stage and decreased during remission, with a positive correlation between APP and GAP-43 expression in brain white matter and spinal cord tissues. These results suggest that APP and GAP-43 could provide nutritional and protective effects on damaged neurons.

文摘Objective:To provide guidelines for the prevention of post-stroke dementia,we investigated whether stroke patients were aware of post-stroke dementia and their level of dementia-related knowledge.Methods:Five dementia-related questions were designed.A field survey was conducted in a questionand-answer method using the designed questions.The surveys assessed 3000 stroke patients(2 weekse6 months after stroke attacks)from 14 hospitals/clinical centers in 7 provinces and cities across China.Results:Among 3000 stroke patients,80.5%had heard of dementia,39.1%knew that stroke can lead to dementia,55.7%believed dementia can be prevented,50.8%thought dementia can be cured,and only 8.8%had ever seen a doctor because of memory deterioration.Then,patients were classified into three groups,including a no cognitive impairment(NCI)group,a mild cognitive impairment(MCI)group,and a mild dementia(MD)group.Among the MCI and MD groups,only 8.7%(75/861)and 9.9%(64/649)of patients,respectively,had ever seen a doctor because of memory deterioration.According to our results,patients with a higher level of cognitive impairment had a lower awareness of dementia(P<.001).Conclusion:The awareness of dementia in stroke patients in China is low,and the consultation rate is even lower.Moreover,patients with a higher level of cognitive impairment have a lower awareness of dementia.To improve public awareness and improve prevention,more emphasis should be put on education regarding post-stroke dementia.Routine cognitive function screening should be conducted on stroke patients as an effective way to assess dementia.

文摘Background:Even with long-term complete suppression of the virus through antiretroviral therapy(ART),people infected with HIV cannot attain optimal immune reconstitution.This phenomenon is called immune reconstitution deficiency,there are no effective therapeutic interventions for immune reconstitution deficiency in modern medicine.Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ART with Shenling Guben Granules Traditional Chinese medicine in boosting immunological reconstitution compared with ART alone.Methods:This was a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,multicenter clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ART combined with Chinese medicine.The individuals aged 18–65 years with poor immune reconstitution following ART were included in this trial.The primary outcome was a change in the absolute value of CD4^(+)T lymphocytes after 72 weeks of combined ART and Chinese medicine administration.Secondary outcomes included changes in CD4^(+)T lymphocyte functional subpopulations,activated T lymphocyte subpopulations,CD4^(+)T lymphocyte proliferation,and T lymphocyte apoptosis from baseline to after 72 weeks.We also evaluated efficacy at 24-and 48-week intervals to better understand the dynamics of the trial drug’s efficacy.Results:There was a significant increase in CD4^(+)cell counts in groups treated with the Shenling Guben Granules after 24,48,and 72 weeks of treatment(P<0.05),and the difference in CD4^(+)cell counts at 24 weeks of treatment was statistically significant(P=0.010).After 48 and 72 weeks of therapy,the CD4^(+)CD38^(+)cell counts in the Shenling Guben Granules group were significantly higher than in the control group(P<0.05).In the subgroup analysis of CD4^(+)cell counts≥200 cells/mm^(3),the CD4^(+)cell counts in the treatment group were higher than the control group after treatment for 24,48,and 72 weeks(P<0.05).Discussion:CD4 cell counts in HIV/AIDS patients with immunological reconstitution insufficiency can be improved to a certain extent using Shenling Guben Granules.The greater the CD4 cell count at the start,the better the therapy response.Furthermore,Shenling Guben Granules have the efficacy and safety to prevent aberrant immunological activation.A large sample size,long-term follow-up,and multiple efficacy indicators were employed to assess the therapy’s safety.Our findings will lead to new therapeutic alternatives for HIV/AIDS patients suffering from immune reconstitution deficiency.Clinical Trial Registry:Name of the registry:Sundy on promote the reconstruction of Inadequate responders in HIV/AIDS patients after combined antiretroviral therapy by Shen Ling Gu Ben Granules;Chictr.org.cn Identifier:ChiCTR1800015290,registered on March 21,2018(http://www.chictr.org.cn/registry.aspx).
