Objective To explore phenotypes and genotypes in 6 Chinese Han families with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD).Methods There were 28 OPMD patients in 6 Chinese Han families, aged between 32 and 70 years old.The initial symptom was dysphagia in 13 patients, ptosis in 4 patients,lower limb weakness in 1 patient.Most OPMD patients displayed dysphagia and ptosis in 3-20 years after the initial symptom appeared.Biceps brachii biopsies were made in the 6 OPMD probands.The specimens were examined with histological, histochemical stainings and ultrastructural examination.The exon 1 of PABPN1 gene was sequenced in all probands of OPMD and some of their family members.Haplotype analysis was executed in the 6OPMD probands.Results Mild hypertrophy and hypotrophy of fibers and rimmed vacuoles were found in each probands of OPMD muscle biopsies.Intranuclear palisading filamentous inclusions only appeared in 4OPMD probands.Gene analysis identified (GCG)9 in exon 1 of PA BPN 1 gene was detected in 3OPMD families, while (GCG) 6 (GCA) 1 (GCG) 3, (GCG) 10 and (GCG) 8were in one family respectively.Two families with (GCG) 9 expansion shared a common rs2239579 (C) -(GCG) 9-SNP2622 (C) haplotype.Conclusions Dysphagia and ptosis may be the common initial symptoms in Chinese Han OPMD patients.Rimmed vacuoles and intranuclear inclusions may be the common pathological feature in the muscle fibers.Both (GCG) expansions and (GCA) insertion of PABPN1 gene could be detected in Chinese patients.The genetic heterogeneity and the haplotype of three (GCG)9 families in our patients indicate that OPMD arises from different origin within the Han population.Some families with the same (GCG)9 expansions probably come from a common ancestor.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Deng Zhan Sheng Mai (DZSM) capsule, a compound made of Chinese herbs, on secondary and tertiary prevention of ischemic stroke. Methods A hospital-based randomized open-blinded clinical trial was conducted among people with a prior history of ischemic stroke. Hospitals were assigned to treatment group, in which all of the participants took DZSM capsules for 3 months, or control group, in which no DZSM capsules was administrated. The primary endpoint was the reduction of levels of blood lipids, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fibrinogen in the 3rd month. The secondary endpoints were recurrence of stroke, incidence of cardiovascular event (CVD) and all-cause mortality in the 18th month. Results 495 people were enrolled in the treatment group and 504 in the control group, respectively. In the 3rd month, the levels of total cholesterol(TC),FBG and fibrinogen were significantly reduced by 1.7%,4.3 and 8.2%(t values were 4.13,6.65 and 8.50 respectively),and the levels of HDL-C and HDL-C/TC were increased by 7.6%and 1 1.6%(t values were 2.15 and 3.67)in the treatment group, respectively(all P<0.05=.The levels of TC,HDL-C and HDL-C/TC decreased significantly in the eontrol group(all P<0.05=.The incidence of recurrent stroke and CVD events were lower in the treatment group than those in the control group, but the differences did not reach the significant levels. The prevalence of post-stroke depression (PSD) was also decreased in the 3rd mouth while it remained stable in the controls (P for trend equals to 0.0027). The mortality was significantly lower in the treatment group (P=0.008). Conclusion The levels of TC,FBG and fibrinogen as well as the prevalence of PSD and all-cause mortality have decreased significantly in treatment group treated with DZSM capsule for 3 months as compared with the control group.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new drug,human urinary kallidinogenase,against acute brain infarction.Method A 15-center,randomized,double-blinded and 3:1 placebo-controlled study was carried out.Acute brain infarction within 48 hours of onset in the territory of the middle cerebral artery were indicated as subjects;kallidinogenase or placebo which was dissolved in 50 ml saline,was slowly injected intraveousely within 30 minutes daily for 3 weeks.The European Stroke Scale and Barthel Index were used to evaluate the neurological deficit and the activities of daily living(ADL),followed by a follow-up at the end of the third month.Results 446 patients were enrolled,who completed ITT analysis,including 330 in kallidinogenase group and 116 in placebo group,meanwhile 421 proceeded with PP analysis(311 and 110 respectively).There were no significant differences of the baseline data between the 2 groups.At the end of treatment,the ESS scores increased by 55.1%±33.0% and 44.7%±32.8% respectively in kallidinogenase group(KG)and placebo group(PG,P=0.0022),the difference being significant.PP analysis had similar results.As for ADL,follow-up 90 days after the treatment showed 374 cases followed,280 in KG and 94 in PG;1 died in PG,while none in KG.In KG,the cases whose BI≥50 were significantly more than those in PG(P=0.0228).Adverse events possibly or definitely attributable to the drug were observed in 27 cases(7.74%),mostly were mild,such as palpitation,flush,dizziness, nausea etc,without special management needed.Only 2 died which was confirmed not correlated to kallidinogenase,and another 2 cases of sudden blood pressure drop were observed.The blood pressure drop, quickly restoring soon after the withdrawal of kallidinogenase and use of hemopiesic drugs,was considered to be caused by the combination use of anti-hypertensive drug ACEI and quick infusion speed.Conclusion Kallidinogenase is efficacious for acute brain infarction in improving the neurological deficits,which is safe in clinical use.

Objective To analyze clinical characteristic of static and dynamic cerebral autoregulation(CA)in patients with Parkinson disease(PD),mean cerebral blood flow velocities (MCBFV)in both middle cerebral artery(MCA),mean arterial blood pressure(MABP),end tidal CO_2 (EtCO_2)and some other index are measured simultaneously and continuously during the Valsalva maneuver (VM)and tilt table testing(TTT).Methods Seventeen patients with PD and eight age-matched control subjects were measured continuously and simultaneously of heart rate(HR),CBFV in both MCA by transeranial Doppler,MABP,MABP adjusted to brain level(MABP_(brain))by Finapress 2300 Ohmeda and end-tidal CO_2(EtCO_2).TTT was performed firstly during graded tilt(in the rest supine position as baseline,10°,30°,70°head-up tilt,and supine recovery).Secondly,VM was carried out.Goshng' s pulsatility index of MABP_(brain).and both MCA(PI_(BP),PIMCBFV_L,PIMCBFV_R),ratio of PIMCBFV_L/PI_(BP), PIMCBFV_R/PIB_p(PI_L/PI_(BP),PI_R/PI_(BP))were calculated for all phases.Cerebrovascular resistance (CVR)and static CA(sCA)were also calculated.The autoregulatory indices,as authoregulatory slope indice(ASI),A Ⅰ-Ⅱ and A Ⅰ-Ⅳ,side-to-side differences of indices(SSD),were also calculated during VM.Results The results in TTT showed that MABP_(brain)was decreased significantly in control and patients with Head-up tilt,but there was a significant decrease from baseline only at 70°head-up position (77.1±12.3,59.9±10.2,P=0.03;79.2±11.8,61.8±15.1,P=0.02),but it was not significant between patients and controls at any tilt level(P0.05).MCBFV in MCA in the patients was significantly lower than that in the controls((34.1±7.5)-(44.1±13.8),(61.4±15.9)-(65.4±19.2),P 0.05),and CVR in the patients were significantly higher than that in the controls at all test positions ((2.0±1.1)-(2.3±1.0),(1.0±0.2)-(1.2±0.4),P0.05).sCA_(MCAL)and sCA_(MCAR)were significantly decreased in the patient group(by 15.0%,6.8%)than those in the control group(by 73.4%,75.7%)(P0.01).During VM,MCBFV was significantly lower in the patients than in the controls in all phases((35.7±12.7)-(54.2±16.1),(47.1±11.3)-(80.2±25.5),P0.05). MCBFV in the patients was not different between phase Ⅱ a and Ⅱb(P=0.33).PI_(BP)in the controls was markedly lower in phase Ⅱb than on the baseline(P0.05),and PI_L/PI_(Bp)was markedly higher in phase Ⅱ a,Ⅲb than on the baseline(P0.05).PI_(BP)in patients was markedly decreased in phase Ⅰ,Ⅱ a, Ⅱb,Ⅲ than on the baseline((0.6±0.1)-(0.5±0.2),0.7±0.1,P0.05)respectively,but PI_L/PI_(BP) and PI_R/PI_(BP)rose significantly in phase Ⅱ a to Ⅲ((2.1±1.0)-(2.9±1.5),1.5±0.5,P0.05). Conclusions Patients with PD are in a baseline condition of higher CVR,lower MCBFV.The results in TTT showed that the patients with PD presented a special type of dysfunction of sCA resulting from dysfunction of dilatation of the downstream resistance vessels.Dynamic CA during VM shows characteristic phase-delayed changes in healthy controls.The clinical threshold of CA mark
