Effects of the modified electric convulsive treatment (MECT) on cell factors of schizophrenia.

The expression of cell factors of schizophrenia and the effect of the modified electric convulsive treatment (MECT) were studied. In total, 156 patients with schizophrenia were selected, and divided into the drug group (70 cases) and the drug combined with MECT group (combined group) (86 cases) according to the treatment methods. In addition, 70 cases of healthy volunteers (control group) were selected according to the closest matching method based on 1:1 of age and gender.

Reduced cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in Toll-like receptor 4 deficient mice.

Inflammatory reaction plays an important role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, however, its mechanism is still unclear. Our study aims to explore the function of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the process of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. We made middle cerebral artery ischemia-reperfusion model in mice with line embolism method.
