  • Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is identified as a transitional stage before neurocognitive disorders and its prevalence and risk factors were investigated among elderly individuals in Baotou, China, during a study from June 2021 to June 2023.
  • The study, involving 1,120 elderly participants, found a high prevalence rate of 43.8% for SCD, with factors such as marital status, BMI, sleep duration, and chronic health issues significantly associated with it.
  • Additionally, the analysis indicated notable differences in SCD risk factors between genders, underscoring the importance of early detection and prevention strategies for cognitive impairments in aging populations.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) occurs frequently clinically as a complication following cardiovascular resuscitation resulting in neuronal damage specifically to the hippocampal CA1 region with consequent cognitive impairment. Apoptosis and oxidative stress were proposed as major risk factors associated with CIRI development. Previously, glycosides obtained from (CGs) were shown to play a key role in counteracting CIRI; however, the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined.

Background: We aimed to examine current practice of the management and secondary prevention of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in China where the disease is more common than in Western populations.

Methods: Data on baseline characteristics, management in-hospital and post-stroke, and outcome of ICH patients are from the ChinaQUEST (QUality Evaluation of Stroke Care and Treatment) study, a multi-centre, prospective, 62 hospital registry in China during 2006-07.

Results: Nearly all ICH patients (n = 1572) received an intravenous haemodiluting agent such as mannitol (96%) or a neuroprotectant (72%), and there was high use of intravenous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) (42%).

Background: Stroke is a major health issue in China.

Aims: We aimed to describe the management of patients admitted to hospitals in China with acute ischaemic stroke, and to determine whether there were any differences by age and gender.

Methods: Using a multicentre prospective hospital register across all eight major economic (geographic) regions in China, data on the socioeconomic characteristics, medical history, clinical features, and in-hospital investigations, management, and outcomes were collected on consecutive patients with acute stroke due to cerebral ischaemia during a 5-month period in 2006.

Objective: To study the strategy and process of out-hospital emergency care of acute cardiovascular events.

Methods: One hundred and eighty-three patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College were prospectively studied. The patients were divided into two groups according to the different ways of out-hospital care, one group consisted of patients who received first-aid care after calling "120" (94 cases), another was self-aid group consisting of patients sent to hospital by relatives (89 cases).
