In light of the tremendous number of patients with vascular dementia in China, it is of great significance for the treatment of this disease to summarize related research focuses. In this study, articles on the treatment of vascular dementia, which were included in CNKI and Web of Science from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021, were analyzed. Specifically, CiteSpace 5.

This study was aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese (Putonghua) version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen-Putonghua (OCS-P) for use among poststroke patients without neglect.
Methods: Expert review panel evaluated content validity of the Chinese-translated items.
Aim: Remote ischemic preconditioning protects against ischemic organ damage by giving short periods of subcritical ischemia to a remote organ. We tested the hypothesis that remote ischemic conditioning can attenuate cerebral stroke in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model by microparticles (MPs).
Methods And Results: MPs were extracted from healthy rats that underwent hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion preconditioning (RIPC), and were transfused into rats that had undergone MCAO without RIPC.
Objectives: This study was carried out to observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on neurological deficits, proliferation and differentiation of nerve stem cells (NSCs) in adult rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and to study its possible role in the treatment of cerebral ischemic injury.
Methods: A rat model of MCAO was established and interfered with EA. On days 4, 7, 14 and 21 after ischemic injury, neurological deficits were scored.

Objective: To probe into using evidence-based medicine to establish TCM stroke unit, so as to serve for clinical treatment of apoplexy.
Methods: Based on basic theories of TCM and in referred to the stroke unit model with therapeutic effect confirmed by evidence-based medicine, TCM stroke unit with characteristics of acupuncture and moxibustion was established.
Conclusion: Establishment of TCM stroke unit with TCM characteristics is objective in future, but it still needs high quality of clinical evidences.
