Abstract
Brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) contents in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were detected by ELISA method in 30 cases of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (HCH group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group).The performance and neurological functions of patients were evaluated by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale( NIHSS),Hamilton Depression Scale ( HAMD),Barthel Index of Daily Living Skills.The result showed that the contents of BDNF in blood and CSF of HCH patients in recovery stage were significantly higher than those in acute stage and those of control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ; the contents of BDNF in blood and CSF were negatively correlated with neurological impairment degree ( P ＜0.05).The results suggest that BDNF in the blood or the CSF may promote the recovery of neurological function in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Key words: Cerebral hemorrhage; Nerve growth factor
