Platelet cytoplasmic ionized calcium is 2,596 +/- 0,674 mumol/L in controls, 3,370 +/- 1,339 mumol/L in the patients with acute ischemic stroke. Platelet cytoplasmic ionized calcium is increased in the stroke patients as compared to controls (P < 0.01). This indicates that there may be a lower threshold in platelet of stroke patient for activation. Moreover, increased platelet cytoplasmic ionized calcium may be a risk factor for thrombus propagation and aggravation of clinical manifestation.</p>","PeriodicalId":76874,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua shen jing jing shen ke za zhi = Chinese journal of neurology and psychiatry","volume":"25 4","pages":"235-6, 254-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12649460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the episode frequency of some patients in RC group is characterized as extremely rapid cycle. And there are more premorbid psychosocial factors in RC group than that in NRC group. In contrast with NRC, the RC is more common in type II bipolar disorder. We think that RC is a clinical subtype in bipolar affective disorder, having a close bearing on type II. For the function of HPT axis, we investigated the premorbid thyroid history and observed its changes, but no abnormal signs were found.
