主　　题：Stroke Care in 2006,Did We Make Any Progress We 

摘      要：As it was in the past, stroke care made exciting progress but at the same time, there was disappointment in 2006. Although many clinical trials have published their results in the areas ranging from stroke risk factor management, stroke prevention, acute stroke intervention, complication management to rehabilitation, very few conclusions can be applied to our clinical practice. While we continue to gain knowledge on the risk factor management, such as the need to aggressively lowering cholesterol, we need more data on the efficacy and safety of carotid artery stenting. The search for more effective therapies to treat acute ischemic strokes and intracerebral hemorrhages *** it was in the past, stroke care made exciting progress but at the same time, there was disappointment in 2006.
