Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of sequential treatment with tirofiban and argatroban in acute isolated pontine infarction (AIPI) caused by branch atheromatous disease (BAD).Methods:Consecutive patients with AIPI caused by BAD within 48 h of onset and admitted to Zhengzhou Central Hospital from April 2021 to April 2022 were enrolled retrospectively. The patients were divided into sequential treatment group and tirofiban group according to their therapeutic modalities. In the tirofiban group, tirofiban was pumped intravenously within 48 h after admission, and dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel was added 4 h before tirofiban was discontinued. On the basis of tirofiban treatment, the sequential treatment group was followed by argatroban for 5 days when tirofiban is discontinued. The main outcome measure was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months after the onset . A score of <2 was defined as a good outcome. The secondary outcome measure was all the adverse events during the treatment and follow-up. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent factors of the outcomes. Results:A total of 64 patients with AIPI caused by BAD were enrolled, including 32 in the sequential treatment group and 32 in the tirofiban group. There was no statistical difference in baseline data between the two groups, but the rate of good outcomes at 3 months after onset in the sequential treatment group was significantly higher than that in the tirofiban group (78.1% vs. 50.0%; χ2=5.497, P=0.019). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the higher baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was independently associated with the poor outcomes (odds ratio 2.067, 95% confidence interval 1.343-3.182; P=0.001), while the sequential treatment was independently associated with the good outcomes (odds ratio 0.248, 95% confidence interval 0.064-0.957; P=0.043). Conclusion:Early application of sequential treatment with tirofiban and argatroban in AIPI caused by BAD may effectively improve the outcomes of patients, and the safety is good.

Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2021;36(14):1098-1101
Objective:To investigate the function of the expression rate of vitamin D, T helper cell 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the serum level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in the pathogenesis of adolescents with multiple sclerosis (MS).Methods:Thirty-eight adolescent patients diagnosed with MS in the Department of Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January 2010 to December 2020 were selected as the MS group, and 38 healthy adolescents matched with age and body mass index were selected as healthy control group.The level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 [25-(OH)D 3] was measured by liquid chromatograph; the expression rates of Th17 and Tregs were measured by flow cytometry; the serum levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 were measured by immunofluorescence.SPSS 22.0 statistical software was adopted to analyze the differences between the above indicators and their correlation in the MS group and the healthy control group. Results:There was no difference in the level of 25-(OH)D 3 in peripheral blood between the MS group and the healthy control group( P>0.05). As for the MS group, the expression rate of Th17 was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group [(3.02±0.20)% vs.(1.99±0.16)%, t=12.03, P<0.05]; the expression rate of Tregs in peripheral blood was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group [(4.63±0.77)% vs.(5.10±0.90)%, t=14.65, P<0.05]; the ratio of Th17 to Tregs was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (0.25±0.07 vs.0.17±0.05, t=16.89, P<0.05); the levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 in peripheral blood were higher than those in the healthy control group [(26.13±5.98) ng/L vs.(24.45±3.01) ng/L; (122.26±37.71) ng/L vs.(87.95±17.66) ng/L, t=1.986, 47.650, all P<0.05]. In the MS group, 25-(OH)D 3 in peripheral blood was not correlated with other test indicators; the levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 were higher in patients with relapsing or progressive disease than in patients with stable disease in remission [(17.49±3.94) ng/L vs.(14.45±3.81) ng/L; (90.42±23.06) ng/L vs.(77.55± 20.56) ng/L, t=1.990, 2.472, all P<0.05]; the expression rate of Th17 cells was positively correlated with the level of TNF-α and MCP-1 in peripheral blood ( r=0.478, 0.442, all P<0.05); the expression rate of Tregs was negatively correlated with the level of TNF-α and MCP-1 in peripheral blood ( r=-0.318, -0.356, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Th17 and Tregs may be involved in the immunopathological mechanisms in the pathogenesis of adolescents with MS; changes in associated cytokines may be involved in the regulation of Th17 and Tregs changes and the inflammatory response; Th17 and Tregs and associated cytokine changes may play an important role in the occurrence, progression, and relapse progression of MS as an immunopathological mechanism.

Objective:This study was conducted using scientometric methods and visualization technology to review the research status and demonstrate the hotspots, evolutionary paths, and frontiers of community nursing in stroke patients at home and abroad.Methods:This study employed the CiteSpace software to analyze the literature on community care for stroke patients published from January 1, 2012 to June 1, 2022 in the core databases of CNKI and Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database.Results:A total of 1 535 articles were included in this study. The trend of CNKI publications numbers had been first increasing and then decreasing. The number of WOSCC publications had experienced an annual increase over the past 10 years, albeit with certain inverted S-shaped fluctuations. The hot topics at home and abroad could be summarized in three points: rehabilitation nursing for community stroke patients, social support for community stroke patients, and community aged care for stroke patients. Domestic research in this field had been continuously refined, and there had been a significant shift in the development of this field abroad from focusing on the disease itself and public health issues to evidence-based nursing practices. The new research frontiers mainly included experiments and guidelines.Conclusions:There are differences in the level of emphasis placed on community care for stroke in the academic community both domestically and internationally. Conducting clinical trials and developing relevant guidelines will be an international research frontier. Moreover, relevant papers might provide Chinese research theory and methodology.

Objective:To explore the latent categories of child security and analyze domain-specific roles of child neglect on security among children aged 10-13 years.Methods:From October to December 2019, the security questionnaire (SQ), child neglect scale (CNS) and Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire (BPAQ) were used to investigate 577 children aged 10-13 years. Mplus 7.0 software was used for latent profile analysis (LPA) to explore the latent categories of child security. SPSS 22.0 software was used for multinomial Logistic regression to examine the effects of different domains of child neglect on the child security categories.Results:(1) Child security was divided into three categories named "medium-slightly low-security subgroup (48.9%)" , "high-security subgroup (31.8%)" , and "inability control subgroup (19.3%)" (entropy = 0.90, Lo-Mendell-Rubin likelihood, and Bootstrapped likelihood ratio test, all P<0.01). (2) Child security(35.06±6.08, 51.49±4.99, 69.67±6.13, F=1 378.09, P<0.01), neglect(71.09±20.58, 59.96±12.90, 50.76±9.27, F=74.50, P<0.01), and aggression(54.31±15.23, 46.44±12.46, 34.19±12.61, F=90.95, P<0.01) were significantly different among the "medium-slightly low-security subgroup" , "high-security subgroup" , and "inability control subgroup" . (3)Compared with "high-security subgroup" , the proportion of children with poor parental relationship and low paternal education level were higher in the other two subgroups(all P<0.05), while the proportion of children in the fifth grade were lower(all P<0.05). (4)In " inability control subgroup" , safe neglect had no impact on security( B=0.01, OR=1.02, 95% CI=0.91-1.13, P>0.05), while physical neglect ( B=0.13, OR=1.14, 95% CI=1.01-1.28), affection neglect( B=0.14, OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.07-1.23), and communication neglect( B=0.15, OR=1.16, 95% CI=1.03-1.30) predicted the "inability control subgroup" (all P<0.05). Only communication neglect predicted the "medium-slightly low-security subgroup" ( B=0.16, OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.07-1.28, P<0.01). Conclusion:Security is heterogenous with three latent categories among Children aged 10-13 years. Child neglect plays domain-specific roles in different child security categories.
