Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) compared with In?tra-arterial Thrombolysis (IAT) treatment in patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large cerebral ar?tery occlusion. Method The patients with AIS caused by large cerebral artery occlusion and underwent MT or IAT from 2005 May to 2014 May was included. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the onset to emergency(OTE)time, emergency to acupuncture(ETA)time, acupuncture to recanalization (ATR) time, stroke severity as measured by the Na?tional Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and site of arterial occlusion on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). A comparison was made between MT and IAT patients in rates of recanalization, symptomatic intracranial bleed?ing (SIB), mortality, and functional outcome. Three-month favourable outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score≤2. Result One hundred and two AIS patients were treated with MT and 50 with IAT. There was no differ?ence between MT and IAT groups with regard to demographics, onset NIHSS score (13.37±6.95 vs. 12.70±6.11;P=0.572) and discharge NIHSS score (8.40 ± 6.69 vs. 7.53 ± 7.28, P= 0.522) and the change of NIHSS score (3.87 ± 7.14 vs. 4.26 ± 5.42, P=0.766). There were significantly differences between MT and IAT groups in the OTE time (Median 300 min vs. 120 min,Z=-5.704,P=0.000) , ATR time (Median 30 min vs. 65 min,Z=-5.011,P=0.001) ,recanalization (91.2%vs. 60.0%,P =0.01),the rate of AIB(21.7% vs. 36.0%,P =0.046),3-month mortality (16.6% vs. 26.0%,P =0.043). The above parameters were better in MT group than in the IAT group. There were no significant differences between MT and IAT groups in the rate of SIB (12% vs. 16%,P =0.055), the NIHSS change(Median 3 vs. 4,Z =-0.236,P =0.823) and mRS score on 90d ( 48.2%vs. 46.0%, P=0.823). MT patients had significantly higher percentages of stent use (22.5%vs. 8%,P=0.018) . The Recanalization for ICA(81.8%vs. 55.6%,P=0.048),BA(93.1%vs. 55.6%,P=0.032)and MCA( 97.5% vs. 60.0%,P =0.026)was higher in MT group than in IAT group .The SIB rate for ICA(13.8% vs. 33.3%,P =0.000),BA(13.8%vs. 33.3%,P=0.000)was lower in MT group than in IAT group . The mortality rate of was significant?ly lower in MT than in IAT group for MCA (2.5%vs. 20.0%,P=0.000) . the good outcome rate for BA was higher in MT group than in IAT group(41.3%vs. 22.2%,P﹤0.01). Conclusions Compared to IAT,MT can provide broader time win?dow,higher recanalization rate and better outcome in patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large ce?rebral artery occlusion.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of intermediate frequency pulse electrical stimulation combined with TCM directional drug penetration therapy in the treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods:Randomized controlled trial. Totally 90 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who were treated between July 2018 and December 2021 in the hospital were selected according to randomized controlled trial design, and they were divided into the two groups through the random number table method, with 45 cases in each group. The control group was given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs+conventional intermittent traction + intermediate frequency pulse electrical stimulation, and the combined group was treated with TCM directional drug penetration therapy on the basis of the control group. Both groups were continuously treated for 1 month. The TCM syndromes were scored before and after treatment, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain degree. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were applied to assess the dysfunction degree and quality of life, and the clinical efficacy was assessed.Results:The total effective rate was 95.56% (43/45) in combined group and was 82.22% (37/45) in control group, with statistical significance ( χ2=4.05, P=0.044). The scores of lumbago pain, articular soreness, knee soreness and weakness and impaired activity and total score in combined group after treatment were lower than those in the control group ( t=18.40, 15.81, 15.40, 26.50, 59.575, P<0.01), and the JOA score was higher than that of the control group ( t=5.62, P<0.01), while the ODI score was lower than that of the control group ( t=9.43, P<0.01). The time-point effect and between-group effect of VAS score in combined group were lower than those in the control group with the extension of time ( F=240.00, 17.19, P<0.01), and there was an interaction effect between decrease and treatment method ( F=6.66, P<0.01). Conclusion:Intermediate frequency pulse electrical stimulation combined with TCM directional drug penetration therapy is helpful to relieve the pain, improve the lumbar dysfunction degree and enhance the quality of life and clinical efficacy in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective:To explore the application of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and its prognostic value in the treatment of acral melanoma.Methods:We retrospective analyzed 118 patients who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy from Mar 2012 to Jun 2019 with effective follow-up data available in our institute. We ruled out palpable regional lymph node metastasis with preoperative imaging of MRI and ultrasonography, used the 99Tc m-Dextran (Dx) as a tracer, with intraoperative γ-ray probe positioning for SLN capture. Wide resection and reconstruction in primary lesion followed by complete lymph node dissection were underwent SLN positive patients. Cox regression model were used to analyze the prognostic factors. Results:The patients had an average disease history of 53.6 months (2-360 months), the primary lesion located at hands and feet in 84 cases, while 27 cases were subungual and 7 cases were cutaneous. The mean Breslow depth was 3.6 mm, and 72 cases (61.0%) combined with ulceration. The average number of SLN was 2.8, the SLN positive rate was 24.6% (29/118), and the false-negative rate was 2.5% (3/118). There were 24 cases (20.3%) developed clinically positive metastasis, including 7 cases displayed distant metastasis combined with lymph node metastasis (5.9%), 8 cases with clinically positive lymph node metastasis alone (6.8%), and 9 cases with distant metastasis (7.6%). There were 33 patients in stage Ⅰ, 56 patients in stage Ⅱ and 29 patients in stage Ⅲ, with a 5-years overall survival rate of 69.5%. The Breslow depth is an independent risk factor of SLN positive. While Breslow depth, SLN status, SLN positive number and clinically detectable metastasis are independent prognostic factors of the overall survival ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients without clinically positive regional lymph node metastasis under imaging and physical examinations, SLNB can provide accurate pathologic staging and play an accurate prediction role in the prognostic evaluation. SLNB should be carried out routinely in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic non-blocking partial nephrectomy assisted by high power lateral green laser in the treatment of T 1a renal tumor. Methods:The clinical data of 10 patients with T1a stage renal tumor from February 2021 to April 2021 in department of urology, Gongli hospital affiliated to Naval Military Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 3 females, aged 47.0-74.0 years, with average of(58.8±9.7)years old. The diameter of the tumor ranged from 2.0 cm to 3.8 cm, with an average of (3.1±0.6)cm. There were 6 cases on the left side and 4 cases on the right side, locate on lumbar side in 9 cases and ventral sied in 1 case. The R. E.N.A.L score was 4.0-6.0, with an average of (5.0±0.8). The preoperative creatinine was 66.9-90.1μmol/L, with an average of (75.1±9.0)μmol/L, preoperative GFR of 44. 6- 67. 3 ml /min, with an average of(56.7±7.7)ml/min, preoperative hemoglobin level of 119.0-156.0g/L, with an average of (135.8±11.4)g/L. All patients underwent laparoscopic non-blocking partial nephrectomy assisted by 180w lateral green laser, free the surrounding area of the tumor fully and completely expose the renal tumor. The laser fiber was placed through the green laser hand piece, and the fiber was connected with normal saline to wash the strip. The initial green laser vaporization power was set at 80W, and the hemostasis power at 35W.About 3mm away from the edge of the tumor, and one optical fiber away from the renal parenchyma, the renal parenchyma was cut with 80W power. In order to reduce the interference by smoke, high-pressure flushing was used through the optical fiber while vaporizing, and an attractor was used to push and peel the tumor. In case of bleeding during operation, hemostatic power can be used to close the bleeding point and gradually advance until the tumor was completely removed. The wounds of renal inner medulla and renal outer cortex were continuously sutured in 1-3 layers with barbed suture. It involved 9 cases via retroperitoneal approach and 1 case via abdominal approach. The operation time, postoperative hemoglobin decrease, extraction time of negative pressure drainage, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative pathology and postoperative complications were recorded, and the serum creatinine level and GFR level of the affected side were followed up 1 month after operation.Results:All the operations were successfully completed, and there was no conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy. One case changed to scissors fast resection and sutured hemostasis due to severe intraoperative bleeding. The operation time was 90.0-120.0 min, with the average of (104.5±9.0)min. The postoperative hemoglobin level was 96.0-132.0g/L, with an average of (115.2±11.8)g/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The postoperative hemoglobin decreased from 12.0g/L to 25.0g/L, with an average of (20.6±4.6)g/L. The time of vacuum drainage was 5.0-7.0 days, with an average of (5.7±0.7)d. Postoperative hospital stay was 6.0-8.0 days, with an average of (6.7±0.7)d. No bleeding, urinary leakage and other complications occurred in all patients. There were 7 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 2 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma and 1 case of angiomyolipoma. All margins were negative. One month after operation, creatinine ranged from 66.0 to 90.4μmol/L, with an average of (76.8±8.3)μmol/L, which was not significantly different compared with that before operation ( P>0.05). One month after operation, GFR was 45.1-60.8 ml/min, and with an average of (55.5±4.7)ml/min, and there was no significant difference compared with preoperative data( P>0.05). Conclusions:For T 1aN 0M 0 stage and exophytic renal tumors, laparoscopic non-blocking partial nephrectomy assisted by lateral green laser is safe and effective.

Hepatic cholesterol accumulation is an important contributor to hypercholesterolemia, which results in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) is a key lipogenic enzyme that converts cytosolic citrate derived from tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) to acetyl-CoA in the cytoplasm. Therefore, ACLY represents a link between mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation and cytosolic de novo lipogenesis. In this study, we developed the small molecule 326E with an enedioic acid structural moiety as a novel ACLY inhibitor, and its CoA-conjugated form 326E-CoA inhibited ACLY activity with an IC50 = 5.31 ± 1.2 μmol/L in vitro. 326E treatment reduced de novo lipogenesis, and increased cholesterol efflux in vitro and in vivo. 326E was rapidly absorbed after oral administration, exhibited a higher blood exposure than that of the approved ACLY inhibitor bempedoic acid (BA) used for hypercholesterolemia. Chronic 326E treatment in hamsters and rhesus monkeys resulted in remarkable improvement of hyperlipidemia. Once daily oral administration of 326E for 24 weeks prevented the occurrence of atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice to a greater extent than that of BA treatment. Taken together, our data suggest that inhibition of ACLY by 326E represents a promising strategy for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
