Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of stent-assisted coil embolization for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms. Methods The clinical and imaging data of the patients with intracranial wide-necked aneurysm treated with stent-assisted coil embolization were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 200 patients with 205 aneurysms were enrolled. The mortality was 1. 5% and the disability rate was 1. 0% at discharge. One hundred seventy-seven patients were followed up for 16-51 months. The modified Rankin Scale scores: 0 in 174 cases, 2 in 2 cases, 4 in 1 case. Eleven patients (5. 5% ) had perioperative complications, including intraoperative bleeding in 3 cases, postoperative bleeding in 3 cases, postoperative cerebral infarction in 2 cases, coil protrusion in 2 cases, and postoperative epileptic seizure in 1 case. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the proportions of male patients (9. 1% vs. 5. 3% ; χ2 = 4. 42, P = 0. 026), hypertension (54. 5% vs. 23. 3% ; χ2 = 5. 42, P = 0. 03) and stent prior to coil implantation (54. 5% vs. 85. 1% ; χ2 = 3. 54, P =0. 021) between the complication group and the noncomplication group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the pre-stenting was an independent protective factor for surgery-related complications (odds ratio [OR] 0. 208, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0. 055-0. 791; P = 0. 021), and hypertension was an independent risk factor for surgery-related complications (OR 4. 380, 95% CI 1. 170-16. 399; P = 0. 028). The imaging follow-up of 167 aneurysms was obtained, including 26 recurrent aneurysms (15. 6% ). Univariate analysis showed that there was significant difference in the aneurysm site (anterior circulation aneurysms: 73. 1% vs. 89. 1% ; posterior circulation aneurysms: 26. 9% vs. 10. 6% ; χ2 = 5. 09, P = 0. 033) and size (giant aneurysms: 7. 7% vs. 0. 7% ; large artery aneurysm: 65. 4% vs. 29. 1% ; small aneurysms:26. 9% vs. 70. 2% ; χ2 = 20. 77, P < 0. 001) between the recurrence group and the nonrecurrence group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that large aneurysms (OR 6. 057, 95% CI 2. 296-5. 983; P <0. 001), giant aneurysms (OR 25. 260, 95% CI 1. 903- 335. 267; P = 0. 014 ), and posterior circulation aneurysms ( OR 3. 184, 95% CI 1. 028- 9. 857; P = 0. 045 ) were the independent risk factors of postoperative recurrence. Conclusions Stent-assisted coil embolization is one of the effective methods for the treatment of complex wide-neck aneurysms. Hypertension and coils prior to stenting are the independent risk factors for perioperative complications, and larger aneurysm size and aneurysms in the posterior circulation are the independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence.

To investigate the effects and mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)modified by cytotoxicity T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4-immunoglobulin (CTLA4-Ig)gene on the rejection of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)in rats. Methods MSC was infected with recombinant adenoviruses (Ad)5 containing CTLA4-Ig gene. After recombinant Ad-5 containing CTLA4-Ig infected MSC for 72 h,the total proteins were extracted. The protein expression of CTLA4-Ig was assessed by Western-blot.The suppression to lymphocyte proliferation by MSC and transgenic MSC were tested by cell counting kit (CCK)-8 analysis. Forty models of acute rejection after OLT in rats were established by modified Kamada’s two-cuff technique,with male Lewis and BN rats serving as liver donors and recipients respectively. Forty recipient rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rats in each group including control group (group A, only saline solution was injected into portal venous during transplantation),MSC group (group B,MSC was injected into portal venous during transplantation),transgenic MSC group (group C,transgenic MSC was injected into portal venous during transplantation),immunosuppressant group [group D,saline solution was injected into portal venous during transplantation,and ciclosporin (CsA)was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 1.5 mg /(kg·d) for 8 days]. On the 9 th day after operation,5 rats were killed randomly in every group,then the levels of interleukin (IL)-2,interferon (IFN)-γ,IL-4 in peripheral blood were measured and the pathological changes and rejection expression of liver tissues were observed by light microscope. The survival condition of other 5 rats in 4 groups was observed. Results After recombinant Ad-5 containing CTLA4-Ig infected MSC for 72 h,the protein expression of CTLA4-Ig gene in MSC infected with Ad5-CTLA4-Ig could be detected by Western-blot.When the ratios of MSC∶peripheral blood monouclear cell (PBMC)were 1∶10 and 1∶20,the rates of suppression to lymphocyte proliferation were 85.60% and 76.69% respectively.When the ratios of transgenic MSC∶PBMC were 1∶10 and 1∶20,the rates of suppression to lymphocyte proliferation were 90.50% and 84.20% respectively. Compared with MSC,MSC infected with Ad5-CTLA4-Ig had stronger effect on suppression to lymphocyte proliferation (P <0.05 ). The survival time after liver transplantation of rats in group A,B,C,D was (13 ±3),(41 ±6),(90 ±15),(102 ±18)d respectively.There were significant differences among group A,B,C (P<0.05 )and there was no significant difference between group C and D (P>0.05 ). Compared with group A,the serum levels of IL-4 in group B and C were significantly higher (P<0.05 ). The serum levels of IL-4 in group C were significantly higher than that in group B (P<0.05 ). There was no significant difference in the serum levels of IL-4 between group C and D (P>0.05 ). Compared with group A,the serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γin group B and C were lower significantly (P<0.05 ). The serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γin group C were significantly lower than those in group B (both in P<0.05 ). There were no significant differences in the serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γbetween group C and D (P>0.05 ). The pathological result of liver tissues of rats showed that the grafts of group A developed severe rejection,and the grafts of group B developed moderate rejection. And the grafts of group C and D developed slight rejection. Conclusions MSC infected with recombinant Ad5-CTLA4-Ig can inhabit the rejection in liver transplantation,and the effect is superior to MSC alone.

To gain more insights into the rice base editor (rBE3 and rBE4), we evaluated the mutation efficiency, off-target and inheritance of OsSERK1(D428N) and pi-ta(S918F) genes modified with rBE endonucleases. We predicted and analyzed the putative off-target sites of the sgRNA designed for OsSERK1(D428N) and pi-ta(S918F) by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Then we further characterized the inheritance and stability of targeted base mutations and T-DNA segregation in the progeny of the self-fertilized T0 plants. Analysis of the DNA sequencing data of T0 plants of OsSERK1(D428N) revealed no nucleotide change at any of the four potential off-target sites. For OsSERK1(D428N) and Os08g07774 carry the same sgRNA targeting sites, base substitution at both two loci were detected at a frequency of 41.67%. The targeted base mutations could be transmitted readily to T1 progeny. Furthermore, genetic segregation caused the loss of T-DNA at a frequency between 25.0% and 40.9% in the T1 transgenic plants of OsSERK1(D428N) and pi-ta(S918F). These results demonstrated that the rBE3 and rBE4 systems could mediate specifically targeted base editing in one- or multi-site, and the targeted base editing could be stably inherited to next generation.
