Objective To explore expression of HMGB1 and TLR4 in epileptogenic focus brain tissue of temporal lobe intractable epilepsy patients, and analyze its significance in epileptic seizures. Methods 85 tempo-ral lobe intractable epilepsy patients were included in the research. Patients underwent resection of epileptogenic focus in Neurosurgery Department of The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during January 2011 to January 2012. Epileptogenic focus brain tissue during operation were studied. 20 patients underwent intracranial decompression were selected as control group. Normal brain tissue during operation were studied. Immunohisto-chemical method was applied to detect HMGB1 and TLR4 expression level in epileptogenic focus brain tissue of ex-perimental group patients and normal brain tissue of control group patients. Correlation of HMGB1 and TLR4 expres-sion level and epileptic seizures was analyzed. Results Positive expression rate of HMGB1 (χ2= 74.375, P =0.000) and TLR4(χ2= 57.495, P = 0.000) in epileptogenic focus brain tissue of experimental group patients are both higher than that in normal brain tissue of control group patients. Expression of HMGB1 and TLR4 in epilepto-genic focus brain tissue is correlated with course of epilepsy (χ2= 25.798, P = 0.000), (χ2= 10.548, P = 0.001) preoperative epileptic seizure duration(χ2=8.403, P=0.004),(χ2=10.564, P= 0.001) and preoperative epilep-tic seizure frequency (χ2=4.912, P=0.027), (χ2=5.567, P=0.018). Conclusions HMGB1-TLR4 passageway may become new direction to study pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of intractable epilepsy.

Objective To explore expression of HMGB1 in glioma tissue of glioma-related epilepsy patients. Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of HMGB1 in the tissues from 82 glioma-related epi?lepsy patients (glioma-related epilepsy group), 80 glioma patients (glioma without epilepsy group), 80 intractable epilepsy patients (epilepsy control group) epileptogenic foci tissue and 20 normal controls (negative control group). Results HMGB1 in glioma tissue of glioma-related epilepsy group was significantly higher than that in glioma tissue of glioma without epilepsy grou p (χ2=16.944, P<0.001), especially in low pathological grade glioma tissue. HMGB1 was higher in glioma tissue of glioma-related epilepsy group than in epileptogenic foci tissue of epilepsy control group (χ2=26.094, P<0.001). Expression of HMGB1 in glioma tissue of glioma without epilepsy group (χ2=32.273, P<0.001) and epileptogenic foci tissue of epilepsy control group ( χ2=22.236,P<0.001) was higher than in normal brain tissue of negative control group. In glioma-related epilepsy group, HMGB1 was positively correlated with seizures duration(r=0.365,P=0.001), sei? zures frequency (r=0.531,P=0.000) and pathological grade of glioma tissue (r=0.265,P=0.016). Conclusions HMGB1 is highly expressed in glioma tissues of glioma-related epilepsy; HMGB1 expression is closely related with seizures; and HMGB1 in glioma tissue may contribute to the formation of glioma-related epilepsy.

Objective To investigate the expressions and significance of erythropoietin producing hepatocellular cell line receptor A2 (EphA2) in pediatric brain glioma.Methods Seventy-eight fresh pediatric glioma specimens with a defined histological grade were collected in the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Jan.2009to Mar.2013,which included 36 of low grade glioma(Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade),42 of high grade glioma(Ⅲ-grade),another 33 cases with brain trauma line pressure to remove children brain tissues were collected as control group.The expressions of EphA2 mRNA and protein were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Results 1.RT-PCR and Western blot showed that EphA2 did not express in control brain tissue,but the expression levels of EphA2 mRNA were over-expressed in pediatric brain glioma,and the difference was statistically significant(F =36.271,P ＜ 0.05) ;the expression levels of EphA2 protein were significantly higher in high-grade pediatric glioma group than in low-grade pediatric glioma group,and the difference was statistically significant(F =42.839,P ＜ 0.05).2.Immunohistochemistry showed that EphA2 expression was negative in control group,the positive expression in low-grade glioma group was 88.57％,and the positive expression in high-grade glioma group was 100.00％.Moreover,the higher the grade glioma,distribution of EphA2 expression was stronger,and the difference was statistically significant(Z =4.962,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The mRNA and protein expression levels of EphA2 were significantly high in pediatric brain glioma which were associated with the grade of glioma.Therefore,EphA2 may participate in the development and progression of pediatric brain glioma.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for futile recanalization in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT), and establish a nomogram model predicting futile recanalization in these patients.Methods:One hundred and eighty-eight patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion after EMT were enrolled from Department of Neurology, Zhongshan Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2021. Patients were divided into futile recanalization group and effective recanalization group according to whether futile recanalization occurred; futile recanalization was defined as successful recanalization showed by immediate postoperative DSA (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction [mTICI] ≥2b), but poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] scores>2 90 d after surgery). The clinical data were compared between futile recanalization group and effective recanalization group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors for futile recanalization. R software was used to establish a nomogram model for futile recanalization. C-index was used to evaluate the differentiation of the model, and correction curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of the line graph model prediction. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the nomogram model.Results:Ninety-two patients had futile recanalization. Compared with the effective recanalization group, futile recanalization group had significantly older age, significantly higher hemoglobin A1c on admission, significantly longer time from puncture to vascular recanalization, significantly higher proportions of patients with hypertension history and poor collateral circulation, and significantly different severities of stroke and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and distribution of occlusive sites ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, history of hypertension, time from puncture to vascular recanalization, poor collateral circulation, severe WMHs, and moderate-severe stroke were independent risk factors for futile recanalization after EMT in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion ( P<0.05). A nomogram model of futile recanalization was established according to the above 6 factors, with C-index of 0.862 ( 95%CI: 0.809-0.914); the calibration curve of the model was highly coordinated to the ideal model curve; area under the ROC curve of futile recanalization was 0.862 ( 95%CI: 0.809-0.914, P<0.001). Conclusions:Acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion patients with older age, history of hypertension, longer time from puncture to vascular recanalization, poor collateral circulation, severe WMHs, and moderate-severe stroke trend to have futile recanalization after EMT. This nomogram can predict futile recanalization after EMT.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of Solitaire FR with intracranial support catheter for mechanical thrombectomy (SWIM) in the treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).Methods:Patients with progressive CVST treated with SWIM technology in the Neurology Department, Zhongshan Hospital of Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from June 2019 to March 2022 (including 4 patients with intracranial hemorrhage) were retrospectively included. The venous sinus recanalization after procedure and during follow-up was observed. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the outcome at 3 months after procedure.Results:A total of 9 patients with progressive CVST were treated with SWIM technology, including 6 males with a median age of 37.0 years (range, 15-78). Immediately post-procedural angiography showed complete recanalization of the venous sinuses in 6 cases and partial recanalization in 3 cases. At 3 months after procedure, the mRS score showed that 3 cases was 0, 3 cases was 1, 2 cases was 2, and 1 case was 4.Conclusion:SWIM technology may be a safe and effective method in the treatment of progressive CVST.
