Objective To understand the current status of blood pressure variability and dyslipidemia in young and middle-aged patients with ischemic stroke, and to explore their relationship with prognosis. Methods A total of 312 young and middle-aged patients with ischemic stroke who met the inclusion criteria in Beijing Pinggu District Hospital from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected. The prognosis status [modified Rankin scale (mRS)], blood pressure variability, and blood lipids [total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] were analyzed. The correlation of blood pressure variability and blood lipids levels with prognosis was explored by logistic regression analysis. Results There were 206 patients with good prognosis and 106 patients with poor prognosis. The number of patients who received diversified health education in the good prognosis group was more than that in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05). The systolic blood pressure successive variation (SV) and average real variability (ARV), and diastolic blood pressure SV and ARV were lower in the good prognosis group than those in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05). Furthermore, compared with the poor prognosis group, the good prognosis group had lower levels of TC, TG and LDL-C, while the number of patients receiving diversified health education and the level of HDL-C were higher (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, it was found that the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, systolic blood pressure SV and ARV, and diastolic blood pressure SV and ARV were risk factors for poor prognosis. Conversely, receiving diversified health education and HDL-C level were protective factors for poor prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion High blood pressure fluctuation, dyslipidemia, and lack of health education will increase the risk of poor prognosis in young and middle-aged stroke patients.

Artery of Percheron(AOP)embolization or occlusion is a rare cerebrovascular disease that can lead to bilateral thalamic infarction with or without involvement of the upper midbrain.Due to its clinical rarity,lack of typical signs of cerebral infarction,and the diversity of patient symptoms,AOP occlusion-induced cerebral infarction is often misdiagnosed or overlooked,which delays the treatment.This article reported a case of a patient who presented with impaired consciousness as the primary symptom and was initially diagnosed with acute top-of-the-basilar artery embolism related cerebral infarction and underwent emergency endovascular thrombectomy,while the emergency angiography revealed an AOP occlusion.This article also analyzed the clinical features,diagnostic challenges,and treatment strategies of AOP occlusion in combination with the literature,with the aim of providing a reference for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of such cases.

To investigate the effects of Biyan Jiedu Capsules on the proliferation and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and their molecular mechanism, nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE1 and CNE2 were used. They were divided into control group(30% blank serum medium), low-(10% drug-containing serum + 20% blank serum medium), medium-(20% drug-containing serum + 10% blank serum medium), and high-(30% drug-containing serum medium) concentration group of Biyan Jiedu Capsules according to in vitro experiment. After 24 h of intervention, the effects of Biyan Jiedu Capsules on the proliferation of CNE1 and CNE2 were detected by CCK-8 assay, clonal formation experiment, and EdU staining. The effect of Biyan Jiedu Capsules on apoptosis of CNE1 and CNE2 was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the effect of Biyan Jiedu Capsules on the expression of X-linked apoptosis inhibitor protein(XIAP), survivin, proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), and PI3K/Akt pathway-related proteins in CNE1 and CNE2. The results showed that compared with the control group, the survival rate of CNE1 and CNE2 in the medium and high concentration groups of Biyan Jiedu Capsules could be decreased in a concentration-dependent way(P<0.05, P<0.01). At the same time, EdU staining and clonal formation experiments showed that the proliferation of CNE1 and CNE2 was significantly inhibited in the medium and high concentration groups of Biyan Jiedu Capsules(P<0.05, P<0.01). Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate of CNE1 and CNE2 was significantly increased in all concentration groups of Biyan Jiedu Capsules(P<0.01), and the apoptosis rate was concentration-dependent. Western blot showed that the expressions of XIAP, survivin, PCNA, p-PI3K, and p-Akt in all concentration groups of Biyan Jiedu Capsules were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05, P<0.01). In conclusion, Biyan Jiedu Capsules can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells possibly by down-regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
