Background: and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking. Methods: This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance. Results: Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal. Conclusions The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle mitochondrial damage associated with decline in exercise function during high-altitude de-adaptation,using a mouse model.METHODS:Twen-ty-four healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to two groups:a high-altitude de-adaptation group and a plain control group.The model group was exposed to a low-pressure,low-oxygen chamber simulating an altitude of 7 000 meters for two weeks,followed by eight days of rearing in a plain environment.The control group was maintained in a plain envi-ronment for the same duration.Grip strength and pole-climbing tests were conducted on the 1st,3rd,and 5th days post-re-turn to assess muscle strength and motor coordination.Treadmill exercises were performed on the 4th and 8th days to eval-uate exercise endurance.After the treadmill exercise on the 8th day,serum,liver,and skeletal muscle tissues were col-lected.Levels of lactic acid(LA),glucose(GLU),creatine kinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),alanine trans-aminase(ALT),and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in serum,as well as glycogen levels in the liver and muscle,were analyzed.Additionally,the expression of proteins related to mitochondrial biogenesis,fission,fusion,and oxidative phos-phorylation in muscle tissues was assessed using Western blot.RESULTS:(1)The model group exhibited significant re-ductions in grip strength,increased pole-climbing T-turn and total times,and decreased total time and distance in the ex-haustion running test.(2)Serum levels of LA,CK,LDH,ALT,and AST were elevated,while GLU levels decreased,and glycogen levels in both the liver and muscle were reduced in the model group following the treadmill exercise.(3)Ab-normal indicators in the model group did not return to normal by the end of the de-adaptation period.(4)Western blot analysis revealed decreased expression of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation proteins(ATP6V1A and Mt-CO2)and mitochondrial biogenesis proteins(PGC-1α and FGF21),increased levels of mitochondrial fusion proteins(OPA1 and MFN1),and no significant changes in fission protein expression(FIS1 and DRP1)in muscle tissue from the model group.CONCLUSION:Exercise capacity in mice during the high-altitude de-adaptation period significantly declined,particu-larly in terms of muscle strength,motor coordination,and endurance.This decline is closely associated with abnormal pro-tein expression related to skeletal muscle mitochondrial energy metabolism and production.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of typeⅡhybrid surgery versus Sun’s surgery in treating acute Stanford A aortic dissection. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with acute Stanford A aortic dissection who were treated at the Central Hospital of Wuhan affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from 2016 to 2022. According to the surgical method, patients were divided into a typeⅡhybrid group and a Sun’s surgery group, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Results A total of 52 patients were included, with 22 in the typeⅡhybrid surgery group and 30 in the Sun’s surgery group. The typeⅡhybrid group consisted of 18 males and 4 females, with an average age of (58.18±6.00) years, while the Sun’s surgery group consisted of 22 males and 8 females, with an average age of (53.03±11.89) years. All surgeries were successfully completed. There were 4 (13.3%) perioperative deaths in the Sun’s surgery group, including 2 patients of multiple organ failure, 1 patient of paraplegia, and 1 patient of uncontrollable postoperative bleeding. There was 1 (4.5%) perioperative death in the typeⅡhybrid surgery group, who was suspected of acute coronary syndrome and took a loading dose of dual antiplatelet drugs preoperatively. The patient underwent secondary thoracotomy for hemostasis, was re-cannulated during the operation, and finally died of circulatory failure after implantation of intra-aortic balloon pumping. There was no statistical difference in perioperative mortality between the two groups (P=0.381). Compared with the Sun’s surgery group, the typeⅡhybrid surgery group had shorter cardiopulmonary bypass time [153.00 (135.00, 185.25) min vs. 182.50 (166.50, 196.75) min, P=0.013], aortic cross-clamping time [77.00 (70.50, 92.00) min vs. 102.50 (93.50, 109.75) min, P<0.001], postoperative ICU stay [4.00 (2.83, 6.00) days vs. 8.00 (6.38, 11.78) days, P<0.001], postoperative ventilator support time [72.00 (29.50, 93.25) h vs. 87.65 (39.13, 139.13) h, P=0.138], less intraoperative blood loss [(1586.82±209.41) mL vs. (1 806.00±292.62) mL, P=0.004], postoperative 24 h drainage volume [612.50 (507.50, 762.50) mL vs. 687.50 (518.75, 993.75) mL, P=0.409], and shorter postoperative hospital stay [18.00 (13.00, 20.25) days vs. 22.00 (17.00, 29.25) days, P=0.013]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of other early postoperative complications such as secondary thoracotomy for hemostasis, tracheotomy, renal dysfunction requiring dialysis, stroke, and paraplegia between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion For patients with acute Stanford A aortic dissection, typeⅡhybrid surgery is safe and effective; compared with traditional Sun’s surgery, typeⅡhybrid surgery has relatively less trauma, lower incidence of complications, satisfactory short-term results, and further research is needed on long-term prognosis.

Objective: To analyze the occupational health literacy (OHL) level and its influencing factors among key populations in the tertiary industry in Lu'an City, Anhui Province, so as to provide a basis for developing targeted health interventions and improving regional occupational health policies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select five categories of key populations from the tertiary industry in Lu'an City as study subjects from August to September 2024. Data on gender, age, education level, and OHL were collected through the National OHL Monitoring Questionnaire for Key Populations. The OHL levels were analyzed, and influencing factors of OHL levels among key populations were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 243 individuals were surveyed, comprising 700 (56.32%) males and 543 (43.68%) females. The median age was 42.00 (interquartile range, 17.00) years. There were 609 individuals with OHL, and the OHL level was 48.99%. The OHL levels in fundamental knowledge of occupational health protection, healthy work styles and behaviors, knowledge of occupational health laws, and basic skills for occupational health protection were 84.71%, 60.34%, 43.93%, and 37.09%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that educational level (primary school and below, OR=0.149, 95%CI: 0.064-0.344; junior high school, OR=0.340, 95%CI: 0.184-0.629; high school, OR=0.408, 95%CI: 0.230-0.723), average monthly personal income (3 000-<5 000 yuan, OR=1.655, 95%CI: 1.092-2.508; 5 000-<7 000 yuan, OR=2.195, 95%CI: 1.302-3.699; ≥7 000 yuan, OR=2.062, 95%CI: 1.016-4.183), employer nature (private enterprises, OR=2.992, 95%CI: 1.569-5.443), and industry category (education, OR=3.423, 95%CI: 1.407-8.327; courier / food delivery services, OR=0.459, 95%CI: 0.268-0.787; healthcare, OR=7.539, 95%CI: 3.255-17.461) were statistically associated with the OHL level among key population. Conclusion The OHL level among key population in the tertiary industry of Lu'an City can be further enhanced, with educational level, average monthly personal income, employer nature, and industry category identified as the primary influencing factors.
