Objective To investigate the incidence,distribution patterns,and influencing factors of cerebral microbleed (CMB) in Chinese adult patients with moyamoya disease.Methods Thirty consecutive patients with moyamoya disease confirmed by digital subtraction angiography from the Nanking Stroke Registry Program were included.All patients performed conventional MRI sequences (3.0 T) and susceptibility-weighted imaging.The clinical data,such as medical history,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,mean arterial pressure,and white matter lesions were collected.Their fasting blood glucose levels and fibrinogen levels were detected.The numbers of CMB lesion,distribution information,and their relationship with various clinical parameters in patients with moyamoya disease were analyzed.Results Among the 30 subjects included,14 CMBs were detected in 10 patients from 11 hemispheres.The distribution of the lesions was mainly in deep brains (71.4%),especially in the periventricular white matter (50.0%).There was no statistical difference in age,gender,hemorrhage symptoms,blood pressure,white mater lesions,and plasma fibrinogen levels between the CMB positive group and CMB negative group.However,the fasting blood glucose levels in the former was significantly higher than those in the latter (8.0 ± 4.1 mmol/Lvs.4.8 ± 0.4 mmol/L;P =0.035).Multivariate regression analysis showed that the increased fasting blood glucose level was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of CMBs in adult patients with moyamoya disease (OR = 10.992,95% CI 1.325-91.218;P=0.026).Conclusions The CMB lesions are susceptible to Chinese adult patients with moyamoya disease in deep brains,especially in the periventricular white matter.The fasting blood glucose level may influence the incidence of CMBs in patients with moyamoya disease.

Objective:To explore the predictive factors for efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in drug resistant epilepsy (DRE).Methods:A total of 91 DRE patients underwent VNS in our hospital from July 2015 to August 2019 were chosen in our study. The preoperative evaluation data and postoperative follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate Logistic regression analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the predictive factors for efficacy of VNS.Results:One year after VNS, McHugh grading I in 20 patients (22%), grading II in 37 (40.6%), grading III in 23 (25.3%), grading IV in 2 (2.2%), and grading V in 9 (9.9%)were noted. There were 57 patients (62.6%) reached the responder status (seizure frequency reduction≥50%, McHugh grading Ⅰ or Ⅱ), and 34 (37.4%) patients failed to reach the responder status (seizure frequency reduction<50%, McHugh grading Ⅲ-Ⅴ). The univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the differences in lateralized interictal epileptiform discharge (IED), focal onset, and age of patients accepted electrode implantation were significant between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the lateralized IDE ( OR=5.214, 95%CI: 1.331-20.431, P=0.018) and focal onset ( OR=4.111, 95%CI: 1.432-11.802, P=0.009) were the independent predictive factors for efficacy of VNS. Conclusion:The lateralized IDE and focal onset can be used as important references for VNS in DRE patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between occupational stress, psychological capital and insomnia among nurses, and to test the mediating effect of psychological capital on the relationship between nurses' occupational stress and insomnia. MethodsStratified random sampling method was utilized in selecting 810 nurses from a tertiary A-level hospital from March to May 2021. The Effort-Reward Imbalance questionnaire (ERI), Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were used to evaluate the occupational stress, psychological capital and insomnia of nurses, respectively. Then the mediation effect of psychological capital on the relationship between occupational stress and insomnia in nurses was tested by PROCESS macro program. ResultsA total of 658 (81.23%) questionnaires were effectively collected. Analysis found that nurses' effort-reward ratio was positively correlated with AIS score (r=0.379, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with PCQ score (r=-0.275, P<0.01). Nurses' PCQ score was negatively correlated with AIS score (r=-0.402, P<0.01). Nurses' occupational stress could negatively predict psychological capital (β=-11.024, t=-7.324, P<0.01), and positively predict insomnia (β=4.117, t=10.478, P<0.01). Psychological capital could negatively predict insomnia (β=-0.087, t=-9.083, P<0.01). The predictive effect of occupational stress on insomnia was statistically significant with psychological capital introduced as a mediating variable (β=3.158, t=8.185, P<0.01). ConclusionPsychological capital plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between occupational stress and insomnia in nurses.
