Objective:To study the early-onset epilepsy of intracerebral hemorrhage and build a prediction model to evaluate its prediction efficiency.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation was conducted to construct a specialized optimized prediction model. The prediction model was converted into a visual optimized scoring scale, so as to quantify the probability of secondary epilepsy after intracerebral hemorrhage. Based on the current prediction model of acute cerebral infraction and post-stroke seizure (AIS-PSS), the evaluation efficacy of optimized score for secondary epilepsy after hemorrhagic stroke was explored.Results:① After sample size calculation and sufficient inclusion and exclusion, 159 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were continuously selected as the model group of this cross-sectional study. A total of 29 patients with early-onset epilepsy and 130 patients without secondary epilepsy were enrolled. The time span was from January 2021 to August 2021. In addition, 77 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage from August 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the verification group, among which 12 patients had early-onset epilepsy and 65 patients had not any secondary epilepsy. ② There were significant differences in demographic characteristics such as diabetes history, cerebral infarction history, smoking history, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, intracerebral hemorrhage hematoma volume, serum creatinine (SCr), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S-100 protein and intracerebral hemorrhage site between the two model groups with different prognosis (all P < 0.05). ③ The above indexes were included in univariate and multivariate Poisson regression analysis, and the results showed that the duration of diabetes [relative risk ( RR) = 1.229, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.065-1.896, P = 0.036], smoking history ( RR = 1.419, 95% CI was 1.133-2.160, P = 0.030), history of cerebral infarction ( RR = 1.634, 95% CI was 1.128-2.548, P = 0.041), hematoma volume of cerebral hemorrhage ( RR = 1.222, 95% CI was 1.024-2.052, P = 0.041), NES content ( RR = 1.146, 95% CI was 1.041-1.704, P = 0.032), were independent influencing factors to constitute the prediction model. The prediction model was converted into a visual optimized scoring scale in the form of a line diagram to obtain the prediction probability corresponding to the corresponding score. ④ Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to test the evaluation efficiency of optimized score and AIS-PSS score for early-onset cerebral hemorrhage epilepsy. Relevant data of patients in the verification group were extracted according to the information of two scores, and the final score of each patient in the verification group was obtained. The score and prognosis were put into the ROC curve to evaluate the predictive ability of different prediction models. The results showed that the cut-off value of the optimized score and the AIS-PSS score were 144 points and 7 points, respectively, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and the Yoden index of the optimized score were slightly lower than the AIS-PSS score. However, compared with AIS-PSS score, there was no significant difference in the evaluation efficiency of optimized score for early-onset epilepsy ( Z = 1.874, P > 0.05). Conclusion:This study constructed a specific early-onset epilepsy prediction model for patients with hemorrhagic stroke, and transformed it into an optimized score that is easy for clinical use, and its evaluation efficiency is reliable.

OBJECTIVE:
To review the studies about the tibial-graft fixation methods on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, in order to provide clinical reference.
METHODS:
The literature about the tibial-graft fixation methods on ACL reconstruction at home and abroad was extensively reviewed, and the factors that affect the selection of fixation methods were summarized.
RESULTS:
The knee flexion angle, graft tension, and graft fixation device are mainly considered when the tibial-graft was fixed on ACL reconstruction. At present, the graft is mainly fixed at 0°/30° of knee flexion. The study shows that the knee joint is more stable after fixed at 30°, while the incidence of knee extension limitation decrease after fixed at 0°. In terms of graft tension, a good effectiveness can be obtained when the tension level is close to 90 N or the knee flexion is 30° to recover the affected knee over-restrained 2 mm relative to the healthy knee. In terms of the graft device, the interference screw is still the most commonly used method of tibial-graft fixation, with the development of all-inside ACL reconstruction in recent years, the cortical button fixation may become the mainstream.
CONCLUSION
Arthroscopic reconstruction is the main treatment of ACL rupture at present. However, there is no optimal fixation method for the tibial-graft, the advantages and disadvantages of each fixation methods need to be further studied.

Tubulin has been shown to be an effective target for the development of cytotoxic agents against prostate cancer. Previously, we reported that Lx2-32c is an anti-tubulin agent with high binding affinity to tubulin. In this study, we investigated the potential of Lx2-32c to act as an effective cytotoxic agent in the treatment of prostate cancer. MTT assays showed that Lx2-32c was cytotoxic to all tested prostate cancer cell lines. The Lx2-32c-treated cells typically exhibited a rounded morphology associated with the onset of apoptosis, as evidenced by immunocytochemical staining. Human prostate cancer cell lines treated with Lx2-32c arrest in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and the treatment is associated with an increased ratio of cells in the sub-G0/G1 phase as determined by flow cytometry. Furthermore, expression of the cleaved form of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in prostate cancer cell lines treated with Lx2-32c was shown by Western blotting assay. Xenograft implants of LNCaP and PC3-derived tumors in nude mice showed that Lx2-32c treatment significant inhibited tumor growth with effects equivalent to those of docetaxel. These findings demonstrate the potential of Lx2-32c as a candidate antitumor agent for the treatment of prostate cancer.
