Objective To investigate the effect of statin pretreatment on collateral circulation and prognoses of patients with cardiac large artery occlusive stroke.MethodsFifty-three patients with cardiac large artery occlusive stroke admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to July 2019 were selected. All patients had unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion. DSA was used to evaluate the collateral flows, and the differences of collateral flows and prognoses in patients took statins before onset were compared with those did not take statins.ResultsAs compared with patients did not take statins, patients took statins had higher incidences of diabetes and coronary heart disease, lower content of low density cholesterol, higher proportion of patients with good collateral circulation (grading 3 to 4), and lower modified Rankin scale scores 3 months after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P< 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that percentage of patients took statins was independent factors affecting collateral flow in patients with cardiac arterial occlusive stroke(OR=5.000, 95％CI: 1.136-22.006,P=0.033).ConclusionIn patients with cardiac large artery occlusive stroke, statin pretreatment could improve collateral flow and clinical prognoses.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and safety of cervical pedicle screw (CPS) placement under orthopaedic robot navigation system guidance.Methods:From March 2019 to February 2021, the data of 33 patients (19 males and 14 females, aged from 26 to 75 years, with an average age of 50.5 years) treated with pedicle screw fixation with the assistance of orthopaedic surgery robot through the posterior cervical spine were retrospectively analyzed. In clinical diagnosis, there was upper cervical fracture with instability in 14 patients (fracture nonunion in 2 patients), upper & subaxial cervical fracture in 1 patient, cervical spinal cord injury with spinal stenosis in 2 patients, cervical spinal stenosis in 9 patients, occipitocervical deformity in 2 patients, post-operative revision of cervical spondylosis in 2 patients, cervical intraspinal tumor in 3 patients. A total of 151 CPSs were inserted in C 1-C 7 using robot navigation system based on intraoperative three-dimensional C-arm fluoroscopy to assist in screw placement in posterior cervical surgery. Among them, 74 screws were implanted into upper cervical spine; 77 screws were implanted in the lower cervical spine. CT was used to obtain image data within 7 days after operation, and Neo classification was used to evaluate the accuracy of cervical pedicle screw placement. The patients were followed up for 2 weeks to observe the clinical symptoms and signs, and to determine whether there were surgical complications such as nerve and blood vessel injury and incision infection. Results:According to Neo classification, 91.4% (138/151) screws were completely contained in the pedicle without breaking through the pedicle cortex (grade 0). Among them, the accuracy of C 1 screws was 97.1% (34/35), C 2 screws was 92.3% (36/39), C 3 screws was 88.2% (15/17), C 4 screws was 71.4% (10/14), C 5 screws was 85.7% (12/14), C 6 screws was 93.3% (14/15), C 7 screws was 100.0% (17/17). The screw accuracy was highest in C 7, the lowest in C 4. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was performed on the accuracy of screw placement in different cervical level, and the results showed that there was no statistical difference (χ 2=1.31, P=0.971). However, a total of 13 screws were found to perforate the cortex of pedicle, although any neural or vascular complications associated with CPS placement were not encountered. Among them, 9 screws were found to perforate laterally, and 4 screws were found to perforate medially. No postoperative incision infection occurred in all cases. Conclusion:The safety of CPS placement can be effectively guaranteed with the assistance of the orthopaedic robot system.

Objective To investigate the relationship between omentin-1,aquaporin 4(AQP4),and visinin-like protein 1(VILIP-1)levels and vascular recanalization after emergency endovascular treatment in patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke(ALVOS)and their combined predictive efficacy.Methods In total,110 patients with ALVOS undergoing emergency endovascular treatment were categorized into a non-reopening group(23 patients)and a reopening group(87 patients)based on whether the blood vessels were re-opened after surgery.Clinical data and omentin-1,AQP4,and VILIP-1 levels were compared between the two groups.Factors influencing postoperative blood vessel reopening were analyzed,and nomograms were drawn to evaluate their predictive performance and calibration.Results Significant differences were observed in the proportion of patients with hypertension;preoperative NIHSS scores;emergency blood glucose;AQP4,VILIP-1,omentin-1,and platelet levels;time from onset to endovascular treatment;preoperative ASPECTS;and proportion of patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis between the two groups(P＜0.05).Preoperative ASPECTS and omentin-1 levels were independent protective factors associated with postoperative vascular recanalization,whereas the time from onset to endovas-cular treatment,preoperative NIHSS scores,and AQP4 and VILIP-1 levels were independent risk factors associated with postoperative vascular recanalization(P＜0.05).The C-index of the nomogram for predicting postoperative vascular recanalization was 0.994,and the AUC of the nomogram for predicting postoperative vascular recanalization was 0.994,with a calibration degree of 0.975.Conclusion Omentin-1,AQP4,and VILIP-1 levels are important factors affecting vascular recanalization in patients with ALVOS after emergency endovascular treatment.Clinically,monitoring these levels may help to predict and evaluate early vascular recanalization fol-lowing treatment.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of negative result of susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) in etiology types of large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke.Methods:Sixty-three LVO stroke patients admitted to our hospital from December 2015 to October 2019 were chosen in our study. The clinical data of 63 patients with negative SVS and positive SVS were compared to clarify the independent factors influencing the SVS negative/positive results. The SVS negative rate in large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) patients and non-LAA patients were compared, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of SVS in predicting LAA acute middle cerebral artery occlusion were evaluated.Results:Of the 63 patients, 32 (50.8%) had negative SVS, and 31 had positive SVS; as compared with the positive SVS group, the negative SVS group had significantly higher incidence of hyperlipidemia, lower baseline NIHSS scores, and lower incidence of atrial fibrillation ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia and baseline NIHSS scores were independent factors influencing SVS in patients with LVO stoke. Among the 41 LAA patients, 25 had negative SVS, with a negative rate of 61.0%; among the 22 non-LAA patients, 7 had negative SVS, with a negative rate of 31.8%; significant difference in negative rate was noted between the two groups ( χ2=4.870, P=0.027). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of negative SVS in predicting LAA stroke was 60.98% ( 95%CI: 44.50%-75.80%), 68.18% ( 95%CI:45.13%-86.14%), 78.12%, 48.39% and 63.49%, respectively. Conclusion:Negative result of susceptibility vessel sign has a high predictive value in acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.

Osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly will seriously reduce their quality of life and life expectancy. For osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, spinal reconstruction is necessary, which should comprehensively consider factors such as the physical condition, fracture type, clinical characteristics and osteoporosis degree. While there lacks relevant clinical norms or guidelines on selection of spinal reconstruction strategies. In order to standardize the concept of spinal reconstruction for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, based on the principles of scientificity, practicality and progressiveness, the authors formulated the Clinical guideline for spinal reconstruction of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in elderly patients ( version 2022), in which suggestions based on evidence of evidence-based medicine were put forward upon 10 important issues related to the fracture classification, non-operative treatment strategies and surgical treatment strategies in spinal reconstruction after osteoporosis thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, hoping to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
