A large ischemic stroke caused by malignant middle cerebral artery infarction can lead to severe cerebral edema, even cerebral hernia. This condition deteriorates and progresses rapidly, usually leading to death. Due to limitations of conservative treatments, decompressive hemicraniectomy becomes a favored option in clinic. Recent years, a series of ex?perimental studies and clinical trials achieved reliable evidence that decompressive hemicraniectomy is an effective treat?ment for patients who suffer from malignant middle cerebral artery infarction. With the successful surgical procedure, most patients benefit from a reduced mortality and improved functional outcome without severe disability. Nevertheless, plenty of issues about decompressive hemicraniectomy still need to be solved. Here, we reviewed researches of early diagnosis of ma?lignant middle cerebral infarction and the application of decompressive hemicraniectomy as its treatment.

Objective:
To systematically evaluate risk factors for cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), so as to provide the evidence for formulating CMM prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Publications pertaining to the risk factors for CMM were retrieved from databases, including SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and Cochrane Library from inception to March 31, 2023. Meta-analysis was performed using the software RevMan 5.4 and Stata 16.0, and sensitivity analysis was performed using the leave-one-out method. The publication bias was evaluated using Egger's test.
Results:
Totally 494 publications were screened, and 20 publications were included in the final analysis, including 13 cohort studies (covering 1 940 000 participants) and 7 cross-sectional studies (covering 13 000 000 participants). Meta-analysis revealed that female (OR=1.54, 95%CI: 1.40-1.71), middle age (OR=3.80, 95%CI: 3.33-4.34), elderly (OR=2.82, 95%CI: 1.48-5.37), urban resident (OR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.27-1.57), higher education level (OR=2.01, 95%CI: 1.35-3.01), higher economic level (OR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.16-1.25), overweight (OR=1.92, 95%CI: 1.64-2.26), obesity (OR=3.01, 95%CI: 2.30-3.93), central obesity (OR=1.70, 95%CI: 1.12-2.56), smoking (OR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.07-1.51), alcohol consumption (OR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.01-1.59), irregular diet (OR=1.10, 95%CI: 1.02-1.18), insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits (OR=1.12, 95%CI: 1.07-1.17), lack of sleep at night (OR=1.17, 95%CI: 1.08-1.27), and depression (OR=1.50, 95%CI: 1.33-1.69) were risk factors for CMM. Sensitivity analysis of effects of central obesity and alcohol consumption were not robust. No publication bias was examined by Egger's test.
Conclusions
Female, middle age, elderly, urban resident, higher education level, higher economic level, overweight, obesity, central obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, irregular diet, insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits, lack of sleep at night and depression are risk factors for CMM.

Objective To study the risk factors related to recurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after discontinuing postoperative adjuvant imatinib mesylate (IM) treatment.Methods We retrospectively analyzed our clinical database of 138 GIST patients who received radical resection and subsequent IM adjuvant treatment at the Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between January 2006 and January 2014.Results For the entire Multivariate analysis study group,the overall 5-year recurrent free survival (RFS) rate was 54.5%.There were two tumor characteristics which were independent prognostic factors of GIST treated by postoperative IM:Ki67 index (P =0.005),and serosal invasion (P =0.026).The accuracy of comprehensive evaluation based on the two weighted variables was better than NIH staging criteria(AUC:0.714 vs.0.631).Furthermore,two risk groups were created according to the risk model with 5-year RFS of 81.3% and 31.1% as low-risk and high-risk groups,respectively (P <0.05).Conclusions For patients with intermediate or high risk in NIH classification,if there was tumor serosal invasion,or if there was no local invasion but Ki67 index > 8%,extended continuous IM adjuvant treatment should be recommended after the primary tumor was radically resected.

The effect of magnetic Fe3O4 particles on cellulase in the enzymatic hydrolysis of sunflower seed hull was studied in different adding ways and additive amount. In the process of enzymatic hydrolysis of sunflower seed hull, the variations of cellulase activity, reducing sugar concentration and cellulose conversion were evaluated. After the reaction, the analysis of pH and surface tension of hydrolysate were also used to determine the mechanisms of cellulase by the magnetic effect. The results indicated that after adding magnetic Fe3O4, the cellulase activity, reducing sugar concentration and conversion of cellulose had an increased between the 0.5 g/L and 2.0 g/L cases after 48 h. When the additive amount of magnetic Fe3O4 was 2 g/L, the cellulase activity at 60 h was improved significantly by 25.9%. It was found that the concentration of reducing sugar was increased from 6.950 mg/mL to 8.775 mg/mL with magnetic Fe3O4 1.5 g/L. Simultaneously, compared with the blank, which the conversion of cellulose was 47.932%, the maximum celluloseconversion of samples with adding magnetic Fe3O4 was 60.531%. Besides, the stability of cellulase activity adding in times was better than in one time. After the reaction, the final surface tension of hydrolysate with 1.5 g/L magnetic Fe3O4 was the lowest in comparison with the blank. However, no significant differences were observed in the final pH of the hydrolysate.

Objective To screen the variation in NeuroD1 gene and to study its function in vitro and its clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics in Chinese early-onset type 2 diabetic probands. Methods PCR-direct sequencing of NeuroD1 gene was performed in 85 early-onset type 2 diabetic probands, 95 late-onset type 2 diabetics with strong diabetic history and 87 non-diabetic control subjects. Distributions of the identified variation were calculated and compared among the three groups. Expression vectors with mouse NeuroD1 (mND1)cDNA wild type or mutant type and reporter vectors with human insulin promotor-linked luciferase were constructed. Then the above vectors were co-transfected into rat INS-1 cells. Relative luciferase activities were measured to compare transcriptional activities of insulin gene between WT and MT. Results S159P (T→C), a new mutation was identified in a proband, which was co-segregated with diabetes in 4 carriers from the paternal side. The functional study showed that the S159P mutant exhibited a 25% reduction in transcriptional activity of insulin gene as compared with the wild type. A45T (G→A), a common variation was identified. The AA + GA genotypic frequencies were markedly increased in early-onset type 2 diabetic probands as compared with late-onset type 2 diabetic probands and non-diabetic control subjects (P=0.006 and P=0.014, respectively). Conclusion The novel S159P mutation in the NeuroDl gene seems to contribute to the development of diabetes in the Chinese early-onset type 2 diabetic family. The A45T variation may increase susceptibility to or be in disequilibrium with early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chinese population. In addition, the A45T variation may affect the onset pattern of type 2 diabetes mellitns, such as early-onset but not late-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus.
