ABSRACT The development of hepatocellular car-cinoma(HCC)is closely related to the formation of tumour blood vessels.VEGF-mediated angiogenesis is a major driver of the immune escape response in tumours.VEGF binds to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor2(VEGFR2)on endothelial cells,promoting endothelial cell proliferation and migration,inducing vascular changes in HCC,and thus promote the growth of hepatocellular carcino-ma cells.Anti-VEGF and its receptor-targeted mo-lecular drugs are currently effective new treat-ments for HCC.Monoclonal antibodies against VEGF and small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting VEGF have been shown to block its angio-genic activity,alleviate the inhibitory effect of the tumour microenvironment,and ultimately achieve tumour regression.This article provides a review of the research progress of VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors in HCC treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of mechanical thrombectomy using Solitaire stent combined with dual antiplatelet therapy(DAPT)on limb function and vascular reocclusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 134 patients with acute cerebral infarction who received treatment in our hospital from February 2020 to August 2023 were selected as samples.According to whether the patients regularly took aspirin and clopidogrel every day one week before surgery,they were divided into observation group(taking the medications)and control group(without taking medications),with 67 cases in each.The control group was given mechanical thrombectomy,and the observation group was treated with DAPT combined with mechanical thrombectomy.Outcomes measured included revascularization one week after treatment,and neurological and limb function assessment using NIHSS and FMA scale at baseline,1 day,1 week,and 1 month after treatment.Brain hemodynamics(CVR,Qmean,and Vmean)and thrombosis markers(TXB2,CD62P,and 6-keto-PGF1α)were evaluated pre-treatment and one month after treatment.Vascular reocclusion three months after treatment and its correlation with hemody-namics and thrombosis factors were analyzed.Results After treatment,higher revascularization rate,FMA score,Qmean,Vmean,and 6-keto-PGF1α level,and lower NIHSS score,CVR,TXB2,and CD62P level were found in the observation group(P<0.05).The incidence of vascular reocclusion was also lower in the observation group.Logistic analysis indicated that brain hemodynamic indicators and the level of thrombosis-related factors influenced vascular reocclusion occurrence(P<0.05).Conclusion Mechanical thrombectomy using Solitaire stent combined with DAPT helps the recovery of limb function in patients with acute cerebral infarction and reduces the risk of vascular reocclusion.

BACKGROUND: Patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) and major depressive disorder (MDD) share significant clinical overlap, although it remains unknown to what extent this overlap reflects shared neural profiles. To identify the shared and specific abnormalities in SCZ and MDD, we performed a whole-brain voxel-based meta-analysis using magnetization transfer imaging, a technique that characterizes the macromolecular structural integrity of brain tissue in terms of the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR). METHODS: A systematic search based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, International Scientific Index (ISI) Web of Science, and MEDLINE for relevant studies up to March 2022. Two researchers independently screened the articles. Rigorous scrutiny and data extraction were performed for the studies that met the inclusion criteria. Voxel-wise meta-analyses were conducted using anisotropic effect size-signed differential mapping with a unified template. Meta-regression was used to explore the potential effects of demographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS: A total of 15 studies with 17 datasets describing 365 SCZ patients, 224 MDD patients, and 550 healthy controls (HCs) were identified. The conjunction analysis showed that both disorders shared higher MTR than HC in the left cerebellum ( P =0.0006) and left fusiform gyrus ( P =0.0004). Additionally, SCZ patients showed disorder-specific lower MTR in the anterior cingulate/paracingulate gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, and right superior frontal gyrus, and higher MTR in the left thalamus, precuneus/cuneus, posterior cingulate gyrus, and paracentral lobule; and MDD patients showed higher MTR in the left middle occipital region. Meta-regression showed no statistical significance in either group. CONCLUSIONS The results revealed a structural neural basis shared between SCZ and MDD patients, emphasizing the importance of shared neural substrates across psychopathology. Meanwhile, distinct disease-specific characteristics could have implications for future differential diagnosis and targeted treatment.
