Objective:To explore independent predictors for poor outcome at 3 months in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)treated with intravenous thrombolysis(IVT), and to develop a nomogram-based predictive model.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study.Clinical, laboratory and imaging data of 346 elderly patients with ACI treated with IVT from January 2016 to April 2021 in our hospital were collected.Poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale(mRS)score >2 at 3 months after the stroke.Logistic regression analysis was used to screen for independent factors predicting poor outcome in elderly ACI patients treated with IVT, and a corresponding nomogram model was developed using the R software.The ROC curve, calibration plots and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate discrimination, calibration and clinical application value of the nomogram model.Results:Among 346 candidates, 109 developed a poor outcome, representing a rate of 31.5%.Logistic regression analysis showed that symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation( OR=15.647, 95% CI: 8.913-27.454), stroke severity(moderate stroke, OR=3.322, 95% CI: 1.414-7.811; moderate-severe stroke, OR=8.169, 95% CI: 4.102-16.258; severe stroke, OR=9.653, 95% CI: 5.440-17.121), stroke-associated pneumonia( OR=2.239, 95% CI: 1.134-4.420), and heart failure( OR=2.758, 95% CI: 1.424-5.336)were independent predictors for poor outcome at 3 months in elderly ACI patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis(all P<0.05). With the area under curve(AUC-ROC)value at 0.85(95% CI: 0.80-0.89), the nomogram model, which was composed of the above four predictors, demonstrated good discrimination.On the calibration plot, the mean absolute error was 0.020, indicating that the model had good calibration.Decision curve analysis revealed that the model had good clinical application value. Conclusions:The nomogram model composed of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, stroke severity, stroke-associated pneumonia and heart failure may predict poor outcome at 3 months in elderly ACI patients treated with IVT, with high prediction accuracy and high clinical application value.

Methods:
(1) Six C57BL/6 male mice aged 8 weeks were collected and divided into control group and wound group according to random number table (the same grouping method below), with 3 mice in each group. A 4 cm long straight excision with full-thickness skin defect was cut on back of each mouse in wound group, while mice in control group received no treatment. On post injury day (PID) 3, mice in 2 groups were sacrificed, and skin within 5 mm from the wound margin on back of mice in wound group and normal skin on corresponding part of mice in control group were collected to make single cell suspensions. The percentage of Vγ4 T lymphocyte expressing interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and percentage of DETCs expressing insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) were detected by flow cytometer. (2) Ten C57BL/6 male mice aged 8 weeks were collected and divided into control group and Vγ4 T lymphocyte depletion group with 5 mice in each group. Mice in Vγ4 T lymphocyte depletion group were injected with 200 g Vγ4 T lymphocyte monoclonal neutralizing antibody of Armenian hamster anti-mouse intraperitoneally, and mice in control group were injected with the same amount of Armenian hamster Ig intraperitoneally. One hole with full-thickness skin defect was made on each side of spine of back of each mice. The wound healing was observed on PID 1-8, and percentage of remaining wound area was calculated. (3) Six C57BL/6 male mice aged 8 weeks were grouped and treated in the same way as in experiment (2), with 3 mice in each group. On PID 3, expressions of IL-17A and IGF-Ⅰ in epidermis on margin of wound were detected with Western blotting. (4) Thirty C57BL/6 male mice aged 3 days were sacrificed, and epidermal cells were extracted. The keratin 14 positive cell rate was examined by flow cytometer (the same detecting method below). (5) Another batch of mouse epidermal cells were collected and divided into control group, IGF-Ⅰ group, and IL-17A group, with 3 wells in each group (the same well number below). Cells in IGF-Ⅰ group and IL-17A group were added with 1 mL recombinant mouse IGF-Ⅰ and IL-17A with final mass concentration of 100 ng/mL respectively, while cells in control group were added with the same amount of sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS). On post culture day (PCD) 5, keratin 14 negative cell rate was examined.

Cells in IGF-Ⅰ group and IL-17A group were treated in the same way as the corresponding groups in experiment (5), and cells in control 0 d group and control 7 d group were treated in the same way as the control group in experiment (5). The CFSE fluorescence peaks were examined on PCD 0 of control 0 d group and PCD 7 of the other 3 groups. (7) Another batch of mouse epidermal cells were collected and divided into control group and IGF-Ⅰ group. Cells in IGF-Ⅰ group were added with 1 mL recombinant mouse IGF-Ⅰ with final mass concentration of 100 ng/mL, and cells in control group were added with the same amount of sterile PBS. On PCD 5, cells were underwent keratin 14 staining and CFSE staining as aforementioned, and keratin 14 negative cell rate of CFSE positive cells was examined. Another batch of mouse epidermal cells were collected and divided into control group and IL-17A group. Cells in IL-17A group were added with 1 mL recombinant mouse IL-17A with final mass concentration of 100 ng/mL, and cells in control group were added with the same amount of sterile PBS. On PCD 5, keratin 14 negative cell rate of CFSE positive cells was examined. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance and
