Peer review anti assessment includes the evaluation of expert and index system in two parts.The current status of anti-assessment study mainly focused on expert,much of the index system anti-assessment study reports.As can be seen from the status,the anti-assessment system not yet formed and the application is rare.In urgent need of further research to improve our peer-reviewed scientific research.

Objective:
To investigate the predictive value of mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio (MPV/PC) for short-term outcome in patients with acute noncardioembolic stroke.
Methods:
Patients with acute noncardioembotic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from April 2018 to April 2019 were retrospectively enrolled. According to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at discharge or 14 days after onset, patients were divided into the good outcome group (mRS 0-2) and the poor outcome group (mRS >2). The demographic, baseline clinical data, laboratory findings were collected and compared between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group. MPV/PC values were calculated according to the average platelet volume and platelet count in blood routine. Multivariate

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and correlation of sleep disturbances(SD)with cognitive impairment-associated cerebral small vascular disease(CSVD-CI)in elderly patients.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 261 elderly CSVD-CI patients admitted to the Department of Neurology, Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between December 2019 and December 2021 were continuously enrolled.The Pittsburgh Sleep Index Scale(PSQI)was used to evaluate the overall sleep quality.Those with a PSQI score ≥7 was assigned to the CSVD-CI with sleep disturbances(CSVD-CI-SD)group, while those with a PSQI score <7 was assigned to the CSVD-CI without SD(CSVD-CI-NSD)group.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)was used to evaluate the cognitive function of patients with CSVD-CI, and scores on the overall cognitive function and various cognitive domains were compared between the CSVD-CI-SD group and the CSVD-CI-NSD group.Results:There were no significant differences between the CSVD-CI-SD group and the CSVD-CI-NSD group in sex ratio, age, education level and comorbidities( P>0.05). Compared with the CSVD-CI-NSD group, patients in the CSVD-CI-SD group took longer to fall asleep, had worse sleep efficiency, a shorter sleep duration, more obvious SD at night, worse sleep quality, more use of sleeping drugs, and more obvious daytime dysfunction(all P<0.05). Compared with the CSVD-CI-NSD group, the total MoCA score, attention score and orientation score in the CSVD-CI-SD group were significantly decreased( P<0.01). Correlation analysis results showed that the total MoCA score and attention in the CSVD-CI-SD group were negatively correlated with SD at night( r=-0.198, r=-0.115, P<0.05 for both), and orientation was negatively correlated with sleep quality( r=-0.170, P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of SD is high in CSVD-CI patients, with CSVD-CI-SD patients showing more obvious overall cognitive, attention and orientation impairment in MoCA.Additionally, the total MoCA score and attention are negatively correlated with nighttime SD, and orientation is negatively correlated with sleep quality in CSVD-CI-SD patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Jiawei Tianwang Buxin Dan(JWBXD)on insomnia in rats exposed to simulated high-altitude conditions.METHODS ① Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control,model,model+Jiawei Tianwang Buxin Dan(JWBXD,9.6 mg·kg-1),model+Tianwang Buxin Dan(TWBXD,9.6 mg·kg-1),and model+diazepam(DZP,3 mg·kg-1)groups.Rats,except for the normal control group,were subjected to a low-pressure,low-oxygen animal experimental chamber simulating a 5000 m altitude.Respective drugs were ig administrated once daily at 9:00 for seven days,and signal acquisition and sleep analysis were conducted by a wireless physiological sig-nal telemetry system.②Forty rats were randomly divided into five groups as described in ①.Through-out the experiment,the general condition and body mass of the rats were observed daily.Drug adminis-tration lasted for seven days,and grip strength was tested one hour after the final administration.ELISA was used to measure the levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH),adrenocorticotropic hor-mone(ACTH),corticosterone(CORT),and melatonin(MLT)in serum.Western blotting was performed to measure the expression levels of core clock proteins period circadian regulator 2(Per2),circadian locomotor output cycles(Clock),cryptochrome 2(Cry2),brain-muscle arnt-like protein 1(Bmal1),nuclear receptor subfamily 1,group D member 1(NR1D1),glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β),as well as acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase(ASMT)in the hypothalamus and pineal gland,respectively.RESULTS ① Compared with the normal control group,the model group exhibited a decrease in total sleep time(P<0.01),an increase in wakefulness(P<0.01),a significant reduction in slow wave sleep(SWS)(P<0.05)and the mean bouts duration(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,both DZP and JWBXD(P<0.01)prolonged sleep time and suppressed wakefulness(P<0.01)in the hypoxic envi-ronment.DZP and JWBXD prolonged SWS(P<0.05,P<0.01),while TWBXD had no significant effect.JWBXD improved the mean bouts duration of SWS in the model rats(P<0.01),whereas no such improvement was observed in model+DZP and model+TWBXD groups.② Compared with the normal control group,the model group showed a significant decrease in forelimb grip strength(P<0.01),increased levels of serum ACTH(P<0.05),CRH,and CORT(P<0.01),and decreased MLT levels(P<0.05).The expression levels of Per2,Cry2,GSK-3β,and NR1D1 in the hypothalamus were downregu-lated(P<0.05,P<0.01),while Bmal1 and Clock were upregulated(P<0.05,P<0.01).ASMT expression in the pineal gland was decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,JWBXD and TWBXD enhanced forelimb grip strength(P<0.01),reduced serum CORT and ACTH levels(P<0.05),decreased CRH levels(P<0.01),and restored MLT levels(P<0.01).JWBXD upregulated the expression levels of Per2,Cry2,GSK-3β and NR1D1 in the hypothalamus(P<0.05,P<0.01),but downregulated Bmal1 and Clock expression(P<0.05,P<0.01).TWBXD downregulated Bmal1 expression in the hypothalamus(P<0.01)and increased NR1D1 expression(P<0.05).DZP significantly enhanced the expression levels of Per2,Cry2 and NR1D1 in the hypothalamus(P<0.01).JWBXD,TWBXD and DZP improved ASMT expression in the pineal gland(P<0.05).CONCLUSION JWBXD can improve sleep structure and prolong the duration of SWS in rats exposed to simulated high-altitude conditions.The mechanisms may involve the regulation of core clock protein expressions in the hypothalamus,promotion of mela-tonin secretion,and inhibition of HPA axis hyperactivity.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in oncology and non-oncology patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Methods A computer-based search in PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang databases from their date of inception to December 2021 was performed, together with reference screening, to identify eligible clinical trials. Two investigators screened the articles, extracted data, and evaluated quality independently. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0 softwares were used for meta-analysis. Results The selected 8 cohort studies contained 57 988 patients, including 12 335 cancer patients and 45 653 non-cancer patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that in patients with cancer, the 30-day mortality [OR=0.74, 95%CI (0.65, 0.84), I2=0%, P<0.000 01], stroke [OR=0.87, 95%CI (0.76, 0.99), I2=0%, P=0.04] and acute kidney injury [OR=0.81, 95%CI (0.76, 0.85), I2=49%, P<0.000 01] were lower than those in patients without cancer. The 1-year mortality [OR=1.46, 95%CI (1.15, 1.86), I2=62%, P=0.002] and late mortality [OR=1.51, 95%CI (1.24, 1.85), I2=61%, P<0.000 1] were higher in patients with cancer. Conclusion It is effective and safe in cancer patients with severe AS undergoing TAVI. However, compared with patients without cancer, it is still high in long-term mortality, and further study of the role of TAVI in cancer patients with AS is necessary.
