Sleep-disorderedbreathingarecloselyassociatedwithischemicstroke.Sleep-disordered breathing includes obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Studies have show n that obstructive sleep apnea is an independent risk factor for stroke, w hile stroke can also increase the incidence of sleep-disordered breathing. This article review s the latest research progress of sleep-disordered breathing and stroke.

ObjectiveTo investigate clinical features and outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with remote symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICHr) after intravenous thrombolysis.MethodsThe acute ischemic stroke patients with sICHr after intravenous thrombolysis therapy were enrolled retrospectively.The clinical data were collected and the related literature was analyzed and summarized.ResultsA total of 6 acute ischemic stroke patients with sICHr were enrolled, including 4 males.Three patients had a history of using antiplatelet agents, 2 with atrial fibrillation, 4 with hypertension, 3 with previous stroke history, 4 with smoking history, and 4 had sICHr at 2 h after intravenous thrombolysis.Of the 14 hemorrhagic foci (except in the infarct areas), 10 were in the cerebral cortex.Three patients died within 1 week, and 1 was in a persistent vegetative state.Conclusions SICHr after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke is mainly located in the cerebral cortex.The outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with SICHr after intravenous thrombolysis are poor, and the mortality is high.

Objective To compare and analyze the etiology,clinical manifestations and imaging differences of bilateral pontine infarction (BPI) and unilateral pontine infarction (UPI),and investigate the possible independent risk factors for BPI.Methods Consecutive patients with pontine infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology,the First People's Hospital of Kunshan from January 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled retrospectively.They were divided into BPI group and UPI group.The risk factors,laboratory findings,National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores,clinical manifestations,and basilar artery lesions were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for BPI relative to UPI.Results A total of 131 patients with pontine infarction were enrolled,aged 66.22 ± 12.29 years,97 patients (72.52％) were male;14 (10.69％) were BPI,and 117 (89.31％) were UPI.In terms of clinical symptoms,consciousness disorder (35.71％ vs.6.83％;x2 =8.657,P =0.003),quadriplegia (50.00％ vs.5.12％;x2 =30.202,P ＜ 0.001),and dysphagia (71.42％ vs.29.91％;x2 =7.804,P =0.005) in the BPI group were more common than those in the UPI group.In terms of etiological classification,vertebrobasilar large artery disease (VLAD) was more common in the BPI group (85.71％ vs.27.35％;x2 =16.567,P ＜ 0.001),while small artery disease (SAD) was more common in the UPI group (49.57％ vs.7.14％;x2 =7.460,P =0.006).In addition,the baseline NIHSS scores (12.43 ±11.1 vs.3.78 ±3.98;t=2.873,P=0.013),white blood cell count ([9.21±2.81] ×109/L vs.[6.92± 2.40] ×109/L;t=3.191,P=0.002),baseline systolic blood pressure (170.57 ±31.21 mmHg vs.156.75 ±23.50 mmHg,1 mmHg =0.133 kPa;t =2.004,P =0.047),as well as the proportion of patients with severe stenosis or occlusion in basilar artery (78.57％ vs.8.55％;x2 =40.49,P ＜ 0.001) and with other site infarction (78.57 ％ vs.11.11％;x2 =33.652,P ＜ 0.001) in the BPI group were significantly higher than those in the UPI group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that severe basilar artery stenosis or occlusion (odds ratio [OR] 20.195,95％ confidence interval [CI]2.308-176.703;P =0.007),baseline NIHSS score (OR 1.147,95％ CI 1.019-1.292;P =0.023),and infarction at other sites (OR 19.483,95％ CI 2.969-127.868;P =0.002) were independently associated with BPI.Conclusion Compared with UPI,patients with BPI had more severe clinical symptoms and most of them with other site infarction.Severe stenosis or occlusion of the basilar artery was an independent risk factor for BPI.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between smoking behavior and related factors among the adult residents in Fengxian District,so as to provide an evidence for carrying out tobacco control and other health promotion work. MethodsA multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 272 community residents aged between 15 and 69 yeas to carry out the questionnaire survey. ResultsIn 2020, the smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was 23.50%. Smoking behavior was statistically correlated with age, gender, household registration, chronic disease, occupation and educational level. Smoking behavior was inversely correlated with educational level. Smoking rate of male residents was significantly higher than that of female residents, smoking rate of residents with chronic diseases was significantly higher than that of those without suffering from chronic diseases, and smoking rate of permanent registered residents was significantly higher than that of those non-locals. The highest smoking prevalence was among retired and freelancers, followed by staff of government agencies and public institutes, while the lowest was among students, followed by intellectuals. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age and education level were the main factors affecting the smoking prevalence level. ConclusionThe general　smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was higher than the average level in Shanghai but lower than the national level. Male residents aged ≥25 years and with lower education level are the key invention targets for tobacco control.

Objective: To investigate the objective characteristics of tongue manifestation in different stages of damp-heat syndrome in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled 134 patients with DKD G3-5 stages who met the diagnostic criteria for damp-heat syndrome in DKD. The patients were treated at Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, from May 2023 to January 2024. The patients were divided into three groups: DKD G3, DKD G4, and DKD G5 stage, with 53, 33, and 48 patients in each group, respectively. Clinical general data (gender, age, and body mass index) and damp-heat syndrome scores were collected from the patients. The YZAI-02 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) AI Tongue Image Acquisition Device was used to capture tongue images from these patients. The accompanying AI Open Platform for TCM Tongue Diagnosis of the device was used to analyze and extract tongue manifestation features, including objective data on tongue color, tongue quality, coating color, and coating texture. Clinical data and objective tongue manifestation characteristics were compared among patients with DKD G3-5 based on their DKD damp-heat syndrome status. Results: No statistically significant difference in gender or body mass index was observed among the three patient groups. The DKD G3 stage group had the highest age (P<0.05). The DKD G3 stage group had a lower score for symptoms of poor appetite and anorexia(P<0.05) than the DKD G5 group. No statistically significant difference was observed in damp-heat syndrome scores among the three groups. Compared with the DKD G5 stage group, the DKD G3 stage group showed a decreased proportion of pale color at the tip and edges of the tongue (P<0.05). The DKD G4 stage group exhibited an increased proportion of crimson at the root of the tongue, a decreased proportion of thick white tongue coating at the root, a decreased proportion of pale color at the tip and edges of the tongue, an increased hue value (indicating color tone) of the tongue color in the middle, an increased brightness value (indicating color lightness) of the tongue coating color in the middle, and an increased thickness of the tongue coating (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in other tongue color proportions, color chroma values, body characteristics, coating color proportions, coating color chroma values, and coating texture characteristics among the three groups. Conclusion Tongue features differ in different stages of DKD damp-heat syndrome in multiple dimensions, enabling the inference that during the DKD G5 stage, the degree of qi and blood deficiency in the kidneys, heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and stomach is prominent. Dampness is more likely to accumulate in the lower jiao, particularly in the kidneys, whereas heat evil in the spleen and stomach is the most severe. These insights provide novel ideas for the clinical treatment of DKD.
