Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of flow diverter (FD) implantation versus stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE) in unruptured saccular aneurysms located at distal segments of the Willis circle.Methods:A retrospective study was performed; 119 patients with unruptured saccular aneurysms located at distal segments of the Willis circle who received FD implantation or SACE in Department of Neurosurgery, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Southern Medical University and Department of Cerebrovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery Center, Southern Medical University from January 2018 to May 2025 were selected. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into a FD group ( n=60) and a SACE group ( n=59). These patients were subjected to propensity score matching (PSM) using 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method to eliminate confounding factors such as gender, age, aneurysm location, and aneurysm diameter (maximum diameter); and then, differences in neurological functional prognosis (good prognosis: modified Rankin scale scores of 0-2), complete aneurysm occlusion rate (O'Kelly-Marotta grade D or Raymond occlusion classification class I), and overall (perioperative and follow-up) complications were compared between the two groups. Results:After PSM, there were 43 patients in both FD group and SACE group. No significant difference was found in clinical and imaging follow-ups (12[6, 19] months vs. 10[6, 15] months, 10[5, 19] months vs. 9[2, 15] months) between the FD group and SACE group ( P>0.05). At the last imaging follow-up, the complete aneurysm occlusion rate in the FD group (65.1%[28/43]) was significantly lower than that in the SACE group (76.7%[33/43], P<0.05). At the last clinical follow-up, no significant difference was noted in good prognosis rate (95.3%[41/43] vs. 97.7%[42/43]) and overall complication rate (30.2%[13/43] vs. 18.6%[8/43]) between the FD group and SACE group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both FD implantation and SACE are safe and effective for unruptured saccular aneurysms located at distal segments of the Willis circle; the complete aneurysm occlusion rate within 1 year of FD implantation is relatively low.

Objective To assess the clinical feasibility of a self-developed augmented reality(AR)system in surgeries for cerebral arteriovenous malformation(AVM),dural arteriovenous fistula(DAVF),moyamoya,and internal carotid artery stenosis.This system integrates preoperative vascular imaging(CTA,MRA,DSA)with intraoperative real-time visualization through high-precision patient-image registration and virtual-real integration technology.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 6 patients(1 cerebral AVM,1 DAVF,3 moyamoya and 1 internal carotid artery stenosis)collected between March 2023 and April 2024.AR with three-dimensional reconstruction was used for preoperative precise localization and intraoperative navigation guidance.Clinical feasibility was evaluated and analyzed using an intraoperative self-controlled method.Results All 6 patients with diverse etiologies successfully underwent preoperative precise localization and intraoperative navigation guidance under AR three-dimensional reconstruction modeling.This technology achieved visualization of intracranial arteriovenous structures and precise lesion locations,providing surgeons with a visual reference for accurate planning of the surgical approach and operative field.Conclusion The application of AR with three-dimensional reconstruction is safe and feasible in neurosurgical procedures for cerebrovascular diseases.It demonstrates satisfactory effectiveness in preoperative localization and intraoperative navigation guidance.

Objective To evaluate on novitiate of medical students in center of disease control and prevention(CDC).Methods Junior medical students of Grade 2007 were selected randomly by Cluster sampling method and classified into teaching reform group(novitiate in CDC,n=79) and control group.Traditional lecture and discussion were used in the laboratory of the school to 98 students of the control group,while 79 students of the teaching reform group became CDC trainees.Questionnaire and qualitative interviews were used to evaluate the trainees' preventive medicine cognition,their interest and employment intention.Questionnaire data was proofread and entered in EPIdata (version 3.1),and was analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences(SPSS version 17.0),and ratio or rate between groups were compared by x2 test,and scores of two groups were compared by using Wilcoxon test.Results In teaching reform group,rate of H1N1 correctly classified as category B was 76.0％,score of knowledge of Programme on Immunization,knowledge of H 1N 1 reporting procedures,knowledge of DOTs strategy,knowledge of chronic non-communicable disease management,and self-interest in preventive medicine was 4.0,4.0,3.0,5.0 and 4.0(points) respectively,and the proportion of regarding CDC as an employment options was 73.3％,respectively higher than 40.4％,2.9,2.9,2.0,4.0,3.8 points and 28.7％ in control group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Novitiate in CDC is helpful to increasing students' interest in learning preventive medicine,learning knowledge of preventive medicine,and changing employment concept.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the outcomes and adverse effects of sequential therapy of BTD and MPT regimen for the newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma patients no eligible for high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. Methods Thirty-six patients were involved in this study and the patients were treated with tandem therapy of BTD and MPT regimen. The patients were treated with BTD regimen as induced therapy no less than 2 cycles. When the patients got PR or above PR,they were treated with MPT regimen as consolidation therapy which was no less than 2 cycles. Then,the patients who achieved PR or partial PR were received MPT chemotherapy regimen as consequent treatment. After that,low dose thalidomide was used as maintenance therapy. The outcomes and adverse effects were retrospectively evaluated. Results Thirty-six patients were treated with BTD regimen as induced therapy. The results were that 7 patients (19.4 %) achieved CR,8 (22.2 %) VGPR,14 (38.9 %) PR and the OR rate was 80.6 %. The patients (n=29) who achieved no less than PR was treated with MPT regimen as consequent therapy. The results were that four patients were in progression and the others were stable. Twenty-five patients were treated with low dose thalidomide as maintenance therapy. The median progression-free survival (PFS) did not reached yet until last follow-up (median follow-up time was 16.5 months). One-year overall survival rate was expected 86.0 % and 3-year expected overall survival rate was 77.0 %. The main regimen-associated toxicities included thrombocytopenia,peripheral neuropathy (PN),Herpes Zoster,gastrointestinal symptoms,anemia,neutropenia,constipation,fatigue,rash and so on. The incidence of grade 3 and 4 adverse events was low. Conclusion Sequential therapy of BTD and MPT regimen can be used as the front-line therapy for the newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma patients no eligible for high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical characteristics of acute arsenic poisoning and its influential factors.

METHODSClinical data of 47 cases of arsenic poisoning were collected and analyzed. Two cases of observation, 40 cases of mild acute poisoning, and 5 severe acute poisoning were investigated in this group.

RESULTSMyocardial enzyme activity was correlated with age and urine arsenic concentrations. Myocardial enzyme, the liver ALT, total bilirubin (TBil) and indirect bilirubin (IBil) were negatively correlated with vomiting frequency, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Urine arsenic concentration was correlated with vomiting frequency and amount of soup drunk, with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Despite no statistical significance in age and amount of soup drunk, the patients with more vomiting or diarrhea had less urine arsenic concentrations, cardiac enzymes and liver enzyme concentration.

CONCLUSIONAcute arsenic poisoning can lead to multiple organ damage. The damage is relevant with amount of arsenic intake, vomiting, diarrhea and urinary frequency arsenic concentration. So early use of gastric lavage, vomiting, poison discharges, and adequate application of effective antidote (Na-DMPS) as soon as possible, symptomatic treatment and the reinforced monitoring, are the rescue key for patients with acute arsenic poisoning.
