Background:
and Purpose Vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (VBFAs) carry substantial morbidity and mortality, but optimal management for unruptured VBFAs remains unclear. We compared the safety and efficacy of conservative management (CM), stent-assisted coiling (SAC), and flow diverters (FDs) in patients with unruptured VBFAs, focusing on long-term prognosis.
Methods:
This study included data from a nationwide Chinese cohort of patients with vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) balanced confounders across groups. The primary outcome was poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score >2). Secondary outcomes included aneurysm rupture, ischemic stroke, compression symptoms, and VBFA-related deaths. Logistic regression estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed.
Results:
Among 1,115 patients with unruptured VBFAs, 838 (median age, 54 years; 655 men) were included. After IPTW, baseline characteristics were balanced. Median follow-up was 54 months. FD was associated with a lower risk of poor prognosis than CM (OR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.30 to 0.77]; p=0.002), with no difference between CM and SAC. FD also reduced aneurysm rupture (OR, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.60]; p=0.004) and compression symptoms (OR, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.68]; p=0.004) versus CM. Time-to-event analyses further revealed significant differences in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, whereas no significant differences were observed in basilar or vertebrobasilar junction lesions or in Type III–IV VBFAs.
Conclusions
Compared with CM, FD was associated with improved long-term outcomes in unruptured VBFAs, particularly in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, although residual confounding cannot be excluded.

Objective:To explore the influence and mechanism of perceived school climate on life satisfaction of junior high school students.Methods:From June to September 2022, students in sixth, seventh and eighth grade of junior high school were surveyed by the perceived school climate scale, the family cumulative risk-related questionnaire, the cognitive emotion regulation strategy questionnaire and the life satisfaction scale.SPSS 25.0 software was used to process data and the macro program PROCESS 4.1 was used for model testing.Results:(1) The total scores of perceived school climate, negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy, life satisfaction and family cumulative risk were 83.00(19.00), 21.00(8.00), 23.00(9.00) and 1.00(2.00), respectively.(2) Perceived school climate was significantly and negatively correlated with negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy and family cumulative risk( r=-0.30, -0.40, both P<0.01), while significantly and positively correlated with life satisfaction ( r=0.51, P<0.01).Negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy was significantly and negatively correlated with life satisfaction ( r=-0.37, P<0.01), while significantly and positively correlated with family cumulative risk ( r=0.29, P<0.01). Family cumulative risk was significantly and negatively correlated with life satisfaction ( r=-0.45, P<0.01). (3) Negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy played a mediating role between perceived school climate and life satisfaction, and the mediating effect accounted for 13.46%(0.07/0.52) of the total effect. (4) Family cumulative risk played a moderating role in the relationship between perceived school climate and life satisfaction, and between perceived school climate and negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy. Specifically, as the level of family cumulative risk decreased, the positive predictive effect of perceived school climate on life satisfaction significantly increased ( βsimple=0.42, P<0.001). Perceived school climate significantly and negatively predicted negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy under the condition of low level family cumulative risk ( βsimple=-0.30, P<0.001). Conclusion:Under the condition of low family cumulative risk in junior high school students, the perceived positive school climate can help reduce negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy, thereby improving life satisfaction.

Viral myocarditis(VMC)is a type of myocarditis caused by Coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)infection.Its pathogenesis is complex that includes direct viral action,host immune and inflammatory response,myocardial structure and function remodeling.The therapeutic effect of single target drugs is limited,while traditional Chinese medicine not only has antiviral effects,but also demon-strates systematic advantages in intervening in VMC due to its"multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway"characteristics.This article reviews the pathogenic mechanisms of CVB3-induced VMC,clarifies the interaction between CVB3 and host cells,and ex-plores the intervention mechanisms and developments of traditional Chinese medicine interventions for CVB3-induced VMC.At the same time,the prospects of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for CVB3-induced VMC in this study suggest that future research should strengthen the analysis of multi-target synergistic mechanisms based on traditional Chinese medicine formulas,combine artifi-cial intelligence,genomics,and gene editing technologies to predict drug-target interaction networks,establish standardized and per-sonalized system for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment plans,and provide more effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of VMC.
