During decidualization, lactic acid is produced and accumulated in large amounts, becoming a prominent feature of the decidual microenvironment. Lactic acid not only serves as a key product in metabolic pathways, participating in rapid energy generation and conversion, but also influences cellular functional states by regulating the acid-base balance of the microenvironment. Furthermore, as a signaling molecule, lactic acid plays a central role in regulating decidual immune metabolism, promoting decidual angiogenesis, and facilitating trophoblast invasion, all of which are crucial for embryo implantation. In recent years, the role of lactic acid in epigenetics has also gradually emerged, with lactylation modifications involved in regulating gene expression and maintaining the homeostasis of the decidual microenvironment. This article will delve into the specific roles of lactic acid in the decidual microenvironment, aiming to provide new perspectives and theoretical foundations for the study of pregnancy-related diseases.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for symptomatic cerebral infarction (SCI) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods:A total of 337 patients with spontaneous ICH admitted to the stroke center of Zhengzhou People’s Hospital were consecutively collected from May 2019 to March 2023. Patients were divided into the SCI group and without SCI group according to whether the presence of new neurological deficits consistent with diffusion-weighted imaging hyperintense lesions distant from the hematoma. Magnetic resonance was used to quantify cerebral small vessel disease imaging markers and the degree of cerebral artery stenosis (CAS). SPSS 25.0 software was used for data analysis. Univariate and multivariable Logistic regression models were adopted to assess risk factors associated with concomitant SCI. Subgroup analysis stratified by mean arterial pressure (MAP) tertiles was performed.Results:Compared with patients without SCI, patients with SCI have more histories of ischemic stroke, higher rates of complication of pneumonia and deep venous thrombosis, higher baseline systolic blood pressure, greater MAP change, higher periventricular white matter hyperintensities score and deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMHs) score, and more severe CAS (all P<0.05). Multivariable regression analysis showed that, the degree of CAS ( B=1.095, OR=2.989, 95% CI=1.645-5.432, P<0.001) and DWMHs score ( B=0.789, OR=2.201, 95% CI=1.163-4.166, P=0.015) were risk factors for ICH patients with SCI. Compared with patients with mild CAS, the proportion of SCI significantly increased in patients with moderate and severe CAS in the maximum MAP change group (both P<0.05). Compared with patients with mild DWMHs, the proportion of SCI in patients with severe DWMHs in the maximum MAP change group significantly increased ( P=0.002). Conclusion:Severe CAS and DWMHs are independent risk factors for SCI after ICH, especially with greater fluctuations in MAP change.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P<0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P>0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.
