Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of Pipeline embolization device (PED) Shield in intracranial unruptured saccular aneurysms.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study; 124 patients with intracranial unruptured saccular aneurysms treated with PED Shield at Department of Cerebrovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery Center, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from July 2023 to October 2024 were enrolled. Intraoperative device-related complications and occurrence of hemorrhagic and ischemic complications within 30 days of the procedure were recorded. The clinical results and imaging results (degrees of stent patency and aneurysm occlusion rate) 6 months after follow-up were statistically analyzed. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) score>2 was defined as poor prognosis in clinical follow-up, and grade D according to O'Kelly Marotta (OKM) classification was considered as complete aneurysm occlusion in imaging follow-up.Results:Eighty-seven females and 37 males, aged (56.44±12.17) years (ranging from 27 to 80 years) were enrolled, with a maximum aneurysm diameter of 5.12 (3.73, 7.24) mm. Among the 124 patients, incidence of intraoperative instrument-related complications was 6.5% (8/124); and within 30 days of the procedure, incidence of ischemic complications was 4.8% (6/124) and that of hemorrhagic complications was 1.6% (2/124). Eighty-four patients had a 6-month clinical follow-up, with 1 patient (1.2%) having poor prognosis. Eighty-four patients (67.7%) completed a 6-month imaging follow-up: complete occlusion rate of aneurysms was 82.1% (69/84), incidence of in-stent stenosis (stenosis degree ≥25%) was 4.8% (4/84), and no symptomatic in-stent stenosis was found.Conclusion:Result of this study shows that PED Shield may be an effective and safe clinical option for intracranial unruptured saccular aneurysms.

Objective:To investigate the genetic causes of fetuses with abnormal nasal bone development in early pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted which involved 422 cases of singleton pregnancies with nasal bone development abnormalities indicated by ultrasound screening at 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days of gestation, who underwent chorionic villus sampling for prenatal diagnosis at the Prenatal Diagnosis and Genetic Center, Maternity & Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2015 to May 2023. All cases underwent chromosomal karyotype analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) analysis. Based on whether other abnormal ultrasound indicators were present, the cases were divided into isolated (175 cases) and non-isolated groups (247 cases). The results of invasive prenatal diagnosis, distribution of chromosomal abnormalities, detection of copy number variation (CNV) in fetuses with nasal bone development abnormalities, the relationship between maternal age, number of abnormal ultrasound indicators and chromosomal abnormalities, and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test (continuity correction Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test). Results:(1) Among the 422 cases, 262 cases (62.1%) showed no abnormalities with both detection techniques; 160 cases had abnormalities, including 145 cases (34.4%) had consistent abnormal results and types of abnormalies with the two techniques; two cases (0.5%) had chromosomal translocations detected by karyotype analysis but not by SNP-array analysis; 13 cases (3.1%) had no abnormalities detected by karyotype analysis but had abnormal SNP-array results. This study's overall detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities was 37.9% (160/422), with an additional detection rate of 4.7% (13/275) using SNP-array technology. (2) Among the 160 cases of chromosomal abnormalities, there were 140 cases of aneuploidy, 18 cases of CNV, and two cases of chromosomal translocation. The overall detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities and the detection of aneuploidy, and pathogenic CNV in the non-isolated group was higher than that in the isolated group [74.3% (130/175) vs. 12.1% (30/247), χ2=168.02; 68.0% (119/175) vs. 8.5% (21/247), χ2=163.56; 5.7% (10/175) vs. 0.8% (2/247), χ2=4.74; all P<0.05]. Eighteen cases of CNV were detected using SNP-array technology, including eight cases in the isolated group and ten cases in the non-isolated group. (3) The age of the 422 pregnant women was (33.1±5.4) years. In both isolated and non-isolated groups, the detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities was higher in women of advanced age (expected delivery age ≥35 years) than those not [isolated group: 20.0% (17/85) vs. 8.6% (14/162), χ2=6.55; non-isolated group: 82.1% (69/84) vs. 65.9% (60/91), χ2=5.92; both P=0.010]; regardless of maternal age, the detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities in the non-isolated group was significantly higher than that in the isolated group ( χ2 were 65.28 and 92.42, respectively, both P<0.001). (4) In the non-isolated group, the detection rates of chromosomal abnormalities were 69.0% (78/113) and 83.9% (52/62) when nasal bone abnormalities were combined with one or more other abnormal ultrasound indicators, respectively. When combined with increased nuchal translucency, the detection rate of fetal chromosomal abnormalities was 73.2% (71/97), higher than the detection rate when combined with other single indicators (7/16) ( χ2=5.57, P=0.020). (5) Among the 262 cases with negative karyotype analysis and SNP-array results, 241 cases (92.0%) resulted in live births, with a gestational age at delivery of 39 weeks (32-41 weeks); 12 cases (4.6%) resulted in induced labor, five cases (1.9%) resulted in miscarriage, and four cases (1.5%) were lost to follow-up. The live birth rate in the isolated group was higher than that in the non-isolated group [86.9% (213/245) vs. 20.2% (35/173), χ2=187.00, P<0.001]. Conclusions:Fetuses with nasal bone developmental abnormalities in early pregnancy have a higher detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities and CNV. Invasive prenatal diagnosis is recommended for cases of nasal bone developmental abnormalities in early pregnancy, whether isolated or non-isolated. When combined with other abnormal indicators, the genetic etiology of the fetus is more complex, and detailed genetic counseling should be provided to the patient.

Anticipatory anxiety is a negative emotion that arises when individuals encounter potential threats or uncertainties in the future. It is the core symptom of a variety of anxiety disorders, and is closely associated with the occurrence, severity, treatment outcome, and prognosis of anxiety disorders, which has garnered a growing amount of focus in clinical practice. Nevertheless, scientific research on anticipatory anxiety continues to face obstacles such as unclear pathological mechanisms, the absence of simple and consistent self-assessment tools, and effective interventions. To improve understanding of the role of anticipatory anxiety in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders, this study reviews pertinent domestic and international literature, and briefly introduces the concept, assessment and measurement, activation paradigm, pathological mechanisms, and interventions of anticipatory anxiety.

Objective:To compare the detection rate and time cost of different imaging methods for retinal and optic disc neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Thirty-eight patients (48 eyes) with PDR were enrolled in Henan Eye Hospital from October 2019 to February 2021, including 22 males (28 eyes) and 16 females (20 eyes). The average age of the patients was (51.08±13.35) years.All patients underwent ultra-widefield imaging (UWFI), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), en face optical coherence tomography (OCT), near-infrared fundus imaging (IR) combined with spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT). Wide field swept-source OCTA (WF-SS-OCTA) was performed in the patients who were unsuitable for FFA.The time required for each examination in one eye and the detection rate of neovascularization at the optic disc (NVD) and retinal neovascularization elsewhere (NVE) were recorded.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2021[22]). All patients were informed about the method and purpose of the study and voluntarily signed the informed consent form.Results:The mean monocular examination time costs of UWFI, IR+ SD-OCT, OCTA+ en face OCT, FFA and WF-SS-OCT was (0.51±0.13), (2.08±0.57), (5.79±0.68), (17.66±1.83) and (13.38±1.23)min, respectively.There was a significant overall difference in the mean monocular examination time among the five methods ( F=2 077.960, P<0.001). The detection rates of UWFI, IR+ SD-OCT, OCTA+ en face OCT, FFA+ WF-SS-OCT for NVE and NVD were 52.1%(25/48) and 12.5%(6/48), 81.3%(39/48) and 20.8%(10/48), 83.3%(40/48) and 27.1%(13/48), 93.8%(45/48) and 29.2%(14/48), respectively.There were significant differences in the detection rates of NVE ( χ2=26.460, P<0.001) but not in the detection rates of NVD ( χ2=4.645, P=0.200) among the various methods.Five neovascular buds were detected by OCTA in 3 eyes, but not by FFA. Conclusions:UWFI and IR+ SD-OCT are faster and non-invasive methods for the screening of NVD and NVE in PDR eyes.Compared with FFA, OCTA and en face OCT can show the shape of neovascularization more clearly.FFA provides a wide-range retinal image, but it is time-consuming and invasive.WF-SS-OCTA extends the examination range of OCTA and detects neovascularization non-invasively and faster than FFA.
