Objective:
To understand the characteristics of injury cases in Longhua District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province from 2021 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for the development of injury prevention and control measures.
Methods:
The data of injury cases in the first visit due to injury in the sentinel hospitals of Longhua District from 2021 to 2024 were collected from the Shenzhen Injury Surveillance System. The time, cause, place, activity, intention, nature, position, severity, and outcome of injury were described.
Results:
From 2021 to 2024, a total of 167 524 injury cases were reported in Longhua District, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.89∶1. The incidence of injuries was higher in cases aged 30-<45 years (49 957 cases, 29.82%). Injuries mainly occurred from July to August (31 272 cases, 18.67%). The main cause of injury was falls (52 048 cases, 31.07%). Injuries mainly occurred at home (64 110 cases, 38.27%). Leisure activities were the main activities when injuries occurred (79 008 cases, 47.16%). Most of the injuries were unintentional (159 173 cases, 95.02%). The main type of injury was contusion/abrasion (71 900 cases, 42.92%). The main injury site was upper limb (64 247 cases, 38.35%). Most injuries were mild (131 369 cases, 78.42%). The main injury outcome was discharge after treatment, 160 882 cases (96.04%). The second cause of male injury was blunt force injury (30 140 cases, 27.49%), and the second cause of female injury was animal injury (14 648 cases, 25.31%). Fall was the leading cause of injury in people aged 0-<15 years and ≥65 years, and blunt force injury was the leading cause of injury in people aged 15-<65 years. The second place for male injuries was industrial and construction places (23 722 cases, 21.64%), and for female injuries was school/public places (9 644 cases, 16.66%). The first place for injuries in people aged 45-<65 years was in industrial and construction places. The proportions of fractures, moderate injuries, and hospitalizations increased with age (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The main injury cases in Longhua District were males and people aged 30-<45 years. July and August were a period of high risk for injuries. People aged 0-<15 years and ≥65 years were the high-risk groups of falls. More attention should be paid to the fracture risk in the elderly.

Objective:To investigate the perioperative adverse events and complications of flow-diverter devices in the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. The clinical and imaging data of 174 patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with flow-diverter devices in the Department of Neurointervention, Department of Neurology, the First Medical Center of Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 63 males and 111 females, with an age of (53.9±11.4) years (range:23 to 76 years).The occurrence, development and outcome of perioperative complications and related adverse events during treatment were collected and analyzed. The degree of aneurysm embolization was evaluated using the O′Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading system,with OKM grade C and D as successful occlusion.Results:A total of 187 flow-diverter devices (from 7 different brands) were implanted in 174 patients (with 294 aneurysms). Of these, 151 cases involved standalone stent embolization, 26 cases involved stent embolization combined with coil assistance, and 5 cases involved the use of two flow-diverter devices simultaneously. Twenty-nine cases (16.7%,29/174) suffered intraoperative adverse events, including 10 cases of poor stents deployment, 3 cases of stents migration into the aneurysm sac, 1 cases of abnormal guidewire movement, 4 cases of ischemic events. Complications occurred in 10 patients (5.7%, 10/174), and neurological deficits occurred in 5 patients (2.9%, 5/174). A total of 129 patients completed follow-up for more than 12 months after surgery. There were 117 aneurysms with OKM grade D and 22 with OKM grade C, showing a satisfactory healing rate of 77.7% (139/179).Conclusion:The effect of flow-diverter devices in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms is satisfactory, but complications and adverse events cannot be ignored, especially the relatively high incidence of perioperative adverse events, which requires neurointerventional physicians to be vigilant.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coiling in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms.Methods:This was a retrospective, single-center observational study of 77 patients who underwent endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using the Neuroform Atlas device at the Department of Neurology, People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from July 2020 to May 2022. There were 34 males and 43 females, with a median (range) age of 59 (23-81) years. The degree and effect of aneurysm embolization were evaluated by modified Raymond grading post procedure and after 6 months. Complications occurring during the perioperative period were recorded. Vaso computed tomography was performed immediately after the operation to assess stent opening and adherence. Digital subtraction angiography was performed 6 months after discharge and the aneurysm was classified as cured, stable, or recurrent.Results:A total of 87 Atlases were successfully released in 77 cases. Angiography performed immediately after the embolization revealed 19 (24.7%) modified Raymond grade Ⅰ, 10 (13.0%) grade Ⅱ, and 48 (62.3%) grade Ⅲa cases. Three perioperative complications were observed including thrombotic events in 2 cases and stent migration in 1 case. A follow-up angiogram was available for 47 aneurysms, and showed that modified Raymond grade Ⅰ occlusion was achieved in 38 (80.9%) cases, grade Ⅱ in 2 (4.3%) cases, and grade Ⅲa in 7 (14.9%) cases. At the 6-month follow-up, 38 patients were cured and 7 were stable, whereas 2 patients experienced a recurrence of aneurysm. Stenosis of the parent artery occurred in 3 (6.4%) cases, including 2 at the head and 1 inside the stent.Conclusions:The results of this preliminary study suggest that Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coiling has a high occlusion rate and low incidence of complications in the endovascular treatment of aneurysms. However, the effectiveness of this procedure for large aneurysms and long-term outcomes require further investigation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of endovascular stenting of various types of venous sinus stenosis in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).Method:Clinical, radiological, and manometric data before and after stenting in venous sinus stenosis were retrospectively analyzed in 99 IIH patients who were refractory to medical therapy or rapidly progressed between July 2004 to July 2019. The follow-up period was between 2.3 months to 11 years.Results:Our study enrolled 21 men (21.2%)and 78 women (78.8%) with average body mass index (BMI) 19.2-40.6(27.0±4.4) kg/m2 and median age 37 years. Before stent placement, the mean transverse sinus stenosis gradient was 1-59(26±8) mmHg. Patients with extrinsic stenosis were younger than those with intrinsic and mixed stenosis. In all cases, stenting was effective for papilledema. Fifty patients complained of headaches. Pulsatile tinnitus in twenty-eight patients completely alleviated after stenting. In one patient, replacement of stent did not improve symptoms, and a subsequent CSF diversion procedure was performed and effective.Conclusion:Irrespective of the type of stenosis, stenting of venous sinus stenosis is an effective treatment for IIH. Patients with persistent papilledema post-stenting and elevated transverse pressure pre-stenting should be followed closely as high risk of stenting failure may occur and further diversion procedure is needed.

Objective To investigate the risk assessment,guiding role,and clinical value of Vaso CT image features for recanalization of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion. Methods From January 2016 to May 2017,14 patients with vertebrobasilar junction occlusion admitted to the Department of Neurology, Chinese PLA General Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative cerebral angiography confirmed vertebrobasilar junction occlusion. Vaso CT was used to measure the length of the occluded vessels and vascular direction at both ends. According to these results, the operative risks were evaluated and the recanalization of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion were guided. Results The length of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion was 2. 56-19. 09 mm (mean 4. 5 ± 2. 1 mm) in 14 patients,and 13 of them were treated with the recanalization of vertebrobasilar artery occlusion,the blood vessels of 12 cases were successfully recanalized and stent placement was performed after the recanalization,among them,8 Solitaire stents and 4 Wingspan stents were implanted;One patient did not perform recanalization because of longer length of occlusion (19. 09 mm). All patients operated did not have any perioperative complications, and the neurological symptoms were significantly improved after procedure. Conclusion Vaso CT can accurately determine the surgical risk of the recanalization of vertebrobasilar junction occlusion,and can guide the surgical pathways,reduce the incidence of perioperative complications,and improve the success rate of the operation.

Stroke has become the leading cause of death in Chinese residents. As the cornerstone of the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke, aspirin can prevent the occurrence and recurrence of ischemic stroke in a certain extent. However, some patients stil have vascular events after taking aspirin regularly or higher platelet aggregation rate. This phenomenon is caled aspirin resistance or aspirin low reactivity. This article reviews the occurrence, detection methods, and treatment measures of aspirin resistance in patients with ischemic stroke.
