Background:
and Purpose In patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) frequently alters thrombus location; however, the clinical impact of this phenomenon remains unclear. We aimed to compare post-IVT thrombus dynamics between tenecteplase and alteplase and to evaluate the association between thrombus dynamics and 3-month outcomes.
Methods:
This retrospective study analyzed prospectively collected, multicenter data from consecutive patients with LVO who underwent bridging therapy between January 2022 and December 2024. Thrombus dynamics were classified as resolution, migration, or stability. Analyses incorporated propensity score matching with weighting to balance baseline characteristics.
Results:
Of the 806 initially included patients, 746 were included after matching (373 treated with tenecteplase and 373 treated with alteplase). The incidence of thrombus migration was significantly higher in the tenecteplase group than in the alteplase group (19.3% vs. 11.3%; odds ratio [OR]: 1.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27–2.91). The advantage of tenecteplase over alteplase was restricted to patients with an IVT-to-puncture time of <60 minutes (18.6% vs. 6.2%; p=0.001) and was no longer significant when the interval ≥60 minutes (19.7% vs. 15.0%; p=0.204; pinteraction=0.043). Additionally, thrombus migration was associated with a better functional outcome (OR: 1.62; 95% CI 1.04–2.53). Finally, tenecteplase was associated with improved functional independence compared with alteplase (OR: 1.43; 95% CI 1.04–1.95).
Conclusions
Tenecteplase demonstrated superior efficacy in inducing thrombus migration compared with alteplase, particularly within 60 minutes of IVT administration. Thrombus migration independently predicted improved functional independence. These findings support the preferential use of tenecteplase for bridging therapy in patients with LVO.

Objective To explore the clinical,radiological,and arthroscopic outcomes of anterior cru-ciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction combined with posterior tibial slope(PTS)reducing osteotomy in patients with increased PTS and excessive anterior tibial subluxation(ATS)due to primary ACL inju-ry.Methods This retrospective study included patients who underwent ACL reconstruction between 2016 and 2022 in our department.The inclusion criteria were PTS≥15° and ATS≥6 mm,and all pa-tients received ACL reconstruction combined with PTS reducing osteotomy with a follow-up of more than 2 years.Before and after the operation,they were assessed KT-1000 side-to-side difference(KT SSD),pivot shift grade,Lachman test,anterior tibial subluxation of the medial and lateral compart-ments(ASMC and ASLC),magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),and arthroscopic findings of associat-ed injuries.Moreover,graft laxity was defined as graft laxity observed on MRI or arthroscopy,KT SSD>3 mm,or pivot>1+,while graft failure was defined as graft rupture on MRI or arthroscopy,KT SSD>5 mm,or pivot>2+.Meanwhile,clinical outcomes were compared preoperatively and post-operatively,and graft status and associated injuries were described.Results A total of 30 patients were included,with an average age of 31 years,and 23%of female.The inter-observer reliability for mea-surements of PTS and ATS was greater than 0.80.Compared to preoperative values,postoperative PTS(18.2° vs.6.8°,P<0.001),KT SSD(7.8 mm vs.1.2 mm,P<0.001),ASLC(7.5 mm vs.4.5 mm,P=0.002),and ASMC(5.0 mm vs.2.7 mm,P=0.034),all showed significant improvements.In addi-tion,the proportion of patients with postoperative pivot grade of 2+to 3+(73.3%vs.6.7%,P<0.001)and Lachman grades Ⅱ-Ⅲ(70%vs.3.3%,P<0.001)reduced significantly.At the last follow-up,the incidence of graft laxity was 20%,and that of the graft failure was 13.3%.Among all pa-tients,1 patient(3.3%)had graft roof impingement or cyclops lesion,and 3(10%)suffered from concomitant cartilage injury,with 4(13.3%)undergoing intercondylar notchplasty due to intercondylar notch hyperplasia.However,no complications related to osteotomy,such as infection,non-union,or fixation failure,were observed.Conclusion Over a follow-up period of at least 2 years,for primary ACL injury patients with steep PTS and excessive ATS,combined ACL reconstruction with PTS reduc-ing osteotomy improves knee stability,but significantly reduces PTS,the incidence of severe pivot grade,anterior tibial subluxation in both medial and lateral compartments,and delays the occurrence of graft laxity and failure.

Objective:To observe any effect of combining interactive scalp acupuncture with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in treating the upper extremity motor function of children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.Methods:Fifty-seven children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into a control group of 28 and an observation group of 29. The control group was given conventional rehabilitation and routine CIMT, while the observation group was additionally provided with interactive scalp acupuncture. In the observation group the CIMT lasted for 30 minutes while the needles were retained. Then, after the needles were removed, the family administered simple rehabilitation training for 2.5 hours guided by a rehabilitation therapist. The treatments were administered 5 days per week for 3 weeks as a session, and the whole treatment consisted of 3 sessions. Before, as well as 1 month and 3 months after the treatment, upper extremity motor function in both groups was evaluated using the Melbourne assessment scale 2 (MA2) and the fine motor Peabody developmental motor scales. Muscle tone in the children′s elbow flexors was assessed using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS).Results:After both 1 and 3 months of treatment, the average MA2 scores of both groups were significantly better than those before treatment, with those of the observation group significantly superior to the control group′s averages. After both 1 and 3 months, both groups′ visual-motor integration scores, grasping ability scores and total scores had improved significantly, with those of the observation group significantly better than in the control group, on average. The MAS scores of both groups were also significantly better than before the treatment, but with no significant differences between the two groups at either time point.Conclusions:Interactive scalp acupuncture combined with constraint-induced movement therapy can significantly improve the upper extremity motor functioning and fine motor ability of children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
