Objective:To analyze the incidence, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients presenting with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) as an initial symptom.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on BAO patients with PSH manifestations who received endovascular treatment at Xingtai Central Hospital between January 2018 and August 2024. Demographic characteristics, clinical data, imaging findings, and follow-up information were collected.Results:A total of 136 BAO patients were included, of whom 22 cases (16.2%) were diagnosed with PSH. The age of the patients was (56.81±9.92) years, with males accounting for 86.4%(19/22). On admission, the Glasgow Coma Scale score was 4(3, 5), and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 30(25, 35). The successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction 2b-3) rate was 90.9%(20/22). In-hospital mortality was 50.0%(11/22), symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation occurred in 4.5% (1/22), and any type of intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 9.1%(2/22). Clinical features of PSH included tachycardia, tachypnea, hypertension, fever, diaphoresis, and increased muscle tone. Imaging analysis showed a high proportion of cerebellar (100.0%, 22/22) and midbrain (72.7%, 16/22) involvement. The 90-day follow-up showed that 72.7%(16/22) of the patients had poor functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score of 4-6), and the 90-day mortality rate was 59.1%(13/22).Conclusions:Among patients with BAO undergoing endovascular therapy, the incidence of PSH as the initial manifestation was 16.2%(22/136). These patients were predominantly middle-aged men and commonly presented with tachycardia, tachypnea, hypertension, fever, diaphoresis, and increased muscle tone. Imaging findings mainly involved the cerebellum and midbrain. Despite a relatively high rate of recanalization, patients with PSH exhibited a higher risk of mortality and poor functional outcomes.

Perinatal depression is a psychological disorder that occurs during pregnancy and within one year of delivery, which can seriously affect the physical and mental health of pregnant and postpartum women, as well as the cognitive and behavioral abilities of offspring, with potential multigenerational effects. Therefore, it is important to identify its potential modifiable risk factors. Phthalic acid esters (PAEs), as common environmental endocrine disruptors, can affect maternal estrogen through multiple mechanisms and are important potential modifiable risk factors for developing maternal perinatal depression. At present, studies on the correlation between PAEs and perinatal depression are still very limited, and the mechanisms by which PAEs affect perinatal depression have not been clarified. Based on existing epidemiological and toxicological studies at home and abroad, the article briefly introduced the characteristics of multiple pathways, high doses, and long-term exposure to maternal PAEs, focused on reviewing the current status of epidemiological studies, pointed out the possible associations between some specific PAEs exposure and elevated risk of perinatal depression. It also summarized the potential roles of hormone-neurotransmitter pathway, inflammation mediation, gene regulation, and other possible mechanisms in the association between exposure to PAEs and perinatal depression. The article concluded with a look at how future research on the association between exposure to PAEs and perinatal depression can be scientifically validated, with a view to providing more high-quality evidence for the scientific prevention of the onset and progression of maternal depressive symptoms.

Objective To construct Raji-Luc lymphoma cells with CD19 knockout using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and preliminarily validate their immune escape ability.Methods PB-CRISPR-CD19 small guide RNA(sgRNA)plasmids was constructed,the optimal sgRNA sequence was screened,and Raji-Luc cells with pCAG-PBase,PB-CD19 sgRNA,and PB-CRISPR-Cas9 were co-transfected.Stable knockout monoclonal cell lines were screened by flow sorting and limit dilution method and the knockout effect was verified through gene sequence testing.The expression of luciferase on the surface of the cell line was detected by microplate reader,CD19 CAR-T and CD38 CAR-T previously constructed in the laboratory were used as effector cells,and the immune escape ability of Raji-Luc CD19 KO cell line was verified by universal luciferase chemiluminescence method.Results The transfection efficiency of Raji-Luc CD19 KO cells prepared by electro transfection was high,and the knockout efficiency of the two monoclonal cells was more than 99%.There was no significant difference in luciferase expression compared to the original Raji-Luc cells,and CD19 CAR-T cells could not be activated to the kill them.Conclusion Successfully constructed Raji-Luc CD19 KO lymphoma cell line.

[Objective]To elucidate the pathogenesis and treatment of neck-shoulder syndrome based on the viewpoint of"liver depression and Qi stagnation"of the theory of five viscera Qi activity.[Methods]From the viewpoint of"liver depression and Qi stagnation"in the theory of five viscera Qi and the etiology and pathogenesis of neck-shoulder syndrome,the theoretical correspondence between the two was discussed,and based on the viewpoint of"liver depression and Qi stagnation",it established the therapeutic principles and acupuncture prescriptions of neck-shoulder syndrome,and cited a case to support it.[Results]The viewpoint of"liver depression and Qi stagnation"is rooted in the liver governing Qi of the five viscera Qi activity theory,taking liver depression and Qi stagnation as the foundation.The pathogenesis of neck-shoulder syndrome is characterized by the mixture of asthenia and sthenia of the specimen,mainly liver dysfunction and Qi stagnation,on the basis of which it causes the formation or combination of stasis,dampness and other excess evils.To analyze the pathogenesis of neck-shoulder syndrome from"liver depression and Qi stagnation",acupuncture treatment should not only pay attention to liver and gallbladder,take into account Qi stagnation at the same time,but also pay attention to its evolution of stasis,dampness and other pathogenic factors,which are closely related to the generation of neck-shoulder syndrome.To guide the treatment of neck-shoulder syndrome with"liver depression and Qi stagnation"and related theories,should take dredging liver and gallbladder and Qi as the key,it is required to start from the acupuncture and moxibustion to harmonize the meridian-collateral Qi activity,and cooperate with the knife-edge needle,and clinical practice supports the rationality of the theory.The medical case listed was neck-shoulder syndrome,and the syndrome was liver depression and Qi stagnation.The main treatment was to dredge liver Qi to relieve pain,and the use of acupuncture and knife-edge needle had obtained better clinical effect.[Conclusion]The view of"liver depression and Qi stagnation"is consistent with the pathogenesis of neck-shoulder syndrome,which opens up a new way for the treatment of neck-shoulder syndrome.

Objective:To analyze the effect of perineural invasion(PNI)on immune cell infiltration in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)by the CIBERSORT deconvolution algorithm.Methods:The pancreatic cancer patients from the dataset GSE102238 were re-evaluated for the severity of PNI.And then the high and low PNI subgroups were subjected to immune scoring and immune cell infiltration analysis using the ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT algorithms to find immune cell subgroups associated with PNI.Finally,the results were validated by tissue microarrays.Results:Twenty-five cases were selected from 50 pancreatic cancer specimens for PNI reassessment and then divided into two high and low groups.Compared to the low PNI group,specimens from patients in the high group showed significantly less CD8+T-cell infiltration(P<0.05)and significantly more resting memory CD4+T-cells and M0 macrophages(P<0.05).Significantly reduced CD8+T cells(P<0.01)and slightly increased CD4+T cells(P<0.05)were confirmed in the patients with the high PNI using tissue microarrays.Meanwhile,macrophages significantly increased in the high PNI group(P<0.001).Conclusion:High PNI in PDAC inhibits infiltration of CD8+T cells which promote the infiltration of macrophages.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for Trousseau’s syndrome (TS) in patients with acute multiple cerebral infarctions (AMCI).Methods:The patients with AMCI in Suzhou Kowloon Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from July 2013 to March 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. The demographic and baseline clinical data of patients with TS and those without TS were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of TS-AMCI, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of NLR for TS-AMCI. Results:A total of 59 patients with AMCI were enrolled, including 43 males and 16 females, aged 64.9±14.0 years. There were 16 patients in the TS-AMCI group and 43 in the non-TS-AMCI group. The proportions of patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and previous stroke or transient ischemic attack in the TS-AMCI group were significantly lower than those in the non-TS-AMCI group (all P<0.05), while the proportion of patients with ischemic heart disease were significantly higher than that in the non-TS-AMCI group ( P<0.05). The proportion of patients with bilateral infarction in the TS-AMCI group was significantly higher than that in the non-TS-AMCI group ( P<0.001). The D-dimer, NLR, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, monocyte count, percentage of neutrophils, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the TS-AMCI group were significantly higher than those in the non-TS-AMCI group (all P<0.001), while the lymphocyte count, lymphocyte percentage, red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit were significantly lower than those in the non-TS-AMCI group (all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high NLR was an independent predictor of TS-AMCI (odds ratio [ OR] 2.897, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.270-6.527; P=0.011), while high hemoglobin was independently negatively correlated with TS-AMCI ( OR 0.839, 95% CI 0.723-0.975; P=0.022). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of NLR for predicting TS-AMCI was 0.929 (95% CI 0.831-0.979; P<0.001). When the NLR cutoff value was 4.01, the corresponding Youden index was 0.744. At this time, the sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 74.42% respectively. Conclusion:NLR has high predictive value for TS-AMCI.
