Approximately 30%-40% of epilepsy patients do not respond well to adequate anti-seizure medications (ASMs), a condition known as pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The management of pharmacoresistant epilepsy remains an intractable issue in the clinic. Its early prediction is important for prevention and diagnosis. However, it still lacks effective predictors and approaches. Here, a classical model of pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) was established to screen pharmacoresistant and pharmaco-responsive individuals by applying phenytoin to amygdaloid-kindled rats. Ictal electroencephalograms (EEGs) recorded before phenytoin treatment were analyzed. Based on ictal EEGs from pharmacoresistant and pharmaco-responsive rats, a convolutional neural network predictive model was constructed to predict pharmacoresistance, and achieved 78% prediction accuracy. We further found the ictal EEGs from pharmacoresistant rats have a lower gamma-band power, which was verified in seizure EEGs from pharmacoresistant TLE patients. Prospectively, therapies targeting the subiculum in those predicted as "pharmacoresistant" individual rats significantly reduced the subsequent occurrence of pharmacoresistance. These results demonstrate a new methodology to predict whether TLE individuals become resistant to ASMs in a classic pharmacoresistant TLE model. This may be of translational importance for the precise management of pharmacoresistant TLE.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intrasaccular flow disruptor in intracranial aneurysms, including wide-necked aneurysms.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 102 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with intrasaccular flow disruptor at Department of Neurointervention, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2022 to November 2024 were enrolled; their clinical and imaging data were collected. The aneurysm characteristics and perioperative complications were summarized; aneurysm occlusion was evaluated by Woven EndoBridge occlusion scale (WOS) immediately after surgery and during the follow-up period.Results:Among the 102 aneurysms, 33 were anterior cerebral artery aneurysms, 40 were middle cerebral artery aneurysms, 17 were internal carotid artery aneurysms and 12 were basilar artery aneurysms; 73 aneurysms were regular intracranial saccular aneurysms and 29 were irregular saccular ones (17 of them with daughter sacs); 12 aneurysms were ruptured at acute phase. The surgical success rate was 100%: single intrasaccular flow disruptor was implanted into 95 patients, and stent-assisted or salvage treatments were given to 7 patients). Immediately after surgery, WOS grading A was noted in 5 patients, grading B in 7, grading C in 31, and grading D in 59. Two patients suffered severe perioperative complications and passed away: one patient died for ischemic complications that ensued after stent salvage treatment (parent artery being compressed by intrasaccular flow disruptor); the other patient died for hemorrhagic complications triggered by rupture of an initially unruptured aneurysm following intrasaccular flow disruptor implantation. Among them, 52 patients completed postoperative DSA follow-up, with a median follow-up of 205 (168, 292) days; WOS grading A was noted in 31 patients, grading B in 9, grading C in 8, and grading D in 4 at the last follow-up; the full occlusion rate was 92.3%, and no ischemic or hemorrhagic adverse events occurred.Conclusion:Intrasaccular flow disruptor shows high short-term safety and good efficacy in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Objective:To explore the status quo of fertility information need of breast cancer patients at childbearing age, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From April to October 2023, 400 cases of breast cancer patients of childbearing age in two Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Zhengzhou City were selected by convenience sampling. Patents were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire and the Fertility Information Needs Assessment Questionnaire for Breast Cancer Patients of Childbearing Age. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of fertility information need of breast cancer patients of childbearing age. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed, and 385 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.25% (385/400) .Results:The 385 breast cancer patients of childbearing age had a high level of need for fertility information with an average score of items (3.17±0.73). The scores for each dimension in descending order of the mean score of items were disease impact information, treatment impact information, psychosocial information, fertility management information, sexual health information, and fertility protection information. Age, marital status, education level, per capita monthly family income and duration of illness were the factors influencing the fertility information need ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Breast cancer patients of childbearing age have a high level of need for fertility information, and their need is influenced by a number of factors. Medical and nursing staff should improve the fertility information support program based on the real needs of breast cancer patients, and provide personalized fertility information support for breast cancer patients of childbearing age with different characteristics.

Objective:To digitally analyze and measure the anatomical relationship between screw entry points in the transverse sacroiliac joint geometric channels (S 1, S 2, S 3) and the superior gluteal artery. Methods:Enrolled in this study were 147 healthy volunteers (119 males and 28 females) with an average age of (36.2±18.3) years who had undergone CT examination at Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2020 to May 2024. The geometric channels for screws in the transverse sacroiliac joint S 1, S 2, and S 3 were determined by 3D reconstruction of the pelvic CT scan data. After the shortest distance from the branch of the superior gluteal artery to the screw entry point into the channel was measured for each segment on the left and right sides, interlateral comparisons were performed. Results:Of the 147 volunteers, 107 (72.79%) had transverse sacroiliac joint geometric channels for sacroiliac screws in S 1 vertebrae, 147 (100.00%) had transverse sacroiliac joint geometric channels for sacroiliac screws in S 2 vertebral body, and 22 cases (14.97%) had transverse sacroiliac joint geometric channels for sacroiliac screws in S 3 vertebral body. The shortest distances from the superficial branch of the superior gluteral artery to the entry point of the screw channal were (18.13±2.79) mm at S 1, (30.83±3.43) mm at S 2, and (35.88±4.22) mm at S 3 on the left side, and (18.65±3.21) mm at S 1, (31.41±3.88) mm at S 2, and (34.46±4.13) mm at S 3 on the right side. The shortest distances from the deep superior branch of the superior gluteal artery to the entry point of the screw channel were (20.81±2.93) mm at S 1, and (29.72±4.32) mm at S 2 on the left side, and (21.32±3.13) mm at S 1, and (30.13±4.66) mm at S 2 on the right side. There was no difference in the distance from the screw entry point to the superior gluteal artery in all segments between the right and the left sides ( P>0.05). The distance from the right and left screw points to the superior gluteal artery showed an increasing trend from segment S 1, to segment S 2, and to segment S 3, being the farthest in S 3. Conclusions:Transverse sacroiliac joint geometric (safe) channels at segments S 1, S 2, S 3 exist on imaging in most adults, but they may vary in the risk of injury to the superior gluteal artery. The risk of injury to the superior gluteal artery in fixation with S 1 transverse sacroiliac screws is greater than that with S 2 and S 3 transverse sacroiliac screws. The risk of injury to the superior gluteal artery is the minimal with S 3 transverse screw fixation.
