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 analysis effectiveness of the "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and "nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy (combined screening strategy) for screenin the imported patients with COVID-19 in Xiamen.Methods:The study populations were overseas travelers arriving in Xiamen from March 17 to December 31, 2020, and overseas travelers who had quarantine outside Xiamen for less than 21 days from July 18 to December 31, 2020. Data were collected and analyzed on the timing of detection, pathways, and test results of the imported patients with COVID-19 after implementing combined screening strategy.Results:A total of 304 imported patients with COVID-19 were found from 174 628 overseas travelers and 943 overseas travelers from other cities. A total of 163 cases (53.6%) were diagnosed by multitime, multisite intensive nucleic acid testing after positive finding in total antibody testing. Among them, 27 (8.9%) were first positive for nucleic acid in 14 plus 7 day quarantine and 136 were first positive for nucleic acid in 14-day quarantine. Only 8 of these individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after positive total antibody testing. The other 128 individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after being negative for average 2.3 times (maximum of 6 times). Aditional 155 cases might be detected by using the combined "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and " nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy compared with "14-day quarantine and nucleic acid testing" strategy, accounting for 51.0% of the total inbound infections. So the combined screening strategy doubled the detection rate for imported patients with COVID-19. No second-generation case caused by overseas travelers had been reported in Xiamen as of February 26, 2021.Conclusions:Xiamen's combined screening strategy can effectively screen the imported patients with COVID-19 who were first positive for nucleic acid after 14 day quarantine. Compared with "14 day quarantine and nucleic acid testing", the combined screening strategy improved detection rate and further reduced the risk of the secondary transmission caused by the imported patients with COVID-19.

Objective To investigate the relationsheep between colonic H2 S‐producing enzyme cystathionine‐γ‐lyase(CSE) and colonic motility in a rat model of diabetes mellitus(DM) .Methods To obtained diabetic rat models ,all rats were injected intra‐peritoneally (ip) 1% streptozotocin (STZ ,65 mg/kg) ,type 1 diabetes model was established ,nornmol conditions were observed pe‐riodically .Ten days after treatment ,production of colonic longitudinal smooth muscle strips ,organ bath recordings were used to test the colonic motility ;immunofluorescence and double immunofluorescence lableling method were performed to detect the distribution of CSE;Western blot were performed on rat colonic samples devoid of mucosa and submucosa to detect the expression of CSE .Re‐sults DM rats decreased the colonic motility(P<0 .05);CSE was strongly expressed in the cytosols of the circular and longitudinal smooth muscle cells and the nucleus of the myenteric plexus neurons ;CSE distributed in myenteric neurons in the nucleus of rat ,but the proportion of MP had no difference (P>0 .05);DM rats increased the expression of CSE in the colon devoid of mucosa and sub‐mucosa(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The decrease of colonic motility in diabetic rat may be associated with the increased production of H2 S‐producing enzyme CSE .

Objective Patients with severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP) always suffer decrease in gastrointestinal motility , even gastrointestinal failure.The article aimed to investigate the changes of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the myenteric plexus of the gastric antrum in rats with severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP) complicated by gastrointestinal dysmotility . Methods Twenty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into two groups:control group and SAP group .Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraductal infu-sion of 5%sodium taurodeoxycholate .24 h after operation , records were made on pathological evaluation of pancreatic lesion , amylase, C-reactive protein ( CRP) , gastric emptying rate and the percentage of VIP neurons in the total neurons . Results Compared with the control group, the gastric emptying rate in the SAP group was significantly lower ([31.49 ±3.96]% vs [70.99 ±1.82]%).The score of pancreatic lesion, amylase, CRP and the percentage of VIP neurons was significantly higher ([14.63 ±1.06]score vs [1.60 ± 0.52]score, [2061.25 ±434.86]U/L vs [360.20 ±30.29]U/L, [140.10 ±17.07]μg/mL vs [35.71 ±6.43]μg/mL, [22.45 ± 4.10]%vs [10.72 ±1.92]%)(P<0.05). Conclusion Plas-ticity took place in VIP neurons in the myenteric plexus of gastric an-trum in rats with SAP complicated by gastrointestinal dysmotility , which was connected with neural mechanism underlying SAP compli-cated by gastrointestinal dysmotility .
