Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2026;43(4):332-337
Objective To investigate the association of baseline cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) with sleep structure disorder after thrombolytic therapy in stroke patients, as well as their value in clinical assessment. Methods A total of 145 patients with stroke were enrolled as subjects, and all of them received thrombolytic therapy in our hospital from January 2023 to June 2025. Before thrombolytic therapy, 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging was used to obtain relative CBF (rCBF) and relative CMRO2 (rCMRO2), and rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio was calculated. At week 1 after thrombolysis, overnight polysomnography (PSG) was conducted to obtain parameters such as total sleep time, sleep efficiency, the proportion of each NREM stage, and REM sleep duration. According to the presence or absence of sleep structure disorder, the subjects were divided into disorder group and non-disorder group. The Pearson correlation method was used for correlation analysis. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors for sleep structure disorder in subjects after thrombolytic therapy. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the performance of rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio in predicting sleep structure disorder in subjects after thrombolytic therapy. Results Compared with the non-disorder group, the disorder group had significantly higher age, infarct volume, NIHSS score on admission, and proportion of patients with infarction in the thalamus (P<0.05). Compared with the non-disorder group, the disorder group had significantly lower rCBF, rCMRO2, rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio, total sleep time, proportion of NREM 3 sleep, proportion of REM sleep, and sleep efficiency (P<0.05) and significantly higher proportion of NREM 1 sleep and sleep arousal index (P<0.05). The Pearson correlation analysis showed that rCBF, rCMRO2, and rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio were positively correlated with total sleep time, proportion of NREM 3 sleep, proportion of REM sleep, and sleep efficiency (P<0.001) and were negatively correlated with the proportion of NREM 1 sleep and sleep arousal index (P<0.001). The Logistic regression analysis showed that age, infarct volume, infarction location (thalamus), and NIHSS score on admission were risk factors for sleep structure disorder in stroke patients after thrombolytic therapy (P<0.05), while rCBF, rCMRO2, and rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio were protective factors against sleep structure disorder (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio had an area under the ROC curve of 0.901 (95% CI 0.869-0.938) in predicting sleep structure disorder in stroke patients after thrombolytic therapy, with a sensitivity of 95.50% and a specificity of 82.40%. Conclusion Baseline rCBF, rCMRO2, and rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio are closely associated with sleep structure disorder in stroke patients after thrombolytic therapy, among which rCBF/rCMRO2 ratio has excellent performance in predicting sleep structure disorder and can be used as a sensitive indicator for clinical assessment of high-risk patients.

With the continuous deepening of the concept of precision diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, how to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment pathways in clinical practice has become an important issue that urgently needs to be overcome. The current clinical difficulty lies in the fact that despite continuous advancements in imaging and molecular diagnostic technologies, there are still limitations in manual efficiency and subjective experience when it comes to massive data analysis and multi-scale feature extraction. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially algorithm systems based on deep learning, is an innovative technology capable of deeply empowering medical big data. This method utilizes algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, combined with radiomics, pathomics, and multi-modal data fusion analysis, demonstrating immense potential in early precise detection and benign-malignant differentiation of pulmonary nodules, digital pathological subtype recognition and non-invasive prediction of driver genes, precise 3D surgical planning and automatic delineation of radiotherapy target volumes, as well as dynamic risk warning during follow-up. This innovative technology provides a brand-new solution for realizing intelligent and individualized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment models. This consensus, based on the latest evidence from evidence-based medicine and combined with the development trends in the AI field and real-world clinical needs, was ultimately formed by gathering the consensus opinions of multidisciplinary experts in radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, and other fields. The main content covers the application specifications of AI in the three core scenarios of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the technical standards for data collection and algorithm validation, as well as the ethical and regulatory challenges faced at the current stage. It aims to clarify the applicable boundaries of AI as a clinical auxiliary decision support tool, providing scientific guidance and standardized exploration directions for peers currently engaged in or planning to carry out AI-assisted clinical diagnosis, treatment, and translation of lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and underlying mechanisms of HydroMg, a novel sustained-release hydrogen donor, in a model of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chronic cardiotoxicity. Methods H9C2 cells were treated with 1 μmol/L DOX and/or 1 μg/mL HydroMg, and mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and apoptosis were measured. In the animal experiment, mice were divided into control, HydroMg, DOX, and DOX+HydroMg groups. The HydroMg group received intraperitoneal injection of HydroMg (100 mg/kg). Chronic cardiotoxicity was established by intraperitoneal injection of DOX (5 mg/kg every week) for four consecutive weeks; In the DOX+HydroMg group, HydroMg (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 4–5 h prior to each DOX injection. Cardiac function and remodeling were evaluated by echocardiography and heart weight index (HWI). The long-term survival of mice were analyzed. Subsequently, transcriptome sequencing was performed on myocardial tissues from the DOX group to identify key molecular alterations compared with controls. Results At the cellular level, HydroMg treatment effectively reversed DOX-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, as evidenced by restored membrane potential, reductions in total ROS and mitochondrial superoxide levels by approximately 30% and 9%, respectively, and a decrease in the apoptosis rate from 34.13% to 18.27%. In the animal model, compared with the DOX group, HydroMg intervention increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (LVFS) by 9.62% and 5.82%, respectively, attenuated the reduction in HWI (4.41 mg/mm vs 3.53 mg/mm), and improved the 4-week survival rate (80% vs 60%). Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the core molecular features of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, including widespread suppression of oxidative phosphorylation and antioxidant pathways. Conclusions HydroMg protects against DOX-induced chronic cardiotoxicity by alleviating oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function, and provides a potential therapeutic strategy against DOX-related cardiotoxicity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and their influencing factors in community-based schizophrenia patients in Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for the early identification and prevention of cardiovascular disease in this population. MethodsBased on the Shanghai community cohort with severe mental disorders in 2022, a total of 3 954 community-based schizophrenia patients were identified and included in this study through a stratified cluster sampling method. Basic information and relevant clinical data (including metabolic index data) were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory testing. Univariate analyses were performed using the chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify influencing factors of comorbid cardiovascular diseases. ResultsA total of 3 954 community-based schizophrenia patients were included, of which a total of 1 237 (31.28%) patients had comorbid cardiovascular diseases. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age 60 years old or above (OR=5.524, 95%CI: 3.716‒8.214), smoking behavior (OR=1.328, 95%CI: 1.042‒1.692), overweight (OR=1.900, 95%CI: 1.046‒3.451) or obesity (OR=2.678, 95%CI: 1.439‒4.985), elevated blood pressure (OR=1.546, 95%CI: 1.294‒1.846), abnormal fasting blood glucose (OR=1.552, 95%CI: 1.322‒1.823) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol abnormalities (OR=1.283, 95%CI: 1.025‒1.606) were positively associated with the risk of comorbid cardiovascular diseases in patients with schizophrenia, while educational attainment of college/bachelor’s degree or above (OR=0.640, 95%CI: 0.450‒0.910) and being unmarried (OR=0.552, 95%CI: 0.457‒0.667) were negatively associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases comorbidity. ConclusionAdvanced age, unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles, as well as abnormalities in blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids, could all increase the risk of comorbid cardiovascular diseases in community schizophrenia patients. It is suggested to strengthen the monitoring and management of these risk factors in this population in the future, so as to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early intervention of cardiovascular diseases.
