Background:
and Purpose Posterior cerebral artery occlusion (PCAo) can cause long-term disability, yet randomized controlled trials to guide optimal reperfusion strategy are lacking. We compared the outcomes of PCAo patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) with or without intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) to patients treated with IVT alone.
Methods:
From the multicenter retrospective Posterior cerebraL ArTery Occlusion (PLATO) registry, we included patients with isolated PCAo treated with reperfusion therapy within 24 hours of onset between January 2015 and August 2022. The primary outcome was the distribution of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months. Other outcomes comprised 3-month excellent (mRS 0–1) and independent outcome (mRS 0–2), early neurological improvement (ENI), mortality, and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). The treatments were compared using inverse probability weighted regression adjustment.
Results:
Among 724 patients, 400 received EVT+/-IVT and 324 IVT alone (median age 74 years, 57.7% men). The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission was 7, and the occluded segment was P1 (43.9%), P2 (48.3%), P3–P4 (6.1%), bilateral (1.0%), or fetal posterior cerebral artery (0.7%). Compared to IVT alone, EVT+/-IVT was not associated with improved functional outcome (adjusted common odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79–1.43). EVT increased the odds for ENI (adjusted OR [aOR] 1.49, 95% CI 1.05–2.12), sICH (aOR 2.87, 95% CI 1.23–6.72), and mortality (aOR 1.77, 95% CI 1.07–2.95).
Conclusion
Despite higher odds for early improvement, EVT+/-IVT did not affect functional outcome compared to IVT alone after PCAo. This may be driven by the increased risk of sICH and mortality after EVT.

[摘 要] 目的:探讨细胞视黄酸结合蛋白2(CRABP2)在子宫内膜样腺癌组织和细胞中的表达及其对子宫内膜样腺癌细胞增殖与侵袭的影响与其分子机制。方法: 收集2020年6月至2021年4月在衡水市人民医院手术切除的子宫内膜样腺癌组织及配对正常子宫内膜组织,共24对;体外培养人子宫内膜样腺癌细胞An3ca、KLE。采用免疫组化分析及WB法检测子宫内膜样腺癌组织及正常子宫内膜组织中CRABP2的表达情况,采用WB法检测An3ca及KLE细胞中敲低CRABP2表达的效率,并以EDU法及Transwell实验检测敲低CRABP2表达后的An3ca及KLE细胞的增殖及侵袭能力,免疫荧光染色及WB法检测敲低CRABP2表达后的An3ca及KLE细胞中Wnt/β-catenin通路相关关键蛋白(β-catenin、c-Myc、cyclin-D1、MMP7及MMP9)的表达情况。以裸鼠体内成瘤实验观察敲低CRABP2表达对子宫内膜样腺癌细胞移植瘤生长和移植瘤组织中Ki67和β-catenin表达的影响。结果: 与正常子宫内膜组织相比,CRABP2在人子宫内膜样腺癌组织中表达上调(P<0.01)。转染靶向CRABP2的shRNA后,An3ca、KLE细胞中CRABP2的表达降低(均P<0.01);敲低CRABP2表达后An3ca及KLE细胞增殖及侵袭能力均降低(均P<0.01),并且Wnt/β-catenin通路受到抑制(P<0.01)。成瘤实验显示敲低CRABP2表达后,裸鼠体内移植瘤体积明显缩小(P<0.01)。结论: CRABP2可通过调节Wnt/β-catenin通路发挥对子宫内膜样腺癌细胞增殖与侵袭的促进作用。
6.Review on health effects of indoor and outdoor artificial light at night
Journal of Environmental and Occupational Medicine 2023;40(9):1102-1108
A growing number of urban dwellers are being exposed to excessively bright artificial night light induced by the development of high-intensity, high-density cities around the world. The adverse health effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) are increasingly becoming a global public health issue. Investigating the effects of built environment, especially ALAN, on public health has progressively developed into a cross-disciplinary research hotspot since the World Health Organization launched the Healthy Cities Project. Numerous studies found the links between ALAN and multiple negative health outcomes. However, to date, no review has summarized the health impacts of ALAN in China. This article systematically outlined the progress of research on the health effects of indoor and outdoor ALAN, including sleep disorders, obesity, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, cognitive function, and mental health. We pointed out the limitations of current research such as errors in exposure assessment, lack of research in developing countries, weak causal argument, and difficulty in controlling confounding factors. Future research should improve study design, conduct quantitative studies, and explore potential mechanisms, so as to provide scientific evidence for improving urban lighting planning and urban architectural design.

Objective:b> To explore the difference in intensive care unit (ICU) readmission rate between high dependency unit (HDU) and general ward for the patients with severe liver disease (SLD), and reflect the effect of HDU on SLD patientse. Methods:b> A clinical cohort of patients transferred out of ICU was established, and patients with severe liver disease who were transferred to HDU& general ward from July 2017 to December 2021 in the intensive care Unit of the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were continuously enrolled. The main liver function indexes and MELD scores between the two groups were compared. Analyze the differences in severity and ICU readmission rate of SLD patients transferred to different wards, and clarify the role of HDU in the management of SLD patient. Area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) was used to investigate the value of MELD score in predicting the occurrence of return to ICU. Results:b> The level of INR, TB, ALT and MELD scores of SLD patients transferred to HDU were significantly higher than those of patients transferred to general ward (all P < 0.05). MELD > 17 was found in 70.7% of SLD patients transferred to HDU group, while MELD ≤ 17 was found in 61.9% of SLD patients in general ward group. The ICU readmission rate of all patients in this cohort was 11.4%. By MELD quartile stratification, patients with SLD whose MELD > 23 had a significantly higher ICU readmission rate (20.0%) than those with SLD whose MELD ≤ 23 (8.6%) (P = 0.020). The ICU readmission rate was 8.2% when MELD ≤ 23 in the HDU group and 9.1% when MELD > 23, showing no significant difference (P = 1.000). The ICU readmission rate was 8.8% when MELD ≤ 23 in the general ward group. ICU reentry rate increased significantly to 36.4% when MELD > 23 (P = 0.001). MELD Score predicts that the optimal cut-off value of SLD patients in general ward readmitted to ICU was 23.5. Conclusion:b> The high dependency unit could better admit patients with SLD who were transferred out of ICU and required step-down treatment, and significantly reduced the ICU readmission rate of patients with SLD who were transferred out of ICU with MELD > 23. The patients with SLD and MELD score > 23 are suitable to be transferred from ICU to HDU.
