Objective To investigate the influencing factors associated with early neurological deterioration(END)in patients with minor acute ischemic stroke(mAIS),develop a clinical prediction model for END,and identify independent risk factors for 90-day neurological functional outcomes after stroke.Methods mAIS patients admitted consecutively to the Department of Neurology,Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College(the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College),from July 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected.A minor ischemic stroke was defined as acute ischemic stroke with a National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score≤5 on admission.Baseline,clinical,and imaging data of all mAIS patients were collected and recorded,including demographic information(age,sex),past medical history(hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hyperlipidemia,coronary heart disease,atrial fibrillation),smoking history,alcohol consumption,baseline blood pressure,pre-onset modified Rankin scale(mRS),NIHSS scores at admission and during hospitalization(24 hours,48 hours,72 hours after admission),motor component subscore of the NIHSS scores,NIHSS scores at discharge,trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification,laboratory indicators(fasting blood glucose,hemoglobin A1c[HbA1c],total cholesterol,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein),clinical treatment information(intravenous thrombolysis,mono antiplatelet therapy,dual antiplatelet therapy,anticoagulation therapy)and length of stay.The status of stenosis and occlusion in the culprit vessel were assessed based on imaging results.Mild-to-moderate stenosis was defined as a stenosis rate of 0%to 69%,severe stenosis as a stenosis rate of 70%to 99%,and occlusion as complete interruption of the supplying artery.END was defined as an increase in NIHSS score of ≥2 points from baseline within 72 hours after admission,combined with an increase of at least 1 point in the motor score compared to the score at admission.Prognosis was assessed via telephone follow-ups at 90-day after onset using mRS score,with an mRS score ≤ 2 indicating a favorable outcome and an mRS score>2 indicating a poor outcome.Variables with P<0.05 in the univariate analysis were incorporated into multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify the independent risk factors for END in mAIS patients.A nomogram model was constructed,and calibration curves along with decision curve analysis were plotted to evaluate the model's goodness-of-fit and clinical utility.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with poor 90-day functional outcome after mAIS.Results(1)A total of 826 patients were included,aged 33-94 years,with a median age of 67(57,76)years.There were 571 males and 255 females.The NIHSS score at admission ranged from 0 to 5,with a median NIHSS score at admission of 3(2,4).The NIHSS motor subscore at admission ranged from 0 to 5,with a median baseline NIHSS motor score of 2(0,2).Among them,119 patients(14.4%)were in the END group and 707 patients(85.6%)were included in the non-END group.At 90days after stroke,744 patients(90.1%)had a favorable outcome,while 82 patients(9.9%)had a poor outcome.(2)Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between the END group and the non-END group in terms of HbA1c,fasting blood glucose,baseline NIHSS score,baseline NIHSS motor subscore,history of alcohol consumption,diabetes mellitus,culprit vessel stenosis and occlusion,and TOAST classification(all P<0.05).Statistically significant differences were observed between the favorable outcome group and the poor outcome group in HbA1c,fasting blood glucose,incidence of END,baseline NIHSS score,discharge NIHSS score,culprit vessel stenosis and occlusion,TOAST classification,and history of alcohol consumption(all P<0.05).(3)Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that mAIS patients with severe stenosis of the culprit vessel(OR,5.88,95%CI2.32-14.91,P<0.01),occlusion of the culprit vessel(OR,5.74,95%CI 2.25-14.62,P<0.01),history of alcohol consumption(OR,5.59,95%CI3.41-9.17,P<0.01),elevated HbA1c(OR,1.67,95%CI 1.35-2.08,P<0.01),and higher baseline NIHSS motor score(OR,1.43,95%CI 1.08-1.89,P=0.012)had an increased risk of END.A higher discharge NIHSS score(OR,2.59,95%CI 1.89-3.57,P<0.01)and the occurrence of END(OR,18.42,95%CI 5.13-66.18,P<0.01)were associated with poor 90-day functional outcome after mAIS.(4)The nomogram model constructed based on independent risk factors of END in mAIS patients demonstrated an AUC of 0.78(95%CI 0.73-0.83)for predicting END,with a sensitivity of 0.8 and a specificity of 0.7.The model showed good calibration,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated good agreement between predicted and observed values(P=0.333).Decision curve analysis revealed that the model provided a high net benefit across a range of high-risk thresholds(0.1-0.7),suggesting its potential clinical utility.Conclusions Severe stenosis of the culprit vessel,occlusion of the culprit vessel,glycated hemoglobin levels,baseline NIHSS motor subscale scores,and history of alcohol consumption are independent risk factors for END in patients with mAIS.The nomogram model constructed based on these factors demonstrated good predictive performance.END and NIHSS scores at discharge are independent predictors of poor 90-day outcomes in patients with mAIS.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of skeletonized lymph node dissection of No.12 lymph nodes after neoadjuvant therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:For this retrospective case-cohort study we collected data from patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and D2 or more extensive curative resection including No.12 lymph node dissection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January, 2011 to December, 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received skeletonized dissection of No.12 lymph nodes: 177 cases were in the skeletonized group, and 55 cases were in the nonskeletonized group. The differences of prognosis between the two groups were compared, and logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting No.12 lymph node metastasis in the overall cohort and No.12b or No.12p lymph node metastasis in the skeletonized group.Results:A total of 232 patients were included, with 84 females (36.2%) and 148 males (63.8%), with an average age of 56.4±11.6 years. The proportion of female and ycT4 patients was significantly higher in the skeletonized group than in the nonskeletonized group (both P<0.05). Among all 232 patients, No. 12a metastasis occurred in 14 cases (6.0%). In the skeletonized group of 177 patients, No. 12b and No. 12p metastases were observed in 6 patients each (3.4%), and 4 patients had concurrent metastases in both No. 12b and No. 12a. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 45.5% in the skeletonized group and 42.8% in the nonskeletonized group, with no statistical difference (HR=0.755, 95%CI: 0.488-1.168, P=0.580). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 39.8% and 41.0%, respectively, also with no statistical difference (HR=0.775, 95%CI: 0.513-1.172, P=0.584). 5-year OS for patients without No.12 lymph node metastasis was 48.8%, which was higher than the 15.9% for those with metastasis (HR=0.349, 95% CI: 0.209-0.584, P=0.003). Additionally, the 5-year DFS for those without metastasis was 44.3%, significantly higher than the 5.7% for those with metastasis (HR=0.444, 95%CI: 0.276-0.716, P<0.001). For patients without No. 12b or No. 12p lymph node metastasis, the 5-year OS was 47.6%, and the 5-year DFS was 42.3%, both of which were significantly higher than the 16.7% and 8.3% for those with No.12b or No. 12p lymph node metastasis, respectively (HR=0.353, 95%CI: 0.183-0.681, P=0.005; HR=0.457, 95%CI: 0.244-0.855, P=0.006). Multivariate analysis showed that more advanced ypN stage (OR=3.908, 95%CI:1.638-9.323, P=0.002) and tumor location in the lower stomach or whole stomach (OR=3.533, 95%CI: 1.312-9.511, P=0.012) were independent risk factors for No.12 lymph node metastasis and also for No.12b and No.12p lymph node metastasis (OR=2.426, 95%CI: 1.212-4.856, P=0.012 and OR=4.908, 95%CI:1.182-20.373, P=0.028, respectively). Conclusion:Patients with advanced gastric cancer who have more advanced ypN stage and tumor location in the lower stomach or whole stomach have a higher risk of No.12b and No.12p metastasis and thus require further skeletonized lymph node dissection of No.12.

Objective:To compare the complications in young adults with femoral neck fracture after internal fixation with compression buttress screws (CBS) versus 3 parallel partially threaded cannulated screws (PTS).Methods:A prospective study was conducted of the 120 young adults with femoral neck fracture who had been treated from July 2016 to December 2017 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital. Of them, 60 were subjected to PTS fixation (control group) and 60 to CBS fixation (observation group) according to their will. In the control group, there were 38 males and 22 females with an age of (46.1±7.6) years, and 17 cases of types Ⅰ-Ⅱ and 43 cases of type Ⅲ by the modified Pauwels classification; in the observation group, there were 42 males and 18 females with an age of (44.8±8.1) years, and 11 cases of types Ⅰ-Ⅱ and 49 cases of type Ⅲ. The 2 groups were compared in postoperative complications. A stratified analysis was performed according to the modified Pauwels classification.Results:Comparability was indicated between the 2 groups because there was no significant difference in their baseline demographic information ( P>0.05). The incidences of fixation failure (8.3%, 5/60), nonunion (5.0%, 3/60), femoral neck shortening<10 mm(10.0%, 6/60) and lateral withdrawal (11.7%, 7/60) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [38.3% (23/60), 28.3% (17/60), 41.7% (25/60) and 71.7% (43/60), respectively] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head or of medial migration between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The stratified analysis showed that the incidences of fixation failure and nonunion in the observation group were significantly lower than in the control group for fractures of the modified Pauwels type Ⅲ ( P<0.05). The incidences of femoral neck shortening<10 mm and fixation loosening in the control group were significantly higher than in the observation group for fractures of all the modified Pauwels types ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with conventional PTS fixation, CBS fixation can significantly reduce postoperative complications in young adults with femoral neck fracture, especially those with high energy fracture of the modified Pauwels type Ⅲ.
