Objective:To investigate the computed tomography (CT) imaging features of patients with chronic hydrocephalus after intracerebral hemorrhage surgery and the difference between endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and ventricular peritoneal shunt (VPS).Methods:A total of 158 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who received surgical treatment in the Department of Neurosurgery of the People′s Hospital of Jinan from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects, including 78 patients with chronic hydrocephalus after surgery as the hydrocephalus group, and 80 patients with no hydrocephalus after surgery as the non-hydrocephalus group, and the CT imaging data of the patients were statistically analyzed. Hydrocephalus group was divided into ETV group (42 cases) and VPS group (36 cases) according to different treatment methods. The efficacy and quality of life of the two groups were compared, and the incidence of complications in the two groups were counted.Results:There was no significant difference between hydrocephalus group and non-hydrocephalus group in the site of cerebral hemorrhage, hematoma morphology and the proportion of patients with mixed signs, lobular signs and black hole signs (all P>0.05). The proportion of patients with ventricular dilation and hematoma enlargement in hydrocephalus group was significantly higher than that in non-hydrocephalus group (all P<0.05). The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of hydrocephalus patients in the two groups were measured continuously at different time points, and there was no significant difference in NIHSS scores between the ETV group and the VPS group before treatment, at 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the ETV group and the VPS group ( P>0.05). The recurrence rate of the ETV group was lower than that of the VPS group ( P<0.05). The quality of life scores of patients in ETV group were higher than those in the VPS group at 3 months and 6 months after surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CT examination of patients with chronic hydrocephalus after intracerebral hemorrhage will show obvious characteristics of hematoma enlargement and ventricle enlargement. The efficacy of ETV and VPS in the treatment of chronic hydrocephalus after intracerebral hemorrhage surgery is similar, but the former has a lower recurrence rate and a higher postoperative quality of life.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coil embolization in ruptured anterior communicating wide-necked aneurysms.Methods:Thirty-two patients with ruptured anterior communicating wide-necked aneurysms accepted Neuroform Atlas stent assisted coil embolization in Department of Neurosurgery, People's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2022 to June 2023 were chosen. DSA was performed immediately after surgery, and aneurysm embolization was assessed using Raymond grading. Prognoses were assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS, mRS scores≤2 as good prognosis and mRS scores>2 as poor prognosis) at last follow-up. DSA was performed again 6 months after surgery to assess the aneurysm healingResults:Neuroform Atlas stents were successfully implanted in all 32 patients; Postoperative DSA showed that aneurysm embolization reached Raymond grading I in all 32 patients(100%). No such complications as in-stent thrombosis, cerebral vasospasm, or poor opening of the stent were noted excepted for one with intraoperative aneurysm rupture hemorrhage. At the last follow-up, 31 patients had good prognosis and 1 had poor prognosis; in 22 patients underwent DSA re-examination, Raymond grading I was noted in 20 patients (90.91%) and grading II in 2 (9.09%).Conclusion:Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coil embolization for ruptured anterior communicating wide-necked aneurysms seems safe and effective.

Objective:To analyze the disease burden of Parkinson's disease (PD) in China from 1990 to 2021 and predict the disease burden of PD from 2022 to 2030.Methods:Based on the data of PD incidence in China from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), changes in PD disease burden from 1990 to 2021 were analyzed. Age-period-cohort model was used to analyze the independent influences of age, period and cohort in PD incidence (according to age group of 5 years, patients were divided into 15 groups: group of 20-24 years, group of 25-29 years..., and group of 90-94 years; according to a 5-year period, patients were divided into 6 groups: group of 1992-1996, group of 1997-2001..., and group of 2017-2021; because of birth cohort=period-age, patients were divided into 20 birth cohorts: birth cohort of 1897-1906, birth cohort of 1902-1911..., and birth cohort of 1992-2001). Nordpred model was used to predict the disease burden of PD from 2022 to 2030.Results:(1) From 1990 to 2021, number of PD patients, and PD incidence and standardized incidence in China showed upward trends. The standardized incidence increased by 89.68% for the total population, 89.71% for males, and 77.64% for females. (2) PD incidence was low in young subjects and increased obviously in subjects aged 60 years. PD incidence in subjects aged 20-24 years or 90-94 years was 0.07/100 000 and 643.31/100 000, respectively. Compared with female subjects, male subjects aged 60-94 years had higher PD incidence. (3) The onset relative risk increased from 0.71 (95% CI: 0.69-0.73) in group of 1992-1996 to 1.17 (95% CI: 1.16-1.19) in group of 2017-2021 in the total population, increased from 0.68 (95% CI: 0.66-0.70) to 1.18 (95% CI: 1.16-1.21) in males, and increased from 0.75 (95% CI: 0.73-0.77) to 1.14 (95% CI: 1.12-1.16) in females. (4) Onset relative risk was 0.40 (95% CI: 0.33-0.48) in the earliest birth cohort (1897-1906), which increased to 1.81 (95% CI: 0.95-3.43) in the latest birth cohort (1992-2001). (5) Number of PD patients in males, females and total population in China would increase to 455 010, 301 173 and 756 183, respectively, and the standardized incidence would increase to 56.45/100 000, 32.28/100 000 and 43.40/100 000, respectively, till 2030. Conclusion:PD disease burden in China from 1990 to 2021 is severe, particularly among males and the elderly; the disease burden is projected to continue rising up till 2030.

Objective:To establish an early prediction model based on triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and procalcitonin (PCT) for patients of acute pancreatitis (AP) complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI), and evaluate the diagnostic value of prediction model.Methods:This study was a single center prospective study. AP patients were recruited from the Emergency Department at Peking University People’s Hospital from January to December 2022. The observation endpoint was 14 days after the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, patients were divided into AKI and control (no AKI) groups according to the observation endpoint. The general characteristics, clinical laboratory examinations, complications, and clinical scores were compared. The risk for AKI development was determined using logistic analyses to establish a risk prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the model were calculated, and the diagnostic value of the model was compared with that of Ranson score, APACHEⅡ score and BISAP score.Results:A total of 258 patients were selected for this study, including 79 in the AKI group and 179 in the control group. There was no significant difference in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the AKI group had a higher proportion of males, older age, and had a higher proportion of hypertension. The ratio of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, PCT, and TyG were significantly increased. The Ranson score, APACHE Ⅱ score, and BISAP score were higher, and more patients had ARDS and serous fluid accumulation in the later period. Multivariate logistic regression showed that age ( OR=1.071, 95% CI: 1.020-1.125, P=0.006), increased TyG index ( OR=2.632, 95% CI: 1.423-4.866, P=0.002), and elevated PCT ( OR=1.275, 95% CI: 1.067-1.524, P=0.008) were risk factors for AKI in AP patients. According to the risk factors, forecast the AP patients complicated with AKI risk assessment model is established: Logistic (AKI/AP) = -16.697+0.069×age+ 0.968×TyG+0.243×PCT. The sensitivity and specificity of the model for predicting AKI in AP were 79.75% and 96.65%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.856 (95% CI: 0.790-0.922). The predictive ability was better than that of Ranson score, BISAP score and APACHE Ⅱ score (AUC: 0.856 vs. 0.691 vs. 0.745 vs. 0.705, P=0.041). Conclusion:The prediction model based on age, TyG and PCT was valuable for the prediction of AP concurrent AKI in early stage.

Objective: To explore the relationship between lifestyle and myopia and construct Nomogram model to predict myopia risk among primary school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a scientific basis for precision myopia prevention and control. Methods: From April to July of 2022, a census method was used to conduct vision testing and lifestyle related questionnaires among 373 180 primary school students in 15 districts of Tianjin. The relationship between lifestyle and myopia was analyzed by the multivariate Logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed to predict myopia risk. Results: The detection rate of myopia among primary school students in Tianjin was 37.6%. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression showed that daily outdoor activity time of 1-2 h ( OR =0.94) and >2 h ( OR =0.84), time of using daily electronic devices of >2 h ( OR =1.03), daily paper materials reading and writing time of 1-2 h ( OR =1.02) and >2 h ( OR =1.09), weekly fresh vegetable intake of 2-6 times ( OR =0.93) and ≥7 times ( OR =0.88) were statistically correlated with myopia ( P <0.01). The Nomogram prediction model showed that the factors associated with myopia were grade, family history of myopia, gender, daily outdoor activity time, weekly frequency of fresh vegetable intake, daily paper materials reading and writing time, and time of using daily electronic devices time. Conclusions The lifestyle of primary school students in Tianjin is associated with myopia. The constructed nomogram model could provide a scientific basis for identifying key intervention populations for myopia prevention and taking targeted prevention and control measures.

Objective:To investigate the effects of gene silencing inducible cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on neuronal cell edema, apoptosis, autophagy and neural functional recovery in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:SPF-grade adult male SD rats ( n=96) were used to establish a cerebral hemorrhage model through stereotactic injection of thrombin VII into the caudate nucleus. They were randomized (random number) into 4 groups ( n=24/group): control group, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) group, COX-2 RNAi group and combined group (COX-2 RNAi+HBO). The siRNA plasmid targeting silencing COX-2 gene expression was constructed. After group treatment, the four rats were randomly selected from each group for testing in each category. Postoperative day 1, 7, and 14 were assessed using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) for evaluating neurofunctional deficits. On the 7th day, the water content of the brain tissue was measured using the dry/wet weight method. The blood-brain barrier permeability was assessed using the Evans method. Annexin V and TUNEL assays were employed to assess the apoptotic rate of neural cells. The mRNA expression level of COX-2 in brain tissue was determined using the RT-PCR method. The protein expression levels of Beclin-1, COX-2, aquaporin 4 (AQP-4), B cell lymphoma/lewkmia-2 (Bcl-2), caspase-3, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and matrix metalloprotein-2/9 (MMP-2/9) were detected by Western blot (WB). SPSS software was used for data analysis. One-way ANOVA was used for inter group comparisons and LSD- t test was used for further pairwise comparison. Results:The SD rat intracerebral hemorrhage model and plasmid construction were successfully achieved. The mNSS scores were significantly decreased in COX-2 RNAi, HBO and combined groups compared with control group on the 7th day and 14th day (all P<0.01), especially in combined group ( P<0.01). The contents of Evans blue and the water content of brain tissue of all treatment groups were significantly lower than those in control group (all P<0.05), especially in combined group ( P<0.01). The apoptotic rate of neural cells decreased in all treatment groups compared with the control group (all P<0.05), and the combined group decreased the most ( P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of COX-2 were significantly decreased in all treatment groups compared with the control group (all P<0.01), and combined group silenced COX-2 expression most obviously ( P<0.05). The results of WB showed that the protein expression levels of Beclin-1, COX-2, AQP-4, Caspase-3, HIF-1α, MMP-2/9 were significantly lower than control group (all P<0.05), while the expression of Bcl-2 was increased in all treatment groups (all P<0.01). Among them, the combined group exhibited the most pronounced trend ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Gene silencing of COX-2 in combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy can effectively restore neurological function in rats with cerebral hemorrhage. The mechanism may be associated with reduced blood-brain barrier permeability, alleviated brain edema, and inhibition of neuronal apoptosis and autophagy.
