Background: and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking. Methods: This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance. Results: Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal. Conclusions The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

Osteoarthritis （OA） and stroke are common clinical diseases that reduce patients' quality of life and place a burden on families and society. Ruyi Zhenbaowan， a classic prescription in Tibetan medicine， have the functions of clearing heat， awakening the brain and opening orifices， relaxing tendons and promoting meridian circulation， and eliminating yellow water. Clinically， they are used to treat osteoarthritis， post-stroke sequelae， neuropathic pain， and other related conditions. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated their anti-inflammatory， analgesic， and nerve-repairing effects. However， current research remains insufficient regarding the appropriate indications， timing， and efficacy of this medicine in treating relevant diseases. To enhance clinicians' understanding of this medicine and promote its standardized and rational clinical use， a panel of national experts， including clinical specialists， Tibetan medicine practitioners， pharmacologists， and methodologists， formulated this consensus based on clinical experience and evidence-based practice. The Cochrane systematic review framework， the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） system， and the nominal group method were employed to generate seven graded recommendations and 19 consensus-based suggestions. These recommendations clearly define the key points in the clinical application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan， including therapeutic indications， dosage and administration， treatment duration， and medication safety. The consensus specifically addresses the clinical efficacy， appropriate timing of administration， dosage strategies， treatment cycles， and combination medication strategies for treating osteoarthritis and stroke and provides an overview of safety considerations. The aim is to provide standardized guidance for hospitals and healthcare institutions nationwide to ensure the rational application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in the treatment of osteoarthritis and stroke， reduce medication-related risks， and further leverage its clinical advantages. This consensus has been approved and issued by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， with the standard number GS/CACM 369-2024.

Aerobic glycolysis(AEG),as the main pathway of energy metabolism of various malignant tumor cells,is involved in the whole process of the occurrence and development of lung cancer,and plays a key role in inducing tumor proliferation,invasion and metastasis.Traditional Chinese medicine monomers and compounds can regulate the expression of related signaling pathways and key proteases and genes by interfering with AEG pathway,promote the apoptosis of lung cancer cells,inhibit the AEG process and the proliferation and growth of lung cancer cells,and thus play an anti-tumor role.Based on this,this paper summarized the biological function of AEG,the mechanism of regulating lung cancer and the intervention mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine,in order to provide new ideas and scientific basis for the development of clinical drugs for lung cancer.

This study aims to investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal B), the active ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on H9C2 cardiomyocytes injured by oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) through regulating mitochondrial fission and fusion. The process of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury was simulated by establishing OGD/R model. The cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection kit (cell counting kit-8, CCK-8) was used to detect cell viability; the kit method was used to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), total glutathione (t-GSH), nitric oxide (NO) content, protein expression levels of mitochondrial fission and fusion, apoptosis-related detection by Western blot. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) detection kit and Hoechst 33342 fluorescence was used to observe the opening level of MPTP, and molecular docking technology was used to determine the molecular target of Sal B. The results showed that relative to control group, OGD/R injury reduced cell viability, increased the content of ROS, decreased the content of t-GSH and NO. Furthermore, OGD/R injury increased the protein expression levels of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), mitofusions 2 (Mfn2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 (caspase 3), and decreased the protein expression levels of Mfn1, increased MPTP opening level. Compared with the OGD/R group, it was observed that Sal B had a protective effect at concentrations ranging from 6.25 to 100 μmol·L^-1. Sal B decreased the content of ROS, increased the content of t-GSH and NO, and Western blot showed that Sal B decreased the protein expression levels of Drp1, Mfn2, Bax and caspase 3, increased the protein expression level of Mfn1, and decreased the opening level of MPTP. In summary, Sal B may inhibit the opening of MPTP, reduce cell apoptosis and reduce OGD/R damage in H9C2 cells by regulating the balance of oxidation and anti-oxidation, mitochondrial fission and fusion, thereby providing a scientific basis for the use of Sal B in the treatment of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to observe the impact of sinomenine hydrochloride on the proliferation of fibroblasts and the mRNA expression of related genes in knee joint adhesion and contracture in rabbits. Additionally, we sought to explore its potential mechanisms in combating knee joint adhesion and contracture. MethodsFibroblasts were cultured in vitro, and experimental groups with varying concentrations of sinomenine hydrochloride were established alongside a control group. Cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. Changes in the mRNA expression of fibroblast-related genes following sinomenine hydrochloride treatment were evaluated using RT-qPCR. The impact of the drug on serum levels of inflammatory cytokines was determined using the ELISA method, and the expression of related proteins was assessed using Western blot. ResultsSinomenine hydrochloride was found to inhibit fibroblast viability, with viability decreasing as the concentration of sinomenine hydrochloride increased. The effects of sinomenine hydrochloride in all experimental groups were highly significant (P<0.05). At the mRNA expression level, compared to the control group, sinomenine hydrochloride led to a significant downregulation of inflammatory cytokines in all groups (P<0.05). Additionally, the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins significantly increased, while Bcl-2 mRNA expression decreased (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of the PI3K/mTOR/AKT3 signaling pathway also decreased (P<0.05). At the protein expression level, in comparison to the control group, the levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, and TGF-β were significantly downregulated in the middle and high-dose sinomenine hydrochloride groups (P<0.05). The expression levels of cleaved-PARP, cleaved caspase-3/7, and Bax increased and were positively correlated with the dose, while the expression levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and the PI3K/AKT3/mTOR signaling pathway were negatively correlated with the dose. Sinomenine hydrochloride exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on the viability of rabbit knee joint fibroblasts, which may be associated with the downregulation of inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β, promotion of apoptosis-related proteins cleaved-PARP, cleaved caspase-3/7, and Bax, suppression of Bcl-2 expression, and inhibition of gene expression in the downstream PI3K/AKT3/mTOR signaling pathway. ConclusionSinomenine hydrochloride can inhibit the inflammatory response of fibroblasts in adhesive knee joints and accelerate fibroblast apoptosis. This mechanism may offer a novel approach to improving and treating knee joint adhesion.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of femoral component revision surgery in addressing polyethylene sleeve wear in rotating hinge knee joints.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 21 patients who underwent treatment for polyethylene sleeve wear in rotating hinge knee joints at the Department of Orthopaedics, the Fourth Medical Center, PLA General Hospital, spanning from August 2008 to April 2023. There were 8 males and 13 females with a median age of 63(38, 76) years. Among them, 11 cases involved the left side, and 10 cases involved the right side. The average body mass index (BMI) was 25.0(22.5, 31.0) kg/m 2, and all cases underwent unilateral knee joint revision. The time interval from receiving the hinge knee joint prosthesis to revision was 10.5(6.0, 17.0) years, with 18 cases undergoing primary revision and 3 cases undergoing revision for the second time. Revision surgery of the femoral component sleeve was performed in all patients due to polyethylene sleeve wear. Visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint, changes in hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), and Knee Society score (KSS) were collected and recorded to assess the surgical outcomes. Results:All patients were followed up for a median duration of 12.5(11.7, 13.4) months. Preoperatively, the VAS score was 5(3, 7) points, which significantly decreased to 0(0, 1) points at the last follow-up ( Z=5.721, P<0.001). At the last follow-up, the KSS scores decreased from 41.19±13.65 points preoperatively to 79.81±7.80 points, indicating a statistically significant difference ( t=12.560, P<0.001). HKA increased from 174.65°±5.20° preoperatively to 178.71°±2.79°, with a statistically significant difference ( t=5.533, P<0.001). Knee joint ROM increased from 69.05°±34.37° preoperatively to 110.00°±10.12°, also demonstrating a significant improvement ( t=5.960, P<0.001). Notably, patients exhibited knee joint stability with no passive flexion or extension laxity. Conclusion:Femoral component sleeve revision surgery effectively addresses polyethylene sleeve wear in rotating hinge knee joint prostheses, thereby mitigating the substantial loss of bone and soft tissue associated with overall revision procedures. The early postoperative clinical outcomes are promising and indicative of the efficacy of this surgical intervention.

Objective To develop an MRI-based habitat radiomics model for the preoperative prediction of endometrial cancer(EC)molecular subtypes.Methods Patients with pathologically proven EC from two hospitals were included in the training(n=270)and testing(n=70)cohorts.All patients had preoperative MRI and histological and molecular diagnoses.First,the tumor was divided into habitat subregions based on diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)and contrast-enhanced(CE)images.Subsequently,habitat radiomic features were extracted from different subregions of T1-weighted imaging(T1WI),T2-weighted imaging(T2WI),DWI,and CE images.Three machine learning classifiers,including logistic regression,support vector machines,and random forests,were applied to develop predictive models for p53-abnormal endometrial cancer,with model performance validated.The model demonstrating the best overall predictive performance was selected as the habitat radiomics model.Using the same procedure,a whole-region radiomics model based on T1WI,T2WI,DWI,and CE sequences and a clinical model were constructed.The performance of the models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves,and DeLong's test was employed to compare differences between the models.Decision curve analysis was used to assess the clinical benefits of the models'application.Results After feature selection,eight habitat radiomic features were retained to construct the habitat radiomics model,ten features for the whole-region radiomics model,and three clinical features for the clinical model.The habitat radiomics model achieved the highest area under the curve(AUC),with 0.855(0.788-0.922)in the training cohort and 0.769(0.631-0.907)in the testing cohort.DeLong's test showed that the habitat radiomics model outperformed the whole-region radiomics model in the training cohort(P=0.001),but there was no significant difference in the testing cohort(P=0.543).In both cohorts,the habitat radiomics model outperformed the clinical model(P=0.007,training cohort;P=0.038,testing cohort).Decision curve analysis(DCA)demonstrated that this model provided clinical benefit for diagnosis within a threshold probability range of approximately 0.2-0.8.Conclusion The MRI-based habitat radiomics model can accurately predict p53-abnormal EC,outperforming both the whole-region radiomics model and the clinical model,and is useful for the non-invasive molecular subtyping of endometrial cancer before surgery.
