Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with minor ischemic stroke (MIS) and tiny unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA).Methods:Patients with MIS and tiny UIA admitted to the Department of Neurology, Weifang People's Hospital from October 1, 2022 to February 29, 2024 were included retrospectively. MIS was defined as baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤3. Tiny UIA was defined as UIA with a diameter of ≤3 mm. According to the antiplatelet therapy regimen, the patients were divided into an aspirin alone group and an aspirin+clopidogrel DAPT group. The main outcome measure was the clinical outcome at 90 days after onset. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-1 was defined as a good outcome and >1 was defined as a poor outcome. Secondary outcome measures included aneurysm rupture, cerebral hemorrhage, and recurrence of cerebral ischemic events. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent influencing factors for poor outcome. Results:A total of 183 patients with MIS and tiny UIA were included, including 108 males (59.0%), median aged 68 years (interquartile range, 61-73 years). All the UIAs were solitary. The mRS score of all patients before onset was 0; 152 patients (83.1%) had good outcome at 90 days after onset, 31 (16.9%) had poor outcome, and no UIA occurred rupture bleeding. Of the 94 patients (51.4%) who received aspirin monotherapy, 14 patients (14.9%) experienced recurrent cerebral ischemic events during follow-up, and 73 (77.7%) had good outcome. Of the 89 patients (48.6%) who received DAPT, 5 (5.6%) experienced recurrent ischemic events during follow-up, and 79 (88.8%) had good outcome. The recurrence rate of cerebral ischemic events in the aspirin group was significantly higher than that in the DAPT group ( χ2=4.227, P=0.040), while the good outcome rate was significantly lower than that in the DAPT group ( χ2=4.006, P=0.045). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline NIHSS score was an independent risk factor for poor outcome (odds ratio 4.597, 95% confidence interval 1.864-11.339; P=0.001), while DAPT was an independent protective factor for good outcome (odds ratio 0.265, 95% confidence interval 0.079-0.892; P=0.032). Conclusion:Compared with aspirin monotherapy, the short-term combination of aspirin and clopidogrel in patients with MIS and tiny UIA may improve the outcome, reduces the recurrence of cerebral ischemic events, and has good safety.

Purpose: Prostate cancer (PCa) is an epithelial malignancy that originates in the prostate gland and is generally categorized into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups. The primary diagnostic indicator for PCa is the measurement of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values. However, reliance on PSA levels can result in false positives, leading to unnecessary biopsies and an increased risk of invasive injuries. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an efficient and accurate method for PCa risk stratification. Many recent studies on PCa risk stratification based on clinical data have employed a binary classification, distinguishing between low to intermediate and high risk. In this paper, we propose a novel machine learning (ML) approach utilizing a stacking learning strategy for predicting the tripartite risk stratification of PCa. Methods: Clinical records, featuring attributes selected using the lasso method, were utilized with 5 ML classifiers. The outputs of these classifiers underwent transformation by various nonlinear transformers and were then concatenated with the lasso-selected features, resulting in a set of new features. A stacking learning strategy, integrating different ML classifiers, was developed based on these new features. Results: Our proposed approach demonstrated superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 0.83 and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value of 0.88 in a dataset comprising 197 PCa patients with 42 clinical characteristics. Conclusions This study aimed to improve clinicians’ ability to rapidly assess PCa risk stratification while reducing the burden on patients. This was achieved by using artificial intelligence-related technologies as an auxiliary method for diagnosing PCa.

Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry(LC-ESI-MS)is a widely utilized technique for in vivo pharmaceutical analysis.Ionization interference within electrospray ion source,occurring between drugs and metabolites,can lead to signal variations,potentially compromising quantitative accuracy.Currently,method validation often overlooks this type of signal interference,which may result in systematic errors in quantitative results without matrix-matched calibration.In this study,we conducted an investigation using ten different groups of drugs and their corresponding me-tabolites across three LC-ESI-MS systems to assess the prevalence of signal interference.Such in-terferences can potentially cause or enhance nonlinearity in the calibration curves of drugs and metabolites,thereby altering the relationship between analyte response and concentration for quanti-fication.Finally,we established an evaluation scheme through a step-by-step dilution assay and employed three resolution methods:chromatographic separation,dilution,and stable labeled isotope internal standards correction.The above strategies were integrated into the method establishment process to improve quantitative accuracy.

Lateral epicondylitis is a common clinical disease with characteristics of lateral elbow pain, insidious onset and easy recurrence, which can cause forearm pain and decreased wrist strength, seriously affecting patients′ daily life and work. Although there are various treatment methods for lateral epicondylitis with different effects, standard treatments are still lacking nowadays. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has good effects on bone and tendon repair, and is now widely used in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. However, there is a lack of a unified understanding of the technology and specifications of PRP in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. Therefore, the Sports Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Branch of the Chinese Medical Association organized experts in the fields of sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine in China to formulate the "clinical expert consensus on platelet-rich plasma treatment for lateral epicondylitis (2022 version)", and proposed suggestions based on evidence-based medicine mainly from the concept, epidemiology and pathophysiology of lateral epicondylitis, symptoms, signs and imaging manifestations of lateral epicondylitis, PRP concept and application component requirements, quality control of PRP preparation technology, indications and contraindications of PRP in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, PRP injection in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, application of PRP in the operation of lateral epicondylitis, related problems after PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, evaluation of the results after PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, and health and economic evaluation of PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, so as to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
