Objective To explore the influencing factors of poor prognosis after successful recanalization of symptomatic acute internal carotid artery occlusion(AICAO)by applying endovascular therapy(EVT)technology.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of the clinical and imaging data of 62 symptomatic AICAO patients.After collateral evaluation and recanalization therapy,we obtained flat CT and DSA images,together with the findings of the collateral circulation assessment.At 24.0±6.0 hours after surgery,head plain CT scans were reexamined,and at 14 days after surgery or at discharge,neurological function was assessed using the NIHSS scale.Using the modified Rankin scale,we assessed neurological function and prognosis over a 90-day period.Results Each of the 62 patients had a TICI grade of 2b or 3 and was successfully recanalized.On average,it took 124.36±66.31 minutes from puncture to recanalization.Two instances involved iatrogenic dissection,while twelve cases had intraoperative distal thrombus escape episodes.Of all the patients,32 ones(51.6％)had a fair prognosis,whereas 30 patients(48.4％)had a bad prognosis.The two patient groups differed significantly in the ASPECT score,preoperative NIHSS score,intraoperative balloon catheter usage,postoperative 24 hour and 14 days NIHSS score,postoperative 14 days neurological function,and all-cause mortality within 90 days(all P＜0.05).The best intervention threshold for preoperative NIHSS score was 11.5 points,and both the preoperative NIHSS score and intraoperative BGC utilization were independent predictors influencing poor outcome.Conclusion The preoperative NIHSS score and intraoperative BGC usage are independent predictors of 90-day poor prognosis in AICAO patients with symptomatic AICAO who underwent successful recanalization via endovascular therapy.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of chronic hepatitis C(CHC)patients with hepatitis C virus genotype 3(HCV GT3)infection and the risk factors for disease progression.Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted among 1 002 CHC patients from 11 clinical centers in Northwest China from December 2017 to November 2023,and according to their genotype,they were divided into GT1,GT2,GT3,and GT6 groups.Clinical features were compared between the patients with different genotypes.The one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups,and the Scheffe test was used for further comparison between two groups.The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of data with skewed distribution between groups;the chi-square test or Fisher test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors for the progression of CHC to liver cirrhosis.Results In terms of the genotype,there were 427 patients with GT1 infection,242 with GT2 infection,299 with GT3 infection(210 patients with GT3a infection,87 with GT3b infection,and 2 with unclassified genotype),and 34 with GT6 infection.The patients with GT3 infection had a significantly younger age than those with GT1 infection(51.3±0.5 years vs 53.2±0.6 years,P<0.05)or GT2 infection(51.3±0.5 years vs 53.7±0.8 years,P<0.05),and for the patients with liver cirrhosis,the patients with GT3 infection had a significantly younger age than those with GT1 infection(52.1±0.5 years vs 59.4±0.9 years,P<0.001)or GT2 infection(52.1±0.5 years vs 58.1±1.1 years,P<0.001).Among the patients with GT3 infection,male patients accounted for 77.9%and the patients with liver cirrhosis accounted for 46.2%,which were significantly higher than those among the patients with GT1,GT2 or GT6 infection(all P<0.001).At baseline,the patients with GT3 infection had significantly higher levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)than those with GT1 or GT2 infection,significantly higher aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index(APRI)and fibrosis-4(FIB4)than those with GT1,GT2 or GT6 infection,a significantly lower platelet count(PLT)than those with GT2 or GT6 infection,a significantly higher level of alpha-fetoprotein than those with GT2 or GT6 infection,and a significantly lower level of albumin(Alb)than those with GT6 infection(all P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the patients with GT3a infection and those with GT3b infection in age,sex,the proportion of patients with liver cirrhosis,comorbidities,HCV RNA quantification,PLT,ALT,AST,alkaline phosphatase,Alb,APRI,and FIB-4(all P>0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PLT≤150×109/L(odds ratio[OR]=10.72,95%confidence interval[CI]:5.76-35.86,P<0.001)and Alb≤35 g/L(OR=3.74,95%CI:1.22-11.45,P=0.021)were risk factors for liver cirrhosis.Conclusion Most CHC patients with GT3 infection are male in Northwest China,and compared with the patients with other genotypes,such patients tend to have a younger age of onset and higher degrees of liver inflammation activity and fibrosis.Low PLT and a low level of Alb are risk factors for progression to liver cirrhosis in CHC patients with GT3 infection.

The incidence of myopia is increasing year by year and the trend of younger age is obvious. The situation of myopia prevention and control is very serious. The sclera is the target organ for the development of myopia. When myopia occurs and develops, the ultrastructure of the sclera tissue will undergo pathological changes, resulting in a decrease in its tensile strength, then progressive axial growth and posterior sclera expansion. Scleral collagen cross-linking can effectively increase the hardness and tensile strength of scleral tissue, which may have great potential in the prevention and control of myopia, especially pathological myopia. At present, the effectiveness of scleral collagen cross-linking technology in the prevention and treatment of pathological myopia researches are still in the stage of animal experiments, and there are a lot of controversies on the safety. The development of any new technology to ensure safety is the primary condition. A comprehensive understanding of the safety of scleral collagen crosslinking in the prevention and control of myopia can provide more basis and guidance for the further study of scleral collagen crosslinking.

Objective To investigate the relationship between underweight and pulmonary function in the general population. Methods A total of 2 350 patients who underwent a pulmonary function examination at Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital from January to June 2019 were selected as the study subjects. The subjects were divided into three groups based on their BMI value including underweight (<18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (BMI between 18.5 kg/m2 and 25 kg/m²), and overweight and obese (≥25 kg/m²). Results Subjects in the overweight group had significantly worse biochemical indicators compared with underweight and normal weight subjects, but the frequency of strenuous exercise of the underweight subjects was significantly lower than that of the other two groups (P<0.001). Compared to the normal weight and overweight groups, the underweight group had lower level of forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), predicted FEV1(%), forced vital capacity (FVC), predicted FVC(%), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) (P<0.001), but higher level of FEV1/FVC, as well as predicted FEV1 (%)<80% and predicted FVC (%)<80%. Multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, the risk of reduced lung function in underweight group increased significantly, and the odd ratios were 2.10 (95%CI 1.98–2.21) and 4.90 (95%CI 4.62–5.18) for FEV1(%)<80% and FVC%<80%, respectively. Conclusion This study demonstrated that in the general population, the underweight was significantly associated with reduced lung function.

Objective To explore optimal suctioning negative pressure in endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan-creatography (ERCP). Methods A total of 131 patients with extrahepatic bile duct stones complicated with infection, who were treated by ENBD after ERCP, were randomly divided into two groups according to intubation dates from September 2013 to December 2014. The patients of two groups were treated with the same medical and nursing care. The pressure of low suctioning negative pressure group (61 cases) was -1--5 kPa and the pressure of high suctioning negative pressure group (70 cases) was -5--8 kPa. The conditions of biliary bleeding, drainage volume, drainage tube obstruction and patient comfort in two groups were compared. Results There were 4 cases of bile occult blood in low suctioning negative pressure group and 9 cases in high suctioning negative pressure group (P>0. 05). The daily biliary drainage volume in low suctioning negative pressure group was (349. 79 ± 108. 26) ml, which was more than that in high suctioning negative pressure group (t=6. 76,P<0. 01). There were 8 cases of drainage tube obstruction in low suctioning negative pressure group, which was less than that of 25 cases in high suctioning negative pressure group (χ2 =8. 83,P<0. 01). There were 2 cases of postoperative vomiting and 4 cases of xiphoid under pain in low suctioning negative pressure group, which were less than those in high suctioning negative pressure group (χ2 =17. 27,3. 89;P<0. 05). Conclusions The optimal suctioning negative pressure in ENBD after ERCP is -1--5 kPa. It can be used in clinical nursing care in order to improve patient comfort and keep the drainage tube unobstructed.
