Objective To investigate the risk factors for concomitant acute ischemic stroke(AIS)in elderly patients with cervical artery dissection(CAD)based on high-resolution vessel wall mag-netic resonance imaging(VW-MRI)features,and to construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 125 CAD patients admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to April 2024.According to complication of AIS or not,they were divided into a concomitant group(52 cases)and a non-concomitant group(73 cases).The general data and VW-MRI features were collected and analyzed in the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analy-sis was used to identify the risk factors for AIS in CAD patients.Then a nomogram prediction model was constructed,and ROC curve was plotted to analyze its predictive efficacy.Results Sig-nificantly larger proportions of smoking history,hypertension and hyperlipidemia,and higher LDL-C level were observed in the concomitant group than the non-concomitant group(50.00％vs 30.14％,P=0.024;42.31％vs 12.33％,P=0.000;36.54％vs 10.96％,P=0.001;1.15±0.36 mmol/L vs 1.03±0.31 mmol/L,P=0.048).The incidences of multiple lesions,double lumen sign,high signal intensity of intramural hematoma,intralumenal thrombus,and severe vascular stenosis/occlusion were obviously higher(38.46％vs 16.44％,P=0.005;44.23％vs 13.70％,P=0.000;48.08％vs 16.44％,P=0.000;50.00％vs 12.33％,P=0.000;28.85％vs 5.48％,P=0.000),while that of moderate vascular stenosis was notably lower in the concomitant group than the non-concomitant group(44.23％vs 63.01％,P=0.037).Smoking history,hypertension,hy-perlipidemia,number of lesions,double lumen sign,signal intensity of intermural hematoma,in-traluminal thrombus,and severity of stenosis were risk factors for AIS occurrence in CAD pa-tients(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).For our risk prediction model based on the above risk factors,calibra-tion curve analysis showed a consistency index(C-index)of 0.856,Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated X2=5.947,P=0.625,and an AUC value was 0.924(95％CI:0.833-0.961,P＜0.05),with a sensitivity and a specificity of 88.86％and 75.36％,respectively.Conclusion Smoking history,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,number of lesions,double lumen sign,signal in-tensity of intermural hematoma,intraluminal thrombus,and severity of stenosis are risk factors for AIS occurrence in CAD patients.Our nomogram model based on these factors has a good pre-dictive performance for the complication of AIS in these patients.

Combining the latest literature and clinical practice, the authors describe the clinical application and research progress of yttrium-90 micro-sphere selective internal radiation therapy in primary liver cancer.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia (IIH) in the patients with non-in vitro cardiac hybrid operation,and to construct a nomogram prediction model. Methods The clinical data in 429 cases of non-in vitro cardiac hybrid surgery in this hospital during 2019-2022 were collected.Whether IIH occurring served as the outcome indicator.The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen out the significant independent influencing factors,and the no-mogram model was constructed.The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the discrimination of the model,the calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency of the mod-el,and the Bootstrap resampling method was used for conducting the internal validation.Results The inci-dence rate of IIH in 429 cases was 72.26％.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the basal body temperature,intraoperative heparin use amount,BMI,warming methods and anesthesia duration were the independent influencing factors for the IIH occurrence in the patients with non-in vitro cardiac hybrid op-eration.The AUC value of the constructed nomogram model was 0.916 (95％CI:0.885-0.947) with good discrimination and consistency.Conclusion The nomogram model constructed in this study has the high pre-dictive value,which could provide the reference data for carrying out clinical IIH preventive measures.

Objective:To observe the effect of Hippocampus kelloggi on GRP-78/PERK/ATF-4 signal pathway and explore its mechanism on improving spinal cord injury. Methods:A total of 36 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group and hippocampus group with 12 rats in each group. Only laminectomy was performed in the sham operation group. The spinal cord injury model was prepared in the model group and hippocampus group. Rats in the hippocampus group were given 10 ml/kg Hippocampus kelloggi extract by gavage for 14 days. Basso Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) score was used to evaluate the motor function of the limbs. The neuron morphology was observed by Nissl staining. The expression of GRP-78, p-PERK and ATF-4 proteins were detected by Western blot, the expression of GRP-78 and ATF-4 mRNAs was detected by qPCR, Caspase-3 and Caspase-12 were detected by ELISA, and the apoptosis was detected by TUNEL. Results:Compared with the model group, the BBB score of hippocampal group increased on the 7th, 9th, 11th and 14th day after operation ( P<0.05). For hippocampus group, the relative expression of GRP-78 (0.49 ± 0.06 vs. 0.74 ± 0.03), p-PERK (0.63 ± 0.04 vs. 0.81 ± 0.06) and ATF-4 (0.51 ± 0.06 vs. 0.69 ± 0.05) protein were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), GRP-78 mRNA (0.54 ± 0.05 vs. 0.63 ± 0.06) and ATF-4 mRNA (0.61 ± 0.06 vs. 0.78 ± 0.04) were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the content of Caspase-3 and caspase-12 were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate of hippocampal group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Hippocampus kelloggi can regulate the stress response of the endoplasmic reticulum after spinal cord injury by inhibiting GRP-78/PERK/ATF-4 signaling pathway to promote the repair of neurons.

Objective To compare the ventilatory effects between three-way laryngeal mask airway (TLMA)and tracheal catheter (TC) on hemodynamics, respiratory function and stress responses on patients during bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Method Forty patients scheduled for BAL under general anesthesia were divided (stratified sampling) into either TLMA group (group T,n = 20) or TC group (group C, n = 20) according to the stratified sampling principle. SpO2, SBP, DBP and HR were measured in 5 min after entering the operating theater (To), just before inserting TLMA or TC(T1), immediately after inserting TLMA or TC(T2) ,3 min(T3), 5 min(T4), 10 min(T5)after mechanical ventilation, 10 min(T6),20 min(T7), 30 min(T8)during the course of BAL,immediately after extubating TLMA or TC (T9)and 3 min after extubating TLMA or TC (T10). The tidal volume (VT), peak inspiratory airway pressure (Ppeak) and end expiratory CO2 pressure(PETCO2)were recorded at T2,T4,T6,T7, T8, T10. The venous blood samples were taken at T0, T2, T3, T4, T6, T9, T10 for the measurements of epinephrine(AE), norepinephrine(NE)and dopamine (DA) levels with high performance liquid chromatography.Data were dealt with SPSS version 10.0 statistic software. The variables of hemodynamics and stress responses were analyzed with ANOVA of repeating test data. P ＜ 0.05 means the difference in statistical significance. Results In group C, SBP, DBP and HR were significantly higher than those in group T at T2 ,T3 ,T9 (P ＜ 0.05). In group C, the levels of Ppeak were significantly higher than those in group T at T6 ,T7 ,T8 (P ＜ 0.05), and the concentrations of AE, NE and DA were also significantly higher in group C than those in group T at T2, T3 and T9 (P ＜0.05). Conclusions Ventilation with TLMA in patients during BAL is better than TC in respects of keeping stable ventilation, stable hemodynamics and producing less stress responses.

Three-way laryngeal mask airway (tLMA) was used in 31 patients aged 4-68 yr, weighing 10- 79 kg undergoing tracheal foreign body removal under general anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 3 mg/kg, vecuronium 0.12 mg/kg and remifentanil 0.4 μg/kg. tLMA was inserted. The patients were mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of propofol 2 mg . Kg-1 ? H-1, vecuronium 0.08 mg·kg-1·h-1 and remifentanil 0.15 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 . Radial artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and blood sampling. The operation time was 6-34 min and mechanical ventilation time 19-45 min. There was no significant change in SP, DP, HR, VT, Ppeak and Ppeak CO, during operation as compared with the baseline values before anesthesia. SpO2 was significantly increased at T2-6. PCO2, PO2 and O2sat were obviously improved after tLMA was used. All the patients emerged bom anesthesia within 30 min after operation. No aspiration, obvious gastrointestinal inflation, and pharyngeal and laryngeal edema and injury occurred. Mild agitation occurred in a short time during the recovery period in one patient. No complication occurred.
