Objective:To study the safety and efficiency of endovascular treatment in pediatric severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).Methods:This was a case series study.Data of pediatric severe CVST patients who received endovascular treatment in the Department of Neurointerventional, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The technical success rate, periprocedural complications, neurologic and radiologic outcomes were collected to study the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment in pediatric severe CVST.Results:A total of 15 patients were included in this study, including 6 males(40.0%) and 9 females(60.0%) with a mean age of(14.60±2.26) years.The modified Rankin Scale score(mRS) before endovascular treatment was(3.47±1.06) points, and the time from onset to endovascular treatment was 17(12-26) days.Thirteen patients(86.7%) received mechanical thrombectomy through catheter aspiration and/or stent-retriever thrombectomy followed or not followed by intrasinus thrombolysis(IST), and 2 patients(13.3%) received IST only.The technical success rate was 100%.Three patients(20.0%) had periprocedural complications.Ten patients(66.7%) had mRS≤2 points at discharge.Twelve patients(80.0%) had valuable neurologic and radiologic follow-ups with a duration of 9.5(3.5-19.0) months, and they all had mRS≤2 points.Among the 12 patients, 8(66.7%) had good cerebral venous recanalization.Conclusions:Endovascular treatment is technically feasible in pediatric severe CVST patients, with acceptable safety and efficacy.

The damage caused by space microgravity environment to the body systems of astronauts directly affects their work efficiency.This paper reviewed previous studies on the effects of space microgravity environment and ground simulated microgravity environment on cognition and emotion, potential mechanisms and interventions. It was found that a microgravity environment led to dysfunction in learning, memory, spatial orientation and other aspects, and caused anxiety and depression. The mechanisms of cognitive and emotional impairment associated with microgravity environment are complex, including neuronal damage, brain structure changes, neurotransmitter disorders, synaptic dysfunction, oxidative stress injury, and energy metabolism disorders. Pharmacological approaches such as natural extracts, physical interventions such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and new therapies such as probiotics were expected to reduce cognitive impairment and mood disorders caused by microgravity exposure. With the development of aerospace medicine in China, the potential mechanism and interventions of microgravity environment on cognitive and emotional impairment remain to be further studied.

Objective:To evaluate the necessity, safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment for cerebral infarction caused by middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis with hypoperfusion in the blood supply area of the lenticulostriate artery.Methods:The clinical and surgical data of patients with MCA atherosclerotic disease who underwent endovascular treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 6 patients with cerebral infarction caused by MCA stenosis with hypoperfusion in the blood supply area of the lenticulostriate artery were selected. The preoperative and postoperative clinical imaging characteristics, perioperative complications and follow-up of these 6 patients were summarized and evaluated.Results:After the endovascular treatment, the imaging of the lenticulostriate artery in all the 6 patients was clearer than that before the operation, and the number of main trunks of the lenticulostriate artery shown by imaging in 2 patients was more than that before operation. The computer tomography perfusion of 6 patients after the endovascular treatment showed that perfusion in the supply area of the lenticulostriate artery was significantly improved compared with pre-operation. No stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and death occurred during the perioperative period. The time of clinical follow-up was 360 (322, 495) days, and there were no stroke, TIA or death occurring in the corresponding artery. All the 6 patients underwent imaging follow-up, of which 3 patients underwent digital subtraction angiography and 3 underwent CT angiography. The lumen of the target vessels showed patency in all patients.Conclusions:With rigorous imaging evaluation, endovascular treatment may be safe and effective for cerebral infarction caused by MCA stenosis with hypoperfusion in the blood supply area of the lenticulostriate artery.

Objective:To explore the effect of key amino acid mutations of 3D protein in enterovirus 71 on viral proliferation, and infer the mechanism of mutation affecting viral proliferation according to the tertiary structure model of 3D protein.Methods:The proliferation characteristics of the mutant strain that was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and reverse genetics using the pMD19T-SDLY107-EGFP constructed from the fatal strain SDLY107 as a template were measured. Meanwhile the tertiary structure of the 3D protein was predicted, and then the possible mechanism of the mutation affecting the proliferation ability of the virus was speculated according to the functional characteristics of the domain of the 3D protein.Results:Two mutant viruses, eGFP-EV-A71 (S37N) and eGFP-EV-A71 (R142K), were successfully constructed by double enzyme digestion and viral gene sequencing. The proliferation rate of the two mutant strains in RD cells was significantly lower than that of the parent strains. The 3D protein tertiary structure prediction model showed that the 3D protein consisted of three domains: "Finger" , "thumb" and "Palm" , constituting a cupped right-handed structure. S37N and R142K are located in the "thumb" domain and " finger" domain, respectively. The "thumb" and "finger" domains have important effects on the activity of 3D polymerase and the stability of protein.Conclusions:Mutations at S37N and R142K sites of EV71 3D protein decrease the replication ability of EV71, and these two mutations may affect the proliferation of EV71 virus by changing the 3D protein polymerase activity and the interactions between multiple domains.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors and human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes distribution in patients with condyloma acuminatum (CA) in two regions of Shandong province.Methods:From August 2019 to December 2020, an anonymous questionnaire survey of CA patients was conducted in three hospitals in Jinan City and Jining City, Shandong Province, and samples were collected for HPV typing. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of CA recurrence. HPV typing was detected by PCR-reverse dot blot hybridization.Results:A total of 653 questionnaires were collected, and the valid questionnaires accounted for 98.77% (645/653). Recurrence of the disease occurred in 174 patients, with a recurrence rate of 26.98%. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of CA recurrence among residence time at current address, sexual frequency, genitalia cleaning, and knowledge of preventing HPV infection ( P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression showed that knowing how to prevent HPV infection was a significant factor that influences CA recurrence. A total of 428 patients underwent HPV typing, and the positive detection rate of HPV was 98.60% (422/428). The top three positive rates were HPV6 (57.58%), HPV11 (36.49%) and HPV16 (11.37%). The main type of infection was low-risk HPV, accounting for 51.42% (217/422). Conclusions:CA patients have the phenomenon of "separation of knowledge and action" , so it is necessary to strengthen health education and behavioral intervention, guide the population to correctly treat sexual behavior, and improve self-prevention awareness and risk awareness.

Objective:We try to screen out predictive indicators with higher value by analyzing the differences in clinical and laboratory indicators between severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) group and non-ICU group.Methods:The clinical and laboratory index data of 69 SFTS patients diagnosed in the laboratory in a hospital from June to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to the clinical outcome of the patients, they were divided into ICU and non-ICU groups. The differences in clinical manifestations and laboratory indicators between the two groups were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to screen the more valuable predictive indicators.Results:Compared with the non-ICU group, ICU group SFTS patients had significantly higher procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), adenosine deaminase (ADA), cystatin C (Cys C), α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels ( W=530.0, P=0.003; W=496.5, P=0.015; W=496.0, P=0.015; W=535.5, P=0.002; W=545.5, P=0.001; W=498.5, P=0.013; W=537.0, P=0.002; W=523.0, P=0.004; W=512.0, P=0.007; W=502.0, P=0.012; W=486.0, P=0.023; W=509.0, P=0.008; W=541.0, P=0.002) and significantly lower platelet count (PLT), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), albumin/globulin ratio(A/G) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels ( W=199.0, P=0.024; W=175.5.5, P=0.009; t=-2.9, P=0.004; W=209.5, P=0.036; t=-3.0, P=0.004). ROC result showed that ALP [area under the curve (AUC)=0.804, 95% confidence interval ( CI) (0.679~0.929)] and LDH [AUC=0.805, 95% CI (0.680~ 0.930)] have a higher value for predicting the risk of severe illness. Conclusions:Abnormal liver function, heart function, and renal function indicators in SFTS patients indicate that patients are at risk of exacerbation. Among them, ALP and LDH levels have higher predictive value for risk of severe disease, suggesting that the monitoring of patients with the above symptoms should be strengthened in the clinical nursing process.

Objective:To study the basic characteristics and gene evolution of M segment of fever and thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV)in China.Methods:The full sequence of M fragment of SFTSV strain isolated in China before June 25, 2020 was obtained from GenBank. The BioEdit software was used for multi-sequence alignment and MEGA5.0 software was used to construct the phylogenetic tree to compare the homology of SFTSV, which came from different types and sources.Results:M fragments of 203 SFTSV isolated in China was collected from GenBank database.. Among them, 185 strains were isolated from humans (91.1%), 11 strains were isolated from ticks(5.4%), and 5 strains were isolated from goat, mice and hedgehog (3.5%). Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that C2 genotype was dominant in China, accounting for 42.4% of total. The nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequence homology were 96.4%~100.0%, 94.5%~100.0%, respectively. The homology of human and animal isolates was very high. The nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequence homology were 92.5%~100.0% and 92.0%~100.0%, respectively.Conclusions:Phylogenetic tree analysis of SFTSV isolates in China based on the M fragment showed that C2 genotype was dominant, and there are multiple types of co-circulation. By comparing M and S-segment-based phylogenetic tree, it suggests that SFTSV may potential undergo adaptive conversion from C-type to J-type.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of flow diversion combined with coil embolization in treatment of intracranial aneurysms.Methods:The clinical data of 110 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated by flow diversion in our hospital from April 2015 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. In these patients, 48 were treated by flow diversion combined with coil embolization and 62 were treated by flow diversion alone; the efficacy and safety of patients from the two groups were compared.Results:Blood flow diversion was successfully implanted into all 110 patients, with technical success rate of 100%. Immediate complete occlusion rate in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group (16.7%) was significantly higher than that in the flow diversion group (1.6%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications between flow diversion combined with coil embolization group and flow diversion group (4.17% vs. 4.84%, P>0.05). During the mean follow-up of 6.72±3.80 months, modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores of patients in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group were all 0; one patient had mRS score of 1, one patients had mRS scores of 2, and 60 patients had mRS score of 0 in patients from the flow diversion group; no significant difference was noted between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group had significantly higher rate of complete aneurysm occlusion than those in the flow diversion group (88.3% vs. 66.1%, P<0.05). Conclusions:Flow diversion is an effective and safe strategy in treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Flow diversion combined with coil embolization can effectively promote early healing of aneurysms in selective patients.

Cellular therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a research hotspot in the field of neu-roscience in recent years. Compared with other cells,bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) are one of the most attractive therapeutic cells because BMMNCs can be rapidly isolated from bone marrow,are enriched with stem cells and permit autologous applications. Numerous basic researches showed that BMMNCs trans-plantation can decrease infarct volume and promote neurological outcomes in animal stroke model,indicating BMMNCs transplantation may has therapeutic values in acute ischemic stroke,and the transformation from basic research to clinical applications is on the key phase. In this paper,the progress of BMMNCs transplan-tation is reviewed in acute ischemic stroke on the aspects of BMMNCs component,methods of purification, route of transplantation,therapeutic mechanisms and problems from basic research to clinical application.
