Objective To investigate the neurovascular coupling(NVC)status in the acute phase of patients with minor ischemic stroke(MIS)or transient ischemic attack(TIA)due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion using multimodal MRI techniques and to explore its correlation with quality of life(QoL).Methods This prospective,consecutive study enrolled patients with MIS or TIA due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion form the Department of Neurology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,between June 2022 and October 2023.Recruit healthy subjects with matched age,sex,and handedness form the community during the same period.Patients were divided into left-sided involvement and right-sided involvement groups based on the affected side of the responsible vessel,while the healthy subjects were set as the healthy control group.Post-hoc power analysis was performed using G*Power 3.1 software.General characteristics(age,gender,body mass index,education level)were collected and compared across all three groups.Clinical data and QoL assessment were collected and compared between the two patient groups.Collected clinical data including type of cerebrovascular events(TIA,MIS),the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score at admission,the responsible vessel(internal carotid artery,middle cerebral artery)and its side location,the degree of responsibility artery stenosis(moderate-severe stenosis[50%-99%stenosis rate],occlusion[100%stenosis rate]),the intracranial collateral circulation status(American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology[ASITN/SIR]collateral circulation grading),cerebrovascular risk factors(hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,smoking history),and the laboratory test indicators at admission(glycated hemoglobin,triglycerides,total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,blood uric acid,blood homocysteine).QoL was assessed using the stroke impact scale(SIS),covering eight functional domains and a patient-reported overall recovery item.Multimodal MR data were acquired for all subjects.Whole-brain cerebral blood flow(CBF)images were generated using statistics parameter mapping 12(SPM 12)software,while regional homogeneity(ReHo)images were generated using DPABI software.The voxel-wise ratio of CBF to ReHo(CBF/ReHo)was calculated as the regional NVC parameter.Differences in regional NVC characteristics were compared between patient groups and the healthy control group.Correlations between NVC parameters and SIS scores within patient groups were explored.Results(1)A total of 38 patients with MIS or TIA due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion were included(26 males,12 females,aged 36-69 years,with mean age of[52±11]years),with 23 in the left-sided involvement group and 15 in the right-sided involvement group.Nineteen healthy subjects were included(10 males,9 females,aged 37-67 years,with mean age of[53±10]years).Post-hoc power analysis showed statistical power of 0.808 for comparing the left-sided involvement group with the healthy control group and 0.762 for comparing the right-sided involvement group with control group.(2)No statistically significant differences were found on gender,age,education level,or body mass index across the three groups(all P＞0.05).No statistically significant differences were observed on the type of cerebrovascular event,cerebrovascular risk factors,distribution of the responsible vessel,degree of stenosis in the responsible vessel,admission NIHSS score,or laboratory test results between the two patient groups(all P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the total SIS score and the scores of subscales between the two patient groups(all P＞0.05).(3)Compared with the healthy control group,the left-sided involvement group exhibited reduced CBF/ReHo values in the left superior and middle temporal gyri,supramarginal gyrus,middle and inferior frontal gyri,precentral gyrus,angular gyrus,postcentral gyrus,insula,and posterior cerebellar lobe(FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).In the right-sided involvement group,reduced CBF/ReHo values were observed in the right supramarginal gyrus,right postcentral gyrus,inferior temporal gyrus,and insula(FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).(4)Correlation analysis revealed that the SIS total score in the left-sided involvement group negatively correlated with CBF/ReHo values in the right inferior frontal gyrus(T=-5.91)and the right middle temporal gyrus(T=-6.65,FDR-corrected,both P＜0.05).The SIS subscale score for activities of daily living in the left-sided involvement group showed negative correlations with CBF/ReHo values in the right angular gyrus(T=-7.36),right medial superior frontal gyrus(T=-6.97),right orbitofrontal cortex(T=-8.99),and left thalamus(T=-7.51,FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).No significant correlation was observed between the SIS total score and CBF/ReHo values in patients with right-sided involvement group.The SIS subscale for communication score in the right-sided involvement group correlated with CBF/ReHo in the left lingual gyrus(T=-12.15),left olfactory cortex(T=-7.68),and right anterior cingulate and paracingulate cortex(T=-9.46,FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).Conclusions Patients with MIS or TIA due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion show abnormal NVC in the acute phase,especially those with left hemisphere involvement,who exhibit more extensive impairments.QoL in left-sided involvement patients is strongly linked to NVC in the right orbitofrontal cortex and right middle temporal gyrus.These findings require further validation in larger-scale studies.

As a common biliary disease, cholelithiasis has high incidence and recurrence rates, with negative impact on patients′ health and quality of life. The causes of cholelithiasis are complex, and recent studies have shown that microorganisms may be associated with the formation and recurrence of cholelithiasis, but the specific relationship between the two has not been fully elucidated. Bile microbiota may be related to the increase of incidence rate of gallstones. Different types of cholelithiasis have different microbial composition. Microorganisms may participate in the formation and recurrence of gallstones by influencing bile composition, promoting the formation of stone cores and other ways. The authors provide a review on the etiology and pathogenesis of cholelithiasis, classification of cholelithiasis, microenvironment of biliary microbiota, and the relationship between biliary microbiota and stone formation, aiming to provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of cholelithiasis.

OBJECTIVE:Prolonged sedentary behavior can acutely reduce peripheral and central vascular function,thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.Interrupting sedentary behavior may be a potential practical strategy to prevent vascular dysfunction caused by prolonged sitting.However,current research findings on its acute effects are inconsistent,and specific application recommendations have not yet been established.This study aims to perform a Meta-analysis on the acute effects of interrupting sedentary behavior on peripheral and central vascular function in adults and to explore its regulatory factors.METHODS:Following PRISMA reporting guidelines,literature search was conducted in March 2024 using the keywords of"interrupting,""sedentary,"and"vascular function"in the Web of Science Core Collection,PubMed,and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)databases.Acute randomized crossover trials addressing the acute effects of interrupting sedentary behavior on peripheral and central vascular function in adults were included.Risk of Bias 2 developed by Cochrane was used to assess bias risk,and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development,and Evaluation(GRADE)system was used to evaluate the evidence level.The"meta"and"metaphor"packages in R(version 4.2.0)were used for main effect aggregation(Hedge's g acted as the effect size indicator),publication bias testing,subgroup analysis,and regression analysis.RESULTS:Twenty-two randomized crossover trials involving 364 subjects(aged 21 to 70 years)were included.Meta-analysis results showed that compared with prolonged sitting,interrupting sedentary behavior acutely improved peripheral vascular blood flow volume(Hedge's g=0.48,95%confidence interval:0.14-0.82,P<0.01,I2=63%,low evidence level),shear stress(Hedge's g=0.65,95%confidence interval:0.37-0.93],P<0.01,I2=54%,moderate evidence level),and flow-mediated dilation(Hedge's g=0.43,95%confidence interval:0.15-0.72,P<0.01,I2=61%,moderate evidence level).Disease had a significant moderating effect on the main effect aggregation for blood flow volume(P=0.01 between subgroups),while the mode(P=0.01 between subgroups)and frequency(P=0.02 between subgroups)of interruptions had significant moderating effects on shear stress.Improvements in peripheral vascular shear stress from interrupting sedentary behavior were affected by age(β=-0.02,95%confidence interval:-0.03-0.01,P=0.09)and body mass index(β=-0.10,95%confidence interval:-0.18 to-0.02,P<0.01).Improvements in flow-mediated dilation were influenced by the total number of interruptions(β=-0.09,95%confidence interval:-0.17 to-0.01,P=0.03)and the duration of sitting during the control period(β=-0.21,95%confidence interval:-0.34 to-0.09,P<0.01).Each additional hour of sitting was associated with a 0.67%reduction in the acute improvement effect of flow-mediated dilation from interrupting sedentary behavior(P<0.01),and acute benefits disappeared when sitting control time exceeded 6 hours.A qualitative systematic review found that interrupting sedentary behavior did not significantly affect pulse wave velocity in various populations but could effectively prevent central vascular function decline in older adults due to prolonged sitting.CONCLUSION:Interrupting sedentary behavior acutely improves peripheral vascular blood flow volume(low evidence level),shear stress(moderate evidence level),and flow-mediated dilation(moderate evidence level)in adults and may prevent or protect against central vascular function decline in older adults due to prolonged sitting(very low evidence level).Characteristics of subjects(disease factors,sex,age,and body mass index),interruption intervention schemes(mode,frequency,total number of interruptions),and duration of sitting control all influence the acute improvement effects of interrupting sedentary behavior on vascular function.It is recommended that adults interrupt sedentary behavior with exercises involving large muscle groups,such as stair climbing,at high frequencies(e.g.,once every 40 minutes)with at least 5 minutes of moderate-to low-intensity activity each time,and limit the cumulative duration of prolonged sitting to no more than 6 hours per day.

Objective:To investigate the effect of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure and ceramic volume fraction on the mechanical properties of polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) composite and reveal its strengthening and toughening mechanism.Methods:In this study, TPMS structures with gyroid (G), primitive (P), diamond (D), and ceramic volume fraction (40%, 55%, 70%, 85%) were designed. Porous zirconia scaffolds were prepared using stereolithography technology, and resin was infiltrated into the scaffolds through a vacuum. Then, the PICN composites were obtained after curing. The bending strength, elastic modulus and fracture toughness of PICN were tested using an electronic universal testing machine, with commercial PICN as the control group. The micromorphology of PICN was observed through stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope. The cytocompatibility of PICN was verified by using cell counting kit, live/dead cell staining and phalloidin staining.Results:The bending strength values of PICN with different ceramic volume fractions ranged from 82.0 MPa to 376.0 MPa, and they gradually increased as the ceramic volume fraction rised. The elastic modulus values of PICN with different ceramic volume fractions ranged from 12.1 GPa to 56.1 GPa. The fracture toughness values of PICN with different ceramic volume fractions ranged from 1.7 MPa·m 1/2 to 6.5 MPa·m 1/2. The bending strength of 85G PICN reached 306.0 MPa, and it had the highest fracture toughness (6.5 MPa·m 1/2) and an appropriate elastic modulus between that of the control group and that of enamel. Under scanning electron microscopy, it could be observed that the cracks branch and deflect at the interface and eventually terminate within the resin phase. After co-culture with PICN, the survival rate of mouse fibroblasts exceeded 80%, indicating that PICN had no cytotoxicity. Conclusions:The PICN composite with TPMS structure can satisfy the mechanical properties and cytocompatibility of dental prosthesis.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of cefoperazone-sulbactam(CS)combined with ulinastatin in the treatment for stroke-associated pneumonia(SAP)after endovascular treatment of acute large vessel occlusive stroke(AIS-LVO).Methods This study retrospectively included patients who developed SAP after endovascular treatment of AIS-LVO admitted to the intensive care unit of the Department of Neurology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from March 2022 to December 2023.Patients were randomly divided into the ulinastatin group(combined application of ulinastatin and CS)and the control group(sole application of CS)using a random number table.Baseline and clinical data,including sex,age,infarct laterality,culprit vessel,trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification,baseline National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,baseline Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score,medical history(hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,atrial fibrillation,past history of stroke),history of smoking and alcohol consumption,admission baseline blood pressure,laboratory test results at admission(including red blood cell count,white blood cell count,neutrophil count,platelet count,random blood glucose levels,albumin,creatinine,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,uric acid,and D-dimer),and endovascular therapies(including mechanical retrieval of thrombus,stenting,balloon dilatation,arterial thrombolysis and combination therapy)were collected from both groups.After the diagnosis of SAP,patients in both groups underwent conventional treatment such as sputum expectoration and clearance,antipyretic and antitussive treatment,oxygen therapy,respiratory support,fluid and nutrition support,along with CS anti-infective therapy.In contrast to the control group,the ulinastatin group additionally received continuous ulinastatin treatment for at least 7 days.The adverse reactions of the two groups after initiating SAP treatment including allergic reactions(such as sudden dyspnea,skin redness,and shock),decrease in peripheral white blood cell count(below 4.0 × 109/L),nausea and vomiting,diarrhea,rash and/or itching,and liver enzymes(aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase)elevation(more than twice the upper limit of normal)were compared between the two groups.The efficacy indicators encompassing arterial blood gas analysis(oxygenation index)and inflammatory factor indicators(interleukin-6[IL-6],procalcitonin)after 7 days of SAP treatment,pneumonia-related symptoms and signs before and after SAP treatment(including body temperature,heart rate,respiratory rate,sputum volume and characteristics,changes in lung rales,etc.),imaging examinations(such as head CT and chest CT).The evaluation of therapeutic efficacy is classified as(1)markedly effective:following treatment,significant relief was observed on pneumonia-related symptoms and signs,with body temperature returned to normal,and arterial blood gas analysis and inflammatory factor indicators returned to normal levels;post-treatment imaging studies reveal that over 2/3 of lung inflammation has been absorbed;(2)effective:after treatment,some improvement was observed in pneumonia-related symptoms and signs,with mild improvement in arterial blood gas analysis and inflammatory factor indicators;post-treatment imaging studies reveal some absorption of lung inflammation;(3)ineffective:no improvement or further deterioration of pneumonia-related symptoms,arterial blood gas analysis,and inflammatory factor indicators after treatment.The arterial blood gas analysis,inflammatory factor indicators and efficacy indicators were evaluated and compared between the control and the ulinastatin group.Compare the prognosis(improvement of the lesion in the chest CT after 7 days of treatment,length of stay in the intensive care unit,total length of hospital stay,and modified Rankin scale[mRS]score assessed via telephone follow-up or outpatient revisit 90 days after endovascular treatment[with an mRS score ≤2 indicating a good prognosis],as well as mortality).Results A total of 99 patients with AIS-LVO who developed SAP after endovascular treatment were included in this study,with 69 males(69.7％)and 30 females(30.3％),and an average age of(68±10)years.Among them,there were 46 cases in the ulinastatin group and 53 cases in the control group.(1)No statistically significant differences were observed in baseline or clinical characteristics between the two groups(all P＞0.05).(2)The overall effective(markedly effective and effective)rate of SAP treatment was greater in the ulinastatin group than that in the control group(89.1％[41/46]vs.69.8％[37/53],P=0.019).(3)No statistically significant differences were observed in serum IL-6 levels,procalcitonin levels,or arterial oxygenation index between the ulinastatin group and the control group before treatment(all P＞0.05).seven days after treatment,the levels of serum IL-6([21.13±14.86]ng/L vs.[64.39±52.95]ng/L)and procalcitonin([0.12±0.11]μg/L vs.[0.31±0.20]μg/L)in the ulinastatin group were significantly lower compared to those before treatment(all P＜0.01),and the arterial oxygenation index was significantly higher than that before treatment([359.35±92.56]mmHg vs.[273.34±95.65]mmHg,P＜0.01).Seven days after treatment,the levels of serum IL-6([21.13±14.86]ng/L vs.[31.90±21.95]ng/L)and procalcitonin([0.12±0.11]μg/L vs.[0.26±0.24]μg/L)in the ulinastatin group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P＜0.01),and the arterial oxygenation index was significantly higher than that of the control group([359.35±92.56]mmHg vs.[314.81±81.97]mmHg,P=0.020).(4)In the ulinastatin group,there was 1 case of nausea and vomiting,1 case of itching and/or rash,and 1 case of elevated liver enzymes,resulting in an adverse reaction rate of 6.5％(3/46).In the control group,there were 2 cases of nausea and vomiting,1 case of itching and/or rash,and 1 case of elevated liver enzymes,resulting in an adverse reaction rate of 7.5％(4/53).No statistically significant differences were observed in the adverse reaction rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).(5)After 7 days of treatment,the ulinastatin group exhibited a greater improvement rate in chest CT lesions compared to the control group(93.5％[43/46]vs.77.4％[41/53],P=0.026).No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the length of stay in the intensive care unit or the total length of hospital stay(both P＞0.05).Additionally,the 90-day mortality rate after intravascular treatment was lower in the ulinastatin group compared to the control group(6.5％[3/46]vs.20.8％[11/53],P=0.040).No statistically significant differences were observed in the good prognosis rate between the two groups(P=0.119).Conclusions Combined treatment with CS and ulinastatin can improve the clinical symptoms,inhibit inflammatory factors and reduce mortality rate in SAP patients after receiving endovascular treatment for AIS-LVO.The results of this study still need to be further confirmed by large-scale prospective studies.

Objective:To investigate the association between serum ferritin levels, erythrocyte parameters, and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 11 408 subjects aged 40 to 70 years who underwent physical examinations at a hospital in Qingdao from 2014 to 2015 were enrolled in the study. Data were collected through questionnaires, physical examinations, and assessments of blood biochemical indices, serum ferritin, and related erythrocyte parameters. A multivariate logistic regression model was employed to analyze the relationship of serum ferritin and red cell parameters with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while a linear regression model was utilized to examine the association between serum ferritin, red cell parameters and fasting blood glucose levels.Results:The median ( Q1, Q3) age of the subjects was 51 (45, 58) years, with 55.3% (6 305) being male. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in women was 5.9% (300/5 103), which was lower than that in men [13.0% (817/6 305)] ( P<0.001).After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, alcohol consumption, and family history of diabetes, serum ferritin levels were found to be positively associated with both type 2 diabetes and fasting blood glucose levels, with OR (95% CI) and β(95% CI) values of 1.70 (1.37, 2.11) and 0.002 (0.002, 0.003), respectively. Additionally, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, and hematocrit were positively correlated with type 2 diabetes and fasting blood glucose, with OR (95% CI) values of 1.72 (1.32, 2.24), 1.91 (1.51, 2.41), and 1.52 (1.17, 1.97), and β (95% CI) values of 0.008 (0.006, 0.011), 0.365 (0.286, 0.445), and 2.543 (1.564, 3.521), respectively. Conversely, mean erythrocyte volume was negatively associated with type 2 diabetes and fasting blood glucose, with OR (95% CI) and β (95% CI) values of 0.54 (0.45, 0.66) and -0.017 (-0.023, -0.011), respectively (all P values<0.001). Conclusion:The findings indicate that serum ferritin and related erythrocyte parameters are significantly correlated with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and fasting blood glucose levels.
