Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of domestic RECO flow restoration device in endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke(AIS)patients in a real-world setting.Methods From January 2019 to June 2021,consecutive patients with acute intracranial vessel occlusion treated with RECO device from 8 stroke centers in Jiangsu Province were analyzed retrospectively.Baseline and clinical data were collected,including age,gender,baseline modified Rankin scale(mRS)scores,National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score on admission,trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification,responsible location of occlusion,wake-up stroke,and medical history(hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hyperlipidemia,atrial fibrillation,coronary heart disease,peripheral arterial disease),smoking,and alcohol consumption.Furthermore,surgical parameters were collected,including time indicators(intervals between symptom onset,admission,puncture and recanalization),preoperative intravenous thrombolysis,general anesthesia,combination of aspiration,number of passes,first pass effect(modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction[mTICI]grade 3 achieved with s single stent-based thrombectomy),rescue therapy(including thrombectomy with other stents,intra-arterial urokinase thrombolysis,intra-arterial application of tirofiban,emergency angioplasty[stent implantation,balloon dilatation,balloon dilatation combined with stent implantation]),balloon guided catheter and NIHSS score at discharge.The effectiveness indicators included immediate successful recanalization after the operation(mTICI grade ≥ 2b),complete recanalization(mTICI grade 3),and a good prognosis at 90 d after the operation(mRS score ≤2).The safety indicators included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage(sICH)within 24 h after the operation,device-related intraoperative complications(such as thrombus escape,iatrogenic dissection,bleeding at the surgical site),and all-cause mortality within 90 days after the operation.All patients were divided into the anterior circulation occlusion group and the posterior circulation occlusion group according to the location of the responsible occluded vessel,and the effectiveness and safety indexes were analyzed.Results A total of 366 patients with AIS caused by intracranial vessel occlusion who underwent mechanical thrombectomy with the domestic RECO thrombectomy stent were included.The average age was(69±11)years,with 54 patients(14.8％)over 80 years old and 221 patients(60.4％)male.There were 296 patients in the anterior circulation occlusion group and 70 patients in the posterior circulation occlusion group.(1)Immediate successful recanalization(mTICI grade≥2b)was achieved in 337 patients(92.1％),and complete recanalization was achieved in 282 patients(77.0％)immediately after the operation.The average number of thrombectomies was(1.9±1.0)times,and 141 patients(38.5％)achieved recanalization on the first attempt.9 patients(2.5％)used other stents during the operation,and 65 patients(17.8％)underwent emergency angioplasty.The incidence of sICH within 24 h after the operation was 10.9％(40/366),the good prognosis rate at 90 d after the operation was 53.6％(196/366),and the all-cause mortality rate at 90 d after the operation was 23.0％(84/366).The incidence of device-related intraoperative complications was 3.6％(13/366).The median time from arterial puncture to recanalization was 75(52,110)min,and the median time from onset to recanalization was 370(280,488)min.(2)The good prognosis rates at 90 d after the operation in the anterior and posterior circulation occlusion groups were 55.1％(163/296)and 47.1％(33/70),respectively.The immediate successful recanalization rates were 93.2％(276/296)and 87.1％(61/70),respectively.The immediate complete recanalization rates were 79.1％(234/296)and 68.6％(48/70),respectively.The incidence of sICH within 24h after the operation was 12.2％(36/296)and 5.7％(4/70),respectively.The incidence of device-related intraoperative complications was 3.7％(11/296)and 2.9％(2/70),respectively.The all-cause mortality rate within 90 d after the operation was 21.6％(64/296)and 28.6％(20/70),respectively.There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the above aspects(all P＞0.05).Conclusions The application of the domestic RECO thrombectomy stent in the treatment of AIS caused by intracranial vessel occlusion can effectively and safely achieve vascular recanalization.The results of this study still need to be further verified by prospective controlled studies.

Objectives:To investigate the predictive value of Murray's law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)in side branches for long-term clinical prognosis in patients with non-left main bifurcation lesions who underwent simple main branch stenting,and to provide a potential functional assessment standard for intervention decision-making on coronary bifurcation lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 408 patients with non-left main bifurcation lesions who underwent simple main branch stenting at Lianyungang First People's Hospital and Nanjing First Hospital between July 2018 and January 2021.The study utilized third-generation QFR software to analyze pre-and post-procedure anatomical and functional parameters of the target lesion's main branch and key branches.The primary endpoint was target vessel failure(TVF)events during the 3-year follow-up.Patients were stratified into TVF and non-TVF groups.Baseline characteristics,procedural data,and pre-/post-procedural parameters of target vessels were compared between groups.Multivariable Cox regression was performed to identify predictors of TVF.Diagnostic efficacy of predictors was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)with DeLong's method for comparison.Patients were dichotomized based on the optimal cutoffof post-procedural side branch μQFR,with TVF incidence rates compared via Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results:During 3-year follow-up,54 patients(13.2%)experienced TVF(TVF group),data were compared with 354 patients(86.76%)without TVF(non-TVF group).The TVF group showed higher post-procedural side branch diameter stenosis([32.93±17.80]%vs.[22.62±11.96]%,P<0.001)and lower μQFR(0.80±0.10 vs.0.89±0.07,P<0.001).Multivariate Cox regression identified higher post-procedural side branch μQFR as an independent protective factor against 3-year TVF(per 0.01 increase:HR=0.903,95%CI:0.850-0.959,P<0.001).ROC curves indicated that post-procedural side branch μQFR had moderate diagnostic efficacy for predicting 3-year TVF(AUC=0.769,95%CI:0.678-0.861,P<0.001),with a significantly higher AUC value than post-operative side branch area stenosis and minimal lumen diameter(both P<0.001),the optimal cutoffvalue was 0.84.Multivariate Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed markedly higher 3-year TVF rates in patients with μQFR≤0.84 compared to patients with μQFR>0.84(HR=4.007,95%CI:2.342-6.855,P<0.001;28.3%vs.7.9%,log-rank P<0.001).Conclusions:For patients with bifurcation lesions not involving the left main,the immediate post-procedural side branch μQFR could better predict 3-year TVF than anatomical indices.Maintaining post-stenting side branch μQFR>0.84 may optimize clinical outcomes when using a single-stent strategy.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for unresectable pancreatic cancer.Methods Totally 84 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for unresectable pancreatic cancer were enrolled,and the technical success rate,complete ablation rate,complication rate,pain relief rate and survival time,etc.were observed.Results The median age of 84 cases was 61.5 years.Totally 86 tumors,including 44.19％(38/86)at the head/neck and 55.81％(48/86)at the body/tail of pancreas were detected,and a total of 85 ablation sessions were performed with the median ablation energy applied per tumor of 9.90(1.08,21.60)kJ and the complete ablation rate of 42.86％(36/84).The technical success rate was 100％(85/85).Thirty-nine complication events occurred in 25 cases,no ablation-related death.Among 34 patients underwent ablation mainly for pain symptoms,the pain score decreased from(6.22±1.12)points before treatment to(1.94±1.64)points after treatment(P＜0.001).During 6.8(3.3,12.9)months' follow-up,the mean survival time was(8.5±6.7)months,and all 47 patients died due to tumor progression.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation was safe and feasible for unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Aim To investigate the predictive value of the Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)after target vessel pretreatment for vascular-related adverse events in patients with de novo coronary lesions treated with drug-coated balloon.Methods This retrospective study included 223 lesions from 223 patients who underwent drug-coated balloon-only strategy and completed 2-year clinical follow-up.Coronary angiographic images of target vessels pre-procedure,post-balloon and post-procedure were collected,and analyzed using a novel Murray's law-based algorithm.The μQFR analysis of each target vessel included not only the μQFR value of the target vessel,but also the length of the target vessel,the degree of vessel diameter stenosis,the reference lumen diameter,the minimum lumen diameter and blood flow velocity.The primary endpoint was defined as the postoperative vessel-oriented composite endpoint(VOCE).Results During the2-year clinical follow-up period,a total of 25 patients(11.2%)experienced VOCE events.Com-pared with the control group,patients with VOCE events after pretreatment showed a decrease in μQFR(P<0.001).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that a lower target vessel μQFR after pretreatment(OR=0.931,95%CI:0.894～0.969,P<0.001)was an independent predictor of VOCE events.ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value for predicting 2-year VOCE events using preprocessed μQFR was 0.83(95%CI:0.727～0.840),with a sensitivity of 72.7%and a specificity of 84.0%(AUC=0.773,95%CI:0.676～0.870,P<0.001).Survival analysis showed that compared with patients with μQFR>0.83,patients with μQFR≤0.83 had a significantly higher incidence of VOCE events at 1 and 2 years,increasing to 3.909 times(16.9%vs.4.6%,HR=3.909,95%CI:1.539～9.930,P=0.004)and 2.867 times(19.7%vs.7.2%,HR=2.867,95%CI:1.301～6.316,P=0.009).After adjusting for potential con-founds,patients with pretreated μQFR≤0.83 had a 2.567 times in 2-year incidence of VOCE events(HR=2.567,95%CI:1.151～5.727,P=0.021)and a 3.712 times in 1-year incidence of VOCE events(HR=3.712,95%CI:1.478～9.810,P=0.006)compared to patients with good pretreatment.Conclusions For patients with in situ coronary artery disease,a lower μQFR after pretreatment increases the risk of postoperative adverse clinical events.μQFR≤0.83 may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of lesion pretreatment.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.
