Trousseau′s syndrome is a thromboembolic disorder associated with malignancies, with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage representing common central nervous system complications in patients with cancer. This report details the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma at our institution who concurrently developed cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage. We performed a comprehensive literature review in the Wanfang and PubMed databases, searching for relevant studies on Trousseau′s syndrome, cerebral embolism, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. A total of 42 patients (23 male and 19 female) with complete clinical data were included, including the present case.Our analysis showed that these patients had 10 different types of tumors, with lung cancer, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer being the most prevalent. D-dimer levels were elevated in 38 cases, and 38 patients exhibited cerebral infarction affecting three or more vascular territories. Anticoagulant therapy was administered to 40 patients, 22 experienced a recurrence of cerebral infarction within a short timeframe, and 28 died within one year. Cases of Trousseau′s syndrome associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage are rare and, to our knowledge, have not been previously reported in the literature. Patients experiencing strokes due to Trousseau′s syndrome tend to have poor prognoses. However, targeted antitumor therapy in conjunction with anticoagulation may effectively reduce the risk of stroke recurrence and enhance patient outcomes.

Aim To investigate the effect of interdialytic serum potassium levels on thrombosis of autologous ar-teriovenous fistula(AVF)in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD)on maintenance haemodialysis(MHD).Methods 159 CKD patients who underwent MHD in our hospital from October 2021 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into hyperkalemia group(n=53),normal serum potassium group(n=61)and hypokalemia group(n=45)according to the mean serum potassium level of patients with different dialysis intervals,and all patients were followed up for 1 year or followed up until AVF thrombosis.General datas were collected and the following indicators were detected at the time of patient enrolment,including biochemical indicators,inflammatory factors,ultrasound indicators of AVF and oxidative stress factors levels.Multifactorial Logistic regression equations were used to analyze the effects of clinical indicators on AVF thrombosis in MHD patients,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to assess the predictive efficacy of clinical indicators on AVF thrombosis;And interval likelihood ratio was used to stratify interdialyt-ic serum potassium levels,and further observe whether the relationship was stability between AVF thrombosis and interdia-lytic serum potassium levels in MHD patients.Results Compared with the normal serum potassium group,the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH),procalcitonin(PCT),triglyceride(TG),malondial-dehyde(MDA),myeloperoxidase(MPO),brachial artery resistance index(RI),brachial artery pulsatility index(PI)and radial artery PI were significantly elevated in hyperkalemia group and hypokalemia group,while the levels of albumin(Alb),total cholesterol(TC),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and fistula blood flow were significantly reduced(P＜0.05).Systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,fistula blood flow,Alb and SOD levels were significantly lower in patients with AVF thrombosis than those in patients with AVF unthrombosis(P＜0.05);Interdialytic mean serum potassium level,CRP,iPTH,PCT,brachial artery RI,brachial artery PI,radial artery PI,radial artery RI,MDA and MPO levels were significantly higher in patients with AVF thrombosis(P＜0.05).The ROC curve was used to analyse the model estab-lished by the multifactorial Logistic regression equation,and it was found that model 1 and model 2 had good predictive effi-cacy,and model 2 had the best predictive efficacy.The results of the interval likelihood ratio showed that:when the patient's interdialytic serum potassium level was 3.5～4.5 mmol/L,the possibility of the patient's AVF thrombosis was the lowest,and when the patient's interdialytic serum potassium level was＞5.5 mmol/L or＜3.5 mmol/L,the possibility of the patient's AVF thrombosis was higher,and when the patient's serum potassium level was＞5.5 mmol/L,the probability of AVF thrombosis was the highest in patients,which was 3.925 times higher than that of patients without AVF thrombosis.Conclusion Abnormal interdialytic serum potassium levels may induce AVF thrombosis in CKD patients.Serum potassium levels can be monitored during MHD treatment to enable timely intervention and improve clinical treatment outcomes for patients.

pAPN is a zinc-dependent metalloprotease,mediating the fusion between virus and host cell,and playing a role as the receptor of coronavirus.To explore the effect of pAPN on PEDV rep-lication,the full-length pAPN gene was amplified from the porcine small intestinal by PCR,and was cloned into the lentiviral vector via the homologous site digested with BamH Ⅰ and Not Ⅰ to obtain the recombinant lentiviral vector PLVX-pAPN-mCMV-ZsGreen1-puro.The recombinant lentiviral vector and helper plasmids pLP1,pLP2,pLP-VSVG were co-transfected into 293T cells for lentiviral packaging.Vero cells were infected with the packaged lentivirus and the pAPN gene overexpressing cells were screened by puromycin.The stable expression of Vero-pAPN monoclonal cell line was screened by a limited dilution method,and the effect of the cell line on the replication of PEDV was determined by qPCR for N mRNA transcription level,Western blot for N protein level,and TCID50.The results showed that the packaged lentivirus could infect Vero cells,and the monoclonal cell line Vero-pAPN(2C5)could stably expressed pAPN.The Vero-pAPN cell line can promote the replication of PEDV,the N gene mRNA transcription level was significantly different at 12-48 h(P＜0.05),the N protein expression level increased,and the TCID50 was significantly different at 24 and 48 h(P＜0.05).In conclusion,the Vero-pAPN cell line was constructed in this study and it can significantly promote the replication of PEDV,which provides a candidate cell line for PEDV vaccine production and isolation.

Objective To explore the microRNAs regulation of CXC chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) in patients with myasthenia gravis combined with thymic hyperplasia (MGH).Methods Thirteen MGH tissues and 13 normal thymus tissues,collected in our hospital from March 2012 to August 2013,were used in our study.Total RNAs from these tissues were extracted by trizol and hybridized with the microarray.The miRNAs targeting CXCL13 gene-3'untranslated region were predicted by using bioinformatics.Real-time fluorogenic quantitative PCR (QRT-PCR) was employed to detect the expressions ofCXCL13 mRNAs and microRNAs in thymus tissues.Luciferase assay was used to analyze the miRNAs modulated CXCL13 expression.Results The miRNA microarray chip analysis identified 33 miRNAs differentially expressed in MGH tissues as compared with those in the control group,miR-548k was one of most obvious down-regulated miRNAs (1.98 fold).Bioinformatical analysis indicated that miR-548k can target CXCL13 3' UTR.QRT-PCR showed that the expression of CXCL13 mRNA was up-regulated and miR-548k was down-regulated in thymus hyperplasia tissues of MGH group as compared with those in the control group(4.93±l.95 vs.1.04±0.20; 0.55±0.20 vs.1.33±0.36,P＜0.05); and they showed a negative correlation (r=-0.93,P=0).003).As compared with that in the control group (1.000±0.050),the luciferase activity of pmiR-RB-REPORTTM-CXCL13-3'UTR treated with miR-548k mimics (0.385±0.016) decreased 61.5％,with significant difference (P＜0.05).Conclusion MiR-548k inhibits CXCL13 expression by post-transcriptional gene silencing to promote MG development and progression.

AIM: To investigate the anti - tumor effect of Weimaining (WMN) on a murine Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) and the influence on the cell cycle. METHODS: The inhibitory rate of WMN in 3LL growth was detected by replicating the model of 3LL. The effect of the drug on 3LL cell cycle and the influence of the drug on the expression of cy clin D1 protein were investigated by flow cytometry and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: The results showed that the inhibitory rate of drug in 3LL is 19. 14%, 33.59%, 40. 63% and 51.56% respectively at dosage ranging from 100,cells in G0 -G1 phase and decreases the expression of cyclin D1 protein. CONCLUSION: WMN inhibits the growth of 3LL cells in vivo by decreasing the expression of cyclin D1, blocking the cells in G0 - G1 phase and preventing the cells transition from G1 to S phase while DNA is replicated.
