Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of direct thrombectomy versus bridging thrombectomy in the treatment of acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke under different collateral circulation statuses.Methods Totally 93 patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2020 to March 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Patients were divided into direct throm-bectomy group(n=47)and bridging thrombectomy group(n=46)based on the type of thrombectomy.Patients in the direct thrombectomy group received direct intravascular thrombectomy,while patients in the bridging thrombectomy group received intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase combined with mechanical thrombectomy.According computed tomography angiography,the collateral circulation Tan classification was applied to divide the patients into good collateral circulation sub-group and poor collateral circulation sub-group.The modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grading(mTICI)was used to evaluate vessel recanalization.Head computed tomography plain scan was performed at 24-48 hours postoperatively to assess if there was hemorrhagic transformation,and modified Rankin Scale score was performed at 90 days postoperatively.Information such as imaging examination time,femoral artery puncture time,vessel recanalization time after thrombectomy,prognosis and spontaneous non-traumatic symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage(SICH)were collected.Results The age,gender,baseline Alberta stroke program early computed tomography score,baseline national institutes of health stroke scale score,proportions of hypertension,diabetes and atrial fibrillation,baseline systolic pressure,creatinine,baseline blood glucose,platelet count,occlusion site,stroke etiologies and collateral circulation status of patients in the two groups were not statistically significantly different(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the post-admission imaging examination time,femoral artery puncture time,vessel recanalization time after thrombectomy,successful vascular reperfusion rate,good prognosis rate,mortality rate,and SICH incidence between the two groups(P＞0.05).The hemorrhagic transformation rate of patients in the direct thrombectomy group was significantly lower than that in the bridging thrombectomy group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the post-admission imaging examination time,femoral artery puncture time,vessel recanalization time after thrombectomy,successful vascular reperfusion rate,good prognosis rate,mortality rate,and SICH incidence between patients with good collateral circulation and patients with poor collateral circulation in the two groups(P＞0.05).The hemorrhagic transformation rate of patients with good and poor collateral circulation in the direct thrombectomy group was significantly lower than that in the bridging thrombectomy group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Under different collateral circulation conditions,the safety and efficacy of direct thrombectomy and bridging thrombectomy in the treatment of acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke are similar,but bridging thrombectomy is more likely to result in cerebral hemorrhage transformation compared with direct thrombectomy.

Objective:To observe the feelings of listening to music and the importance of music in the daily life of post-lingual deaf adults with cochlear implants, and to explore the relevant influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. From January 2021 to August 2021,the Music-Related Quality of Life Scale was used to evaluate the music needs and music experiences of 63 post-lingual deaf adults who met the inclusion criteria, including 27 males and 36 females, aged (40.7±12.3) years, at the time of surgery (36.8±13.1) years, and with a preoperative hearing aid ineffective time of (3.9±5.8) years. Indicators analyzed included age, duration of ineffective preoperative hearing aid wear, preoperative music preference, duration of postoperative cochlear implant use, current hearing aid modality, and auditory rehabilitation outcomes. Whether the six factors mentioned above constituted an influence on the subjects′ music listening was investigated using SPSS 25.0 statistical software.Results:All of the observations in the scale were correlated with a single factor. The two sub-dimensions of music experience section were related to the effect of auditory rehabilitation. In the importance section, the effect of auditory rehabilitation was the influential factor of the dimension of "participation importance", and the preoperative enjoyment of music was the relevant influential factor of the dimension of "perceived importance". There was a significant difference between the groups when they were grouped by the above factors ( P value<0.05), while there was no statistically significance between the groups when they were grouped by other factors ( P value>0.05). Conclusions:Post-lingual deaf adults show the need and attempt to listen to music after cochlear implantation. The effectiveness of auditory rehabilitation and the degree of music preference preoperatively are two important factors that influence music listening in implant recipients. Once the level of auditory communication has been restored to a certain degree, it is important to pay more attention to the needs of music for implant recipients and train them in time, especially for those with music preferences preoperatively.

Objective To explore the relationship between collateral circulation and the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke(AIS)patients with successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy.Methods A total of 75 AIS patients who received mechanical thrombectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the research subjects.The clinical data of the patients were collected.According to the modified Rankin scale(mRS)score at 90 days after operation,the patients were divided into the good prognosis group(mRS score≤2)and the poor prognosis group(mRS score ≥3).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of AIS patients with successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy.There were three types of collateral circulation:symmetrical collateral circulation,malignant collateral circulation,and other collateral circulation.The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score at admission,the NIHSS score at discharge and changes of the NIHSS score of patients with different collateral circulations were compared.Results Among the 75 patients,43 had a good prognosis,and 32 had a poor prognosis.The incidence of poor prognosis was 42.67％.Univariate analysis showed that history of diabetes,time from onset to puncture(OPT),collateral circulation and NIHSS score were the factors effecting the prognosis of AIS patients with successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy(P＜0.05).Age,sex,history of atrial fibrillation,history of hypertension,history of smoking,history of stroke,thrombolytic therapy and modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade were not related to the prognosis of AIS patients with successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy(P＞0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that symmetrical collateral circulation,malignant collateral circulation,history of diabetes and OPT were independent influencing factors for the prognosis of AIS patients with successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the admission NIHSS score among the patients with different collateral circulations(P＞0.05).The discharge NIHSS score of patients with symmetrical collateral circulation was significantly lower than that of patients with malignant collateral circulation,and the change in the NIHSS score was more significant than that of patients with malignant collateral circulation(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the discharge NIHSS score and change in the NIHSS score between patients with symmetrical collateral circulation and patients with other collateral circulation(P＞0.05),and between patients with malignant collateral circulation and patients with other collateral circulation(P＞0.05).Conclusion Symmetrical collateral circulation,malignant collateral circulation are independent factor affecting the prognosis of AIS patients with successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy.Symmetrical collateral circulation may help improve the neurological function of patients after mechanical thrombectomy,and malignant collateral circulation may lead to deterioration of neurological function in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.

Vaccination is a main measure for protecting chickens against Marek's disease,while it is not able to suppress the infection,proliferation,transmission,and virulence enhancement on Marek's disease virus.Inhibiting the proliferation of Marek's disease virus in chicken is therefore an im-portant option for enhancing defense effectiveness.In this study,a compound,DUBs-IN-1,was found to inhibit the activity of MDV049,a protease encoded by Marek's disease virus,via screening a protease inhibitor library using MDV049 as target and ubiquitin probe.Molecular docking re-vealed that DUBs-IN-1 can interact with the residues which formed the catalytic pocket of MDV049,blocking the interaction between Ub substrate and the catalytic center of MDV049,then suppress the activity of MDV049 with competitive inhibition.Using the CPE model,it was found that DUBs-IN-1 at the concentration of 0.35 and 0.70 μmol/L significantly inhibited the CPE in-duced by Marek's disease virus in CEF cells.Quantitative analysis revealed that DUBs-IN-1 inhibi-ted the proliferation of Marek's disease virus in CEF cells(P＜0.01).Furthermore,it was found that the administration of 80 and 150 pg/(kg·d)of DUBs-IN-1 in chicken infected by Marek's disease virus significantly inhibited the proliferation of MDV in T cells(P＜0.01).In summary,this study demonstrated that the compound DUBs-IN-1 is able to inhibit the proliferation of Marek's disease virus in chicken cells,laying a theoretical and practical foundation for further de-velopment of the drugs against Marek's disease virus.

To explore the pharmacogenomic markers that affect the platinum-based chemotherapy response in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), we performed a two-cohort of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including 34 for WES-based and 433 for microarray-based analyses, as well as two independent validation cohorts. After integrating the results of two studies, the genetic variations related to the platinum-based chemotherapy response were further determined by fine-mapping in 838 samples, and their potential functional impact were investigated by eQTL analysis and in vitro cell experiments. We found that a total of 68 variations were significant at P < 1 × 10^-3 in cohort 1 discovery stage, of which 3 SNPs were verified in 262 independent samples. A total of 541 SNPs were significant at P < 1 × 10^-4 in cohort 2 discovery stage, of which 8 SNPs were verified in 347 independent samples. Comparing the validated SNPs in two GWAS, ADCY1 gene was verified in both independent studies. The results of fine-mapping showed that the G allele carriers of ADCY1 rs2280496 and C allele carriers of rs189178649 were more likely to be resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy. In conclusion, our study found that rs2280496 and rs189178649 in ADCY1 gene were associated the sensitivity of platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.

Objective:To investigate the changes in total radioactivity in patient body with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) after 131I treatment and the factors influencing its metabolism. Methods:The clinical data from 218 patients after DTC treatment in the Department of Nuclear Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from September 2021 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on administrated 131I dose, 171 patients were divided into low-dose group (≤ 3.7 GBq) and 47 into high-dose group (>3.7 GBq) . A whole body dynamic radiation monitoring system was used to measure the in vivo residual activity of 131I 24, 48 and 72 h after 131I administration and to explore their influencing factors. Results:24, 48 and 72 h after adimination of 131I, the residual activity of 131I in the low-dose group patients was significantly lower than in the high-dose group patients ( t= -7.46, -3.31, -2.01, P<0.05) . The discharge compliance rate at 24 and 48 h in the low-dose group was significantly higher than that in the high-dose group (21.0% vs. 4.3%, 98.2% vs. 89.4%, χ2 = 7.23, 5.91, P<0.05) , and all patients could meet the discharge criteria at 72 h. Univariate analysis showed that the residual 131I activity at 24 and 48 h was dependent on age, body mass index (BMI) , basal metabolism rate (BMR) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) . As have been shown by multiple linear regression analysis, in the low-dose group, the older age, the higher BMR and the higher TSH level at 24 h tended to the higher 131I residual activity in the body. At 48 h, the higher BMI and the higher TSH level lead to the higher 131I residual activity in patient body. Meanwhile, in the high-dose group, the higher age and BMR at 24 h, tended to the higher in vivo131I residual activity. The influencing factors were analyzed in terms that 131I residual activity reaching 400 MBq in patient body at 24 and 36 h. The result showed that at 24 h the lower TSH level leaded to the lower 131I residual activity in patient body. At 36 h, the younger age, the lower TSH level, and the smaller 131I treatment dose tended to the lower in vivo131I residual activity. Conclusions:Age, BMI, BMR and TSH levels are the influencing factors for the change in total activity in patient body after 131I treatment of DTC. Radiation dose assessment based on the above indicators can provide a reference for adjusting the length of hospitalization time.

Objective To investigate the correlation between tumor perfusion parameters and tumor volume and Child-Pugh classification in CT of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Fifty-six patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were selected to perform CT perfusion imaging.The parameters of the total tumor perfusion such as hepatic artery perfusion (HAP),portal vein perfusion (PVP)and hepatic perfusion index (HAPI)were calculated according to the degree of hepatic encephalopathy,albumin,bilirubin, clotting time,ascites for liver Child-Pugh classification.The relationship between the tumor or peritumoral perfusion parameters with tumor volume and Child-Pugh classification were analyzed.Results (1)There was no correlation between tumor or peritumoral perfusion with the tumor volume.(2)The difference of HAP,PVP and HAPI between the different Child-Pugh classification groups was statistically significant (P<0.000 1).(3)With the reduction of Child-Pugh classification,the tumor body HAP and HAPI values gradually decreased, while the PVP value increased gradually.Conclusion There is no correlation between the tumor volume of hepatocellular carcinoma with total tumor perfusion parameters.The differences in perfusion measurements between different Child-Pugh classification can intuitively and quantitatively reflect the reserve function of the liver.

BACKGROUND: Gene therapy and cell transplantation therapy, especially their combined use, have certain therapeutic effects on retinitis pigmentosa. However, little attention has been paid to the combination of gene therapy and cell transplantation in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) modified by growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) gene on the retina of rats with retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS: ADMSCs from rats with retinitis pigmentosa were isolated and cultured, and then transfected with GAP-43 lentiviral vector. Sixty retinitis pigmentosa rats were randomized into experimental group (subretinal injection of GAP-43-transfected ADMSCs), control group (subretinal injection of ADMSCs) and sham operation group (PBS injection). The expressions of GAP-43 protein, Rho protein and GS protein in the retina of rats were determined by western blot. The outer nuclear layer thickness of the retina was determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After transfected cell transplantation, the expression of GAP-43 protein in the retina was gradually increased with time and showed significant differences at different time post-transplantation (P < 0.05).The expression levels of Rho protein and GS protein in the retina of experimental and control groups were higher than that in the sham operation group (P < 0.05). The expression of Rho protein in the retina of the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The expression of GS protein in the retina of the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The thickness of retinal outer nuclear layer was ranked as follows: the experimental group > the control group > the sham group, and there was significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). These results show that the ADMSCs modified by GAP-43 gene have protective effect on the retina of rats with retinitis pigmentosa.

Aim To investigate the effect of DHA on NGF-induced neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells and explore the possible mechanism via regulating BMP pathway. Methods PC12 cells were treated with 100μg·L-1 NGF and 100 μg·L-1 NGF + 10 μmol· L-1 DHA for 3, 6 and 9 days respectively. The length and number of neurite were detected by immunofluores-cenc. DHA content was analyzed by gas chromatogra-phy in all groups. The protein expression of BMP4, BMP7 , BMPR-II and p-Smad 1/5/8 was determined by Western blot. Results The length of total primary neurite in NGF+DHA groups was obviously increased, longer than that in NGF group; DHA content in 10μmol · L-1 DHA group was higher than that in the control group;NGF+DHA groups also unregulated the protein expression of BMP4 , BMP7 , BMPR-II and p-Smad 1/5/8 . Conclusion DHA promotes NGF-in-duced neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells, which may be associated with the upregulation of BMP path-way protein.
