Background: and Purpose Vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (VBFAs) carry substantial morbidity and mortality, but optimal management for unruptured VBFAs remains unclear. We compared the safety and efficacy of conservative management (CM), stent-assisted coiling (SAC), and flow diverters (FDs) in patients with unruptured VBFAs, focusing on long-term prognosis. Methods: This study included data from a nationwide Chinese cohort of patients with vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) balanced confounders across groups. The primary outcome was poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score >2). Secondary outcomes included aneurysm rupture, ischemic stroke, compression symptoms, and VBFA-related deaths. Logistic regression estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: Among 1,115 patients with unruptured VBFAs, 838 (median age, 54 years; 655 men) were included. After IPTW, baseline characteristics were balanced. Median follow-up was 54 months. FD was associated with a lower risk of poor prognosis than CM (OR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.30 to 0.77]; p=0.002), with no difference between CM and SAC. FD also reduced aneurysm rupture (OR, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.60]; p=0.004) and compression symptoms (OR, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.68]; p=0.004) versus CM. Time-to-event analyses further revealed significant differences in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, whereas no significant differences were observed in basilar or vertebrobasilar junction lesions or in Type III–IV VBFAs. Conclusions Compared with CM, FD was associated with improved long-term outcomes in unruptured VBFAs, particularly in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, although residual confounding cannot be excluded.

N-acetyl-p-aminophenol （APAP） is an antipyretic analgesic commonly used in clinical practice， and APAP overdose can cause severe liver injury and even death. In recent years， the incidence rate of APAP-induced liver injury （AILI） tends to increase， and it has become the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that removes unwanted cytosolic proteins and organelles through lysosomal degradation to achieve the metabolic needs of cells themselves and the renewal of organelles. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AILI， involving the mechanisms such as APAP protein conjugates， oxidative stress， JNK activation， mitochondrial dysfunction， inflammatory response and apoptosis. This article elaborates on the biological mechanism of autophagy in AILI， in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AILI and the development of autophagy regulators.

Liver diseases have a high prevalence rate worldwide with relatively poor long-term clinical outcomes and have become one of the leading causes of disease burden and death around the world,which poses significant challenges to public health.Eosinophils(Eos)are a class of highly conserved multifunctional immune cells that play critical effector roles in allergic diseases.In recent years,an increasing amount of evidence has shown that Eos plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases,exerting a protective or harmful effect in different liver diseases,which has become a research hotspot in this field.This article elaborates on the role and potential mechanism of action of Eos in liver diseases,in order to provide a new perspective for in-depth research on the pathogenesis of liver diseases and lay the foundation for developing therapeutic strategies targeting Eos.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of anti-neurofascin-155 (NF155) antibody positive autoimmune nodopathy in children.Methods:This was a case series study. A total of 6 children who were diagnosed accurately as anti-NF155 antibody positive autoimmune nodopathy by cell immunofluorescence assay at the Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2020 to December 2023 were collected. This study retrospectively analyzed 6 pediatric children′s clinical manifestations, laboratory and electrophysiological examination results, and treatment outcomes.Results:Among 6 children with anti-NF155 antibody positive autoimmune nodopathy, there were 4 boys and 2 girls. The onset age of 6 children ranged from 3 years and 8 months to 12 years. All 6 children had extremity weakness (more severe in the distal and the lower extremities than in the upper extremities), 5 children had sensory deficits such as numbness or pain in the extremities, 4 children had tremors and ataxia, 3 children had cranial nerve involvement. Among the 6 children, 4 children had protein-cell separation in cerebrospinal fluid examinations. Among the 6 children, 1 child had central nervous system demyelination, the brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple abnormal signals in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres. Four children showed motor and sensory nerve damage in electrophysiological examination, and 2 children only showed motor nerve damage. Three children showed myelin and axonal damage, and 3 children only showed axonal damage. Among the 6 children, 5 children were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and steroids. Among them, 2 children underwent plasma exchange due to poor efficacy, and subsequently, rituximab was added. There was 1 child changed the treatment with olfatomumab since the symptoms did not significantly improve after using rituximab. After treatment for 4-15 months, 2 children had no clinical symptoms, 1 child had improvement in clinical symptoms, 2 children had no significant improvement in clinical symptoms, and 1 child who did not receive the immunotherapy had no significant change in clinical symptoms.Conclusions:Anti-NF155 antibody positive autoimmune nodopathy in children presents with varying degrees of clinical manifestations. It is mainly characterized by extremity weakness, numbness and pain, often accompanied bytremorsand ataxia. Some pediatric patients may also have central nervous system demyelination. Cerebrospinal fluid and electrophysiological examination are important auxiliary examination methods. If steroid therapy is not effective, plasma exchange and rituximab treatment should be used as soon as possible.

Autoimmune hepatitis(AIH)is a type of chronic hepatitis caused by the attack of hepatocytes by the autoimmune system,and with the prolongation of disease course,it may gradually progress to liver cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma.Although great achievements have been made in the understanding and treatment of AIH,its etiology and pathogenesis still remain unclear.T cells play a crucial role in the development and progression of AIH,and by focusing on follicular helper T cells,this article elaborates on the research advances in follicular helper T cells in AIH,in order to provide new ideas and strategies for the clinical treatment of AIH.

Autoimmune hepatitis(AIH)is chronic hepatitis caused by the attack of live cells by the immune system,and at present,the pathogenesis of AIH remains unclear.Inflammasomes are important components of innate immunity and are involved in a variety of pathophysiological processes.Studies have shown that inflammatory response associated with nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AIH,which mainly mediates the release of proinflammatory factors and pyroptosis,thereby participating in the pathophysiological process of AIH.Therefore,the development and progression of AIH can be delayed by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes,which provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of AIH.
