Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)ver-sus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting(PTAS)in the treatment of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis(sICSA)with different clinical features.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 93 surgical cases in The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from September 2018 to May 2022,and according to the vascu-lar morphology,age,and surgical procedure of the patients,they were divided into PTA group with 56 patients and PTAS group with 37 patients.The two groups were compared in terms of general information,surgical success rate,the inci-dence rate of serious complications within 30 days after surgery,modified Rankin Scale(mRS)score at 3 and 6 months af-ter surgery,and the rate of recurrent stroke of responsible vessels at 1 year after surgery.Results In patients with MORI type C of diseased vessels,there were more patients in the PTA group than in the PTAS group.There were no significant dif-ferences in the remaining baseline characteristics between the two groups.There were no significant differences between the PTA group and the PTAS group in terms of the success rate of surgery(98.2%vs 100%),the incidence of serious com-plications within 30 days after surgery(3.6%vs 2.7%),the good prognosis rate at 3 months after surgery(92.7%vs 94.1%),the good prognosis rate at 6 months after surgery(94.5%vs 94.1%),and the rate of re-stroke within 1 year after surgery(3.6%vs 2.9%).Conclusion In the MORI classification C of diseased vessels,the safety of PTA was significantly higher than that of PTAS.There were no significant differences in the success rate of surgery,the incidence of serious periopera-tive complications,the postoperative effect and the rate of symptomatic restenosis at 1 year after surgery between the two groups.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of occasional hypertension in preschool children in three provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, and analyze the relationship between their sleep status and occasional hypertension.Methods:From October to November 2017, a total of 24 842 preschool children from 109 kindergartens in 11 cities in Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces were selected by intentional sampling method. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect basic information about the subjects, and the sleep status data was collected by the Children′s Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Physical examinations were performed on the subjects, and height, weight and blood pressure were measured on-site. The difference in occasional hypertension detection rate among preschool children with different characteristics was compared, and the correlation between sleep status and occasional hypertension detection rate was analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression model.Results:The age of the subjects was (4.4±1.0) years, including 12 729 boys (51.2%). The prevalence of occasional hypertension was 31.8% (7 907/24 842). The prevalence of occasional hypertension among preschool children in three provinces of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was 31.8%. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rate of occasional hypertension among preschool children of different genders, age groups, family residence, family economic status and parents′ education level (all P values<0.05). The detection rate of occasional hypertension in children with less than 10 hours of sleep was higher than those with sufficient sleep, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, family residence, family economic status, parental education level, parental smoking history, and physical constitution, the ORs (95% CI) for less than 10 hours of sleep, turning on the lights while sleeping, and poor sleep quality were 1.09 (1.03-1.15), 1.17 (1.07-1.28) and 1.04 (0.91-1.18), respectively, compared with the corresponding reference group. Conclusion:The detection rate of occasional hypertension is high in preschool children in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and there is a positive correlation between insufficient sleep and turning on the light when sleeping and occasional hypertension in preschool children.

BACKGROUND: Syringomyelia is a progressive chronic disease that leads to nerve pain, sensory dissociation, and dyskinesia. Symptoms often do not improve after surgery. Stem cells have been widely explored for the treatment of nervous system diseases due to their immunoregulatory and neural replacement abilities. METHODS: In this study, we used a rat model of syringomyelia characterized by focal dilatation of the central canal to explore an effective transplantation scheme and evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells and induced neural stem cells for the treatment of syringomyelia. RESULTS: The results showed that cell transplantation could not only promote syrinx shrinkage but also stimulate the proliferation of ependymal cells, and the effect of this result was related to the transplantation location. These reactions appeared only when the cells were transplanted into the cavity. Additionally, we discovered that cell transplantation transformed activated microglia into the M2 phenotype. IGF1-expressing M2 microglia may play a significant role in the repair of nerve pain. CONCLUSION Cell transplantation can promote cavity shrinkage and regulate the local inflammatory environment.Moreover, the proliferation of ependymal cells may indicate the activation of endogenous stem cells, which is important for the regeneration and repair of spinal cord injury.

Objective:To explore the detection of potentially pathogenic bacteria (PPB) in the nasopharynx of children with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis and the influence of PPB types on disease severity.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of patients hospitalized for RSV bronchiolitis at Department of Respiratory Medicine, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and bacteria in nasopharyngeal secretion of children were detected.They were classified into <3 months group, 3-<6 months group, 6 months-<1 year group and 1-2 years group based on the age.In addition, they were further classified into RSV infection group, RSV+ G + group, RSV+ G - group and RSV+ G + + G - group based on detected PPB in the nasopharynx.Comparison of RSV + PPB frequency between groups was performed by Chi- squared test, clinical characteristics were compared by using Mann- Whitney U test. Results:A total of 280 patients with RSV bronchiolitis were included in the study, involving 113 cases (40.4%) with PPB in the nasopharynx.The most-common detection bacterium was Streptococcus pneumoniae.The detection rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae increased with age ( χ2=12.609, P=0.005), while that of Staphylococcus aureus decreased with age ( χ2=8.387, P=0.034). Compared with RSV group, patients in RSV+ G - group had a longer length of stay, higher rate of fever and shortness of breath, higher oxygen supplement and higher C-reactive protein (CRP) (all P<0.05). Compared with RSV group, patients in RSV+ G + group were older, and they had higher rate of fever, higher percentage of neutrophil, lower percentage of lymphocyte and higher CRP (all P<0.05). Conclusions:PPB in nasopharynx can be detected in about 40% of children hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis, and nasopharynx complicated with PPB infection may affect the severity of RSV bronchiolitis.
