Background: and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking. Methods: This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance. Results: Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal. Conclusions The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the genotype,mutation type,and ethnic distribution characteristics of thalassemia in the population of Hechi area,Guangxi,and to provide a reference basis for prevention and control of thalassemia and eugenic counseling in the region.Methods:Gap-polymerase chain reaction(gap-PCR)and reverse dot blot(RDB)were used for genetic testing on suspected thalassemia persons,and the results were analyzed.Results:Among 29 136 samples,a total of 17 016(58.40％)positive samples for thalassemia genes were detected,with a higher detection rate in males than in females(X2=49.917,P＜0.001).The detection rates of thalassemia genes were significant different among Zhuang,Han,Yao,Mulao,and Maonan ethnic groups(x2=546.121,P＜0.001).The α-thalassemia genotypes were mainly--SEA/αα(16.67％),-α3.7/αα(8.90％),αCSα/αα(6.00％).Additionally,four rare genotypes were detected,including--THAI/αα(47 cases),HKαα/αα(2 cases),--SEA/-α21.9(2 cases),and--THAI/αcsα(1 case).The β-thalassemia genotypes were mainly βCD17/βN(7.49％),βCD41-42/βN(6.70％),βCD71-72/βN(0.44％).108 cases of moderate and severeβ-thalassemia were detected,of which 81 cases had a history of blood transfusion,the transfusion frequency of 60 cases was more than 10 times/year,and 10 cases received bone marrow transplantation.Conclusion:Thalassemia in Hechi area is predominantly deletion type--SEA/αα,the detection rate of thalassemia in ethnic minorities is higher than that in Han population.In this area,moderate and severe β-thalassemia have certain incidence,these patients mostly need regular blood transfusion and iron removal treatment,and very few patients have received bone marrow transplantation.This study provides a certain reference basis for prevention and control of thalassemia and eugenic counseling in the region.

AIM:To predict the mechanism of Sanguis draconis flavones(SDF)in the prevention and treat-ment of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury(MIRI)based on network pharmacology and molecular docking methods.METHODS:The main chemical constituents of SDF were collected through literature search,and the targets of key con-stituents were screened by using the SwissTargetPrediction and TargetNet databases.Disease targets were also screened based on GeneCards,OMIM,TTD and PharmGkb databases,then targets were intersected with Cytoscape to construct the"drug-key constituent-target"network diagram,and the core target was obtained through visualization and analysis by Cytoscape software.Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses were analyzed by the Metascape platform.By utilizing AutoDock Vina software and Pymol,molecular docking between core compounds and core targets was carried out.Further,animal experiments were performed to explore the pharmacodynamic mechanism of SDF.RESULTS:The active constituents of SDF included loureirin B and loureirin A,which were mapped to 391 targets.A total of 3 096 MIRI disease targets were obtained from the database,af-ter intersection,172 intersection targets were obtained,and 56 core targets were acquired through analysis.The core relat-ed pathways included the cancer pathway and cell death signaling pathway.The results of molecular docking verified the strong binding activity between key constituents and key targets.Animal experiments demonstrated that SDF effectively prevented and treated MIRI,significantly inhibited the arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase(ALOX15)mRNA and protein expression,and reduced the myocardial infarction size after MIRI.CONCLUSION:SDF may play a positive role in the treatment of MIRI,which may be related to the regulation of the ALOX15 factor.

This paper summarized Professor LI Haisong's clinical experience in treating spermatorrhea based on the view of "spirit controlling essence and qi". It is emphasized that the heart spirit has the function of controlling the essence and qi of the human body， believing the frenetic stirring of heart spirit and the insecurity of essence gate are the core pathogenesis of spermatorrhea， LI advocates to regulate the heart spirit first and take into account of the zang-fu organs， essence and qi simultaneously for the treatment. Treatment should be performed according the clinical syndromes differentiatied. For those with heart spirit failing to nourish syndrome， it is recommended to supplement heart qi， nourish spirit and consolidate essence with self-made Yangxin Mijing Formula （养心秘精方）. In case of heart fire hyperactivity， the method of clearing heart heat and draining fire， calming spirit and consolidating essence should be used， and self-made Xiexin Gujing Formula （泻心固精方） is recommended. For heart-liver qi constraint， it is advised to soothe the liver and calm heart， calm the mind and regulate essence with self-made Jieyu Anshen Tiaojing Formula （解郁安神调精方） which is a modifcation to Chaihu Shugan Powder （柴胡疏肝散）. In terms of deficiency of both heart and liver， the treatment principle is supplementing spleen and nourishing heart， calming the mind and controlling essence， for which self-made Xinpi Tongtiao Shejing Formula （心脾同调摄精方） modified from Guipi Decoction （归脾汤） can be used. For deficiency of both heart and kidney， it is better to nourish the kidney and calm heart， calm the mind and consolidate essence with self-made Xinshen Liangzi Tianjing Formula （心肾两滋填精方） that modified from Shuilu Erxian Elixir （水陆二仙丹） and Wuzi Yanzong Pill （五子衍宗丸）. Prescriptions are used to treat the root by harmonizing the zang-fu organs， nourish the spirit by regulating qi and blood， and calm the mind by taking special medi-cinals， and they should be flexibly modified according to the disease.
