Objective To investigate the potential beneficial predictors for endovascular treatment(EVT)in case of acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion with large-core infarction.Methods We made a retrospective inclusion of 92 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and core infarct volume ranging from 50 to 100 mL,who underwent EVT at Zhangzhou Municipal Hospital of Fujian Province from March 2018 to February 2021.All the patients were confirmed as anterior circulation large infarction and large infarct volume using computed tomography(CT),computed tomography angiography(CTA),and computed tomography perfusion(CTP)before EVT.All clinical and imaging data were collected to observe the postoperative recurrence rate,incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage(sICH),and functional prognosis 90 days.Then the patients were divided into favorable outcomes group(mRS≤3)and unfavorable outcomes group(mRS＞3)based on Rankin scores 90 days post-stroke.Univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis were conducted to analyze factors influencing the patients'prognosis.By combining the results of multivariate analysis,we constructed receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and identified the cut-off value to evaluate the predictive value of age for post-vascular treatment prognosis.Results Among the included patients,the postoperative revascularization rate(mTIICI≥2b)was 95％(88 cases),the rate of favorable outcomes at 90 days postoperatively(mRS≤3)was 32.61％(30 cases),the incidence of sICH was 13％,and the mortality rate was 31.5％.Compared with the unfavorable outcomes group,the favorable outcomes group had a younger age and a higher proportion of males.Multivariate analysis indicated that older age was an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes following endovascular treatment(OR=4.97,95％CI:1.78-13.90,P=0.002).The ROC curve indicated that the area under the curve was maximized at the age of 72.5 years(AUC=0.763,95％CI:0.661-0.864,P＜0.001).Its sensitivity and specificity was 0.565 and 0.833,respectively.Conclusion Age is an independent predictor of the prognosis of acute procirculatory large core stroke.Patients with large core infarction older than 72.5 years may not benefit from endovascular therapy,which needs to be confirmed by a multicenter large sample prospective randomized controlled trial.

Objective:To investigate the co-occurrence patterns of psychosocial and behavioral problems among children and to identify associated influencing factors.Methods:A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2023. A cluster random sample of 19 176 children aged 6-16 years was recruited from middle-income areas across 10 provincial capitals and municipalities in China. Psychological and behavioral problems, including anxiety, compulsive behavior, social withdrawal, depression, somatic complaints, social problems, schizoid, delinquent behaviors, hyperactivity, sexual issues, and aggression, were assessed using the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist parent version. Co-occurrence was defined as ≥2 concurrent problems. Children were divided into 4 groups by gender and age: boys aged 6-11 years, girls aged 6-11 years, boys aged 12-16 years, and girls aged 12-16 years. Those children who had psychosocial and behavioral problems were further categorized into the single-problem group, and the co-occurrence group based on assessment results. High-frequency co-occurrence phenotypes of children′s psychosocial and behavioral problems were identified. Demographic factors, such as parental employment, education, as well as psychosocial factors like parent-child relationship, screen time and outdoor activity, were investigated. χ 2 test was used to analyze differences between groups. Multivariate Logistic regression modeling was conducted to identify potential factors. Results:Among 14 711 children (7 501 boys, 7 210 girls) who provided effective questionnaires, the detection rates of single problem in the boys aged 6-11 years, girls aged 6-11 years, boys aged 12-16 years, and girls aged 12-16 years groups were 4.9% (171/3 461), 6.2% (193/3 120), 3.9% (158/4 040), and 5.1% (208/4 090), respectively; the detection rates of co-occurrence were 7.6% (262/3 461), 7.7% (241/3 120), 4.9% (199/4 040), and 5.7% (234/4 090), respectively. The overall detection rates of co-occurrence was higher than that of single problem ( χ2=25.47, P<0.001). Among children with co-occurrence, there were varied manifestations: in the boys aged 6-11 years group, the detection rates of social withdrawal (69.8% (183/262)), schizoid-like behavior (68.3% (179/262)), and compulsive behavior (67.6% (177/262)) were relatively high; in the girls aged 6-11 years group, the detection rates of schizoid-compulsive behavior (69.3% (167/241)), delinquent behavior (65.6% (158/241)), and hyperactivity (58.9% (142/241)) were relatively high; in the boys aged 12-16 years group, the detection rates of hyperactivity (78.9% (157/199)), compulsive behavior (67.3% (134/199)), and immature behavior (57.3% (114/199)) were relatively high; in the girls aged 12-16 years group, the detection rates of schizoid-like behavior (89.7% (210/234)), immature behavior (59.0% (138/234)), and cruelty (57.7% (135/234)) were relatively high. Maternal bachelor′s degree or higher ( OR=0.78, 95% CI 0.61-0.99, P=0.038) served as co-occurrence protective factors, whereas having 1 or more siblings, increased parent-child conflict and decreased parent-child interaction time ( OR=1.24, 1.41, 1.36; 95% CI 1.02-1.52, 1.15-1.73, 1.02-1.82, all P<0.05) were co-occurrence risk factors. Conclusions:Children exhibit strong co-occurrence tendencies in psychosocial and behavioral problems. Compulsive and schizoid traits are the predominant co-occurring phenotypes for childhood and girls respectively. ?Familial environment plays a critical role, necessitating ?multidimensional clinical assessments and ?family-centered interventions.

OBJECTIVE To prepare a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system(SMEDDS) for the oral administration of nebivolol hydrochloride(NBH) and to conduct in vitro evaluation. METHODS The solubility of NBH was determined using various oil phases, surfactants, and co-surfactants. The composition of the blank self-microemulsifying formulation was determined using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. A centralcomposite design-response surface method was employed to screen and optimize the formulation variables, and an excess amount of NBH raw material was incorporated to determine the drug loading capacity. RESULTS The optimized composition of the NBH-SMEDDS formulation consisted of medium-chain glycerides, capryl caproyl macrogol glycerides, and 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl acetate at a ratio of 20∶48∶32, with a drug loading capacity of 20.05 mg. The particle size, self-emulsification time, and particle size distribution range of the formulation were in agreement with the predicted values. Dissolution testing demonstrated that the overall dissolution trend of NBH-SMEDDS in the medium was higher than that of NBH powder and NBH ordinary tablet. The stability of NBH-SMEDDS was found to be satisfactory under accelerated conditions for 1, 2, and 3 months. CONCLUSION The SMEDDS shows potential for enhancing the in vitro dissolution of NBH and demonstrates good stability.

Thermal ablations are rapidly developing techniques for minimally invasive treatment,including laser ab-lation,radiofrequency ablation,and microwave ablation.Such remarkable success has been achieved in treatment malig-nant neoplasms,for instance,hepatocellular carcinoma and renal cell adenocarcinoma.In recent years,the practice has been gradually adopted into the treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC).Many reports have stated that ther-mal ablations have distinctive advantages over traditional thyroidectomy owing to its efficacy and safety for treatment pri-mary PTMC,meanwhile there are many controversial issues which hotly debated regarding to first-line treatments.Re-cently,indications and contraindications of thermal ablation for PTMC have been successively proposed by guidelines and consensuses.Many follow-up reports related to thermal ablation in the treatment of PTMC have been reported in clinical practice as well.In this review,we summarized the principles,indications and contraindications,and the efficacy and safety of thermal ablation in the treatment of PTMC,and compared it with traditional surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of subacute dynamic silica dust inhalation on the histopathology of major organs and the cytokine changes in lung tissues. METHODS: Male Kunming specific pathogen free mice were randomly divided into control group and dust exposure groups of 3, 14 and 28 d, with 7 mice in each group.The mice of the 3 exposure groups were given for 3, 12 and 24 days with silica dust at a concentration of 1 000.00 mg/m~3 using the self-made automatic dust inhalation device, 6 hours per day and 6 days per week. Rats in the control group were not treated with dust. After the end of treatment, rats were sacrificed. The organ coefficients of the liver, kidney, spleen and lung were calculated. The pathological changes of the organs were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining method. The pulmonary fibrosis of lung tissues was evaluated by Masson staining method. Sirius scarlet picric acid staining was used to observe the collagen fiber area ratio in lung tissues. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin(IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 and matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2) in lung tissues. Colorimetric method was used to detect the level of hydroxyproline(HYP) in lung tissues. RESULTS: After the exposure to silica dust, the histology of liver, spleen and kidney tissues were not significantly changed in the mice of the 3 dust exposure groups. The lung organ coefficients increased in the mice of dust exposure groups of 3, 14 and 28 d compared with the control group(P<0.05). The spleen coefficient of mice in dust exposure groups of 3 and 14 d were higher than that in control group(P<0.05). Among the dust exposure groups, the score of pulmonary fibrosis and HYP level in lung tissues were increased with the prolonged dust exposure time(P<0.05). The collagen fiber area ratio of collagenⅠand Ⅲ, and the levels of IL-1β, TGF-β1 and MMP-2 in lung tissues increased in the 3 dust exposure groups compared with the control group(P<0.05). The collagen fiber area ratio of collagen Ⅲ, and the level of IL-1β in lung tissues of the 14 and 28 d of dust exposure group increased(P<0.05), and the TGF-β1 level decreased(P<0.05), when compared with the 3 d group. The collagen fiber area ratio of collagen Ⅰ in lung tissues of 14 d group and the level of MMP-2 in the 28 d group were higher than that of the 3 d group(P<0.05). The level of TNF-α in lung tissues of 14 d group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05), and while in 28 d group it was lower than those of the other 3 group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Subacute dynamic inhalation of silica dust can cause acute lung injury in mice. There is no obvious pathological change in liver, kidney and spleen. The pathological changes of lung tissue are inflammation and fibrosis, and the degree of fibrosis increases with the extension of dust exposure time, and cytokines also changed.

Objective: To explore the relationship between parents’ unstable marital status and offspring’s suicide attempts and the possible mediating factors, and to provide reference for suicide prevention among off spring grom unst able families. Methods: From 2017 to 2018, 2 766 valid questionnaires were collected from freshmen in a university in Hunan province. Students completed questionnaires of childhood trauma and depression traits,and reported their parents’ marital status and suicide attempts etc. Results: Compared to college students with parents of stable marital status,students with parents of unstable marital status showed higher reported rate of suicide attempts and higher scores of depression trait and childhood trauma (t/χ2=2.78, 5.83, 20.30, P<0.05). Controlling possible confounding factors,unconditional Logistic regression showed that childhood trauma,unstable marital status of parents and depressive traits were positively correlated with suicide attempt(OR=1.05, 1.45, 1.08, P<0.05). The 95% confidence interval of the Bootstrapping method with four mediation pathways (parental marital status→childhood trauma→depressive trait,childhood trauma→depressive trait→suicide attempt,parental marital status→childhood trauma→suicide attempt and parental marital status→childhood trauma→depressive trait→suicide attempt) does not include zero. Conclusion Childhood trauma and depressive traits mediate the relationship between parental instable marriage and suicide attempts in off spring.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, survival and prognostic factors of elder patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinical data of elder patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma enrolled in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from April 2006 to December 2012 were retrospectively collected. All the patients were divided into R-CHOP-like group and CHOP-like group according to the dosage regimen. And the differences in demographic characteristics, clinical features, survival time and prognostic factors were compared between these two groups.Results:A total of 158 patients were enrolled, of which 78 patients in the R-CHOP-like group and 80 patients in the CHOP-like group were eligible. There were no significant differences between two groups on age, gender, pathological staging, B symptoms, bulky mass, ECOG score, IPI score, pathological type, LDH level, β 2-MG level, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio(LMR), neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio(PLR), Ki-67 index and bone marrow invasion. In the R-CHOP like group, the median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 10 months, and the median overall survival (OS) time was 30 months. The 1-year and 2-year PFS rates were 46.2% and 19.2%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS rates were 79.5%, 59.0%, and 19.2%, respectively. In the CHOP-like group, the median PFS was 7 months, and the median OS was 15 months. The 1-year and 2-year PFS rates were 27.5% and 12.5% respectively. The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year OS rates were 65.0%, 32.5% and 13.8%, respectively. The median PFS time and OS time in the R-CHOP group were significantly better than those in the CHOP group ( P<0.05 for both). A stratified analysis showed that the PFS time and OS time were superior in the R-CHOP-like group compared to the CHOP-like group among patients older than 70 years ( P<0.05 for both). In patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, the PFS time and OS time in the R-CHOP-like group were also superior to CHOP-like group ( P<0.05 for both). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that IPI score, LDH value, β 2-MG value, ECOG score, LMR, and PLR had an significant effect on prognosis ( P<0.05 for all). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that lymphocyte/monocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio were independent prognostic factors for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ( P<0.05 for both). Conclusions:The R-CHOP-like chemotherapy regimen is superior to the CHOP-like regimen in the first-line treatment of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. ECOG score, LMR and PLR may be independent prognostic factors for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. ECOG score, LMR and PLR are independent prognostic factors.
