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.

BACKGROUND:U937 cells can be used as a cell model for studying the biological characteristics,signaling pathways,and therapeutic targets of acute myeloid leukemia.Although it has been reported that long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 is highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia,its biological function in U937 cells remains unclear,and its mechanism of action in the occurrence and development of acute myeloid leukemia needs to be further clarified. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression level of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 in peripheral blood of patients with acute myeloid leukemia and its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of U937 cells. METHODS:RNA-sequencing was used to analyze the bone marrow monocyte samples from acute myeloid leukemia patients,and the differentially expressed gene long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 was screened.The expression of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 in peripheral blood of patients with acute myeloid leukemia was detected by qRT-PCR.The relationship between long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 mRNA expression and prognosis in bone marrow cells of 173 acute myeloid leukemia patients and 70 healthy people was statistically analyzed by GEPIA database.Subsequently,recombinant lentivirus technology and CRISPR/Cas9-SAM technology were used to construct U937 cell lines with knockdown/overexpression of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125.qRT-PCR was used to detect the knockdown/overexpression efficiency of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125.Next,CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry,and western blot assay were used to detect the effects of knockdown/overexpression of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 on the proliferation and apoptosis of U937 cells.Finally,western blot assay was used to detect the effect of knockdown/overexpressed long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The results of qRT-PCR showed that long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 was highly expressed in peripheral blood of acute myeloid leukemia patients.The results of GEPIA database showed that long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 was highly expressed in bone marrow cells of acute myeloid leukemia patients,and the high expression group had worse overall survival.(2)The knockdown efficiency of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 in knockdown group was 70%,and the U937 cells that stably down-regulated long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 expression were successfully constructed.The expression of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 in overexpression group was four times that of vector group,and stable U937 cells were successfully constructed.(3)Knockdown of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 inhibited the proliferation of U937 cells and promoted their apoptosis.Overexpression of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 promoted the proliferation of U937 cells but had no significant effect on the apoptosis of U937 cells.(4)Knockdown of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 inhibited the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,while overexpression of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.These results confirm that long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 is highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia peripheral blood.Long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 may affect the proliferation and apoptosis of U937 cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,and may be a potential prognostic marker for acute myeloid leukemia.

OBJECTIVE To explore the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF). METHODS A retrospective collection of data was conducted on 42 MF patients who were treated with ruxolitinib in a standardized manner for more than 6 months in the Third People’s Hospital of Bengbu from September 2018 to April 2024. The clinical symptom scores, spleen size reduction, and MF grading of the patients before and after treatment were analyzed. Additionally, the occurrence of adverse reactions with a causality assessment result of “definite”“probable” or “possible” was recorded. The patients’ survival status was followed up. RESULTS After 6 months of treatment, both clinical symptom scores and the total score were significantly decreased than before treatment (P<0.05). The length and thickness of the spleen were significantly shorter than before treatment (P<0.05). MF classification in 5 patients decreased by 1 level compared with baseline, 1 case was level 2 and dropped to level 0, 14 patients remained stable. The main adverse reactions were anemia (26 cases), thrombocytopenia (14 cases), infection (11 cases), and gastrointestinal discomfort (9 cases). Thirty-nine patients survived, with a survival rate of 92.86%. CONCLUSIONS Ruxolitinib can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients with MF, shrink the spleen, stabilize and even improve MF grading, and holds promise for bringing long-term survival benefits to MF patients. Adverse reactions are mainly anemia, thrombocytopenia, infection and gastrointestinal discomfort.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of cytomegalovirus(CMV)and Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)co-reactivation after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)and its influence on prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 222 patients who received allo-HSCT from January 2015 to December 2020 were collected,and the patients were divided into groups according to the occurrence of CMV and EBV infection.Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis,and Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of co-reactivation of CMV and EBV.Results:After allo-HSCT,there were 30 patients with co-reactivation of CMV and EBV(CMV++EBV+group),101 patients with CMV viremia(CMV+group),149 patients with EBV viremia(EBV+group),and 28 patients with CMV and EBV inactivation(CMV-+EBV-group).Compared with the other groups,the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD)and hemorrhagic cystitis(HC)was higher in CMV++EBV+groups(53.3%vs 42.6%,36.9%,17.9%,P<0.001;36.7%vs 32.7%,22.8%,10.7%,P=0.042).The incidence of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease(PTLD)in CMV++EBV+group was similar to CMV+group and EBV+group(3.3%vs 3.0%,3.4%,P=0.811).Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the persistent time of CMV and EBV after transplantation were independent risk factors for co-reactivation of CMV and EBV.Compared with the other groups,the 2-year overall survival(OS)rate and 2-year disease-free survival(DFS)rate of patients inCMV++EBV+group were lower(46.7%vs 74.9%,83.4%,71.4%,P<0.001;46.7%vs 70.9%,79.5%,69.9%,P=0.002),and 2-year non-recurrence mortality(NRM)was higher(48.2%vs 22%,13.6%,18.7%,P<0.001).Conclusion:The persistent time of CMV and EBV after transplantation are independent risk factors for patients with co-reactivation of CMV and EBV.Patients with co-reactivation of CMV and EBV had lower OS and DFS rate and higher NRM,suggesting that the clinical prognosis of the patients are worse.
