3.Research advances in high-risk paraneoplastic antibody-associated neurological disorders
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2026;43(3):280-288
Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNS) are immune-mediated disorders of the nervous system triggered by cross-immune response induced by tumor-associated antigens. Since high-risk paraneoplastic antibodies are highy associated with malignancies, they have an important clinical value in the early recognition, tumor screening, and prognostic assessment of PNS. The diagnostic criteria updated in 2021 further refined the classification of high-risk antibodies and clarified their value in risk assessment. This article systematically reviews the clinical spectrum, tumor associations, and immunopathogenic mechanisms of neurological disorders associated with the high-risk paraneoplastic antibodies such as anti-Hu, anti-Ri, anti-CV2, anti-Ma2, anti-amphiphysin, anti-Yo, anti-PCA2, anti-Tr, anti-SOX1, and anti-KLHL11 antibodies. Immunotherapy combined with active control of primary tumor is the main treatment strategy for such disease, but with a limited overall therapeutic effect, and early identification is of particular importance. In the era of the wide application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the risk of ICIs in inducing or exacerbating should be taken seriously in clinical practice. Mechanistic research, multimodal diagnostic approaches, and individualized treatment strategies should be enhanced in the future to improve the prognosis of patients.
4.Research advances in nonconvulsive status epilepticus
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(8):711-717
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a state of persistent epileptic seizure characterized by disturbance of consciousness or major neurological deficits, without obvious limb convulsions. Due to a lack of obvious clinical manifestations and the potential risk of neurological damage, current research focuses on rapid identification, accurate classification, and optimization of treatment strategies. Since there is a lack of obvious motor symptoms in NCSE, it is difficult for clinicians to quickly identify the disease through traditional signs, which poses great challenges to diagnosis, and underdiagnosis may lead to delayed treatment and poor prognosis. This article systematically reviews the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and key diagnostic points of NCSE and discusses existing treatment regimens and prognosis, in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C0), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug-drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Purpose:
To understand the recurrence risk perception of stroke patients and develop a chain mediation model of recurrence risk perception and health behavior.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study and convenience sampling were used. Stroke survivors were recruited from the neurology departments of three tertiary hospitals. Their recurrence risk perception, behavioral decision-making, social support, self-efficacy, recurrence worry, and health behavior were measured by relevant tools. Data was analyzed through one-way analysis and regression analysis, and the AMOS 21.0 software was used to explore the mediating relationships between variables.
Results:
Of the 419 participants, 74.7% were aware of stroke recurrence risk. However, only 28.2% could accurately estimate their own recurrence risk. Recurrence risk perception was significantly correlated with behavioral decision-making, social support, self-efficacy, and health behavior (r = .19 ∼ .50, p < .05). Social support and recurrence risk perception could affect health behavior indirectly through self-efficacy, behavioral decision-making, and worry. Behavioral decision-making acted as a main mediator between recurrence risk perception and health behavior, while the path coefficient was .47 and .37, respectively. The chain mediation effect between recurrence risk perception and health behavior was established with a total effect value of .19 (p < .01).
Conclusion
Most stroke survivors could be aware of recurrence risk but failed to accurately estimate their individual risk. In the mediation model of recurrence risk perception and health behavior, social support seemed to be an important external factor, while self-efficacy, behavioral decision-making, and worry seemed to act as key internal factors.

Objective To analysis the effectiveness and cost of Internet-based anticoagulation clinic versus traditional anticoagulation clinic treatment at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods We reviewed and analyzed the clinical data of patients receiving anticoagulation management through Internet-based outpatient care and traditional outpatient care in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,from June 1,2020 to June 30,2021.Variability in time in therapeutic range(TTR)and international normalized ratio(INR)were calculated for enrolled patients.Patients meeting TTR≥60%and INR variability<0.65 were considered optimal anticoagulation quality.Cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the patients'perspective,with results expressed using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER).Results In the"Internet-based anticoagulation outpatient care"and"traditional face-to-face anticoagulation outpatient care"groups,19 individuals(67.86%)and 67 individuals(76.14%)met the criteria for optimal anticoagulation quality,respectively.The mean TTR was(71.83±19.17)%in the Internet-based group and(71.74±23.41)%in the traditional face-to-face group,indicating similar levels of warfarin anticoagulation quality between the two groups.The ICER was calculated as 327.17 yuan,less than the per capita gross domestic product(GDP)of 2021.Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic,Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital's Internet-based anticoagulation outpatient care effectively complemented the government's epidemic control policies.It ensured equivalent anticoagulation outcomes and significantly reduced patients'financial burdens.This approach offers new insights and guidance for optimizing healthcare services in the post-pandemic era.
10.Interpretation of the International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society joint report on revisiting the concept of drug-resistant epilepsy
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2024;41(6):486-492
Despite the availability of novel anti-seizure medications(ASMs)in their third generation,one-third of the patients with epilepsy may progress to drug-resistant epilepsy(DRE).In 2010,the International League Against Epi-lepsy(ILAE)introduced the concept of DRE,which is still used today,and early diagnosis of DRE can facilitate timely preoperative evaluation for individuals with no response to ASMs,helping them to benefit from epilepsy surgery.Since the incidence rate of DRE remains high and there is a lack of update in related concepts,the ILAE/American Epilepsy Society(AES)Joint Translational Task Force discussed the heterogeneity,complexity,and dynamic changes of DRE manifesta-tions and mechanisms throughout the lifespan and across various species from the perspective of coordinating preclinical and clinical studies.The Joint Translational Task Force advocates the necessity of revisiting the current definition of DRE to enhance the clinical management of DRE,steer future research efforts towards DRE,and provide patients with more ef-fective and individualized treatment strategies,so as to reduce the incidence rate of DRE and improve the quality of life of patients.This article provides a concise overview and interpretation of the ILAE/AES report.
