Objective:To investigate the potential value of cerebral glucose metabolism characteristics in anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) antibody-related encephalitic patients during acute phase as the clinical indicator of disease outcomes.Methods:From October 2019 to December 2023, 28 patients (18 males, 10 females; age (56.6±11.9) year) with anti-LGI1 antibody-related encephalitis diagnosed at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University were prospectively enrolled. All patients received baseline brain 18F-FDG PET imaging and were divided into different subgroups according to the prognosis (good prognosis and poor prognosis groups) and recurrence (recurrence and non-recurrence groups) after follow-up. The difference of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score between the two groups was compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis was used to analyze the PET images of different groups by independent-sample t test, and the characteristics of cerebral glucose metabolism of patients with different outcomes were obtained. Results:MoCA scores between the recurrence group ( n=6) and the non-recurrence group ( n=22; 14.0(9.8, 20.5) vs 22.0(18.0, 24.0); Z=2.17, P=0.030), and between the poor prognosis group ( n=13) and the good prognosis group ( n=15; 14.0(10.0, 22.0) vs 22.0(19.8, 25.3); Z=2.47, P=0.013) were significantly different. Compared with the good prognosis group, the cerebral glucose metabolism in the poor prognosis group was decreased in the bilateral frontal lobe, lateral temporal lobe, inferior parietal lobule and cingulate gyrus, but increased in the brainstem, bilateral lentiform nucleus and bilateral paracentral lobule/postcentral gyrus (all t=1.71, all P<0.05). Compared with the non-recurrence group, the metabolism of bilateral medial frontal gyrus, anterior cingulate gyrus, bilateral insula, superior temporal gyrus and thalamus decreased in the recurrence group, while the metabolism of bilateral precentral gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus and bilateral lentiform nucleus increased (all t=1.71, all P<0.05). Conclusion:18F-FDG PET imaging reveals the differences in brain metabolism of anti-LGI1 antibody-related encephalitic patients at baseline with different outcomes (prognosis, recurrence or not), which can provide a new perspective for the clinical evaluation of the disease at baseline.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of early endovascular treatment(EVT)for the stroke patients caused by large vessel occlusion(LVO)due to intracranial atherosclerosis(ICAS)or due to cardioembolism(CE).Methods The clinical data of 488 patients with acute anterior circulation LVO stroke,who received early endovascular treatment at the Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College of China from October 2015 to December 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.According to the cause of disease,the patients were divided into ICAS group(n=108)and CE group(n=380).The clinical data,mainly including the proportion of patients having a good prognosis at 90 days after operation(modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 points),the incidence of symptomatic intracranial cerebral hemorrhage(sICH),and the mortality of patients at 90 days after operation.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing patient's prognosis.Results Of the 488 patients,29(5.9％)developed postoperative sICH,242(49.6％)achieved a good prognosis at 90 days after the operation,and 91(18.6％)died.The above outcomes in the ICAS group were one,66,and 11 patients respectively,which in the CE group were 28,176,and 80 respectively,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that good prognosis at 90 days after the operation(OR=0.962,95％CI:0.404-2.288,P=0.930)and the postoperative 90-day mortality(OR=1.379,95％CI:0.436-4.362,P=0.584)were not the factors influencing prognosis,while the postoperative sICH(OR=19.132,95％CI:1.332-274.791,P=0.030)was the factor influencing prognosis.Conclusion In CE group,the incidence of sICH and the postoperative 90-day mortality are higher,while in ICAS group,the postoperative 90-day good prognosis rate is higher.The postoperative sICH is the factor influencing prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the differences of the glymphatic system (GS) function between patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (mTLE-HS) and healthy controls and between different seizure types by using diffusion tensor imaging along perivascular space (DTI-ALPS), and to analyze the correlation between GS function and the course of disease, as well as the efficacy of predicting the surgical outcome.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 171 patients with mTLE-HS (mTLE-HS group) and 75 healthy volunteers (HC group) were retrospectively enrolled from July 2009 to July 2021 at Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University. The general information of all subjects, such as seizure type (partial seizure, secondary generalized seizure), surgical outcome, etc., was analyzed. The 3D magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo T 1WI and DTI sequence images were collected. The VBM analysis method was used to segment cerebrospinal fluid and calculate the volume. The ALPS index of the bilateral brain was calculated using the Atlas-based DTI-ALPS method. Independent sample t-test or paired t test were used to compare the ALPS index between the mTLE-HS group and HC group, and between patients with different seizure types. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between bilateral ALPS index and disease duration in mTLE-HS group. The predictive value of the ALPS index for surgical outcomes was evaluated by receiver operating characteristics curve and area under the curve. Results:Among the 171 mTLE-HS patients, 98 patients were mTLE with left-side HS (mTLE-LHS) and 73 patients were mTLE with right-side HS (mTLE-RHS); 37 patients underwent surgical treatment, including 27 with good prognosis and 10 with poor prognosis. Compared with the HC group, the left-side ALPS index of mTLE-LHS and mTLE-RHS were both decreased ( P<0.05). The right-side ALPS index in mTLE-RHS was lower than that in the HC group ( P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the right-side ALPS index between mTLE-LHS and HC group ( P=0.080). The ALPS index on the affected side of patients with secondary generalized seizures was significantly lower than that of patients with only partial seizures (all P<0.05), but the difference in ALPS index on the healthy side was not statistically significant( P>0.05). The left-side and right-side ALPS index in mTLE-LHS were negatively correlated with disease duration ( r=-0.272, P=0.007; r=-0.307, P=0.002), but no significant correlation was found between the left-side or right-side ALPS index in mTLE-RHS (all P>0.05). The DTI-ALPS index on the affected side in mTLE-HS patients exhibited good diagnostic accuracy for surgical outcome classification, with an area under the curve of 0.778. Conclusions:The patients with mTLE-HS exhibit dysfunction of the GS, and the degree of impairment is related to the type of seizure and the course of epilepsy. The ALPS index, which characterizes the function of GS, demonstrates good diagnostic accuracy for classifying surgical outcomes.

Myopia has become a common eye disease in China and around the world. The myopia rate among children and adolescents in China has been continuously increasing, and it shows the characteristics of younger age and higher severity, seriously threatening eye health. According to recent studies, myopia is closely related to the axial length. During the progression of myopia, the excessively long axial length would lead to changes in ocular structure like the sclera, retina, and choroid, etc., thereby increasing the onset risk of diseases such as posterior staphyloma of the sclera and retinal detachment, and ultimately resulting in severe vision impairment. By reviewing the related literature at home and abroad in recent years, the paper systematically sorted out the relationship between the changes in axial length and fundus damage, deeply discussed the interacting mechanisms, aiming at providing reference for the prevention and treatment of myopia in children and adolescents, with the expectation of reducing the occurrence of complications of myopic fundus lesions, which has important practical significance for protecting the eye health of children and adolescents.

Smart healthcare plays an important role in easing the strain on medical resources and improving the continuity of chronic disease management. This study analysed the iatrogenic risks from the intrinsic attributes and the external environment of smart healthcare, including doctor-patient conflict risk, technical operation risk, information leakage risk, humanistic absence risk, legal risk, regulatory risk and ethical risk. Based on the " structure process result" model, suggestions were proposed to optimize the construction of a smart healthcare platform for chronic diseases, improve the legal system and industry standards, strengthen talent cultivation and capacity building, establish an integrated regulatory system, and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of chronic disease management. These suggestions provided references for creating a healthy, orderly, and safe smart healthcare environment for chronic disease patients.

Trauma has been predicted to be the leading cause of mortality among individuals under 45 years old, thus posing profound societal consequences. China′s trauma center system was established rather late and faces multiple challenges, including insufficient provincial-level trauma centers, constrained patient mobility with most critical cases limited to intra-provincial treatment and referrals, unsustainable "small-yet-comprehensive" county-level models, significant disparities in regional trauma care capacity, absence of consolidated provincial trauma centers, and inadequate specialist training programs. These factors collectively compromise the regional trauma care outcomes. To this end, integrating China′s trauma center development situation with Tongji Hospital′s 30-year institutional experience, the authors proposed establishing provincial high-capacity trauma centers for critical injuries, aiming to enhance the regional trauma care performance.
