Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of endovascular therapy (EVT) for early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with minor stroke due to acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion.Methods:Consecutive patients with mild stroke due to acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion admitted to Mianyang Central Hospital from October 2015 to October 2023 were included retrospectively. Minor stroke was defined as a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score <6. END was defined as an increase of ≥4 in NIHSS score compared to baseline within 12 hours of onset. According to whether EVT was performed or not, they were divided into EVT group and standard medical treatment (SMT) group. At 90 days after onset, the modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the outcome. 0-1 was defined as excellent outcome (primary outcome measure) and 0-2 was defined as good outcome (secondary outcome measure). The safety endpoints included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 72 hours after EVT and all-cause mortality within 90 days. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the correlation between EVT and clinical outcome. Results:A total of 164 patients with minor stroke due to acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion were included. Eighty-four patients (51.2%) developed END, of which 52 (61.9%) underwent EVT and 32 (38.1%) received SMT; 60 patients (71.4%) had excellent outcome, and 64 (76.2%) had good outcome. There was no significant difference in demographic and baseline clinical data between the EVT group and the SMT group. The excellent outcome rate of the EVT group at 90 days after onset showed a trend higher than that of SMT group (78.8% vs. 59.4%; χ2=3.680, P=0.055), but there was no significant difference in the good outcome rate and safety endpoints between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, EVT was significantly and independently associated with excellent outcome at 90 days (odds ratio 4.955, 95% confidence interval 1.331-22.284; P=0.024). Conclusion:For patients with minor stroke due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who experience END, EVT may improve their functional outcome without increasing the risk of sICH and mortality.

Exposure to acceleration can have Various effects on the physiology,psychology,and performance of human.With the increasing density and complexity of China's space mission,and the significant differences between deep space exploration and near Earth orbit flight,unprecedented challenges have been posed to the emotions of astronauts and the ability of human-machine collaboration to complete complex operational tasks in special environments.Similarly,with the continuous development of high-performance fighter jets,air combat operation are becoming increasingly complex,and the payload generated by the aircraft is also increasing.The requirements for the anti-overload ability of fighter pilots are also becoming higher and higher.A review of recent studies on physiological and cognitive load of acceleration exposure on humans.The research on human physiology is relatively systematic,but there is limited research on cognitive load.The corresponding evaluation methods,assessment methods,and assessment systems are not comprehensive enough,and there is a lack of mechanistic analysis.Multimodal analysis and modeling are even rarer.Further in-depth research is needed on the cognitive load and evaluation techniques of overweight environment in the future.This article provides reference for the selection,adaptive training,and related experimental research of overweight endurance for astronauts and pilots in the future.
