Objective To investigate the association between extensive perivascular space(EPVS)burden in different locations and ischemic stroke(IS),its subtypes,and transient ischemic attack(TIA)through Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods The summary data from large-scale Genome-wide Association Studies(GWAS)and various MR methods were employed.We applied multivariable MR to mitigate potential confounding factors and conduct sensitivity analyses to enhance result robustness.Subsequently,meta-analysis was utilized to integrate causal relationships between EPVS burden in different locations and IS from various sources.Additionally,reverse MR was employed to observe the impact of various IS types on EPVS burden.Finally,linkage disequilibrium score regression was conducted to assess genetic correlations between exposures and outcomes.Results EPVS burden in both the white matter(OR=1.12,95%CI:1.01-1.25;P=0.04)and basal ganglia(OR=1.57,95%CI:1.30-1.89;P<0.01)are significant risk factors for IS.EPVS burden in the basal ganglia is also a risk for IS(small-vessel)(OR=4.56,95%CI:2.57-8.27;P=5.95× 10-7).After IS and TIA there seems to be a potential increase in extensive basal ganglia perivascular space burden.Conclusions Extensive white matter perivascular space burden and extensive basal ganglia perivascular space burden may serve as important indicators to predict IS.

Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0%.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1%.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26%(range:0%-23.64%),with an upper quartile value of 0.74%.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels>0.74%at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P<0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74%.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level>0.74%at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95%CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95%CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level>0.74%at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95%CI:2.402-19.738,P<0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.
