Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety differences between direct mechanical thrombectomy (abbreviated as direct thrombectomy) and bridging therapy in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and atrial fibrillation.Methods:A retrospective collection of data was conducted for hospitalized patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy due to acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion with atrial fibrillation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Suzhou Kowloon Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022. Patients were divided into direct thrombectomy and bridging therapy groups based on whether intravenous thrombolysis was used, and the clinical outcomes and safety indicators of the two groups were compared. The primary clinical outcomes included the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days and the proportion of patients with neurological independence at 90 days (the proportion of patients with mRS scores of 0-2). Safety indicators included 90-day mortality rate, intracranial hemorrhage rate, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage [deterioration of neurological function and an increase of ≥4 points in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score] rate, and pneumonia incidence. Using the 90-day prognosis as a dependent variable, a binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the factors influencing poor prognosis in patients at 90 days.Results:Among the 534 screened patients, 125 were included in the study, with 74 in the direct thrombectomy group and 51 in the bridging therapy group. The difference in the mRS scores at 90 days between the direct thrombectomy group and the bridging therapy group was not statistically significant [2 (0, 3) vs 3 (1, 3), Z=-1.444, P=0.149]. The difference in the proportion of patients with independent neurological function at 90 days [66.2% (49/74) vs 47.1% (24/51), χ2=4.561, P=0.033] was statistically significant between the 2 groups. The 90-day mortality rate [5.4% (4/74) vs 9.8% (5/51), χ 2=0.936, P=0.483], the intracranial hemorrhage rate [17.6% (13/74) vs 29.4% (15/51), χ 2=2.437, P=0.119], the symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate [12.2% (9/74) vs 23.5% (12/51), χ 2=2.791, P=0.095], and the pneumonia incidence [59.5% (44/74) vs 56.9% (29/51), χ 2=0.084, P=0.772] between the 2 groups showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). The time from admission to puncture was 97 (74, 122) min and 150 (127, 168) min for the direct thrombectomy and bridging therapy groups, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=-5.846, P<0.001). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that venous thrombolysis (adjusted OR=3.004, 95% CI 1.057-8.539, P=0.039), NIHSS score at onset (adjusted OR=1.096, 95% CI 1.009-1.191, P=0.030), and pneumonia (adjusted OR=12.814, 95% CI 3.775-43.499, P<0.001) were associated with poor prognosis at 90 days. Conclusion:For patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and atrial fibrillation, direct thrombectomy can increase the proportion of neurological independence at 90 days compared to bridging therapy, with no statistically significant differences in safety indicators, which may be related to the shorter time from admission to puncture in the direct thrombectomy group.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) have emerged as a serious global health issue due to its high rates of occurrence, disability, and mortality. DFU exhibit an exceptionally high recurrence rate, driven by a combination of behavioral and biological factors, leading to the recognition of fully epithelialized ulcers as being in "remission" rather than cured. However, the pathogenic factors underlying recurrent DFU (RDFU) remain poorly understood. This review examines the epidemiological characteristics and pathophysiological mechanisms of RDFU. Key mechanisms include neuropathy, angiopathy, epigenetic modifications, and metabolic memory. Research demonstrates that RDFU development results from the interplay of multiple factors: hyperglycemia-induced metabolic abnormalities, chronic inflammatory responses, vascular and neurological damage, as well as dysregulated epigenetic control. These factors interact synergistically, creating a vicious cycle that increases the risk of recurrence and delays recovery. By synthesizing current knowledge, this review aims to provide a foundation for future research and clinical management of RDFU. The insights presented support the development of personalized treatment strategies and effective preventive measures to reduce recurrence and improve patient outcomes.
