Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of intraoperative intravenous tirofiban versus preoperative loading dose dual antiplatelet therapy in the acute phase LVIS stent-assisted coil embolization treatment for ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.Methods Patients with acutely ruptured,wide-neck intracranial aneurysms underwent LVIS stent-assisted coil embolization in the Department of Neurosurgery at Heze Municipal Hospital were retrospectively and consecutively enrolled from January 2017 to June 2023.According to the Chinese expert consensus on antiplatelet therapy for intracranial aneurysms,patients were divided into two groups based on the types of antiplatelet therapy they received:the loading-dose dual antiplatelet therapy(DAPT)group and the tirofiban group.Baseline and clinical data were collected and compared between the two groups,including age,sex,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,coronary artery disease,history of cerebral hemorrhage,preoperative Hunt-Hess grade,maximum aneurysm diameter,aneurysm neck width,and aneurysm location.Perioperative ischemic and hemorrhagic complications were collected and compared between the two groups.Perioperative ischemic complications included:intraoperative stent thrombosis(defined as filling defects in the parent artery,and,occlusion of the parent artery or stented branch during the procedure),and symptomatic ischemic infarction within 24 h postoperatively(confirmed by imaging with corresponding neurological deficits).Perioperative hemorrhagic complications included:intraoperative rupture of the target aneurysm(contrast extravasation or acute hemorrhage during embolization)and intracranial hemorrhage within 24 h postoperatively(new or worsened subarachnoid hemorrhage or intraparenchymal hemorrhage on CT).Clinical outcomes at 90 days were collected via telephone or outpatient follow-up,and evaluated using favorable prognosis defined as modified Rankin scale(mRS).A mRS score of 0-2 were defined as favorable prognosis and 3-6 as poor prognosis.Six-month postoperative imaging follow-up were collected,angiographic outcomes were categorized into four groups based on comparison with immediate post-embolization results:complete occlusion,total absence of contrast filling in the aneurysm sac;improved,reduced contrast filling;stable,unchanged contrast filling;and,recurrence,increased contrast filling.Results Totals of 108 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated by LVIS stent-assisted coiling were enrolled,with 30 males and 78females,aged32-75years(median age63[50,66]years).Among the108cases,55cases were assigned into the DAPT group,and 53 cases were included in the tirofiban group.(1)No statistically significant differences were observed between the tirofiban group and the DAPT group in baseline and clinical characteristics(all P>0.05).(2)All patients underwent successful LVIS stent-assisted coiling,with a technical success rate of 100%.The total perioperative ischemic complications were 12.0%(13/108),including 4.6%(5/108)intraoperative stent thrombosis and 7.4%(8/108)symptomatic ischemic infarction within 24h after surgery.The total perioperative hemorrhagic complications rate was 1.9%(2/108),including 1 case of intraoperative aneurysm rupture and 1 case of postoperative intracranial hemorrhage within24h.92.6%(100/108)of the patients exhibited favorable prognosis and 7.4%(8/108)showed poor prognosis at the 90-day follow-ups.78.7%(85/108)of the patients accomplished at 6-month imaging follow-ups,the complete occlusion ratio was 94.1%(80/85)and the recurrence ratio was 2.4%(2/85).(3)The overall perioperative ischemic complication rates were 13.2%(7/53)in the tirofiban group and 10.9%(6/55)in the DAPT group,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.720).Intraoperative stent thrombosis occurred more frequently in the DAPT group(9.1%[5/55]vs.0,P=0.025),while symptomatic ischemic infarction within 24 h post-procedure was lower in the DAPT group(1.8%[1/55]vs.13.2%[7/53],P=0.028).The hemorrhagic complications occurred only in the DAPT group,with a rate of 3.6%(2/55),while no events observed in the tirofiban group.At the 90-day follow-up,the proportion of patients with favorable outcomes was 94.3%(50/53)in the tirofiban group and 90.9%(50/55)in the DAPT group,with no statistically significant difference between the groups(P=0.754).Conclusions Both intraoperative intravenous tirofiban and preoperative loading-dose DAPT demonstrated comparable safety profile and favorable clinical efficacy in the acute-phase treatment of ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms with LVIS stent-assisted coil embolization.The results require further validation through large-scale prospective studies.

"When warm evil is received,it first attacks the lungs and then spread to the pericardium reversely"is the general rule of warm diseases.Doctors of different dynasties have different views on the phrase"reverse spread to the pericardium",especially the word"reverse".Professor Tong Xiaolin proposed that the heart governs the mind,the pericardium and the heart are connected in qi,and when the heart is affected by evil,the pericardium instead suffers from the evil.The"reverse spread to the pericardium"proposed by Ye Tianshi is actually the spread of warm evil to the brain.Taking meningococcal meningitis as the basic disease,it can be matched one by one with the typical stages of the transmission of Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue.Combined with the theory of Dingjiao,it is believed that the function of"the heart governing the mind"focuses more on the brain in the modern anatomical sense.Combining traditional Chinese medicine's ideas on diagnosis and treatment of warm diseases with modern medicine,revealing the essence of the disease,grasping the core of the pathogenesis,analyzing the word"reverse"from a new perspective,and exploring its true meaning,is of great significance for clarifying its connotation,exploring the development laws of warm diseases,and guiding the diagnosis and treatment of warm disea-ses.

Objective:To explore the effects of peripheral nerve injury(PNI)on neuropathic pain(NP)and memo-ry function in mice,as well as the activation of neurons in the paraventricular nucleus(PVT)of the thalamus,so as to provide a basis for studying the relationship between NP and memory impairment.Methods:Twenty one 8-week-old male C57 BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sham group and experimental group,and the routine spared nerve inju-ry(SNI)was constructed in the mice of experimental group.The pain behavior and memory impairment of mice after SNI were evaluated with hot plate and eight-arm maze behavioral tests.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to an-alyze the correlation between pain behavior and memory impairment.The c-FOS expression in PVT was detected with immuno-staining.Results:Compared with the sham group,the heat pain threshold of mice in the experimental group was significantly reduced(P<0.001).The results of the eight-arm maze test showed that the total rest time was signifi-cantly increased(P<0.001),and the working memory error was increased from 1 to 4 days after SNI(P<0.01).Correlation analysis indicated that early working memory errors were negatively correlated with heat pain threshold after SNI(P<0.001).The immunofluorescence revealed that the number of c-FOS positive cells in PVT increased signifi-cantly(P<0.001).Conclusion:SNI can cause abnormal pain behavior and memory impairment in mice,and cause neuronal activation in PVT.This study provides a basis for neurons in PVT to participate in the regulation of memory impairment in the context of NP.

Objective:To systematically analyze the incidence and influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies.Methods:Research on frailty in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies was retrieved from Chinese and English databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Web of Science. The search period was from database establishment to August 23, 2024. Two researchers screened the included studies, conducted quality assessment, and extracted data. Meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 18 and RevMan 5.4.Results:A total of seven studies were included, encompassing 19 076 elderly hematologic malignancy patients, with a frailty incidence of 59% [95% CI (0.48, 0.69) ]. Meta-analysis revealed that age [ MD=4.31, 95% CI (3.67, 4.96) ], gender [ OR=0.88, 95% CI (0.83, 0.93) ], alcohol consumption [ OR=1.67, 95% CI (1.15, 2.44) ], self-care ability [ MD=-1.79, 95% CI (-3.17, -0.41) ], anemia [ OR=6.67, 95% CI (2.94, 15.14) ], infection [ OR=1.81, 95% CI (1.16, 2.84) ], and neuropathy [ OR=2.52, 95% CI (1.38, 4.61) ] were the influencing factors of frailty in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies. Conclusions:The incidence of frailty is high in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies. Elderly patients with hematologic malignancies who are older, female, consume alcohol, have low self-care ability, anemia, infections, and neuropathy are prone to frailty. Healthcare providers can conduct early screening and intervention for high-risk populations of frailty based on risk factors to improve the quality of life for elderly hematologic malignancy patients.

Endovascular aneurysm repair(EVAR)is the most common treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.However,when the common iliac artery has expansion or aneurysm,there may be internal leakage at the distal end of the stent.In this case,the ideal endovascular repair should ensure the pelvic blood supply on the premise of complete exclu-sion of the aneurysm.It is feasible and safe to use iliac branch devices(IBD)to preserve unilateral or bilateral internal iliac arteries,and its technology and clinical results are equivalent to standard EVAR.But IBD has certain anatomical a-daptability.In this paper,the current status of preservation of internal iliac artery with IBD is systematically reviewed.

Objective:To explore the effects of essential tremor(ET)on the mitochondrial morphology of GABAer-gic and glutamatergic neurons in the inferior olive(IO).Methods:The ET mouse model was established via intraper-itoneal injection of harmaline.Twelve 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into saline control group and harmaline treatment group(HA).Behavioral tests,including open field test,rotarod test,balance beam test,and tremor scoring,were conducted to assess the behavior of mice.Using genetic engineering technology and the CRISPR/Cas9 system,we designed and generated 6 male GAD2-Mito-GFP mice and 6 male VGLUT2-Mito-GFP mice,all being 8-week-old.The mice of each transgenic line were randomly divided into Control and HA group.Immunofluorescence staining was used to analyze the expression of c-FOS positive cells in the IO of both the Control and HA groups,and to classify different types of neurons.Mitochondrial network analysis(MiNA)was performed to quantitatively analyze the area,mean aspect ratio,branch length,and other of mitochondria in different types of neurons in the IO under ET con-ditions.Results:Compared to the Control group,the HA group exhibited motor abnormalities and significant tremors.Immunofluorescence results showed a significant increase in the number of c-FOS positive cells in the IO,primarily in GABAergic neurons.MiNA results revealed that the mitochondria of GABAergic neurons showed increased area,branch length diameter,demonstrating irregular morphology.Conclusion:ET induces activation of GABAergic neurons in the IO and leads to more prominent mitochondrial morphological changes.This provides a new perspective for further inves-tigation of the pathogenesis of essential tremor and its relationship with mitochondrial.
