Objective To explore the application value of serum cystatin C(CysC)and cluster of differentiation 147(CD147)in predicting restenosis after intracranial artery stenosis stenting(ICASS)in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 151 AIS patients who received ICASS were selected as the study group,and 112 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period were chosen as the control group.The study group was further divided into the restenosis group(30 cases)and the non-stenosis group(121 cases)based on the restenosis status within 6 months after ICASS.The serum CysC levels of the subjects were detected by immunoturbidimetry,and the serum CD147 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the application efficacy of serum CysC and CD147 levels in predicting restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients.Results Serum levels of CysC and CD147 were higher in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.01).The proportion of patients with stenosis degree>75%and serum levels of CysC and CD147 were higher in the restenosis group than those in the non-stenosis group(P＜0.01).The degree of stenosis>75%and the increased serum levels of CysC and CD147 were risk factors for restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that serum CysC and CD147 levels independently predicted the AUC of AIS patients with restenosis after ICASS were 0.845 and 0.850,respectively,and the combined predicted AUC was 0.942.The combined prediction efficiency was significantly better than that of single indicator prediction(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increased levels of serum CysC and CD147 in AIS patients are risk factors for restenosis after ICASS,and the combination of the two is more effective in predicting intracranial artery restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of different preferred thrombectomy strategies for embolic acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (AVBAO).Methods:Forty-four patients with embolic AVBAO who underwent endovascular treatment in Department of Neurology, Nanyang Central Hospital from January 2019 to June 2021 were included in the study. Patients were divided into stent-retriever thrombectomy group ( n=27) and aspiration thrombectomy group ( n=17) according to different preferred thrombectomy strategies. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the prognoses of these patients 90 d after surgery; the differences of clinical data, surgery-related characteristics, prognoses and complications between the two groups were compared. Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of time from onset to puncture, sites of target vessel occlusion, proportion of patients accepted intraoperative remedial measures, and successful recirculation rate of target vessels ( P>0.05). Compared with the aspiration thrombectomy group, the stent-retriever thrombectomy group had significantly decreased utilization rate of middle catheters, significantly increased retrieval attempts in thrombectomy, statistically lower re-recanalization rate of first-time thrombectomy on the target vessels, significantly longer time from puncture to re-recanalization, and significantly higher incidence of new embolism ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in incidences of vascular rupture and postoperative spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), and good prognosis rate 90 d after surgery ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For embolic AVBAO patients, similar recanalization and short-term good prognosis can be obtained by aspiration thrombectomy to those by stent-retriever thrombectomy; besides that, aspiration thrombectomy has advantages as shorter recanalization time, less new embolic complications and higher re-recanalization rate of first-time thrombectomy.

Objective To explore the effect of different hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) on delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae followed carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning (DNS).Methods Patients diagnosed acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) or DNS due to CO poisoning in the hospital from October 2015 to October 2016 were included.Patients who died of ACOP or in persisting unconsciousness condition were excluded.Information of the patients were retrospectively collected including personal data,clinical features and treatment course of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO).All subjects were divided into two groups,consisting of cases who developed into DNS and who fully recovered,according toclinical symptoms.The differences of personal data,clinical features and treatment course of HBO were compared between the two groups.After adjusting the confounding factors,hyperbaric oxygen treatment program of the two groups were analyzed.Results DNS occurred in 39 patients with acute CO poisoning,while 130 patients were fully recovery.The ratio of patients over 55 years old or with smoking history in the DNS group were higher than that in the good outcome group (82.1％ vs.60.8％,23.1％ vs.10.8％).Patients who awoke from unconsciousness but left cognitive impairment were more likely to develop into DNS (P=0.017).Patients who treated with HBO within the first 24 hours,risk of developing into DNS were decreased(OR=0.14,P＜0.01).At the same time,2 times per day and within the first 24 hours worked also as well.(OR=0.29,P=0.011).Even if patients who were given 2 times a day of HBO but not in the first 24 hours after poisoning,could not reduce the risk of evolving to DNS(OR=0.06,P＞0.05);The proportion of patients in the good outcome group accepted HBO for more than six days after poisoning was higher than that in the DNS group (68.5％ vs.48.7％).After adjusting confounding factors,patients who treated with HBO within the first 24 hours (OR=0.22,95％CI:0.09-0.52),2 times per day(OR=0.30,95％CI:0.10-0.87)and lasted for more than 6 days(OR=0.30,95％CI:0.10-0.87)were in a lower risk of involving to DNS.Conclusions For patients diagnosed ACOP,HBOT began in the first 24 hours,1 or 2 times per day or early sustaining to give HBO for more than 6 days could reduce the risk of DNS.
