Objective To explore the effect of collateral status on prognosis in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion(AIS-LVO)after Solitaire stent retriever in combination with the intracranial support catheter aspiration for mechanical thrombectomy(SWIM),and construct a prediction model for prognosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 240 elderly AIS-LVO patients who underwent SWIM technique in our hospital be-tween February 2019 and February 2024.According to gender,age,occlusion sites and TOAST classifications,they were divided into a modeling group(180 cases)and a verification group(60 cases)in a ratio of 3∶1.Based on the results of modified Rankin scale(mRS)at 3 months after surgery,the patients in the modeling group were further divided into good prognosis subgroup(mRS score:0-2,97 cases)and poor prognosis subgroup(mRS score:3-6,83 cases).Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the relationship between preoperative col-lateral circulation status and prognosis and to identify the influencing factors for prognosis.Then a prediction model for prognosis was constructed,and its performance was evaluated by ROC curve analysis.Results In the modeling group at 3 months of follow-up,the poor prognosis subgroup had significantly larger proportions of posterior circulation occlusion,cardiogenic embolism,ASITN/SIR grades 3-4 and hemorrhage transformation,higher NIHSS score at admission and longer interval from onset to vascular recanalization,while lower ASPECTS score at admission when compared with the good prognosis subgroup(P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that occlusion site,TOAST classification,NIHSS score at admission,interval from onset to vascular recanalization and hemorrhage transformation were independent risk fac-tors for poor prognosis,while ASPECTS score at admission and collateral circulation were protec-tive factors of good prognosis in the elderly AIS-LVO patients after SWIM technique(P<0.01).Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the regression equation obtained goodness of fit in the mod-eling group(P=0.435).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC,sensitivity and specificity of then constructed prediction model for poor prognosis was 0.855[95%CI(0.797-0.913)],81.93%and 79.38%,respectively.The model was further verified in the data of the verification group(34 cases in good prognosis and 26 cases with poor prognosis),the AUC value,sensitivity and speci-ficity was 0.839[95%CI(0.732-0.947)],84.62%and 79.41%,respectively.Conclusion Our pre-diction model constructed based on screened risk factors for poor prognosis has good validity in patients with AIS-LVO after SWIM technique,which can identify the patients at high risk for poor prognosis.

Objective:To establish a set of artificial intelligence (AI) verification rules for blood routine analysis.Methods:Blood routine analysis data of 18 474 hospitalized patients from the First Hospital of Jilin University during August 1st to 31st, 2019, were collected as training group for establishment of the AI verification rules,and the corresponding patient age, microscopic examination results, and clinical diagnosis information were collected. 92 laboratory parameters, including blood analysis report parameters, research parameters and alarm information, were used as candidate conditions for AI audit rules; manual verification combining microscopy was considered as standard, marked whether it was passed or blocked. Using decision tree algorithm, AI audit rules are initially established through high-intensity, multi-round and five-fold cross-validation and AI verification rules were optimized by setting important mandatory cases. The performance of AI verification rules was evaluated by comparing the false negative rate, precision rate, recall rate, F1 score, and pass rate with that of the current autoverification rules using Chi-square test. Another cohort of blood routine analysis data of 12 475 hospitalized patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University during November 1sr to 31st, 2023, were collected as validation group for validation of AI verification rules, which underwent simulated verification via the preliminary AI rules, thus performance of AI rules were analyzed by the above indicators. Results:AI verification rules consist of 15 rules and 17 parameters and do distinguish numeric and morphological abnormalities. Compared with auto-verification rules, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score of AI rules in training group were 22.7%, 1.6%, 74.5%, 1.3%, 75.7%, 97.2%, 93.5%, 94.7%, 94.1, respectively.All of them were better than auto-verification rules, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001), and with no important case missed. In validation group, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score were 19.2%, 8.2%, 70.1%, 2.5%, 72.6%, 89.2%, 70.0%, 88.3%, 78.1, respectively, Compared with the auto-verification rules, The false negative rate was lower, the false positive rate and the recall rate were slightly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:A set of the AI verification rules are established and verified by using decision tree algorithm of machine learning, which can identify, intercept and prompt abnormal results stably, and is moresimple, highly efficient and more accurate in the report of blood analysis test results compared with auto-vefication.

Objective To investigate the effect of retinoblastoma binding protein 4 (RBBP4)in Sp1 -mediated HIV long terminal repeat(LTR)transcription.Methods RBBP4 expression vector and Sp1 expression vector were respectively co-transfected into 293 T cells with HIV promoter pHIV-LTR-Luc or Sp1 site mutated pHIV-LTR-sp1 -mut by liposome transfection,and the transfected cells were examined by dual luciferase reporter assay system.The effect of RBBP4 on the binding of Sp1 to LTR was further studied by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).Results The relative firefly luciferase activity activated by Sp1 was decreased from 62.5 to 16 at the dose of 500 ng of RBBP4 expression vector (t =14.52,P <0.01 ).When the Sp1 binding sites were mutated,the effects of 100,300 or 500 ng of RBBP4 expression vector on the firefly luciferase activity of HIV LTR were not statistically significance (t =1 .897,2.357 and 3.162,all P <0.05).ChIP results showed that when the binding of RBBP4 on HIV LTR increased,the binding of Sp1 on HIV LTR increased significantly (t =11 .93,P <0.01 ),while the reduced binding of RBBP4 on HIV LTR significantly attenuated the binding of Sp1 onto LTR(t =11 .38,P <0.01 ).The effect of RBBP4 on the binding of Sp1 to DNA in ChIP assays was further verified by EMSA assays.Conclusion RBBP4 can inhibit the Sp1 -mediated HIV LTR transcription in 293 T cells.
