Background: and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking. Methods: This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance. Results: Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal. Conclusions The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence rate of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） pancreatitis （PEP） in patients with difficult common bile duct intubation undergoing pancreatic duct stenting during surgery， as well as the effect of pancreatic duct stenting in the prevention and treatment of PEP， and to provide a basis for clinical treatment. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 186 patients with biliary tract disease who underwent initial ERCP and had difficult common bile duct intubation in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2024， and according to the condition of pancreatic duct stenting， the patients were divided into control group with 73 patients （without pancreatic duct stenting）， 5Fr-5 cm stent group with 67 patients， and 7Fr-5 cm stent group with 46 patients. The three groups were compared in terms of baseline data， intraoperative procedures， and postoperative outcomes. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups； the Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the Dunn method was used for further comparison between two groups； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for PEP in patients with difficult intubation during ERCP. ResultsThe overall incidence rate of PEP was 12.37% （23/186）. Compared with the 5Fr-5 cm stent group and the 7Fr-5 cm stent group， the control group had a significantly higher incidence rate of PEP， a significantly higher score of postoperative abdominal pain， and a significantly longer length of postoperative hospital stay （all P0.01）， and 55.56% of the patients in the control group had moderate-to-severe PEP. The univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intradiverticular papilla， double guide wire intubation， needle knife precut， the application of basket and balloon for removal of common bile duct stones， intraoperative biopsy， pancreatic duct stenting， intubation time≤10 minutes， frequency of intubation≤5 times， preoperative CRP≤5 mg/L were influencing factors for PEP （all P0.05）， and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative pancreatic duct stenting， needle knife precut， and intraoperative biopsy were independent influencing factors for the onset of PEP （all P0.05）. ConclusionPancreatic duct stenting during ERCP can effectively reduce the risk of PEP in patients with difficult intubation， while needle knife precut and intraoperative biopsy can increase the risk of PEP in patients with difficult intubation.

α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(α7nAChR)is widely expressed in the central nervous system and immune system,and plays a neuro-immunoregulatory role.On the one hand,α7nAChR is involved in the transmission of neurotransmitters,the conduction of excitatory signals and the maintenance of synaptic plasticity,which is of great significance for maintaining the normal and stable neurocognitive function.On the other hand,as an important part of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway,α7nAChR is involved in the regulation of physiological and pathological processes such as inflammatory response,oxidative stress,apoptosis and autophagy in the central system,and plays an immunomodulatory and neuroprotective role,thus being potential target for improving perioperative neurocognitive function.This article reviews the biological characteristics of α7nAChR and its effect on perioperative neurocognitive function,in order to provide ideas and methods for clinical improvement of perioperative neurocognitive function in surgical patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of cinobufacini on inhibiting colorectal cancer metastasis by regula-ting the polarization of M2 macrophages.Methods THP-1 was induced into M0 type macrophages.The condi-tioned medium of HCT116 cells was collected to stimulate M0 type macrophages.The polarization of M2 type mac-rophages was observed by flow cytometry,real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA experiments.The conditioned me-dium of M0 type macrophages and HCT116-Mφ cells was collected to stimulate HCT116 cells.The ability of migra-tion and invasion was observed by wound healing assay and Transwell assay.The effect of cinobufacini on the via-bility of HCT116 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay.The conditioned medium of HCT116 and HCT116+cinobufa-cini was collected to stimulate M0 type macrophages.The polarization of M2 type macrophages was observed by flow cytometry,real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA experiments.The conditioned media of HCT116-Mφ cells and(HCT116+cinobufacini)-Mφ cells were collected to stimulate HCT116 cells.The changes of migration and inva-sion ability were observed by wound healing assay and Transwell assay.Results After stimulation of M0 type mac-rophages in HCT116 cell conditioned medium,the morphology of M0 macrophages turned into fusiform cells,the proportion of CD11b+CD206+cells increased,and the expression of M2 macrophage markers IL-10 and TGF-β in-creased.The migration and invasion ability of HCT116 cells were significantly enhanced after stimulation in the conditioned medium of HCT1 16-Mφ cells.After the addition of cinobufacini,not only the polarization proportion of M2 macrophages decreased,but also the metastatic effect mediated by M2 macrophages was inhibited.Conclusion HCT116 cells can induce the polarization of M2 macrophages,while cinobufacini can inhibit the tumor metastasis mediated by M2 macrophages by inhibiting the polarization of M2 macrophages.

Objective To investigate the role of bufalin(BU)in inhibiting M2-type macrophage-mediated colorec-tal cancer metastasis.Methods Human acute leukemia mononuclear cells(THP-1)were differentiated into M0 macrophages using phorbol ester induction(PMA)for 48 hours.The M0 macrophages were then treated with IL-4 and IL-13 medium.Surface markers and morphological changes were observed through ELISA,morphology,and RT-qPCR experiments.RT-PCR and ELISA experiments were conducted to detect the surface markers TGF-β and IL-10 of M2 macrophages.The secretion level of IL-6 in the supernatant of M2 macrophages and colorectal cancer cells HCT116 was compared using ELISA.Additionally,the effect of conditioned medium on colorectal cancer cell HCT116 was assessed through Transwell,Wound healing,RT-qPCR,and Western blot experiments.Subsequent-ly,bufalin was added to the conditioned medium and the changes in AKT/PI3K protein,migration,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition ability in HCT116 were observed using Western blot,Transwell,Wound healing and RT-qPCR experiments.Results THP-1 were successfully differentiated into M2 macrophages.The activation of AKT/PI3K protein in HCT116 cells was induced by the secretion of IL-6 from M2 macrophages,which in turn promoted the migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition ability of the HCT116 cells.The migration and epithelial-mes-enchymal transition mediated by M2 macrophages in HCT116 cells were effectively inhibited by Bufalin.Conclu-sion The release of IL-6 from M2 macrophages activates the AKT/PI3K signaling pathway in colorectal cancer cells,thereby promoting their migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition capacity.Moreover,bufalin exhibits inhibitory effects on this effect.

Objective To screen the active components of total flavonoid extracts of Sarcandra glabra to promote megakaryocyte differentiation.Methods(1)A model of megakaryocyte differentiation disorder was established by co-culturing human megakaryocytic leukaemia cells(Dami)with human bone marrow stromal cells(HS-5)as an evaluation system,and the experimental groupings were as follows:the Dami group(Dami),the control group(Dami+HS-5),and the PMA group[Dami+HS-5+5 ng·mL-1 foprolol 12-tetradecanoate 13-acetate(PMA)],and model group[Dami+HS-5+1%rabbit anti-rat platelet serum(APS)+5 ng·mL-1 PMA]were cultured for 48 hours.The expressions of megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation surface marker molecules,CD41a and CD61 were detected by flow cytometry.(2)Forty-nine SD male rats were randomly divided into blank plasma group,15-minute group,30-minute group,60-minute group,90-minute group,120-minute group,and 240-minute group,with 7 rats in each group.The rats in each administration group were gavaged with 1.26 g·kg-1 of total flavonoids extracts of Sarcandra glabra,and blood was collected at six set time points(15,30,60,90,120,240 minutes)for the preparation of time-dependent serum-containing plasma of total flavonoids extracts of Sarcandra glabra.(3)Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS)was used to analyze the plasma of the time-dependent serum-containing plasma of the total flavonoids extracts of Sarcandra glabra,and the peak area was used to construct a matrix(X-matrix)of the amount of chemical composition change over time in the time-dependent serum-containing plasma of the total flavonoids extracts of Sarcandra glabra.The collected time-dependent serum-containing plasma of the total flavonoids extracts of Sarcandra glabra at six different time points was used to intervene in the model of megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation disorder,and the expression of cell surface molecules CD41a and CD61 was detected by flow cytometry to construct the matrix of effect of time-dependent serum-containing plasma of the total flavonoids extracts of Sarcandra glabra(Y-matrix).(4)After the data of X and Y matrices were standardized,partial least squares(PLS)was used to calculate and analyze the quantitative and qualitative effect relationship,and variable importance for projection(VIP)>1 was used as the threshold to screen the effect components related to the changes of cell surface molecules CD41a and CD61,and chemical composition identification,as the potential effector components in the total flavonoid extracts of Sarcandra glabra were used to promote the differentiation of megakaryocytes,and finally the regression evaluation system was used to verify the efficacy of its medicinal effect.Results(1)Compared with the Dami group,the expression level of CD41a on the surface of Dami cells in the control group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the expression levels of CD41a and CD61 on the surface of Dami cells in the PMA group were significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the PMA group,the expression levels of CD41a and CD61 on the surface of Dami cells in the model group were significantly reduced(P＜0.01).(2)Compared with the blank plasma group,the expression levels of the molecules CD41a and CD61 on the surface of Dami cells at each time point of 15,30,60,90,120,and 240 minutes were significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the expression levels of CD41a and CD61 were both highest in the 30-minute group.The potential effective components with VIP value greater than 1 were screened out in the positive and negative ion mode,and 540.3638@12.25 and 559.2991@11.53 were selected for pharmacodynamic verification.559.2991@11.53 was identified as daucosterol(Dau),540.3638@12.25 was identified as rosmarinic acid 4-O-β-D-glucoside(Ros).After Ros and Dau intervened in the megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation disorder model respectively,the expression levels of CD41a and CD61 on the surface of Dami cells in the low-,medium-and high-dose groups(40,60 and 80 μg·mL-1)of Ros and Dau were significantly increased compared with the model group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Ros and Dau may be the active components of the total flavonoids extracts of Sarcandra glabra to promote the differentiation of megakaryocytes.

Objective: The characteristics and differences of the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia were investigated to provide references and suggestions for the compilation of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
Methods: From the perspective of frame structure and main contents, the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia was compared.
Results: Each volume of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia had its general notice, including 34 to 48 items and 10 to 12 chapters based on different varieties collected in each volume. The Japanese Pharmacopoeia had 49 items not arranged by chapters. There are many differences on the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, such as the definitions and expressions of names, determination of appearance, revision rules, risk assessment and quality control conception. The framework of the general notice in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia was clear, the content was specific and the operation was friendly. The term description of the general notice in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia was concise, and some terms need to be implemented under the guidance of professional knowledge.
Conclusion: In light of comparative study, every volume’s general notice of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia has its own characteristics. By integrating advanced analytical technique, combining the requirements with laws and regulations, and optimizing content and terms, all volume’s general notice could be explored to be coordinated and unified.

This paper explained the etiology and mechanism of atrial fibrillation based on the theory of "deficiency qi stagnation" for directing the treatment. It is believed that “deficiency qi” is the root of atrial fibrillation， which can be divided into deficiency of pectoral qi in heart and lungs of the upper jiao， deficiency of center qi in spleen and stomach of the middle jiao， and deficiency of original qi in kidney of the lower jiao， and stagnation of stasis， phlegm dampness， cold dampness and other pathogenic qi as the pathological basis of atrial fibrillation， which lead to the development of atrial fibrillation by constraint to heat， or stagnation of cold and dampness， or pathogens stagnation in heart and lung. The therapeutic principles is to supplement deficiency and remove stagnation， and Qingliang Buqi Tiaomai Decoction （清凉补气调脉汤） is often used to supplement the center and boost qi， rectify qi and unblock vessels； Qingliang Huashi Tiaomai Decoction （清凉化湿调脉汤） is often used to strengthen the middle and remove phlegm， dry dampness and unblock vessels； Ziyang Wenhua Tiaomai Decoction （滋养温化调脉汤） is often used to bank up original qi， supplement yin and tonify yang， dissipate cold and unblock vessels.
