Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To evaluate the complications of complex intracranial aneurysms after intervention with flow-diverter (FD) devices.Methods:Sixty patients with complex intracranial aneurysms accepted FD devices in Department of Cerebrovascular Diseases, Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University from July 2018 to June 2021 were chosen. Clinical and imaging data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed, and complications were recorded: procedure-related adverse events, early postprocedural complications, complications during follow-up, and covered branch occlusion.Results:A total of 61 FD devices (47 Pipeline Flex, 10 Tubridge, 4 Surpass Streamline) were implanted in 60 patients. Incidence of procedure-related adverse events was 8.3% (5/60), including 3 with incomplete stent apposition, 1 with intraoperative bleeding, 1 with aneurysm neck not covered by stent; incidence of early postprocedural complications was 6.7% (4/60), including 3 with hemorrhagic complication and 1 with ischemic complication. DSA follow-up ([22.7±16.8] months) was completed in 54 patients; aneurysm healed rate was 83.3% (45/54). First DSA follow-up 6 months after surgery showed that in-stent restenosis was 7.4% (4/54), of which 2 deteriorated to parent vessel occlusion at 2- and 3-year after procedure, respectively. A total of 78 branch arteries were covered by FD devices, and only 1 (1.3%, 1/78) demonstrated branch artery occlusion at last follow-up, without clinical symptoms.Conclusion:The complications of complex intracranial aneurysms after intervention with FD devices should be recognized; incomplete stent apposition is the main procedure-related adverse event, and hemorrhagic complication mainly appear in the early postprocedural period; in-stent restenosis should be vigilant during follow-up.

Objective:To investigate the regulation of Parkin-dependent mitophagy mediated by calcyclin-binding protein and Siah-1 interacting protein (CacyBP/SIP) on apoptosis and cycle of dopaminergic (DA) neurons.Methods:SH-SY5Y cells were divided into model group, control group and CacyBP/SIP group; cells in the model group were treated with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP +, 0.5 mmol/L) for 24 h, and cells in the control group and CacyBP/SIP group were transfected with empty lentivirus or CacyBP/SIP-sgRNA lentivirus on the basis of MMP +(0.5 mmol/L) treatment for 24 h, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of CacyBP/SIP, microtubule-associated protein l light chain 3 (LC3), lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2), phosphatase and tensin homolog ten induced kinase 1 (Pink1), Parkin, P53, Bcl-2, and Bax; flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis and cycle; immunofluorescent single staining was used to detect the expressions of LC3 and LAMP2; immunofluorescent double staining was used to detect the coexpressions of CacyBP/SIP and Parkin. Results:As compared with the model group and control group, the CacyBP/SIP group had significant reduction in protein expressions of CacyBP/SIP, LAMP2, Pink1, and Parkin, LC3-II/I ratio, immunofluorescent staining intensities of LC3-II and LAMP2, and Bcl-2 protein expressions ( P<0.05). As compared with the model group and control group, the CacyBP/SIP group had significantly increased Bax protein expression, significantly decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, significantly increased apoptosis rate, significantly increased P53 protein expression, significantly increased proportion of cells at G1 phase, and significantly decreased immunofluorescent intensity of CacyBP/SIP and Parkin co-expressions ( P<0.05). Conclusion:After knocking out CacyBP/SIP gene, the decrease of Parkin protein leads to cell cycle being arrested at G1 stage, and mediates the decrease of Parkin-dependent mitochondrial autophagy, thereby leading to increased cell apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the correlation and predictive value of serum uric acid (SUA) and short-term clinical outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS received intravenous thrombolysis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kangda College of Nanjing Medical University from July 1, 2018 to March 31, 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. Fasting SUA, blood glucose and blood lipids were measured the next morning after admission. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the functional outcome at discharge. 0-2 points were defined as good outcome, and 3-6 points were defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor short-term outcome in patients with AIS after intravenous thrombolysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of SUA for poor short-term outcome after intravenous thrombolysis. Results:A total of 291 patients were enrolled during the study. Among them, 197 (67.70%) were male, aged 65.02±11.56 years. The median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 5 (interquartile range 3-11), and the SUA was 322.06±90.54 μmol/L. Univariate analysis showed that the age, proportions of patients with atrial fibrillation and cardiogenic embolism, baseline fasting blood glucose and NIHSS scores in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in the good outcome group, while the SUA after intravenous thrombolysis was significantly lower than that in the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that higher SUA was independently associated with the good outcomes (odds ratio [ OR] 0.986, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.985-0.991; P<0.01), while older age ( OR 1.047, 95% CI 1.021-1.075; P<0.01) and baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.155, 95% CI 1.063-1.254; P<0.01) were independently associated with the poor outcomes. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of poor outcome predicted by SUA was 0.642 (95% CI 0.552-0.732; P=0.002), the best cutoff value was 307.45 μmol/L, and the sensitivity and specificity of prediction were 57.7% and 68.0% respectively. Conclusion:Higher SUA is associated with the short-term outcome of patients with AIS after intravenous thrombolytic therapy, but its predictive value of the outcomes is limited.

Objective:To analyze the patterns of antibacterial agents in Chinese children surveyed by the China multi-center monitoring network for the application of antibacterial agents in children and neonates in 2019 by using World Health Organization (WHO) Access, Watch, Reserve and Not-recommended (AWaRe) and typical anatomical/therapeutic/chemical (ATC) in this study.Methods:The cross-sectional method was adopted.A multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted on one day from September to December 2019.The information of all inpatients taking antibiotics was uploaded to the network-based data collection system (https: //garpec-31.mobilemd.cn/login.aspx? relogin=true). This study covered 13 hospitals from 10 provinces and cities in China.All hospitalized children in the Respiratory Department, Infectious Disease Department, General Surgery Department, Pediatric Intensive Care Units, Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Neonatology joined in this survey.The clinically used antibacterial agents were classified by AWaRe and ATC, and the AWaRe and ATC distributions of antibacterial agents prescribed for Chinese children and neonates were described.Results:Of the 2 644 antibiotic prescriptions included from 13 hospitals, 2 134 (80.71%) were for children and 510 (19.29%) were for neonates.Of all antibiotic prescriptions, there were 368 (13.92%) Access antibiotics prescriptions, 1 973 (74.62%) Watch prescriptions, 60 (2.27%) Reserve prescriptions and 243 (9.19%) Not-recommended prescriptions.The top-five antibiotics prescribed for children and neonates were third-generation cephalosporins (1 056, 39.94%), macrolides (492, 18.61%), carbapenems (275, 10.40%), beta lactam-beta lactamase inhibitors (246, 9.30%), and second-generation cephalosporins (136, 5.14%). The use ratios of Access, Watch, Reserve and Not-recommended antibiotics in each center ranged from 0 to 30.00%, 36.67% to 97.20%, 0 to 17.02% and 0 to 33.33%, respectively.In 1 360 antibiotic prescriptions for children and neonates with pneumonia, there were 152 (11.18%) Access antibiotics, 1 051 (77.28%) Watch antibiotics, 37 (2.72%) Reserve antibiotics, and 120 (8.82%) Not-recommended antibiotics.The top-five antibiotics prescribed for children with pneumonia were third-generation cephalosporins (522, 38.38%), macrolides (388, 28.53%), beta lactam-beta lactamase inhibitors (141, 10.37%), carbapenems (117, 8.6%) and penicillins (49, 3.60%).Conclusions:Watch antibiotics and broad spectrum antibiotics such as third-generation cephalosporins and macrolides prone to induce resistance are the main antibacterial agents used in Chinese children and neonates with pneumonia.Broad-spectrum antibiotics may be overused in Chinese children and neonates.

Recent studies have shown that acute blood glucose elevation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) suggests a poor prognosis. To investigate the effect of fasting blood glucose (FBG) on the risk of heart failure (HF) and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in non-diabetic patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute STEMI, we retrospectively recruited consecutive non-diabetic patients who underwent primary PCI for STEMI in our hospital from February 2003 to March 2015. The patients were divided into two groups according to the FBG level. A total of 623 patients were recruited with an age of 61.3 ± 12.9 years, of whom 514 (82.5%) were male. The HF risk (odds ratio 3.401, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.144-5.395, P < 0.001) was significantly increased in patients with elevated FBG than those with normal FBG. Elevated FBG was also independently related to LVSD (β 1.513, 95%CI 1.282-1.785, P < 0.001) in a multiple logistics regression analysis. In conclusion, elevated FBG was independently associated with 30-day HF and LVSD risk in non-diabetic patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(5):657-660
Objective:
To investigate the social support of medical students during the outbreak of COVID-19 and its mediating effect on the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression with anxiety.
Methods:
A total of 5 593 medical students were enrolled, and Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and 7-tiem Generalize Anxiety Disorder Scale were used to measure.
Results:
The social support score of SSRS of male students was lower than that of female students (t=-4.36, P<0.05) and juniors and seniors scored lower than other grades(F=4.84, P<0.05). Epidemic exposure proportion was positively correlated with both depressive proportionand anxiety proportion(r=0.05, 0.06, P<0.01), while epidemic exposure and depressive proportion and anxiety proportion were negatively correlated with social support score(r=-0.05, -0.25, -0.19, P<0.01). After controlling for gender and grade, the mediating effect of social support in the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression accounted for 26.6% of the total effect, and the mediating effect of subjective support and supportive utilization was 32.3% and 25.7% respectively. After controlling for gender and grade, the mediating effect of social support in the correlation between epidemic exposure and depression accounted for 20.0% of the total effect, and the mediating effect of subjective support and supportive utilization was 15.9% and 12.2% respectively.
Conclusion
Social support has partially mediating effect in the correlation between epidemic exposure with depression and anxiety.
