In recent years, endovascular therapy has become the most important progress in the field of the treatment of acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion. However, the vascular recanalization shown by imaging after endovascular treatment cannot fully translate into effective tissue reperfusion and functional outcome, a phenomenon known as "futile recanalization". Combined neuroprotective therapy after vascular recanalization is expected to reduce the occurrence of futile recanalization and improve the outcome of patients. This article briefly summarizes the main application progress of commonly used neuroprotective therapies in clinical practice (edaravone dexborneol, glucocorticoids, hypothermia, and remote ischemic conditioning). It explores the trend and direction of combining endovascular therapy and neuroprotective therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion, and provides further reference and suggestions for intervention measures after endovascular therapy.

Abnormal histone modifications, mainly including abnormal histone methylation and acetylation, play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. Recent studies have shown that abnormal histone modifications can promote the development of lymphoma by creating a tumor supportive immune microenvironment to promote tumor proliferation and immune escape. Therefore, drugs targeting histone modification gene abnormalities are currently a hot field of B-cell lymphoma. This article reviews the immune microenvironment of B-cell lymphoma, histone modification abnormalities targeting the immune microenvironment, immunomicrobial alterations, and advances in related targeted therapeutic agents.

After onset of acute ischemic stroke, nerve cells undergo ischemic necrosis, release endogenous damage related pattern molecules, which activate microglia and astrocytes, and lead to immune inflammatory responses. At the same time, it attracts and chemotactically guide peripheral blood immune cells to infiltrate brain tissue through the damaged blood-brain barrier, further exacerbating brain injury. Studies have shown that the peripheral blood immune cells are closely associated with the outcome of acute ischemic stroke. This article summarizes the mechanism of peripheral immune cells in ischemic brain injury, their correlation with clinical outcome, and possible intervention measures.

Objective:To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of miR-15a-5p regulation Wnt signaling pathway in PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis.Methods:The PQ-induced 16HBE cell model was constructed, high-throughput miRNA chip and RT-qPCR were used to screen for miR-15a-5p with significant differences. The experimental groups were as follows: NC group (normal control);no special treatment; PQ group: 50 μmol/L PQ treated cells for 72 h; miR-15a-5p group: 16HBE stable cell lines transfected with miR-15a-5p overexpressing lentivirus; miR-15a-5p+PQ group: Stable cell lines were treated with 50 μmol/L PQ for 72 h. The expression of Wnt pathway-related genes Wnt3α and β-catenin, fibroblast marker genes Collagen I, Vimentin and α SMA, epithelial marker genes Occludin and CK18 were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The mice model of PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis was constructed, and the protein expression and lung tissue injury were detected by Western blot, HE staining and immunohistochemistry. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and independent sample t-test was used to analyze the data between the two groups. Results:The expressions of Wnt3α, β-catenin, fibroblast marker genes Collagen I, Vimentin and α SMA significantly up-regulated in cell injury models ( P<0.05), the epithelial cell marker genes Occludin and CK18 significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05), overexpression of miR-15a-5p could inhibit the expression of Wnt3α and alleviated the EMT induced by PQ. In animal models, Wnt3α, β-catenin, fibroblast marker genes Collagen I, Vimentin and α SMA significantly increased ( P<0.01), the structure of lung tissue was disordered and fibrosis occurred, overexpression of miR-15a-5p inhibited the expression of Wnt3α protein ( P<0.05) and ameliorated lung tissue injury. Conclusions:miR-15a-5p ameliorates PQ-induced lung injury by modulating the Wnt3α/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the development of pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the protective mechanism of Xuebijing injection (referred to as Xuebijing) on sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:① Animal experiments: 100 mice were randomly(random number) divided into 4 groups, including sham operation (Sham) group, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, CLP+low-dose Xuebijing (L-XBJ) group, and CLP+high-dose Xuebijing (H-XBJ) group. The survival rate, lung histological changes, lung wet/dry (W/D) ratio, cell count and protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF), inflammatory factors levels in serum, oxidative stress indicators, cell apoptosis, and key proteins of HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway were measured. ② Cell experiments: Mouse alveolar macrophages (MH-S) were cultured in vitro and divided into 6 groups, including control (Con) group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, LPS+L-XBJ group, and LPS+H-XBJ group, LPS+H-XBJ+ dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG, HIF-1α activator) group, LPS+H-XBJ+ 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2, HIF-1α inhibitor) group. The effects of Xuebijing on inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis and their relationship with HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway were detected.Results:Xuebijing increased the survival rate of mice with sepsis-associated ARDS, relieved lung tissue damage [lung injury score: CLP group (8.778±0.588), CLP+L-XBJ group (5.833±0.310), and CLP+H-XBJ group (4.750±0.246)], alleviated lung W/D ratio, and decreased pneumonia cell infiltration and protein exudation (all P<0.05). Additionally, Xuebijing treatment also diminished the expression of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) depletion, and cell apoptosis in LPS-induced MH-S cells and CLP-induced sepsis-associated ARDS mice (all P<0.05). Furthermore, mechanistic investigation further clarified the effects of Xuebijing on inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis through the HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. Conclusions:Xuebijing can exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic effects by suppressing the HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby conferring protection against sepsis-associated ARDS.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)combined with internal limiting membrane(ILM)flap filling preserving subretinal fluid(SRF)in treatment of macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD)in patients with high myopia.Methods A retrospective case study was conducted.Thirty patients with high myopia MHRD(total of 32 eyes)with posterior staphyloma and chorioretinal atrophy from department of ophthalmology,Union Hospital,Tongji Medical Col-lege,Huazhong University of Science and Technology between August 2020 and June 2023 were included in the study.The mean axial length was(30.32±1.71)mm.All patients underwent PPV,SRF preservation,and macular hole(MH)nasal flap creation(utilizing the optic disc as a support to fix the detached retina).The ILM flap was inverted to fill MH,and the surgery ended with silicone oil tamponade.The patients were observed for SRF absorption,retinal reattachment,MH closure,and visual acuity changes in the follow-up.Results OCT examination within 1 week after the operation showed that 25 eyes had MH closure and SRF absorption,6 eyes had MH closure with residual SRF,and 1 eye had MH non-closure.During the follow-up period,residual SRF in 7 eyes was fully absorbed within 1 year(5 cases),18 months(1 case),and 21 months(1 case)after the operation.All 32 eyes had retinal reattachment after a single silicone oil removal,and the retinal reattachment rate was 100％.Among the 32 eyes,90.62％(29/32)had MH type Ⅰ closure,including 22 eyes with U-shaped closure,5 eyes with V-shaped closure,and 2 eyes with W-shaped transformation into U-shaped scar closure;9.38％(3/32)had MH type Ⅱ(W-shaped)closure.There was an im-provement in the postoperative best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA,logMAR)from(1.90±0.34)to(1.14±0.37),with a statis-tically significant difference(t=11.11,P＜0.01).Conclusion In the presence of residual SRF,the ILM flap inversion filling technique achieves MH closure successfully.The combination of PPV,SRF preservation,ILM flap filling,and silicone oil tam-ponade provides a preferred treatment for highly myopic MHRD with long eye axis and posterior staphyloma.

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cause of cyanotic congenital heart disease,and it is related with the high incidence of pulmonary regurgitation in repaired tetralogy of Fallot that usually requires pulmonary valve replacement.Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement can replace traditional surgery in treating pulmonary regurgitation,which can make up for the shortcoming of large injury.Echocardiography is important in assessing ventricular function,however,conventional echocardiographic parameters have several limitations.This study reviewed the application of two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging in evaluating the right and left ventricular function after transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in pulmonary valve regurgitation after repaired tetralogy of Fallot.

Objective:Efficacy and safety analysis of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) in promoting hematopoietic recovery after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with lymphoma.Methods:A total of 149 patients after auto-HSCT in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were enrolled in this study from April 2016 to December 2021. There were 75 cases in the PEG-rhG-CSF group who were given a single subcutaneous dose of 100 μg/kg on the first day and +8 d, while 74 cases in the rhG-CSF group were given a dose of 5-10 μg·kg -1·d -1 by subcutaneous injection from +1d continuing to an absolute value of neutrophil (ANC) of more than 1.5×10 9/L. Results:①The time of grade 3/4 agranulocytosis and neutrophil implantation in the PEG-rhG-CSF group were significantly different from that in rhG-CSF group ( P=0.010, 0.030, 0.007) . There were no significant differences in the platelet implantation time, anemia incidence and duration, and platelet and red blood cell infusion within 1 month after transplantation between groups. ②The agranulocytosis with fever incidence in PEG-rhG-CSF group was similar to that in rhG-CSF group (84.0% vs 82.4% , P=0.798) , but the duration was shorter in the PEG-rhG-CSF group (4.0 d vs 5.5 d, P=0.005) . ③The incidence of infection in the PEG-rhG-CSF and the rhG-CSF groups were 22.7% (17/75) and 31.1% (23/74) , respectively ( P=0.247) , and the bloodstream infection incidence were 5.3% (4/75) and 9.5% (7/74) , respectively ( P=0.336) . ④The PEG-rhG-CSF group and rhG-CSF group’s mean length of hospital stay were 31.5 (23-43) days and 37 (25-75) days, respectively ( P<0.001) . ⑤The PEG-rhG-CSF group and rhG-CSF group’s disease-free survival rates were (96.4±2.5) % and (94.7±2.6) % ( P=0.638) , respectively, and the OS rates were 100.0% and (98.6±1.3) % ( P=0.312) , respectively. Conclusion:PEG-rhG-CSF application after auto-HSCT in patients with lymphoma can promote hematopoietic granulocyte reconstruction and shorten hospital stay, but has no significant effect on the incidence of infection, disease-free survival, and overall survival after transplantation.

Objective:To evaluate the possible mediation effect of smoking and healthy diet score on the association between educational level and the risk of lung cancer incidence.Methods:After excluding individuals with missing educational levels and cancer information at baseline, 446?772 participants in the UK Biobank (UKB) prospective cohort study were included. Cox regression models were used to investigate the associations of educational level and smoking and healthy diet score with the incidence of lung cancer. Mediating effect analysis was conducted to analyze the mediating effect of smoking and healthy diet score on the correlation between educational level and lung cancer.Results:During a median follow-up of 7.13 years, 1?994 new- onset lung cancer cases were observed. Per 1 standard deviation (5 years) increase in educational level was associated with a 12% lower risk of lung cancer ( HR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.84-0.92). The corresponding level 1-5 in the International Standard Classification for Education (ISCED) were mapped to UKB self‐report highest qualification to estimate the educational level. A higher rank means a higher educational level. Compared with level ISCED-1, the HR(95% CI) of level ISCED-2, ISCED-3, ISCED-4 and ISCED-5 were respectively 0.83 (0.72-0.94), 0.67 (0.53-0.85), 0.76 (0.65-0.89) and 0.72 (0.64-0.80) for lung cancer. Education years were negatively correlated with smoking, with β coefficients (95% CI) being -0.079 (-0.081- -0.077), but positively correlated with healthy diet score ( β=0.042, 95% CI: 0.039-0.045). Analysis of mediating effect indicated that the association of educational level with lung cancer risk was mediated by smoking and healthy diet score, the proportions of mediating effect were 38.952% (95% CI: 31.802%-51.659%) and 1.784% (95% CI: 0.405%-3.713%), respectively. Conclusion:Smoking and healthy diet score might mediate the effect of educational level on the incidence of lung cancer, indicating that improving the level of education can reduce the risk of lung cancer by changing lifestyles such as smoking and diet.
