Objective To investigate the factors influencing the prognosis of complex intracranial aneurysms treated with pipeline flow-directed device(PED)and to develop a nomogram prediction model.Methods The clinical data of a total of 98 patients with complex intracranial aneurysm,who were admitted to the Anyue County People's Hospital or the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College of China from January 2021 to April 2023 to receive PED treatment,were retrospectively analyzed.The influencing factors that might affect the prognosis of patients with complex intracranial aneurysm were collected.According to the modified Rankin Scale(mRS)score,the patients were divided into good prognosis group(being defined as mRS ≤2 points)and poor prognosis group(being defined as mRS＞2 points).The clinical data were compared between the two groups,and a nomogram model was established and validated.Results In the 98 patients,poor prognosis was seen in 10(10.20％).The differences in age,history of hypertension,history of diabetes mellitus,clopidogrel resistance,Fisher classification,repeated aneurysm rupture,aneurysm location,aneurysm size,aneurysm neck,multiple lesions,and Hunt-Hess grade on admission between good prognosis group and poor prognosis group were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that history of hypertension,clopidogrel resistance,repeated aneurysm rupture,aneurysm location,multiple lesions,and Hunt-Hess grade were the independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients with complex intracranial aneurysm after receiving PED treatment.The AUC of the nomogram model in predicting the prognosis of PED for complex intracranial aneurysms was 0.849(95％CI=0.758-0.939).The predicted curves of the model group and validation group were basically fitted to the standard curves.The results of the decision curve analysis showed that the net benefit to patients was greater than 0 when the probability threshold of the nomogram model for predicting a poor prognosis of PED for complex intracranial aneurysms was 0.10-0.90.Conclusion The factors causing poor prognosis of PED for complex intracranial aneurysms mainly include history of hypertension,clopidogrel resistance,repeated aneurysm rupture,etc.The nomogram model established in this study can predict the risk of poor prognosis in patients with complicated intracranial aneurysm after receiving PED treatment.

Stem cell research has become a frontier in the field of life sciences, and provides an ideal model for exploring developmental biology problems such as embryogenesis, histiocytosis, and gene expression regulation, as well as opens up new doors for clinical tissue defective and inheritance diseases. Among them, menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) are characterized by wide source, multi-directional differentiation potential, low immune rejection characteristics. Thus, MenSCs can achieve individual treatment and have the most advantage of the clinical application. The central nervous system, including brain and spinal cord, is susceptible to injury. And lethality and morbidity of them tops the list of all types of trauma. Compared to peripheral nervous system, recovery of central nervous system after damage remains extremely hard. However, the treatment of stem cells, especially MenSCs, is expected to solve this problem. Therefore, biological characteristics of MenSCs and their treatment in the respect of central nervous system diseases have been reviewed at home and abroad in recent years, so as to provide reference for the treatment of central nervous system diseases.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of immediate ureterovesical reimplantation after ureteral rupture during laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods From August 2010 to December 2015, 5 cases of ureteral rupture during the operation of laparoscopic hysterectomy were treated with immediate ureterovesical reimplantation under laparoscopy. Results All operations were successfully performed without transversion to open surgery. No patients with urinary leakage occurred. The mean follow-up were 21 months (range 3-60 months) . No cases with ureteral stricture were observed. Slight urine reflux was found in two patients, of whom obvious hydronephrosis and renal damage were not found. Conclusion Immediate ureterovesical reimplantation under laparoscopy is a feasible, safe and minimal invasive method for treatment of ureteral ruputure during laparoscopic hysterectomy.

AIM:To investigate the effects and mechanisms of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor-2 (S1P2R) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI).METHODS:ALI model was induced by intratracheal ad-ministration of LPS in both wild-type mice and S1P2R-deficient mice.The pathological changes in the lung tissues were ob-served, and the protein concentration , total cell number, neutrophil ratio, TNF-αlevel and IL-6 level were determined in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) 24 h after LPS injection.In order to investigate the mechanisms of S1P2R in LPS-induced ALI, 10 min before LPS injection, both wild-type mice and S1P2R-deficient mice were injected with nitric oxide synthase inhibitor by tail vein injection , the pathological changes of the lung tissues were observed , and the protein concen-tration and total cell number in BALF were determined 12 h after LPS injection .RESULTS: Compared with wild-type mice, S1P2R-deficient mice showed more severe LPS-induced ALI, and the protein concentration , neutrophils and inflam-matory cytokines in BALF were significantly increased in S1P2R-deficient mice.Administration of nitric oxide synthase in-hibitor Nω-L-nitro-arginine methyl ester protected S1P2R-deficient mice from aggravation of ALI .CONCLUSION:S1P2R mediates the protection from LPS-induced ALI possibly through inhibiting nitric oxide synthase .

BACKGROUND:Most of lumbar degenerative diseases, such as lumbar instability, lumbar disc herniation and discogenic lumbago, need lumbar spinal fusion for the spine stability, but the choice of internal fixation approaches is controversial.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effectiveness between lateral lumbar interbody fusion with single cage and single cage combined with unilateral pedicle screw fixation for the 4th and 5th single-level lumbar degenerative disease.
METHODS:The clinical data of patients with single-level lumbar degenerative diseases (L4 and L5) undergoing lateral lumbar interbody fusion with single cage in 30 cases (experimental group) and single cage combined with unilateral pedicle screw fixation in 45 cases (control group) were analyzed retrospectively, and the curative effects were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients in the two groups were fol owed up for 13 months on average (ranged from 10 to 37 months). The incisions in the two groups were stage I healing. One case in the experimental group occurred cage displacement, but no obvious syndromes were detected. No significant difference in the effective rate after operation, hospital stay, and volume of drainage was detected (P>0.05). The operative time and bleeding volume in experimental group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). ODI and JOA scores were significantly improved after treatment when compared with preoperative ones in the two groups (P<0.05), but no significant difference was visible between the two groups (P>0.05). The effectiveness of lateral lumbar interbody fusion with single cage and single cage combined with unilateral pedicle screw fixation for single-level degenerative lumbar diseases was similar. However, the former has the advantages of less invasion and quick recovery.

Objective Inflammatory response is an important part in pathological change of traumatic arthritis(TA).Studies show that hydrogen has antioxidate and anti-inflammatory properties, however, there are few reports on treating TA with it.So this research aimed to investigate curative effects of curing traumatic arthritis in rabbits with intraperitoneal injection of saturated hydrogen saline solution . Methods A total of 26 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three groups:normal control group (n=6), model experimental group (n=10), and model control group (n=10).Rabbits in model experimental group were intraperitoneally injected with 8 ml /kg saturated hy-drogen saline, once every three day;equivalent saline was injected in rabbits of model control group;while no treatment was done on normal control group.The treatment lasted for 6 weeks.Before and after the treatment, the serum and joint fluid of the rabbits in the three groups were respectively taken to determine the content of nitric oxide (NO) and hyaluronic acid (HA), which was used to evaluate therapeutic effect in combination with the behavioral performance of the rabbits . Results Significant improvement in behavior was found in model ex-perimental group after the treatment (P<0.05).No statistical differences were found in knee swelling scores of the three groupsbefore the treatment(P>0.05), but model experimental group was superior to model control group in knee swelling scores after the treatment (P<0.05).The contents of NO both in serum ([79.58 ±13.46] vs [76.23 ±12.15]) and joint fluid ([89.45 ±14.98] vs [80.36 ±12.78]) in two model groups increased before the treatment, which was of statistical difference (P<0.05), but the NO content decreased dramatically in model experimental group after the treatment ([436.82 ±60.91] vs [340.21 ±40.57],P<0.05), and no obvious changes were observed in model control group (P>0.05).The content of serum HA in model experimental group declined dramatically (P<0.05) and the joint fluid increased after the treatment ([1.72 ±0.37] vs [2.47 ±0.62],P<0.05), while no significant changes were found in model control group before and after the treatment. Conclusion The intraperitoneal injec-tion of saturated hydrogen saline may be effective in the treatment of trau-matic arthritis.

This study examined the association of polymorphisms in angiotensin II receptor genes (AT (1) R and AT (2) R) with the risk for aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) in a Chinese Han population. Four polymorphisms including rs5182 (573T/C) in exon 4, rs5186 (1166A/C) in 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) in AT (1) R gene and rs5194 (2274G/A) in 3'-UTR, rs1403543 (1675G/A) in intron 1 in AT (2) R gene were detected in 148 APA patients and 192 normal subjects (serving as control) by using a MGB-Taqman probe. The distribution of genotypes of each locus was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) in the APA and control groups (P>0.05). The allele A frequency at rs5194 was significantly higher in the APA group (0.49) than in the control group (0.35) (χ (2)=12.08, P=0.001). Subjects with homozygotic genotype AA and heterozygotic genotype GA were at an increased risk for APA as compared to those with GG genotype (OR=2.66, 95% CI=1.45-4.87; OR=1.67, 95% CI=1.02-2.74). Furthermore, rs5194 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at AT (2) R gene was significantly associated with APA in additive (OR=1.64, 95% CI=1.21-2.20, P=0.001), dominant (OR=1.94, 95% CI=1.23-3.06, P=0.003), and recessive model (OR=2.01, 95% CI=1.17-3.45, P=0.01). It was concluded that rs5194 polymorphism at AT (2) R gene was associated with the risk for APA, which may constitute a genetic marker of APA.
