The relationship between statin therapy and clinical outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains uncertain. Therefore, we performed a post-hoc analysis of the third intensive care bundle with blood pressure reduction in acute cerebral haemorrhage trial study to evaluate the associations of pre-ICH and post-ICH statin use with clinical outcomes. The primary outcome was death or dependency (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 3–6) at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included death, dependency, hematoma expansion, serious adverse events (SAEs), and cerebral hemorrhagic events. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. Analysis was performed using generalized linear mixed model. We further examined whether post-ICH statin therapy modified outcomes within the care bundle group. Overall, a total of 7035 patients were included in the study. Pre-ICH (aOR 0.93, 95% CI 0.61–1.42) or post-ICH statin use (aOR 0.97, 95% CI 0.72–1.29) was not associated with death or dependency. However, pre-ICH statin use was associated with lower 6-month mortality (aOR 0.46, 95% CI 0.26–0.80) and a reduced incidence of cerebral hemorrhage (aOR 0.45, 95% CI 0.21–0.97). In stratified analyses, post-ICH statin use was associated with lower odds of 6-month mortality or disability among care bundle recipients (aOR 0.66, 95% CI 0.44–0.99; P = 0.046), with significant effect modification by intervention allocation (P for interaction = 0.019). In summary, statin therapy before or after ICH onset appeared to be safe, without increased risk of SAEs and hematoma expansion. Besides, among patients receiving the care bundle intervention, post-ICH statin use showed a potential association with improved functional outcomes. These exploratory findings require confirmation in future studies.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, diagnosis and treatment of patients with central nervous system (CNS)-intravascular lymphoma (IVL), and review the related literature.Methods:On December 19, 2021, a case of a 54 year-old male patient with CNS-IVL admitted to Neurosurgery Department of Chengdu Second People′s Hospital was selected as the study subject. A retrospective analysis method was used to analyze the patient′s clinical data such as medical history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging examinations, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) results. Diagnose and treatment of this patient based on clinical manifestations and related examination results. China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and PubMed database were searched using " intravascular lymphoma", " diffuse large B-cell lymphoma", " intraspinal hemorrhage", " central nervous system", " spinal cord" as Chinese and English keywords. Diagnosis and treatment data of CNS-IVL involving spinal cord was summarized. The time for literature retrieval was from inception of the database to March 1, 2022. Procedure followed in this study was in line with requirements of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki revised in 2013, and informed consent of clinical research was signed with the patient and his family members. Results:① This patient was admitted due to " numbness and weakness in the left upper limb for 10 d". Previous history of the patient included tuberculous meningitis, viral meningitis, liver dysfunction, severe pneumonia and erythroderma. ② At the time of admission, blood routine test results of this patient showed that white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage, red blood cell count, hemoglobin (Hb) value, platelet count were 5.4 × 10 9/L, 72.5%, 3.02×10 12/L, 87 g/L, 49 × 10 9/L, respectively. Abdominal color Doppler ultrasound shows mild enlargement of the spleen. Results of cranial MRI, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) showed lacunar cerebral infarction and ischemic focus in the bilateral frontal lobe, left parietal lobe, basal ganglia, and cerebral atrophy, demyelination of white matter. Intracranial artery runs and collateral circulation is normal. A few micro hemorrhage foci were near the right temporal lobe and lateral ventricles. MRI results of spine showed significant swelling of the cervical spinal cord with abnormal signals, indicating consideration of intramedullary hemorrhage. This patient underwent a intramedullary lesion resection, lamina reduction and internal fixation of cervical spine through whole lamina approach. Biopsy of pathological tissue after operation showed that degenerated and necrotic tissue, accompanied by hemorrhage, lymphoma cells infiltrated into the vascular cavity, and some of them gathered around the vascular wall and in blood clots. Immunohistochemical results showed that B cell antigens CD20 (+ ), CD79a (+ ), paired box protein (PAX)-5 (+ ), and vascular endothelial CD34 (+ ). Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER) in situ hybridization was positive with about 90%. ③ According to clinical features and related examination result, the final diagnosis was CNS-IVL. Due to severe multisystem damage in medical history, the patient did not receive specialized treatment, such as chemotherapy. Due to the deterioration of CNS-IVL condition, the patient died on January 14, 2022. ④ According to the literature retrieval strategy set in this study, a total of 10 articles were included, involving 11 patients with CNS-IVL involving spinal cord included this case in this study. CNS-IVL patients involving the spinal cord in this group are easily misdiagnosed as myelitis or spinal cord infarction in the early stage. Among them, 3 cases were confirmed by lesion biopsy, 4 cases were confirmed by skin biopsy, and 4 cases were confirmed by autopsy. Improving the early diagnosis rate and followed by either a regimen with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHOP) or R-CHOP (rituximab+ CHOP) will be beneficial for improving the prognosis of patients. Conclusions:CNS-IVL with meningitis onset and progressive involvement of the spinal cord is relatively rare. Patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive cerebrospinal fluid should be test for CNS-IVL.

According to the American Heart Association, ischemic stroke is the second leading cause of death globally and is responsible for approximately 11% of deaths. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the standard treatment for moderate or severe extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) stenoses. With the development of materials and technology in neurointervention, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have proposed that carotid artery stenting (CAS) can serve as an alternative treatment for CEA. As CAS is widely used worldwide, comorbidities, especially persistent hemodynamic depression (PHD) and stroke, have attracted public attention. In this review, we summarized the current advances in PHD after CAS. A better understanding of CAS-related PHD may inspire the design of potential prognostic and therapeutic tools.

Objective: To explore the potential pathogenicity of epistaxis in routine diagnosis and treatment. Methods: The data of a patient with recurrent epistaxis and fever for more than 5 months were observed. Li Mou, a 21-year-old male patient complained epistaxis after digging his nose and was relieved after self-packing treatment before May. Due to the habit of blowing nose, digging his nose and staying up late in nights for playing games, he did not paid attention to his recurrent epistaxis 3 ~ 5 times a month. He had fever in January and his blood routine examination showed mild anemia. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia was considered after screening for blood system disorders. There was no remission after shock treatment with prednisone tablets, and the degree of anemia increased gradually. Frequent epistaxis did not improve after repeated nasal endoscopy, tamponade, cauterization and other treatment. He was admitted to hospital with severe anemia. After admission, the patient was examined for anemia, pale eyelid and conjunctiva, and it was fixed with oil gauze in both nasal cavities. A systolic murmur was heard in the apical region and the second auscultation area of aortic valve; the respiratory sounds of both lungs were rough, and there were no dry and wet rales. The abdomen was soft, without tenderness, rebound pain and muscle tension; there was no edema in both lower limbs. Two independent blood cultures were examined after admission, which showed defective hypoxic bacteria. Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound showed valve vegetations, perforation and reflux. Diagnosis of infective endocarditis caused by defective hypoxic bacteria was made after examination. Antibiotics combined with valve replacement surgery were performed for the treatment. Results: After one year follow-up, the symptoms of anemia and epistaxis were reveled. Conclusion: Routine diagnosis and treatment of epistaxis may be a potential risk factor for infective endocarditis; the presence of infective endocarditis and bacteremia may increase the frequency of epistaxis, resulting in multiple visits to hospital for treatment of epistaxis; in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, it is necessary to screen infective endocarditis to rule out the adequate diagnosis.

Background: Glioma is a prevalent disease of the central nervous system with a high incidence and mortality rate. Many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been determined to be critical regulators of glioma oncogenesis. However, the function and mechanism of LINC00963 in glioma have not been fully elucidated. Methods: The expression level of RNA was determined by qRT-PCR, and the protein level was determined by Western blot analysis. A luciferase activity assay was conducted to verify the interaction between miRNA and lncRNA or the target gene. The proliferation, cell cycle distribution, invasion, and migration were evaluated by MTT, EdU, flow cytometry, wound-healing and Transwell invasion assays, respectively. In vivo tumor growth was evaluated in a xenograft nude mouse model. Results: We found that LINC00963 was upregulated in glioma cells and tissues and associated with the poor prognosis of patients with glioma. Ectopic expression of LINC00963 promoted cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, and invasion in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. Mechanistically, the results of luciferase activity and RNA pulldown assays validated that LINC00963 could act as a molecular sponge of miR-506. Reciprocal repression was found between LINC00963 and miR-506. In addition, BCAT1 was identified as a target of miR-506, and both the mRNA and protein levels of BCAT1 were reduced by miR-506. In tumor tissues, the expression of BCAT1 was negatively and positively correlated with miR-506 and LINC00963 expression, respectively. The reintroduction of BCAT1 in glioma cells abolished the tumor suppressive function of miR-506 by promoting cell viability and motility. The upregulated LINC00963 and BCAT1 were associated with the aggressive phenotypes of tumors. Conclusion: Our data revealed that LINC00963 confers oncogenic function in the progression of glioma and that the LINC00963/miR-506/BCAT1 axis may be a novel mechanism and therapeutic strategy for this disease.

Objectives: With the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 around the world, it has become a worldwide health concern. One previous study reported a family cluster with an asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19. Here, we report another series of cases and further demonstrate the repeatability of the transmission of COVID-19 by pre-symptomatic carriers. Methods: A familial cluster of five patients associated with COVID-19 was enrolled in the hospital. We collected epidemiological and clinical characteristics, laboratory outcomes from electronic medical records, and also verified them with the patients and their families. Results: Among them, three family members (Case 3/4/5) had returned from Wuhan. Additionally, two family members, those who had not traveled to Wuhan, also contracted COVID-19 after contacting with the other three family members. Case 1 developed severe pneumonia and was admitted to the ICU. Case 3 and Case 5 presented fever and cough on days two through three of hospitalization and had ground-glass opacity changes in their lungs. Case 4 presented with diarrhea and pharyngalgia after admission without radiographic abnormalities. Case 2 presented no clinical nor radiographic abnormalities. All five cases had an increasing level of C-reactive protein. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that COVID-19 can be transmitted by asymptomatic carriers during the incubation period.
