OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether fluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity/diffusion-weighted imaging (FVH/DWI) mismatch is associated with post-procedural recanalization in patients with acute anterior-circulation large-vessel occlusion (LVO) treated with mechanical thrombectomy. METHODS:This retrospective cohort study enrolled 120 consecutive patients with acute anterior-circulation LVO who underwent mechanical thrombectomy at our hospital from March 2021 to June 2024. Clinical characteristics, imaging variables, and treatment-workflow data were collected. Based on angiographic reperfusion, patients were divided into a good recanalization group (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [mTICI] grade 2b-3; n = 82) and a poor recanalization group (mTICI grade 0-2a; n = 38). According to 90-day functional outcome assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), patients were further classified as having a favorable outcome (mRS 0-2; n = 74) or an unfavorable outcome (mRS 3-6; n = 46). Between-group differences were examined, and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of poor recanalization and unfavorable outcome. RESULTS:The mean age in the good recanalization group was 66.81±9.10 years, which was significantly lower than that in the poor recanalization group (P < 0.05). FVH/DWI mismatch was more common in the good recanalization group (76.83%) than in the poor recanalization group (P < 0.05). Compared with patients with favorable outcomes, those with unfavorable outcomes were older (76.61±7.98 years), had higher admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores (17.20±3.12), and exhibited a higher rate of poor recanalization (52.17%) (all P < 0.05), while the FVH/DWI mismatch rate was lower (28.26%, P < 0.05). Multivariable analysis showed that age (per 1-year increase: OR=1.089, 95%CI 1.032-1.149) and FVH/DWI mismatch (OR=0.523, 95%CI 0.312-0.876) were independent factors associated with poor recanalization (both P < 0.05). Age (per 1-year increase: OR=1.102, 95%CI 1.045-1.162), admission NIHSS score (per 1-point increase: OR=1.212, 95%CI 1.089-1.348), successful recanalization (OR=0.467, 95%CI 0.267-0.817), and FVH/DWI mismatch (OR=0.432, 95%CI 0.245-0.761) were independently associated with an unfavorable 90-day outcome (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:FVH/DWI mismatch is independently associated with both angiographic recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy and 90-day neurological outcomes in acute anterior-circulation LVO, and may serve as an imaging biomarker for predicting reperfusion success and clinical prognosis.
Objective:To investigate the effect of simvastatin on serum NSE,TNF-α levels and recurrence in patients with chronic subdural hematoma after drilling and drainage.Method:A total of 60 patients with chronic subdural hematoma admitted to the hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the research objects.They were divided into control group(n=30)and observation group(n=30)by random number table method.The control group was given drilling and drainage,and the observation group was treated with simvastatin on the basis of the control group.The residual hematoma volume,neurological function[National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,serum neuron-specific enolase(NSE)],inflammatory factor levels[serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)]and postoperative hematoma recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results:The amount of residual hematoma in the two groups after 1 week,1 month and 2 months of treatment was less than that before treatment,and that in the observation group was less than that in the control group(P<0.05).The NIHSS score and serum NSE of the two groups were lower than those before treatment,and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).The serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the two groups were lower than those before treatment,and those in the observation group were lower than the control group(P<0.05).The recurrence rate of hematoma in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of simvastatin after drilling and drainage can improve the levels of serum NSE and TNF-α in patients with chronic subdural hematoma and reduce the risk of postoperative hematoma recurrence.
Abstract Postpartum cerebral arterial dissections are rare, and the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment approaches are not clear to many physicians. This study was to investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of postpartum cerebral arterial dissections. One patient with postpartum cerebral arterial dissections enrolled in our hospital was analyzed. All patients with postpartum cerebral arterial dissections retrieved from the PubMed were also included in this study and analyzed. A total of 45 patients with postpartum cerebral arterial dissections were retrieved including our case, with an age range of 24 to 44 years (mean 34). Thirty-six (80%) patients were older than 30 years of age (mean 35). There were 17 cases of cesarean section, 14 cases of natural labor, and 14 cases whose delivery modes were not reported. The clinical symptoms included headache in 35 cases (78%) and neck pain in 14 (31%). The symptoms occurred at a mean time of 11 days (range 0-53 days) following delivery. Among 45 patients, arterial dissections involved unilateral carotid or vertebral artery in 29 cases (64%), bilateral carotid or vertebral arteries in 8 (18%), 3 arteries in 3 (7%), and all bilateral carotid and vertebral arteries in 5 (11%). Fourteen (31%) patients were treated with antiplatelet agents, 27 (60%) with anticoagulation, 7 (16%) with both antiplatelet and anticoagulation medications, and only 2 (4%) with stent angioplasty. The prognosis was complete recovery in 30 (86%) patients and mild focal neurological symptoms in 5 (14%). Postpartum cerebral arterial dissections are rare, and correct diagnosis relies on imaging examination. Prognosis is usually favorable in patients with early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

To investigate the value of MoCA and auditory P300 as a cognitive assessment tool in chinese idiopathic inflammatory-demyelinating diseases (IIDDs), eighty three consecutive patients with IIDDs and thirteen sex- and age-matched healthy controls were recruited in the study. MMSE, MoCA and auditory P300 potential were administrated to each participant. The percentage of cognitive impairment in IIDDs patients was 24.1% by using MMSE, while the percentage was 81.9% by using MoCA. The majority of IIDDs participants had MMSE scores in the normal range. In contrast, few IIDDs participants scored in the normal range on the MoCA. Age, EDSS and depression correlated negatively with the total score of MoCA and MMSE. Years of education correlated positively with MoCA and MMSE. ADEM patients scored lower on all MoCA subtests. Prolonged latency P300 which negatively correlated with MoCA and reduced P300 amplitude which positively correlated with MoCA were detected in IIDDs patients. Thus MoCA is superior to the MMSE as a cognitive impairment scan tool and P300 is useful for detecting cogntive deficiency in chinese IIDDs.

The pathophysiologic significance of the CD16+ monocyte subset has been demonstrated by its expansion in various autoimmune disorders. To date, the characteristics and roles of monocyte subpopulations in patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) have been poorly defined. We measured the percentages of the monocyte subsets in the peripheral blood, the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA in monocyte subsets and the concentrations of IL-1β and TNF-α in plasma and CSF from NMO patients. Our results showed that nonclassical monocytes were up-regulated in NMO patients and significantly elevated IL-1β and TNF-α expression was detected in it. In addition the increased nonclassical monocytes could be selectively suppressed by GC in patients with NMO.
Objective To observe the effects of interferon p-1b(IFNp-1b) on the quality of life(QOL) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis(MS) and to determine the influential factors for QOL.Methods Thirteen MS patients treated with IFNβ-1b were included in the study.The scores on Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54(MSQOL-54),Expanded Disability Status Scale(EDSS),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD) were determined at baseline and 1,3,6,9,and 12 months after treatment.Results The MS patients treated with IFNp-1b showed no significant changes in QOL and EDSS,HAMA,and HAMD scores at 1,3,6,9,and 12 months after treatment(P 0.05 for all).Before treatment,patients' physical health,sexual function,and satisfaction with sexual life were negatively correlated with EDSS score(P0.05 for all);role limitation due to emotional problems and bodily pain were positively correlated with the course of disease(P 0.05 for both);physical health,emotional status,social function,sexual function,and satisfaction with sexual life were negatively correlated with HAMA score(P0.05 for all);cognitive function and stress were negatively correlated with HAMD score(P 0.05 for both).Role limitation due to physical problems,energy,health perception,overall QOL,and change in health showed no correlations with the course of disease and EDSS,HAMA and HAMD scores(P 0.05 for all),and no correlation was found between age and QOL(P 0.05).Conclusions IFN-β1b therapy may not have significant impact on QOL in MS patients in short time.QOL is correlated with EDSS score and anxiety and depressive symptoms.
