In this case, contezolid was successfully used to treat a centenarian male patient with a Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci induced biliary tract infection. Treatment was initiated with contezolid 800 mg every 12 hours for 14 days instead of linezolid due to a significant decrease in platelet count. After treatment, the patient's temperature normalized, the infection was effectively controlled, and organ function improved. There were no reports of infection recurrence or drug-related adverse reactions during a three-month follow-up period. This experience demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of contezolid in managing biliary tract infections.
Early neurological deterioration (END) is an unfavorable outcome of acute ischemic stroke and is associated with poor prognosis. Blood pressure variability has been suggested to be involved in the development of END. Therefore, the present study investigated the association between blood pressure variability and the development of END. In the present prospective observational study, 286 patients who developed acute ischemic stroke and then hospitalized within 24 h of stroke onset were recruited. Blood pressure parameters (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure) were monitored using a 24 h ambulatory sphygmomanometer within 72 h of ischemic onset. Clinical characteristics were also recorded. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the possible relationship between blood pressure parameters and END after adjustment for confounders. Of the 286 patients in the present study, 64 (22.3%) developed END. Pulse pressure variables, including the mean of 24-h pulse pressure (24-h PPMEAN) and the mean of daytime pulse pressure (Day PPMEAN), were found to be higher in the END group compared with those in the non-END group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the blood pressure parameters 24-h PPMEAN [odds ratio (OR), 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01-1.16; P=0.02) and Day PPMEAN (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.011-1.45; P=0.04) were significantly associated with END. These findings suggest that the pulse pressure level fluctuations during the acute stage of ischemic stroke can serve important roles in the development of END, which worsens outcomes after stroke.

Objective:To investigate the clinical phenotypes, imaging features and pathogenic variants of ANO10 gene related autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia-10 (SCAR10).Methods:A cohort of 30 probands of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia pedigrees from China-Japan Friendship Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were collected. Friedreich ataxia and other causes of acquired ataxia were excluded, then probands were detected by whole-exome sequencing (WES), and potential pathogenic variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and validated in all family members. Clinical phenotypes and auxiliary examinations of the patients were analyzed in detail.Results:A pedigree of SCAR10 caused by ANO10 gene mutations was identified through WES. The 40-year-old male proband of this pedigree carried compound heterozygous mutations: c.1219-2A>C and c.1163-2A>G of the ANO10 gene, both of which were novel mutations, and Sanger sequencing revealed these two mutations were respectively inherited from his healthy parents. Bioinformatic analysis predicted these two mutations were pathogenic. The proband exhibited progressive unsteady walk, dysarthria, mild cognitive impairment. His plasma total coenzyme Q 10 was decreased (0.76 μg/ml). Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed remarkable cerebellar atrophy. Conclusions:Through WES, a SCAR10 patient caused by novel compound heterozygous mutations of ANO10 gene was identified, which is rare in China. The main clinical manifestation was progressive cerebellar ataxia and cognitive decline, and brain image showed remarkable cerebellar atrophy.

Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may target the central nervous system and several neurological symptoms have been reported in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In the present study, a case of a SARS-CoV-2 complicated with meningoencephalitis was reported. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analyses indicated hyperproteinorrachia but the specimen was negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Furthermore, 10 published articles reporting on patients with COVID-19-associated meningitis/encephalitis were reviewed. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19-associated meningitis/encephalitis had diverse clinical neurological manifestations, including consciousness disturbance, epileptic attacks, psychotic syndrome and meningeal irritation signs. CSF tests revealed elevated protein, lymphocytes and cytokines. SARS-CoV-2 may be detected in the CSF of certain cases. Neuroimaging findings included hyperintense signal changes in the white matter and enhancement of meninges on brain MRI. Certain patients responded well to corticosteroid therapy and had a favorable prognosis, while elderly patients tended to have poor outcomes due to multiple organ dysfunction.
