To identify risk factors for cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) following revascularization surgery in adult moyamoya disease (MMD) patients and to develop and validate a corresponding risk prediction model. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and CNKI for studies on CHS risk factors post-revascularization in adult MMD. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4. Significant risk factors from the meta-analysis were used to construct a logistic regression model. For clinical validation, 120 eligible patients from a tertiary neurosurgical center were enrolled (March–October 2025). The model's discrimination and calibration were evaluated. Fifteen studies involving 1,968 patients were included. The pooled CHS incidence was 23
ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the psychological outcomes and changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Chinese patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD) following revascularization procedures.MethodsA total of 68 patients diagnosed with MMD and who underwent revascularization at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January 2023 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Neuropsychological assessments, including the Trail Making Test, Chapuis Maze, Digit D2, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), were administered preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months and 1 year. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 29.0, with appropriate parametric or non-parametric tests applied based on data distribution.ResultsBaseline characteristics revealed no significant differences between the Unremarkable and Impaired groups, confirming comparability. Postoperative improvements were observed in HRQOL across multiple domains, particularly in patients with preoperative impairments. Significant improvements were seen in physical functioning, general health, physical pain, emotional role function, and vitality (P < 0.05). Psychological outcomes also showed significant improvements, with reductions in aggressiveness, anxiety, and somatization (P < 0.001). Depression scores significantly decreased in 29.4% of patients (P < 0.001), and executive function, as measured by TMTA, TMTB, and Digit D2, also showed significant improvements in the impaired group (P < 0.001). However, patients without preoperative impairments exhibited no significant changes in any of the assessed domains.ConclusionRevascularization significantly improves both psychological outcomes and HRQOL in Chinese patients with MMD, particularly in those with preoperative impairments. These findings highlight the importance of surgical intervention in enhancing both cognitive and psychological functioning in this patient population. Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm these results and explore long-term benefits.
Ischemic stroke is a major cause of neurological deficits and high disability rate. As the primary immune cells of the central nervous system, microglia play dual roles in neuroinflammation and tissue repair following a stroke. Their dynamic activation and polarization states are key factors that influence the disease process and treatment outcomes. This review article investigates the role of microglia in ischemic stroke and explores potential intervention strategies. Microglia exhibit a dynamic functional state, transitioning between pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes. This duality is crucial in ischemic stroke, as it maintains a balance between neuroinflammation and tissue repair. Activated microglia contribute to neuroinflammation through cytokine release and disruption of the blood–brain barrier, while simultaneously promoting tissue repair through anti-inflammatory responses and regeneration. Key pathways influencing microglial activation include Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa B, mitogen-activated protein kinases, Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin pathways. These pathways are targets for various experimental therapies aimed at promoting M2 polarization and mitigating damage. Potential therapeutic agents include natural compounds found in drugs such as minocycline, as well as traditional Chinese medicines. Drugs that target these regulatory mechanisms, such as small molecule inhibitors and components of traditional Chinese medicines, along with emerging technologies such as single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, offer new therapeutic strategies and clinical translational potential for ischemic stroke.
Background Cerebral hemorrhage significantly impacts patients' neurological function and daily living capabilities. The study investigates the effect of functional training based on clinical nursing pathways informed by evidence-based theory on the functional recovery in postoperative patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Methods This retrospective analysis included 160 patients divided into an intervention group receiving specialized functional training (n = 80) and a control group receiving standard care (n = 80) from December 2021 to December 2023. Functional recovery was evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Complications and patient satisfaction were also assessed. Results The intervention group showed significant improvements in NIHSS, MBI, and GCS scores post-intervention, indicating enhanced neurological function, daily living capabilities, and consciousness levels (p < 0.001). Complication rates were lower in the intervention group (2.5%) compared to the control group (18.75%), with statistical significance (p = 0.0021). Patient satisfaction was notably higher in the intervention group, with 95% total satisfaction compared to 76% in the control group (p < 0.01). Conclusion Functional training within clinical nursing pathways, grounded in evidence-based theory, significantly improves postoperative functional recovery, reduces complications, and increases patient satisfaction in individuals recovering from cerebral hemorrhage.

Introduction Evidence has shown that stroke exercise rehabilitation is the most effective way to improve disease prognosis, but home exercise adherence in elderly patients with stroke is low due to they are more likely to have movement disorders, cognitive disorders, mental disorders, etc. Currently, most studies on exercise adherence in elderly patients with stroke are quantitative, and there is a lack of qualitative studies from the perspective of patients, caregivers, and medical staff. Considering the importance of home exercise adherence in elderly patients with stroke, the present study aimed to explore the influencing factors of home exercise adherence in them and summarize the potential ways to improve it. Methods From October to December 2022, 9 medical staff, 12 elderly patients with stroke and 7 caregivers from a level A tertiary hospital and community health service center in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province were selected by the purposive sampling and were interviewed in a face-to-face semi-structured way. The data were analyzed and summarized by the phenomenological analysis of Colaizzi’s method. Results The influencing factors of home exercise adherence in elderly patients with stroke can be summarized into 3 themes and 8 subthemes. These were individual factors (physical impairment, exercise self-efficacy, and depression), family factors (caregiving ability and emotional support); and stroke rehabilitation environment (exercise prescription, monitoring and feedback, and organizational policy). Conclusion Home exercise adherence in elderly patients with stroke was influenced by many factors. Medical staff should assess the patient’s physical function and depression, establish a multi-support system, formulate personalized exercise prescription, pay attention to the monitoring and feedback of home-based exercise rehabilitation, and improve the home-based rehabilitation model for stroke, so as to improve the home exercise adherence in elderly patients with stroke and promote the best rehabilitation effect.

BackgroundPatients with frailty are at a high risk of poor health outcomes, and frailty has been explored as a predictor of adverse events, such as perioperative complications, readmissions, falls, disability, and mortality in the neurosurgical literature. However, the precise relationship between frailty and neurosurgical outcomes in patients with brain tumor has not been established, and thus evidence-based advancements in neurosurgical management. The objectives of this study are to describe existing evidence and conduct the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between frailty and neurosurgical outcomes among brain tumor patients.MethodsSeven English databases and four Chinese databases were searched to identify neurosurgical outcomes and the prevalence of frailty among patients with a brain tumor, with no restrictions on the publication period. According to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, two independent reviewers employed the Newcastle–Ottawa scale in cohort studies and JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Cross-sectional Studies to evaluate the methodological quality of each study. Then random-effects or fixed-effects meta-analysis was used in combining odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (RR) for the categorical data and continuous data of neurosurgical outcomes. The primary outcomes are mortality and postoperative complications, and secondary outcomes include readmission, discharge disposition, length of stay (LOS), and hospitalization costs.ResultsA total of 13 papers were included in the systematic review, and the prevalence of frailty ranged from 1.48 to 57%. Frailty was significantly associated with increased risk of mortality (OR = 1.63; CI = 1.33–1.98; p < 0.001), postoperative complications (OR = 1.48; CI = 1.40–1.55; p < 0.001; I2 = 33%), nonroutine discharge disposition to a facility other than home (OR = 1.72; CI = 1.41–2.11; p < 0.001), prolonged LOS (OR = 1.25; CI = 1.09–1.43; p = 0.001), and high hospitalization costs among brain tumor patients. However, frailty was not independently associated with readmission (OR = 0.99; CI = 0.96–1.03; p = 0.74).ConclusionFrailty is an independent predictor of mortality, postoperative complications, nonroutine discharge disposition, LOS, and hospitalization costs among brain tumor patients. In addition, frailty plays a significant potential role in risk stratification, preoperative shared decision making, and perioperative management.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42021248424

Introduction Exercise rehabilitation is crucial for promoting the rehabilitation of limb motor function in people who had stroke and is related to a better prognosis. However, the exercise adherence of patients is low, which affects the effect of exercise rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the Innovative Telerehabilitation Enhanced Care Programme (ITECP) on exercise adherence in young and middle-aged patients with haemorrhagic stroke. We hypothesise that patients trained with ITECP will show greater improvement in exercise adherence and muscle strength than patients with routine exercise rehabilitation.Methods and analysis This is a randomised controlled, evaluator-blinded multicentre superiority trial to be implemented at four tertiary grade-A hospitals in eastern, western, northern and central China. Patients in the experimental group will receive ITECP while those in the control group will receive routine exercise rehabilitation. Both groups will receive routine care. The primary outcome measure is exercise adherence, while secondary outcome measures include muscle strength, activities of daily living, exercise self-efficacy, quality of life, rate of exercise-related adverse events and readmission. These will be measured at baseline, predischarge as well as 1 and 3 months postdischarge.Ethics and dissemination The study has obtained ethical approval from the Medical Ethics Committee of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School (2021-381-02). The results will be shared with young and middle-aged patients with haemorrhagic stroke, policy-makers, the general public, as well as academia.Trial registration number Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR 2200066498).
