Objectives The purpose of this retrospective study is to explore the diagnostic and prognostic roles of serum RMST in carotid artery stenosis (CAS). Methods Serum levels of RMST were detected in CAS patients, and the relationship between degree of carotid stenosis and RMST levels was analyzed. The ROC curve was drawn to evaluate RMST value in predicting the risk of CAS. Then, all CAS patients received a 5-year follow-up. K-M curve was used to analyze the significance of RMST on prognosis of CAS patients. Multi-factor cox logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate independent factors for outcome of CAS patients. Results An increased RMST expression was certified in CAS patients when compared with healthy controls. The increase of serum RMST expression was related to high degree of carotid stenosis. In addition, serum RMST was a possible diagnosis and an independent influencing factor of prognosis in patients with CAS. Conclusions Raised serum RMST level was found in patients with CAS. Detecting RMST expression levels was of high value for predicting the occurrence and outcomes in CAS.

Background: Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is the major pathogen of cerebral infarction and brain death. Early detec-tion and risk prediction could help the diagnosis and improve the outcome of patients. The clinical significance of lncRNA GAS5 (GAS5) and miR-222-3p in the diagnosis and progno-sis of CAS was evaluated in this study to explore novel effec-tive biomarkers of CAS. Methods: A total of 72 CAS patients and 63 healthy indi-viduals (control) were enrolled in this study. The expres-sion levels of GAS5 and miR-222-3p in study subjects were detected using PCR. The ROC, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression analyses were carried out to estimate the diagnos-tic and prognostic value of GAS5 and miR-222-3p in CAS. The interaction between GAS5 and miR-222-3p was dis-closed by the dual-luciferase reporter. Results: The reduced expression of GAS5 and elevated expression of miR-222-3p were observed in CAS patients compared with the healthy controls, and a significant corre-lation between their expression levels in CAS was revealed. GAS5 and miR-222-3p could discriminate CAS patients from the healthy controls with high sensitivity and specificity. The GAS5 downregulation and miR-222-3p upregulation could predict the poor prognosis of CAS patients and may be asso-ciated with the severe development of patients. In human vascular smooth muscle cells, miR-222-3p could negatively regulate the luciferase activity of GAS5. Conclusion: Both GAS5 and miR-222-3p served as the diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of CAS. The function of GAS5 might result from the regulation of miR-222-3p, which needs further validation.
目的 探讨侧支循环水平对急性前循环大血管闭塞患者机械取栓治疗预后的影响.方法 回顾性分析2015年9月—2020年6月120例行机械取栓的急性前循环大血管闭塞病例的影像及临床资料,首先依据侧支循环水平不同分为侧支循环较好组(n=63)和侧支循环较差组(n=57),比较两组机械取栓治疗前、术后24 h、术后1周及术后1个月美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分,以及术后神经功能改善情况、术后90 d改良Rankin量表(mRS)评分、症状性颅内出血发生率及病死率.将mRS评分为0~2分视为预后良好组(n=74),3~6分视为预后较差组(n=46),对影响预后的因素进行多因素Logistic回归分析.结果 术后24 h、术后1周及术后1个月,两组NIHSS评分均较治疗前显著降低,且侧支循环较好组均低于侧支循环较差组(P<0.05,P<0.01).侧支循环较差组术后神经功能恢复情况及90 d良好预后率低于侧支循环较好组,病死率和症状性颅内出血发生率高于侧支循环较好组(P<0.05).多因素Logistic回归分析结果显示,术后24 h NIHSS评分较高与侧支循环水平较差是影响急性前循环大血管闭塞行机械取栓预后的独立危险因素(P<0.05,P<0.01).结论 颅内侧支循环水平在一定程度上决定急性前循环大血管闭塞机械取栓治疗的预后,较好的侧支循环是取得良好预后的重要条件.

Vertebral artery (VA) stenosis is relevant to a high early risk of recurrent stroke and basilar artery (BA) is the most common intracranial site of atherosclerotic lesions. It is important to show predictive risk factors for transient ischemic attack (TIA) or posterior infarctions. The aim of the study is to investigate morphometry and hemodynamics in intracranial vertebral and basilar arteries of health and diseased patients to enhance the risk assessment. Based on the geometrical model reconstructed from CTA images in 343 patients, a transient three-dimensional computational model was used to determine the hemodynamics. Patients were classified in symmetric, asymmetric, hypoplastic, and stenotic groups while patients in the stenotic group were divided into unilateral, bilateral, bifurcation, and tandem stenotic sub-groups. Patients in bilateral, bifurcation, and tandem stenotic sub-groups had significantly lower basilar artery diameters than other groups. Patients in the stenotic group had significantly higher surface area ratio (SAR) of high time-averaged wall shear stress gradient (TAWSSG) and higher incidence of TIAs or posterior infarctions than other groups while patients in the tandem stenotic sub-group had the highest values (SAR-TAWSSG of 57±22% and TIAs or posterior infarction incidence of 54%). The high SAR-TAWSSG is predisposed to induce TIAs or posterior infarction.

Vertebral artery origin anomalies are typically incidental findings during angiography. We present an extremely rare variant in which the right vertebral artery has a double origin from the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery in association with an aberrant right subclavian artery, which has never been reported before.
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of dual microcatheter "cross-regional" embolization technique in treating intracranial irregular aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 19 patients with intracranial irregular aneurysms, who were treated with "cross-regional" embolization technique at authors' hospital during the period from May 2016 to May 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. The embolization strategy formulation, selection of embolization materials, surgical process and embolization effect were summarized. Results Successful treatment of intracranial irregular aneurysm was accomplished in all the 19 patients. In one patient, during the embolization process of the neck of aneurysm the steel coil was over-protruded into the parent artery, and stent implantation had to be carried out to rescue the therapy, and finally successful treatment was achieved. The technical success rate of "cross-regional" embolization was 95%. Complete embolization was obtained in 15 patients and subtotal embolization in 3 patients. Conclusion For the treatment of some specified intracranial irregular aneurysms, dual microcatheter "cross - regional" embolization technique is technically simple, and it is a safe and effective treatment option.

Posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms frequently rupture in small size (<7 mm). The aim of the study is to demonstrate morphometric and hemodynamic analyses in ruptured and unruptured PCoA aneurysms to improve predictive accuracy for rupture. Geometrical models were reconstructed from rotational DSA images of 57 ruptured and 22 unruptured side-wall PCoA aneurysms, which were classified into four two-dimensional (2D) groups by a combination of H/D and H/S ratios (H: dome height, D: dome diameter, and S: semi-axis height). Surface area ratio (SAR) of low time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS, ≤4 dynes cm-2) and high oscillatory shear index (OSI, ≥0.15) were computed in aneurysms. We hypothesized that a two-step analysis method, i.e., one-dimensionally morphometric and hemodynamic analyses in each 2D group, can enhance accuracy of PCoA aneurysm rupture evaluation. There was the highest incidence of H/D > 1 and H/S ≤ 2 with the largest surface area and SAR-TAWSS, but the lowest incidence of H/D ≤ 1 and H/S > 2 with the smallest surface area and SAR-TAWSS in ruptured PCoA aneurysms. PCoA aneurysms of H/D > 1 and H/S ≤ 2 with surface area > 70 mm2, H/D ≤ 1 and H/S > 2 with neck diameter > 2.3 mm, H/D ≤ 1 and H/S ≤ 2 with aneurysmal height/parent diameter ratio > 1.0, and H/D > 1 and H/S > 2 with aneurysmal angle > 115° need special attention for clinical diagnosis and treatment. The study highlighted the importance of the two-step analysis method for clinical evaluation of PCoA aneurysm rupture.

Objective To investigate the causes of intraoperative re-rupture of intracranial aneurysm with bleeding during endovascular interventional embolization procedure in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to intracranial aneurysm,and to discuss its emergency treatment and prevention measures.Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with intracranial aneurysm,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from January 2011 to October 2016 and in whom intraoperative re-rupture of intracranial aneurysm with bleeding occurred in endovascular interventional embolization procedure,were retrospectively analyzed.The imaging features,the selection of embolization material and the key point of technical operation were evaluated.Results A total of 510 patients with intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage received interventional embolization therapy,and among them 11 patients developed intraoperative re-rupture of intracranial aneurysm with bleeding,with the incidence being 2.2%.The cause of re-rupture was mainly due to the perforation of vascular wall by spring coil (n=8) or by micro-catheter (n=2).In the remaining one patient,re-bleeding occurred during the thrombolytic treatment for acute in-stent thrombosis.Through active emergency treatment,satisfactory prognosis was obtained in 10 patients,and no obvious neurological deficit was observed.One patient died.Conclusion Intraoperative re-rupture of intracranial aneurysm with bleeding during endovascular interventional embolization procedure is a severe,even catastrophic,complication.The main cause of re-rupture is due to the perforation of vascular wall mainly by spring coil or occasionally by micro-catheter.However,as long as positive and reasonable treatment measures are promptly adopted,its mortality and morbidity can be greatly reduced.
