Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by amyloid fibril deposition. The TTR c.148G > T mutation (V30L) in ATTR is rarely reported, and its biochemical properties are unknown. Seven patients and two asymptomatic carriers from two unrelated families diagnosed with V30L variant of ATTR were included. Data on clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, electrophysiology, ophthalmological corneal confocal microscopy (CCM), pathology and molecular biological experiments was collected and analyzed. Most patients initially experienced paresthesia, with varying degrees of peripheral neuropathy, autonomic dysfunction, and cardiac involvement. Nerve conduction studies showed extensive motor and sensory nerve involvement in upper and lower limbs. CCM revealed reduced corneal nerve density and fiber length. Sural nerve biopsies indicated loss of myelinated nerve fibers, with neurogenic patterns in gastrocnemius muscle biopsies. Asymptomatic carriers had nearly normal electrophysiology but mild reductions in corneal nerve fiber density and length. Sural nerve biopsies in carriers showed mild reductions in small myelinated nerve fibers. V30L mutation impaired thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the mutant protein. Plasma TTR tetramer concentration was lower in ATTR V30L patients compared to healthy donors. Small molecule stabilizers failed to exhibit satisfactory inhibition on fibril formation of V30L mutation in vitro. This study highlights the multisystem involvement in ATTR V30L patients, including neuropathy and cardiac issues. Both patients and carriers showed abnormalities in nerve conduction, corneal microscopy, and pathology. The V30L mutation impaired protein stability and reduced plasma TTR tetramer levels. Small molecule stabilizers were ineffective, indicating a need for alternative treatments.
Distal hereditary motor neuropathies (dHMN) are a group of heterogeneous diseases and previous studies have reported that the compound heterozygous recessive MME variants cause dHMN. Our study found a novel homozygous MME variant and a reported compound heterozygous MME variant in two Chinese families, respectively. Next-generation sequencing and nerve conduction studies were performed for two probands. The probands in two families presented with the muscle weakness and wasting of both lower limbs and carried a c.2122 A > T (p.K708*) and c.1342 C > T c.2071_2072delinsTT (p.R448* p.A691L) variant, respectively. Prominently axonal impairment of motor nerves and slight involvement of sensory nerves were observed in nerve conduction study. Our study reported a “novel” nonsense mutation and a missense variant of autosomal recessive late-onset dHMN and reviewed reported MME variants associated with dHMN phenotype.
This study reported a case of MELAS syndrome presenting as the initial imaging characteristics of Fahr’s syndrome with “near” sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and lateralized periodic discharges (LPD). The patient, a young boy, experienced loss of consciousness 2 days prior, which was followed by two limb and facial convulsions. He was later found in cardiac arrest during hospitalization, but regained consciousness gradually after receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation and tracheal intubation. The patient exhibited short stature, intellectual disability, poor sports abilities, and academic performance since childhood, but had no family history. Emergency head computed tomography (CT) revealed high density calcification in bilateral caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, thalamus, and dentate nucleus with evidence of an acute process. The patient was transferred to the neurology department where he continued to recover consciousness, though he experienced dysarthria, left limb hemiplegia, and hemiparesthesia. Changes in head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were noted at admission, 1 month later, and 6 months later. LPD were observed in his video electroencephalogram. The CT urography indicated a narrow left ureteropelvic junction with left hydronephrosis, which was suggestive of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Ultimately, a diagnosis of near-SUDEP was suspected in this patient, indicating a rare case of MELAS syndrome with near-SUDEP and LPD. The gene tests results revealed the presence of the mitochondrial DNA A3243G mutation, leading to the final diagnosis of MELAS syndrome. This case expands the clinical disease spectrum of the MELAS syndrome.

Objective The over-age phenomenon of simple febrile seizures (SFS) was found during the epidemic in COVID-19, but there was no clear explanation, especially in China. This study aimed to analyze the clinical and auxiliary examination features of SFS in children infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods In total, 78 patients with SFS in the Department of Pediatric and Neurology of Qujing First People's Hospital were enrolled and divided into the COVID-19-positive group (case group) and the COVID-19-negative group (control group). The clinical characteristics, auxiliary examinations, and risk factors were analyzed. Results There were significant differences in age stratification between the two groups. The proportion of children aged over 5 years old in the case group (47.4%) was higher than that of the control group (5%) ( p < 0.0001). In terms of sex distribution, the proportion of males in the case group was higher than that in the control group (71.1% vs. 50%), but the difference was not statistically significant ( p = 0.0678). For blood cell analysis, the values of white blood cells (WBC), lymphocytes (LY), and monocytes (MN) in the case group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( p < 0.01). Serum electrolyte analysis showed the greatest difference in blood sodium. The proportion of hyponatremia in the case group was higher than that in the control group (36.8% vs. 17.5%), but the difference did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.0745). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of FS was a independent protective factors for SFS in children with COVID-19 (OR = 0.115, p = 0.009), and age was an independent risk factor for SFS in children with COVID-19 (OR = 1.042, p = 0.001). Conclusion Age distribution, sex a previous history of FS and hyponatremia were different between children with and without COVID-19 in SFS. The history of FS was an independent protective factors for SFS in children with COVID-19.

Background: As the priority drug for treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS), alteplase is a thrombolytic drug with strong fibrin specificity. It can obviously treat AIS with high safety. However, the validity of its time window is controversial. This study focus on the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase for treating AIS at different time windows. Methods: Retrieval of English database (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library) and Chinese database was conducted (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WAN FANG, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc) by computers. From the establishment of the database to October 2020, a retrospective study and case-control study on intravenous thrombolysis at different time windows for treating AIS were conducted. Two researchers independently conducted data extraction and quality evaluation of literature on the included studies, and RevMan5.3 was used for Meta-analysis on the included literature. Results: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase at different time windows for treating AIS by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, modified Rankin Scale rating scale, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage incidence rate, All-cause mortality, and so on. Conclusions: This study will provide an evidence-based basis for the clinical efficacy of alteplase for treating AIS by thrombolytic therapy at different time windows. Ethics and dissemination: Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval was not required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences.
Objectives: miR-199a can regulate autophagy, its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of miR-199a involved in regulating autophagy in a 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP+)-induced in vitro model of PD. Methods: PC12 cells were incubated in MPP+, and the expression levels of miR-199a were bidirectionally regulated via either transfection of an miR-199a mimic or incubation in miR-199a inhibitors. The experimental manipulations were divided into four groups, including the control group, MPP+ group, MPP+ + miR-199a mimic group, and MPP+ + miR-199a inhibitor group. MTT, CCK-8, qRT-PCR, Western blotting and linear correlation analysis were performed to evaluate various experimental indicators. Results: At increasing MPP+ concentrations, the following results were found: the expression levels of miR-199a, phosphorylated AKT and mTOR proteins expression decreased; the expression levels of phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), GSK3 beta, Beclin1, and LC3II increased; PC12 autophagy increased; and cellular viability and survival rates decreased. Transfection of an miR-199a mimic increased miR-199a expression and induced all of the following: the expression levels of PTEN, GSK3 beta, Beclin1, and LC3II decreased; the expression levels of phosphorylated AKT and mTOR proteins expression increased; PC12 autophagy decreased; and cellular viability and survival rates increased. Discussion: In this in vitro study, we found that increasing miR-199a expression in PC12 cells reduced protein levels of Beclin1 and LC3II, decreased autophagy, enhanced cellular viability, increased survival rate, and ameliorated MPP+-induced parkinsonian-like cellular pathologies by targeting pro-autophagic pathways and GSK3 beta to activate PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling.
Objective To investigate the associated factors and trends of prehospital delay in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods Elderly patients with AIS admitted to the First People's Hospital of Qujing from 2007 to 2017 were enrolled retrospectively.The data of patients was collected from the medical records.Onset-to-door time > 2 h was defined as prehospital delay.The demographic and baseline data were compared between the delay group and the non-delay group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associated factors for prehospital delay.In addition,the trends of prehospital delay time at the different stages of the study were also analyzed.Results A total of 1 566 patients with AIS aged ≥65 years were enrolled.Their mean age was 75.61 ±6.06 years.The mean time of prehospital delay was 10.83 ± 7.47 h (median time 8.27 h).Multivariatelogistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (odds ratio [OR] 1.271,95% confidence interval [CI] 1.029-2.896;P =0.039),nocturnal onset (OR 1.413,95% CI 1.067-3.859;P=0.013),and atypical symptom onset (OR 2.345,95% CI 1.184-8.126;P=0.029) were independently positively correlated with prehospital delay,while the emergency medical service transport (OR 0.743,95% CI 0.261-0.998;P =0.010),having medical insurance (OR 0.219,95% CI 0.015-0.799;P =0.042),and having a bystander at the time of onset (OR 0.618,95% CI 0.149-0.814;P=0.003) were independently negatively correlated with prehospital delay.At the different stages of the study,January 2007 to October 2010,November 2010 to April 2015,and May 2015 to December 2017,the mean time of prehospital delay was 12.59 ± 7.06 h,10.57 ±7.78 h,and 8.47 ±7.07 h,respectively.They showed a decrease trend,but the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion Advanced age,nocturnal onset,and atypical symptom onset were the independent risk factors for prehospital delay,while emergency medical service transport,having medical insurance,and having a bystander at the time of onset were the independent protective factors for prehospital delay.The delay time of the elderly patients with AIS is declining year by year,but the improvement is not significant.The delay in seeking timely medical intervention remains an important public health problem.
目的 探讨血清同型半胱氨酸(homocysteine,Hcy)水平与重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(recombinant tissue plasminogen activator,rt-PA)溶栓治疗急性缺血性脑卒中(acute ischemic stroke,AIS)老老年患者预后的关系.方法 收集符合研究入选标准患者47例,并依据Hcy水平分为Hcy高水平(≥18.54μmol/L)组(A组)24例和Hcy低水平组(<18.54μmol/L)组(B组)23例,分析2组年龄、性别、脑血管疾病危险因素、起病至静脉溶栓时间、血糖、血脂、尿酸、纤维蛋白、血红蛋白、血小板计数、卒中类型和临床结局等指标.所有患者在溶栓治疗24 h后行CT/MRI检查以排除脑出血.采用美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(National Instituteof Health Stroke Scale,NIHSS)与改良Rankin量表(Modified Rankin Scale,MRS)评估神经功能,以溶栓治疗90 d后MRS评分≥4分为预后不良.分析影响急性缺血性脑卒中溶栓患者预后的危险因素,并计算Hcy预测预后的潜在界值.结果 2组Hcy水平均高于正常,其水平与糖尿病、吸烟、饮酒、尿酸及血红蛋白有关.治疗1周后,Hcy高水平组NIHSS评分明显高于低水平组(P<0.05),且高水平组24 h后症状性出血转化风险增加(P<0.05).治疗3个月后与Hcy低水平组相比,Hcy高水平组MRS评分较低、临床结局较差(P<0.05).Hcy水平和初始NIHSS评分是AIS老老年患者接受rt-PA溶栓治疗预后不良的危险因素,Hcy预测预后不良的潜在最佳界值可能为21.35μmol/L(敏感度78.6%,特异度63.3%).结论 Hcy高水平可能是AIS老老年患者接受rt-PA溶栓治疗预后不良的潜在独立预测因子,最佳界值是21.35μmol/L.
脑微出血是由于脑微小血管病变所致的以脑微小出血为主要影像学表现的脑血管病,与各种神经系统疾病具有相关性.由于脑微出血有时并不会产生相应的临床症状而易被患者忽视,随着时间的推移对患者的生活质量及健康产生严重的影响,现对脑微出血的发病机制、临床意义及检查手段作一综述,以提高临床检出率,并为脑微出血的防治提供临床依据.
The result of ambulatory EEG (AEEG) examination on 168 comatose patients showed that AEEG grading was negatively correlated with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (r = - 0.995, P = 0.005). More serious the patients' condition was and the deeper coma they were in, the lower GCS score and the higher EEG grade they would got. Among all patients, there were 84 cases with AEEG grade Ⅱ, in whom 74 cases (88.10% ) had favorable prognosis; 26 cases (49.06% ) of 53 cases with grade Ⅲ and 4 cases (12.90% ) of 31 cases with grade Ⅳ - Ⅴ had favorable prognosis. The differences between groups had statistical significance ( χ 2 = 60.565, P = 0.042). AEEG is non-invasive, repeatable and easy to operate, which is in favor of the neurological evaluation and prognosis of patients with coma. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2016.10.013
The expression of let-7 family members was differentiated in ischemic stroke (IS), functioning as an important regulating molecular in the pathophysiology of stroke. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphism in the promoters of let-7 family may be associated with the risk of IS. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the association of the rs10877887 and rs13293512 in the promoters of let-7 family with the susceptibility to IS. A hospital-based case–control study was performed. The rs10877887 genotype was determined by using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay, and the rs13293512 genotype was determined by using a TaqMan assay. We found that the rs13293512CC genotype was associated with a reduced risk of IS (CC vs. TT: adjusted OR = 0.43, 95 % CI 0.26–0.71; dominant model: adjusted OR = 0.70, 95 % CI 0.49–0.98; recessive model: adjusted OR = 0.45, 95 % CI, 0.28-0.73). Stratification analysis showed that the rs10877887TT carriers had a higher level of total cholesterol compared to rs10877887TC/CC carriers (P = 0.03). Combined analysis showed that the rs10877887TC/CC and rs13293512TC/CC genotypes had a reduced risk of IS risk (adjusted OR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.36–0.95). Our findings suggest that the rs13293512 polymorphism may be a protective factor for the development of IS.
