Abstract
Interleukin-17 s (IL-17s) are well-known proinflammatory cytokines, and their antagonists perform excellently in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis. However, their physiological functions have not been given sufficient attention by clinicians. IL-17s can protect the host from extracellular pathogens, maintain epithelial integrity, regulate cognitive processes and modulate adipocyte activity through distinct mechanisms. Here, we present a systematic review concerning the physiological functions of IL-17s. Our goal is not to negate the therapeutic effect of IL-17 antagonists, but to ensure their safe use and reasonably explain the possible adverse events that may occur in their application.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unlike other U.S. geographical regions, cigarette smoking prevalence remains stagnant in rural Appalachia. One avenue for reaching rural residents with evidence-based smoking cessation treatments could be utilizing community pharmacists. This paper describes the design, rationale, and analysis plan for a mixed-method study that will determine combinations of cessation treatment components that can be integrated within community pharmacies in rural Appalachia. The aim is to quantify the individual and synergistic effects of five highly disseminable and sustainable cessation components in a factorial experiment. METHODS This sequential, mixed-method research design, based on the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework, will use a randomized controlled trial with a 25 fully crossed factorial design (32 treatment combinations) to test, alone and in combination, the most effective evidence-based cessation components: (1) QuitAid (yes vs. no) (2) tobacco quit line (yes vs. no) (3) SmokefreeTXT (yes vs. no) (4) combination NRT lozenge + NRT patch (vs. NRT patch alone), and (5) eight weeks of NRT (vs. standard four weeks). RESULTS Logistic regression will model abstinence at six-months, including indicators for the five treatment factors and all two-way interactions between the treatment factors. Demographic and smoking history variables will be considered to assess potential effect modification. Poisson regression will model quit attempts and percent of adherence to treatment components as secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION This study will provide foundational evidence on how community pharmacies in medically underserved, rural regions can be leveraged to increase utilization of existing evidence-based tobacco cessation resources for treating tobacco dependence.

Abstract
The ability to resolve the dynamics of matter on its native temporal and spatial scales constitutes a key challenge and convergent theme across chemistry, biology, and materials science. The last couple of decades have witnessed ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) emerge as one of the forefront techniques with the sensitivity to resolve atomic motions. Increasingly sophisticated UED instruments are being developed that are aimed at increasing the beam brightness in order to observe structural signatures, but so far they have been limited to low average current beams. Here, we present the technical design and capabilities of the HiRES (High Repetition-rate Electron Scattering) instrument, which blends relativistic electrons and high repetition rates to achieve orders of magnitude improvement in average beam current compared to the existing state-of-the-art instruments. The setup utilizes a novel electron source to deliver femtosecond duration electron pulses at up to MHz repetition rates for UED experiments. Instrument response function of sub-500 fs is demonstrated with < 100 fs time resolution targeted in future. We provide example cases of diffraction measurements on solid-state and gas-phase samples, including both micro- and nanodiffraction (featuring 100 nm beam size) modes, which showcase the potential of the instrument for novel UED experiments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) can result in a highly unfavourable prognosis. In recent years, the study of SAH has focused on early brain injury (EBI), which is a crucial progress that contributes to adverse prognosis. SAH can lead to various complications, including mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is an essential protein with multifaceted functionality integral to DNA repair and redox signalling. However, the role of APE1 in mitochondrial DNA damage repair after SAH is still unclear. METHODS Our study involved an in vivo endovascular perforation model in rats and an in vitro neuron oxyhaemoglobin intervention. Then, the effects of APE1 on mitochondrial DNA damage repair were analysed by western blot, immunofluorescence, quantitative real-time PCR, mitochondrial bioenergetics measurement and neurobehavioural experiments. RESULTS We found that the level of APE1 decreased while the mitochondria DNA damage and neuronal death increased in a rat model of SAH. Overexpression of APE1 improved short-term and long-term behavioural impairment in rats after SAH. In vitro, after primary neurons exposed to oxyhaemoglobin, APE1 expression significantly decreased along with increased mitochondrial DNA damage, a reduction in the subunit of respiratory chain complex levels and subsequent respiratory chain dysfunction. Overexpression of APE1 relieved energy metabolism disorders in the mitochondrial of neurons and reduced neuronal apoptosis. CONCLUSION In conclusion, APE1 is involved in EBI after SAH by affecting mitochondrial apoptosis via the mitochondrial respiratory chain. APE1 may potentially play a vital role in the EBI stage after SAH, making it a critical target for treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the treatment effects and side effects of non-surgical comprehensive treatment for locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma invading cervical esophagus. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on sixty-six patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma invade the esophagus. These patients were treated in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital between January 2011 and May 2022, including sixty-five males and one female, aged 43-71 years. Treatment regimen consisted of induction chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiothrapy and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy, three of these cases were treated with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Side effects were evaluated with the established CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) 5.0 criteria. The factors affecting prognosis were analyzed by Cox multivariate regression analysis. Results: Sixty-four (97.0%, 64/66) patients completed the radiotherapy and chemotherapy plan. The most common grade three side effects were radioactive oropharyngeal mucositis (89.1%, 57/64) and leukopenia (23.4%, 15/64). Five (7.8%, 5/64) patients showed grade three hoarseness; two patients (3.1%, 2/64) suffered from grade three swallowing dysfunction and required feeding tube and intravenous nutrition; the remaining patients(89.1%) retained good vocal and swallowing functions. The overall survival (OS) of all patients was 81.5% after one year, 54.0% after three years, and 39.9% after five years; the progression-free survival (PFS) was 78.3% after one year, 54.9% after three years, and 42.6% after five years; local control rate (LCR) was 80.9% after one year, 62.5% after three years, and 52.0% after five years. T4a patients showed better OS, PFS and LCR than T4b patients, with statistically significant differences (χ2=8.10, 8.27, and 6.64, respectively, all P<0.05). Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis was an independent factor affecting prognosis (χ2=10.21, P<0.05). Conclusion: Non-surgical comprehensive treatment can provide with another option of radical treatment for locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma with cervical esophagus invasion, offering the patients higher rate of larynx and esophageal preservation with tolerable side effects.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant and aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Therefore, the discovery of new prognostic molecular markers is of great significance for clinical prognosis. The CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR) members play a key regulatory role in many cancers. In this study, we explore the clinical value and application of the CXCR members in primary glioblastoma. Two GBM datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and The China Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases were used to explore the relationship between differential expression of CXCRs and GBM subtypes as well as immune infiltration. C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) was screened as an independent prognostic factor, and a nomogram and risk prediction model were developed and tested in the CGGA database using the TCGA database. Receiver operating curve (ROC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) found good accuracy and net benefit of the models. The correlation of CXCR4 with immune infiltration and tumor was analyzed using CancerSEA and TIMER. In in vitro experiments, we found that CXCR4 was significantly overexpressed in glioblastoma and was closely related to the inflammatory response of U251/U87 cells. CXCR4 is an excellent independent prognostic factor for glioblastoma and positively correlates with tumor inflammation.

Abstract
Background Stent retriever, contact aspiration, and combined treatment are crucial mechanical thrombectomy strategies for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Objectives The aim of this study was to compare and rank three different mechanical thrombectomy strategies for AIS due to large vessel occlusion by means of a Bayesian network meta-analysis. Design A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis based on PRISMA guidelines. Data sources and methods Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified in Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library database, and Clinicaltrials.gov from inception to 15 March 2022. We used random effect models to estimate corresponding odds ratios (ORs) and rank probabilities using pairwise and Bayesian network meta-analysis. We applied the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) methodology to rate the certainty of evidence. Results We identified 10 RCTs enrolling 2098 participants. As for modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2, moderate certainty evidence established all mechanical thrombectomy strategies that were more effective than standard medical treatment [combined: log OR 0.9288, 95% credibility intervals (CrI) 0.1268-1.7246; contact aspiration: log OR 0.9507, 95% CrI 0.3361-1.5688; stent retriever: log OR 1.0919, 95% CrI 0.6127-1.5702]. The same applied to mRS 0-3 (combined: log OR 0.9603, 95% CrI 0.2122-1.7157; contact aspiration: log OR 0.7554, 95% CrI 0.1769-1.3279; stent retriever: log OR 1.0046, 95% CrI 0.6001-1.4789). Combined treatment was superior to stent retriever in substantial reperfusion (log OR 0.8921, 95% CrI 0.2105-1.5907, high certainty). Stent retriever had the highest probability of being optimal for mRS 0-2 and mRS 0-3. Standard medical treatment had the lowest risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage. For all other outcomes, combined treatment was most likely the best treatment. Conclusion Our results indicated that, with the exception of functional outcome, combined treatment might be the outstanding strategy. Apart from subarachnoid hemorrhage, all three mechanical thrombectomy strategies proved better strategies than standard medical treatment. Registration PROSPERO (CRD42022351878).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex differences affect the occurrence, progression and regression of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Oestrogen plays a protective role in alleviating the vasospasm and neuronal apoptosis induced by SAH. However, whether oestrogen affects blood‒brain barrier (BBB) integrity has not been fully studied. Oestrogen has been found to regulate the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signalling pathway through the oestrogen receptor in gastric cancer and adrenal glands, and the SHH signalling pathway has an important role in maintaining the BBB by upregulating the expression of tight junction proteins. In this study, we investigated the relationship between oestrogen and the SHH signalling pathway using clinical data and established an experimental SAH model to explore whether oestrogen could ameliorate BBB damage after SAH through the SHH pathway. METHODS Correlations between oestrogen and the SHH pathway were analysed by patients' cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and the Genotype-Tissue Expression database (GTEx). Then, an experimental rat SAH model was established using the endovascular perforation method and treated with oestrogen, oestrogen inhibitors and SHH signalling pathway inhibitors. Then, the effects of oestrogen on BBB damage were analysed by western blot, immunofluorescence and neurobehavioural experiments. RESULTS ESLIA detection and correlation analysis showed that oestrogen levels in patients' CSF were positively correlated with the SHH pathway, which was further verified by GTEx gene-correlation analysis. SHH was found to be mainly expressed in neurons and astrocytes in rats under physiological conditions and was upregulated by oestrogen pretreatment. In the SAH model, oestrogen pretreatment was found to reverse SAH-induced decreases in the SHH pathway, which were counteracted by oestrogen receptor inhibitors. Furthermore, oestrogen pretreatment reduced SAH-induced BBB damage, brain oedema and neurological dysfunction, which were eliminated by SHH pathway inhibitors. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we demonstrate here that oestrogen pretreatment ameliorates brain injury after SAH, at least in part through SHH pathway-mediated BBB protection.

Abstract
Remote Ischemic Postconditioning (RIPostC) has become a research hotspot due to its protective effect on the brain in clinical studies related to ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study is to investigate the protective effect of RIPostC after ischemic stroke in rats. The middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was established by the wire embolization method. RIPostC was obtained by inducing temporary ischemia in the hind limbs of rats. First, based on the results of short-term behavioral measures and long-term neurological function experiments, RIPostC was found to have a protective effect on the MCAO/R model and to improve neurological recovery in rats. Compared to the sham group, RIPostC upregulated the expression levels of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4) in the brain and stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1α) in peripheral blood. In addition, RIPostC upregulated CXCR4 expression on CD34+ stem cells in peripheral blood in flow cytometric assays. Meanwhile, according to the results of EdU/DCX co-staining and CD31 staining, it was found that the effect of RIPostC on ameliorating brain injury via SDF-1α/CXCR4 signaling axis may be associated with vascular neogenesis. Finally, after inhibiting the SDF-1α/CXCR4 signaling axis using AMD3100(Plerixafor), we found that the neuroprotective effect of RIPostC was diminished. Taken together, RIPostC can improve neurobehavioral damage induced by MCAO/R in rats, and its mechanism may be related to SDF-1α/CXCR4 signaling axis. Therefore, RIPostC can be used as an intervention strategy for stroke. SDF-1α/CXCR4 signaling axis can also be a potential target for intervention.

Abstract
Background Thyroid cancer has low incidence and mortality. While metastatic cancer is the most common type of intracranial cancer, patients with intracranial metastases from thyroid cancer very rarely present with seizures. Here, we describe a case study and review the neurological symptoms and histopathology of intracranial metastases from thyroid cancer. Case Description A 38-year-old woman was diagnosed with intracranial metastases from papillary thyroid cancer, with the chief symptom being generalized seizures. The bilateral frontal masses were completely resected in 2 operations, after which the patient was treated with whole-brain radiotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). It has now been over 13 years since thyroid cancer resection and 51 months since she was diagnosed with intracranial metastases from papillary thyroid cancer. The long-term survival might be due to the effective and prompt treatment. Through literature review, we found the incidence of intracranial metastases from different subtypes of thyroid cancer to be inconsistent with epidemiological findings in thyroid cancer. Conclusions Intracranial metastases of thyroid cancer should be considered when the patient has a history of thyroid cancer with seizures. A combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and TKI drugs may prolong survival.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with circadian rhythm abnormalities, in which REV-ERBα plays a major regulatory role. Our ambition was to investigate the capacity of REV-ERBα to inhibit neuronal neuroapoptosis induced by early brain injury (EBI) after SAH. The endovascular perforation model was used to produce experimental SAH in Sprague-Dawley rats. Specific small-interfering RNA was used to downregulate the expression REV-ERBα while SR9009 was used to upregulate the expression before assessments. Short- and long-term neurobehavior assessments, immunofluorescence staining, TUNEL staining, Nissl staining, brain water content, and Western blot were performed. The expression level of endogenous REVERBα tended to increase and then decrease after SAH and peaked at 48 h. REV-ERBα upregulation diminished neuronal apoptosis and enhanced neurological function deficits. Meanwhile, REV-ERBα downregulation aggravated the damage. Furthermore, the levels of downstream proteins of REV-ERBα (i.e., brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1) and circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK)) changed accordingly with REV-ERBα regulation. REV-ERBα may attenuate neuronal apoptosis in EBI after SAH through the BMAL1/CLOCK pathway.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential mucolipin-1 (TRPML1) is the most abundantly and widely expressed channel protein in the TRP family. While numerous studies have been conducted involving many aspects of TRPML1, such as its role in cell biology, oncology, and neurodegenerative diseases, there are limited reports about what role it plays in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced secondary brain injury (SBI). Here we examined the function of TRPML1 in ICH-induced SBI. The caudal arterial blood of rats was injected into the caudate nucleus of basal ganglia to establish an experimental ICH model. We observed that lentivirus downregulated the expression level of TRPML1 and chemical agonist promoted the enzyme activity of TRPML1. The results indicated that the protein levels of TRPML1 in brain tissues increased 24 h after ICH. These results suggested that downregulated TRPML1 could significantly reduce inflammatory cytokines, and ICH induced the production of LDH and ROS. Furthermore, TRPML1 knockout relieved ICH-induced neuronal cell death and degeneration, and declines in learning and memory after ICH could be improved by downregulating the expression of TRPML1. In addition, chemical agonist-expressed TRPML1 showed the opposite effect and exacerbated SBI after ICH. In summary, this study demonstrated that TRPML1 contributed to brain injury after ICH, and downregulating TRPML1 could improve ICH-induced SBI, suggesting a potential target for ICH therapy.

Abstract
Background and objectives Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) thrombolysis is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Hyperglycemia is a major risk factor for the occurrence, development, and prognosis of ischemic stroke. This meta-analysis purposefully estimates the association between hyperglycemia and poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke patients receiving intravenous rtPA thrombolytic therapy. Materials and methods According to the predefined inclusion criteria, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. The association of high blood glucose(>140mg/dl) with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), poor clinical outcome and mortality at 90 days post-rtPA thrombolysis was studied using both a common effects model and a random effects model. Odds ratios (ORs) were plotted on forest plots. Results Of a total cohort of 2565 patients who received intravenous thrombolytic therapy, 721 had higher blood glucose. High glucose level significantly increased the odds of sICH (OR 1.80; 95% confidence interval(95%CI): 1.30- 2.50) and poor clinical outcome at 90 days (OR 1.82; 95%CI: 1.52-2.19), and all-cause mortality at 90 days (OR 2.51; 95%CI:1.65-3.82). Conclusions In our meta-analysis, high blood glucose was significantly associated with sICH, poor clinical outcome and higher mortality at 90 days.

Abstract
Introduction: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common mental health problem after cerebrovascular accidents. There are several treatments that have been shown to be effective in treating post-stroke depression. However, it is not clear which treatment is more effective. Methods: In this meta-analysis, an appropriate search strategy was used to search eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on different treatments to treat patients with Post-stroke depression published up to December 2021 from the CNKI, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. We assessed the mean difference or odds ratio between each treatment and placebo and summarized them as the average and 95% confidence interval (CI) by conducting Bayesian network meta-analyses. Results: By constructing a Bayesian network meta-analysis, we found that acupuncture combined with fluoxetine (vs placebo MD, -8.9; 95% CI, [-15, -2.9]) or paroxetine (vs placebo MD,-8.5; 95% CI, [-15, -2.5]) was the most effective for change in Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) at the end of the 4th week. For change in Hamilton depression scale at the end of the 8th week, rTMS combined with paroxetine (vs placebo MD, -13; 95% CI, [-17, -7.9]) had the greatest amount of change. The efficacy of medication combined with adjuvant therapy was also superior for the percentage of patients with Hamilton depression scale change over 50%. Discussion: The combination of antidepressants with adjuvant therapy may enhance the efficacy of antidepressants and achieve better results than antidepressant monotherapy in both Hamilton depression scale changes at the end of week 4 or 8 and 50% Hamilton depression scale improvement rate. Acupuncture combined with fluoxetine treatment was more effective in the treatment of post-stroke depression at week 4, while rTMS combined with paroxetine was more effective at week 8. Further research is needed to determine whether acupuncture combined with fluoxetine is better than rTMS combined with paroxetine for post-stroke depression at week 8.

Abstract
Posterior circulation aneurysms have been regarded as the most challenging for endovascular coiling and microsurgical occlusion. The role of microsurgical treatment is gradually being overlooked and diminishing in the trend of endovascular treatment. As microsurgical occlusion of posterior circulation aneurysms is decreasing, we present our relevant experience to evaluate treatment options and surgical approaches. A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between 2016 and 2021. Patients with posterior circulation aneurysms treated by clipping, bypass, and trapping were enrolled and followed up for at least six months. We included 50 patients carrying 53 posterior circulation aneurysms, 43 of whom had aneurysm ruptures. The posterior cerebral artery and posterior inferior cerebellar artery were the most common aneurysm locations. Direct clipping was performed in 43 patients, while bypass and trapping was performed in six patients. The retrosigmoid, far-lateral, and midline or paramedian suboccipital approaches were performed for those aneurysms in the middle and lower thirds. Aneurysms in the upper third required the lateral supraorbital approach, pterional approach, subtemporal approach, and occipital craniotomy. The lateral supraorbital approach was utilized in seven patients for aneurysms above the posterior clinoid process. Thirty-four patients recovered well with modified Rankin score 0-3 at discharge. No patient experienced aneurysm recurrence during the mean follow-up period of 3.57 years. Microsurgery clipping and bypass should be considered in conjunction with endovascular treatment as a treatment option in posterior circulation aneurysms. The lateral supraorbital approach is a feasible, safe, and simple surgical approach for aneurysms above the posterior clinoid process.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in ischemic penumbra is accountable for poor outcome of ischemic stroke patients receiving recanalization therapy. Compelling evidence previously demonstrated a dual role of autophagy in stroke. This study aimed to understand the traits of autophagy in the ischemic penumbra and the potential mechanism that switches the dual role of autophagy. We found that autophagy induction by rapamycin and lithium carbonate performed before ischemia reduced neurologic deficits and infarction, while autophagy induction after reperfusion had the opposite effect in the male murine middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model, both of which were eliminated in mice lacking autophagy (Atg7flox/flox; Nestin-Cre). Autophagic flux determination showed that reperfusion led to a blockage of axonal autophagosome retrograde transport in neurons, which then led to autophagic flux damage. Then, we found that I/R induced changes in the protein levels of Sec22b and Ykt6 in neurons, two autophagosome transport-related factors, in which Sec22b significantly increased and Ykt6 significantly decreased. In the absence of exogenous autophagy induction, Sec22b knock-down and Ykt6 overexpression significantly alleviated autophagic flux damage, infarction, and neurologic deficits in neurons or murine exposed to cerebral I/R in an autophagy-dependent manner. Furthermore, Sec22b knock-down and Ykt6 overexpression switched the outcome of rapamycin posttreatment from deterioration to neuroprotection. Thus, Sec22b and Ykt6 play key roles in neuronal autophagic flux, and modest regulation of Sec22b and Ykt6 may help to reverse the failure of targeting autophagy induction to improve the prognosis of ischemic stroke.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The highly polarized architecture of neurons with neurites presents challenges for material transport, such as autophagosomes, which form at the neurite tip and need to be transported to the cell soma for degradation. Here, we demonstrate that Sec22b and Ykt6 act as autophagosome porters and play an important role in maintaining the integrity of neuronal autophagic flux. Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced excess Sec22b and loss of Ykt6 in neurons lead to axonal autophagosome retrograde trafficking failure, autophagic flux damage, and finally neuronal injury. Facilitated axonal autophagosome retrograde transport by Sec22b knock-down and Ykt6 overexpression may reduce I/R-induced neuron injury and extend the therapeutic window of pharmacological autophagy induction for neuroprotection.

Abstract
Aim The aim was to study the role of Rph3A in neuronal injury induced by cerebral ischemia‐reperfusion. Methods The protein and mRNA levels of Rph3A in penumbra were detected by Western blot. The localization of Rph3A in different cell types in penumbra was detected by immunofluorescence. Apoptosis in the brain was detected by TUNEL staining. We tested neurobehavioral evaluation using rotarod test, adhesive‐removal test, and Morris Water maze test. We examined the expression and localization of Rph3A in cultured neurons and astrocytes in vitro by Western blot and ELISA, respectively. Results The mRNA and protein levels of Rph3A had significantly increased in brain penumbra of the rat MCAO/R model. Rph3A was mainly distributed in neurons and astrocytes and was significantly increased by MCAO/R. We downregulated Rph3A and found that it further worsened the cerebral infarct, neuronal death and behavioral, cognitive, and memory impairments in rats after MCAO/R. We also found that ischemia‐reperfusion upregulated the in vitro protein level and secretion of Rph3A in astrocytes but led to a decrease in the protein level of Rph3A in neurons. Conclusion The increase in Rph3A in the brain penumbra may be an endogenous protective mechanism against ischemia‐reperfusion injury, which is mainly dominated by astrocytes.

Abstract
Introduction There is a growing consensus on brain networks that it is not immutable but rather a dynamic complex system for adapting environment. The neuroimaging research studying how brain regions work collaboratively with dynamic methods had demonstrated its effectiveness in revealing the neural mechanisms of schizophrenia. Objectives To investigate altered dynamic brain functional topology in first-episode untreated schizophrenia patients (SZs) and establish classification models to find objective brain imaging biomarkers. Methods Resting-state-functional magnetic resonance data for SZs and matched healthy controls were obtained(Table1). ![]()
Power-264-template was used to extract nodes and sliding-window approach was carried out to establish functional connectivity matrices. Functional topology was assessed by eigenvector centrality(EC) and node efficiency and its time-fluctuating was evaluated with coefficient of variation(CV). Group differences of dynamic topology and correlation analysis between Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS) scores and topology indices showing group differences, which also were used in establishing classification models, was examed. Results The CV of node efficiency in angular and paracingulate gyrus was larger in SZs. There are 13 nodes assigned into several brain networks displaying altered CV of EC between groups(Figure1.A). Fluctuation of EC of the node in DMN, which was lower in SZs, showed negative correlation with PANSS total scores(Figure1.B). Dynamic functional topology of above nodes was used to train classification models and demonstrated 80% and 71% accuracy for support vector classification(SVC) and random forest(RF), respectively(Figure2). ![]()

Conclusions Dynamic functional topology illustrated a capability in identifying SZs. Aberrated dynamics of DMN relevant to severity of patient’s symptoms could reveal the reason why it contributed to classification. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Introduction
Apart from the psychiatric symptoms, cognitive deficits are also the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Brain network control theory provided information on the role of a specific brain region in the cognitive control process, helping understand the neural mechanism of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.
Objectives
To characterize the control properties of functional brain network in first-episode untreated patients with schizophrenia and the relationships between controllability and psychiatric symptoms, as well as exploring the predictive value of controllability in differentiating patients from healthy controls (HCs).
Methods
Average and modal controllability of brain networks were calculated and compared between 133 first-episode untreated patients with schizophrenia and 135 HCs. The associations between controllability and clinical symptoms were evaluated using sparse canonical correlation analysis. Support vector machine (SVM) and SVM-recursive feature elimination combined with the controllability were performed to establish the individual prediction model.
Results
Compared to HCs, the patients with schizophrenia showed increased average controllability and decreased modal controllability in dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). Brain controllability predominantly in somatomotor, default mode, and visual networks was associated with the positive symptomatology of schizophrenia. The established model could identify patients with an accuracy of 0.68. Furthermore, the most discriminative features were located in dACC, medial prefrontal lobe, precuneus and superior temporal gyrus.
Conclusions
Altered controllability in dACC may play a critical role in the neuropathological mechanisms of cognitive deficit in schizophrenia, which could drive the brain function to different states to cope with varied cognitive tasks. As symptom-related biomarkers, controllability could be also beneficial to individual prediction in schizophrenia.

Abstract
RUN and FYVE domain-containing 3 (Rufy3) is a well-known adapter protein of a small GTPase protein family and is bound to the activated Ras family protein to maintain neuronal polarity. However, in experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the role of Rufy3 has not been investigated. Consequently, we aimed to investigate the potential role of Rufy3 in an in vivo model of SAH-induced early brain injury (EBI). In addition, we investigated the relevant brain-protective mechanisms. Oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) stimulation of cultured primary neurons simulated vitro SAH condition. The SAH rat model was induced by infusing autologous blood into the optic chiasma pool and treating the rats with lentivirus-negative control 1 (LV-NC1), lentivirus-Rufy3 shRNA (LV-shRNA), lentivirus-negative control 2 (LV-NC2), lentivirus-Rufy3 (LV-Rufy3), or 8-pCPT-2′-O-Me-cAMP (8p-CPT) (Rap1 agonist). In experiment one, we found that the protein level of Rufy3 decreased and neuronal axon injury in the injured neurons but was rectified by LV-Rufy3 treatment. In experiment two, mRNA and protein levels of Rufy3 were downregulated in brain tissue and reached the lowest level at 24 h after SAH. In addition, the expression of Myelin Basic Protein was downregulated and that of anti-hypophosphorylated neurofilament H (N52) was upregulated after SAH. In experiments three and four, Rufy3 overexpression (LV-Rufy3) increased the interactions between Rufy3 and Rap1, the level of Rap1-GTP, and the ratio of Rap1-GTP/total GTP. In addition, LV-Rufy3 treatment inhibited axon injury and accelerated axon repair by activating the Rap1/Arap3/Rho/Fascin signaling pathway accompanied by upregulated protein expression levels of ARAP3, Rho, Fascin, and Facin. LV-Rufy3 also enhanced synaptic plasticity by activating the Rap1/MEK/ERK/synapsin I signaling pathway accompanied by upregulated protein expression levels of ERK1, p-ERK1, MEK1, p-MEK1, synaspin I, and p-synaspin I. Moreover, LV-Rufy3 also alleviated brain damage indicators, including cortical neuronal cell apoptosis and degeneration, brain edema, and cognitive impairment after SAH. However, the downregulation of Rufy3 had the opposite effect and aggravated EBI induced by SAH. Notably, the combined application of LV-Rufy3 and 8p-CPT showed a significant synergistic effect on the aforementioned parameters. Our findings suggest that enhanced Rufy3 expression may reduce EBI by inhibiting axon injury and promoting neuronal axon repair and synaptic plasticity after SAH.

Abstract
Neuronal mitochondrial dynamics are disturbed after ischemic stroke. Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) and its GTPase activity are involved in maintaining mitochondrial cristae and inner membrane fusion. This study aimed to explore the role of OMA1-mediated OPA1 cleavage (S1-OPA1) in neurons exposed to cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. After oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) for 60 min, we found that mitochondrial fragmentation occurred successively in the axon and soma of neurons, accompanied by an increase in S1-OPA1. In addition, S1-OPA1 overexpression significantly aggravated mitochondrial damage in neurons exposed to OGD for 60 min and 24 h after OGD/R, characterized by mitochondrial fragmentation, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial cristae ultrastructural damage, increased superoxide production, decreased ATP production and increased mitochondrial apoptosis, which was inhibited by the lysine 301 to alanine mutation (K301A). Furthermore, we performed neuron-specific overexpression of S1-OPA1 in the cerebral cortex around ischemia of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) mice. The results further demonstrated in vivo that S1-OPA1 exacerbated neuronal mitochondrial ultrastructural destruction and injury induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, while S1-OPA1-K301 overexpression had no effect. In conclusion, ischemia induced neuronal OMA1-mediated cleavage of OPA1 at the S1 site. S1-OPA1 aggravated neuronal mitochondrial fragmentation and damage in a GTPase-dependent manner, and participated in neuronal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a common autoimmune disease with acquired neuromuscular transmission disorders. Recently, monoclonal antibodies have been shown to successfully treat a variety of diseases. Methods: In this meta-analysis, an appropriate search strategy was used to search eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on different monoclonal antibodies to treat patients with MG published up to September 2021 from the embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. We assessed the average difference or odds ratio between each drug and placebo and summarized them as the average and 95% confidence interval (CI), respectively. Results: In indicators of efficacy, patients receiving eculizumab (MD, −1.9; 95% CI, −3.2–0.76) had decreases in MG-ADL scores compared to placebo. In addition, only eculizumab (MD, −3.1; 95% CI, −4.7–1.5) and efgartigimod (MD, −1.4; 95% CI, −2.1–0.68) showed a significant difference from placebo in the amount of reduction in QMG scores, while neither of the other two monoclonal antibodies was statistically significant. With regard to the safety of monoclonal antibody therapy, there was no significant difference in the probability of AE in subjects treated with any of the four monoclonal antibodies compared to placebo. Conclusions: eculizumab was effective in reducing MG-ADL scores and QMG scores in myasthenia gravis. Meanwhile, eculizumab also caused fewer AE. As an emerging therapy, monoclonal antibodies are prospective in the treatment of MG. However, more researches are required to be invested in the future as the results obtained from small sample sizes are not reliable enough.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, chronic, progressive, debilitating neurodegenerative disease. The current levodopa treatment requires the addition of other drugs, such as catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors, to alleviate motor fluctuations in advanced PD. Therefore, a theoretical reference for treatment is urgently needed. In this study, an appropriate search strategy was used to screen eligible studies on different drugs to treat patients with PD from the Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. The publication dates were from January 1990 to June 2021. We integrated eligible randomized controlled trials, and statistical analysis was performed on three kinds of effectiveness outcomes and two types of safety outcomes. We assessed the average difference or odds ratio between each drug and placebo and summarized them as the average and 95% confidence interval (CI), respectively. In terms of efficacy, entacapone (mean difference [MD], 0.64 h; 95% CI, 0.29–1.0), opicapone (MD, 0.92 h; 95% CI, 0.35–1.5), and tolcapone (MD, 3.2 h; 95% CI, 2.1–4.2) increased patients' total ON-time compared to placebo. Tolcapone (MD, −100 mg; 95% CI −160 to −45) reduced the total daily dose of levodopa therapy. None of these three drugs was found to have statistical significance in mean change from baseline in UPDRS part III scores when compared with others. In terms of safety, tolcapone (MD, 3.8; 95% CI, 2.1–6.8), opicapone (MD, 3.7; 95% CI, 2–7.2), and entacapone (MD, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.5–3.3) increased the number of cases of dyskinesia compared to placebo. Entacapone (MD, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.3–2.2) and tolcapone (MD, 4.3; 95% CI, 1.3–15) were more likely to cause adverse events than placebo. In conclusion, opicapone showed higher efficiency and fewer safety problems in five indicators we selected when compared with the other two drugs.

Abstract
Background Indocyanine green video angiography (ICG–VA) is a safe and effective instrument to assess changes in cerebral blood flow during cerebrovascular surgery. After ICG-VA, FLOW 800 provides a color-coded map to directly observe the dynamic distribution of blood flow and to calculate semiquantitative blood flow parameters later. The purpose of our study is to assess whether FLOW 800 is useful for surgery of complex intracranial aneurysms and to provide reliable evidence for intraoperative decision-making. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with complex aneurysms that underwent microsurgical and intraoperative evaluation of ICG-VA and FLOW 800 color-coded maps from February 2019 to May 2020. FLOW 800 data were correlated with patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and intraoperative decision-making. Results The study included 32 patients with 42 complex aneurysms. All patients underwent ICG-VA FLOW 800 data provided semiquantitative data regarding localization, flow status in major feeding arteries; color maps confirmed relative adequate flow in parent, branching, and bypass vessels. Conclusions FLOW 800 is a useful supplement to ICG-VA for intraoperative cerebral blood flow assessment. ICG-VA and FLOW 800 can help to determine the blood flow status of the parent artery after aneurysm clipping and the bypass vessels after aneurysm bypass surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of primary liver cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 10 966 surgically managed cases with primary liver cancer, from January 1986 to December 2019 at Hepatobiliary Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, were retrospectively analyzed. The life table method was used to calculate the survival rate and postoperative recurrence rate. Log-rank test was used to compare the survival process of different groups, and the Cox regression model was used for multivariate analysis. In addition, 2 884 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with more detailed follow-up data from 2009 to 2019 were selected for survival analysis. Among 2 549 patients treated with hepatectomy, there were 2 107 males and 442 females, with an age of (56.6±11.1) years (range: 20 to 86 years). Among 335 patients treated with liver transplantation, there were 292 males and 43 females, with an age of (51.0±9.7) years (range: 21 to 73 years). The outcomes of hepatectomy versus liver transplantation, anatomic versus non-anatomic hepatectomy were compared, respectively. Results: Of the 10 966 patients with primary liver cancer, 10 331 patients underwent hepatectomy and 635 patients underwent liver transplantation. Patients with liver resection were categorized into three groups: 1986-1995(712 cases), 1996-2008(3 988 cases), 2009‒2019(5 631 cases). The 5-year overall survival rate was 32.9% in the first group(1986-1995). The 5-year overall survival rate of resected primary liver cancer was 51.7% in the third group(2009-2019), among which the 5-year overal survival rates of hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and mixed liver cancer were 57.4%, 26.6% and 50.6%, respectively. Further analysis was performed on 2 549 HCC patients with primary hepatectomy. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival rates were 88.1%, 71.9%, 60.0%, and 41.0%, respectively, and the perioperative mortality rate was 1.0%. Two hundred and forty-seven HCC patients underwent primary liver transplantation, with 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival rates of 84.0%, 64.8%, 61.9%, and 57.6%, respectively. Eighty-eight HCC patients underwent salvage liver transplantation, with the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival rates of 86.8%, 65.2%, 52.5%, and 52.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference in survival rates between the two groups with liver transplantation (P>0.05). Comparing the overall survival rates and recurrence rates of primary hepatectomy (2 549 cases) with primary liver transplantation (247 cases), the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival rates in patients within Milan criteria treated with hepatectomy and transplantation were 96.3%, 87.1%, 76.9%, 54.7%, and 95.4%, 79.4%, 77.4%, 71.7%, respectively (P=0.754). The 1-, 3-, 5-year recurrence rates were 16.3%, 35.9%, 47.6% and 8.1%, 11.7%, 13.9%, respectively(P<0.01). The 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-year overall survival rates in patients with no large vessels invasion beyond the Milan criteria treated with liver resection and transplantation were 87.2%, 65.9%, 53.0%, 33.0% and 87.6%, 71.8%, 71.8%, 69.3%, respectively(P=0.003); the 1-, 3-, 5-year recurrence rate were 39.2%, 57.8%, 69.7% and 29.7%, 36.7%, 36.7%, respectively (P<0.01). The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival rates in patients with large vessels invasion treated with liver resection and transplantation were 62.1%, 36.1%, 22.2%, 15.0% and 62.9%, 31.8%,19.9%, 0, respectively (P=0.387); the 1-, 3-, 5-year recurrence rates were 61.5%, 74.7%, 80.8% and 59.7%, 82.9%, 87.2%, respectively(P=0.909). Independent prognostic factors for both overall survival and recurrence-free survival rates of HCC patients treated with liver resection included gender, neoadjuvant therapy, symptoms, AST, intraoperative or postoperative blood transfusion, tumor number, tumor size, cirrhosis, macrovascular invasion, microvascular invasion, and pathological differentiation. Propensity score matching analysis of 443 pairs further showed that there was no significant difference in overall survival rate between anatomical liver resection and non-anatomical liver resection(P=0.895), but the recurrence rate of non-anatomical liver resection was higher than that of anatomical liver resection(P=0.035). Conclusions: In the past decade, the overall survival rate of HCC undergoing surgical treatment is significantly higher than before. For HCC patients with good liver function reservation, surgical resection can be performed first, and salvage liver transplantation can be performed after recurrence. The effect of salvage liver transplantation is comparable to that of primary liver transplantation. As for the choice of liver resection approaches, non-anatomical resection can reserve more liver tissue and can be selected as long as the negative margin is guaranteed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) fusion imaging has been proved to be a promising neurosurgical tool for presurgical evaluation of tumor removal. We aim to develop a scoring system based on this new tool to predict the resection grade of medial sphenoid wing meningiomas (mSWM) intuitively. METHODS We included 46 patients treated for mSWM from 2014 to 2019 to evaluate their tumors' location, volume, cavernous sinus involvement, vascular encasement, and bone invasion by 3D multimodality fusion imaging. A scoring system based on the significant parameters detected by statistical analysis was created and evaluated. RESULTS The tumor volumes ranged from 0.8 cm3 to 171.9 cm3. A total of 39 (84.8%) patients had arterial involvement. Cavernous sinus (CS) involvement was observed in 23 patients (50.0%) and bone invasion was noted in 10 patients (21.7%). Simpson I resection was achieved in 10 patients (21.7%) and Simpson II resection was achieved in 17 patients (37.0%). Fifteen patients (32.6%) underwent Simpson III resection and 4 patients (8.7%) underwent Simpson IV resections. A scoring system was created. The score ranged from 1 to 10 and the mean score of our patients was 5.3 ± 2.8. Strong positive monotonic correlation existed between the score and resection grade (Rs = 0.772, P < 0.001). The scoring system had good predictive capacity with an accuracy of 69.60%. CONCLUSIONS We described a scoring system that enabled neurosurgeons to predict extent of resection and outcomes for mSWM preoperatively with 3D multimodality fusion imaging. TRIAL REGISTRATION Retrospectively registered.

Abstract
The cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB)-regulated transcription coactivator 3 (CRTC3) is a member of the CRTC protein family and plays an important role in energy metabolism. The aim of this study was to determine if the expression of porcine CRTC3 is related to intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition and meat quality in Heigai pigs (a local fatty breed in China) and Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire (DLY) pigs (a lean crossbred pig widely cultured in China). In addition, the effect of ectopic expression of CRTC3 on gene expression in porcine IMF adipocytes was also examined. Our results showed that Heigai pigs had lower lean percentage, thicker back fat thickness and smaller loin muscle area than DLY pigs. Compared with DLY pigs, Heigai pigs had higher marbling scores, better meat color and higher IMF contents and triglyceride concentrations. Higher levels of oxidative metabolic enzyme and expression of the slow oxidative muscle fiber-related genes were observed in longissimus dorsi muscle and psoas major muscle (P < 0.05) from Heigai pigs. Notably, CRTC3 and adipocyte-specific marker genes were highly expressed in muscle tissues of Heigai pigs. The expression of lipolysis-related genes ATGL and HSL were lower in Heigai muscles. Moreover, forced expression of CRTC3 promoted lipid accumulation and increased the expression of PPARγ, C/EBPα, leptin and FABP4 (P < 0.05), whereas it decreased the expression of ATGL and HSL in IMF adipocytes. These results suggest that CRTC3 expression is associated with lipid accumulation and IMF deposition in pigs.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) for early prediction of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after PCI. Methods: It was a prospective study. One hundred and sixty-four patients who had single coronary lesion were consecutively enrolled from May 2014 to December 2017 at Nanjing Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. According to clinical manifestation, patients were divided into SAP group (n=81) and ACS group (n=83). IMR was determined by thermal dilution with pressure guide wire. Basic clinical characteristics, coronary angiographic results, PCI procedural details, IMR after PCI, ΔIMR (IMR=post-PCI-IMR pre-PCI), levels of myocardial biomarkers before and after PCI were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relation of PMI with IMR and ΔIMR, and the predictive ability was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Results: The levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher in ACS group than in SAP group (P<0.05), other clinical data at baseline were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) results and PCI related data were also similar between the two groups before PCI (P>0.05). Values of mean transit time (Tmn) of intracoronary injection with room temperature saline, post-PCI IMR and ΔIMR were significantly higher in ACS group than in SAP group after PCI (P<0.05). Plasma creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB difference (ΔCK-MB) (ΔCK-MB=CK-MB post-PCI-CK-MB pre-PCI) and cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) difference (ΔcTnI=cTnI post-PCI-cTnI pre-PCI) were significantly larger in ACS group than in SAP group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that coronary artery disease (CHD) type (SAP and ACS) (OR=1.301, 95%CI 1.083-1.562), age (OR=1.007, 95%CI 1.000-1.013), ΔIMR (OR=1.009, 95%CI 1.000-1.017) and post-PCI IMR (OR=1.008, 95%CI 1.001-1.014) were independent predictors of PMI (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of ΔIMR was 0.763 to predict PMI (P<0.05), the optimum cut-off value of ΔIMR was 5.485 with 70.0% sensitivity and 77.4% specificity. ΔIMR was positively correlated with ΔcTnI (r=0.592, P<0.05). Conclusions: ΔIMR serves as an early predictor of PMI in CHD patients after PCI. As compared with SAP patients, ACS patients are more likely to develop PMI.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of KLF3 on the expression of STAT3 in breast cancer cells, and to explore the potential mechanism of KLF3 affecting the movement, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Methods: Firstly, the expression of STAT3 was detected by Western blot, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, luciferase reporter system and chromatin immunoprecipitation in breast cancer cells. Secondly, the STAT3 promoter mutant was constructed. The plasmid further confirmed the effect of KLF3 on the activity of STAT3 promoter; the cell scratching test and Transwell method were used to detect the ability of cell movement, migration and invasion. Finally, animal experiments were conducted to verify the effect of knockdown of KLF3 on tumor metastasis in animals. Results: In breast cancer cells, knockdown of KLF3 promoted STAT3 protein expression. The mRNA level of STAT3 was increased by (3.58±0.65) fold after knockdown of KLF3 in MDA-MB-231 cells, while the mRNA level of STAT3 was increased by (2.28±0.19) fold after KLF3 knockdown in MCF-7 cells (P<0.001). KLF3 boundto the promoter region of STAT3. The transcriptional activity of STAT3 increased by (2.47±0.87) fold after knockdown of KLF3 in MDA-MB-231 cells, while the transcriptional activity of STAT3 increased by (2.63±0.65) fold after KLF3 knockdown in MCF-7 cells, P<0.01. KLF3 knockdown inhibitedthe movement,migrate and invade of breast cancer cells. Based on this, silence STAT3 partially reversed the function of KLF3. Knockdown of KLF3 promotedtumor metastasis in mice. Conclusions: KLF3 knockdown can promote the transcriptional activity of STAT3, which promotes the protein expression of the latter. KLF3 can affect the movement, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells through STAT3. KLF3 may be a potential target for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
Background: The role of intrathecal fibrinolysis for the treatment of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has been widely investigated; however, the results have been contradictory. In our study, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intrathecal (intracisternal or intraventricular) fibrinolysis for aSAH. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, and the Cochrane library databases were searched up to February 1, 2019. The outcomes analyzed were neurologic recovery, delayed ischemic neurologic deficit (DIND), mortality, and the incidence of chronic hydrocephalus and hemorrhage. Results: A total of 21 studies comprising 1,373 patients were analyzed, including nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 12 non-RCTs. The results showed that intracisternal fibrinolysis significantly decreased poor neurologic outcomes (RR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.50–0.76, P < 0.001) and reduced the incidence of DIND (RR = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.41–0.65, P <0.001), chronic hydrocephalus (RR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.42–0.82, P = 0.002) and mortality (RR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.37, 0.93, P = 0.02). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of hemorrhage. Moreover, the results of the Egger test and Begg's funnel plot showed no evidence of publication bias. Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that intracisternal fibrinolysis has beneficial effects on the clinical outcomes of patients with aSAH. However, further well-designed randomized trials are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of intracisternal fibrinolysis for the treatment of aSAH.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the correlation between serum inflammatory cytokine levels including high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and lipoprotein associated phospholipase (Lp-PLA2) and the fibrous cap thickness of fibrofatty plaque in coronary culprit lesions. Methods: Clinical data of 117 patients with selective coronary artery angiography diagnosed coronary artery disease admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to January 2016 were retrospective analyzed. According to type of coronary disease, patients were divided into 3 subgroups: SAP group (containing 47 stable angina patients), UAP group (containing 52 unstable angina patients), and NSTEMI group(containing 18 acute non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients). Serum hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 levels were measured before subsequent procedures. The characteristics of the culprit lesions were detected by optical coherence tomogarpgy(OCT) before interventional treatment, and the correlation between hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 and the fibrous cap thickness of fibrofatty plaque in coronary culprit lesions were analyzed. Results: (1) The serum levels of hs-CRP (2.13(1.04, 4.75)μg/L vs. 1.02(0.60, 1.29)μg/L and 1.30(1.03, 1.96)μg/L, all P<0.05) and Lp-PLA2 ((394.8±61.4)mg/L vs. (140.1±40.4)mg/L and (284.5±93.6)mg/L, all P<0.05) were significantly higher in NSTEMI group than in SAP group and UAP group, and serum levels of hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 were significantly higher in UAP group than in SAP group (all P<0.05). (2)The fibrous cap thickness of fibrofatty plaque in coronary culprit lesions were smaller in NSTEMI group and UAP group than in SAP group(50(50, 60)μm and 60(50, 90)μm vs. 130(80, 190)μm, all P<0.05), and there was no significantly difference between NSTEMI group and UAP group(P>0.05). Proportion of thin-cap fibroatheroma plaque(82.35%(14/18) vs. 19.15%(9/47) and 63.46%(33/52), all P<0.05), plaque rupture(55.56%(10/18)vs. 6.38%(3/47) and 28.85%(15/52), all P<0.05) and thrombosis(33.33%(6/18) vs. 4.26%(2/47) and 9.26%(5/52), all P<0.05) were significantly higher in NSTEMI group than in SAP group and UAP group. Proportion of calcifiacation in plaque was lower in NSTEMI group than in SAP group (11.11%(2/18)vs. 42.55%(20/47), P<0.05), and there was no significantly difference between NSTEMI group and UAP group(P>0.05). (3) Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum levels of hs-CRP(r=-0.233, P<0.05) and Lp-PLA2(r=-0.465, P<0.01)were negatively correlated with fibrous cap thickness of fibrofatty plaques. Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum levels of hs-CRP were positively correlated with plaque rupture(r=0.409, P<0.01) and thrombosis (r=0.227, P<0.05), and serum levels of Lp-PLA2 were also positively correlated with plaque rupture(r=0.499, P<0.01) and thrombosis(r=0.263, P<0.01). (4)Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that serum levels of Lp-PLA2 at baseline was independently related to thin-cap fibroatheroma plaque(OR=1.017, P<0.01). Conclusions: The serum levels of hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 in NSTEMI patients are much higher than that in SAP and UAP patients, higher in UAP patients than in SAP patients. Prevalence of thin-cap fibroatheroma plaque, plaque rupture and thrombosis was significantly higher in the NSTEMI patients, while the prevalence of calcification in plaque is more often in SAP patients. Increased serum levels of Lp-PLA2 are independent risk factor of thin-cap fibroatheroma plaque formation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of acute myocardial infarction caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection(SCAD) in young female patients. Methods: In this casecontrolstudy,127 young(≤55 years) female patients with acute myocardial infarction onset within 1 week in Nanjing first hospital, Xuzhou central hospital, affiliated hospital of Xuzhou medical university, and Lianyungang first people's hospital were enrolled between January 2013 and February 2017,and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. According to their clinical manifestations and coronary angiography(CAG) results,the patients were divided into coronary atherosclerosis disease(CAD) group(CAG evidenced atherosclerosis, n=83) and SCAD group(CAG detected coronary artery dissection,n=44).The SCAD patients were subdivided into definite group (the results affirmed from intravenous ultrasound or optical coherence tomography, n=21) and probable group (the CAG results highly confirmed to characteristics of SCAD,but no intravenous ultrasound or optical coherence tomography image affirmation,n=23). Then, according to the different treatment strategies, the SCAD patients were subdivided into conservative treatment group(treated with drugs,n=19) and interventional therapy group(treated with percutaneous coronary intervention,n=25). Results: (1)Compared to CAD group, patients in the SCAD group had less risk factors, such as hypertension history (25.0% (11/44) vs. 45.8% (38/83) , P=0.022) and diabetes history (6.8% (3/44) vs. 21.7% (18/83) , P=0.043),and had lower levels of fasting blood glucose (5.34(4.59,5.87) mmol/L vs. 7.12(5.18,8.60)mmol/L, P=0.001),total cholesterol((3.94±1.14) mmol/L vs. (4.91±1.50) mmol/L, P=0.001),triglyceride(1.42 (0.91,1.64) mmol/L vs. 1.89 (1.23,2.45) mmol/L, P=0.005),and low density lipoprotein cholesterol ((2.24±0.91) mmol/L vs. (2.94±1.16) mmol/L, P=0.001),CAG results showed that patients in the SCAD group had more single vessel lesion (88.6% (39/44) vs. 39.8% (33/83) , P=0.001), and their target lesion stenosis was less severe ( (79.2±22.4) % vs. (91.5±12.1) %, P=0.001). (2) The clinical risk factors such as hypertension history, diabetes history, smoking history, family history of cardiology disease, fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were similar between definite group and probable group (all P>0.05). CAG results showed that prevalence of single vessel lesion (100% (21/21) vs. 78.3% (18/23) , P=0.050) and percent of target lesion stenosis ( (76.9±20.6) % vs. (81.2±24.1) %, P=0.529) were similar between definite group and probable group.(3)There were no significant difference in single vessel(84.0% (21/25) vs. 94.7% (18/19) , P=0.370), target lesion stenosis(85.0(70.0,100.0)% vs. 75.0(50.0,90.0)%, P=0.186),and survival rates in hospital(96.0% (24/25) vs. 100% (19/19) , P=1.000) between interventional therapy group and conservative treatment group. Conclusions: Prevalence of SCAD is highin young female patients with acute myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction patients with less risk factors of CAD and with CAG showing smooth lesion of narrowing segment and normal finding in the other vessels, are more likely to be diagnosed with SCAD.Acute myocardial infarction patients caused by SCAD have high survival rate either receiving percutaneous coronary intervention or drug treatment.

Abstract
Blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption is an important contributor to brain edema and neurological deficits following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Macrophage stimulating protein (MSP) is a hepatocyte growth factor-like protein that mediates its functions via activating receptor tyrosine kinase recepteur d'origine nantais (RON). Grb2-associated binder 1 (GAB1) is a docking protein that mediates downstream receptor signal transduction pathways. This study aimed to evaluate the role of MSP and RON activated signaling pathway in preserving BBB integrity after collagenase-induced ICH. ICH mice received recombinant human MSP (rhMSP) or rhMSP combined with siRNA knockdown of RON or GAB1. rhMSP was administered by intranasal route 1 h after ICH. Brain edema, neurobehavior, BBB tight junction protein expression, and BBB permeability were evaluated. The expression of endogenous MSP and p-RON was decreased after ICH. Exogenous rhMSP administration reduced brain edema, neurological deficits, BBB permeability, and increased the expression of tight junction proteins in ICH mice. rhMSP administration increased the expression of p-RON, p-GAB1, p-Src, nuclear β-catenin, and tight junction proteins after ICH. These effects were reversed with RON and GAB1 siRNA. We conclude that MSP activation of RON preserved BBB integrity via GAB-1/Src/β-catenin pathway, thereby reducing brain edema and neurological deficits after ICH in mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior research has established that anxiety and depression, as measured by the Hospital Anxiety Depression Score (HADS), are strongly correlated with disease-specific quality of life (Rhinosinusitis Disability Index - RSDI) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). We hypothesized that anxiety and depression would decrease after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and furthermore that HADS would predict improvement in RSDI following surgery. METHODOLOGY The study cohort from 2014 consisted of 99 CRS patients who underwent nasal endoscopy, RSDI, and HADS evaluation. The cohort was segregated by whether or not they underwent FESS and an updated HADS was administered. For 44 surgical patients, pre- and post-operative RSDI (n=38), Lund-Kennedy (LK) (n=34) and HADS (n=18) scores were compared. Delta RSDI was compared between patients with varying levels of anxiety and depression. RESULTS Lund-Kennedy scores improved from 5.8 ± 4.1 to 3.2 ± 2.6 following surgery, as did total RSDI (39.3 ± 26.8 to 24.6 ± 29.2). Total HADS (9.8 ± 6.4 to 11.3 ± 7.4) and depression and anxiety subscores were unchanged. Linear regression did not reveal a correlation between HADS and change in RSDI following FESS. Delta RSDI was not significantly different between patients with varying levels of anxiety and depression. CONCLUSIONS Despite improvements in objective evidence of sinonasal inflammation (LK) and disease-specific quality of life (RSDI), neither depression nor anxiety improved after FESS, nor did the magnitude of psychological comorbidity predict post-operative improvement in quality of life. Improvement in RSDI was not different among patients with varying levels of anxiety and depression. Levels of depression and anxiety may be hard-wired, and therefore not influenced by changes in objective or perceived sinonasal disease burden.

Abstract
Background Craniopharyngioma is a kind of intracranial benign tumor that is primarily treated with surgery. At present, a variety of surgical approaches are used for tumor resection. We have conducted a comparative analysis of the two approaches most used in our department. Methods The study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data from 65 patients with craniopharyngioma surgically treated by the two approaches mentioned above. Among these patients, 24 were treated by lateral supraorbital (LSO) approach and 41 by standard pterional approach. Indicators including, but not limited to, length of incision, operation time, postoperative pituitary function, urine volume, visual function improvement, and hospitalization were used to compare these two groups of patients. Results The data shows that there was no significant difference in total tumor resection rate (P = 0.54), postoperative visual field improvement (P = 0.68) and postoperative function of endocrine. However, the LSO approach significantly reduced the operative incision (P = 0.001), shortened the operation time (P = 0.001) and operative complexity, while reducing the incidence of postoperative complications (P = 0.04). Conclusions In surgical treatment of craniopharyngioma, LSO approach has similar surgical effect with standard pterional approach, but it can significantly shorten the operation time, reduce surgical trauma and the incidence of complications. Therefore, LSO provides another alternative to surgical approach for microsurgical removal of craniopharyngioma.

Abstract
Background The Middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm is a common type of craniocerebral aneurysm that is prone to rupture and high mortality. The classic surgical approaches are the Pterional approach and the Lateral Supraorbital (LSO) approach, but there are shortcomings. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed clinical and imaging data from 181 patients with MCA aneurysm clipping in the Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between 2011 and 2017. Statistical analysis using parametric and nonparametric tests showed that P values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results The preoperative GCS score (P = 0.003), Hunt-Hess scale (P < 0.001) and the operating habits of the surgeon (P < 0.001) affected the surgeon to choose a surgical approach. The choice of two surgical methods on the operation time (P < 0.001), skin incision (P < 0.001), complications (P = 0.026), tracheotomy (P = 0.014), prognosis (P = 0.002) were significantly different. Different surgical approaches (P = 0.002), Hunt-Hess scale (P < 0.001), GCS scale (P < 0.001), GCS sorse (P < 0.001), skin incision (P = 0.031) and complications (P < 0.001) are closely related to the prognosis of patients. Conclusions Modified LSO approach provides another surgical approach for MCA aneurysm clipping, while avoiding the drawbacks of the LSO approach in the clipping of MCA distal aneurysm.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of β-carotene (βC) supplementation on lipid metabolism in the back fat of beef cattle, 120 continental crossbred (Simmental × local Luxi yellow cattle) steers were selected randomly from feedlots and allotted to four groups. Each steer was supplemented with 0, 600, 1200, or 1800 mg/day of βC for 90 days, and then received no βC for 60 days (depletion period). The βC levels significantly increased in steers supplemented with βC (P < 0.01), and then decreased to the control level by Day 150. Back fat thickness decreased slightly with increasing βC supplementation, and significantly differed among groups after supplementation ceased (P < 0.01 on Day 120, P < 0.05 on Day 150). Significant regression relationships between βC supplement level and both βC content in back fat tissue on Day 90 and back fat thickness on Days 90, 120, and 150 were established (P < 0.01). No significant differences in the dry matter intake or average daily gain were detected, but higher net meat percentages were observed in the 1200 and 1800 mg/day βC-supplemented groups compared with the control (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of two fat synthesis-related genes, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase, were downregulated during the supplementation period, but upregulated during the next 60 days when the steers received no βC supplementation. In contrast, the expression of two fat hydrolysis-related genes, hormone-sensitive lipase and adipose triglyceride lipase, were upregulated during the supplementation period and downregulated in the subsequent 60 days. The results showed that βC supplementation suppresses back fat deposition in beef cattle by inhibiting fat synthesis and enhancing fat hydrolysis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) for early diagnosis of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: From May 2015 to January 2016, 506 consecutive patients who underwent CAG or PCI in our hospital were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients were divided into CIN group (n=47) and non-CIN group (n=459). Clinical and interventional data were compared between the two groups. Spearman ranking correlation coefficient was used to define the relation between NGAL and CIN, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identif independent predictors of CIN. Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve was generated, and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated and sensitivity and specificity for CIN diagnosis were analyzed. Results: (1) Basic clinical and interventional data including age, incidence of diabetes, hypertension and chronic heart failure, level of systolic blood pressure, serum creatine before procedure, use of isotonic contrast agent, contrast volume, Mehran score, operation time, treatment number of coronary artery, hydration and medication were all similar between two groups (all P>0.05). (2) Urinary NAGL level at 24 and 48 h after procedure, serum creatinine (Scr) level at 48 h after procedure, and ΔNGAL24-0 h were significantly higher in CIN group than in non-CIN group (all P<0.01), but the differences of urinary NGAL level before procedure, Scr level 24 h after procedure, and ΔNGAL48-24 h were similar between two groups (all P>0.05). (3)The positive correlation was found by Spearman ranking correlation between ΔNGAL24-0 h and CIN (r=0.478, P<0.001). (4) Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that estimated glomerular filtration rate(OR=1.020, 95%CI 1.005-1.035, P=0.007) and ΔNGAL24-0 h (OR=1.020, 95%CI 1.014-1.027, P<0.001) were the independent predictors of CIN.(5) ROC curve showed that the AUC of NGAL with the cutoff value 4.65 was 0.899(0.854, 0.944)for diagnosis of CIN (sensitivity 93.6%, and specificity 0.944). Conclusion: The rise of urinary NGAL level at 24 and 48 hours after CAG or PCI is suggestive of CIN and could be used as a reliable parameter for the early diagnose of CIN.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility and clinical potential of using the 3D printing technology (3DPT) versus typical strategy (thin-layer CT scan) for the treatment of complicated proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) in old people. METHODS Sixty-six old patients age ranging from 61 to 76 years with persistent complicated PHFs were randomly assigned to two groups as per the controlled randomization table (34 cases in the test group and 32 cases in the control group). In the test group, 3DPT was applied to build the 3D facture model of a patient, according to the data acquired from the thin-layer CT scan and subsequently processed with Mimics software. This helped to confirm the diagnosis, design the individual operation plan, simulate the surgical procedures and perform the surgery as plan. In the control group, only thin-layer CT scan was applied for the design of the operation plan prior to the surgery. Here, parameters including surgery duration, blood loss volume during surgery, the number of fluoroscopy, time to union were statistically analyzed for two groups after the operation. The screw lengths designed before the surgery and measured during the surgery were compared. RESULTS The 3D PHF model generated using 3DPT was able to provide the visual display and omni-directional observation of the direction and severity of the fracture dislocation, which facilitated preoperative diagnosis, operation planning and design, data measurement, preselection of internal fixator and surgical outcome simulation. According to the follow-up ranging from 12∼28 months for the 66 patients, the results showed no significant difference in time to union between the two groups (P>0.05). Apart from that, less surgery duration, less blood loss during surgery, less number of fluoroscopy can be observed compared with the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In this study, 3DPT showed great clinical feasibility of the treatment of complicated PHFs. The 3D-print PHF model had the ability to clearly display the fracture and thus was useful to determine the fracture classification and the magnitude of fracture injury. It benefited surgeons to gain a better understanding of complicated PHFs, design a most suitable operation plan prior to surgery and facilitate the doctor-patient communication. This therefore enabled the reduction of intraoperative injury and the optimization of surgical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) has multiple physiological and pathological functions. The role of NF-κB can be protective or destructive. We aim to investigate the biphasic activation of NF-κB in brain after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). MATERIAL OR SUBJECTS Eighty male New Zealand rabbits are assigned to control, SAH, vehicle, and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) groups. TREATMENT PDTC (3 mg/kg, dissolved in saline) was injected into cisterna magna. METHODS Immunofluorescence and electrophoretic mobility shift assay experiments were performed to assess the activation of NF-κB. The levels of inflammatory and apoptosis mediators were detected by ELISA and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Nissl and immunofluorescent stain was performed to evaluate neuron injury. RESULTS NF-κB activity in the brain cortex showed two peaks after SAH. Inflammatory mediators exhibited similar time course. PDTC could significantly inhibit the NF-κB activity and inflammatory mediators. Suppressing the early NF-κB activity significantly decreased neuron injury, while inhibiting the late one could statistically increase neuron injury. CONCLUSIONS The biphasic NF-κB activation in the brain cortex after SAH played a decisive role on neuronal fate through the inflammatory signaling pathway. The early NF-κB activity contributed to neuron damage after SAH. Nevertheless, the late activated NF-κB may serve as a protector.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer is a very common form of endocrine system malignancy. To date, the molecular mechanism underlying thyroid cancer remains poorly understood. Studies of oncocytic tumors have led to a hypothesis which proposes that defects in oxidative phosphorylation (OX- PHOS) may result in a compensatory increase in mitochondrial replication and gene expression. As a result, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation analysis has become a useful tool to explore the molecular basis of this disease. Among these mutations, mitochondrial transfer RNAs (mttRNAs) are the hot spots for pathogenic mutations associated with thyroid cancer. However, due to its high mutation rate, the role of mt-tRNA variants in thyroid cancer is still controversial. To address this problem, in this study, we reassessed seven reported mt-tRNA variants: tRNAAsp G7521A, tRNAArg T10411C and T10463C, tRNALeu(CUN) A12308G, tRNAIle G4292C and C4312T, and tRNAAla T5655C, in clinical manifestations of thyroid cancer. We first performed the phylogenetic conservation analysis for these variants; moreover, we used a bioinformatic tool to compare the minimum free energy (G) of mt-tRNA with and without mutations. Most strikingly, none of these variants caused the significant change of the G between the wild-type and the mutant form, suggesting that they may not play an important roles in thyroid cancer. In addition, we screened the frequency of the “pathogenic” A12308G alternation in 300 patients with thyroid cancer and 200 healthy controls. We found that there were five patients and three control subjects carrying this variant. It seemed that the A12308G variant may be a common polymorphism in the human population. Taken together, our study indicated that variants in mt-tRNA genes may not play active roles in patients with thyroid cancer.

Abstract
Here, we aimed to study the role and underlying mechanism of mTOR in early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Experiment 1, the time course of mTOR activation in the cortex following SAH. Experiment 2, the role of mTOR in SAH-induced EBI. Adult SD rats were divided into four groups: sham group (n=18), SAH+vehicle group (n=18), SAH+rapamycin group (n=18), SAH+AZD8055 group (n=18). Experiment 3, we incubated enriched microglia with OxyHb. Rapamycin and AZD8055 were also used to demonstrate the mTOR's role on microglial polarization in vitro. The phosphorylation levels of mTOR and its substrates were significantly increased and peaked at 24h after SAH. Rapamycin or AZD8055 markedly decreased the phosphorylation levels of mTOR and its substrates and the activation of microglia in vivo, and promoted the microglial polarization from M1 phenotype to M2 phenotype. In addition, administration of rapamycin and AZD8055 following SAH significantly ameliorated EBI, including neuronal apoptosis, neuronal necrosis, brain edema and blood-brain barrier permeability. Our findings suggested that the rapamycin and AZD8055 could attenuate the development of EBI in this SAH model, possibly through inhibiting the activation of microglia by mTOR pathway.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets containing different amounts of wheat, as a partial or whole substitute for corn, on digestibility, digestive enzyme activities, serum metabolite contents and ruminal fermentation in beef cattle. Four Limousin×LuXi crossbred cattle with a body weight (400±10 kg), fitted with permanent ruminal, proximal duodenal and terminal ileal cannulas, were used in a 4×4 Latin square design with four treatments: Control (100% corn), 33% wheat (33% substitution for corn), 67% wheat (67% substitution for corn), and 100% wheat (100% substitution for corn) on a dry matter basis. The results showed that replacing corn with increasing amounts of wheat increased the apparent digestibility values of dry matter, organic matter, and crude protein (p<0.05). While the apparent digestibility of acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber were lower with increasing amounts of wheat. Digestive enzyme activities of lipase, protease and amylase in the duodenum were higher with increasing wheat amounts (p<0.05), and showed similar results to those for the enzymes in the ileum except for amylase. Increased substitution of wheat for corn increased the serum alanine aminotransferase concentration (p<0.05). Ruminal pH was not different between those given only corn and those given 33% wheat. Increasing the substitution of wheat for corn increased the molar proportion of acetate and tended to increase the acetate-to-propionate ratio. Cattle fed 100% wheat tended to have the lowest ruminal NH3-N concentration compared with control (p<0.05), whereas no differences were observed among the cattle fed 33% and 67% wheat. These findings indicate that wheat can be effectively used to replace corn in moderate amounts to meet the energy and fiber requirements of beef cattle.
