The Association Between Serum Pentraxin-3 Level at Admission and the Functional Outcome of Patients After Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of disability worldwide, placing a significant burden on patients' quality of life and healthcare systems. Pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), an inflammatory biomarker, may be associated with AIS prognosis; however, existing evidence is inconclusive.

Aims: To examine whether serum PTX-3 levels at admission are linked to the likelihood of poor functional outcomes in AIS patients.

Observational study of the relationship between negative cognitive processing bias and mental health, sleep quality in the early and middle stages of peacekeeping mission.

To examine the correlation between negative cognitive processing bias and the mental health, sleep status of peacekeepers across various time periods to establish a benchmark for peacekeeper mental health interventions. Symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and negative cognitive processing bias questionnaire (NCPBQ) were adopted to investigate 172 Chinese peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the early and middle stages of the mission. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall score of PSQI between the early and middle stages of the mission (P = .

Construction of a risk screening and visualization system for pulmonary nodule in physical examination population based on feature self-recognition machine learning model.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a feature self-recognition machine learning model in screening for pulmonary nodule risk in a physical examination population and to evaluate the constructed visualization system.

Methods: We analyzed data from 4,861 individuals who underwent chest CT exams during their physical examinations at the Western Theater General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from January 2023 to November 2023. Among them, 1,168 had positive CT reports for pulmonary nodules, while 3,693 had negative findings.

TIPE2 attenuates neuroinflammation and brain injury through Bcl-2/Bax/cleaved caspase-3 apoptotic pathways after intracerebral hemorrhage in mice.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious disease with high mortality and morbidity, and effective treatment is limited. A large amount of evidence suggests that the inflammatory response contributes to secondary brain damage following ICH. TIPE2 is an essential negative regulator of both innate and adaptive immunity, and depletion of TIPE2 causes inflammatory disease.

Effect of on white matter neural network in adolescent patients with depression.

Background: This study aimed to explore the correlation between the rs12415800 polymorphism of the silent information regulator 1 () gene and the white matter neural circuit in adolescent patients with depression.

Methods: We enrolled 119 participants, comprising 59 adolescent patients with depression and 60 matched healthy controls for analysis. Patients were further subdivided based on genotype; GG, AG, and AA, with G representing the wild type gene, and A representing the A allele at rs12415800.

Comparing the Conventional and Balloon-Guided Catheter-Assisted SWIM Technology for the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Objective: Acute ischemic stroke is common in elder patients. This study investigates whether using the balloon-guided catheter (BGC) would improve the effect of stent thrombectomy (Solitaire FR With Intracranial Support Catheter for Mechanical Thrombectomy, SWIM) for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO).

Method: The data of 209 patients with AIS-LVO underwent SWIM were collected retrospectively from January 2017 to June 2021.

Therapeutic Effects of Revascularisation on the Healing of Free Bone Grafts in Dogs.

Introduction: The therapeutic effect of subcutaneous embedding and revascularisation on the repair of canine bone defects caused by open fracture was examined.

Material And Methods: A total of 12 adult beagle dogs were randomly split into a control group (group C) and a test group (group T). A section of the radius was removed from each dog under general anaesthesia and the deficit supported by an orthopaedic implant.

Changes of cardiac troponin I and hypersensitive C-reactive protein prior to and after treatment for evaluating the early therapeutic efficacy of acute myocardial infarction treatment.

The present study aimed to evaluate the utility of the extent of change (C) and change rate (Cr) of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) prior to and after treatment in evaluating the early therapeutic efficacy of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treatment. A total of 145 patients with AMI who received regular MI treatment were enrolled in the present study. Patients were divided into the effective group and the ineffective group based on the early therapeutic efficacy.
