Background: Despite successful recanalization via mechanical thrombectomy (MT), only half of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients achieve functional independence. Post-MT hemodynamic features are insufficiently investigated, and the lack of bilateral comparisons limits individual assessment. Therefore, we aimed to explore how individualized hemodynamic features affect functional outcomes using quantitative digital subtraction angiography (Q-DSA).

Background And Purpose: Diet may influence systemic inflammatory status, vascular calcification, and, therefore, the development of atherosclerosis. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a measure of the inflammatory potential of diet. Although previous studies have examined the relationship between DII and cardiovascular diseases, its specific association with carotid artery calcification in ischemic stroke patients remains insufficiently explored.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates how anatomical and hemodynamic features observed through angiography can predict stroke risk in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), especially those with moderate-to-severe middle cerebral artery stenosis.
  • - Researchers analyzed 333 patients over an average of 64.5 months and found that lower values of the quantitative flow ratio (μQFR) and specific lesion locations significantly correlated with higher risk of stroke or transient ischemic attacks within five years.
  • - The findings suggest that factors like μQFR, lesions in certain segments of the MCA, and the diameter ratio of the internal carotid artery may be useful for tailoring treatment strategies for patients with MCA atherosclerosis to reduce stroke risk. *

Article Synopsis
  • - A new multi-layer stacked Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) platform is developed to tackle the memory wall issue, featuring high-density vertical connections between DRAM and logic units using advanced bonding and TSV technologies.
  • - The paper introduces a Cross-Process Signal Integrity Analysis (CPSIA) method that combines different manufacturing processes to analyze the signal integrity of a 3D integrated circuit (3DIC) architecture, modeling vertical cells and connecting DRAM and logic netlists in one simulation.
  • - Simulation results indicate that timing uncertainty due to 3DIC crosstalk ranges from 31 ps to 62 ps, correlating with variations in maximum frequency observed in physical tests, thus validating the CPSIA method's

Background And Purpose: Microbial infection has been associated with thrombogenesis. This study aimed to detect bacterium-specific genes and other signatures in thrombi from patients with acute ischemic stroke and to relate these signatures to clinical characteristics.

Methods: Blood samples were collected before thrombectomy procedures, and thrombus samples were obtained during the procedure.

Introduction: Owing to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, flavonoids can influence the initiation and development of atherosclerosis, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely undetermined. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between dietary flavonoids and carotid calcification in patients with ischemic stroke.

Methods: This study screened consecutive patients with ischemic stroke via Nanjing Stroke Registry Program from February 2016 to April 2021.

Background And Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) and atherosclerotic carotid stenosis in patients with ischemic stroke.

Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke were consecutively enrolled. Daily food consumption was estimated by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).

Objective: To study HIV, HBV and HCV infections in intravenous drug users.

Methods: 2025 blood samples from intravenous drug users were collected from Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi and Xinjiang regions, and tested for anti-HIV, anti-HCV, HBsAg using enzyme-linked immuno-sobent assays (ELISAs).

Results: The positive rates of anti-HIV,anti-HCV and HBsAg were14.
