Background: Hyperthermia in patients with acute ischemic stroke is associated with poor outcome. Although previous studies have shown a negative effect on functional outcome, even in patients treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), the effect on survival remains unclear.

Aims Of The Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the functional and survival prognosis and hyperthermia in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with rt-PA.

Methods: We studied 120 patients treated with rt-PA from 2306 consecutive Japanese patients with acute cerebral infarction at Aomori Prefectural Central Hospital between December 2009 and March 2017. We defined hyperthermia as ≥38°C within 72 hours after rt-PA administration. Propensity score matching was used to compare 34 non-hyperthermia and hyperthermia patient pairs.

Results: Final modified Rankin Scale scores were higher in the hyperthermia group than in the non-hyperthermia group. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier model showed that the non-hyperthermia group had significantly better survival rates than the hyperthermia group (hazard ratio, 5.3; 95% confidence intervals, 1.2-24.8).

Conclusions: Hyperthermia within 3 days after rt-PA is associated with poor functional prognosis and survival outcome in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Fluid administration is widely used to treat hypotension in patients undergoing veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). However, excessive fluid administration may lead to fluid overload can aggravate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and increase patient mortality, predicting fluid responsiveness is of great significance for VV-ECMO patients. This prospective single-center study was conducted in a medical intensive care unit (ICU) and finally included 51 VV-ECMO patients with ARDS in the prone position (PP).

Vertebral collapse (VC) following osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) often requires aggressive treatment, necessitating an accurate prediction for early intervention. This study aimed to develop a predictive model leveraging deep neural networks to predict VC progression after OVCF using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical data. Among 245 enrolled patients with acute OVCF, data from 200 patients were used for the development dataset, and data from 45 patients were used for the test dataset.

Triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and major adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients undergoing PCI.

Sci Rep

The triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been consistently linked with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of studies focusing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or experiencing bleeding events. The study encompassed 17,643 ACS participants who underwent PCI.

Fast and sensitive multivalent spatial pattern-recognition for circular RNA detection.

Nat Commun

December 2024

Department of Pharmacology, Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Critical Care Medicine, School of Medicine, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.

While circular RNAs (circRNAs) exhibit lower abundance compared to corresponding linear RNAs, they demonstrate potent biological functions. Nevertheless, challenges arise from the low concentration and distinctive structural features of circRNAs, rendering existing methods operationally intricate and less sensitive. Here, we engineer an intelligent tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) possessing precise spatial pattern-recognition properties with exceptional sensing speed and sensitivity for circRNAs.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease with a high relapse rate. In this study, we map the metabolic profile of CD34(CD38) AML cells and the extracellular vesicle signatures in circulation from AML patients at diagnosis. CD34 AML cells display high antioxidant glutathione levels and enhanced mitochondrial functionality, both associated with poor clinical outcomes.
