    Abstract: The role of dual-antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel plus aspirin has been demonstrated to substantially decrease the risk of recurrent stroke among patients with minor stroke and transient ischemic attack. We aimed to determine whether the efficacy of clopidogrel-aspirin therapy among patients with minor stroke / transient ischemic attack was influenced by the stratification of CYP2C19 genotype and body mass index (BMI). Methods— CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele (LoFA) carriers were defined as patients with either LoFA of *2 or *3. Low/normal weight and overweight/obesity was defined as BMI 〈 25 and ≥25 kg/m 2 , respectively. Primary outcome was defined as stroke recurrence at 3 months. Results— In a total of 2933 patients, there were 1726 (58.8%) LoFA carriers and 1275 (43.5%) patients with overweight/obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m 2 ). Stratified analyses by LoFA carrying status and BMI, hazard ratios (hazard ratios 95% CIs) of the clopidogrel-aspirin therapy for stroke recurrence were 0.90 (0.60–1.36), 0.87 (0.56–1.35), 0.65 (0.39–1.09), and 0.40 (0.22–0.71) among subgroups of LoFA carriers with overweight/obesity, LoFA carriers with low/normal weight, LoFA noncarriers with overweight/obesity, and LoFA noncarriers with low/normal weight, respectively, with P =0.049 for interaction. Conclusions— Efficacy of clopidogrel-aspirin therapy in reducing the risk of stroke recurrence is not present in CYP2C19 LoFA noncarriers with overweight/obesity. Our study suggests that BMI significantly influences the correlation between CYP2C19 genotype and efficacy of clopidogrel-aspirin therapy.

    Abstract: We aimed to determine the risk conferred by metabolic syndrome ( METS ) and diabetes mellitus ( DM ) to recurrent stroke in patients with minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack from the CHANCE (Clopidogrel in High‐risk patients with Acute Non‐disabling Cerebrovascular Events) trial. Methods and Results In total, 3044 patients were included. Patients were stratified into 4 groups: neither, METS only, DM only, or both. METS was defined using the Chinese Diabetes Society ( CDS ) and International Diabetes Foundation ( IDF ) definitions. The primary outcome was new stroke (including ischemic and hemorrhagic) at 90 days. A multivariable Cox regression model was used to assess the relationship of METS and DM status to the risk of recurrent stroke adjusted for potential covariates. Using the CDS criteria of METS , 53.2%, 17.2%, 19.8%, and 9.8% of patients were diagnosed as neither, METS only, DM only, and both, respectively. After 90 days of follow‐up, there were 299 new strokes (293 ischemic, 6 hemorrhagic). Patients with DM only (16.1% versus 6.8%; adjusted hazard ratio 2.50, 95% CI 1.89–3.39) and both (17.1% versus 6.8%; adjusted hazard ratio 2.76, 95% CI 1.98–3.86) had significantly increased rates of recurrent stroke. No interaction effect of antiplatelet therapy by different METS or DM status for the risk of recurrent stroke ( P =0.82 for interaction in the fully adjusted model of CDS ) was observed. Using the METS ( IDF ) criteria demonstrated similar results. Conclusions Concurrent METS and DM was associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke in patients with minor stroke and transient ischemic attack.

    Abstract: The uptake of proven stroke treatments varies widely. We aimed to determine the association of evidence‐based processes of care for acute ischemic stroke ( AIS ) and clinical outcome of patients who participated in the HEADPOST (Head Positioning in Acute Stroke Trial), a multicenter cluster crossover trial of lying flat versus sitting up, head positioning in acute stroke. Methods and Results Use of 8 AIS processes of care were considered: reperfusion therapy in eligible patients; acute stroke unit care; antihypertensive, antiplatelet, statin, and anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation; dysphagia assessment; and physiotherapist review. Hierarchical, mixed, logistic regression models were performed to determine associations with good outcome (modified Rankin Scale scores 0–2) at 90 days, adjusted for patient and hospital variables. Among 9485 patients with AIS, implementation of all processes of care in eligible patients, or “defect‐free” care, was associated with improved outcome (odds ratio, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.18–1.65) and better survival (odds ratio, 2.23; 95% CI , 1.62–3.09). Defect‐free stroke care was also significantly associated with excellent outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0–1) (odds ratio, 1.22; 95% CI , 1.04–1.43). No hospital characteristic was independently predictive of outcome. Only 1445 (15%) of eligible patients with AIS received all processes of care, with significant regional variations in overall and individual rates. Conclusions Use of evidence‐based care is associated with improved clinical outcome in AIS . Strategies are required to address regional variation in the use of proven AIS treatments.

    Abstract: Mechanisms, acute management, and outcomes for patients who experience intracerebral hemorrhage may differ from patients with ischemic stroke. Studies of very early rehabilitation have been mainly undertaken in patients with ischemic stroke, and it is unknown if benefits apply to those with intracerebral hemorrhage. We hypothesized that early rehabilitation, within 48 hours of stroke, would improve survival and functional outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods— This was a multicenter, randomized controlled study, with blinded assessment of outcome at 3 and 6 months. Eligible patients were randomized to receive standard care or standard care plus early rehabilitation. Primary outcome includes survival. Secondary outcomes includes health-related quality of life using the 36-item Short Form Questionnaire, function measured with the modified Barthel Index, and anxiety measured with the Zung Self-Rated Anxiety Scale. Results— Two hundred forty-three of 326 patients were randomized (mean age, 59 years; 56% men). At 6 months, patients receiving standard care were more likely to have died (adjusted hazard ratio, 4.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24–15.87); for morbidity outcomes, a 6-point difference in the Physical Component Summary score of the 36-item Short Form Questionnaire (95% CI, 4.2–8.7), a 7-point difference for the Mental Component Summary score (95% CI, 4.5–9.5), a 13-point difference in Modified Barthel Index scores (95% CI, 6.8–18.3), and a 6-point difference in Self-Rating Anxiety Scale scores (95% CI, 4.4–8.3) was reported in favor of the intervention groups. Conclusions— For the first time, we have shown that commencing rehabilitation within 48 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage improves survival and functional outcomes at 6 months after stroke in hospitalized patients in China.

    Abstract: The impacts of previous cardio-cerebrovascular disease (pre-CCVD) on the outcomes of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are not well described. Patients with pre-CCVD may often be poor candidates for HCT. This study aimed to investigate the impact of pre-CCVD on transplant outcomes. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between patients with and without pre-CCVD who consecutively received allogeneic or autologous HCT between November 2013 and January 2020 with a matching of age and disease status. The cardiovascular complications and HCT outcomes of the two groups were evaluated and compared. The primary endpoints were post-transplant cardio-cerebrovascular disease (post-CCVD) and non-relapse mortality (NRM). We used a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model and the Fine-Gray competing risk regressions for analyses to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs). Results: The outcomes of 23 HCT recipients with pre-CCVD were compared with those of 107 patients in the control group. No significant differences were noted in terms of engraftment, overall survival (OS) (67.00% vs. 67.90%, P  = 0.983), or relapse (29.78% vs. 28.26%, P  = 0.561) between the pre-CCVD group and the control group. The cumulative incidences of 2-year NRM were similar between patients with pre-CCVD and the controls (14.68% vs. 17.08%, P  = 0.670). However, pre-CCVD was associated with an increased incidence of post-CCVD (HR: 12.50, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.88–40.30, P   〈  0.001), which was an independent risk factor for increased NRM (HR: 10.29, 95% CI: 3.84–27.62, P   〈  0.001) and inferior OS (HR: 10.29, 95% CI: 3.84–27.62, P   〈  0.001). Conclusions: These findings suggest that the existence of pre-CCVD before transplantation might not result in increased mortality directly but superpose the toxicity of the transplantation procedure, leading to a risk of post-CCVD. Post-CCVD was a powerful predictor for high NRM and inferior OS. Further risk stratification of pre-CCVD is needed to reduce NRM in various transplantation settings.

    Abstract: (Abstracted from Prenat Diagn 2018;38:849–857) The discovery of cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma and the invention of massively parallel sequencing have made noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for fetal common aneuploidies (trisomies 13, 18, and 21) a clinical reality. Noninvasive prenatal testing has been recommended as a first-tier or second-tier screening test for common fetal trisomies, with lower false-positive rates and higher positive predictive values than serum biochemical screening.

    Abstract: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are hypothesized downstream markers of brain damage caused by vascular and amyloid pathologic mechanisms. The aim of this study was to determine whether CMB count and location are associated with an increased risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with essential hypertension without a history of transient ischemic attack or stroke. Methods and Results In this cross‐sectional study, patients were prospectively enrolled from consecutive outpatients with essential hypertension 50 years and older at 3 centers in northern China. Generalized linear Poisson models were used to determine the association between the number and location of CMB s and MCI in patients with hypertension. The association of microbleeds with different cognitive domains was estimated using linear mixed models. The presence, number, and distribution of CMB s were greater in patients with hypertension who had MCI ( P 〈 0.001). The presence of any CMB s, strictly lobar CMB s, and deep or infratentorial CMB s were all related to MCI after adjusting for age, sex, education, cardiovascular risk factors, body mass index, intima‐media thickness, the presence of silent lacunar infarctions, white matter lesion grade, and brain atrophy. Furthermore, the presence of multiple microbleeds (≥5) was associated with lower Montreal Cognitive Assessment total scores and worse performance on specific domains of cognitive tests, such as global cognitive function, information processing speed, and motor speed. Conclusions This study suggests that the presence of and a greater number of cerebral CMB s independently correlate with MCI in patients with essential hypertension without a history of transient ischemic attack or stroke.

    Abstract: Experimental and observational research suggests that combined epidural–general anesthesia may improve long-term survival after cancer surgery by reducing anesthetic and opioid consumption and by blunting surgery-related inflammation. This study therefore tested the primary hypothesis that combined epidural–general anesthesia improves long-term survival in elderly patients. Methods This article presents a long-term follow-up of patients enrolled in a previous trial conducted at five hospitals. Patients aged 60 to 90 yr and scheduled for major noncardiac thoracic and abdominal surgeries were randomly assigned to either combined epidural–general anesthesia with postoperative epidural analgesia or general anesthesia alone with postoperative intravenous analgesia. The primary outcome was overall postoperative survival. Secondary outcomes included cancer-specific, recurrence-free, and event-free survival. Results Among 1,802 patients who were enrolled and randomized in the underlying trial, 1,712 were included in the long-term analysis; 92% had surgery for cancer. The median follow-up duration was 66 months (interquartile range, 61 to 80). Among patients assigned to combined epidural–general anesthesia, 355 of 853 (42%) died compared with 326 of 859 (38%) deaths in patients assigned to general anesthesia alone: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.24; P = 0.408. Cancer-specific survival was similar with combined epidural–general anesthesia (327 of 853 [38%]) and general anesthesia alone (292 of 859 [34%] ): adjusted hazard ratio, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.28; P = 0.290. Recurrence-free survival was 401 of 853 [47%] for patients who had combined epidural–general anesthesia versus 389 of 859 [45%] with general anesthesia alone: adjusted hazard ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.12; P = 0.692. Event-free survival was 466 of 853 [55%] in patients who had combined epidural–general anesthesia versus 450 of 859 [52%] for general anesthesia alone: adjusted hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.86 to 1.12; P = 0.815. Conclusions In elderly patients having major thoracic and abdominal surgery, combined epidural–general anesthesia with epidural analgesia did not improve overall or cancer-specific long-term mortality. Nor did epidural analgesia improve recurrence-free survival. Either approach can therefore reasonably be selected based on patient and clinician preference.

    Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the optimal dose of sufentanil, coadministered with 2.5 mg/kg propofol, for satisfactory laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion conditions in Chinese children and to determine the optimal bolus dose. Methods: Seventy-five Chinese children aged 2 to 6 years with the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II, undergoing elective minor surgery were recruited. They were randomly divided into 5 different dosage groups (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 μg/kg). A predetermined sufentanil diluted with 5 mL saline was injected 30 s, 200 s later, followed by 2.5 mg/kg propofol over 10 s. After that the insertion conditions were assessed, using a 6-category score. The duration of apnea was recorded. A Probit analysis was performed to determine the ED 50 and ED 95 with 95% confidence interval for optimal conditions. Results: There were less hemodynamic changes in all sufentanil groups than propofol-only group, with 0.2 μg/kg patients showing the most stable cardiovascular responses and best insertion conditions. However, the duration of apnea increased with the increasing dosage of sufentanil. From Probit analysis, the ED 50 and ED 95 of sufentanil for optimum score were 0.064 μg/kg and 0.177 μg/kg, respectively. Conclusion: In combination with propofol for anesthesia induction in Chinese children, sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg could prevent patients from dramatic hemodynamic change, providing satisfactory LMA insertion conditions.
