    Abstract: Pepper is one of the most popular spices over the world and is called the King of Spices. Its essential oils (EOs) could alleviate neuronal ailments due to the inhibitory effect against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). In this study, the chemical compositions of 26 EOs prepared from white and black pepper collecting from 6 different cultivars were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 133 compounds were identified in the white and black pepper EOs. Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were found to be riched in these EOs, of which α-pinene, β-pinene, sabinene, 3-carene, limonene, and ( E)- β-caryophyllene were the major constituents. Most of pepper EOs showed potential AChE inhibitory activity with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) values in the range of 0.5-182.5 µg/mL. Comparison of chemical constitutes of pepper EOs from different cultivars suggested that α-pinene, β-pinene, and 3-carene with an IC 50 value of 3.2, 53.3, and 2.9 µg/mL, respectively, might be used as Quality-marker (Q-marker) of pepper oil in inhibiting AChE.

    Abstract: Seizures are a common symptom of craniocerebral diseases, and epilepsy is one of the comorbidities of craniocerebral diseases. However, how to rationally use anti-seizure medications (ASMs) in the perioperative period of craniocerebral surgery to control or avoid seizures and reduce their associated harm is a problem. The China Association Against Epilepsy (CAAE) united with the Trauma Group of the Chinese Neurosurgery Society, Glioma Professional Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association, Neuro-Oncology Branch of the Chinese Neuroscience Society, and Neurotraumatic Group of Chinese Trauma Society, and selected experts for consultancy regarding outcomes from evidence-based medicine in domestic and foreign literature. These experts referred to the existing research evidence, drug characteristics, Chinese FDA-approved indications, and expert experience, and finished the current guideline on the application of ASMs during the perioperative period of craniocerebral surgery, aiming to guide relevant clinical practice. This guideline consists of six sections: application scope of guideline, concepts of craniocerebral surgery-related seizures and epilepsy, postoperative application of ASMs in patients without seizures before surgery, application of ASMs in patients with seizures associated with lesions before surgery, emergency treatment of postoperative seizures, and 16 recommendations.

    Abstract: Purpose: To summarize the experience and outcomes of total endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic disease using 3-dimensional (3D) printed models to guide on-site creation of fenestrations in aortic stent-grafts. Materials and Methods: From April 2018 to March 2019, 34 patients (mean age 58±14 years; 24 men) with thoracoabdominal aortic disease were treated in our department. Nineteen patients had thoracoabdominal aortic dissection and 15 had thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Preoperatively, a 3D printed model of the aorta was made according to computed tomography images. In the operating room, the main aortic stent-graft was completely released in the 3D printed model, and the position of each fenestration or branch was marked on the stent-graft. The fenestrations were then made using an electric pen. Wires were sewn to the edge of the fenestrations using nonabsorbable sutures. After customization, the aortic stent-graft was reloaded into the delivery sheath and deployed. Results: The printing process took ~5 hours (1 hour for image reconstruction, 3 hours for printing, and 1 hour for postprocessing). The physician-modified stent-grafts had a total of 107 fenestrations secured by 102 bridging stent-grafts, including 73 covered stents and 29 bare stents. The average procedure time was 5.6±1.2 hours, including a mean 1.3 hours for stent-graft customization. No renal insufficiency or paraplegia occurred. Two branch arteries were lost during the operation. One patient (3%) died 1 week after surgery from a retrograde dissection rupture. One patient developed a minor cerebral infarction postoperatively. The mean follow-up time was 8.5 months. There was 1 endoleak from a fenestration (coil embolized) and 4 distal ruptures of the aortic dissection (3 treated and 1 observed). Conclusion: Three-dimensional printing can be used to guide creation of fenestrated stent-grafts for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic diseases involving crucial branches. This technique appears to be more accurate than the traditional measurement method, with short-term follow-up demonstrating the safety and reliability of the method. However, further research and development are needed.

    Abstract: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been shown to be an effective treatment for achalasia and with few adverse events. Only a few cases of delayed bleeding have been described. This current case report describes a patient with delayed bleeding in the submucosal tunnel on the eighth day after POEM. The patient was a 21-year-old woman with a 4-month history of dysphagia, vomiting and excessive weight loss. Achalasia was diagnosed according to her symptoms, barium oesophagogram, oesophageal manometry and endoscopy examination. POEM was performed by an experienced operator. On the eighth day after POEM, the patient suddenly developed continuous haematemesis presented with vomiting of fresh blood and melena. An emergency exploratory esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed. A large number of blood clots were found at the wound and a long haematoma was found along the lining of the submucosal tunnel. Re-entry into the submucosal tunnel and exposure of the haemorrhagic site was attempted but failed because of severe submucosal tissue adhesion. An emergency angiography was undertaken and haemostasis was achieved with superselective arterial microcoil embolization.

    Abstract: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important complication in patients with malignant tumors. Its exact diagnosis and treatment are still lacking. We used a high-sensitive chemiluminescence method to detect thrombin–antithrombin III complex (TAT), plasmin-α2-plasmininhibitor complex (PIC), thrombomodulin (TM), and tissue plasminogen activator–inhibitor complex(t-PAIC) in combination with D-dimer and fibrin degradation product (FDP) to analyze their diagnostic and prognostic value in patients with malignant tumors. Methods: In total, 870 patients with confirmed malignant tumors were included, 82 of whom had diagnosed VTE; 200 healthy individuals were classified as the control group. The TAT, PIC, TM, and t-PAIC were detected using Sysmex HISCL5000 automated analyzers, whereas FDP and D-dimer were detected using Sysmex CS5100 coagulation analyzer. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency. Survival probabilities were determined using Kaplan–Meier analysis, and multivariate analyses were performed using a Cox regression model. Results: Compared with healthy controls, patients with malignant tumors showed significantly elevated TAT, PIC, TM, t-PAIC, D-dimer, and FDP. Similarly, compared with patients in the non-thrombosis group, those in the thrombosis group showed significantly elevated levels of the above mentioned markers. Logistic regression analysis showed that TAT, PIC, TM, t-PAIC, D-Dimer, and FDP were all associated with VTE. ROC analysis showed that “TAT+PIC+TM+t-PAIC+D-dimer+FDP”showed the highest sensitivity and specificity. Patients with elevated TAT, PIC, TM, and t-PAIC had a significantly shorter survival. Multivariate Cox survival analysis showed that TM and t-PAIC were significantly associated with poor prognosis. In addition, the incidence of VTE was significantly lower in patients with malignant tumors who were treated with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), and their survival period was significantly longer than that of patients with malignant tumors who were not treated with LMWH. Conclusion: TAT, PIC, TM, and t-PAIC combined with D-dimer and FDP were better than the application of a single marker in the diagnosis of VTE in patients with malignant tumors. TAT and PIC can be used as sensitive markers in the diagnosis of VTE but not as prognostic markers. TM and t-PAIC might be independent prognostic indicators in patients with malignant tumors, regardless of the state of thrombus.

    Abstract: To investigate the prognostic value of pretreatment haemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width radio (HRR) in predicting overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods This retrospective study analysed patients with advanced NSCLC. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were conducted to evaluate the predictive value of HRR for OS. A propensity matching analysis was used to reduce the impact of other confounding factors on the results. Results A total of 448 patients were enrolled in the study. The median HRR was 0.984, which was used as the cut-off value. Regardless of matching or not, a lower HRR was correlated with an unfavourable risk of death. After propensity matching, univariate and multivariate analysis showed that HRR was an independent factor for the prognosis of NSCLC (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17, 2.04; HR 1.57, 95% CI, 1.17, 2.10; respectively). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that low HRR was associated with shortened OS. The relationship between HRR and the risk of death was consistent across all patient subgroups after stratification by subgroup analysis. Conclusions These findings showed that a lower pretreatment HRR could be a potentially valuable prognostic factor in patients with advanced NSCLC.

    Abstract: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a special and easily misdiagnosed or undiagnosed subtype of stroke. To identify specific biomarkers with a high predictive ability for the diagnosis of acute CVT, we performed metabolomic analysis in plasma samples from acute CVT patients and healthy controls and confirmed the results in validation cohorts. In the discovery stage, there were 343 differential metabolites, and the caffeine metabolism pathway and the biosynthesis pathway for the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) valine, leucine, and isoleucine were two significant pathways between the CVT and healthy cohorts. The area under the curve (AUC) for metabolites associated with valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis was 0.934. In the validation stage, the BCAA concentrations demonstrated an AUC of 0.935 to differentiate patients with acute CVT from the control cohort. In addition, BCAAs combined with D-dimer levels were used to establish a diagnostic model for CVT, and the AUC was 0.951, showing good diagnostic efficacy of separating CVT patients from the control cohort. BCAAs as plasma biomarkers deserve to be further studied and even developed in clinical CVT management.

    Abstract: Gout is a chronic disease. Gout symptoms are often experienced in the middle of the night. The onset of gout in the middle of the night is closely related to abnormal liver and gallbladder meridian. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy and possible mechanism of action of Tongbixiao pills in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis. The Tongbixiao pills we used included several traditional Chinese medicines, most of which tonify the spleen; strengthen the liver; benefit the kidney; and reduce heat, dampness, and blood stasis. In this randomized clinical study of 105 patients, we found that Tongbixiao pills can reduce uric acid levels in hyperuricemia patients. Additionally, the efficacy was similar to that of allopurinol and the level of uric acid did not increase significantly at eight weeks after withdrawal. In the absence of notable adverse reactions, Tongbixiao pills can also increase uric acid excretion, reduce serum creatinine and lipid levels, and reduce inflammation and relieve gout symptoms. In addition, we used SD rats to simulate gout and arthritis and divided them into five groups: normal group, model group, low-dose group, medium-dose group, and high-dose group. The inflammatory indices of the 40 SD rats were observed. After seven days, ankle swelling in rats in the treatment group was significantly reduced. The indices of uric acid, creatinine, and urea nitrogen in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the model group, which proved that Tongbixiao pills could inhibit hyperuricemia in rats, thus treating gout. This study demonstrates that Tongbixiao pills can treat gout, provide more treatment options for gouty arthritis, and improve the quality of life of patients.

    Abstract: To evaluate intraocular lens (IOL) constant optimization in toric IOL calculation with keratometry (K) and total corneal refractive power (TCRP). Methods Predicted spherical equivalent (SE) and residual astigmatism (RA) with K and TCRP were retrospectively calculated using the Haigis, Holladay 1, and SRK/T formulae and optimized IOL constants. The results of the Barrett calculator and the Abulafia–Koch formula with K were also calculated. The median absolute error in SE (MedAE-SE), mean absolute error in RA (MAE-RA), and centroid error (CE) were analyzed. Results Seventy-nine eyes of 71 patients implanted with toric IOLs were included. With K, there were no significant differences between the results before and after constant optimization using all the formulae. With TCRP, constant optimization significantly reduced MedAE-SE; however, significantly increased MAE-RA and CE using the Holladay 1 and SRK/T formulae. MedAE-SE, MAE-RA, and CE using the Haigis formula did not show significant differences. The difference in the predicted RA before and after constant optimization increased with IOL toricity. The MedAE-SE predicted by TCRP was significantly higher than that predicted by K despite constant optimization. The MAE-RA and CE predicted by TCRP were significantly lower than those predicted by K without posterior corneal astigmatism optimization; however, were not significantly different from those predicted by the Barrett and Abulafia-Koch formulae. Conclusions Constant optimization is recommended when using the TCRP in toric IOL calculations, particularly for patients with large astigmatism. However, TCRP did not yield more accurate results than optimized K in toric IOL calculations despite constant optimization.

    Abstract: The optimal blood pressure lowering target in the acute phase of severe stroke is uncertain. Our aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of individualized blood pressure lowering with standard blood pressure lowering in severe stroke. Methods Five-hundred consecutive patients with acute severe stroke and elevated BP were recruited from 26 Chinese hospitals. Eligible patients were randomized into an individualized blood pressure lowering group (with 10–15% reduction in systolic blood pressure from admission level or standard blood pressure lowering group (with a target SBP of 〈 200 mm Hg in acute ischemic stroke and 〈 180 mm Hg in intracerebral hemorrhage). The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with a poor functional outcome at day 90 of enrolment. Results Of 483 participants included in the analysis, 242 received individualized blood pressure lowering treatment and 241 received standard treatment. The primary outcome event was observed in 71.1% of the participants in the individualized treatment group and in 73.4% of the standard treatment group (odds ratio with individualized treatment for primary outcome, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.47 to 1.19; p = 0.222). The rates of serious adverse events in the two groups were similar (27.7% vs. 28.2%). Conclusions In patients with acute severe stoke, individualized blood pressure lowering treatment did not significantly reduce the rate of three-month death or dependence.
