Objective:To investigate the relations between enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) and cognitive impairment in patients with acute mild ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 234 patients with acute mild ischemic stroke admitted to our hospital from October 2019 to June 2021 were chosen in our study. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores 7 d after admission, these patients were divided into normal cognitive function group (MoCA scores≥26) and cognitive impairment group (MoCA scores<26). The clinical data and imaging data of patients from the 2 groups were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors for post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlations of severity degrees of EPVS of basal ganglia with MoCA total scores and each cognitive domain scores in patients from cognitive impairment group.Results:Among the 234 patients, 73 (31.2%) had normal cognitive function and 161 (68.8%) had cognitive impairment. As compared with normal cognitive function group, patients from cognitive impairment group had significantly older age, significantly less years of education, statistically higher fasting blood glucose level, significantly higher proportion of patients with moderate and severe basal ganglia EPVS, and significantly higher proportion of patients with white matter lesion (WML) grading 2 and 3 ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, years of education, basal ganglia EPVS and WML grading were independent influencing factors for PSCI ( OR=1.049, 95%CI: 1.007-1.093, P=0.021; OR=0.910, 95%CI: 0.832-0.995, P=0.039; OR=0.760, 95%CI: 1.176-2.637, P=0.006; OR=2.270, 95%CI: 1.219-4.228, P=0.010). Correlation analysis showed that the severity degrees of basal ganglia EPVS were negatively correlated with MoCA scores, and scores of visual space and executive ability scale, attention scale, language scale and delayed recall scale ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Acute mild ischemic stroke patients with older age, less years of education, severer basal ganglia EPVS and higher WML grading trends to have cognitive impairment; basal ganglia EPVS mainly affects the cognitive domains of visual space and executive ability, attention, language, and delayed recall.

Objective:To study the associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of rs4977574/rs1537378 in ANRIL gene and risk of ischemic stroke. Methods:PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP Data were searched from inception to September 2020 to collect literatures about randomized controlled trials on associations between SNPs of rs4977574/rs1537378 in ANRIL gene and risk of ischemic stroke. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, the literatures were selected and the data were extracted; Stata15.1 software was used for Meta analysis of the literatures. Results:About the associations between rs4977574 polymorphism of ANRIL gene and risk of ischemic stroke, a total of 7 articles were chosen, including 12 553 patients in the case group and 15 547 patients in the control group; about the associations between rs1537378 polymorphism of ANRIL gene and risk of ischemic stroke, a total of 6 articles were chosen, including 6166 patients in case group and 6129 patients in control group. The results of Meta analysis indicated that rs4977574 polymorphism had a significant association with ischemic stroke susceptibility under 5 genetic models: allele model [G vs. A]: OR=1.110, 95%CI: 1.020-1.210, P=0.010; dominance model ([GG+GA] v s. AA): OR=1.170, 95%CI: 1.070-1.280, P=0.001; recessive model (GG vs. [GA+AA]): OR=1.160, 95%CI: 1.050-1.280, P=0.020; homozygote model (GG vs. AA): OR=1.260, 95%CI: 1.130-1.420, P=0.000; heterozygote model (GA vs. AA): OR=1.130, 95%CI: 1.030-1.240, P=0.010. The rs1537378 polymorphism was associated with reduced risk of ischemic stroke under 5 genetic models: allele model (T vs. C): OR=0.800, 95%CI: 0.700-0.920, P=0.001; dominance model ([TT+TC] vs. CC): OR=0.790, 95%CI: 0.680-0.920, P=0.002; recessive model (TT vs. [TC+CC]): OR=0.830, 95%CI: 0.740-0.930, P=0.001; homozygote model (TT vs. CC): OR=0.780, 95%CI: 0.690-0.880, P=0.000; heterozygote model (TC vs. CC): OR=0.870, 95%CI: 0.810-0.940, P=0.001. Conclusions:The rs4977574 polymorphism in ANRIL gene is a susceptibility factor for ischemic stroke, and allele G of this locus can significantly increase the risk of ischemic stroke. The rs1537378 polymorphism in ANRIL gene is a protective factor for ischemic stroke, and carrying this allele T can reduce the risk of ischemic stroke.

Objective To find out about the causes of death of child-bearing women in Shenyang so as to provide basis for the improvement of child-bearing women's reproductive health. Methods A retrospective statistical survey into the death reporting system of Shenyang was conducted and a comparison was made between various age groups of child-bearing women from 1996 to 2000 with regard to the trends of changes in death, the rank order of causes of death and deaths due to malignant tumors. Results From 1996 to 2000, the death rate of child-bearing women in Shenyang was in a state of fluctuation. The case-death ratio in urban areas was 67.24 per 100 thousand people while the case-death ratio in rural areas was 45.97 per 100 thousand. Urban women aged 35 to 49 accounted for most of the deaths among child-bearing women. The rate of death due to cancers in urban areas was markedly higher than that in rural areas. The deaths of child-bearing women due to mammary and reproductive system cancers accounted for one fourths of deaths caused by cancer, with their incidence rate in rural areas being higher than in urban areas. Conclusion More work needs to be done to improve the healthcare of child-bearing women.
