RESUMO

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the influence of a step-by-step inpatient rehabilitation program (SIRP) on the self-care capability and quality of life of patients who have undergone intravascular stent implantation to treat large vessel occlusion during acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods: This study included a cohort of 90 patients with ACI who received intravascular stent implantations at a tertiary hospital in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2020 to February 2024. The patients were followed up for at least 3 months. Cohort grouping was based on the type of nursing care each patient received. The observation group participated in SIRP along with receiving routine nursing care, whereas the control group received only routine nursing care. Key outcome measures included the Barthel index, the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, the incidence of complications, length of hospital stay, and 36-item short-form survey (SF-36) scores. These parameters were compared between the two groups. Results: At the time of admission, there were no significant differences in demographic data, NIHSS score, Barthel index, or SF-36 scores between the observation and control groups (all p > 0.05). However, at 3 months postoperatively, the observation group showed significant improvements, with higher average scores in the Barthel index (62.49 ± 7.32 vs. 53.16 ± 4.37, p < 0.001) and SF-36 scores (502.33 ± 14.28 vs. 417.64 ± 9.65, p < 0.001). Additionally, this group had significantly lower NIHSS scores (3.38 ± 1.19 vs. 10.24 ± 2.10, p < 0.001), fewer complications (3 vs. 15, p = 0.002), and shorter hospital stays (12.40 ± 1.68 vs. 15.56 ± 1.87, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Implementing SIRP notably enhanced self-care capabilities and overall quality of life, while also reducing complication rates and the length of hospital stays for patients with ACI who underwent intravascular stent implantation. This underscores the potential benefits of incorporating structured rehabilitation programs in the treatment and recovery processes of such patients.

RESUMO

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has a high metastatic rate, and its incidence and mortality are still rising. The aim of this study was to identify the key tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) affecting the distant metastasis and prognosis of patients with ccRCC and to construct a relevant prognostic panel to predict immunotherapy response. Based on ccRCC bulk RNA sequencing data, resting mast cells (RMCs) were screened and verified using the CIBERSORT algorithm, survival analysis, and expression analysis. Distant metastasis-associated genes were identified using single-cell RNA sequencing data. Subsequently, a three-gene (CFB, PPP1R18, and TOM1L1) panel with superior distant metastatic and prognostic performance was established and validated, which stratified patients into high- and low-risk groups. The high-risk group exhibited lower infiltration of RMCs, higher tumor mutation burden (TMB), and worse prognosis. Therapeutically, the high-risk group was more sensitive to anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy, whereas the low-risk group displayed a better response to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy. Furthermore, two immune clusters revealing distinct immune, clinical, and prognosis heterogeneity were distinguished. Immunohistochemistry of ccRCC samples verified the expression patterns of the three key genes. Collectively, the prognostic panel based on RMCs is able to predict distant metastasis and immunotherapy response in patients with ccRCC, providing new insight for the treatment of advanced ccRCC.

RESUMO

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common malignancy with high distant metastasis rate. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are reported to be upregulated or downregulated in multiple cancers and play a crucial role in the metastasis of tumors or prognosis. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to construct a prognostic signature for ccRCC based on distant metastasis-related lncRNAs and explore the involved potential competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) screened from the database of the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) were used to construct a co-expression network and identify the distant metastasis-related module by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Key genes with metastatic and prognostic significance were identified through rigorous screening, including survival analysis, correlation analysis, and expression analyses in stage, grade, and distant metastasis, and were verified in the data set of gene expression omnibus (GEO) and the database from gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA). The potential upstream miRNAs and lncRNAs were predicted via five online databases and LncBase. Here, we constructed a ceRNA network of key genes that are significantly associated with the distant metastasis and prognosis of patients with ccRCC. The distant metastasis-related lncRNAs were used to construct a risk score model through the univariate, least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO), and multivariate Cox regression analyses, and the patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups according to the median of the risk score. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that mortality was significantly higher in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group. Considering the other clinical phenotype, the Cox regression analyses indicated that the lncRNAs model could function as an independent prognostic factor. Quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR in the tissues and cells of ccRCC verified the high-expression level of three lncRNAs. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed that the lncRNA prognostic signature was mainly enriched in autophagy- and immune-related pathways, indicating that the autophagy and immune functions may play an important role in the distant metastasis of ccRCC. In summary, the constructed distant metastasis-related lncRNA signature could independently predict prognosis in patients with ccRCC, and the related ceRNA network provided a new sight on the potential mechanism of distant metastasis and a promising therapeutic target for ccRCC.

RESUMO

The quality of bitumen directly affects road performance and road life. Traditional analytical methods-for wax content, softening point and penetration of bitumen are tedious and time-consuming. A new fast method, with which the three properties can be determined at same time, is proposed in this paper. The spectra of 220 bitumen were collected and their wax content, softening point and penetration data were determined according to the standard JTJ052-2000. The quantitative calibration models for wax content, softening point and penetration were established using partial least squares (PLS), with SECV 0.13, 0.88, 3.18 and SEP 0.14, 1.06, 3.90, less than the reproducibility error stipulated in the standard method. Three samples were in random selected to test the repeatability, the results met the precision requirement of the standard method. With its advantages of better repeatability, fast, easy operation, the new method can be used as an alternative for the determination of wax content, softening point and penetration of bitumen.
