Purpose: This study investigated the behavioral and resting-state neural correlates of clinical decision-making among expert gastroenterologists and novice medical students, aiming to understand how diagnostic expertise is reflected in either pre-task and/or post-task brain activity.

Method: Participants completed a clinical decision-making task while behavioral measures (accuracy and response time) were recorded. Resting-state fMRI data were acquired immediately before and following the task. Group differences in brain connectivity were analyzed using seed-based connectivity and multivariate partial least squares (PLS) analyses, focusing on the frontopolar prefrontal cortex (FPPFC) and its associated networks.

Finding: Experts outperformed novices in diagnostic accuracy and speed, especially on "easy" cases, suggesting enhanced cognitive efficiency. Experts also showed more pronounced response time variation with task difficulty, potentially reflecting strategic modulation. Resting-state fMRI revealed that experts had increased post-task connectivity between the FPPFC and the paracingulate gyrus (PaCG), a brain area associated with the executive control network. Novices, by contrast, showed stronger FPPFC connectivity with the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), part of the default mode network (DMN), indicating a return to internally directed cognition. PLS analyses further revealed that experts engaged executive and attentional network regions post-task, while novices primarily activated DMN regions. Notably, for the expert group only, increased brain activity in attention-related regions was associated with gastroenterologists who had slower, deliberate responses on easy cases.

Conclusion: Clinical expertise is associated with sustained engagement of goal-directed neural networks after task completion, potentially reflecting ongoing cognitive evaluation or preparation. In contrast, novices appear to disengage more readily, reverting to self-referential thought. These findings highlight distinct neural mechanisms that may support the development of diagnostic expertise.

目的:本研究调查了胃肠病学专家和医学生新手临床决策的行为和静息状态神经相关因素,旨在了解诊断专长如何反映在任务前和/或任务后的大脑活动中。方法:参与者完成临床决策任务,同时记录行为测量(准确性和反应时间)。静息状态fMRI数据是在任务之前和之后立即获得的。使用基于种子的连通性和多元偏最小二乘(PLS)分析脑连通性的组差异,重点分析额极前额叶皮层(FPPFC)及其相关网络。发现:专家在诊断准确性和速度上优于新手,特别是在“简单”病例上,这表明他们的认知效率更高。专家们还发现,反应时间随任务难度的变化更为明显,这可能反映了策略调节。静息状态功能磁共振显示,专家们增加了FPPFC和副扣带回(PaCG)之间的任务后连接,PaCG是一个与执行控制网络相关的大脑区域。相比之下,新手的FPPFC与默认模式网络(DMN)的一部分后扣带皮层(PCC)的连通性更强,表明他们回到了内定向认知。PLS分析进一步揭示,专家在任务后参与执行和注意网络区域,而新手主要激活DMN区域。值得注意的是,仅就专家组而言,注意力相关区域的大脑活动增加与胃肠病学家有关,他们对简单病例的反应较慢,深思熟虑。结论:临床专业知识与任务完成后目标导向神经网络的持续参与有关,潜在地反映了正在进行的认知评估或准备。相比之下,新手似乎更容易脱离,回到自我参照思维。这些发现突出了不同的神经机制,可能支持诊断专业知识的发展。

目的:综合脑梗死(缺血性卒中)病理生理和治疗中受调控、铁依赖性、非凋亡细胞死亡途径铁凋亡的机制见解和转化进展,概述临床应用的治疗机会和仍存在的差距。方法:叙述,重点回顾临床前和转化研究(体外,离体和体内缺血/再灌注和大脑中动脉闭塞模型),以及截至2025年报道的新兴生物标志物,纳米载体和基于基因/ rna的策略。证据组织在五个领域:(1)氧化还原和脂质过氧化生物学;(2)铁代谢和铁蛋白自噬;(3)线粒体功能障碍;(4)神经炎症和血脑屏障完整性;(5)治疗开发和早期临床探索。发现:脑梗死的铁死亡是由谷胱甘肽耗竭、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶-4 (GPX4)失活和铁催化的多不饱和磷脂脂质过氧化引起的,酰基辅酶a合成酶长链家族成员-4 (ACSL4)和溶血磷脂酰转移酶-3 (LPCAT3)引发氧化损伤膜。线粒体活性氧、铁硫团簇不稳定和心磷脂氧化增强了铁致凋亡信号,而铁致凋亡-炎症串扰(通过损伤相关的分子模式和小胶质细胞激活)加重了继发性损伤和血脑屏障破坏。候选生物标志物(如氧化脂素、8-异前列腺素F2α、GPX4片段、基因对如CDKN1A/JUN、NFE2L2通路读数)显示出患者分层的希望。药理学方法——包括自由基捕获抗氧化剂(铁他汀-1、利普斯他汀-1)、铁螯合和核因子红细胞2相关因子2 (Nrf2)激活——在动物模型中一致地减少梗死体积并改善功能。纳米颗粒制剂增强了铁死亡调节剂的脑递送,RNA/基因靶向策略(例如,SLC7A11/GPX4/FSP1轴;外泌体非编码RNA)扩展了治疗工具箱。临床上,铁调节策略在缺血性脑卒中中是可行的;然而,专门的、生物标志物引导的铁下垂试验仍然有限。结论:铁下垂是缺血性神经元死亡和继发性脑损伤的一种趋同的、可行的机制。结合脂质过氧化控制、铁稳态、线粒体保护和炎症解决的多模式干预在生物学上是引人注目的。接下来的关键步骤包括:验证用于患者选择和时机选择的实时生物标志物;优化脑渗透输送系统;将铁下垂调节与再灌注治疗相结合;并推进严格设计的II/III期试验,以确定确定的卒中亚型的有效性和安全性。

Objective: To develop and assess the efficacy of a rehabilitation-cognition integrated care (RCIC) program for elderly patients with lower limb fractures and mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment.

Methods: A total of 128 eligible patients during January 2023 to December 2024 were randomly allocated to conventional (n = 64) or integrated care group (n = 64). Both groups received 12 weeks of intervention. Outcomes, including Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores, were compared. Serum neurotrophic and neuroinflammatory markers were analyzed pre- and post-intervention. Complications, fall recurrence rates, and nursing satisfaction were recorded.

Results: Post-intervention, both groups showed improved FMA, BBS, and FIM scores, with significantly greater improvement in the integrated care group (p < 0.05). HADS-Anxiety (HADS-A) and HADS-Depression (HADS-D) scores decreased significantly more in the integrated care group (p < 0.05). The integrated care group demonstrated higher MoCA scores versus both its own baseline and the conventional care group post-intervention (p < 0.05). Serum BDNF and GDNF levels increased significantly in the integrated care group compared to both time-matched controls and its baseline (p < 0.05), while S100-β and IL-6 levels decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The integrated care group had lower overall complication rates (p < 0.05), comparable fall recurrence (p > 0.05), and higher nursing satisfaction (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The RCIC program significantly enhances motor function, balance, cognition, and psychological status while reducing complications and improving satisfaction in elderly fracture patients with cognitive impairment.

目的:探讨康复-认知综合护理(RCIC)方案对老年下肢骨折伴轻中度认知功能障碍患者的疗效。方法:2023年1月至2024年12月,128例符合条件的患者随机分为常规组(n = 64)和综合护理组(n = 64)。两组均接受12周的干预。结果包括Fugl-Meyer评估(FMA)、Berg平衡量表(BBS)、蒙特利尔认知评估(MoCA)、功能独立性测量(FIM)和医院焦虑和抑郁量表(HADS)评分进行比较。分析干预前后血清神经营养和神经炎症标志物。记录并发症、跌倒复发率及护理满意度。结果:干预后,两组患者FMA、BBS、FIM评分均有改善,其中综合护理组改善更显著(p < 0.05)。综合护理组的hads -焦虑(HADS-A)和hads -抑郁(HADS-D)评分下降幅度明显大于综合护理组(p < 0.05)。综合护理组干预后的MoCA评分高于其自身基线和常规护理组(p < 0.05)。与时间匹配对照组及其基线相比,综合护理组血清BDNF和GDNF水平显著升高(p < 0.05),而S100-β和IL-6水平显著降低(p < 0.05)。综合护理组总体并发症发生率较低(p < 0.05),相对跌倒复发率较低(p < 0.05),护理满意度较高(p < 0.05)。结论:RCIC方案可显著提高老年骨折合并认知功能障碍患者的运动功能、平衡、认知和心理状态,减少并发症,提高满意度。

Introduction: Although visual mental imagery has been widely researched, a lack of valid measures in Persian-speaking populations has limited cross-cultural, developmental, and clinical research on imagery vividness and its role in reality monitoring.

Methods: We translated, culturally adapted, and psychometrically validated the Persian version of the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire-2 (VVIQ-Pr2) in this cross-sectional study. Our sample was 630 Persian speakers. Participants completed the VVIQ-Pr2 together with the Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ-2), the Spontaneous Use of Imagery Scale (SUIS), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group modeling were also conducted.

Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported a unidimensional structure with correlated residuals demonstrating excellent model fit. The scale showed strong internal consistency. Convergent validity was confirmed by positive correlations with VMIQ-2 and SUIS, while discriminant validity was supported by negligible associations with anxiety and all Heterotrait-Monotrait ratios falling below recommended thresholds. Scalar measurement invariance across gender was established with females scoring slightly higher than males. Finally, age modeling revealed a slight decrease in the vividness of imagery from adolescence to early adulthood, followed by relative stability after that.

Conclusion: The VVIQ-Pr2 is a psychometrically reliable assessment tool for Persian speakers. In addition to operationalizing subjective visual experience in theories on reality monitoring, it may facilitate future cross-cultural and developmental research.

虽然视觉心理意象已被广泛研究,但在波斯语人群中缺乏有效的测量方法,限制了对意象生动性及其在现实监测中的作用的跨文化、发展和临床研究。方法:在这项横断面研究中,我们翻译、文化适应和心理测量学验证了波斯语版本的视觉意象生动度问卷-2 (VVIQ-Pr2)。我们的样本是630名波斯语使用者。参与者在完成VVIQ-Pr2的同时,还完成了运动意象生动度问卷(VMIQ-2)、自发性意象使用量表(SUIS)、广泛性焦虑障碍-7 (GAD-7)和十项人格量表(TIPI)。并进行了验证性因子分析和多组建模。结果:验证性因子分析支持一维结构,相关残差显示良好的模型拟合。量表具有较强的内部一致性。收敛效度与VMIQ-2和SUIS呈正相关,而判别效度与焦虑和所有异性状-单性状比低于推荐阈值的相关性可以忽略。性别间存在标量测量不变性,女性得分略高于男性。最后,年龄模型显示,从青春期到成年早期,意象的生动度略有下降,之后相对稳定。结论:VVIQ-Pr2是波斯语使用者心理测量学上可靠的评估工具。除了在现实监测理论中实现主观视觉经验的操作性外,它还可以促进未来的跨文化和发展研究。

Introduction: Prenatal substance exposure is an increasing problem that has been linked to multiple neurodevelopmental impairments and alterations to brain functional connectivity.

Methods: Behavioral scores and functional network correlation data were obtained from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM (ABCD) Study. First, behavioral scores based on the child behavioral checklist were tested for associations with prenatal exposure to several substances along with demographic data. Then differences in resting-state functional networks were assessed based on prenatal substance exposure. Third, we assessed the impact of resting-state functional networks on behavioral scores. A linear regression was used for all these analyses, and a false discovery rate < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: Based on the selection criteria, 6674 subjects were included in the analysis. Prenatal tobacco exposure (PTE), prenatal marijuana exposure, household income, and food insecurity were associated with worse behavioral scores. Additionally, PTE was significantly associated with increased connectivity between the default mode network (DMN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) and decreased intra-network connectivity within the DAN. Finally, there were five CBCL scales that were associated with differences in network connectivity.

Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest PTE to be associated with multiple functional networks, including those associated with several CBCL scales.

产前物质暴露是一个日益严重的问题,与多种神经发育障碍和脑功能连接的改变有关。方法:从青少年大脑认知发展(ABCD)研究中获取行为评分和功能网络相关数据。首先,基于儿童行为检查表的行为得分与产前接触几种物质以及人口统计数据的关系进行了测试。然后根据产前物质暴露评估静息状态功能网络的差异。第三,我们评估了静息状态功能网络对行为评分的影响。所有这些分析都使用线性回归,错误发现率< 0.05被认为是显著的。结果:根据入选标准,共纳入受试者6674例。产前烟草暴露(PTE)、产前大麻暴露、家庭收入和食品不安全与较差的行为得分有关。此外,PTE与默认模式网络(DMN)和背侧注意网络(DAN)之间的连通性增加以及DAN内网络内连通性降低显著相关。最后,有五个CBCL量表与网络连通性的差异相关。结论:综上所述,这些结果表明PTE与多种功能网络相关,包括与几种CBCL量表相关的功能网络。

Introduction

Severe insomnia symptoms increase the risk of persistent sleep disorders, underscoring the need for timely identification to optimize therapeutic interventions. Given the established association between chronic insomnia disorder (CID) and gut microbiota, this study aimed to evaluate the utility of gut microbiota characteristics for stratifying CID severity.

Methods

A total of 65 patients with CID were categorized into two groups based on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores: S-CID (more severe poor sleep quality; median age: 36, IQR: 30–47; M/F: 12/22) and M-CID (milder poor sleep quality; median age: 33, IQR: 25–43; M/F: 11/20). Thirty healthy controls (HC; median age: 32, IQR: 26–48; M/F: 8/22) were also included. All participants underwent polysomnography and clinical assessments. Fecal samples were collected and analyzed via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We compared microbial structure across severity groups, identified key bacterial genera using LASSO regression and the Boruta algorithm, and examined their correlations with sleep parameters via Spearman analysis. Functional pathway predictions were performed with PICRUSt2. A random forest model was constructed to evaluate severity-stratified discriminative capacity.

Results

Significant alterations in gut microbial diversity and composition were observed in S-CID patients compared to HC, whereas M-CID patients showed less pronounced differences. Seven key bacterial genera were identified and consistently correlated with sleep parameters. Functional perturbations in glutamate/butanoate metabolism and branched-chain amino acid degradation pathways differed by severity. The random forest model demonstrated moderate efficacy (AUC = 0.711–0.730) in distinguishing S-CID patients based on microbial signatures.

Conclusion

This study reveals distinct gut microbial signatures associated with varying severity levels of CID, providing insights that may support the development of microbiota-based diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

严重的失眠症状增加了持续性睡眠障碍的风险,强调了及时识别以优化治疗干预的必要性。鉴于慢性失眠症(CID)与肠道微生物群之间的关联,本研究旨在评估肠道微生物群特征对CID严重程度分层的效用。方法:根据匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)评分将65例CID患者分为两组:S-CID(较重度睡眠质量差,年龄中位数:36岁,IQR: 30-47; M/F: 12/22)和M-CID(较轻度睡眠质量差,年龄中位数:33岁,IQR: 25-43; M/F: 11/20)。同时纳入健康对照30例(HC,中位年龄32岁,IQR: 26-48, M/F: 8/22)。所有参与者都进行了多导睡眠描记和临床评估。收集粪便样本,通过16S rRNA基因测序进行分析。我们比较了不同严重程度组的微生物结构,使用LASSO回归和Boruta算法确定了关键细菌属,并通过Spearman分析检查了它们与睡眠参数的相关性。用PICRUSt2进行功能通路预测。建立了随机森林模型来评价严重分层判别能力。结果:与HC相比,S-CID患者的肠道微生物多样性和组成发生了显著变化,而M-CID患者的差异不太明显。七个关键的细菌属被确定并与睡眠参数一致相关。谷氨酸/丁酸代谢和支链氨基酸降解途径的功能扰动因严重程度而异。随机森林模型在根据微生物特征区分S-CID患者方面表现出中等疗效(AUC = 0.711-0.730)。结论:本研究揭示了与不同严重程度的CID相关的不同肠道微生物特征,为基于微生物群的诊断和治疗干预的发展提供了见解。

Introduction

Cognitive outcomes following brain insult are shaped by a range of factors, including genetic predispositions. Emerging evidence indicates that specific genetic variants may affect the susceptibility to cognitive impairment in individual patients. In this systematic review we summarize the evidence for genetic variants on cognitive outcomes following brain insults.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, bioRxiv, medRxiv, reference lists, and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify studies published before June 14, 2023, reporting associations between genetic variants and cognitive outcomes following brain insults. Only studies conducted in humans and published in English were included. A broad definition of brain insults was applied, with a primary focus on stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and brain tumors. All articles underwent bias assessment using the JBI critical appraisal tools.

Results

Of the 121 studies included, 80 (66%) were rated as low risk of bias. The APOE gene was investigated in 56% of TBI studies, 52% of stroke studies, and 43% of studies on other brain injuries. Of the 74 studies on APOE, 50 (68%) focused on the ε4 allele, with 39 studies (87%) reporting associations between the ε4 allele and worse cognitive outcomes. The BDNF rs6265 polymorphism was examined in 18 studies, 15 of which reported significant effects on cognitive outcomes. However, the direction of these effects was inconsistent, with seven studies linking the G allele and seven the A allele to worse cognitive outcomes. For the COMT rs4680 polymorphism, nine out of 12 studies reported worsened cognitive outcomes linked to the G allele, while several reported a protective association for the A allele. Injury- and population-specific patterns were not consistent.

Conclusion

This systematic review suggests that APOE-ε4 and potentially the G allele of COMT rs4680 are associated with poor cognitive outcomes following brain insults. The type of brain injury does not appear to influence whether genetic variants predispose to favorable or unfavorable cognitive outcomes. Future research may benefit from focusing on these markers, particularly in larger datasets, to validate these findings.

脑损伤后的认知结果受一系列因素影响,包括遗传易感性。新出现的证据表明,特定的遗传变异可能影响个体患者对认知障碍的易感性。在这篇系统综述中,我们总结了脑损伤后认知结果的遗传变异的证据。方法:系统检索PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, bioRxiv, medRxiv,参考文献列表和ClinicalTrials.gov,以确定2023年6月14日之前发表的研究,报告遗传变异与脑损伤后认知结果之间的关联。仅纳入了用英语发表的人类研究。脑损伤的广泛定义被应用,主要集中在中风、创伤性脑损伤(TBI)和脑肿瘤。使用JBI关键评估工具对所有文章进行偏倚评估。结果:纳入的121项研究中,80项(66%)被评为低偏倚风险。56%的TBI研究、52%的中风研究和43%的其他脑损伤研究都研究了APOE基因。在74项关于APOE的研究中,50项(68%)研究集中在ε4等位基因上,39项(87%)研究报告了ε4等位基因与较差的认知结果之间的关联。18项研究检测了BDNF rs6265多态性,其中15项研究报告了对认知结果的显著影响。然而,这些影响的方向是不一致的,七项研究将G等位基因和七项A等位基因与更差的认知结果联系起来。对于COMT rs4680多态性,12项研究中有9项报告了与G等位基因有关的认知结果恶化,而有几项报告了与a等位基因有关的保护性关联。伤害和特定人群的模式并不一致。结论:本系统综述提示APOE-ε4和COMT rs4680的G等位基因可能与脑损伤后认知预后不良有关。脑损伤的类型似乎并不影响遗传变异是否倾向于有利或不利的认知结果。未来的研究可能会受益于关注这些标记,特别是在更大的数据集中,以验证这些发现。

Purpose

DYT1 dystonia is the most common inherited dystonia, but mouse models recapitulating the human genotype do not exhibit overtly dystonic movements. Because cortical and striatal plasticity are implicated in dystonia pathogenesis, we hypothesized that repetitive performance of a cortically-dependent reach-to-grasp task would induce abnormal dystonia-like movements in DYT1-knock in (DYT-KI) mice. The goal of these experiments was to test that hypothesis.

Methods

TorsinA ΔE (DYT1-KI) mutant mice and non-transgenic littermates (control) were trained to perform a cortically-dependent single pellet reach-to-grasp task using an automated skilled reach-to-grasp apparatus. Task performance and the presence of abnormal movements were manually scored by reviewers blinded to genotype.

Results

Six DYT1-KI and five littermate control mice performed at least 500 skilled reaches per animal. There were no differences in success or fumble rate between DYT1-KI and control mice. DYT1-KI mice exhibited subtle abnormal limb shaking in five trials, but a similar movement occurred in one control mouse in one trial.

Conclusions

DYT1-KI mice learn and perform skilled reach-to-grasp comparably to control mice without developing meaningful abnormal movements.

目的:DYT1肌张力障碍是最常见的遗传性肌张力障碍,但再现人类基因型的小鼠模型并未表现出明显的肌张力障碍运动。由于皮质和纹状体可塑性与肌张力障碍的发病机制有关,我们假设重复执行皮质依赖的伸手抓任务会导致dyt1敲入(DYT-KI)小鼠异常的肌张力障碍样运动。这些实验的目的就是为了验证这个假设。方法:对TorsinA ΔE (DYT1-KI)突变小鼠和非转基因幼崽(对照)进行训练,使用自动化技术手抓装置执行皮质依赖的单颗粒手抓任务。任务表现和异常运动的存在由盲法基因型审稿人手动评分。结果:6只DYT1-KI和5只同窝对照小鼠每只至少完成500次熟练动作。与对照组相比,DYT1-KI的成功率和失败率均无差异。DYT1-KI小鼠在五次试验中表现出轻微的异常肢体抖动,但在一次试验中,一只对照小鼠出现了类似的运动。结论:DYT1-KI小鼠与对照组小鼠学习和执行熟练的手抓动作相当,未出现有意义的异常动作。

Purpose

To investigate the clinical features, treatment, and outcome of patients with autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP-A).

Methods

Medical records and collected case data from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from November 2020 to May 2024 and retrospectively analyzed the clinical features, radiological findings, laboratory findings, treatment, and outcomes of patients with autoimmune GFAP-A.

Results

Twenty-nine eligible patients were included, predominantly male (21/29), with acute onset in 17 patients (58.6%). Common clinical syndromes included encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, encephalomyelitis, meningoencephalomyelitis, and myelitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed widespread lesions (21/28). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, CSF nucleated cell count, CSF protein levels, CSF chloride, serum thyroid dysfunction, and abnormal blood cytokine levels correlated with disease severity but were not associated with prognosis. There was no correlation between CSF glucose level, serum GFAP antibody titer, CSF GFAP antibody titer, ferritin levels, human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4) in the CSF, and disease severity or prognosis. No malignancies were detected in any patient before or after disease onset. Most patients (25/29) had favorable outcomes. Immunotherapy was effective for both the short- and long-term prognosis of GFAP-associated disease. Non-pulse steroid therapy and pulse steroid therapy showed comparable efficacy, while monoclonal antibody therapy was also potentially effective for GFAP-A.

目的:探讨自身免疫性胶质原纤维酸性蛋白星形细胞病(gmap - a)患者的临床特点、治疗及转归。方法:收集浙江大学医学院第一附属医院2020年11月至2024年5月的病历和病例资料,回顾性分析自身免疫性gmap - a患者的临床特征、影像学表现、实验室检查、治疗和结局。结果:纳入29例符合条件的患者,以男性为主(21/29),17例患者急性起病(58.6%)。常见临床综合征包括脑炎、脑膜脑炎、脑脊髓炎、脑膜脑脊髓炎和脊髓炎。脑磁共振成像(MRI)显示广泛病变(21/28)。脑脊液压力、脑脊液有核细胞计数、脑脊液蛋白水平、脑脊液氯化物、血清甲状腺功能障碍和异常血液细胞因子水平与疾病严重程度相关,但与预后无关。脑脊液葡萄糖水平、血清GFAP抗体滴度、脑脊液GFAP抗体滴度、铁蛋白水平、脑脊液人疱疹病毒4 (HHV-4)水平与疾病严重程度或预后无相关性。患者发病前后均未发现恶性肿瘤。大多数患者(25/29)预后良好。免疫治疗对gfap相关疾病的短期和长期预后均有效。非脉冲类固醇治疗和脉冲类固醇治疗的疗效相当,而单克隆抗体治疗对gmap - a也可能有效。

Objectives

The study analyzes the link between cardiovascular health, measured through the Life's Simple 7 (LS7) score, and the potential risk of migraines. Moreover, the research delves into the possibility that better cardiovascular health might lessen overall and cardiovascular-related mortality rates in people with migraines.

Methods

Data were drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Associations between Life's Simple 7 scores and migraine risk were assessed using logistic and restricted cubic spline regressions, with subgroup analyses to examine variations across demographic groups. Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline regressions evaluated the impact of Life's Simple 7 scores on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Results

The likelihood of experiencing migraines was significantly lower with higher Life's Simple 7 scores (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.87–0.94, p < 0.001). Those maintaining ideal cardiovascular health were 43% less likely to suffer from migraines than individuals with poor cardiovascular health (OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.44–0.74, p < 0.001). Restricted cubic spline analysis suggested a non-linear inverse connection between Life's Simple 7 scores and migraine risk, while a linear inverse connection was identified between Life's Simple 7 scores and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among migraine individuals. According to Cox proportional hazards models, higher Life's Simple 7 scores correlated with a decrease in all-cause mortality (HR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80–0.97, p = 0.009) and cardiovascular mortality (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.53–0.86, p = 0.002) in individuals with migraines.

Conclusions

The Life's Simple 7 score suggests that maintaining excellent cardiovascular health is connected to a decreased risk of migraines and better survival outcomes for migraine sufferers.

目的:该研究分析了心血管健康(通过生活简单7 (LS7)评分衡量)与偏头痛潜在风险之间的联系。此外,该研究还探讨了更好的心血管健康可能会降低偏头痛患者的总体死亡率和心血管相关死亡率的可能性。方法:数据来源于全国健康与营养检查调查。使用逻辑回归和限制性三次样条回归来评估生活简单指数7分与偏头痛风险之间的关系,并使用亚组分析来检查不同人口群体之间的差异。Cox比例风险模型和限制性三次样条回归评估了生活简单7评分对全因死亡率和心血管死亡率的影响。结果:生活简单7评分越高,患偏头痛的可能性越低(OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.87-0.94, p < 0.001)。那些保持理想心血管健康的人患偏头痛的可能性比心血管健康不佳的人低43% (OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.44-0.74, p < 0.001)。限制性三次样条分析表明,生活简单7分与偏头痛风险之间存在非线性反比关系,而生活简单7分与偏头痛患者的全因死亡率和心血管死亡率之间存在线性反比关系。根据Cox比例风险模型,较高的生活简单7评分与偏头痛患者全因死亡率(HR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80-0.97, p = 0.009)和心血管死亡率(HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.53-0.86, p = 0.002)的降低相关。结论:简单生活7分表明,保持良好的心血管健康与降低偏头痛风险和提高偏头痛患者的生存率有关。
