OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in the context of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and determine whether any factors affect the quality. METHODS: We searched eight databases along with five international and national organizations to develop or archive guidelines from their inception to July 2023, with an additional search of medlive.cn. And the authoritative organizations related to nephrology. CPGs and consensus statements created using direct differential diagnosis or therapy for DKD were included without language restrictions. Their quality was evaluated by four reviewers using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation â ¡ (AGREE â ¡) instrument. Along with the item and domain scores, the guideline was also allocated an overall quality score, which ranged from 1 (lowest possible quality) to 7 (highest possible quality). Moreover, an overall recommendation for use was also assigned ("recommended", "recommended with modifications" or "not recommended"). RESULTS: A total of 16 CPGs were included, of which 14 were from Asia and the remaining two from Europe. These two CPGs were updated in the third version. Six CPGs were recommended for use because their primary domains scored in the medium or high category. Furthermore, five CPGs were recommended with modifications as the stakeholder involvement, applicability, and editorial independence domains were evaluated as low categories. In all domains, the lowest average score was for rigour of development (33%), followed by application (36%), and stakeholder involvement (51%). The highest average score was for scope and purpose (79%), followed by clarity of presentation (75%). None of the CPGs considered the patient's viewpoint, and six of 16 CPGs did not use any grading system to translate the evidence into recommendations. Additionally, only three of 16 CPGs shared search strategy, and eight of 16 CPGs did not declare a funding source. CONCLUSIONS: According to the AGREE II evaluation, more than one in four CPGs for DKD had poor methodological quality. Enhanced efforts are needed to advance the rigour of development, application, and editorial independence of DKD guideline panels for most guidelines. Stakeholders, CPG developers, and CPG users should consider methodological quality while choosing CPGs, and interpret and implement their issued suggestions.

Objective:To investigate the effect of aspirin on the outcomes in adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease treated with encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS).Methods:Adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease treated EDAS in the Department of Neurosurgery, the Fifth Medical Center, PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to September 2018 were enrolled retrospectively. The control group only received EDAS treatment, and the aspirin group received EDAS and aspirin antiplatelet treatment. The data of the both groups were analyzed retrospectively and the effective rate of operation, the incidence of perioperative intracerebral hemorrhage, the incidence of recurrent cerebrovascular events at 6 months after operation and the improvement rate of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were compared.Results:A total of 120 adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease were enrolled, including 60 in the aspirin group and 60 in the control group. EDAS was performed on 107 cerebral hemispheres in both groups. The operative effective rate in the aspirin group was significantly higher than that in the control group (82.24% vs. 65.42%; χ2=7.836, P=0.005). There was no perioperative cerebral hemorrhage event in the aspirin group and the control group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of cerebral infarction within 6 months after operation, but the incidence of transient ischemic attack in the aspirin group was significantly lower than that in the control group (15% vs. 40%; χ2=9.404, P=0.002). In addition, the improvement rate of mRS score in the aspirin group at 6 months after operation was significantly higher than that in the control group (85% vs. 63.33%; χ2=7.350, P=0.007). Conclusions:The combination of EDAS and aspirin can effectively improve the outcomes of adult patients with ischemic moyamoya disease without increasing the risk of perioperative intracerebral hemorrhage.

OBJECTIVE: An HLA imputation was conducted to explore the relationship between HLA and patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) in the Chinese Han population. METHODS: In this study, we performed an association analysis of the major histocompatibility complex region in 2,786 individuals of Chinese Han ancestry (2,031 controls and 755 patients with MMD), through a widely used HLA imputation method. RESULTS: We identified that the variant rs3129731 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.79, p = 3.69 × 10-16) located between the MTCO3P1 and HLA-DQA2 is a major genetic risk factor for MMD. In addition to this variant, found in the conditional association analysis, we also detected another independent signal, rs1071817 (OR = 0.62, p = 1.20 × 10-11), in HLA-B. CONCLUSIONS: Our research suggests that the genetic polymorphism of HLA-DQA2 and HLA-B could be a genetic predisposing factor for MMD in Chinese Han. This may provide some evidence for further HLA-related studies of patients with MMD of Chinese Han ethnicity and indicates that MMD is an immune-related disease.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between RNF213 gene p. R4810K polymorphism and posterior cerebral artery involvement in Chinese children with familial moyamoya disease.Methods:Children with familial moyamoya disease admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from August 2004 to June 2018 were enrolled, and they were divided into posterior cerebral artery involved group and posterior cerebral artery uninvolved group. RNF213 gene p. R4810K single nucleotide polymorphism was detected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for posterior cerebral artery involvement. Results:A total of 65 children with familial moyamoya disease were enrolled. Their age was 6.98±4.46 years and 37 (56.9%) were male. The first symptom of 55 children (84.6%) was cerebral ischemia, and 37 (56.9%) involved posterior cerebral artery. There were 3 (4.6%) children with p. R4810K AA genotype, 26 (40.0%) with GA genotype, and 36 (55.4%) with GG genotype. The p. R4810K genotype distribution in the posterior cerebral artery involved group was statistically different from that in the uninvolved group (GA+ AA genotype: 56.8% vs. 28.6%; χ2=5.124, P=0.024), and there were no statistical difference in gender, age, first symptom, and genetic pattern. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting the first onset age and gender, p. R4810K G>A mutation was the only independent risk factor for posterior cerebral artery involvement (odds ratio 3.240, 95% confidence interval 1.082-9.705; P=0.020). Conclusion:The p. R4810K polymorphism of RNF213 gene is associated with posterior cerebral artery involvement in Chinese children with familial moyamoya disease.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is spreading on a large scale in China. COVID-19 mainly affects the respiratory system and cause symptoms such as severe hypoxemia and high fever. At present, there is no specific treatment drug, and patients' autoimmunity is closely related to disease prognosis. The brain tissue of patients with moyamoya disease is in a state of ischemia and hypoxia for a long time. Hypoxemia and high fever will aggravate the cerebral ischemia and hypoxia in patients with moyamoya disease, and patients with moyamoya disease may also have autoimmune abnormalities. Because people with moyamoya disease are also likely to have COVID-19 and COVID-19 can cause many conditions that may aggravate the symptoms of patients with moyamoya disease, which brings new problems and challenges to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of moyamoya disease. In this article, the diagnosis and treatment process and prevention and control measures of patients with moyamoya disease under the current epidemic situation are thought, and the key issues in the treatment of patients with moyamoya disease after suffering from COVID-19 are sorted out. It is hoped to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of moyamoya disease under the COVID-19 epidemic situation.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of patients with moyamoya disease and renal artery stenosis. Methods The clinical data such as the first symptom,intracranial vascular lesions,renal artery lesions,treatment and follow-up results of the 15 patients with moyamoya disease and complicated with renal artery stenosis (RAS group)and the baseline-matched 30 moyamoya diseased patients without renal artery stenosis (MMD group)treated at the Department of Neurosurgery,the 307 th Hospital of People′s Liberation Army from March 2009 to June 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Results (1)The moyamoya diseased patients with renal artery stenosis accounted for 1. 6%(15 / 927)of the total number of patients with moyamoya disease admitted in the same period. In the RAS group,the left renal artery stenosis accounted for 5 cases,the right renal artery stenosis accounted for 4 cases,and the bilateral renal artery stenosis accounted for 6 cases. Mild stenosis accounted for 71. 4%(15 / 21 sides), proximal stenosis accounted for 85. 7% (18 / 21 sides). The incidence of hypertension (80. 0%,n = 12) of the RAS group was significantly higher than that of the MMD group (30. 0%,n =9). There was significant difference (χ2 = 10. 045,P Conclusion The incidence of hypertension in patients with RAS is significantly higher than that without RAS,and there is difference between the degree of intracranial vascular lesions and the patients without RAS. Renal artery stenosis is mainly the proximal mild stenosis. Interventional therapy is an effective method for the treatment of moyamoya disease with severe renal artery stenosis;however,the long-term prognosis needs to be further followed up.

ObjectiveToinvestigatetheclinicalfeatures,riskfactorsforbleedingandtreatment outcomes in moyamoya disease patients w ith intracranial aneurysms. Methods The clinical symptoms, location and size of aneurysm, treatment and the long-term folow-up results of the moyamoya disease patients w ith intracranial aneurysms w ere analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 34 moyamoya disease patients w ith intracranial aneurysms (35 aneurysms) w ere enrol ed, including 22 (64.7%) in the intracranial hemorrhage group and 12 ( 35.3%) in the non-intracranial hemorrhage group. Of the 35 intracranial aneurysms, 23 (main artery type 11, peripheral artery type 12) w ere in the intracranial hemorrhage group and 12 (main artery type 11, peripheral artery type 1) w ere in the non-intracranial hemorrhage group. There w ere 29 smal aneurysms and 6 medium aneurysms (al w ere patients w ith hemorrhagic moyamoya disease). The aneurysms w ere mainly peripheral arterial type in the intracranial hemorrhage group, and the aneurysms w ere mainly artery type in the non-intracranial hemorrhage group. There w as significant difference in aneurysm typing betw een the tw o groups ( P= 0.013 ). Tw o patients did not perform encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) in the intracranial hemorrhage group, other patients and those of the non-intracranial hemorrhage group performed EDAS. Angiographical reexamination revealed that 3 patients w ith peripheral aneurysm disappeared, and 1 aneurysm recurred after aneurysm embolization, and the remaining aneurysms did not have any change. Long-term fol ow-up show ed that 1 patient died of sudden cerebral hemorrhage at 1 year after procedure in the intracranial hemorrhage group, and the others did not have ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. The modified Rankin scale scores w ere improved in 21 patients. Conclusions There are differences in moyamoya disease patients w ith intracranial aneurysm typing w ith different clinical manifestations. Moyamoya disease patients w ith intracranial aneurysms are mostly smal aneurysms and they can not temporarily be treated directly and can perform EDAS directly. Intracranial aneurysms after procedure may remain long-term stability, and some peripheral aneurysms may disappear.
