ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of statins combined with PCSK9 inhibitors on coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque, as well as to verify the lipid-lowering effect of the combined therapy.Methods:A computerized search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and CNKI databases was conducted to retrieve published literature from inception to December 20, 2022. The English search terms utilized included "PCSK9 inhibitors," "Alirocumab," "Evolocumab," "plaque," "IVUS," and "OCT." The corresponding Chinese search terms were "PCSK9 inhibitors," "plateau," "intravascular ultrasound," and "optical coherence tomography." The literature that examined the effect of statins alone or in combination with PCSK9 inhibitors on coronary atherosclerotic plaques using intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography was identified. The collected data were subsequently processed using Review Manager (Revman) version 5.4.Results:In the final analysis, nine studies involving 1912 patients were included. The analysis results revealed that compared with statins alone, statins combined with PCSK9 inhibitors significantly reduced the percentage of atherosclerotic volume ( MD: -2.08 mm 3, 95% CI: -2.94 to -1.23 mm 3, P < 0.001), accelerated the regression of atherosclerotic volume ( MD: -1.13 mm 3, 95% CI: -1.49 to -0.77 mm 3, P < 0.001), slightly, but not significantly, reduced the overall atherosclerotic volume ( MD: -6.42 mm 3, 95% CI: -14.34-1.51 mm 3, P = 0.110). Nevertheless, the combined therapy contributed to a significant reduction in atherosclerotic volume ( MD: -5.16 mm 3, 95% CI: -7.09 to -3.23 mm 3, P < 0.001) and significantly increased the fiber cap thickness of thin cap plaques ( MD: 8.46 μm, 95% CI: 5.13-11.79 μm, P < 0.001). Additionally, this combined therapy significantly lowered blood lipid levels. Conclusion:The combination of statins and PCSK9 inhibitors can significantly improve the characteristics and phenotype of atherosclerotic plaques and significantly reduce blood lipid levels. For patients with high cardiovascular risk, it is recommended to initiate treatment with statins combined with PCSK9 inhibitors as soon as possible and maintain it for a long time to ensure more benefits.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the values of ultrasound, pathology combined with inflammatory indicators in predicting high nodal burden (HNB) in patients with early breast cancer and to construct a nomogram to provide reference for individualized diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The ultrasonographic, pathological features and preoperative inflammatory indicators of 378 female patients diagnosed with early breast cancer confirmed by pathology in the South Hospital of the Sixth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2014 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were randomly divided into training set ( n=302) and test set ( n=76) in a ratio of 8∶2, and the baseline data of the two groups were compared. The optimal cutoff values of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) were obtained by ROC curve. In the training set, with axillary high lymph node load (≥3 metastatic lymph nodes) as the dependent variable, independent influencing factors of HNB were identified by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses, and the nomogram was established. The test set data were used to verify the model. The discrimination, calibration and clinical applicability of the model were assessed by the area under the ROC curve (AUC), C-index, the calibration curve, Brier score and the decision curve analysis, respectively. Results:There were no significant differences in all variables between the training set and the test set (all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that AUCs of NLR, PLR and LMR were 0.578, 0.547 and 0.516, respectively, and the optimal cut-off values were 2.184, 150 and 3.042, respectively. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, pathological type, histological grade, Ki-67, lymphovascular invasion, NLR, PLR, ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor, shape, long/short diameter of lymph node, cortical thickness, cortical and medullary boundary, lymph node hilum, lymph node blood flow pattern) were correlated with HNB of early breast cancer (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor >2 cm, effacement of lymph node hilum, non-lymphatic portal blood flow), lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67>14% and NLR>2.184 were independent risk factors for HNB in early breast cancer ( OR=7.258, 8.784, 6.120, 8.031, 3.394 and 3.767, respectively; all P<0.05) and were used to construct the nomogram model. The AUC of the training set was 0.914 (95% CI=0.878-0.949), C-index was 0.914; The AUC of the test set was 0.871 (95% CI=0.769-0.973), C-index was 0.871, indicating good discrimination. Calibration curve and Brier score were 0.090, indicating high calibration degree of the model. The clinical decision curve indicated good clinical benefit. Conclusions:The nomogram based on ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor, lymph node hilum, lymph node blood flow pattern), lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67 and NLR can effectively predict the risk of HNB in patients with early breast cancer, and provide a reference for precision diagnosis and treatment to avoid excessive or insufficient treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relationship between prolonged PR interval and carotid atherosclerosis(CAS)in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:A total of 537 middle-aged and elderly inpatients with T2DM in the Southern Branch of the Sixth People′s Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the research objects. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect bilateral carotid artery intima-media thickness(CIMT). The subjects were divided into carotid atherosclerosis group(CAS group, n=352)and non-carotid atherosclerosis group(NCAS group, n=185). The difference in the PR interval of ECG between the two groups was compared. Pearson or Spearman rank correlation analysis was used for evaluating the correlation of PR interval and CAS lesions with various clinical index. The relationship between PR interval and CAS lesions was adopted by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:The average PR interval of middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM was(164.57±23.02)ms. The average PR interval in CAS group was significantly higher than that in NCAS group [(169.76±24.28) vs (154.70±16.42)ms, P<0.01]. The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that age, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, serum osteocalcin, and PR interval were independent factors influencing the development of CAS lesions in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM( OR=1.079, 1.936, 0.879, 1.039, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01)where each 1 ms increase in PR interval was associated with a 3.9% increase in the risk of CAS in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM( OR=1.039, 95% CI 1.006-1.073, P=0.020). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetic patients with PR interval≥158 ms were 4.072 times more likely to have CAS lesions than those with PR interval<158 ms( OR=4.072, 95% CI 1.417-11.702, P<0.01). Conclusion:The PR interval of electrocardiogram is correlated with CAS lesions in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM. Middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetic patients with significantly prolonged PR interval should be reminded to screen for CAS lesions early.

ABSTRACT

Objective:We compared the clinical outcomes between β-blocker with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) without left ventricular systolic dysfunction.Methods:A total of 750 patients who were diagnosed as AMI without left ventricular systolic dysfunction and successfully received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital from October 2016 to September 2017 were collected retrospectively. We divided the patients into two groups: β-blocker + ACEI group (BB+ ACEI group, n=666) and β-blocker + ARB group (BB+ ARB group, n=84) according to discharge medications. The clinical datas were gathered and the end-point events were followed up. K-M curve was used to describe cumulative survival rate of the two groups. We used Cox regression analysis to compare the clinical outcomes of the two groups. Results:The occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (8.3% vs 3.4%, HR=2.377, 95% CI: 1.006-5.616, P=0.048), all-cause death (3.6% vs 0.4%, HR=12.951, 95% CI: 1.947-86.159, P=0.008) and non-fatal myocardial infarction (3.6% vs 0.8%, HR=5.231, 95% CI: 1.193-22.934, P=0.028) in the BB+ ARB group was significantly higher than those in the BB+ ACEI group followed up for 13 months. However, there was no difference between the two groups in the incidence of stroke (1.2% vs 1.4%, HR=0.922, 95% CI: 0.117-7.276, P=0.516) and target vessel revascularization (3.6% vs 1.6%, HR=1.607, 95% CI: 0.384-6.729, P=0.516). The cumulative survival rate of BB+ ACEI group was higher than that of BB+ ARB group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with β-blocker combined with ARB, β-blocker combined with ACEI are more beneficial to reduce the incidence of MACCE, all-cause death and non-fatal myocardial infarction in AMI patients without left ventricular systolic dysfunction after PCI.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the clinical prognosis and related factors affecting optimal medical therapy (OMT) compliance of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A prospective study was conducted to select 3 818 patients who were diagnosed with CAD and successfully underwent PCI in TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital from October 2016 to September 2017. The clinical information and application of OMT during hospitalization and 1 year later were collected for research.The patients were divided into OMT group and non OMT group according to whether they adhered to OMT during follow-up one year after discharge. After comparing the imbalance baseline data of hypertension,diabetes and hyperlipidemia with propensity score,demographic characteristics, coronary revascularization history, CAD, laboratory related laboratory examinations,and the use of OMT drugs were compared between the two groups. Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship between long-term OMT and clinical prognosis in patients with CAD.Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting long-term OMT compliance.Results:A total of 3 818 cases of CAD patients were matched by propensity score and 2 596 patients were included in the study. There were 1 609 males and 987 females. The age was (62.51±9.56) years old.One year later,1298 patients (50%) insisted on OMT,including dual antiplatelet therapy(DAPT), statins, β-blockers and ACEI/ARB were 97.0% (2 517/2 596),94.5%(2 454/2 596),69.6% (1 806/2 596) and 64.2% (1 666/2 596), especially angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors / angiotensin receptor blockers and β Receptor blockers decreased the most.Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for other factors, compared with non-adherence to OMT group,OMT after PCI was associated with better prognosis ( HR=0.416,95% CI 0.270-0.641, P<0.001). The prognosis of CAD patients with history of old myocardial infarction ( HR=1.804,95% CI 1.070-3.041, P=0.027),cardiac insufficiency ( HR=2.074,95% CI 1.161-3.702, P=0.014),multivessel coronary disease ( HR=2.211,95% CI 1.228-3.983, P=0.008) and BMI>24 ( HR=1.570,95% CI 1.037-2.377, P=0.033) were related to worse clinical outcomes. Multi-factor binary Logistic regression showed that OMT at hospitalization was a strong influencing factor of long-term adherence to OMT ( OR=41.278,95% CI 29.961-56.871, P<0.001). Patients with higher education,employee medical insurance and with history of PCI tend to persist in OMT. Conclusion:The medication compliance of patients with long-term OMT after PCI is still poor,while the high compliance of OMT is related to the lower incidence of adverse cardiovascular events,including death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke. If there is no obvious contraindication,all patients after PCI should adhere to OMT.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the mechanism of the alternation of RR interval length in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT).Methods:From August 2009 to August 2016, 317 patients with AVRT were treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation in cardiology department of TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.During AVRT, 5 mg of verapamil was given slowly intravenously for 10 min.After administration, the changes of RR interval, AH interval, HV interval and VA interval were observed and the time of changes was also observed.Results:After administration of verapamil, there were 8 patients with RR interval alternation and QRS wave alternation.When RR interval alternation occurred, the difference of AH interval between adjacent heart beats was gradually extended, without AH jump, and the HV interval and VA interval were constant.This phenomenon occurred 6-17 minutes after administration, and the average cycle of tachycardia was 16-42 ms longer than before administration.In 3 patients, RR interval alternation occurred.When the phenomenon disappeared, the difference of AH interval between adjacent heart beats was gradually shortened, there was no AH jump, and the interval between HV and VA was constant until AH interval was equal, the disappearance time was 19-57 min after administration; AVRT was terminated in 5 patients after administration.Conclusion:It can be concluded that the mechanism is due to the frequency dependent decreasing conduction of AH interval in tachycardia, which can not be induced by program stimulation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the characteristics of electrocardiogram(ECG) and target potential features of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) in patients with complete left/right bundle branch block (CL/RBBB) and compare with those without CL/RBBB. Methods A retrospective analysis was done in 8 outflow tract PVC patients with CL/RBBB, who successfully underwent radiofrequency ablation from August 2009 to June 2017. According to the bundle branch block chamber, patients were divided into the complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB) group (n=4) and the complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) group (n=4). The control group were those who successfully underwent ablation at the same position as the above two groups but without CL/RBBB. The characteristics of ECG and target potential features were compared among groups. Results One case in the CRBBB group was successfully ablated in the great cardiac vein with precordial R/S>1 transition at V1 and one case in the CLBBB group was successfully ablated in the right coronary cusp with precordial R/S>1 transition at V2, while other 6 cases were all with precordial R/S>1 transition at lead V4. Precordial R/S>1 transition was not later than sinus rhythm (SR) in the CLBBB group. No statistical difference was found in the QRS complex duration between SR and PVC in the CL/RBBB patients [(134.38 ± 23.80)ms vs (156.75 ± 25.93)ms, P>0.05], while statistical difference was shown in the control group [ (92.63 ± 5.76)ms vs (140.25 ± 15.97)ms,P<0.05]. Conclusion Bundle branch block can lead to misjudgment of PVC origin with CL/RBBB during sinus rhythm, thus the origin chamber of the PVC should be determined according to the mapping and ablation result.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the automatic ventricular capture management (VCM) conifrmed by paced depolarization integral (PDI) evoked response detection via the follow-up study in patients with Zephyr5826 pacemaker implantation. Methods: A total of 102 relevant patients were enrolled. In order to conduct PDI calculation, pacemakers were set by bipolar sensing and bipolar pacing at immediately after implantation. VCM functions were observed at 1 day, 7 days and 1 month, 3, 6, 12 months after implantation, the ventricular threshold by VCM test and manual test were compared. The symptoms of pectoralis major stimulus, diaphragm stimulus and palpitation were observed in all follow-up patients. Results: There was 1 patient died by MI at 1 month after Zephyr5826 pacemaker implantation, the rest 101 patients were followed-up for 12 months. VCM function was successfully turned-on at immediately after implantation in all patients, no pectoralis major stimulus and diaphragm stimulus occurred. VCM function was turned-off in 6/101 (5.9%) patients at 7 days after implantation due to intolerable palpitation caused by daily automatic VCM, instead they received manual test at follow-up visit. The coincidence rate of ventricular thresholds between VCM test and manual test were 100%. Ventricular pacing output voltage by VCM was (0.99 ± 0.48) V,n=608. Compared with regular pacing output voltage (2.5V, 0.4ms), VCM function may save 84% of energy consumption; compared to high pacing output voltage (3.5V, 0.4ms), VCM may save 92%. Loss of ventricular capture and poor sensation were not found by ECG and 24 h dynamic monitoring. Conclusion: Zephyr5826 pacemaker may conduct bipolar pacing and scanning with VCM function, it can be effectively and safely operated by low energy output. A few patients may not use VCM function due to intolerable palpitation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: External counterpulsation (ECP) is a noninvasive method used to enhance cerebral perfusion by elevating the blood pressure in ischemic stroke. However, the response of the beat-to-beat blood pressure variability (BPV) in ischemic stroke patients during ECP remains unknown. METHODS: We enrolled recent ischemic stroke patients and healthy controls. Changes in the blood flow velocities in bilateral middle cerebral arteries and the continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure before, during, and after ECP were monitored. Power spectral analysis revealed that the BPV included oscillations at very low frequency (VLF; <0.04 Hz), low frequency (LF; 0.04-0.15 Hz), and high frequency (HF; 0.15-0.40 Hz), and the total power spectral density (TP; <0.40 Hz) and LF/HF ratio were calculated. RESULTS: We found that ECP significantly increased the systolic and diastolic blood pressures in both stroke patients and controls. ECP decreased markedly the systolic and diastolic BPVs at VLF and LF and the TP, and the diastolic BPV at HF when compared with baseline. The decreases in diastolic and systolic BPV reached 37.56% and 23.20%, respectively, at VLF, 21.15% and 12.19% at LF, 8.76% and 16.59% at HF, and 31.92% and 23.62% for the total TP in stroke patients, which did not differ from those in healthy controls. The change in flow velocity on the contralateral side was positively correlated with the total TP systolic BPV change induced by ECP (r=0.312, p=0.035). CONCLUSIONS: ECP reduces the beat-to-beat BPV when increasing the blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity in ischemic stroke patients. ECP might be able to improve the clinical outcome by decreasing the beat-to-beat BPV in stroke patients, and this should be explored further in future studies.

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to discuss the dynamic variation of soluble sugar contents, sucrose metabolizing en-zyme activities and gene expression quantities during the fruits development of A momum villosum, in order to pro-vide the basis of improvement of the fruit yield. Fresh fruits at three different development processes (30 DAF, 60 DAF, 90 DAF) were used to investigate changes of soluble sugar components and sucrose metabolizing enzyme activ-ities by HPLC and UV spectrophotometry. Combining with the high-throughput sequencing expression profile data of three fruit development period, the trends of three key enzymes gene expressed in sugar metabolism were analyzed. The results showed that the fruit sugar components were dominated by fructose, glucose and sucrose. The concentra-tion of hexose (fructose and glucose) gradually decreased in peel. But in seeds the concentration of hexose decreased at first and then increased. The content of sucrose and the net activities of sucrose synthase (synthesizing direction minus decomposing direction) in peel and seeds were gradually increased. The expression trends of key enzyme gene in sugar metabolism examined by RNA-seq quantification showed that sucrose phosphate synthase and sucrose syn-thase gene increased and then kept constant, but the invertase gene expression trend was gradually rising. Conse-quently, sucrose synthase was the key enzyme catalyzing sucrose synthesis and decomposition. The activity of sucrose synthase and sucrose contents in peel and seeds reached the highest peak in the end of fruit mature.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics of progressive stroke (PS) patients with vascular stenosis and the relationship between PS and cerebral blood flow (CBF). Methods Fifteen patients of PS with anterior circulation vascular stenosis were chosen, their clinical documents and CBF were analyzed with Xenon-CT when they were in progression. Results These patients mostly presented hemiparalysis and language dysfunction at the beginning ( 13/15 ) before the disease developed rapidly into a serious state. The infarction usually happens in the periventricular area (10/15). Upper limbs paralyzed more severely than low limbs(11/15). Cerebral hypoperfusion areas around the infarction in 11 patients ( 10 ml·100 g-1·min-1 < CBF < 20 ml·100 g-1·min-1 ) were found. Conclusions Patients of PS with vascular stenosis present typically clinical characteristics, Low CBF caused by cerebral artery stenosis may be one of the most important factors leading to PS.
