RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Coronary computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) and intravascular ultrasound-derived fractional flow reserve (IVUS-FFR) are two functional assessment methods for coronary stenoses. However, the calculation algorithms for these methods differ significantly. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR and IVUS-FFR using invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the reference standard. METHODS: Six hundred and seventy patients (698 lesions) with known or suspected coronary artery disease were screened for this retrospective analysis between January 2020 and July 2021. A total of 40 patients (41 lesions) underwent intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and FFR evaluations within six months after completing coronary CT angiography were included. Two novel CFD-based models (AccuFFRct and AccuFFRivus) were used to compute the CT-FFR and IVUS-FFR values, respectively. The invasive FFR ≤ 0.80 was used as the reference standard for evaluating the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR and IVUS-FFR. RESULTS: Both AccuFFRivus and AccuFFRct demonstrated a strong correlation with invasive FFR (R = 0.7913, P < 0.0001; and R = 0.6296, P < 0.0001), and both methods showed good agreement with FFR. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.960 (P < 0.001) for AccuFFRivus and 0.897 (P < 0.001) for AccuFFRct in predicting FFR ≤ 0.80. FFR ≤ 0.80 were predicted with high sensitivity (96.6%), specificity (85.7%), and the Youden index (0.823) using the same cutoff value of 0.80 for AccuFFRivus. A good diagnostic performance (sensitivity 89.7%, specificity 85.7%, and Youden index 0.754) was also demonstrated by AccuFFRct. CONCLUSIONS: AccuFFRivus, computed from IVUS images, exhibited a high diagnostic performance for detecting myocardial ischemia. It demonstrated better diagnostic power than AccuFFRct, and could serve as an accurate computational tool for ischemia diagnosis and assist in clinical decision-making.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Both fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are widely used to evaluate ischemia-causing coronary lesions. A new method of CT-iFR, namely AccuiFRct, for calculating iFR based on deep learning and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has been proposed. In this study, the diagnostic performance of AccuiFRct was thoroughly assessed using iFR as the reference standard. METHODS: Data of a total of 36 consecutive patients with 36 vessels from a single-center who underwent CCTA, invasive FFR, and iFR were retrospectively analyzed. The CT-derived iFR values were computed using a novel deep learning and CFD-based model. RESULTS: Mean values of FFR and iFR were 0.80 ± 0.10 and 0.91 ± 0.06, respectively. AccuiFRct was well correlated with FFR and iFR (correlation coefficients, 0.67 and 0.68, respectively). The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of AccuiFRct ≤ 0.89 for predicting FFR ≤ 0.80 were 78%, 73%, 81%, 73%, and 81%, respectively. Those of AccuiFRct ≤ 0.89 for predicting iFR ≤ 0.89 were 81%, 73%, 86%, 79%, and 82%, respectively. AccuiFRct showed a similar discriminant function when FFR or iFR were used as reference standards. CONCLUSION: AccuiFRct could be a promising noninvasive tool for detection of ischemia-causing coronary stenosis, as well as facilitating in making reliable clinical decisions.

RESUMO

The coexistence of nanoplastics (NPs) and pollutants such as arsenic (As) has become an unignorable environmental problem. However, there is still a considerable knowledge gap about the impact of NPs and pollutants on human health risks. In this study, the human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells were used as a model to investigate the toxicity of NPs with different particle sizes and As by MTT assay, western blotting, immunofluorescence and so on. The results showed that 20 nm (8 µg/mL), 50 nm (128 µg/mL), 200 nm (128 µg/mL), 500 nm (128 µg/mL), 1000 nm (128 µg/mL) polystyrene (PS) did not affect cell viability, ROS, intracellular calcium and activate apoptosis pathway in AGS cells. However, noncytotoxic concentration of NPs enhanced the cytotoxicity and intracellular accumulation of As. NPs destroys the fluidity of cell membrane and cytoskeleton, inhibits the activity of ABC transporter, and leads to the accumulation of As in cells. This work highlights that the damage caused by NPs, especially at the level of noncytotoxicity, joint with As cannot be ignored and provides a specific toxicological mechanism of NPs accompanied by exposure to As.
