Methods: A total of 68 patients with acute STEMI who had no-reflow phenomenon during PCI were chosen and randomly divided into SNP group (n = 34) and tirofiban group (n = 34). Aiming at no-reflow phenomenon during PCI, with the use of microcatheters, intracoronary arterial injection of tirofiban was given in tirofiban group, while intracoronary bolus of SNP was given in SNP group. Coronary angiography was conducted to record TIMI flow grade of the infarct-related artery after 10 minutes. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was monitored before and after PCI (in 24 hours). With the help of ultrasound cardiogram, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) were recorded and compared in 30 days after PCI. Results: The ratio of TIMI grade 3 blood flow in tirofiban group was significantly higher than that in SNP group (76.5% (26/34) vs. 52.9% (18/34), p = .03)BNP levels in two groups had no statistical significance before PCI (p = .16), but in 24 h after PCI, BNP levels in tirofiban group were significantly lower than those in SNP group ((439.00 ± 4.90) μmol/L vs. (632.00 ± 3.63) μmol/L, p = .02)In 30 days after PCI, LVEF, LVEDD and LVESD in tirofiban group were all superior to those in SNP group (all p < .05). Conclusions: Intracoronary arterial injection of tirofiban was superior to SNP in improving no-reflow phenomenon in STEMI patients after PCI in the emergency treatment. Tirofiban therapy can increase coronary blood flow and myocardial perfusion after the occurrence of no-reflow phenomenon during PCI in STEMI patients, and improve long-term prognosis.展开更多

This study aimed to evaluate intracoronary nitroprusside in the prevention of the no-reflow phenomenon in AMI.Methods Ninety-two consecutive patients with AMI, who underwent primary PCI within 12 hours of onset, were randomly assigned to 2 groups: intracoronary administration of nitroprusside (group A, n=46), intracoronary administration of nitroglycerin (group B, n=46). The angJographic results were observed. The real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RT-MCE), including contrast score index (CSI), wall motion score index (WMSI), transmural contrast defect length (CDL) and serious WM abnormal length (WML) were recorded at 24 hours and 1 week post-PCI. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) was examined by immune rate nephelometry. N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was tested with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients were followed up for six months. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded. Results The incidence of final TIMI-3 flow in group A was much higher than that in Group B (P 〈0.05), final corrected TIMI frame count (cTFC) in group A decreased significantly than that in group B (P 〈0.01). The CSI, CDL/LV length, WMSI and WL/LV length in group A were significantly lower than that in group B (P 〈0.01). Levels of Hs-CRP and NT-proBNP at 1 week post-PCI decreased significantly in group A than that in group B (P 〈0.01). Patients were followed up for 6 months and the incidence of MACE in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P〈0.05).Conclusion Intracoronary nitroprusside can improve myocardial microcirculation, leading to the decrease of the incidence of no-reflow phenomenon and better prognosis.展开更多

Although intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) is sometimes used in such patients to increase the diastolic coronary blood flow, there is little available information regarding the effects of IABP on the angiographic no-reflow phenomenon. Method Twenty-two AMI patient with NR were performed primary PCI between January 2006 and December 2009, of which 12 patients were selected for IABP therapy and the left 10 were selected as the control group by group procedure of odd and even days; We observed the vasoactive substance in both groups on the days of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 after the different interventions, which include plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensin Ⅱ (ANG Ⅱ), aldosterone (ALD), adrenaline (E), and noradrenalin (NE); In addition, cardiac structure and cardiac ventricle systolic function including left atrium medial diameter (LAMD), left ventricular medial diameter (LVMD) Finally, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were evaluated after 10 days, 3 months and 6 months; statistics was taken to analysis. Results According to the time concentration curve, vasoactive substance of the IABP group decreased faster than that of the control group, and this difference had statistical significance (P 〈 0.01 ) ; In terms of LAMD, LVMD, and LVEF, echocardiography difference of the IABP and the control group in 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months also showed statistical significance (P 〈 0.05). Conclusions IABP can significantly reduce the release of vasoactive substances of NR in patients of primary PCI for AMI; LAMD, LVMD and LVEF in 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months can be improved using this method, which is conducive to recovery of heart function.展开更多

The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR) is a novel inflammatory marker which is associated with slow coronary flow. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of LMR for no-reflow phenomenon in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. Methods A total of 1350 STEMI patients were enrolled in this study from January 2014 to January 2018. Blood samples were obtained at initial admission for analysis of LMR.The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to study the relationship between LMR and no-reflow phenomenon. Results All the 156 patients among the study population suffered from no-reflow phenomenon during the procedure. The LMR level was significantly lower in patients with no-reflow(1.6 ±1.0 vs. 3.25 ± 1.8, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LMR was independently associated with no-reflow post primary PCI in STEMI patients.(OR 2.356, 95% CI 1.201-5.945;P=0.030). The area under the ROC curve for the LMR was 0.757 [95% confidence interval(CI) 0.686-0.828, P<0.001]. Conclusions LMR at admission could serve as a biomarker for no-reflow phenomenon in patients undertaken primary PCI for STEMI.[S Chin J Cardiol 2019;20(4):228-235]展开更多

文摘Background The no-reflow phenomenon is correlated with adverse effects on short-term and long-term outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR) is a novel inflammatory marker which is associated with slow coronary flow. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of LMR for no-reflow phenomenon in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. Methods A total of 1350 STEMI patients were enrolled in this study from January 2014 to January 2018. Blood samples were obtained at initial admission for analysis of LMR.The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to study the relationship between LMR and no-reflow phenomenon. Results All the 156 patients among the study population suffered from no-reflow phenomenon during the procedure. The LMR level was significantly lower in patients with no-reflow(1.6 ±1.0 vs. 3.25 ± 1.8, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LMR was independently associated with no-reflow post primary PCI in STEMI patients.(OR 2.356, 95% CI 1.201-5.945;P=0.030). The area under the ROC curve for the LMR was 0.757 [95% confidence interval(CI) 0.686-0.828, P<0.001]. Conclusions LMR at admission could serve as a biomarker for no-reflow phenomenon in patients undertaken primary PCI for STEMI.[S Chin J Cardiol 2019;20(4):228-235]

文摘Background:Various experimental and clinical studies have reported on coronary microcirculatory dysfunction("no-reflow"phenomenon).Nevertheless,pathogenesis and effective treatment are yet to be fully elucidated.This study aimed to measure the intracoronary pressure gradient in the no-reflow artery during emergent percutaneous coronary intervention and explore the potential mechanism of no-reflow.Methods:From September 1st,2018 to June 30th,2019,intracoronary pressure in acute myocardial infarction patient was continuously measured by aspiration catheter from distal to proximal segment in the Department of Coronary Care Unit,Tianjin Chest Hospital,respectively in no-reflow arteries(no-reflow group)and arteries with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction-3 flow(control group).At least 12 cardiac cycles were consecutively recorded when the catheter was pulled back.The forward systolic pressure gradient was calculated as proximal systolic pressure minus distal systolic pressure.Comparison between groups was made using the Student t test,Mann-Whitney U-test or Chi-square test,as appropriate.Results:Intracoronary pressure in 33 no-reflow group and 26 in control group were measured.The intracoronary forward systolic pressure gradient was-1.3(-4.8,0.7)and 3.8(0.8,8.8)mmHg in no-reflow group and control group(Z=-3.989,P<0.001),respectively,while the forward diastolic pressure gradient was-1.0(-3.2,0)and 4.6(0,16.5)mmHg in respective groups(Z=-3.851,P<0.001).Moreover,the intracoronary forward pressure gradient showed significant difference between that before and after nicorandil medication(Z=-3.668,P<0.001 in systolic pressure gradient and Z=-3.530,P<0.001 in diastolic pressure gradient).Conclusions:No reflow during emergent coronary revascularization is significantly associated with local hemodynamic abnormalities in the coronary arteries.Intracoronary nicorandil administration at the distal segment of a coronary artery with an aspiration catheter could improve the microcirculatory dysfunction and resume normal coronary pressure gradient.Clinical trial registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov(No.NCT 03600259).

文摘Dynamic tensile failure is a common phenomenon in deep rock practices,and thus accurately evaluating the dynamic tensile responses of rocks under triaxial pressures is of great significance.The Brazilian disc(BD)test is the suggested method by the International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering(ISRM)for measuring both the static and dynamic tensile strengths of rock-like materials.However,due to the overload phenomenon and the complex preloading conditions,the dynamic tensile strengths of rocks measured by the BD tests tend to be overestimated.To address this issue,the dynamic BD tensile strength(BTS)of Fangshan marble(FM)under different preloading conditions were measured through a triaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB).The fracture onset in BD specimen was captured through a strain gage around the disc center.The discrepancy between the traditional tensile strength(TTS,determined by the peak load P_(f) of the BD specimen)and the nominal tensile strength(NTS,obtained from the load P_(i) when the diametral fracture commences in the tested BD specimen)was applied to quantitatively evaluating the overload phenomenon.The Griffith criterion was used to rectify the calculation of the tensile stress at the disc center under triaxial stress states.The results demonstrate that the overload ratio(s)increases with the loading rate(σ)and decreases with the hydrostatic pressure(σ_(s)).The TTS corrected by the Griffith criterion is independent of theσ_(s)due to the overload phenomenon,while the NTS corrected by the Griffith criterion is sensitive to both the andσ.Therefore,it is essential to modify the tensile stress in dynamic confined BD tests using both the overload correction and the Griffith criterion rectification to obtain the accurate dynamic BTS of rocks.
文摘In discussing the policy effects of environmental regulation,we should focus not only on whether environmental regulation helps improve the environmental and economic performance of firms,but also on how such improvement is materialized,i.e.whether the obsolete mode of production is reversed.After matching the database of China’s industrial enterprises with that of pollution emissions from these industrial enterprises,this paper identifies the asymmetric scope of clean production standards to test the effect of environmental regulation on the total factor productivity(TFP)of the industrial enterprises.Our empirical research finds that the implementation of clean production standards may induce TFP improvement.However,such improvement only occurs for polluters who cannot or who barely meet clean production standards and does little to improve the production standards of polluters with low pollution emission,reflecting the yardstick phenomenon of the asymmetric environmental regulation policy effect:While polluters are forced to improve,clean enterprises that pollute less are more likely to take no action.Further research finds that such TFP improvement is materialized primarily by means of overall firm optimization;the compensation effect is insignificant and does not reverse the backward mode of production.Polluters cope with the implementation of clean production standards by purchasing more equipment and expanding capacity,which adds to the tension between the expansion of capacity and the abatement of pollution emission.
文摘An infant with Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon(KMP)presented with a giant subcutaneous mass in the right lower limb,severe hypofibrinogenemia,and thrombocytopenia.Glucocorticoids,along with supportive treatments including transfusion of blood products and clotting factors,were administered to reverse fatal disseminated intravascular coagulation and acute hemolysis.The glucocorticoid dose was tapered slowly,and sirolimus was added to treat the hemangiomas.The patient subsequently underwent interventional therapy.After 6 months of medical and interventional therapy,the patient was doing well with a normal platelet count,the tumor volume was markedly reduced,and the primary cutaneous lesion became pale pink.Currently,the patient remains on sirolimus,and no recurrence of thrombocytopenia or further growth of the mass was observed after six months of follow-up.
文摘BACKGROUND The R-on-T phenomenon is a malignant arrhythmia associated with potentially catastrophic consequences.It may initiate ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation,which can result in syncope or sudden cardiac death.This manifestation poses a great challenge for anesthesiologists.However,it is rarely encountered in the perioperative setting.CASE SUMMARY We herein present a case in which the R-on-T phenomenon was incidentally revealed by 24-h Holter monitoring in a patient diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer.Careful evaluation and treatment with mexiletine were carried out preoperatively under consultation with a cardiovascular specialist,and surgery was uneventfully performed under general anesthesia after thorough preparation.CONCLUSION Physicians should be vigilant about this infrequent but potentially fatal arrhythmia.Our experience suggests that the anesthetic process can be greatly optimized with careful preparation.

文摘对文本中诸如实体与关系、事件及其论元等要素及其特定关系的联合抽取是自然语言处理的一项关键任务.现有研究大多采用统一编码或参数共享的方式隐性处理任务间的交互,缺乏对任务之间特定关系的显式建模,从而限制模型充分利用任务间的关联信息并影响任务间的有效协同.为此,提出了一种基于任务协作表示增强的要素及关系联合抽取模型(Task-Collaboration Representation Enhanced model for joint extraction of elements and relationships,TCRE).该模型旨在从多个阶段处理任务间的特定关系,帮助子任务进行更细致的调节和优化,促进整体性能的提升.在三个关系抽取和一个事件抽取数据集上进行实验,TCRE在实体识别和关系提取任务上平均性能分别提高0.57%和0.77%,在触发词识别和论元角色分类任务上分别提高0.7%和1.4%.此外,TCRE还显示出在缓解“跷跷板现象”方面的作用.
