ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the factors related to slow-flow (SF) or no-reflow (NR) during the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary sydrome (NSTEACS). Methods Patients diagnosed as NSTEACS who received PCI from September 2007 to June 2018 were collected through the data base of medical record management system in Qingdao Eighth People′s Hospital.The blood flow≤TIMI 2 grade during PCI was defined as slow-flow (SF) or no-reflow(NR). Patients with SF or NR were included into the case group and patients without SF or NR were included into the controlled group. Factors of age, gender, history of hypertension, history of type 2 diabetes, history of high cholesterol, history of smoking, history of drinking, NSTEACS risk stratification, the application of platelet glycoprotein (GP) ⅡB/ⅢA receptor antagonist, coronary artery SYNTAX score, culprit blood vessels, times of balloon dilatation, the burden of thrombus and the preoperative TIMI grade of blood flow were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Then, variables screening was performed through backward method and likelihood ratio test. Results A total of 3 927 patients with NSTEACS receiving PCI were enrolled. After patients with incomplete information were eliminated, 143 patients were admitted to the case group and 3 588 patients were admitted to the control group. After the analysis of multivariate Logistic regression and variables screening, it was showed that times of balloon dilatation ≥ 3 ( OR＝1.725, 95% CI 1.211－2.358, P＝0.014) and high burden of thrombus ( OR＝1.821, 95% CI 1.322-2.511, P＜0.01) were the risk factors of SF or NR, while the application of GPⅡB/ⅢA receptor antagonist ( OR＝0.623, 95% CI 0.382-0.855, P＝0.012) was the protective factor of SF or NR. Conclusions Multiple balloon dilatation and high burden of thrombus increased the risk of SF or NR, while the application of GPⅡB/ⅢA receptor antagonists could inhibit the occurrence of SF or NR.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the anatomical structure of the first plantar lumbrical muscle in the foot and to measure the relevant data which could provide anatomical basis for repairing thumb and finger defects with the transplantation of toes accompanied with the first lumbrical muscle,and to explore the marphological function of the first lumbrical muscle of the foot.Methods From March,2016 to January,2018,a systematic and detailed dissection of the 50 formalin-fixed feet was performed to observe the exact position of the starting and ending points of the first lumbrical muscle,and a Vernier caloper was used to measure the relevant record data.Results The first lumbrical muscle originates from the medial portion of the flexor digitorum lungus tendon of the second toe,and the length of the ventral muscle was [55.87±8.67(79.30-41.16] mm.There were 2 endpoints in the tendon.The first one was in the medial tubercle of the proximal phalanges.The second one was aponeurosis of the dorsal toe and the tendon was divided into proximal and distal segments with the medial tubercle as the mark point.The length of the proximal segment was [15.34±4.81(5.52-25.18] mm,the width of the proximal segment was [2.31±1.12(3.28-1.21)] mm,the thickness was [0.44±0.14(0.28-0.68)] mm;the length of the distal segment was [11.51±4.06(3.46-14.90)] mm,the width was [6.10±1.44(9.36-3.70)] mm,and the thickness was [0.18±0.09(1.10-0.38)] mm.The length and thickness of the proximal segment was signifantly larger than those of the distal segment (P＜0.05).Conclusion The first lumbrical muscle has the function of maintaining the balance and stability of both the toe and the arch during movement,flexuring the metatarsophalangeal joint,extending the interosseous joint of the extensor phalangeal,adducting the second toe;also the function of preventing the second toe from pronation during foots' movement.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of levosimendan applied in patients with chronic heart failure combined with acute ST -elevation myocardium after direct percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Using the random number table method,95 patients with heart failure combined with acute ST -elevation myocardium after direct PCI were randomly divided into two groups:the general treatment group and the levosimendan group.The levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVSD,LVEF before and after 24h,one week treatment were examined.After the experiment,clinical assessment was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levosimendan.Results The resuits of NT -proBNP,LVEF and LVSD in the general group before treatment were (5 908.1 ±33.2)ng/L, (36.7 ±4.3)% and (6.1 ±0.6)cm,while those were (3 478.5 ±19.3)ng/L,(45.0 ±6.3)%,(5.9 ±0.3)cm, (3 375.2 ±32.1)ng/L,(48.3 ±5.4)% and (5.8 ±1.1)cm after 24h and 1 week treatment.The level of serum NT-proBNP decreased,while the LVEF increased in general treatment group after 24h treatment(t =3.86,4.11,P =0.021,0.015).The same results happened after 1 week treatment(compared with before treatment,t =4.13,5.06, P =0.016,0.013,compared with 24 hours after treatment,t =3.96,4.77,P =0.021,0.015).But the level of the LVSD had no differences before and after 24h,1 week treatment(P >0.05).The results of NT -proBNP,LVEF and LVSD in the levosimendan group before treatment were (3 340.5 ±19.2)ng/L,(43.3 ±3.9)%,(5.3 ±0.7)cm, (2 938.3 ±12.8)ng/L,(52.7 ±8.2)% and (4.6 ±0.2)cm after 24h and 1 week treatment.The levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVSD decreased,while the LVEF increased in the levosimendan group after 24h,1 week treatment(t =6.07,6.49,5.73,P =0.010,0.008,0.011.t =6.55,7.05,5.33,P =0.009,0.007,0.012).Compared with the general treatment group,the levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVEF showed no differences(all P >0.05),but the level of the LVSD decreased after 24h treatment(t =4.84,P =0.015)in the levosimendan group.The levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVSD decreased,while the LVEF increased in the levosimendan group after 1 week treatment compared with the general treatment group(t =6.60,7.01,5.40,P =0.007,0.007,0.011 ).After one week treatment,the effective and beneficial rates of the levosimendan group were 66.6% and 95.6%,while those were 59.6% and 89.5% in the general treatment group.The therapeutic effects of levosimendan group were more effective than the general treatment group after 1 week treatment(χ2 =9.72,15.63,P =0.015,0.008),but had no statistical differ-ences between the two groups after 24h treatment(P >0.05).There was no statistical differences between the two groups in the rate of adverse reactions.Conclusion Levosimendan has very favorable efficacy and safety for patients with chronic heart failure combined with acute ST -elevation myocardium infarction after direct PCI.
