Efficacy of intravascular ultrasound versus coronary angiographic guided drug-eluting stent implantation in the treatment of left main coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis / 中华心血管病杂志

Objective: To compare the efficacy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and coronary angiography guided drug eluting stent (DES) implantation for the treatment of left main coronary artery (LMCA) lesions. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCT) and observational studies, which compared IVUS with coronary angiography guided DES implantation for the treatment of LMCA lesions published before August 2021 were searched in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases. Baseline data, interventional procedures and endpoint events of each study were collected. The primary endpoint was major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE), and the secondary endpoints were all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), target lesion revascularization (TLR) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Results: Nine studies were included, including 3 RCT and 6 observational studies, with a total of 5 527 cases of LMCA. All the 6 observational studies had NOS scores≥6, and the 3 RCT had a low risk of overall bias. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with coronary angiography guided group, MACE rate (OR=0.55, 95%CI 0.47-0.66, P<0.001), all-cause death (OR=0.56, 95%CI 0.43-0.74, P<0.001), cardiac death (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.30-0.61, P<0.001), MI (OR=0.64, 95%CI 0.52-0.79, P<0.001), TLR (OR=0.49, 95%CI 0.28-0.86, P=0.013) and TVR (OR=0.77, 95%CI 0.60-0.98, P=0.037) were all significantly lower in the IVUS guided group. Conclusions: Compared with angiography guided, IVUS guided PCI with DES implantation in LMCA lesions could significantly reduce the risk of MACE, death, MI, TLR and TVR. IVUS is thus superior to coronary angiography for guiding PCI treatment among patients with LMCA.

Effect of rotational errors on the accuracy of positioning for head-neck tumors in radiotherapy / 国际肿瘤学杂志

Objective:To study the effect of rotational errors on the positioning accuracy (PA) and to assess whether correcting rotation in patients with head-neck tumors in radiotherapy or not.Methods:The image information of 34 patients with head-neck tumors treated at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University between August 2019 and January 2020 was collected. Mega-voltage computed tomography (MVCT) images of each patient were taken before radiotherapy, and were registered with planned kilo-voltage computed tomography (KVCT) images by two registration methods. All information was divided into control group (translation only) and intervention group (translation and rotation) according to different registration methods, there were 144 fractioned registered images for each group, respectively. The position errors of the two registration methods were recorded and compared. Data were carried out with Wilcoxon signed rank test and Spearman rank correlation.Results:Translational errors of the control group and the intervention group were 0.10 (5.35) mm and 0.00 (5.78) mm in right-left direction, and there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=-2.675, P=0.007); 0.75 (2.78) mm and 0.60 (2.68) mm in superior-inferior direction, and there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=-2.819, P=0.005); 0.10 (0.90) mm and 0.20 (1.28) mm in anterio-posterior direction, and there was a statistically significant difference ( Z=-3.984, P<0.001). Rotational errors of the intervention group were -0.20 (0.60)°, 0.35 (2.00)°, 0.00 (0.98)° in pitch, roll, yaw, respectively. The distribute of 3D vector corrected frequency for two groups was positively skewed. The corrected cumulative frequency (CCF) varied with 3D vector, 3D vector was 8.0 mm, and 19 F and 16 F fractioned treatments of the control group and the intervention group were not corrected, respectively; 3D vector was between 8.0-13.5 mm, the corrected tendency of the intervention group was slower and fractioned treatment was completed later. The analytical results of Spearman rank correlation showed that rotational errors in pitch were negatively correlated with translational errors of the control group in superior-inferior direction ( r=-0.182, P=0.029) and the intervention group in anterio-osterior direction ( r=-0.484, P<0.001); rotational errors in roll were negatively correlated with translational errors of the intervention group in right-left direction ( r=-0.334, P<0.001); rotational errors in yaw which were positively correlated with translational errors of the intervention group in right-left direction ( r=0.370, P<0.001) were negatively correlated with translational errors of the control group in superior-inferior direction ( r=-0.171, P=0.040) and the same was true for the intervention group ( r=-0.203, P=0.015); total angles were positively correlated and negatively correlated with translational errors of the control group in superior-inferior direction ( r=0.246, P=0.003) and anterio-posterior direction ( r=-0.188, P=0.024), and positively correlated with 3D vector of the control group ( r=0.198, P=0.017), total angles were positively correlated with translational errors of the intervention group in superior-inferior direction ( r=0.170, P=0.041) and with 3D vector of the intervention group ( r=0.239, P=0.004); there were no correlations between rotational errors and the other translational errors (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Although the corrected rotation increases translational errors in anterio-posterior direction and 3D vector, it improves PA for head-neck tumors in radiotherapy. When rotational errors are not corrected, rotational offsets are present with corrected translation to decrease its effect on PA.

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of local infiltration of ropivacaine combined with multimodal analgesia with parecoxib for perioperative pain management in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.@*METHODS@#This randomized controlled trial was conducted among 98 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Department of Biliary Surgery of West China Hospital between March, 2017 and August, 2018. The patients were randomized to receive perioperative analgesia with local infiltration anesthesia with ropivacaine combined with multimodal analgesia with parecoxib (experimental group, =50) or postoperative analgesia with dizosin (control group, =48). The regimens for intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative pain relief were identical in the two groups. The differences in NRS pain score, use of pain relief agents, the incidences of adverse reactions to analgesia and wound infection, and the time to first ambulation and first flatus passage after the operation were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#At 12, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days after the operation, the patients in the experimental group had significantly lower NRS scores ( < 0.05) than those in the control group. The rate of use of rescue analgesics was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (32% 66.67%, < 0.05); the rate of tramadol hydrochloride use was also significantly lower in the experimental group ( < 0.05). Compared with those in the control group, the patients in the experimental group showed a significantly lower total incidence of adverse reactions (22% 54.17%, < 0.05) as well as a lower incidence of nausea and vomiting ( < 0.05), an earlier time of first ambulation and first flatus passage after the operation ( < 0.05), and a shorter postoperative hospital stay ( < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#In patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy, local infiltration of ropivacaine combined with multimodal analgesia with ropivacaine can effectively relieve perioperative pain, reduce the use of relief analgesics, lower the incidence of adverse reactions, and promote the recovery after the surgery.

Articulatory Kinematic Characteristics during Speech Production for Individuals with Dysarthria: A Study Based on Electromagnetic Articulography / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Objective:To explore the kinematics characteristics of articulators (including lips, tongue and jaw) during articulation in dysarthric individuals post brain injury by using electromagnetic articulography (electromagnetic articulography, EMA). Methods:From October, 2017 to October, 2018, six eligible individuals with dysarthria were recruited as dysarthria group, and ten age-gender matched healthy adults were recruited as healthy control group. Both groups received EMA assessment, and the dysarthria group was assessed with Chinese modified version of Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment before EMA assessment. To track and record kinematic parameters data (including duration, velocity, acceleration, distance) and displacement movement trajectories, a series of sensors were attached on the participant's lips, tongue (tip, blade and back of tongue) and jaw, the reference sensor was attached on the bridge of nose, all of the sensors were along midsagittal plane. During EMA assessment, each participant was received syllable repetition task, which containing consonants (/d/, /t/, /j/, /q/, /g/, /k/, /b/, /p/) at word initial position and vowels (/a/, /ia/, /iu/), to produce the single word with the Chinese linguistic meaning, every syllable produced was repeated three times. Then Praat software and Matlab software were used to process acoustic and kinematic data, so as to compare the differences of articulatory kinematic performance between two groups. Results:The outcome of the Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment indicated that the severity of dysarthria was from moderate to extreme severe. EMA assessment demonstrated that, compared with the healthy control group, the dysarthria group showed a reduction of velocity, acceleration and distance of tongue and lip movement (<italic>t</italic> > 2.422, <italic>P</italic> < 0.05), and longer duration of tongue tip, tongue back and jaw movement (<italic>t</italic> > 3.369, <italic>P</italic> < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in duration of tongue blade and lip movement (<italic>t</italic> < 2.146, <italic>P</italic> > 0.05), the same as the velocity, acceleration and distance of jaw movement between two groups (<italic>t</italic> < 1.016, <italic>P</italic> > 0.05). Image analysis of kinematics parameters and synchronous audio data showed that, compared with the healthy control group, the dysarthria group varied unstably in velocity and acceleration, and the audio data showed that, when repeated /da/ three times, the duration of each syllable was not equal. The coordination of articulation movement displacement in the anterior-posterior dimension and inferior-superior dimension was poor, there were significant differences in visual inspection of movement trajectories between two groups, and a smaller displacement was found in the anterior-posterior dimension in the dysarthric group. Conclusion:EMA assessment has significant advantages in evaluating kinematics parameters quantitatively, which could reveal the kinematics characteristics of articulators.

Effect of Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Reorganization of Aphasia after Stroke: A Study Based on Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the brain functional reorga-nization of aphasia after stroke, with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods From January, 2017 to February, 2018, six eligible stroke patients with aphasia were recruited in experimental group, and nine age-gender matched healthy adults were recruited in healthy control group. Subjects in both groups received task-fMRI, and the experimental group was assessed with Chinese version of Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) examination before and after rTMS treatment. Four patients underwent rTMS at the right inferior frontal gyri pars triangularis marked by neuro-navigation-guided system, 1 Hz, five times per week for two weeks. The fMRI data were processed by SPM 12. The differences of brain activation and voxel changes be-tween two groups were compared. The fMRI data including the differences in brain activation, voxel volume and activation voxel indices (AVI) and WAB scores were analyzed before and after rTMS. Results The cerebral hemisphere activation in the experimental group was higher than that of the healthy control group, including the regions of interest (ROI) such as bilateral supplementary motor area and middle frontal gyrus, and the non-ROI (n-ROI) such as left praecuneus, left postcentral gyrus, right hippocampus, right paracingulate cor-tex, etc., while the activation reduced in the areas of left pars triangularis and n-ROI such as left calcarine fissure cortex, left gyrus lingualis, the right anterior cingulate and the paracingulate cortex. Cases 1 and 2 had shorter course of disease, smaller lesion volume, and activation increased in bilateral cerebral hemispheres before treat-ment. AVI showed that their hemispheric dominance was right, and activation reduced in bilateral cerebral hemi-sphere after treatment, but the high-efficiency language function area of ROI, such as the left pars triangularis, turned from inactive to active, and the hemispheric dominance lateralized from right to left, with the improve-ment of language function. For the case 3 and case 4, the disease courses were longer, the lesions sizes were larg-er, and both cerebral hemisphere activations were reduced before treatment. AVI showed that the hemispheric dominance of case 3 was right and was left in case 4. After treatment, bilateral cerebral hemispheres were activat-ed more than before, and the hemispheric dominance of language function was in the right hemisphere; the left middle frontal gyrus and right middle temporal gyrus were activated from no activation before treatment in case 3. The activation of the supplemental motor area on the right side was increased. In case 4, there was no activa-tion in ROI before treatment. After treatment, the bilateral supplementary motor area, right pars opercularis, and the right middle temporal gyrus were activated. Conclusion Low-frequency rTMS could improve the language function by optimizing bilateral cerebral hemisphere brain areas related with language function in patients with aphasia after stroke.

Correlation Study Between Autoantibodies to Myocardium β1-adrenergic Receptor, M2-muscarinic Receptor and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy / 中国循环杂志

Objective: To study the relationship between autoantibodies to myocardium β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-receptor), M2-muscarinic receptor (M2-receptor) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in relevant patients. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: HCM group, n=81 patients and Control group, n=50 normal subjects. Synthetic peptides corresponding to amino acid sequence of second extracellular loops of β1-receptor and M2-receptor were used as antigens, ELISA was conducted to detect serum autoantibodies to β1-receptor and M2-receptor in both groups. Results: ① Compared with Control group, HCM group had the higher positive rates of autoantibodies as for β1-receptor was 58.02% (47/81) vs 12.00% (6/50) and for M2-receptor was 44.44 % (36/81) vs 10.00% (5/50), both P<0.05. ② Compared with Control group, HCM group had the higher mean geometric titers of autoantibodies as for β1-receptor was 1:85 vs 1:36 and for M2-receptor was 1:80 vs 1:35, both P<0.05. ③ In HCM group, 43.48 % patients with positive autoantibody to β1-receptor meanwhile have autoantibody to M2-receptor. Conclusion: HCM patients having both autoantibodies to β1-receptor and M2-receptor might be related to cardiac structure change and diastolic function decreasing. Both positive antibodies implies that immunological mechanism has been involved in pathophysiological process in HCM patients.

Dual Blockade of the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone System in Type 2 Diabetic Kidney Disease / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine the efficacy and safety of dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) among patients with type 2 diabetic kidney disease.</p><p><b>DATA SOURCES</b>We searched the major literature repositories, including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE and EMBASE, for randomized clinical trials published between January 1990 and October 2015 that compared the efficacy and safety of the use of dual blockade of the RAAS versus the use of monotherapy, without applying any language restrictions. Keywords for the searches included "diabetic nephropathy," "chronic kidney disease," "chronic renal insufficiency," "diabetes mellitus," "dual therapy," "combined therapy," "dual blockade," "renin-angiotensin system," "angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor," "angiotensin-receptor blocker," "aldosterone blockade," "selective aldosterone blockade," "renin inhibitor," "direct renin inhibitor," "mineralocorticoid receptor blocker," etc.</p><p><b>STUDY SELECTION</b>The selected articles were carefully reviewed. We excluded randomized clinical trials in which the kidney damage of patients was related to diseases other than diabetes mellitus.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Combination treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor supplemented by an angiotensin II receptor blocking agent is expected to provide a more complete blockade of the RAAS and a better control of hypertension. However, existing literature has presented mixed results, in particular, related to patient safety. In view of this, we conducted a comprehensive literature review in order to explain the rationale for dual blockade of the RAAS, and to discuss the pros and cons.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Despite the negative results of some recent large-scale studies, it may be immature to declare that the dual blockade is a failure because of the complex nature of the RAAS surrounding its diversified functions and utility. Further trials are warranted to study the combination therapy as an evidence-based practice.</p>

An overview of neurocritical care in China: a nationwide survey / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Little quantitative evidence was available regarding the development of NICUs in China. The purpose of this survey was to evaluate the current situation of neurointensive care units (NICUs) across China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The directors of NICUs from 100 tertiary care hospitals across China were contacted and asked to complete a closed response questionnaire regarding their NICUs. Basic information, equipment, and technology information available in the units, as well as staffing information were investigated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Seventy-six questionnaires were returned (a 68% response rate). Of 76 NICUs, 43 units constituted the majority. The number of each NICU bed varied from 4 to 45, occupying 2%-30% of the total department beds. Over 70% of NICUs were equipped with many emergency treatment equipments as well as physiological and biochemical monitoring equipments, while 34%-70% of NICUs still lacked some kinds of equipments such as defibrillators. Some specialist equipments were still partially lacking in 62%-95% of NICUs. A vast majority of the NICUs were equipped with neurocritical care directors, full-time attending physicians, and head nurses, but full-time NICU residents and neurocritical care nurses were still lacking in nearly half (53%) and one-third (33%-37%) of NICUs, respectively. In 76 NICUs, full-time neurointensivists and nurses added up to 359 and 852, respectively. In addition, 78%-97% of all the surveyed NICUs were severely short of non-neurological professional staffs.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In China, neurocritical care has developed rapidly, but there is still a shortage of well-equipped and well-staffed NICUs across the nation currently.</p>

Evaluation of neuro-intensive care unit performance in China: predicting outcomes of Simplified Acute Physiology Score II or Glasgow Coma Scale / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Severity scoring systems are useful tools for measuring the severity of the disease and its outcome. This pilot study was to verify and compare the prognostic performance of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in neuro-intensive care unit (N-ICU) patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 1684 patients consecutively admitted to the N-ICU at Xuanwu Hospital between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2011 were enrolled in this study. The data-base included admission data, at 24-, 48-, and 72-hour SAPS II and GCS. Repeated measure data analysis of variance, Logistic regression analysis, the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistic, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic were used to evaluate the performance.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was a significant difference between the SAPS II or GCS score at four time points (F = 16.110, P = 0.000 or F = 8.108, P = 0.000). The SAPS II scores or GCS score at four time points interacted with the outcomes with significant difference (F = 116.771, P = 0.000 or F = 65.316, P = 0.000). Calibration of the SAPS II or GCS score at each time point on all patients was good. The percentage of a risk estimate prediction corresponding to observed mortality was also good. The 72-hour score have the greatest consistency. Discriminations of the SAPS II or GCS score at each time were all satisfactory. The 72-hour score had the greatest discriminative power. The cut-off value was 33 (sensitivity of 85.2% and specificity of 74.3%) and 6 (sensitivity of 70.6% and specificity of 65.0%). The SAPS II at each time point on all patients showed better calibration, consistency and discrimination than GCS. The binary Logistic regression analysis identified physiological variables, GCS, age, and disease category as significant independent risk factors of death. After the two variables including underlying disease and type of admission were excluded, we built the simplified SAPS II model. A correlation was suggested between the simplified SAPS II score at each time point and outcome, regardless of the diagnosis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The GCS scoring system tends to be a little weaker in the predictive power than the SAPS II scoring system in this Chinese cohort of N-ICU patients. The advantage of SAPS II scoring system still exists that it dose not need to take into account the diagnosis or diseases categories, even in the special N-ICU. The simplified SAPS II scoring system is considered a new idea for the estimation of effectiveness.</p>
