ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical significance of the monocyte count/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(MHR)in evaluating imperfect ST-segment resolution in elderly patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).@*Methods@#This was a retrospective cohort study.A total of 274 elderly patients with STEMI underwent PCI in our hospital from December 2015 to December 2018 were enrolled.Based on the extent of the ST-segment resolution of the postoperative electrocardiogram, patients were divided into an imperfect ST-segment resolution group(observation group, n=79)and a favorable ST-segment resolution group(control group, n=195). General clinical data were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression equation was used to analyze the association of MHR with ST-segment resolution.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was performed to assess the predictive value of MHR for imperfect ST-segment resolution.@*Results@#Compared with patients in the control group, patients in the observation group were associated with a significantly higher proportion of anterior wall myocardial infarction and heart failure(≥Killip 2), A longer duration of chest pain to balloon expansion, higher levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, blood sugar, blood uric acid, fibrinogen, triglyceride and mononuclear cell count, and lower levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and lymphocyte count(all P<0.05). Meanwhile, there was a significant difference in MHR between the observation group and the control group [(0.75±0.22)vs.(0.48±0.19), t=9.831, P=0.001]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that MHR was an independent risk factor for imperfect ST-segment resolution(OR=1.950, 95%CI: 1.646-5.430, P=0.003)and ROC curve showed the threshold value of MHR at 0.67, the area under the curve at 0.867, the sensitivity at 79.72%, and the specificity at 79.61%.@*Conclusions@#MHR may be an independent risk factor and a good predictive index for imperfect ST-segment resolution in elderly patients with STEMI after PCI.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of liraglutide on diabetic rats. Methods 24 healthy male SPF Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats with random blood glucose greater than 11.1 mmol/L were selected as the experimental group, and randomly divided into diabetes mellitus group ( n＝12) and liraglutide group (n＝12). Ten healthy male SPF Wistar rats with the same age and weight as GK rats were selected as normal control group. After adaptively feeded for 2 weeks, the liraglutide group was given liraglutide (400 μg·kg－1·d－1, subcutaneous injection), while the control group and diabetes mellitus group were given the same volume of saline, and continued to be administered for 8 weeks. After 10 weeks, data and biochemical indicators were recorded. Effects of liraglutide on learning and memory in diabetes mellitus rats were detected by Morris water maze test. HE staining observed the hippocampal neurons morphology. Western blotting method detected the expression of p- IκB kinase (IKK) β, p-NF-κB, NF-κB, Klotho, and PRX2 in hippocampus. Results Morris water maze test showed that liraglutide can improve the spatial learning and memory ability of diabetes mellitus rats. HE staining showed that liraglutide significantly reduced the pathological damage of hippocampal neurons of diabetes mellitus rats. Western blotting showed that liraglutide inhibited NF-κB signaling pathway in hippocampus of diabetes mellitus rats. The expression of Klotho protein in hippocampus of diabetes mellitus group was significantly lower than that of control group, while the expression of PRX2 protein was higher than control group (t＝8.298,－7.398,all P<0.01). The expression of Klotho and PRX2 protein in hippocampus of liraglutide group were higher than diabetes mellitus group (t＝－13.059, 14.113, all P<0.01). The expression of Klotho protein of liraglutide group was similar to that of control group ( t ＝ －1. 137, P>0. 05 ). The expression of PRX2 protein was significantly higher than control group (t＝－28.055, P<0.01). Conclusions Liraglutide may enhance the expression of antioxidant stress protein including Klotho and PRX2, by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway in hippocampus of diabetes mellitus rats, reduced oxidative stress and improved the injury of hippocampal neuronal in diabetes mellitus rats, which seems to play a neuroprotective effect, to prevent and delay the occurrence of diabetic encephalopathy.
