ABSTRACT

The promise of regeneration therapy for restoration of damaged myocardium after cardiac ischemic injury relies on targeted delivery of proliferative molecules into cardiomyocytes whose healing benefits are still limited owing to severe immune microenvironment due to local high concentration of proinflammatory cytokines. Optimal therapeutic strategies are therefore in urgent need to both modulate local immunity and deliver proliferative molecules. Here, we addressed this unmet need by developing neutrophil-mimic nanoparticles NM@miR, fabricated by coating hybrid neutrophil membranes with artificial lipids onto mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) loaded with microRNA-10b. The hybrid membrane could endow nanoparticles with strong capacity to migrate into inflammatory sites and neutralize proinflammatory cytokines and increase the delivery efficiency of microRNA-10b into adult mammalian cardiomyocytes (CMs) by fusing with cell membranes and leading to the release of MSNs-miR into cytosol. Upon NM@miR administration, this nanoparticle could home to the injured myocardium, restore the local immunity, and efficiently deliver microRNA-10b to cardiomyocytes, which could reduce the activation of Hippo-YAP pathway mediated by excessive cytokines and exert the best proliferative effect of miR-10b. This combination therapy could finally improve cardiac function and mitigate ventricular remodeling. Consequently, this work offers a combination strategy of immunity modulation and proliferative molecule delivery to boost cardiac regeneration after injury.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a modified subtraction coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) technique with a two-breathhold approach in terms of image quality and stenosis grading of calcified coronary segments and in the detection of significant coronary stenosis in segments with severe calcification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The institutional board approved this study, and all subjects provided written consent. A total of 128 patients were recruited into this trial, of which 32 underwent subtraction CCTA scans and invasive coronary angiography (ICA). The average Agatston score was 356 ± 145. In severely calcified coronary segments, the presence of significant (> 50%) stenosis was assessed on both conventional CCTA and subtraction CCTA images, and the results were finally compared with ICA findings as the gold standard. RESULTS: For severely calcified segments, the image quality in conventional CCTA significantly improved from 2.51 ± 0.98 to 3.12 ± 0.94 in subtraction CCTA (p < 0.001). In target segments, specificity (70% vs. 87%; p = 0.005) and positive predictive value (61% vs. 79%, p < 0.01) were improved using subtraction CCTA in comparison with conventional CCTA, with no loss in the negative predictive value. The segment-based diagnostic accuracy for detecting significant stenosis was significantly better in subtraction CCTA than in conventional CCTA (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.94 vs. 0.85; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: This modified subtraction CCTA method showed lower misregistration and better image quality in patients with limited breathhold capability. In comparison with conventional CCTA, modified subtraction CCTA would allow stenosis regrading and improve the diagnostic accuracy in coronary segments with severe calcification.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the safety and efficacy of rotational atherectomy in the interventional treatment of coronary chronic total occlusion lesions.@*Methods@#In this retrospective study,a total of 31 consecutive patients with coronary chronic total occlusion(CTO) lesions underwent rotational atherectomy in our hospital from February 2004 to December 2016 were enrolled,and the clinical features were analyzed. Coronary atherectomy was performed if balloon failed to cross the CTO lesions or balloon could not be fully dilated in the CTO lesions after wire crossing. The definition of procedure success was defined as residual stenosis less than 20% after implantation of drug eluting stent and rotational atherectomy. After the procedure, the patients were followed up to observe major adverse cardiac and cerebral vascular events which including cardiogenic death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and target lesion revascularization.@*Results@#The 1.25 mm diameter burr was firstly selected in 80.6% (25/31) patients,and 96.8%(30/31) patients used only 1 burr to complete the rotational atherectomy procedure. The complication rate was 9.8% (3/31) including 1 patient with coronary dissection and 3 patients with slow flow or no flow. There was 1 patent with both coronary dissection and slow flow. The procedure success rate was 96.8%(30/31). Interventional treatment related myocardial infarction occurred in 3 patients during hospitalization.The 30 patients with procedure success were followed up 36(11, 96) months. The incidence rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebral vascular events was 13.3% (4/30), of which the cardiogenic death rate was 3.3% (1/30), the myocardial infarction rate was 6.7% (2/30), cerebrovascular accident rate was 3.3%(1/30),and the target lesion revascularization rate was 6.7% (2/30).@*Conclusion@#Rotational atherectomy is safe and effective in the interventional treatment of coronary CTO lesions.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect and mechanism of rosuvastatin on tumor necrosis factor-α induced human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) apoptosis.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Human MSCs were treated as follows: (1) culture medium; (2) TNF-α (20 µg/ml) for 6 h; (3) rosuvastatin (20 µmol/L) for 24 h; (4) rosuvastatin (20 µmol/L) for 24 h followed by TNF-α (20 µg/ml) for 6 h; (5) TNF-α+rosuvastatin+50 nmol/L antago-miRNA; (6) TNF-α+rosuvastatin+100 nmol/L antago-miRNA. Cell survival and apoptosis were determined by MTT, TUNEL and caspase-3 activity assay. The changes of miRNA-210 in each group were detected with quantitative PCR.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>TNF-α significantly induced human MSCs apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner, and pretreatment with rosuvastatin significantly reduced MSCs apoptosis (caspase-3 assay: TNF-α+Statin group vs. TNF-α group: (1.63 ± 0.25) vs. (2.05 ± 0.36), P < 0.05). Meanwhile, TNF-α progressively reduced the expression of miRNA-210 in human MSCs in a dose-dependent manner, while the miRNA-210 expression was significantly upregulated in TNF-α+Statin group (P < 0.05). The protective effect of rosuvastatin on TNF-α induced MSCs apoptosis was largely abolished by co-treatment with 100 nmol/L antago-miRNA (TUNEL:TNF-α + Statin + antago-miR group vs. TNF-α + Statin group: (42.58 ± 6.71) % vs. (16.87 ± 9.27) %, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Pretreatment with rosuvastatin can significantly improve the viability of human MSCs after TNF-α injury, the protective mechanism of rosuvastatin is partly mediated through miRNA-210 up-regulation.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 135 cm Corsair microcatheter inpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) with antegrade approach via radial artery. Methods From June 2010 to February 2014, a total of 81 patients with CTO lesions treated with 135cm Corsair microcatheter (Asahi Intec Co, Japan) and transradial antegrade approach was enrolled in this study. The success rate of CTO-PCI, the rate of Corsair microcatheter crossing the CTO lesions and the number of balloon catheters utilization were retrospectively analyzed. Unique complications related to the Corsair microcatheter were also documented. Results Success recanalization of CTO were achieved in 73 (90.1%) patients. Crossing the CTO body with Corsair microcatheter was found in 56(84.8%) patients. The number of balloon utilized after Corsair microcatheter crossing the CTO was much lower than that of patients who Corsair microcatheter failed to cross (1.3±0.6 per patient versus 2.8±1.2per patient, P < 0.05). The success recanalization rate of combined using Fielder XT guidewire with Corsair microcatheter was 51.5%. There was no complications related to Corsair microcatheter during the index procedure, no major adverse cardiac events during in-hospital clinical follow-up. Conclusions Corsair microcatheter was safe and effective in the recanalization for CTO with transradialantegrade approach. It can simplify the CTO-PCI procedure and reduce the number of balloon catheters.

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the effect of ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue on the dimensions and systolic function of left and right ventricle in pigs. Methods Sixteen pigs were randomly assigned to two groups. Intravenous injection of 1 ml of SonoVue were given in study group, and repeated 20 min later. The control group was given the same doses of saline. Before and after the administration of contrast agent, the end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD, RVEDD). end-systolic dimension ( LVESD, RVESD) and fractional shortening(LVFS,RVFS) of left and right ventricle were measured. The time to reach the extreme value of these parameters and the time to return to the baseline were recorded. Results There was no significant difference regarding the parameters at baseline between the two groups. After injection of SonoVue,RVEDD significantly increased from (25. 88 ± 1. 38) mm at baseline to its maximum of (33. 26 ± 0. 99)mm( P < 0. 05). Accordingly,RVFS significantly increased from (26. 90 ± 1. 92) % to (33. 92 ± 2. 53) % ( P <0. 05). Meanwhile,LVEDD remarkably decreased from (38.10 ± 1. 39)mm at baseline to its minimum of (26.25 ± 0. 65)mm( P <0. 05) and LVFS remarkably decreased from (36. 24 ± 1. 93) % to (29.13 ± 3.00) % ( P < 0. 05). There was no change in the control group after administration of the saline. When SonoVue was given repeatedly, the maximum RVEDD and RVFS was (29. 98 ± 1. 23) mm and (31. 09 + 1.90) % , respectively, which had less increase compared to the first time. Minimum LVEDD and LVFS was (31. 91 ± 1, 64)mm and (32. 17 ± 2. 31)%,respectively,with less decrease compared with which at first injection. It took (10. 15±0. 59) min for the right and left ventricle to reach the extreme value and (9.00± 0. 56) min to return to the baseline at the first injection. The time used for the right and left ventricle to reach its peak change and back to baseline after second injection of SonoVue were shorter [(8.73± 0.55) min and (6.89± 0.43) min, respectively,both P <0.05]. Conclusions Administration of SonoVue was associated with acute, transient dilation of right ventricle and compression of left ventricle. The influence of SonoVue on the right and left ventricle became less at it second injection.

ABSTRACT

Objective To asses the value of ST segment elevation of aVR lead (aVRSTE) in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Method Myocardial enzymes detection, electrocar-dingraphy, emergency eornary artery angiography, echoeardiography [taken(10±2) days after emergency cornary artery angiography] were obtained and analyzed in 140 consecutive patients with STEMI enrolled in this study. The value of aVRSTE (≥0.05 mV) was assessed for detecting left main stem lesions(defined as ≥50% stenosis of or acute embolism of left main stem)or its equivalent (defined as total or subtotal acute occlusion of left anterior de-scending artery), and predicting the left ventricular systolic function after myocardial infarction. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of aVRSIE in detection of left main stem lesions were 72.73 % (8/11), 83.72 % (108/129),27.59 % (8/29) and 97.30% (108/111), respectively; in detection of left main stem lesions or its equivalent, they were 41.86 % (18/43), 88.66% (86/97), 62.07 % (18/29), 77.48% (86/111); aVRSYE were combined with STaVR-STv1>0 to detect left main stem lesions, the semi-tivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 63.64% (7/11),98.45%(127/129),77.78%(7/9),96.95% (127/131). Patients were divided into two groups: groups A with aVRSIE and group B without aVRSYE. KIIJJP class,and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in group A was higher than those in group B (P<0.05). Conclusions For patients with STEMI: (1) aVRSTE indicated left main stem le-sions or its equivalent; if combined with STaVR-STv1>0, it indicated left main stem lesions more strongly; (2)aVRSTE predicted poorer left ventricular systohc function short time after STEMI.

ABSTRACT

Background The 5-year cardiac mortality rate has been reported to be more than 50% in patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis. The purpose of this study was to visualize the LMCA using intravascular ultrasound in patients who undergo interventions of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). This was done in order to see the incidence and severity of plaque formation in the LMCA in patients with severe lAD stenosis, and to address if scanning LMCA is able to rule out lAD significant stenosis or vice versa. Methods A total of 293 patients with intervention of the LAD stenosis were examined with intravascular ultrasound(IVUS). The images of 278 patients were suitable for analysis. Results Fifty-three (19%) were found to have angiographic lumen reduction in the LMCA ranging from 11% to 35% (19 ± 8%). Sixty-one patients were found to have native calcification in the LMCA. Atherosclerotic plaques in LMCA were detected in 211/278 (76%) patients, of which 164/211 (78%) were eccentric, and 51/211 (24%) had calcium deposit. The cross-sectional plaque area ranged from 1.5 mm2 to 21 mm2 (8.4 ± 4.7 mm2 ). Area of stenosis was 34 ± 14 % (8-66 % ) and diameter of stenosis was 21 ± 8% ( 7-42% ). A weak relationship concerning severity of stenosis between LAD stenosis and LMCA stenosis was found in the 59 patients with pre-interventional IVUS examinations ( r = 0.47, P < 0.05 ). Condusions LMCA is frequently involved with atherosclerotic lesions in patients with severe LAD stenosis. A weak relationship does exist concerning the severity of stenosis between lAD and LMCA. However, IVUS for LMCA lesion is not able to rule out LAD stenosis.
