ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the expression levels and clinical significance of serum Gasdermin D(GS-DMD)and angiotensin converting enzyme 2(ACE2)in children with Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods A to-tal of 90 children with KD treated in the hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were collected as KD group.According to whether the children with KD had coronary artery lesions(CAL),the KD group was di-vided into CAL group(32 cases)and non-CAL group(58 cases),and 50 children with fever due to acute re-spiratory infection admitted to the hospital during the same period were selected as fever control group.An-other 50 children with oblique inguinal hernia who underwent elective surgery in the same period were selected as the control group.Serum GSDMD and ACE2 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The correlation between serum GSDMD,ACE2 and clinical indicators was analyzed by Pearson correlation.Multivariate Logisitic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of CAL occurrence in KD pa-tients.The diagnostic value of serum GSDMD and ACE2 for CAL in children with KD was analyzed by receiv-er operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The serum GSDMD and ACE2 levels in KD group were higher than those in fever control group and control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Compared with the non-CAL group,the fever duration,gamma globulin treatment time,erythro-cyte sedimentation rate,platelet count,C reactive protein,GSDMD and ACE2 levels of KD children in the CAL group were significantly higher,while the blood sodium and albumin were significantly lower,with statistical significance(all P<0.05).The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum GSDMD and ACE2 levels in KD group were positively correlated with fever duration,gamma globulin treatment time,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,platelet count and C reactive protein(all P<0.05),and negatively correlated with blood sodium and albumin(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of ser-um GSDMD and ACE2 was an independent risk factor for the development of CAL in KD children.ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)and 95%CI of the combined detection of serum GSDMD and ACE2 for CAL in KD children were 0.918(0.868-0.949).The AUC and 95%CI of serum GS-DMD and ACE2 were significantly higher than that of serum GSDMD and ACE2[0.838(0.789-0.887)and 0.865(0.811-0.912),respectively],and the differences were statistically significant(Z=5.116,4.217,all P<0.05).Conclusion The combined detection of serum GSDMD and ACE2 has high diagnostic value for CAL in children with KD.

ABSTRACT

Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile illness that predominantly affects children under 5 years of age.The pathology is distinguished by small and medium-sized vasculitis.The most severe outcome of this disease is the development of coronary artery lesions, which can result in dilation, stenosis, aneurysm, and potentially long-term progression.MiRNAs, a type of short non-coding RNAs, could directly bind to mRNAs to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.Numerous studies have demonstrated that miRNAs may play an important role in genetic susceptibility, immunity, inflammatory response, and vascular wall structural abnormalities and dysregulation pertaining to Kawasaki disease.Consequently, comprehensive investigations into targets and pathways influenced by dysregulated miRNAs can facilitate the identification of the molecular mechanism underlying coronary artery lesions, thereby provide insights into early diagnosis, risk prediction, and targeted therapeutic intervention.This review succinctly outlines the involvement of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of coronary artery lesions associated with Kawasaki disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyse the association between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the number of coronary artery lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. Patients with stable coronary artery disease who were admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 1st January 2019 to 30th April 2020 for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were selected. We collected general clinical information and laboratory results from the enrolled patients, then calculated the TyG index. We evaluated coronary artery lesions by coronary angiography and analysed the factors associated with the number of coronary artery lesion branches by the logistic regression model.Results:A total of 832 patients were included in this study, 641 (77.0%) were male, the age was (64.6±11.5) years. The mean TyG index was 8.78. Patients with the TyG index≥8.78 were included in the high TyG index group (411 patients), and those with the TyG index<8.78 were included in the low TyG index group (421 patients). Compared with the low TyG index group, the high TyG index group had the higher body mass index and diastolic blood pressure, more smokers and diabetes mellitus, younger age of onset of coronary heart disease (all P<0.05), and a lower proportion of patients using statins ( P=0.027). Compared with the low TyG index group, the high TyG index group had the higher levels of erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, albumin, urea nitrogen, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein E, and C-reactive protein (all P<0.05). However, the levels of high density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein A were lower in the high TyG index group than those in the low TyG index group (all P<0.05). The number of coronary artery lesions in patients in the high TyG index group was 2.35±0.91, more than the low TyG index group 2.10±0.95 ( P<0.001).After adjusting for the other factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male, smoking history (smoking cessation or smoking), TyG index and troponin T levels were independently positively associated with the number of coronary artery lesions (all OR>1, P<0.05), while ApoA1 was independently negatively associated with the number of coronary artery lesions ( OR=0.140, P=0.007). Conclusions:TyG index is positively associated with the number of coronary artery lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT

Long-term antiplatelet therapy is critical for children with Kawasaki disease.Commonly used antiplatelet drugs have their own advantages and adverse reactions, so they need to be chosen carefully.Some studies have shown that drug resistance may occur in children with Kawasaki disease during antiplatelet therapy, which increases the risk of cardiovascular adverse events, and platelet aggregation function needs to be monitored during medication.This paper reviews the antiplatelet drugs in common use, the drug resistance of antiplatelet drugs and the detection methods of platelet aggregation function in Kawasaki disease, which is helpful to improve the safety of drugs use and reduce the incidence of complications in children.

ABSTRACT

Coronary artery lesions are the most serious complications of Kawasaki disease.The incidence of Kawasaki disease is still on the rise in recent years, and the proportion of children with coronary artery dilatation increased in parallel with the incidence of Kawasaki disease.But the incidence of severe coronary artery lesions, such as giant coronary aneurysms, coronary artery stenosis and even occlusion is stable or declining.The pathological changes of coronary artery disease are different with the severity and duration of the disease.Early recognition of coronary artery lesions should not be limited to the observation of luminal dimensions, but also should be explored in depth about the changes of coronary artery structure and function.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility, safety and mid-term outcome of minimally invasive cardiac surgery coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) surgery.@*METHODS@#Data of patients who underwent MICS CABG between November 2015 and November 2017 in Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results were compared with the patients who underwent off-pump coronary aortic bypass grafting (OPCABG) surgery over the same period. The two groups were matched in propensity score matching method according to age, gender, left ventricular ejection fraction, body mass index, severity of coronary artery disease, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, renal insufficiency, history of cerebrovascular accident, and history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).@*RESULTS@#There were 85 patients in MICS CABG group, including 68 males (80.0%) and 17 females (20%), with an average age of (63.8±8.7) years; 451 patients were enrolled in OPCABG group, and 85 patients were matched by propensity score as control group (OPCABG group). There was no significant difference in general clinical characteristics (P>0.05). The average grafts of MICS CABG and OPCABG were 2.35±0.83 and 2.48±0.72 respectively (P=0.284). No conversion to thoracotomy in MICS CABG group or cardiopulmonary bypass in neither group occurred. There was no significant difference in the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACCEs, 1.17% vs. 3.52%), reoperation (2.34 vs. 3.52%), new-onset atrial fibrillation rate (4.70% vs. 3.52%) or new-onset renal insufficiency rate (1.17% vs. 0%) between MICS CABG group and OPCABG group (P>0.05). The operation time in MICS CABG group was longer than that in OPCABG group [(282.8±55.8) min vs. (246.8±56.9) min, P < 0.05], while the time of ventilator supporting(16.9 h vs. 29.6 h), hospitalization in ICU [(29.3±20.8) h vs. (51.5±48.3) h] and total hospitalization [(18.3±3.2) d vs. (25.7±4.2) d] in MICS CABG group were shorter than those in OPCABG group (P < 0.05). The total patency rate (A+B levels) of MICS CABG was 96.5% after surgery. There was no significant difference in MACCEs rate between the two groups [1.18%(1/85) vs. 3.61%(3/83), P>0.05] in 1-year follow up.@*CONCLUSION@#The MICS CABG surgery is a safe and feasible procedure with good clinical results in early and mid-term follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the mediation mechanism of coronary artery lesion among both male and female Kawasaki disease (KD) children.@*Methods@#Children with KD that hospitalized in the Wenzhou Medical University affiliated Yuying Children’s Hospital from January 2009 to December 2014, were included in this study. Differences on demographical characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory indicators, regimen and time of treatment, results from pre/post echocardiography and treatment between male and female patients, were compared. The independent effect of gender on the risk of coronary artery lesions (CAL) was evaluated, and the mediating effect of BMI, visiting time and KD type on the association between gender and CAL were also studied.@*Results@#The average BMI level of male patients was higher than that of female patients. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The prevalence of overweight among male patients (20.9%) was higher than female (14.1%). The difference was statistically significant (P=0.011). Data from the multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that the incidence of CAL in male patients was higher than that in female patients (aOR=1.50, 95%CI: 1.06-2.12) but the CAL was mainly different before on the immunoglobulin therapy. Results from the mediation analysis showed that BMI was an important mediator in the association between gender and CAL, with the indirect effect as 1.05 (95%CI: 1.01- 1.10) and the proportion mediated as 13.0%.@*Conclusions@#Male patients presented higher incidence of CAL but was mainly reflected in the difference of CAL before the treatment. BMI was probably an important mediator related to the association between gender and CAL.

ABSTRACT

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic small and medium vasculitis syndrome,which is most commonly found in children under the age of 5 years.The most severe complications of KD are coronary artery lesions (CAL),which will lead to coronary artery dilatation,myocardial infarction and sudden death.In the acute stage,severe clinical manifestations are associated with shock,and all organs could be involved,which is called severe Kawasaki disease (SKD),sometimes requiring treatment in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) have been reported.Although the clinical symptoms of children with SKD are severe,most patients can survive without any sequelae as long as they can be diagnosed accurately and treated rapidly.In recent years,scholars at home and abroad have paid more and more attention to SKD.Based on these,we take SKD as the research object,try to explain the progress of clinical diagnosis and treatment,which is beneficial to pediatric clinicians to accurately judge and treat related diseases.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical value of Z score in assessing coronary artery lesions (CAL) of children with Kawasaki disease. Methods The clinical records of 102 children with Kawasaki disease from January 2012 to December 2016 in Gansu Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The internal diameter of left main coronary artery (LMCA) and right coronary artery ( RCA) was measured by echocardiography (ECHO),and the incidence of CAL was preliminarily judged. The Z scores of LMCA and RCA were calculated on the basis of the coronary artery diameter,the age of the children and the body surface area,and the incidence of CAL was judged again. Results A total of 22 cases(21. 6%) of CAL were found in 102 cases by ECHO examination,of which 18 cases(17. 6%) of LMCA lesions,and 22 cases(21. 6%) of RCA lesions. A total of 33 cases(32. 4%) of CAL were found by calculating the Z score of coronary artery, of which 29 cases(28. 4%) of LMCA lesions and 33 cases(32. 4%) of RCA lesions. There was significant difference between two methods for determining LMCA lesions (χ2=3. 35,P<0. 05),and there was no sig-nificant difference between two methods for determining RCA lesions (χ2=3. 01,P>0. 05). Z score of coro-nary artery was more accurate to detect the CAL in Kawasaki disease,especially LMCA lesions. A large coro-nary artery aneurysm was found in the patients with the largest Z score by selective coronary angiography. Conclusion The Z score can be more conductive to assess the CAL in children with Kawasaki disease,and the higher the Z score,the more serious the CAL is.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of heart rate deceleration capacity(DC)in patients with unstable angina pectoris(UAP)and its correlation with the scope and severity of coronary artery disease. Methods From September 2016 to January 2017,one hundred and nine patients with UAP and 52 with non-coronary artery disease were diagnosed in the department of cardiology in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. They were all measured with 24h dynamic electrocardiogram and the corresponding analysis software was used to analyze the results,and the difference in deceleration capacity between the two groups was compared. The severity and the number of coronary artery lesions were compared with different deceleration capacity in UAP patients. The relationship between deceleration capacity and the number of coronary artery stenosis, the scope and severity of coronary artery lesions were then analyzed. Results The deceleration capacity value of UAP group was significantly lower than that of the control group((5.10 ± 1.34)vs.(6.03 ±1.40),t=-3.775,P<0.01). The number of coronary artery lesions and Gensini score in group deceleration capacity>4.5 ms were smaller than those in group deceleration capacity ≤4.5 ms((1.67± 0.77)branches vs. (26.76±25.31)branches;(21.27±5.541)points vs.(42.69±8.61)points)(t= -3.910,-2.277,P<0.05). The deceleration capacity value was negatively correlated with the number of coronary artery stenosis(r=-0.206,P<0.01)and the Gensini score(r=-0.358, P<0.01)in patients with UAP. Conclusion Deceleration capacity decreased in patients with UAP and it was closely associated with the severity and the scope of coronary artery lesions.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the acute phase expression of serum cytokines in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) and its association with coronary artery lesions (CALs). Methods Expression of 13 cytokines in serum of 104 KD patients including 11 cases with CALs and 74 febrile control cases admitted to the hospital from October 2016 to March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Interleukin (IL)-8, IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-18, tumor necrotic factor-α and SCD25 (IL-2R) were declined significantly after intravenous immunoglobulin administration (IVIG) in KD patients (all P<0.05). Compared with the fever control group, Pre-IVIG, an IL-17A level ≥ 0.155 pg/mL had a sensitivity of 50% and 93.2% specificity for predicting KD; IL-18 level ≤ 15.43 pg/mL had a sensitivity of 71.2%, and the specificity was 54.1%; SCD25 (IL-2R) ≥ 29475.29 pg/mL had a 65.4% sensitivity and 81.1% specificity for predicting KD. Before IVIG treatment, the level of IL-10 was significantly lower in KD patients with CALs than in those without CALs. Conclusions Determination of various cytokines profile may be helpful for predicting the disease prognosis and targeting treatment strategies in patients with KD.
