Analysis of clinical prognosis and influencing factors of optimal medical therapy for patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention / 中国综合临床

Objective:To study the clinical prognosis and related factors affecting optimal medical therapy (OMT) compliance of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A prospective study was conducted to select 3 818 patients who were diagnosed with CAD and successfully underwent PCI in TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital from October 2016 to September 2017. The clinical information and application of OMT during hospitalization and 1 year later were collected for research.The patients were divided into OMT group and non OMT group according to whether they adhered to OMT during follow-up one year after discharge. After comparing the imbalance baseline data of hypertension,diabetes and hyperlipidemia with propensity score,demographic characteristics, coronary revascularization history, CAD, laboratory related laboratory examinations,and the use of OMT drugs were compared between the two groups. Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship between long-term OMT and clinical prognosis in patients with CAD.Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting long-term OMT compliance.Results:A total of 3 818 cases of CAD patients were matched by propensity score and 2 596 patients were included in the study. There were 1 609 males and 987 females. The age was (62.51±9.56) years old.One year later,1298 patients (50%) insisted on OMT,including dual antiplatelet therapy(DAPT), statins, β-blockers and ACEI/ARB were 97.0% (2 517/2 596),94.5%(2 454/2 596),69.6% (1 806/2 596) and 64.2% (1 666/2 596), especially angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors / angiotensin receptor blockers and β Receptor blockers decreased the most.Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for other factors, compared with non-adherence to OMT group,OMT after PCI was associated with better prognosis ( HR=0.416,95% CI 0.270-0.641, P<0.001). The prognosis of CAD patients with history of old myocardial infarction ( HR=1.804,95% CI 1.070-3.041, P=0.027),cardiac insufficiency ( HR=2.074,95% CI 1.161-3.702, P=0.014),multivessel coronary disease ( HR=2.211,95% CI 1.228-3.983, P=0.008) and BMI>24 ( HR=1.570,95% CI 1.037-2.377, P=0.033) were related to worse clinical outcomes. Multi-factor binary Logistic regression showed that OMT at hospitalization was a strong influencing factor of long-term adherence to OMT ( OR=41.278,95% CI 29.961-56.871, P<0.001). Patients with higher education,employee medical insurance and with history of PCI tend to persist in OMT. Conclusion:The medication compliance of patients with long-term OMT after PCI is still poor,while the high compliance of OMT is related to the lower incidence of adverse cardiovascular events,including death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke. If there is no obvious contraindication,all patients after PCI should adhere to OMT.

Application of Cell Membrane Chromatography Coupled with Mass Spectrometry in Screening of Active Ingredients of Traditional Chinese Medicines / 中国实验方剂学杂志

The chemical components (groups) contained in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and its compound preparations are the material basis for its curative effect, because of the integrity of the action of TCM and the complexity of its compositions and mechanism. The separation and analysis of chemical constituents in TCM and its compound prescriptions by various methods is always a key problem to be solved in the research of disease prevention and treatment of TCM. The binding of drug molecules to receptors at the cellular level was explored to provide a new idea for the screening of active components of TCM or its compound preparations. Traditional methods have some drawbacks, such as cumbersome operation, time-consuming, waste of solvents and irreversible adsorption of samples. The basic information of pharmacological parameters cannot be given in the separation process, and the active ingredients cannot be efficiently and accurately located. At present, cell membrane chromatography (CMC), one of the methods, is used to study the interaction between drug molecules and receptors, and can combine the existing chromatography and mass spectrometry technology, cell biology and receptor pharmacology, and correctly reflect the interaction between active parts, active components and cell membrane and membrane receptors, so it has unique advantages in screening effective parts, separation of active components and high-throughput screening from complex TCM system. The principles and characteristics of CMC, the cell membrane model in the field of active ingredient selection of TCM and its research status in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) were reviewed, and its development prospects and future research methods were discussed, which provides theoretical basis and practical guidance for the research and utilization of CMC in the field of TCM.

Hexabromocyclododecane-induced Genotoxicity in Cultured Human Breast Cells through DNA Damage / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

To investigate the genotoxicity and reveal the potential toxicological mechanisms of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), human breast cells HBL-100 were exposed to a sequence of HBCD concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 50 mg/L) for 24 h. With a series of zymology and molecular biology methods, we found that HBCD induced dose-dependent oxidative stress on HBL-100 DNA. As revealed in qRT-PCR, activated prognostic factor ATM down-regulated tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 and prompted DNA repair genes hOGG1 and hMTH1 expression in lower concentrations of HBCD (< 10 mg/L). However, DNA repair were inhibited as well as cell proliferation rate by higher concentrations of HBCD (50 mg/L). The results inferred that the genotoxicity of HBCD was dose-dependent and related to DNA repair pathway.

Value of Baseline Clinical and CT Characteristics for Predicting the Progression of Persistent Pure Ground-glass Nodule 10 mm or Less in Diameter / 中国医学科学院学报

Objective To explore the risk factors of the progression of persistent pure ground-glass nodule (pGGN) and make the risk stratification for pGGN 10 mm or less in diameter. Methods From June 2008 to April 2015,100 patients (108 lesions) with persistent pGGN≤10 mm in diameter were included in this study. Patients were followed up at least 1 year using thin-section computed tomography (CT). Patients' baseline clinical data and CT characteristics of pGGN were compared between progression group (size increased or/and solid component appeared) and non-progression group. Cox regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between clinical data,CT characteristics of pGGN,and lesion progression. The risk indices of lesion progression were calculated according to the results of Cox regression analysis and the relative factors of lung adenocarcinoma in previous studies. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between risk indices and lesion progression. The optimal cutoff value was decided on receiver operating characteristic curve of risk indices and verified for predicting lesion progression. Results Fifteen of 108 lesions showed progression. The mean follow-up duration was (1016.36±486.00) days. There were statistically significant differences of lesion size,air bronchogram,and vessel changes between progression group and non-progression group (P=0.040,P=0.003,P=0.030,respectively).Lesion density (CT value≥-542.5 HU) and air bronchogram were the risk factors of lesion progression (P=0.003,P=0.021,respectively). The optimal cutoff value of total risk indices on predicting lesion progression was 4.25,with the sensitivity of 46.7%,specificity of 89.2%,and consistency of 83.3%. Conclusions CT value ≥-542.5 HU of pGGN and air bronchogram within lesion may predict lesion progression in persistent pGGN 10 mm or less in diameter. A risk index of less than 4.25 often suggests small probability of disease progression and thus a longer follow-up interval is recommended.

Analysis of histopathologic subtypes and CT characteristics of lung adenocarcinomas presenting as pure ground-glass nodule of 1 cm or less in maximal diameter / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the correlations between CT features and histopathologic subtypes of lung adenocarcinomas presenting as pure ground-glass nodules (pGGN) of 1 cm or less in maximal diameter. Methods CT appearances, pathology and clinical data of 95 patients (97 lesions) who underwent curative resection of lung adenocarcinomas presenting as pGGN≤1 cm in diameter from March 2011 to February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 97 lung adenocarcinomas, there were 19 atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) (19.6%), 31 adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) (31.9%), 19 minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) (19.6%) and 28 invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma (IPA) (28.9%). Fifty (51.5%) were preinvasive (AAH+AIS) and 47 (48.5%) were invasive (MIA+IPA). Lesion size and density were compared among pathologic subtypes using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Lesion size were compared between preinvasive and invasive lesions using 2?independent samples t?test. Lesion location, presence of bubble?like sign, air bronchogram, vessel changes, margin, and tumor?lung interface were compared among histopathologic subtypes using chi?square test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the cut-off point of size in discriminating preinvasive lesions from invasive lesions. Results Of the 97 lesions, there were no statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of lesion density, presence of bubble?like sign, air?bronchogram, and margin (P>0.05). Mean size of AAH, AIS, MIA and IPA was (0.72 ± 0.19), (0.82 ± 0.14), (0.84 ± 0.11) and (0.85 ± 0.16) cm respectively. There were statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of lesion size (F=3.16, P=0.028). The vessel changes occurred in 2 of AAH, 11 of AIS, 10 of MIA and 17 of IPA. There were statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of vessel changes (χ2=13.22, P=0.004). Lesions with clear tumor?lung interface were in 10 of AAH, 24 of AIS, 17 of MIA, and 26 of IPA. There were statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of tumor?lung interface (χ2=12.67, P=0.005). The optimal cutoff value of lesion size for differentiating preinvasive lesions from invasive lesions was 0.82 cm (sensitivity, 61.7%;specificity, 62.0%). Conclusion Lesion size, vessel changes, and lung?tumor interface may indicate the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma presenting as pGGNs of≤1 cm in diameter.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss the correlation of pathologic subtypes and immunohistochemical implication with CT features of lung adenocarcinoma 1 cm or less in diameter with focal ground-glass opacity (fGGO).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>CT appearances of 59 patients who underwent curative resection of lung adenocarcinoma ≤ 1 cm with fGGO were analyzed in terms of lesion location, size, density, shape (round, oval, polygonal, irregular), margin (smooth, lobular, spiculated, lobular and spiculated), bubble-like sign, air bronchogram, pleural tag, and tumor-lung interface. Histopathologic subtypes were classified according to International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/ American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society classification of lung adenocarcinoma. Common molecular markers in immunohistochemical study included human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-1,HER-2,Ki-67, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and DNA topoisomerase 2Α.Patients' age and lesions' size and density were compared with pathologic subtypes using analysis of variance or nonparametric Wilcoxon tests. Patients' gender, lesion location, shape and margin, bubble-like sign, air bronchogram, pleural tag, and tumor-lung interface were compared with histopathologic subtypes and immunohistochemical implication using ψ² test or Fisher's exact test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients' gender, age, lesion location, shape, air bronchogram, pleural tag, and tumor-lung interface were not significantly different among different histopathologic subtypes (P=0.194, 0.126, 0.609, 0.678, 0.091, 0.374, and 0.339, respectively), whereas the lesion size,density,bubble-like sign, and margin showed significant differences (P=0.028, 0.002, 0.003, 0.046, respectively). The expression of Ki-67 significantly differed among nodules with different shapes(P=0.015). Statistically significant difference also existed between tumor-lung interface and HER-1 expression (P=0.019) and between bubble sign and HER-2 expression (P=0.049).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Of lung adenocarcinoma ≤ 1 cm with fGGO,bubble-like sign occurs more frequently in invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma and less frequently in atypical adenomatous hyperplasia. In addition, preinvasive lesions (atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma in situ) more frequently demonstrates smooth margin,while invasive lesions (minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma) more frequently demonstrates lobular and spiculated margin. Some CT features are associated with immunohistochemical implication of lung adenocarcinoma ≤ 1 cm with fGGO.</p>
