Its value as a submaximal stress test in the risk stratification of chronic stable ischaemic syndromes is as yet not validated. 95 patients undergoing coronary angiography for assessment of chronic stable angina performed the 6MWT according to a modified protocol. The gamma correlation test indicated a moderately significant relationship between ECG changes plus symptoms at the end of the 6MWT and multi vessel coronary arterial disease. The T wave changes showed no significant correlation. Hence the 6MWT is a useful tool in the risk stratification of stable ischaemic syndromes which can be safely performed in a general ward prior to hospital discharge. It would be a useful preliminary test before planning a programme of cardiac rehabilitation.展开更多

The present study evaluates the morbidity and mortality among coronary artery disease patients undergoing triple-vessel angioplasty. This prospective record based descriptive study was carried out in Medical College, Pariyaram, Kannur, Kerala;a tertiary care cardiac centre in South India. Fifty consecutive patients who underwent angioplasty of one or more lesions in each of the three major coronary arteries from May 2010 to July 2012 were included in the study. The study describes the clinical profile of the patients and a moderate term clinical follow-up to reassess the symptoms, functional status and left ventricular function by history, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and treadmill test. Mortality and morbidity were considered as end-points of the study. Event-free survival rate was 94% at a mean follow-up of 20 months. Overall 98% continued success was obtained with triple-vessel angioplasty. Triple-vessel angioplasty is a safe and effective therapy as an alternative to surgical revascularization in selected patients with triple-vessel coronary artery disease.展开更多

METHODS: In 390 patients referred for coronary angiography to a single center (Luzerner Kantonsspital, Switzerland) between May 2007 and January 2011, 691 proximal vessel segments in left anterior descending, circumflex and/or right coronary arteries were imaged by VH-IVUS. Plaque burden and plaque composition(fibrous, fibro-fatty, necrotic core and dense calcium volumes) were analyzed in 3 age tertiles, according to gender and separated for vessels containing non-culprit or culprit lesions. To classify as vessel containing a culprit lesion, the patient had to present with an acute coronary syndrome, and the VH-IVUS had to be performed in a vessel segment containing the culprit lesion according to conventional coronary angiography. RESULTS: In non-culprit vessels the plaque burden increased significantly with aging (in men from 37% ± 12% in the lowest to 46% ± 10% in the highest age tertile, P < 0.001; in women from 30% ± 9% to 40% ± 11%, P < 0.001); men had higher plaque burden than women at any age (P < 0.001 for each of the 3 age tertiles). In culprit vessels of the lowest age tertile, plaque burden was significantly higher than that in non- culprit vessels (in men 48% ± 6%, P < 0.001 as compared to non-culprit vessels; in women 44% ± 18%, P = 0.004 as compared to non-culprit vessels). Plaque burden of culprit vessels did not significantly change during aging (plaque burden in men of the highest age tertile 51% ± 9%, P = 0.523 as compared to lowest age tertile; in women of the highest age tertile 49% ± 8%, P = 0.449 as compared to lowest age tertile). In men, plaque morphology of culprit vessels became increasingly rupture-prone during aging (increasing percentages of necrotic core and dense calcium), whereas plaque morphology in non-culprit vessels was less rupture-prone and remained constant during aging. In women, necrotic core in non-culprit vessels was very low at young age, but increased during aging resulting in a plaque morphology that was very similar to men. Plaque morphology in culprit vessels of young women and men was similar. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence that age-and gender-related differences in plaque burden and plaque composition significantly depend on whether the vessel contained a non-culprit or culprit lesion.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Exosomal miRNAs play crucial roles in many central nervous system diseases.Cerebral small vessel disease(CVSD)is a small vessel disease that is affected by various factors.This study aimed to investigate the role of exosomal miR-320e in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway stimulated by oxidative stress and assess its clinical correlation with psychiatric symptoms in patients with CVSD.AIM To explore whether exosomal miR-320e could suppress the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and play a protective role in CVSD progression,as well as examine its potential correlation with cognitive impairment and depression in patients with CVSD.METHODS Differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs were filtered by sequencing plasma exosomes from patients with CVSD and healthy controls.Bioinformatics and dual luciferase analyses were used to confirm the binding of miR-320e to Wnt2,and the mRNA and protein levels of downstream components in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway were evaluated when overexpressed or with knockdown of miR-320e under H2O2-induced oxidative stress.In addition,Wnt2-targeting siRNA was used to confirm the role of miR-320e in the Wnt2-mediated inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.A retrospective analysis was conducted among patients with CVSD to confirm the correlation between miR-320e expression and the severity of cognitive impairment and depression,which were quantified using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)/Executive Function Assessment(EFA),and the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)/Beck Depression Inventory(BDI),respectively.RESULTS High-throughput sequencing revealed that exosomal miR-320e was downregulated in patients with CVSD.Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments showed that exosomal miR-320e inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in response to oxidative stress by targeting the 3'noncoding region of Wnt2.Uptake of exosomes carrying miR-320e into endothelial cells could also target Wnt2 and inhibit the Wnt2/β-catenin pathway.Elevated miR-320e expression may protect patients with CVSD from relatively severe cognitive impairment and depression,as it was found to have a positive correlation with the MoCA/EFA and HAMD/BDI scores.CONCLUSION Our results suggest that exosomal miR-320e suppresses the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and may play a protective role in CVSD progression.

文摘BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty,while an effective intervention,can frequently lead to acute occlusion with severe consequences.Although clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of drug-coated balloons(DCB)in treating acute coronary artery occlusion and in preventing restenosis,there has been limited exploration on the use of DCB in treating de novo lesions in large vessels.Currently,DCB are only recommended for patients with small vessel lesions and in-stent restenosis lesions,those at high risk of bleeding,and other special groups of patients.CASE SUMMARY This report presents a case of successful drug-coated balloon treatment of de novo lesions in large coronary vessels.Postoperatively,the patient demonstrated favorable recovery,with subsequent examination results revealing no significant differences from the previous examination.CONCLUSION The successful treatment of the patient in our case highlights the potential of DCB in the treatment of de novo lesions in large coronary vessels.
文摘Classically Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia have been considered as two different entities,with their own clinical criteria,but relatively recent epidemiological and clinicopathological studies suggest an overlap between them sharing not only most of the risk factors and some clinical aspects but also pathophysiological mechanisms.Cerebrovascular lesions,especially small vessel disease(lacunar infarcts,white matter hyperintensities and microbleeds),may magnify the effects of mild Alzheimer's disease pathology and promote the progression of cognitive decline and may also be a precursor of neuronal damage and dementia."Vascular hypothesis" of Alzheimer's disease would open a window for new approaches and treatments.
文摘The 6 minute walk test (6MWT) is well established in the clinical assessment of heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and COPD. Its value as a submaximal stress test in the risk stratification of chronic stable ischaemic syndromes is as yet not validated. 95 patients undergoing coronary angiography for assessment of chronic stable angina performed the 6MWT according to a modified protocol. The gamma correlation test indicated a moderately significant relationship between ECG changes plus symptoms at the end of the 6MWT and multi vessel coronary arterial disease. The T wave changes showed no significant correlation. Hence the 6MWT is a useful tool in the risk stratification of stable ischaemic syndromes which can be safely performed in a general ward prior to hospital discharge. It would be a useful preliminary test before planning a programme of cardiac rehabilitation.

文摘AIM: To investigate age-and gender-related differences in non-culprit versus culprit coronary vessels assessed with virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS). METHODS: In 390 patients referred for coronary angiography to a single center (Luzerner Kantonsspital, Switzerland) between May 2007 and January 2011, 691 proximal vessel segments in left anterior descending, circumflex and/or right coronary arteries were imaged by VH-IVUS. Plaque burden and plaque composition(fibrous, fibro-fatty, necrotic core and dense calcium volumes) were analyzed in 3 age tertiles, according to gender and separated for vessels containing non-culprit or culprit lesions. To classify as vessel containing a culprit lesion, the patient had to present with an acute coronary syndrome, and the VH-IVUS had to be performed in a vessel segment containing the culprit lesion according to conventional coronary angiography. RESULTS: In non-culprit vessels the plaque burden increased significantly with aging (in men from 37% ± 12% in the lowest to 46% ± 10% in the highest age tertile, P < 0.001; in women from 30% ± 9% to 40% ± 11%, P < 0.001); men had higher plaque burden than women at any age (P < 0.001 for each of the 3 age tertiles). In culprit vessels of the lowest age tertile, plaque burden was significantly higher than that in non- culprit vessels (in men 48% ± 6%, P < 0.001 as compared to non-culprit vessels; in women 44% ± 18%, P = 0.004 as compared to non-culprit vessels). Plaque burden of culprit vessels did not significantly change during aging (plaque burden in men of the highest age tertile 51% ± 9%, P = 0.523 as compared to lowest age tertile; in women of the highest age tertile 49% ± 8%, P = 0.449 as compared to lowest age tertile). In men, plaque morphology of culprit vessels became increasingly rupture-prone during aging (increasing percentages of necrotic core and dense calcium), whereas plaque morphology in non-culprit vessels was less rupture-prone and remained constant during aging. In women, necrotic core in non-culprit vessels was very low at young age, but increased during aging resulting in a plaque morphology that was very similar to men. Plaque morphology in culprit vessels of young women and men was similar. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence that age-and gender-related differences in plaque burden and plaque composition significantly depend on whether the vessel contained a non-culprit or culprit lesion.
文摘脑小血管病(small vessel disease,SVD)是一类以脑内小血管受损为主的临床影像综合征,可能会导致卒中、血管性认知障碍、神经心理疾病与其他功能障碍等。自2013年血管性神经病变的影像报告标准(standards for reporting vascular changes on neuroimaging,STRIVE)发布以来,SVD的神经影像学特征得到了初步的分类与标准化。然而,在临床实践与科学研究中,对SVD影像特征的认识和应用仍存在诸多不一致和不规范之处。随着对SVD病理生理机制的深入探索与影像技术的不断进步,新的SVD影像特征和定量标志物被相继发现,为SVD的诊断和评估提供了更为全面且精准的信息。在此基础上,STRIVE-2应运而生,以期能更全面地揭示SVD对脑功能与结构的影响。为了规范中国SVD的神经影像学评估和诊断,本共识将在STRIVE-2的基础上,结合中国具体国情,对SVD的神经影像学特征进行深入解读,旨在推动SVD影像学诊断术语的标准化,提高临床诊断的准确性,进一步促进相关领域的研究与进步。
文摘目的 探讨脑小血管病(CSVD)患者近期皮质下小梗死与认知功能的相关性。方法 回顾性连续纳入2018年2月―2022年9月就诊于北京大学第一医院神经内科经头部MRI诊断的CSVD患者,收集一般人口学资料和临床资料,使用简易精神状态量表(MMSE)、蒙特利尔认知评估量表(MoCA)评估认知功能,根据磁共振DWI分为近期皮质下小梗死(RSSI)组和非RSSI组,统计RSSI的部位和数目。比较两组患者的一般人口学资料、临床资料、认知功能,分析RSSI影像学特征与认知功能的关系。结果 共纳入CSVD患者181例,RSSI组91例,非RSSI组90例。RSSI组与非RSSI组相比,BMI高[(25.43±3.53)kg/m^(2) vs(24.27±3.33)kg/m^(2),t=2.228, P=0.027],收缩压高[(145.3±16.2)mmHg vs(139.6±20.2)mmHg,t=2.013,P=0.046],MoCA总分较低[22(18.8,26) vs 24(21,27),Z=-1.980,P=0.048],视空间与执行能力[3(2,4) vs 4(3,5),Z=-2.756,P=0.006]、语言[2(2,3) vs 2(1,2), Z=-2.020,P=0.043]、抽象[2(1,2) vs 2(1,2)分,Z=-2.052,P=0.04]得分均较低,差异均具有显著性统计学意义(P<0.05)。RSSI基底节梗死组与非RSSI组相比,MoCA总分较低[21(17,23) vs 24(21,27),Z=-2.018,P=0.044],视空间与执行[3(1.5,3.5) vs 4(3,5),Z=-2.601,P=0.009]得分较低,RSSI脑干梗死组与非RSSI组相比,视空间与执行[3(2,4) vs 4(3,5),Z=-2.325,P=0.020]、语言[2(1,2) vs 2(2,3),Z=-2.338,P=0.019]得分较低,差异具有显著性统计学意义。结论 CSVD患者中RSSI可导致认知功能障碍,与RSSI梗死部位相关,RSSI不同梗死部位导致不同的认知损害模式。预防RSSI发生,对于预防CSVD相关认知功能障碍具有重要意义。
