Objective: To explore the impact of body mass index (BMI) on long-term prognosis in patients of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 1435 consecutive STEMI patients received PCI in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2013-12 were enrolled. Based BMI (kg/m2), the patients were divided into 3 groups: Normal weight group, the patients with 18.5≤BMI<24.0, n=365, Overweight group, 24.0≤BMI<28.0, n=718 and Obese group, BMI≥28.0, n=352. The impact of BMI on major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) was observed; weather BMI had predictive value for all-cause mortality and cardiac death was analyzed. Results: All-cause mortality in Obese group was lower than Normal weight group (0.6% vs 3.0%), P=0.027; while the incidences of bleeding, stroke, in-stent thrombosis, blood revascularization, re-myocardial infarction and cardiac death were similar among 3 groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that obesity was an independent predictor for all-cause death (HR=0.201, 95% CI 0.043-0.943, P=0.042), BMI was not the independent predictor for cardiac death. Conclusion: For STEMI patients after PCI treatment, the individuals with obesity had the better prognosis than those with normal weight and overweight. Obesity was an independent predictor for all-cause death and obesity paradox was applicable in such population.

Objective To objectively quantitative assess the visual quality in patients with myopic foveoschisis (MF) using a double-pass optical quality analysis system (OQASⅡ).Methods Sixty-two subjects participated in this cross-sectional,observational study,who were divided into three groups based on the pathologic conditions including myopic fovcoschisis group (MFG),myopic control group (MCG) and normal control group (NCG).Measurements with OQAS Ⅱ were performed for the modulation transfer function cut off frequency (MTFcut-off),the Strehl ratio (SR) and the objective scatter index (OSI).Visual data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson's correlation accompanied by logMAR BCVA and axial length (AL).Results The mean values for MTFcut-off,SRand OSIof MFG,MCGand NCG were 18.18±4.81,0.13± 0.03,3.50±0.44;22.87±2.66,0.14±0.02,2.42±0.29;33.68±4.70,0.23±0.02,1.68±0.20 respectively,and statistical difference were proved except SR between MFG and MCG,or BCVA between MCG and NCG (P＜ 0.05).LogMAR BCVA and AL have negative correlations to MTF cut-off (r =-0.928,-0.658;P＜0.05) and SR (r=-0.577,-0.893;P＜0.05) with high coefficients in MFG.Log MAR BCVA has negative correlations to MTF cut-off and SR (r=-0.659,-0.806;P＜0.05) in MCG.Log MAR BCVA has negative correlations to MTF cut-off and SR (r=-0.606,-0.602;P＜0.05) and positively correlated to OSI (r=0.561,P＜0.05) in NCG.Conclusions The mean value of BCVA,MTF cut-off,SR,OSI of myopic foveoschisis patients were lower than those myopic patients without foveoschisis and normal people.there exists a significant negative correlation between Log MAR BCVA,AL to MTF cut-off and SR.Compared with myopic and normal subjects,myopic foveoschisis have lower BCVA,MTF cut off,SR but higher OSI.

OBJECTIVE: To screen for Jk(a-b-) phenotype among blood donors from Jining area and explore its molecular basis to enrich the rare blood group bank for the region. METHODS: The population who donated blood gratuitously at Jining Blood Center from July 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the study subjects. The Jk(a-b-) phenotype was screened with the 2 mol/L urea lysis method, and the result was confirmed by using classical serological methods. Exons 3 to 10 of the SLC14A1 gene and its flanking regions were subjected to Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: Among 95 500 donors, urea hemolysis test has identified three without hemolysis, which was verified by serological method as the Jk(a-b-) phenotype and demonstrated no anti-Jk3 antibody. The frequency of the Jk(a-b-) phenotype in Jining area is therefore 0.0031%. Gene sequencing and haplotype analysis showed that the genotypes of the three samples were JK*02N.01/JK*02N.01, JK*02N.01/JK-02-230A and JK*02N.20/JK-02-230A, respectively. CONCLUSION The splicing variant of c.342-1G>A in intron 4, missense variants of c.230G>A in exon 4, and c.647_ 648delAC in exon 6 probably underlay the Jk(a-b-) phenotype in the local population, which is different from other regions in China. The c.230G>A variant was unreported previously.
