Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of treating bifurcation lessions with jailed-balloon technique in simple strategy. Methods Ninety patients with bifurcation lessions (Duke D or F type) who received the side branch protection technique with simple strategy were involved in a single center retrospective analysis. Patients were randomly divided into jailed-balloon protection group (n=48) and jailed guidewire group (n=42). The process operating, procedural success of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), complications and the results of follow-up were investigated. Results The clinical baseline date and the bifurcation lesions were not significant different between jailed-balloon group and jailed guidewire group (P>0.05). The procedural success rate of PCI was 100%in jailed-balloon group and 97.6%in jailed guidewire group, no significance difference user between two groups (P>0.05). The perioperative complications (the rate of no reflow) was lower in jailed-balloon group than those of jailed guidewire group (1.0%vs. 19.0%, P<0.05). The procedural success rate of PTCA were lower in jailed-balloon group than that of jailed guidewire group (4.2%vs. 23.8%, P<0.01). The total operation time [(56.40±11.71) s vs. (72.60±10.62) s],exposing time [(9.86±1.82) s vs.(12.24±2.32)s] or amount of used contrast agent [(90.54±15.26) mL vs. (118.16±18.64) mL] were significantly lower in jailed-balloon group compared with those of jailed guidewire group (P<0.05). At the 12-month follow-up, the MACE was lower in the jailed-balloon group than that of jailed guidewire group (16.7%vs. 38.1%, P<0.05). The restenotic rate (2.1%vs. 4.8%, P>0.05) and the maximum restenotic level (19.24%vs. 21.46%,P>0.05) in the main branch were not significant different between jailed-balloon group and jailed guidewire group. But the maximum restenotic level in the opening of side branch was lower in jailed-balloon group than that of jailed guidewire group (51.2% vs. 72.46%, P < 0.01). Conclusion The jailed-balloon technique reduces the operation complications, exposure time and amount of contrast agent, and also saves surgical consumables. The procedure of branch with simple strategy is safe and effective in treatment of bifurcation lesions.

Objective To define the functional significance of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) gene polymorphism and to investigate, the production of IL-1ra by monocytes from individuals with different genotypes of IL-1.Methods The genotype of IL-1ra was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Peripheral monocytes obtained from patients with immunoglobin A nephropathy (IgAN), Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and normal subjects were matched in sex and age between the IL1RN-2 allele carriers and non-carriers. The secretion of IL-1ra, IL-1α and IL-1β in the supernatant of GM-CSF (10ng/ml) treated and untreated monocytes were measured by ELISA.Results The secretion of IL-1ra by monocytes stimulated with GM-CSF was significantly higher in the IL1RN-2 allele non-carriers than those of carriers both in IgAN (21.55±3.08 vs 13.85±2.24ng/ml, P<0.001) and HSPN (23.72±6.68 vs 12.67±2.24ng/ml, P<0.01) as well as in normal controls (20.29±1.45 vs 10.51±2.3ng/ml, P<0.001). All showed no significant differences in monocyte secretion of IL-1α and IL-1β by GM-CSF stimulation between the IL1RN-2 allele carriers and non-carriers. Conclusions These results indicate that a functional correlation of the IL1RN-2 allele and IL-1ra production is present in patients with IgAN and HSPN. This gene polymorphism control of IL-1ra production may contribute to the variety of clinical responses to inflammatory stimulation in individuals with different genotype of IL-1ra.
