Objectives To study the predictive value of Toll-like receptors 3,4(TLR3,TLR4),fructosamine(FMN)and glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)in the in-stent restenosis and re-occlusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients aged 70-85 years with old myocardial infarction.Methods 51 patients aged 70-85 years with in-stent restenosis after primary PCI from Jan 2007 to Sep 2016 were selected.Serum level changes in TLR3,TLR4 were detected by flow cytometry.The levels of FMN and HbA1c were tested by colorimetric endpoint reaction and high-pressure liquid chromatography respectively.Results The levels of TLR3,TLR4,FMN and HbA1c were gradually elevated along with the increases of artery numbers(0,1,2,>2)and percentage(0%,70-89%,90-99%,100%)of in-stent restenosis,LVEF(%)decrease and NYHA(Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ)increase(all P<0.01).The examples of data were selected in the following groups of artery numbers(0,1,2,>2)of in-stent restenosis in TLR3,and group of percentage(0%,70-89%,90-99%,100%)in the in-stent restenosis in TLR4,group of LVEF(%)in FMN,and group of NYHAⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ in HbA1c(%)(all P<0.01).The levels of TLR3(%)in artery numbers of restenosis(0,1,2,>2)groups were(7.6±0.5),(18.9±0.6),(32.0±0.9),(51.3±0.8),respectively(all P<0.01).The levels of TLR4(%)in the in-stent restenosis percentage(0%,70-89%,90-99%,100%)groups were(10.5±7.0),(20.1±7.2),(33.3±9.7),(69.0±11.3%)respectively(all P<0.01).The levels of FMN(mmol/L)in LVEF[(49~59%),(37~48%),(25~36%)]groups were(0.6±0.4),(9.4±0.6),(18.1±0.8),respectively(all P<0.01).And the level of HbA1c(%)in groups of NYHA Ⅰ,NYHA Ⅱ,NYHA Ⅲ,NYHA Ⅳ were(6.1±0.4),(5.9±0.6),(8.9±0.9),(12.0±0.8),respectively(all P<0.01).Conclusions Serum level changes in TLR3,TLR4,FMN and HbA1c may become the new indicators to forecast the degree of in-stent restenosis in very old patients with old myocardial infarction after primary coronary intervention.

Objective To study the changes in expression of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP),glutathione S-transferase Pi(GSTPi)and annexin A5 (AnxA5)in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction and the clinical significance.Methods Serum levels of GSTPi and AnxA5 were measured by ELISA and the level of hs-CRP was measured by immunoturbidimetry in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction (n =185)from December 2012 to November 2015.Results Along with the increasing coronary artery stenosis,GSTPi level was decreased and AnxA5/hs-CRP levels were increased in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction.In comparison between coronary artery stenosis ＞ 95％ group versus stenosis of 55％-65％ group,GSTPi was(190.0±37.0)μg/L vs.(289.0 ±86.0)μg/L,AnxA5 was(33.9±4.0)μg/L vs.(8.1 ± 2.9) μg/L,and hs-CRP was (15.3 ± 1.3) mg/L vs.(5.9 ± 0.8) mg/L with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.01).There were significant differences between LVEF 30％ group[GSTPi(198.0±39.0) μg/L,AnxA5(38.9±5.1)μg/L and hs-CRP(17.9± 1.9)mg/L]and LVEF 40％-54％ group[GSTPi(219.0± 61.0)μg/L,AnxA5 (12.9±3.9)μg/L and hs-CRP(10.1 ± 1.0) mg/L] (all P＜0.01).There were significant differences between NYHA Ⅳ group [GSTPi (171.0 ± 43.0) μg/L,AnxA5 (18.1 ± 5.0) μg/L and hs-CRP (16.9±2.1)mg/L]and NYHAⅠgroup[GSTPi(295.0±91.0)μg/L,AnxA5(7.3±3.1)μg/L and hs-CRP (7.8± 1.3)mg/L](all P＜0.01).Conclusions The expression of GSTPi,AnxA5 and hs-CRP in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction may become the new indicators to forecast the degrees of coronary artery stenosis and heart failure.

ObjectiveTo determine the correlation between qualities of life(QOL) and depression,anxiety in cancer patients.Methods91 cancer patients was measured with self anxiety scale(SAS),self depression scale(SDS) and SF-36.ResultsDepression occurred in about 51.5% and anxiety occurred in about 24.1% of the general patients.The patients without depression showed a higher QOL than those with depression(P<0.05),and the patients without anxiety showed a higher QOL than those with anxiety(P<0.01).ConclusionDepression and anxiety are associated with poor quality of life,which should be put into plans of nursing.

Objective To study the clinical value of anti-oxidative stress biomarkers for diagnosing in-stent restenosis and in-reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.Methods A total of 72 advanced-aged patients with in-stent restenosis and in-stent reocclusion after coronary stent implantation were successively recruited in this retrospective study from February 2010 to November 2017.Changes in serum superoxide dismutase 3(SOD3),nitric oxide(NO),endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)and malondialdehyde(MDA)levels were measured.Results Serum 1evels of SOD3,NO and eNOS decreased and serum MDA levels were elevated in advanced-aged patients with in-stent restenosis.There were significant differences in serum levels of SOD3,NO,eNOS and MDA between the advanced-aged patients without in-stent restenosis and the advanced-aged patients with multivessel in-stent restenosis or reocclusion[(20.0±3.2) × 103U/L vs.(10.9±3.9) ×103U/L,(61.2±14.2)μmol/L vs.(28.3±17.2)μmol/L,(75.9±24.7)ng/L vs.(33.0±119.6)ng/L,(2.2±1.4)nmol/L vs.(11.7±3.1)nmol/L,respectively,P＜0.01].Patients with 50-69％ restenosis had higher serum levels of SOD3,NO and eNOS and lower levels of MDA than patients with 100％ restenosis[(21.3 ± 2.9) × 103 U/L vs.(10.3 ± 4.0) × 103 U/L,(59.7 ± 16.7) μmol/L vs.(38.3 ±16.3)μmol/L,(74.5±21.1)ng/L vs.(41.9±26.8)ng/L,(2.6±3.9 nmol/L)vs.(10.1±3.1)nmol/L,respectively,P ＜ 0.01].Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55 ％ had higher serum levels of SOD3,NO and eNOS and lower levels of MDA than patients with LVEF＜30％ [(21.0±4.1) × 103 U/L vs.(5.3±1.9) × 103 U/L,(60.1 ± 14.2)μmol/L vs.(29.0± 13.2)μmol/L,(74.7±25.1)ng/L vs.(39.3 ± 20.3) ng/L,(2.3 ± 1.5) nmol/L vs.(10.0 ± 3.9) nmol/L,respectively,P ＜0.01].Serum levels of SOD3,NO and eNOS were higher and MDA levels were lower in patients with New York Heart Association(NYHA)Class Ⅰ than in patients with NYHA Class Ⅳ[(22.1±3.5)×103U/L vs.(9.7±2.9) × 103 U/L,(62.9± 13.9)μmol/L vs.(24.9± 13.3)μmol/L,(76.7±26.7) ng/L vs.(41.9±21.5)ng/L,(2.7± 1.9)nmol/L vs.(8.7±3.8)nmol/L,respectively,P＜0.01].Conclusions Serum level changes of anti-oxidative stress biomarkers such as SOD3,NO and eNOS may have clinical value in diagnosing in-stent restenosis and in-reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.

Objective To investigate risk factors for in-stent restenosis and reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.Methods 131 patients diagnosed with chronic total occlusion and old myocardial infarction due to coronary stenosis were recruited in this retrospective study from Mar 2004 to May 2015.Patients were divided into 50 to 59 years old group (n=51),60 to 69 years old group (n=43),and 70 to 80 years old group (n=37) to study coronary lesion characteristics.In-stent restenosis and reocclusion were detected at 6,12,18,and 24 months after coronary stent implantation.Results Before coronary stent implantation,the incidence rate of type 2 diabetes was significantly increased with three increasing age groups:9.8％ at ages 50-59 group (n=5),18.6％ at ages 60-69 group (n=8),and 27.0％ at ages 70-80 group (n=10) (all-P＜0.01).The incidence rates of multiple coronary artery disease,long coronary lesions (＞20 mm),eccentric coronary lesions,serious angle of coronary lesions,irregular coronary lesions,proximal coronary curvature,moderate to severe calcified coronary lesions,coronary restenosis (90％-99％ or 100％),and complex bifurcation lesions were significantly elevated with three increasing age groups (P ＜0.01 or P ＜0.05).The ratios of patients with in-stent restenosis at 24 months after coronary stent implantation were significantly elevated with three increasing age groups:at 9.8％ (n=5),18.6％ (n=8),and 27.0％(n=10) for 90％ 99％ restenosis sub-group,and at 5.9％ (n=3),14.0％ (n=6) and 24.3％ (n=9) for 100％ restenosis sub-group,respectively (all P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)Conclusions Type 2 diabetes is an independent risk factor for complex coronary lesions in aged patients Complex coronary lesions,three or more stents,and long coronary stents may lead to ir-stent restenosis and reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.

Objective:To investigate clinical characteristics for in-stent reocclusion lesions after coronary stent implantations in aged patients.Methods:229 patients diagnosed with chronic total reocclusions were recruited from Jan 2005 to Dec 2019 in this retrospective study.According to age, patients were divided into a 40-49 year-old group(n=60), a 50-59 year-old group(n=58), a 60-69 year-old group(n=55), and a 70-80 year-old group(n=56)to examine different lesion characteristics after coronary stent implantations.Results:In the 40-49 year-old group, the 50-59 year-old group, the 60-69 year-old group and the 70-80 year-old group, the rates of multi-vessel reocclusions were 11.6%, 15.5%, 21.8% and 25.0%, respectively( χ2=10.03, P=0.01). For each group, lesions with concurrent proximal and middle coronary reocclusions accounted for 8.3%, 12.0%, 30.9% and 35.7%, respectively( χ2=11.83, P=0.005); Reocclusions with severe coronary calcification accounted for 6.6%, 15.5%, 36.3% and 37.5%, respectively( χ2=11.56, P=0.006); Long coronary reocclusion lesions(36-47 mm)accounted for 15.0%, 17.2%, 21.8% and 25.0%, respectively( χ2=11.56, P=0.007); Coronary reocclusions with diffuse long calcified lesions accounted for 8.3%, 13.7%, 32.7% and 35.7%, respectively( χ2=10.80, P=0.01). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of in-stent reocclusion lesions after coronary stent implantations include multiple chronic total coronary reocclusions, concurrent proximal and middle coronary reocclusions, heavily calcified coronary reocclusions, long coronary reocclusions and diffuse long calcified coronary reocclusions in aged patients.
