Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban infusion to infarct related vessels on patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: From Jan 2013 to Jun 2014, a total of 30 STEMI patients were enrolled as tirofiban group (tirofiban 500μg was infused to infarct related vessels during emergency PCI), and received intravenous drip of tirofiban 0.1 μg•kg-1•min-1 for 24h after stent implantation; another 31 STEMI patients were regarded as pure stenting group during the same period and they received direct stent implantation during emergency PCI. Computer-assisted Quantitative Blush Evaluator (QuBE) score, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during hospitalization and after six-month follow-up and incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results: There were no significant difference in baseline data between two groups, P>0.05. Compared with pure stenting group, after six months, there were significant rise in QuBE score [(10.88±5.03) scores vs. (14.70±6.69) scores] and LVEF [(57.19±4.59)% vs. (59.80±5.34)%], and significant reduction in incidence rate of MACE (35.5% vs. 10.0%) in tirofiban group, P<0.05 all. Conclusion: Tirofiban application in infarct related vessels during emergency PCI in STEMI patients can effectively and safely improve myocardial microcirculation perfusion level and it is worth extending.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of the optical surface imaging system (OSI) using stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) algorithm in single-center non-coplanar treatment of multiple brain metastases.Methods:Data of phantom and 15 patients with multiple brain metastases who underwent single-center non-coplanar radiotherapy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from February to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. kV/MV and OSI imaging were used for imaging of the patients and phantoms under the same non-coplanar couch angle, respectively. The accuracy of OSI imaging of the phantoms and patients was evaluated using kV/MV imaging as reference image. The difference between the OSI and kV/MV systems is defined as accuracy, and the percentage of the absolute difference ≤1.00 mm in the translational direction or ≤0.50° in the rotational direction is defined as the threshold pass rate. Origin software was used to draw radar maps and Bland-Altman plots for statistical analysis.Results:When OSI images were used for the phantom imaging, the average differences in six-dimensional directions of lateral, long, vertical, rotational, roll and pitch were 0.03 mm, -0.09 mm, -0.27 mm, 0.04°, 0.17° and -0.19°, respectively. The maximum values were -2.20 mm, -2.30 mm, -1.20 mm, 0.60°, -1.00°, and -1.00°, respectively. When OSI system was utilized for the imaging of 15 patients, the average differences in six-dimensional directions were 0.44 mm, 0.16 mm, -0.20 mm, -0.11°, 0.10°, and -0.12°, respectively. The maximum values were -1.80 mm, 2.00 mm, 0.90 mm, -0.90°, -0.70°, and 0.80°, respectively. The translational errors mainly occurred in the lateral and long directions. The qualified rates of the threshold values of the phantoms and patients were 77% and 75% in the lateral direction, 82% and 89% in the long direction, respectively. In addition, 57% and 56% of patients met the threshold conditions of ±1.00 mm and ±0.50° in the six-dimensional directions, respectively.Conclusions:The OSI system using new SRS algorithm cannot meet the high accuracy requirements of single-center non-coplanar radiotherapy for multiple brain metastasis, especially in the lateral and long directions. It is not recommended for non-coplanar image guidance.

Objective To investigate the value of blood oxygenation level dependent(BOLD)fMRI in assessing the functional changes of the lumbar dorsal extensor muscles before and after exercise in healthy young people.Methods The changes of the R2*value of lumbar dorsal extensor group in 30 healthy young volunteers(15 males and 15 females)before and after exercise was prospectively studied.BOLD-fMRI scans were performed on healthy young volunteers before and after exercise, the exercise mode was to perform the upper body flexion and extension movement with a simple Rome stool.The scanned images were processed and analyzed, the cross-sectional area and R2* value of the lumbar dorsal extensor muscles (including the multifidus,the longissimus and the iliocostalis)were measured at the upper margin of the L3 and L4 vertebral body before and after exercise.The paired t test was used to compare CSA and R2*values of muscles before and after loading. The CSA and R2* value of different muscles in different sides were compared by independent sample t test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relevance between CSA and R2* in muscle before and after exercise. Results After exercise, the R2* values of multifidus,longissimus and iliocostalis at the upper margin of the L4 vertebral body were[(39.2±8.6),(38.9± 7.7),(41.6±7.8)]Hz,significantly lower than before exercise[(46.1±6.9),(45.3±6.2),(46.0±6.7)]Hz(P<0.01);the changes of R2*values of the muscles between the left and right sides before and after the movements were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The R2*values of longissimus and iliocostalis at the upper margin of the L3 vertebral body were[(44.2±9.1),(46.6±9.3)]Hz,significantly lower than before exercise[(48.6±7.2),(49.7± 6.8)]Hz (P<0.01), but the R2* values of multifidus after loading was (43.9 ± 9.0)Hz, there was no statistical difference compared with before exercise (46.8 ± 6.6)Hz (P>0.05);there was a significant difference in the changes of R2*value before and after the movement between the left and right side of iliocostalis(P<0.05).A significant negative correlation between CSA and R2*value was found in the iliocostalis on the right side at the upper margin of L3 vertebral body and in the multifidus on the left side at the upper margin of L4 vertebral body,and the correlation coefficients were (-0.697,-0.616).Conclusion BOLD-fMRI can be a new way to assess the functional changes of the lumbar dorsal extensor group before and after exercise.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between concurrent myocardial bridge at anterior descending branch and the formation of coronary atherosclerosis plaques by using transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG). Methods A total of 198 patients underwent coronary CTA in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medcine from June 2017 to March 2018 and the results showed the anterior descending myocardial bridge. The data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed the coronary CTA with 320?row detector CT. According to the manifestations of myocardial bridge on CTA,the patients were divided into deep and superficial myocardial bridge groups. According to whether the patients were complicated with coronary atherosclerotic plaques, they were divided into isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group. The thickness and length of myocardial bridge, the volume of coronary atherosclerotic plaques at the site of myocardial bridge, the pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values, and the K ratio were recorded. Independent sample t test (normal distribution) or Mann?Whitney U test (skewed distribution) was used to compare the difference of measurement data among different groups. χ2 test was used to compare the difference of enumeration data among different groups. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation among pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values,K ratio,thickness and length of myocardial bridge and plaque volume. The influence of above indexes on plaque occurrence was analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The relationship between main influence indexes and plaque formation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Ninety nine patients had isolated myocardial bridge,99 with myocardial bridge and coronary atherosclerotic plaques,27 with superficial myocardial bridge and 171 with deep myocardial bridge. All atherosclerotic plaques occurred in pre?bridge and the mean volume of plaques was (91.6±83.0)mm3. The differences in sex, age, height, body weight and body mass index werenot statistically significant between isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge TAG value was statistically significant between the isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P<0.05), but not statistically significant in post?bridge TAG value and K ratio (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values and K value was not statistically significant between the superficial group and the deep group (all P>0.05). There was a weak negative correlation (r=-0.205,-0.316,-0.339,respectively,P<0.05) between the plaque volume and pre?bridge&post?bridge TAG values and K ratio. The pre?bridge TAG value significantly affected the plaque formation (P=0.014) and the odds ratio was 0.884 (95% CI 0.801 to 0.976). While other factors had no significant effects on plaque formation (all P>0.05). The area under curveof plaque formation promoted by pre?bridge TAG value was 0.582. When the diagnostic critical value was －37.26 HU/mm, the sensitivity and specificity of pre?bridge TAG value in plaque formation were 31.31% and 81.82%, respectively. Conclusion The TAG value of anterior descending bridge is an independent risk factor for plaque occurrence. The abnormal TAG value of anterior descending myocardial bridge can be detected early by CTA.
