Objective The prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is related to age,comorbidities,and other factors,in which non-thyroid sick syndrome (NTIS) may also be an important factor.In this study,determination of blood free triiodothyronine (FT3) was used to explore the short-term and long-term mortality relationship of NTIS with acute myocardial infarction.Methods A total of 1 019 cases of newly diagnosed patients with acute myocardial infarction were enrolled.According to FT3 levels,the enlisted subjects were divided into Quartile 1-4 groups; survival group and non-survival group; normal thyroid function and NTIS group.The enrolled subjects were followed-up for 6-90 months,with the median follow-up time of 44.5 months.Using logistic regression and Cox hazards model,the relationships of short-term and long-term mortality in AMI with NTIS or FT3 were compared.Results The incidence of NTIS in patients with AMI was 27.78%.With the progressively decreasing FT3 and FT3/FT4 ratio,the mortality rates were progressively increased (Quartile 1 group 9.4%,Quartile 2 group 13.8%,Quartile 3 group 14.3%,Quartile 4 group 34.0%,P<0.01).After being adjusted,FT3 was the strongest influencing factor of mortality within 30 days (RR =0.212,95% CI 0.125-0.359).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that FT3 was independently associated with long-term mortality (RR =0.674,95% CI 0.514-0.885).Kaplan-Meier showed significant difference in mortality between quartile 1-3 groups and the Quartile 4 group.Even FT3 level was within the low normal range,it was related with the mortality in AMI.Conclusions NTIS is common in patients with AMI.After being adjusted,FT3 was the strongest predictor of mortality within 30 days,and low FT3level in AMI patients was an independent risk factor for long-term all-cause mortality.Even FT3 level was within the normal range,it was still related with mortality in myocardial infarction.

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a common primary brain injury.The main mechanism of DAI is the relative displacement of brain tissue junction caused by shearing force during cranial rotation.The pathological changes are the deformation and rupture of white matter nerve fiber bundles.The mechanism of injury and recovery is still unclear,and unified diagnostic criteria are also lacking.Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphisms are associated with nervous system development,injury,and repair process.The APOE gene contains six genotypes by the combination among three genes and synthesizes three proteins including apoE2,apoE3 and apoE4.The abnormal spatial structure of apoE4 decreases its ability of transporting lipids,resulting in reduced repair ability after nerve injury.The molecular mechanism of ApoE in the development of axonal injury is complicated.apoE protein can bind to receptor proteins such as low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1) and heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) to mediate axonal repair,and it can also damage nerves by influencing calcium influx and producing toxic fragments through hydrolysis.Correcting the abnormal structure of apoE4 is helpful to nerve repair,and apoE analogues also have certain neuroprotective effects.This article reviews the injury characteristics,pathological characteristics,APOE gene polymorphisms,and the role of apoE synthesis in DAI,to provide new insights for elucidation of mechanism of DAI and related clinical application.
