Objective To investigate the predictive value of metabolic syndrome in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods A total of 660 patients with ACS admited to cardiovascular department,first affiliated hospital of zhengzhou university were enrolled in this study from January 2009 to June 2010.The enrollment criteria were:the stenosis degree were above 75% in at least one coronary artery by coronary angiography and successful PCI procedure.Exculsion criteria were:liver and renal insufficiency,malignancies and valvular heart diseases.The relevant clinical data and labtory examination were recorded after admission. The patients were followed up by outpatients interview or telephone from March to June 2011 and adverse cardiovascular events were recorded.The patients were divided into MS and non-MS groups,and basic clinical data were compared between two groups.The proportion difference between two groups were tested by chi square. Multivariate logistic regression was established to analyze the factors related to progonosis.The survival ratio was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Statistical significance was established at a P value of less than 0.05.Results ①A total of 606 (91.7%) patients successfully accepted follow-up.Mean follow-up time were ( 14.3 ±1.7 ) months.95 patients experienced adverse cardiovascular events ( 15.7% ).②There were 393 patients (64.96% ) satisfied the definition of metabolic syndrome.The patients in MS group were with higher BMI,SBP,DBP,blood glucose and disordered lipid (all P < 0.05 ),with less fale patients (P =0.016),less current somking (P =0.008 ) and with higher platelet (P =0.037 ). The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in two groups were 17.81% and 11.79% ( P > 0.05 ). ③ Multivarite logistic regression revealed that the predictors of adverse cardiovascular events were age [ OR =2.628,95% confidence interval (CI) 1.395 ~ 4.954,P =0.003 ],New York Heart Association (NYHA) ≥ 3 grade ( OR =2.310,95% CI 1.095 ~4.870,P =0.028) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ( OR =4.328,95% CI 1.955 ~9.580,P < 0.001 ).However,MS was not related with prognosis ( OR =1.170,95% CI 0.583 ~ 2.345,P =0.659 ).④The cumulative survival rates of no adverse cardiovascular events in the two groups were no significant difference ( P > 0.05 ).Conclusions MS is a risk factor with coronary heart disease.Howerer,it has no relationship with adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ACS after PCI.

Objective:To investigate the value of preoperative MRI measurements of hamstring (semitendinosus+gracilis) tendon cross-sectional area in predicting intraoperative graft diameter for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).Methods:A total of 265 preoperative MRI were retrospectively collected in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University from January 2013 to August 2020 for patients who underwent single-bundle ACLR of hamstring tendon. Patients were divided into a graft diameter≥8 mm group (129 patients) and a graft diameter<8 mm group (136 patients) according to intraoperative graft diameter. The cross-sectional areas of the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons were measured at the largest level of the femoral condyle on preoperative MRI cross-sectional images, and the two were summed to obtain the cross-sectional area of the hamstring tendon. The independent samples t-test was used to compare the differences in the cross-sectional area of each tendon between the graft diameter≥8 mm group and the graft diameter<8 mm group. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between tendon cross-sectional area and intraoperative graft diameter. Multi-factor logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influence of tendon cross-sectional area on intraoperative graft diameter. The effectiveness of intraoperative graft diameter≥8 mm was assessed by plotting the receiver operating characteristic curves. Results:Intraoperative measurement of graft diameter was 7.5 (7.5, 8.0) mm. The cross-sectional area of the popliteal tendon was (21.4±4.6) mm 2 in the graft diameter≥8 mm group and (15.6±3.7) mm 2 in the graft diameter<8 mm group. Statistically significant differences were found in the cross-sectional areas of the semitendinosus, soleus and hamstring tendons between the graft diameter≥8 mm group and graft diameter<8 mm group ( t=-10.26, -10.29, -11.47, P<0.001). Intraoperative graft diameter was positively correlated with the cross-sectional area of the semitendinosus, gracilis, and hamstring, with correlation coefficients of 0.57 ( P<0.001), 0.58 ( P<0.001), and 0.62 ( P<0.001), respectively. Multi-factor logistic regression showed that popliteal tendon cross-sectional area was a predictor of intraoperative graft diameter (OR=1.45, 95%CI 1.32-1.59, P<0.001). The area under the curve for popliteal tendon cross-sectional area to predict intraoperative graft diameter≥8 mm was 0.838 (95%CI 0.792-0.885), with a critical value of 20.0 mm 2, a sensitivity of 0.581, and a specificity of 0.941. Conclusion:The measurement of the cross-sectional area of the hamstring muscle on preoperative MRI can predict the diameter of the autologous hamstring graft of ACLR.
