Objective:To explore the selection of strategies for early reperfusion therapy and its impact on prognosis in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods:The treatment data and 3-year follow-up results of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in 49 hospitals in Hebei Province from January to December 2016 were collected. Patients with STEMI who received either intravenous thrombolytic therapy (ITT) or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) within 12 hours of onset were enrolled. Baseline data, the time from the first diagnosis to the start of reperfusion (FMC2N for ITT patients and FMC2B for PPCI patients), vascular recanalization rate, in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and 3-year mortality were compared between ITT and PPCI groups. The efficacy and prognosis of ITT and PPCI at different starting time of reperfusion (FMC2N≤30 minutes, FMC2N > 30 minutes, FMC2B≤120 minutes, FMC2B > 120 minutes) were analyzed.Results:A total of 1 371 STEMI patients treated with ITT or PPCI were selected, including 300 patients in the ITT group and 1 071 patients in the PPCI group. 1 055 patients were actually followed up (205 patients in the ITT group and 850 patients in the PPCI group), with a rate of 79.4%. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and previous history between the two groups. The time from the first diagnosis to the start of reperfusion in the ITT group was shorter than that in the PPCI group [minutes: 63 (38, 95) vs. 95 (60, 150), U = -9.286, P = 0.000], but was significantly longer than the guideline standard. Compared with the ITT group, the vascular recanalization rate in the PPCI group was higher [95.5% (1 023/1 071) vs. 88.3% (265/300), P < 0.01], and in-hospital mortality was lower [2.1% (22/1 071) vs. 6.7% (20/300), P < 0.01], but there were no significant differences in the 1-year mortality and 3-year mortality [5.3% (45/850) vs. 4.4% (9/205), 9.5% (81/850) vs. 9.3% (19/205), both P > 0.05]. Between ITT group and PPCI group with different reperfusion starting time, the FMC2N > 30 minutes group had the lowest vascular recanalization rate and the highest in-hospital mortality. Pairwise comparison showed that the vascular recanalization rate of the FMC2B ≤ 120 minutes group and the FMC2B > 120 minutes group were significantly higher than those of the FMC2N > 30 minutes group [95.5% (654/685), 95.6% (369/386) vs. 88.0% (220/250), both P < 0.008], the in-hospital mortality was significantly lower than that of the FMC2N > 30 minutes group [2.0% (14/685), 2.1% (8/386) vs. 7.6% (19/250), both P < 0.008]. There was no significant difference in 1-year mortality (χ 2 = 2.507, P = 0.443) and 3-year mortality (χ 2 = 2.204, P = 0.522) among the four groups. Conclusions:For STEMI patients within 12 hours of onset, reperfusion therapy should be performed as soon as possible. PPCI showed higher infarct related artery opening rate and lower in-hospital mortality compared with ITT, and had no effect on 1-year and 3-year mortality.

Objective To explore the action mechanism of tauroursodeoxycholic acid(TUDCA)promoting intracellular clearance of Burkholderia pseudomallei(B.pseudomallei)in RAW264.7 macrophages.Methods After TUDCA of different concentrations were used to treat RAW264.7 cells pre-infected with B.pseudomallei for 8 h or not,flow cytometry was applied to detect the apoptosis of the infected and control cells.In addition,another endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)inhibitor 4-PBA was used to detect the apoptosis and proliferation of host cells after B.pseudomallei infection with Annexin-V/PI double staining and MTT cell proliferation assay.Furthermore,after transfected with CHOP siRNA,Western blotting and flow cytometry were employed to detect the effect of TUDCA on the expression levels of Caspase-3 and Caspase-12 and the changes in apoptotic rate after B.pseudomallei infection,respectively.Finally,the effect of TUDCA on intracellular multiplication of infected RAW264.7 cells were observed to estimate the CFU value in the presence and absence of CHOP siRNA.Results Under different concentrations of TUDCA,100 or 200 μmol/L TUDCA significantly reduced B.pseudomallei-induced apoptosis in RAW264.7 cells(P＜0.05).Meanwhile,both TUDCA and 4-PBA treatment could decrease the apoptosis induced by B.pseudomallei infection by ERS(P＜0.05).Further,the expression levels of Caspase-3 and Caspase-12 were obviously increased after B.pseudomallei infection compared with uninfected groups,but their expression levels in the siCHOP group was significantly lower than that in the siC group.Besides,flow cytometry also showed that TUDCA could reduce apoptosis induced by B.pseudomallei infection(P＜0.05),but no significant effect of TUDCA on apoptosis was observed under CHOP knockdown.Finally,intracellular CFU assay indicated that TUDCA treatment promoted the host cell clearance of B.pseudomallei(P＜0.05),but no such effect was observed in siCHOP group.Conclusion In B.pseudomallei infected RAW264.7 cells,TUDCA promotes the intracellular clearance of the bacteria by inhibiting ERS-induced apoptosis.
