Objectives:We aimed to compare the impact of dissection and re-entry(DR)recanalizing pattern with non-DR on the in-hospital results and prognostic outcomes of patients treated successfully by percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)of chronic total occlusion(CTO)and examine the benefit of DR in CTO PCI. Methods:A total of 815 consecutive patients with CTO meeting the inclusion criteria in the Department of Cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA Air Force Military Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled and divided into DR group(n=239)and non-DR group(n=576)according to whether DR recanalizing pattern was used in the procedure.The clinical characteristics,coronary angiographic characteristics,procedure results,and complications were collected,and the prognostic outcomes within one year after the procedure were observed.Propensity score matching by the clinical and coronary angiographic characteristics was performed and results were compared with 208 matched patients in each group.The endpoints were the major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)consisting of all-cause death and myocardial infarction,clinically driven target vessel revascularization(TVR)one year after the procedure,and in-hospital outcomes. Results:The mean age of all patients was(60.9±10.9)years old,and 87.4%were male.As compared with the non-DR group,the proportion of blunt cap,ambiguous,calcification,angle＞45°,and diseased landing zone,as well as mean J-CTO score was higher in the DR group(all P＜0.05).The mean stent length and median procedure time were longer in the DR group,median guidewires and consumed contrast volume was also higher in the DR group(all P＜0.001).Incidence of in-hospital death,myocardial infarction,perforation,side branch loss,bleeding of BARC 3rd grade and above,and contrast-related impairment of renal function were similar between the two groups(all P＞0.05).However,peripheral vascular complications occurred more frequently in the DR group(P=0.007).One year after the procedure,the incidence of MACE(2.9%vs.2.4%,log-rank P=0.750)and clinically driven TVR(5.8%vs.3.9%,log-rank P=0.365)as well as all-cause death(2.9%vs.1.0%,log-rank P=0.154)and myocardial infarction(0.5%vs.1.9%,log-rank P=0.184)were similar between the two matched groups.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed no significant association between DR and MACE(HR=1.129,95%CI:0.427-2.979,P=0.807)and TVR(HR=0.606,95%CI:0.213-1.722,P=0.347).LVEF≤40%(HR=2.775,95%CI:1.137-6.774,P=0.025)and elevated residual SYNTAX score(HR=1.089,95%CI:1.032-1.150,P=0.002)were risk factors for MACE,and diseased landing zone(HR=2.144,95%CI:1.019-4.513,P=0.045),rescued ADR(HR=3.479,95%CI:1.109-10.919,P=0.033),and prolonged procedure time(HR=1.007,95%CI:1.002-1.013,P=0.007)were risk factors for TVR. Conclusions:CTO lesion recanalized with PCI utilizing DR operation pattern was associated with more complex characteristics,more devices and time consumed,and longer stent length,while no significant association was observed between DR operation pattern and MACE and TVR one year after the procedure,as well as in-hospital complication..

Objective: Through screening the serum TSH in rural pregestational women, fo find out the high incidence area and high risk population of thyroid disease in Yunnan province, to reduce the probability of infertility and abnormal pregnancy and provide important reference basis for prenatal aristogenesis. Methods: The serum TSH level of 30 163 rural pregestational women(20-49 yeas old) which from 16 different areas and 16 different ethnicities of Yunnan province was detected by using TSH3-Ultra (TSH3-UL) reagent on a Siemens centar-XP automatic chemiluminescence apparatus. Results: 1 797 women were found with abnormal serum TSH level, the abnormal rate was 5.96%. Among them, the proportion of women with decreased TSH was 3.09% and increased TSH was 2.87%, compared with the normal reference range. And there was a significant difference of abnormal serum TSH rate between pregestational women from different areas and ethnicities. Moreover, in the 16 tested areas, the highest abnormal serum TSH rate was 8.90% from Ximeng county, the lowest was 3.60% from Diqing state. However in the 16 tested ethnicities, the highest abnormal serum TSH rate was 9.73% from Lisu ethnic minority and the lowest was 3.60% from Tibetan ethnic minority. Conclusions The results inferred that ethnic and regional factors both to some extent affect the prevalence of thyroid disease in pregestational women and it is a small probability event that high occurrence of TSH decreased or increased situation simultaneously happened in one area or one ethnicity.
