Objective To evaluate the effects(mortality, amputation rate, the length and expense of hospital stay, etc)of the obstructing blood flow interventional embolectomy and simple interventional embolectomy for acute lower limb arterial embolism. Methods 79 cases of acute lower limb arterial embolism including 23 cases of two sites puncturing and obstructing blood flow interventional embolectomy and 56 cases treated by simple interventional embolectomy were retrospeetively analyzed and compared. Results Embolisms were removed in all 79 cases and arteries were reopened successfully. The mortality and the amputation rates of the simple and the obstructing blood flow embolectomies were 5.36%,19.6%, and 4.35%, 8.70% respectively. Conclusion Two sites puncturing and obstructing blood flow interventional embolectomy for acute lower limb arterial embolism is simple, safe and effective, comparing with the simple interventional embolectomy, with lower amputation rate, quicker recovery and lower expense, however with no statistical significance in mortalities.

Objective : To analyze the screening results of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and HIV co-infections in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2020, so as to provide insights into improving the tuberculosis control strategy. Methods : Data pertaining to HIV antibody testing among tuberculosis patients, MTB testing among HIV/AIDS patients, treatment of patients with MTB and HIV co-infections and prognosis of anti-tuberculosis therapy were collected from the annual working reports for the management of MTB and HIV co-infections in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2020, and the screening, treatment and prognosis of MTB and HIV co-infections were analyzed. Results : A total of 35 385 newly identified tuberculosis patients were reported in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2020, and there were 5 854 cases receiving HIV testing. The annual mean percentage of HIV screening was 17.57%, and the HIV screening rate appeared a tendency towards a rise in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2020 (χ2trend=4 926.309, P<0.001). Eleven patients were tested positive for HIV, with an annual mean HIV positive rate of 0.19%. A total of 26 043 HIV/AIDS patients received MTB screening, with an annual mean screening rate of 95.78%, and the annual screening rate of MTB appeared a tendency towards a rise in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2020 (χ2trend=79.077, P<0.001). A total of 81 tuberculosis patients were detected, with an annual mean detection rate of 0.31%. Among the 92 patients with MTB and HIV co-infections, there were 81 patients receiving anti-tuberculosis and antiviral therapy simultaneously (88.04%), 8 cases receiving anti-tuberculosis therapy alone (8.70%), 2 cases receiving antiviral therapy alone (2.17%) and 1 case without therapy (1.09%). Among the 89 MTB and HIV co-infected patients receiving anti-tuberculosis therapy, 27 cases were cured (30.34%), 53 cases completing the course of treatment (59.55%) and 7 cases died. Conclusions The MTB screening rate among HIV/AIDS patients and the percentage of MTB and HIV co-infected patients with successful anti-tuberculosis treatment were high in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2020; however, the HIV screening rate should be improved among tuberculosis patients.

Objective To assess value of serum level of ischemia modified albumin (IMA) in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Seventy-two patients with clinically suspected myocardial ischemia of CAD admitted to The First People's Hospital of Hangzhou during November 2009 to May 2010 ready for undergoing coronary angiography, the gold standard for diagnosis of CAD, were randomly selected for the study. The patients were divided into CAD and non-CAD groups based on their coronary angiography. Serum level of IMA was determined with cobalt-albumin binding ( ACB) assay before coronary angiography, which served as diagnostic standard for CAD. Logistic regression analysis method was used to evaluate varied levels of IMA with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC) in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of CAD. Results Mean level of IMA was (97 ±24) U/ml and (81 ±15) U/ml for CAD group (n =51) and non-CAD group (n =21), respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of a cut-off value of IMA 83.69 U/ml in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of CAD was 80 percent and 57 percent, respectively, with a predictive value of a positive test 82 percent and that of a negative test 55 percent, respectively, from AUCROC. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that both hypertension (P=0. 022, 6 = 1.421, OR=4. 141) and level of IMA (P=0.003, b= 1.780, OR=5.928) were independent predictors for CAD. Conclusions Sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of a positive test of the level of IMA are relatively high in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of CAD, which is an independent predictor of it.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture(EA)in improving the reconstruction of synapse after cerebral ischemia.Methods Forty-five Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups:sham-operated group,ischemia group and EA group.The number density(Nv)of synapses and the surface density(Sv)of synaptic joint band were observed 1 hour,1 day,3 days,1 week and 3 weeks after ischemia and EA, respectively.Heat-coagulation-induced occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was performed to establish the model of focal cerebral ischemia.EA group received EA on the acupoints of Baihui and Dazhui.The changes of synaptie structure,Nv and Sv as well as the influence of EA on the above indexes were observed in different time.Results There existed significant decrease of Nv and Sv 1 hour,1 day and 3 days after establishment of models in the isehemia group(P0.05).Conclusion EA can reduce the cerebral ischemic injury by increasing the synaptic amount and area in the cortex of rat model of cerebral isehemia at early stage,promoting the cerebral recovery after ischemia,which will provide substantial morphological basis for the improvement of synaptic reconstruction and recovery from cerebral isehemia by EA at different time after ischemic cerebral injury.

Objective To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of domestic Firebird rapamycin-eluting stent in treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods The 465 patients with CAD received percutaneous interventional therapy with domestic Firebird or imported Cypher rapamycin-eluting stent based on patients' will and they were followed up for more than 24 months. Results The 321 cases in Firebird group were followed up for (45.3 ±11.1)months, with 166 cases (51.7%) received reexamination by coronary angiography. The 144 patients in Cypher group were followed up for (46.1 ± 12. 1) months, with 82 patients (56.3%) received reexamination by coronary angiography. At the termination of follow-up, there were no significant differences in all-cause death (7.8% vs. 7.6 %, x2 = 1.32, P = 0. 250), cardiac death (5.9% vs.5.6%, x2 =0. 02, P=0. 877), acute myocardial infarction (2.8% vs. 3.4%, x2 =0. 15, P=0. 697),cardiovascular-cause rehospitalization (29.6% vs. 31.9 %, x2 =0.26, P=0. 610), acute and subacute thrombosis events (0.9% vs. 1.3%, x2 =0.19, P=0.661), late thrombotic events (1.2% vs.1.3%, x2 =0. 02, P=0. 900) and target lesion revascularization (3.4% vs. 4.2%, x2 =0. 15, P=0. 694) between two groups. Conclusions Domestic Firebird rapamycin-eluting stent has the same or similar long-term safety and efficacy with imported Cypher rapamycin-eluting stent.

Objective Atherosclerosis is widely accepted as a chronic inflammatory disease. Serum biomarkers for vulnerable plaques not only serve as diagnostic tools for the identification of patients with acute coro-nary syndrome, but also assist the identification of high-risk patients. However, the existing data are limited and conflicting. In the present study, we determined whether the plasma levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) are correlated with adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with ST-evaluate acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) undergoing pri-mary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Effect of the plasma intedeukin-1β level on prognosis of patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Method This prospective single-center study included 96 patients with SIEAMI with onset < 12 h who underwent primary PCI, 271 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and 148 control subjects without coronary artery disease who were consecutively admitted to hospital be-tween Mar, 2006 and Mar, 2008. Plasma IL-1β levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in all subjects. The patients with STEAMI were then followed prospectively for the occurrence of major adverse car-diac events (MACE) (including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, heart failure, and cardio-genie shock) during hospitalization. We determined the association between IL-1β levels with the risk of MACE using multivariate logistic regression. Results Compared with the SAP patients and control subjects, patients with STEAMI had higher levels of IL-1β (P < 0.05). During hospitalization, 32 patients (33.3%) experienced MACE [23 males, 9 females; age: (75.44±13.45) years]. In the STEAMI patients, IL-1β was elevated in patients with MACE compared with patients without MACE (median [range]: 26.52 [12.010 to 155.244] pg/mL vs 2.157 [0.433 to 83.021] pg/mL; P < 0.01) by non-parameter analysis. Significant and positive correlations be-tween IL-1β and cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) (r = 0.353, P =0.004) were observed by Spearman's correlations analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that IL-1β levels ≥20 pg/mL were significantly and in-dependently associated with MACE during hospitalization (odds ratio: 32.05; 95% confidence interval: 4.28 to 240.151; P =0.001). Conclusions The present study revealed that patients with STEAMI had elevated IL-1β levels on admission. The plasma IL- 1β level is an independent inflammatory predictor for in-hospital MACE in pa-tients with STEAMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
