Objective To investigate method of in vitro measurement of adult Chinese scapula glenoid version angle with MSCT postprocessing technique. Methods Fifty dry scapula specimens and 50 wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens of adult Chinese were scanned with Siemens Somatom Sensation 16 scanner. The scapula glenoid version angle was measured with postprocessing technique of thick or thin multiplanner reformation (MPR), and the data were analyzed statistically. Results The scapula glenoid version angle of dry scapula specimens and wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens was (-0.40±4.10)°, (-3.00±4.49)° with thick MPR, and (-0.34±4.21)°, (-2.70±4.54)° measured with thin MPR, respectively. There was significant difference of the scapula glenoid version angles between the dry scapula specimens and wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens (P<0.05), but not between thick or thin MPR measurement(P>0.05). Conclusion Measuring the scapula glenoid version angle with thick MPR of MSCT is simple and fast. The scapula glenoid version angle is markedly variable between the dry scapula specimens and wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens. The retroversion angle of scapula glenoid is about 3°, which should be considered in the design of shoulder prosthesis.

[Objective]To evaluate the effect of transepicondylar axis of different position on volume rendering technique measuring the humeral head retroversion angle with multi slice spiral CT.[Method]Fifty-one dry humerus specimens were scanned with 16 slice spiral CT scanner,At top view the three-group humeral head retroversion angle decided by the transepicondylar axis of different position were measured by volume rendering technique,As to two-dimension CT method,the distal reference axis of the humeral head retroversion angle was defined by three sections of different levels,the total six-group data on humeral head retroversion angle were analyzed by Statistics.[Result]The humeral head retroversion angle ranged from 4? to 59.8?,the humeral head retroversion angle of six groups were(25.5?10.2)?,(25.0?10.8)?,(25.7?10.8)?,(27.3?10.3)?,(26.3?10.2)?,(25.8?10.4)? respectively.The Statistics showed that the results have no significant difference among them.The more distal the humerus was,the smaller humeral head retroversion angle defined by a line between the epicondyles on two-dimension CT method was.[Conclusion]The humeral head retroversion angle is markedly variable,the humeral head retroversion angle of shoulder joint prosthetic design should be individual.The transepicondylar axis of different position has no effect on volume rendering technique measuring the humeral head retroversion angle with multi slice spiral CT.The top view at which lateral epicondyle of the humerus showing mini-triangulum and the anterior surface of the distal humerus articulation with the forearm being shaded is more simple,faster and precise for the volume rendering technique measuring the humeral head retroversion angle with multi slice spiral CT.

Objective: To explore aspirin resistance (AR) phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) for secondary prevention and to study the relationships between AR and COX1, COX2, TBXA2R gene polymorphisms. Methods: A total of 2881 CAD patients taken aspirin (100 mg/day) in 7 consecutive days were enrolled. Among them, 2 groups were established as AR group, n=166 and Control group, n=200 aspirin sensitive patients. Platelet aggregation function was induced by arachidonic acid (AA), COX1, COX2 and TBXA2R gene polymorphisms were examined by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: The occurrence rate of AR was 5.76% (166/2881). There were 8 tagSNPs locus in 3 genes as in COX1:(rs3842788), (rs4273915), (rs7866582); in: COX2 (rs3218625); in TBXA2R: (rs2238630), (rs2238631), (rs2238633), (rs3786989). The frequencies of wild type, heterozygous genotype and homozygous genotype were similar between 2 groups. Conclusion: The incidence rate of AR is not high in CHD patients with regular aspirin medication; single nucleotide gene polymorphisms of COX1, COX2 and TBXA2R have no obvious correlation to AR.

Objective:To explore the main causes of 50 children with aplastic anemia misdiagnosed as immune thrombocytopenia(ITP), summarize differential diagnosis experience, and provide clinical reference.Methods:According to the diagnostic criteria of aplastic anemia and ITP in children, the initial data of misdiagnosed cases in other hospital admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Shanghai Tongji Hospital from January 2007 to December 2020, and the results of their re-examination tests in this hospital were analyzed.The causes of misdiagnosis and the main points of differential diagnosis were summarized.Results:Of the 165 children with aplastic anemia treated in the same period, 50 cases (30.3%) had been misdiagnosed as ITP.The main causes of misdiagnosis were summarized as follows.(1) The clinical manifestations in 22 cases disagreed with " typical symptoms of ITP" , and necessary bone marrow examinations were not performed in accordance with the international guidelines to confirm the diagnosis.(2) The bone marrow test results were interpreted falsely.Among 28 patients who underwent the bone marrow smear examination, 6 cases (21%) showed typical aplastic bone marrow, but they were still misdiagnosed with ITP.(3) Patients (15/28 cases, 54%) with atypical bone marrow smears did not receive further bone marrow biopsy to facilitate the diagnosis.(4) In 7 cases (7/28 cases, 25%), their bone marrow examination results met the diagnostic criteria of ITP at initial diagnosis, but no necessary review was performed to verify and correct the diagnosis after glucocorticoid trea-tment failed.Conclusions:Clinical diagnosis should be made in restrict accordance with related disease diagnostic criteria to avoid empirical errors.Diagnosis of ITP requires caution.Especially for those with atypical clinical manifestations or irresponsive to first-line drugs, bone marrow examinations (bone marrow biopsy if necessary) must be performed, and the test results should be correctly interpreted according to the diagnostic criteria to prevent clinical misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.

Background and Objectives: This study investigated the relative incidence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) and long-term outcomes between iso-osmolar contrast media (IOCM) and low-osmolar contrast media (LOCM) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 9,431 patients receiving elective PCI were enrolled in the cohort. The patients were divided into IOCM group and LOCM group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to minimize the selection bias between groups. Results: The multivariate analysis showed that the use of IOCM compared with LOCM did not affect the CIN incidence (odds ratio [OR], 0.912; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.576–1.446; p=0.696). After PSM, the incidence of CIN was 1.5% and 4.0% in IOCM group (n=979) and LOCM group (n=979), respectively, p=0.001. IOCM significantly reduced the incidence of CIN compared with LOCM (OR, 0.393; 95% CI, 0.214–0.722; p=0.003). After 2 years of follow-up, the all-cause mortality was higher in IOCM group than LOCM group (2.1% vs. 0.9%, p<0.001). Cox regression analysis showed IOCM was not independent risk factor of 2-years all-cause mortality (OR, 0.849; 95% CI, 0.510–1.412; p=0.528). After PSM, the difference of all-cause death between groups disappeared (1.7% vs. 1.9%, p=0.739). Cox regression analysis showed that the use of IOCM compared with LOCM did not affect the incidence of 2-year all-cause mortality (OR, 1.037; 95% CI, 0.534–2.014; p=0.915). Conclusions Compared with LOCM, IOCM significantly reduced the incidence of CIN after elective PCI, but had no significant effect on 2-year all-cause mortality.

Objective: To investigate the impact of coronary lesion calcification on the long-term outcome of patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: In this prospective observational study, a total of 10 119 consecutive patients with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention from January 1 to December 31, 2 103 in our hospital were enrolled. The patients were divided into non/mild calcification group (8 268 cases) and moderate/severe calcification group (1 851 cases) according to the angiographic results. The primary endpoint was one-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization. Results: The patients were (58.3±10.3) years old, and there were 2 355 females (23.3%). Compared with non/mild calcification group, patients in the moderate/severe calcification group were older ((60.0±10.6) years vs. (57.9±10.2) years, P<0.01), and had higher proportion of female (25.4% (470/1 851) vs. 22.8% (1 885/8 268), P=0.02), debates (33.9% (628/1 851) vs. 29.0% (2 399/8 268), P<0.01), hypertension (68.0% (1 259/1 851) vs. 63.7% (5 264/8 268), P<0.01), coronary artery bypass grafting (4.6% (85/1 851) vs. 3.2% (268/8 268), P<0.01), stroke (12.6% (233/1 851) vs. 10.4% (861/8 268), P=0.01), and renal dysfunction (6.2% (115/1 851) vs. 3.7% (303/8 268), P<0.01). Compared with non/mild calcification group, patients in themoderate/severe calcification group experienced longer procedure time (37 (24, 61) min vs. 27 (17,40) min, P<0.01) and stent length was longer (32 (23,48) mm vs. 27 (18,38) mm, P<0.01), and percent of rotational atherectomy was higher (2.56%(57/2 229) vs. 0.03% (3/11 930), P<0.01). One-year follow-up results showed that MACE (7.5% (139/1 846) vs. 4.9% (402/8 243), P<0.01), all-cause death (1.0% (19/1 846) vs. 0.6% (49/8 243), P=0.04), myocardial infarction (2.2% (41/1 846) vs. 1.4% (114/8 243), P=0.01), and target vessel revascularization (5.0% (92/1 846) vs. 3.2% (266/8 243), P<0.01) were all significantly higher in moderate/severe calcification group than in non/mild group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that moderate/severe calcification was an independent predictor of MACE at one-year after the procedure (HR=1.41, 95%CI 1.16-1.72, P<0.01). Conclusion Moderate/severe calcification in coronary lesion is an independent predictor of long-term poor prognosis in coronary heart disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: Patients with acute coronary syndrome due to multivessel disease (MVD) were at the highest risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was proposed as a marker of cardiovascular risk. Present study evaluated the independent predictive value of NLR for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with MVD. Methods: AMI patients with MVD (n=1 433) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between January 2013 and December 2013 were followed up for 2 years. Patients were divided into 2 sub-groups based on an optimal cut off value of NLR to predict 2-year all-cause mortality. The primary endpoint was all-cause death. The secondary endpoint was long-term major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Results: By receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, the optimal cut-off value of admission NLR to predict 2-year all-cause mortality was 3.39 (area under the curve 0.765, sensitivity 71%, specificity 73%). The high NLR group(n=396) had higher prevalence of prior myocardial infarction, prior PCI and intra-aortic balloon pump use (IABP)(P<0.01). Compared to the low NLR group (n=1 037), patients in the high NLR group were older, had higher level of neutrophil count and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P<0.001), but lower level of lymphocyte count, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and ejection fraction (P<0.001). During the follow-up period, rate of long-term all-cause death was significantly higher in the high NLR group than in the low NLR group (5.1% (20/396) vs. 0.8% (8/1 037), P<0.001). Cardiac death (4.0% (16/396) vs. 0.7% (7/1 037), P<0.001) and MACCE (21.7% (86/396) vs. 12.6% (131/1 037), P<0.001) were also significantly higher in the high NLR group than in the low NLR group. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that NLR ≥ 3.39 was determined as an independent predictor of 2-year all-cause mortality (HR=3.23, 95%CI 1.38-7.54, P=0.007) and MACCE (HR=1.58, 95%CI 1.19-2.10, P=0.002) in this patient cohort after adjusting for other risk factors. Correlation analysis showed that the NLR was positively correlated with hs-CRP levels (r=0.241, P<0.001). Conclusion Our study demonstrates that admission NLR ≥ 3.39 is an independent predictor of long term all cause death and MACCE in AMI patients with MVD post PCI.
