Objective:To explore the prognostic value of CysC and NT‐proBNP in patients with non‐ST elevation a‐cute coronary syndrome (NSTE‐ACS) .Methods :A total of 166 NSTE‐ACS patients hospitalized in our hospital from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012 were selected .They were followed up for 12 months ,then general data ,levels of CysC , NT‐proBNP ,hsCRP and cTnI etc .and incidence rate of MACE were recorded and measured .According to MACE occurrence during follow‐up or not ,156 cases were divided into non‐MACE group (n=137) and MACE group (n=19) ,risk factors for MACE in NSTE‐ACS patients were analyzed ,receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) was performed ,and the optimal cutoffs of related indexes predicting MACE occurrence in these patients were analyzed . Results :Compared with non‐MACE group ,there were significant rise in age [ (60.26 ± 10.45) years vs .(64.16 ± 11.21) years] ,levels of CysC [ (1.02 ± 0.11) mg/L vs .(1.15 ± 0.12) mg/L] ,NT‐proBNP [ (251.97 ± 89.65) pg/ml vs .(347.93 ± 107.29) pg/ml] ,hsCRP [ (14.69 ± 3.53) mg/L vs .(17.13 ± 3.68) mg/L] and cTnI [ (0.36 ± 0.46) ng/ml vs .(0.90 ± 0.88) ng/ml] in MACE group ,P<0.05 or <0.01. Multi‐factor regression analysis indica‐ted that CysC ,NT‐proBNP and cTnI levels were independent predictors for MACE in NSTE‐ACS patients ( P<0.05 or <0.01) .ROC curves of CysC ,NT‐proBNP ,cTnI and hsCRP judging prognosis were drawn , only AUC of CysC and NT‐proBNP curves were >0.7 [CysC:0.784 ,95% CI:0.687~0.881 ;NT‐proBNP:0.753 ,95% CI :0.639~0.867] , and it′s analysis indicated that CysC=1.07 mg/L and NT‐proBNP=279.60 pg/ml were their optimal cutoff predicting MACE .Kaplan‐Meier survival curves with above two cutoffs as risk stratification cutoff indicated that survival time of high risk group was significantly shorter than that of low risk group (P<0.05) .Conclusion:Serum CysC and NT‐proBNP levels are independent predictors assessing prognosis in NSTE‐ACS patients .

Objective     To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transthoracic minimally invasive occlusion operation for the treatment of congenital atrial and ventricular septal defects. Methods     The clinical data of 88 patients who underwent surgical occlusion operation from December 2015 to February 2017 were summarized. There were 52 males and 36 females, aged 6.8±7.5 years ranging from 1.6 to 24.0 years. All the patients were followed up by ultrasound and electrocardiogram at postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months. The efficacy of minimally invasive thoracotomy was analyzed by statistical methods. Results     The patients were followed up for 3-15 (6.8±2.3) months, and the follow-up rate was 92.0%. Ultrasound showed occluder fixed well and no residual shunt, valve regurgitation, thrombosis or other complications occurred. The heart was reduced, the ejection fraction was greater than 55%, and heart function rating for all patients was grade Ⅰ. Conclusion     Transthoracic mini-invasive surgical occlusion of atrial and ventricular septal defects is safe and effective. The short and middle-term effect is satisfying. It can be widely used in clinical, but multi-center and long-term follow-up and assessment still need to be carried out.
