ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of CTCA in predicting myocardial perfusion defects through comparative analysis between MPI defects and severity of coronary stenosis on CTCA.MethodsFour hundred and seventy-eight patients who underwent CTCA and 99Tcm-MIBI MPI in the same period were analyzed retrospectively.According to the severity of coronary stenosis judged by visual evaluation of the vessel diameter,the patients were divided into five groups:no stenosis,mild stenosis,moderate stenosis,severe stenosis and total occlusion.MPI results were classified as negative or positive for perfusion defects,and the prevalence of perfusion defects in every group was calculated per-patient and per-vessel basis.The cut-off of stenotic severity for predicting myocardial perfusion defects was designated as 50% or 75%,with MPI as standard reference.True positive,true negative,false positive and false negative statistics were thus determined separately on patient and vessel basis.The diagnostic performance for CTCA were calculated and compared.Pearson Chi-square and its partition tests or Fisher exact test were used to compare ordinal variables.ResultsFifty-eight patients showed myocardial perfusion defects.Either by patientbased or vessel-based analysis,the prevalence of myocardial perfusion defects showed an increasing trend with greater coronary artery stenosis in each group,and there were statistical differences among them (x2 =116.62 and 483.83,both P < 0.05).On patient-based analysis,sensitivity ( SN),specificity ( SP),positive predictive value( PPV),negative predictive value(NPV) and accuracy (AC) for CTCA predicting myocardial perfusion defects were 62.1 % ( 36/58 ) and 34.5% ( 20/58 ) (x2 =8.84,P < 0.05 ),84.5%(355/420) and 97.1% (408/420) (x2 =40.16,P <0.05),35.6% (30/101) and 62.5% (20/32) (x2 =7.19,P<0.05),94.2% (355/377) and 91.5% (408/446) (x2 =2.18,P >0.05),81.8% (391/478)and 89.5 % (428/478) (x2 =11.66,P < 0.05 ) when the cutoff was set to 50% and 75%,respectively.On vessel-based analysis,the SN,SP,PPV,NPV and AC for CTCA predicting myocardial perfusion defects were 58.8% (40/68) and 30.9% (21/68) (x2 =10.73,P < 0.05),95.9% (1768/1844) and 99.0% (1826/1844) (x2 =36.72,P < 0.05 ),34.5% (40/116) and 53.8% (21/39) (x2 =4.59,P <0.05 ),98.4% (1768/1796) and 97.5% ( 1826/1873 ) (x2 =4.14,P < 0.05 ),94.6% ( 1808/1912 ) and 96.6% ( 1847/1912 ) (x2 =10.31,P < 0.05 ),respectively.ConclusionsThe prevalence of myocardial perfusion defects correlates positively with the severity of coronary stenosis seen on CTCA.CTCA may predict perfusion defects with high SP and NPV.However,the PPV of CTCA in predicting myocardial perfusion defects is poor when the stenosis cut-off is set at 50%.It is significantly improved when the cutoff value is set at 75 %.

AIM: To construct a lentiviral vector harboring RNAi sequence targeting human annexin A2 (ANX A2) and to investigate the functions of ANX A2 in antiphospholipid antibody (APL)-induced tissue factor (TF) expression in monocytes. METHODS: Four different short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) targeting ANX A2 gene were constructed and cloned into the pGCSIL-GFP vector. After identification with PCR and sequencing, the effective interference sequence was further determined by Western blotting analysis. The recombinant lentivirus LV-RNAi-ANX A2 harvested from 293T cells was transferred into THP-1 cells and the ANX A2 mRNA and protein expression on THP-1 cells were examined. The transferred-THP-1 cells were stimulated by APL/β_2GPI compound, and the TF mRNA and TF activity was assayed. RESULTS: The RNAi sequences targeting the human ANX A2 gene were successfully inserted into the lentiviral vector and the high-performance RNA interference sequence was sieved out. The recombinant lentivirus was harvested from 293T cells with a viral titer of 3×10~(12) TU/L. THP-1 cells infected with LV-RNAi-ANX A2 showed almost lockout of ANX A2 both at mRNA and protein levels. The TF expression was also significantly decreased in the transferred-THP-1 cells induced by APL/β_2GPI compound. CONCLUSION: The lentiviral vector constructed in the present study blocks the ANX A2 expression in THP-1 cells and further inhibits the TF expression induced by APL/β_2GPI compound, which indicates that ANX A2 do play an important role in APL-induced TF expression on monocytes.

Abstract: Objective By analyzing the frequency distribution of antihypertensive drug-related genotypes in hypertensionpatients treated in our hospital, so as to provide a clinical basis for individualized treatment of hypertension patients. Methods A total of 72 hypertensive patients treated in Hainan Hospital of PLA General Hospital from June 2021 to April 2022 were collected. PCR-melting curve method was used to detect CYP2D6*10 (c.100 C>T), CYP2C9*3 (c.1075 A>C), ADRB1 (c.1165 G>C), AGTR1 (c.1166 A>C), ACE (I/D), NPPA (T2238C) and CYP3A5*3 (A6986G), and the relationship between different genotypes and biochemical indexes was analyzed. Results According to the statistics of the gene and genotype frequency of each point in 72 patients, the gene frequencies of 7 sites all conformed to Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. There were gender differences in ADRB1 genotypes (χ2 = 5.878, P<0.05). There were statistical differences in triglycerides [AA: 1.4 (1.0, 2.0)mmol/L; AC: 2.2 (1.5, 2.5)mmol/L; P=0.038], total cholesterol [AA: 4.0 (3.1, 4.9) mmol/L; AC: 4.8 (4.0, 5.3) mmol/L; P=0.040] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [(AA: 2.4 (1.8, 3.3) mmol/L; AC: 3.2 (2.5, 3.5) mmol/L; P=0.035] among patients with different genotypes of AGTR1 locus. The patients with different genotypes of CYP2C9 locus had significant differences in their alanine transferase (ALT) [AA:16.9 (11.4,30.2) mmol/L; AC:10.4 (9.4, 18.2) mmol/L; P=0.040]. Aftergene-directed individualized therapy, different genotypes of CYP3A5 andAGTR1 affected the heart rate [CYP3A5: AA: (79.3±7.0) beats/min; AG: (69.8±6.8) beats/min; GG: (68.8±7.3) beats/min; P=0.010], systolic blood pressure [AGTR1: AA: (131.3±16.7) mmHg; AC: (140.6±11.8) mmHg; P=0.014] and diastolic blood pressure [CYP3A5: AA: (90.0±8.3) mmHg; AG: (78.7±10.8) mmHg; GG: (74.9±10.7) mmHg; P=0.025; AGTR1: AA: (75.3±10.2) mmHg; AC: (86.3±10.6) mmHg; P=0.001] of patients. Conclusions The related gene loci of antihypertensive drugs are an important basis for guiding the diversification and individualization of clinical medication. Clinicians need to consider the impact of related genes on drug efficacy and adverse reactions when prescribing.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of vacuum disk(VD) for non-invasive treatment of recurrent and acquired pectus excavatum(PE).Methods:From June 2017 to June 2019, 29 patients recruited from our outpatient clinic were included in this retrospective study and followed-up every 3 month according to the schedule. The patients were distributed into three groups(group 1 treated ≤6 months; group 2 treated from 6 months to 12 months; group 3 treated >12 months). The device should be applied regularly for more than 2 hours daily. The deformity chest wall was scanned by three-dimensional(3D)scanner at clinic, and the 3D-depth(3D-DE) and 3D-Haller index(3D-HI) of PE were calculated through Geomagic software.Results:In this cohort, 29 patients were eligible, 18 symmetrical PE and 11 asymmetric PE. The application time ranged from 3 months to 15 months(average 7.6 months). 4 paitents was lifted to a normal level, 23 patients were differently improved. However, 2 paitents had no improvement. The average of the depth and 3D-HI of all patients were improved from 17.7 mm to 11.6 mm and 1.739 to 1.598, respectively. It’s no statistically significant difference for the elevation of 3D-DE and 3D-HI between symmetrical and asymmetric PE( t=-2.821, P=0.558; t=0.074, P=0.068). When comparing the improvement of 3D-DE or 3D-HI of PE to the patient's treatment time, a statistically significant difference was proved between the group 2 and group 1( t=-2.261, P=0.014; t=-0.436, P=0.043), but not between the group 3 and group 2( t=-1.240, P=0.139; t=0.622, P=0.568). The main side effects include moderate subcutaneous hematoma(84%), petechial bleeding(27%), thoracalgia(32%) and chest tightness(17%), no other side effect appear till now. Conclusion:VD for treatment of recurrent and acquired PE is convenient, safe and noninvasive, which can be an alternative treatment for recurrent and acquired PE, However, long term of efficacy evaluation is still needed.
