Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock and left main coronary artery disease is called left main shock syndrome. It is reported that the morbility and mortality of the syndrome is approximately 0.46%and 55%-80%, respectively. However, the best treat-ment strategy in these cases is unknown. In this article, we present a patient with LMSS who successively underwent emergency percutane-ous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting with hemodynamic support within 5 days. The patient is now on his three month uneventful out-patient follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is a kind of eye disease that can cause irreversible blindness which is characterized by visual field loss. Clinical research shows that the optic nerve head has changed before the visual field loss. The morphological changes of the optic nerve head have become the key to determine the early diagnosis of glaucoma and disease development. So it has important significance for us to study the morphological changes of the tissues of optic nerve head under the high intraocular pressure.
OBJECTIVE: To establish three-dimensional finite element model of optic nerve head which includes choroid, retina and lamina cribrosa, and analyze the thickness of the optic nerve head under the acute high intraocular pressure.
METHODS: (1) We chose healthy cats without refractive media and other eye diseases. The tomographic sequence images of the optic nerve head of a cat were obtained with the intraocular pressure of the normal value by using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. (2) The three-dimensional model of the retina, choroid and lamina cribrosa was obtained. Three-dimensional model of optic nerve head was established by assembling the model of the retina, the choroid and the lamina cribrosa. The thickness of the retina, choroid and lamina cribrosa was analyzed under different intraocular pressures by using the method of finite element analysis. (3) Animal model of acute ocular hypertension was established by methods of anterior chamber perfusion. The tomographic sequence images of the optic nerve head of a cat were obtained with different intraocular pressures by using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Then, we measured the thickness changes of the choroid, retina and lamina cribrosa under different intraocular pressures, and compared with the results of finite element analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The thickness of the choroid, retina and lamina cribrosa trended to be thin, and the cup dish ratio of optic nerve head increased gradual y with the increased intraocular pressures. Regarding to the thickness changes of the choroid, retina and lamina cribrosa, the trend of experimental measurement results was consistent with finite element calculation results. Hence, it is feasible to analyze morphological changes of every fundus tissue under high intraocular pressure using the tomographic sequence images obtained by optical coherence tomography. We can predict the morphological changes of the optic nerve head tissue by finite element analysis, which has certain guiding significance in determining the progression of glaucoma.

Either injury or reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) may damage proprioceptive sense, remodel central ner-vous system and impair motor control. It is necessary to systematically remodel neuromuscular function, including proprioceptive sense cor-rection, central nervous system remodeling and motor control strengthening etc., for patients after ACL reconstruction.

Objective To investigate whether simple visual assessment of FVERVOT(the right ventricular outflow tract Doppler flow velocity envelop) graphs aids in hemodynamic differentiation. Method The hemodynamics, echocardiography, and clinical data of 88 patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) were reviewed. The FVERVOTgraphs were categorized into normal pattern (no notch; NN), late systolic notch pattern (LSN) or mid-systolic notch pattern (MSN). Results The pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was highest in the MSN pattern (9.2±3.5 WU; P＜0. 001), in comparison with LSN (5,7 ±3. 1 WU) and NN (3.3±2.4 WU) patterns. The ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure (compliance) also varied with different patterns of FVERVOr graph (MSN = 1.2 ± 0. 5; LSN = 1.7 ± 0.8; NN = 2.6 ± 1. 7, P = 0.001 and 0.04 respectively compared with NN). The specificity and sensitivity of MSN were 96% and 71%, respectively in case of a PVR ＞ 5 WU (PPV 98%). In the patients with PH, any notching pattern of FVERVOT graph was highly associated with PVR ＞ 3 WU (OR = 22.3, 95 % CI: 5.2 ～ 96.4), whereas the NN pattern predicted a PVR ≤3 WU and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ＞ 15 mmHg (OR =30.2, 95%CI: 6.3 ～ 144.9). Conclusions Visual inspection of the shape of the FVERVOT graphs provides insight into the hemodynamic status of patients with PH.

Although previous studies have shown functional efficacy of myelotomy for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), the underlying mechanism remained unknown. This study aimed to determine the relationship between myelotomy-mediated neuroprotection and autophagy following SCI by evaluating the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3-II) and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Ninety-nine adult female rats were randomly assigned to either sham-operated group (SG), model group (MG), or 24 h-myelotomy group (MTG). SCI at T10 was induced with a New York University impactor, and myelotomy was performed 24 h after SCI. Functional recovery was evaluated via the open-field test. The protein expression of LC3-II was analyzed by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of LC3-II and mTORC1 were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Rats in the MTG exhibited significantly better performance in the hind limbs compared to those in the MG on day seven and fourteen post-injury. Myelotomy suppressed the protein and mRNA expression of LC3-II on day three, seven and fourteen post-injury and increased the mRNA expression of mTORC1 in the MTG on day three and seven post-injury. The LC3-II protein expression was significantly and negatively correlated with BBB scores at day seven and fourteen post-injury. These results showed that myelotomy-induced neuroprotection in a rat model of SCI was likely mediated by inhibition of autophagy by activation of the mTORC1 signaling pathway

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of bendamustine combination regimen in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).Methods:From March 2020 to December 2020, 16 patients with RRMM were treated with bendamustine combination regimen in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The efficacy and adverse events (AEs) of bendamustine combination regimen were retrospectively analyzed in the 16 patients.Results:The median treatment lines for 16 patients with RRMM who received bendamustine combination regimen was 4 lines, and the median course of treatment was 3 (1-8). The median follow-up time after bendamustine treatment started was 5.3(1.3-9.2)months. Among the 16 cases, the disease control rate (DCR), overall response rate(ORR), and ≥ very good partial remission (VGPR) rate were 13/16, 5/16, 4/16 respectively. The median PFS was 4.9 months. Among them, the ORR of bendamustine combined with immunomodulators was higher. AEs were anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and fatigue. No patients who stopped treatment and adjusted the dose due to AEs.Conclusions:Bendamustine combination regimen is an effective and safe regimen for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Objective:To study the risk factors of acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy and the prognostic value of urinary neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) .Methods:The data of 80 patients with diabetic nephropathy in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from Mar. 2016 to Dec. 2020 were retrospectively studied. According to the random selection of numbers + artificial arrangement, they were divided into observation group and control group according to the presence or absence of acute kidney injury (AKI) . The observation group included patients with diabetic nephropathy complicated by acute kidney injury, and the control group included patients with diabetic nephropathy. The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) , blood routine, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) , NGAL, etc. were compared between the two groups. The correlation and influencing factors of acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy and age, eGFR, severe infection, antibiotics, heart failure, respiratory failure, ACR, LVEF, and NGAL were studied. At the same time, the prognostic value of urinary NGAL was analyzed.Results:Single factor screening: There was no significant difference in gender or body weight between the two groups ( P>0.05) . However, there were differences in age, epidermal growth factor receptor (eGFR) , severe infection, antibiotics, heart failure, respiratory failure, ACR, LVEF, and NGAL ( P<0.05) . Correlation: Acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy was very weakly correlated with gender, age, and body weight, moderately correlated with eGFR, heart failure, respiratory failure, ACR, and LVEF, and highly correlated with NGAL, severe infection, and antibiotics. Risk factors: The independent risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy included severe infection, eGFR, antibiotics, ACR, LVEF, and NGAL. The prognostic value of urinary NGAL: AUC=0.967, standard error 0.021, Youden index 0.967, sensitivity 0.967, specificity 1, and zero cutoff point 30.00. Conclusion:The main influencing factors of DN complicated with AKI are severe infection, eGFR, antibiotics, ACR, LVEF, NGAL, and urinary NGAL has prognostic value for DN complicated with AKI, and it is worthy of clinical application.
