Objective:
To investigate the effect of excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) in the interventional treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods:
This prospective study enrolled 31 patients with ACS who underwent ELCA treatment in our hospital from November 8, 2016 to December 13, 2017. The efficacy and complications of ELCA were observed, and patients were followed up for postoperative observation of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (including target vessel revascularization, stroke, stent thrombosis, coronary artery bypass grafting, and death).
Results:
The patients were aged (65.0±10.8) years old and 25 were males (80.6%).There were 5 cases (16.1%) ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, 3 cases (9.7%) non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and 23 cases (74.2%) unstable angina in this cohort.There were 9 cases (29.0%) in-stent restenosis, 11 cases (35.5%) saphenous vein graft, 2 cases (6.5%) chronic total occlusive disease, and 4 cases (12.9%) calcification.Two patients with chronic complete occlusive disease and 1 patient with calcified lesion were examined by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The other lesions were not examined with IVUS and optical correlation tomography (OCT).The ELCA success rate was 100% (31/31) and the PCI success rate was 100% (31/31).Intraoperative use of 0.9 mm diameter catheters accounted for 38.7% (12/31), 1.7 mm diameter catheters accounted for 32.3% (10/31), and 1.4 mm diameter catheters accounted for 29.0% (9/31).One patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction experienced no reflow of coronary artery during operation. The other 30 patients had no complications such as perforation, small dissection, large dissection, distal occlusion, slow blood flow and collateral occlusion. One cardiac death(3.2%) occurred during the postoperative follow-up of (6.4±1.9) months.
Conclusion
Our preliminary study results indicate that the use of ELCA in the interventional therapy of ACS is safe and effective.

Objective:To investigate the effects of miRNA-143-3p on the proliferation, migration and invasion of keloid fibroblasts (KFB) and the possible mechanism.Methods:KFB and normal skin fibroblasts (NFB) were isolated and cultured. The expression of miRNA-143-3p and integrin β5 (ITGB5) at mRNA level in KFB and NFB were detected by RT-qPCR. Western blot was performed to measure the expression of ITGB5 at protein level. After overexpressing miRNA-143-3p or suppressing ITGB5 expression in KFB cells, MTT assay, Transwell assay, RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the effects on the proliferation, migration and invasion of KFB and the expression of related proteins. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to validate the targeting relationship between miRNA-143-3p and ITGB5.Results:Compared with NFB, KFB showed down-regulated miRNA-143-3p expression and up-regulated expression of ITGB5 at both mRNA and protein levels. The proliferation, migration and invasion of KFB were inhibited after overexpressing miRNA-143-3p or suppressing ITGB5 expression. Moreover, miRNA-143-3p could negatively regulate ITGB5 expression and overexpression of ITGB5 reversed the effects of miRNA-143-3p overexpression on KFB proliferation, migration and invasion.Conclusions:This study suggested that miRNA-143-3p could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of KFB through down-regulating ITGB5 expression.

Method: The included and excluded criteria was established before the setting of search terms, eligible databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang and Vip) were searched and the quality evaluation and evidence classification was conducted for eligible documents. The software RevMan was used to evaluate the clinical evidence of Xinxuening in the treatment of cardiovascular disease (primary hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure and hyperlipidemia) and to explore the specific mechanism.Results: A total of 16 suitable studies were included, of which 15 were RCTs and 1 was observation study. 9 of the 16 studies were the C level evidence and 7 were the D level. The included studies were all low quality. The outcome indicators of clinical treatment for cardiovascular disease were: the efficacy of hypertension therapy, the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure after therapy, the efficacy of angina pectoris and hyperlipidemia treatment, and the total cholesterol and triglyceride levels after treatment. The results showed that Xinxuening could significantly reduce the level of blood pressure for patients with hypertension, improve the symptoms of angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart disease, and reduce the levels of blood lipids (triglycerides and total cholesterol) . The results have statistical differences (P < 0.05) . However, it the specific mechanism of Xinxuening in the treatment of cardiovascular disease was not found.Conclusion: Xinxuening has higher clinical effect on the treatment of some cardiovascular diseases compared with some western drugs and other proprietary Chinese medicine. However, it still needs further exploration of the specific clinical mechanism and to conduct high-quality clinical research.

Objective: To conduct a comprehensive and systematic review of the efficacy and safety of Wenxin Keli (WXKL) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) . Methods: Seven databases (PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web ofScience, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP and SinoMed) were searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inceptions to 1 October, 2018. Two review authors independently assessed the methodological quality andanalyzed data by Cochrane handbook and the Rev Man 5.3 software. Begg.s test was conducted to assess publication biasvia Stata 14 software. Results: Twenty-four RCTs with 2246 patients were included in this review. Compared with blankcontrol, placebo or western medicine alone, WXKL alone or combined with western medicine could effectively reducerapid ventricular rate (MD=-7.14, 95%CI:-8.42——5.87), the frequency and duration of AF. It could also shorten thesinus rhythm conversion time (MD=-3.04, 95%CI:-3.47——2.61), increase the sinus rhythm conversion rate (RR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.09~1.29) and decrease recurrence rate of AF (RR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.13-0.59) . Besides, WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine was beneficial for improving the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (MD=3.44, 95% CI: 0.87-6.01), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (MD=-2.47, 95% CI:-2.86——2.08), left atrialdiameter (LAd) (MD=-0.91, 95%CI:-1.58——0.25) and P wave dispersion (Pd) (MD=-4.04, 95%CI:-4.15——3.93) .WXKL combined with low-dose amiodarone was superior to conventional-dose amiodarone alone in improving themaximum P wave (Pmax) (MD=-8.25, 95% CI:-10.33——6.17), and WXKL combined with conventional-doseamiodarone is more effective (MD=-13.10, 95%CI:-13.65——12.55) . Compared with the control group, the treatmentgroup had fewer adverse reactions, and the Begg.s test did not find any publication bias. Conclusion: WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine exhibited better therapeutic effects in the treatment of AF, but these results still needhigh-quality evidence to verify.

【Objective】 To explore the correlation between CSAG1 expression and the prognosis and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC), and to predict the survival and tumor progression. 【Methods】 The gene expression profiles and clinical information of CSAG1 were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Based on the differential mRNA expression, GO annotation and KEGG pathway analysis were performed. The relationship between CSAG1 and tumor immune infiltration was assessed with Tumor Immunoassay Resource (Timer 2.0) database. The mRNA expression of CSAG1 in human RCCC specimens was validated with qRT-PCR. 【Results】 CSAG1 expression was significantly higher in RCCC tissues than in normal tissues (P<0.05). The qRT-PCR results revealed that the mRNA level of CSAG1 was consistent with that predicted by bioinformatic analysis. The KEGG analysis and GO annotation indicated high GSAG1 expression in RCCC was related to transmembrane transport, tricarboxylic acid cycle and lysosome. CSAG1 expression was positively related to the infiltration of pDC, aDC, CD8+ T cells, cytotoxic cells, TFH, TH1 cells, Tem, NK CD56dm cells, Treg and T cells, but negatively correlated with macrophage infiltration. 【Conclusion】 CSAG1 may be associated with poor prognosis of RCCC and become a potential immunotherapy target.
