BACKGROUND:Large randomized controled clinical trials have shown that drug-eluting stents has a lower
restenosis rate compared with bare-metal stents, but the drug-eluting stents cannot reduce major cardiovascular events and death rates, and long-term folow-up of clinical registries show the drug-eluting stents even may
increase late stent thrombosis events.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the incidence of stenosis and adverse reactions after treatment with biodegradable, non-biodegradable drug-eluting stents and bare-metal stents in patients after myocardial infarction.
METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 236 cases of acute myocardial infarction, in which 79 cases were treated with biodegradable sirolimus-eluting stents, 83 cases treated with non-biodegradable
sirolimus-eluting stents, and 74 cases treated with bare metal stents. Then, we compared late lumen loss and restenosis within 12 months after stent implantation and major adverse cardiac reactions within 24 months after stent implantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 12 months, the late lumen loss of the bare stent group was significantly higher than that of biodegradable and non-biodegradable sirolimus-eluting stent groups (P < 0.05), but the
difference in stent restenosis rate (P > 0.05). After 24 months, there were no differences in death, cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, target lesion revascularization, major adverse
cardiac events and stent thrombosis events among the three groups. These three kinds of stents need to be
further studied in their long-term efficacy and safety as percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the cause of poisoning leading to multi-organ damage in a patient with an unexplained condition, to confirm the type and exposure amount of the pathogenic factor, to identify the sources of pathogenic factors, and to provide references and bases for the clinical treatment and the prevention of such events. Methods　Starting with the unknown traditional Chinese medicine taken by patients for a long time, the targeted screening strategy was initially used to screen for alkaloid poisoning. Subsequently, a non-targeted screening strategy using Information-dependent Acquisition Mode (IDA) was used to screen the patient's blood, urine, and drug samples. Combining the toxicological effects of suspected compounds with the patient′s clinical manifestations, the main pathogenic factors were determined. Quantitative methods were established according to standard substances to quantify the pathogenic factors in all the samples. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to obtain the patient's medication history, and combined with the examination of the medication's specifications and content, the exposure dose of each pathogenic factor was determined. Finally, a Data data-independent acquisition (DIA) mode termed Sequential Window Acquisition of All Theoretical Fragment-Ion Spectra (SWATH) was used to screen all samples, unbiasedly collecting secondary mass spectrometry information of compounds, thereby verifying and supplementing the confirmed pathogenic factors. Results　Targeted screening ruled out common alkaloid poisoning. Tadalafil was detected in the patient's blood and urine. Tadalafil, sildenafil, chloropretadalafil, acetaminophen, and diclofenac were detected in unknown traditional Chinese medicine. The side effects of these compounds were consistent with the clinical manifestations of the patient. The highest daily average exposure doses of tadalafil, sildenafil, chloropretadalafil, acetaminophen, and diclofenac were 30.5 mg, 15.8 mg, 0.05 mg, 45.6 mg, and 3.2 mg respectively, which were seriously excessive. The SWATH mode also screened out the above five drugs. In addition, palmatine chloride was also detected. Conclusions　Combining the patient's clinical manifestations and epidemiological data, this study integrated targeted screening, untargeted screening, targeted quantitative strategies, data-dependent, and DIA mode to confirm that this case is a drug poisoning event caused by long-term overdose consumption of traditional Chinese medicine adulterated with chemical components. This study provides insights for the diagnosis and investigation of patients with poisoning for unknown causes, offering references for emergency detection and management of related poisoning incidents.

Objective To observe the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) at different frequency on post-stroke pharyngeal dysphagia.Methods Forty-five stroke survivors with pharyngeal dysphagia were randomly divided into treatment group 1,treatment group 2 and treatment group 3,eachof 15 patients.Patients in the treatment group 1,2 and 3 received NMES once,twice and three times a day respectively.All the 3 groups were given conventional swallowing training.The swallowing function classification was conducted before treatment,as well as 1,2 and 4 weeks after the treatment.Before and 2 weeks after the treatment,X-ray examination of swallowing (VFSS) was taken to assess the swallowing function,and the average treating days of the 3 groups were compared.Results The swallowing function classification showed that in treatment group 1 and 2,significant improvement was observed at this time point than that at the previous time point (P＜0.05).In treatment group 3,after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment,significant improvement was found compared to those previously,but there was no difference between after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment.At the same time points,the treatment group 2 and 3 showed higher efficiency than the group 1 (P＜0.05).And compared with the treatment group 2,the treatment group 3 showed higher efficiency after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment (P＜0.05),but there was nosignificant difference after 4 weeks of treatment.Two weeks after the treatment,the average VFSS scores of all groups were significantly higher than those before the treatment (P＜0.05) and that of treatmentgroup 2 (7.600± 1.793) and 3 (8.900± 1.636) was significantly higher than that in treatment group 1 (6.700±1.873),as was that of group 3 compared to group 2.Compared with the treatment group 1 and 2,the average treatment days decreased significantly in treatment group 3 (P＜0.05).Conclusion NMES is effective in treating pharyngeal dysphagia after stroke.And within a certain range (1 to 3 times every day),with the increasing of daily treatment frequency,the effectismore significant and the average time of treatment shortens.

Bone marrow stem cells(BMSCs) can differentiate into cardiomyocytes when induced with proper reagent. The cardiomyocytes from BMSCs have cardiomyocyte phenotypes with the expression of cardiac-specific antigen and receptor. BMSCs differentiate into cardiomyocytes in host myocardial microenvironments. Mechanism of the differentiation is unclear and need to be studied further.
