Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting stent(DES) versus coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) in the treatment of left anterior descending coronary artery(CAD) stenosis.Methods Literature about the efficacy and safety of DES versus CABG for LAD stenosis was retrieved from digital databases of MEDLINE, EMbase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library by November 2016.Data extraction and quality assessment of included studies were conducted by two independent reviewers.RevMan 5.3 software was used to perform meta-analysis.Results Ten studies involving 9771 patients were finally included.The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in mortality [RR=0.88,95%CI(0.70,1.11),P=0.28],major adverse cardiovascular events[MACE,RR=1.04,95%CI(0.88,1.24),P=0.63] or myocardial infarction [MI,RR=0.92,95%CI(0.56,1.53),P=0.75], but PCI-DES significantly increased the risk of TVR [OR=2.43,95%CI(1.61,3.69),P<0.0001].Conclusion For LAD stenosis, PCI-DES strategy causes as high a rate of mortality, MACE and MI as CABG or DES, but PCI-DES can significantly increase the risk of TVR, so we should be cautious clinically.

Objective To investigate characteristics of symptoms, tongue and pulse of high-risk group of stroke, and provide evidence of differential treatment for stroke prevention, diagnosis and treatment of stroke, thus laying a solid foundation on further study of differential treatment system of high-risk groups of stroke. Methods With prospective observational method, 2536 cases of stroke were selected by multi-center screening, and characteristics of TCM symptoms, tongue, pulse and syndrome distribution in different gender and age were observed. Results The top five symptoms were:blurred vision (1670 cases, 65.9%), irritability (1458 cases, 57.5%), limp or pain on waist and knees (1445 cases, 57.1%), dizziness (1286 cases, 50.7%) and dry eyes (1274 cases, 50.2%). The top five tongue and pulse were:white moss (1401 cases, 55.2%), thin moss (1260 cases, 49.7%), string pulse (1201 cases, 47.4%), dark tongue (1168 cases, 46.1%) and red tongue (1027 cases, 40.5%). The detection rate of dizziness, insomnia, white coating, thin coating, etc. were higer in women than that in man (P<0.01). The detection rate of teeth shaking, greasy fur, yellow fur, string pulse, etc. were higher in man than that in woman (P<0.01). The detection rate of teeth shaking, dry eyes, thirst, dark tongue, red tongue, string pulse, etc. in the elderly group were higher than the middle-aged one (P<0.01). The detection rate of irritability, numbness, shortness of breath, scalloped tongue, thin coating, deep pulse, etc. in the middle-aged group was higher than the aged one (P<0.01). Conclusion The clinical manifestations of high-risk group of stroke are complicated. There were root deficiency such as deficiency of spleen and kidney, and branch excess such as wind-fire and phlegm-stasis. Difference and regularity were showed in different gender and different age groups to some extent.
