Distal transradial access(dTRA)was first applied in coronary heart disease intervention by Kiemeneij in 2017,dTRA has become an important technological advancement of coronary interventional therapy.This approach,performed by puncturing the distal radial artery within the anatomical snuffbox or Hegu point,significantly reduces the incidence of radial artery occlusion compared with conventional transradial access and shortens compression time to 2-3 hours after procedure.Clinical evidence confirms the efficacy of dTRA in facilitating complex percutaneous coronary interventions,including stenting of left main coronary artery bifurcation lesions and recanalization of chronic total occlusions.Its application has progressively expanded to neurointerventional procedures(cerebral angiography),tumor embolization(transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma),and peripheral vascular interventions.Despite increasing clinical adoption,dTRA still faces challenges,including a long learning curve and relatively lower initial puncture success rates.Combined with the current paucity of robust evidence-based data,the viability of dTRA as a routine interventional access route remains a subject of debate.This article systematically reviews the anatomical landmarks,clinical advantages,limitations,and multidisciplinary applications of dTRA.This article aims to provide practical guidance for interventionalists and promote the standardization of this technique in daily clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the reporting quality of randomized controlled trials on acupuncture cessation by using CONSORT statement and STRICTA checklist.Methods According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,9 Chinese and English databases such as CNKI and PubMed were searched by computer,and the retrieved literatures were evaluated according to the CONSORT statement 2010 and STRICTA checklist 2010.Results After exclusion,34 Chinese and English literatures were included,including 27 in Chinese and 7 in English.In a risk review using ROB2,the Cochrane Collaboration's bias risk assessment tool,29 reviews were judged to be high risk overall,2 to be at some risk,and 3 to be at low risk.In the CONSORT statement evaluation,the reporting rate of 23 items was less than 76.4%,including the reporting rate of 17 items was less than 47%.In the STRICTA checklist evaluation,the reporting rate of 9 items was less than 76.4%,including the reporting rate of 4 items was less than 29.4%.Conclusion There are still shortcomings in the methodological design and item reporting standards of acupuncture smoking cessation RCT.It is suggested that researchers should strictly follow the CONSORT declaration and STRICTA list in designing RCT schemes and reporting RCT results in the future.

Objective:To investigate the association between estimated cumulative low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) exposure and the severity of coronary artery disease and long-term adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods:The subjects were from the PROMISE study. This study was a prospective cohort study led by Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, with participation from eight regional tertiary hospitals as sub-centers, and enrolled 18 701 patients with confirmed coronary heart disease between January 2015 and May 2019. Among them, 8 429 patients with ACS were included in this study. The estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure was calculated by multiplying LDL-C by age. Participants were then divided into four groups based on quartiles. Baseline data and coronary angiography data were collected, and participants were followed for 2 years. The primary endpoint was MACCE, which was composed of all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, and stroke. Spearman correlation analysis was used to estimate the correlation between cumulative LDL-C exposure and the severity of coronary artery disease. The differences in MACCE among the four groups were compared, and multivariate Cox regression was used to divide the estimated cumulative exposure LDL-C into two groups, three groups, and four groups to analyze its relationship with MACCE.Results:The 8 429 ACS patients included in the study had an age of (60.9±11.4) years, with 1 951(23.1%) females. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure was positively associated with the preoperative SYNTAX score, three-vessel lesions disease, left main disease, and the number of target lesions (correlation coefficients r=0.14, 0.10, 0.04 and 0.03, respectively, with all P<0.05). The 2-year follow-up results indicated that the incidence rates of MACCE, all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in ACS patients grouped by different levels of estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The results of the Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that when the estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure was treated as a continuous variable and analyzed in two, three, and four groups, with the lowest group as the reference, the risk of MACCE occurrence in the high-value group increased by 21% (95% CI 1.08-1.37, P=0.002), 24% (95% CI 1.07-1.43, P=0.004), and 21% (95% CI 1.02-1.43, P=0.025) respectively. Conclusions:A positive correlation was found between estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure and severity of coronary artery disease. High estimated cumulative LDL-C exposure level is a risk factor for MACCE in ACS patients within 2 years.

Objectives:To investigate the impacts of American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) coronary artery classification on the progression of coronary non-target lesions and revascularization in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:From January 2010 to September 2014,1255 patients who underwent two consecutive coronary angiographies at Fuwai Hospital and had coronary non-target lesions were retrospectively analyzed.Lesion characteristics of all coronary non-target lesions were recorded at both procedures.All non-target lesions were divided into A,B1,B2 and C lesion group according to ACC/AHA coronary artery classification.Patients were divided into non-B2/C lesion group (noncomplex lesion group) and B2/C lesion group (complex lesion group) according to whether the non-target lesion had B2/C lesion The characteristics of all non-target coronary artery lesions and quantitative coronary angiography results were recorded.Lesion progression and revascularization were compared between different groups.Results:There were 1003 (79.9％) male patients,mean age was (58.0±9.7) years old,and 853 patients had B2/C lesions.There were 1670 non-target lesions,including 619 A/B1 lesions (214 A lesions and 405 B1 lesions) and 1051 B2/C lesions (796 B2 lesions and 255 C lesions).Follow-up time was (14.8±4.5) months.Compared with the patients in noncomplex lesion group,patients in complex lesion group were older,had lower proportion of family history of coronary heart disease and stroke (all P<0.05).The baseline levels of leukocytes,C-reactive protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),triglyceride and HbA1c were higher in complex lesion group than those in noncomplex lesion group.Complex lesion group had higher risk of lesion progression (21.8％ vs.13.2％,P<0.001) compared with noncomplex lesion group,similar results were observed in revascularization (16.5％ vs.11.2％,P=0.013),and there was no statistically difference in non-target lesion related myocardial infarction (P>0.05).At the lesion level,compared with A/B1 lesion,B2/C lesion was associated with a higher rate of lesion progression (17.4％ vs.11.0％,P<0.001),and a higher rate of revascularization (13.0％ vs.9.2％,P=0.018).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that lesion classification (B2/C) was an independent risk factor for non-target lesion progression (HR=1.732,95％CI:1.275-2.351,P<0.001) and non-target lesion revascularization (HR=1.477,95％CI:1.053-2.070,P=0.024).Conclusions:The risk of non-target lesion progression and revascularization is higher in complex groups compared with noncomplex groups according to ACC/AHA classification.So patients with complex lesions should receive more strict medical care to control related risk factors and improve their outcome.

Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with multivessel disease is one of the high-risk types of coronary heart disease.Early opening of infarct-related artery and reperfusion of myocardium could significantly reduce the mortality in acute phase.However,the presence of non-culprit lesions in non-infarct-related arteries is still at risk and has an important impact on the long-term prognosis of patients.It remains controversial on how to precisely evaluate the clinical significance and revascularization value of non-culprit lesions.This article aims to review the research status and progress of guidance strategies of non-culprit lesion revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease.

Epidural labor analgesia aims to provide effective medical services to alleviate labor pain in parturients, while adhering to the principles of voluntary participation and clinical safety. In 2018, Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH)became one of the first pilot units for labor analgesia in China, and has achieved satisfactory results in high-quality development of labor analgesia. This article mainly introduces the achievements and experience of labor analgesia at PUMCH, including: (1) prioritizing maternal and infant safety, arranging personnel rationally, and developing standardized treatment processes through multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure safe and comfortable childbirth; (2) leveraging the hospital's comprehensive capabilities in emergency treatment, and improving collaborative rescue plans for critically ill parturients and newborns; (3) implementing advanced teaching methods to effectively train and conduct simulated drills for labor analgesia and rescue of critically ill parturients; (4) conducting patient education and informative lectures to help parturients acquire a scientific understanding of labor analgesia. We hope that this experience can provide reference and inspiration for other hospitals.
