BACKGROUND: Limited data are available on the comparison of clinical outcomes of complete vs. incomplete percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) and multi-vessel disease (MVD). The study aimed to compare their clinical outcomes. METHODS: A total of 558 patients with CTO and MVD were divided into the optimal medical treatment (OMT) group ( n = 86), incomplete PCI group ( n = 327), and complete PCI group ( n = 145). Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed between the complete and incomplete PCI groups as sensitivity analysis. The primary outcome was defined as the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and unstable angina was defined as the secondary outcome. RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 21 months, there were statistical differences among the OMT, incomplete PCI, and complete PCI groups in the rates of MACEs (43.0% [37/86] vs. 30.6% [100/327] vs. 20.0% [29/145], respectively, P = 0.016) and unstable angina (24.4% [21/86] vs. 19.3% [63/327] vs. 10.3% [15/145], respectively, P = 0.010). Complete PCI was associated with lower MACE compared with OMT (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 2.00; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.23-3.27; P = 0.005) or incomplete PCI (adjusted HR = 1.58; 95% CI = 1.04-2.39; P = 0.031). Sensitivity analysis of PSM showed similar results to the above on the rates of MACEs between complete PCI and incomplete PCI groups (20.5% [25/122] vs. 32.6% [62/190], respectively; adjusted HR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.32-0.96; P = 0.035) and unstable angina (10.7% [13/122] vs. 20.5% [39/190], respectively; adjusted HR = 0.48; 95% CI = 0.24-0.99; P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS For treatment of CTO and MVD, complete PCI reduced the long-term risk of MACEs and unstable angina, as compared with incomplete PCI and OMT. Complete PCI in both CTO and non-CTO lesions can potentially improve the prognosis of patients with CTO and MVD.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Xijiao Dihuang Ddecoction (XJDHT) against sepsis-induced liver injury based on transcriptomics.Methods:Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly (random number) divided into the sepsis group, sepsis treatment with XJDHT and control group, with 20 mice in each group. The sepsis mouse model was established by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The control group was intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline. The sepsis treatment with XJDHT group was injected with XJDHT (crude drug 187.5 mg) twice a day 2 days before modeling. After modeling, gastric feeding was continued twice a day, while the control group and sepsis group were gavaged with the same amount of normal saline. At 72 h after LPS intervention, 9 mice in each group were randomly selected. After anesthesia, part of the liver were taken for small RNA and RNA sequencing and analysis, and part of the liver were taken for pathological examination.Results:XJDHT could improve the histopathological changes of liver in septic mice, and alleviate some abnormally expressed microRNAs (mmu-mir-292a-5p, mmu-mir-871-3p, mmu-mir-653-5p, mmu-mir-293-5p, mmu-mir-155-3p, mmu-mir-346-5p, mmu-mir-187-5p, mmu-mir-3090-3p) and their target genes.Conclusions:XJDHT can reduce the liver histopathological changes in septic mice, and its mechanism may be related to XJDHT regulating the expression of important key genes of liver of sepsis like mmu-mir-187-5p and its target genes such as ADAM8, irak3 and PFKFB3

Toxoplasma gondii cathepsin C proteases (TgCPC1, 2, and 3) are important for the growth and survival of T. gondii. In the present study, B-cell and T-cell epitopes of TgCPC1 were predicted using DNAstar and the Immune Epitope Database. A TgCPC1 DNA vaccine was constructed, and its ability to induce protective immune responses against toxoplasmosis in BALB/c mice was evaluated in the presence or absence of the adjuvant α-GalCer. As results, TgCPC1 DNA vaccine with or without adjuvant α-GalCer showed higher levels of IgG and IgG2a in the serum, as well as IL-2 and IFN-γ in the spleen compared to controls (PBS, pEGFP-C1, and α-Galcer). Upon challenge infection with tachyzoites of T. gondii (RH), pCPC1/α-Galcer immunized mice showed the longest survival among all the groups. Mice vaccinated with DNA vaccine without adjuvant (pCPC1) showed better protective immunity compared to other controls (PBS, pEGFP-C1, and α-Galcer). These results indicate that a DNA vaccine encoding TgCPC1 is a potential vaccine candidate against toxoplasmosis.

non-myeloablative BuCy+fludarabine conditioning regimen,and another one was treated with TBI+VP-1 6 +CTX+CCNU conditioning regimen.Only one case received short-term MTX,cyclosporin A and ATG regimen for prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).The GVHD prevention regimens of the other patients were based on short-term MTX,cyclosporin A,ATG and mycophenolate mofetil regimen.The hematopoietic reconstitution, complications and prognosis were observed.Results One patient died of intracranial hemorrhage,and hematopoi-etic reconstitution was achieved in the other 20 patients.The median time for hematopoietic reconstitution shortened by one day in large-dose group compared with that in low-dose group.Adverse reactions included high fever, shivering,gastrointestinal tract adverse reaction,liver injury,oral mucositis and other rare side effects.GVHD occurred more frequently in patients with HLA mismatched transplantation.Nine patients with aGVHD and 9 patients with cGVHD recovered after effective treatment.Within 100 days after transplantation,18 patients had bacterial or fungal infection,mainly upper respiratory tract infection;7 patients had cytomegalovirus infection;2 had EB viremia,and one had urinary BK virus infection.Only one patient died of VOD.Hemorrhagic cystitis occurred in 5 patients and improved after treatment.The median survival time was 24 months (ranging from 136 days to 9 years).One-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 85.2% and 63.9%,the disease free survival rates were 81% and 23.8%,recurrence free survival rates were 71.4% and 14.3%,respectively.Conclusion URD-HSCT was an effective method to treat leukemia.Conditioning regimen of BuCy and modified BuCy2 were safe and effective,the adverse reactions were reversible and well tolerated.Hematopoietic reconstitution time shortened in large-dose MNC and CD34 + cell number groups compared with that in low-dose group.The occurrence rate of GVHD with HLA mismatched transplantation was more than that of HLA matched transplantation.Low-dose heparin,prostaglandin E1 and Danshen injection can effectively prevent VOD.
