Objective To study the relationship between serum visfatin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and disease severity of coronary heart disease (CHD) in elderly patients (≥90 years old). Methods One hundred and two elderly patients (≥90 years old) with CHD who received coronary CT angiography (CTA) were selected from January 2020 to June 2024. In addition, thirty-five elderly patients (≥90 years old) without CHD who underwent coronary CTA during the same period were included in the control group. The CHD patients were divided into mild group, moderate group and severe group by CT-SYNTAX score. The clinical data and levels of serum visfatin and NLR were compared, and the correlation and diagnostic value of the above levels with disease severity of CHD in elderly patients were analyzed. Results Serum visfatin and NLR were manifested as severe group>moderate group>mild group>control group (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis found that serum visfatin and NLR were moderately positively correlated with CT-SYNTAX score (r=0.574, 0.482, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) of combination of serum visfatin and NLR in diagnosing severe lesion in elderly patients (≥90 years old) with CHD was 0.882, which was higher than that of visfatin or NLR alone, and its 95%CI was 0.803-0.938. Conclusion There is a certain correlation between serum visfatin, NLR and disease severity of CHD in elderly patients. The combination of the above indicators has a higher predictive value on severe lesion.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The clinical data of 64 MM patients who received ASCT in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 2015 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics, therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of the patients were summarized.Results:Of the 64 patients, 42 were male and 22 were female; the median age was 54 years old (37-69 years old). The median number of CD34 + cells collected from 46 patients in the CE (cyclophosphamide, etoposide) regimen mobilization group and 17 patients in the plerixafor mobilization group were 7.50×10 6/kg [(1.15-24.73)×10 6/kg] and 4.54×10 6/kg [(0.75-10.40)×10 6/kg], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 3.02, P = 0.024). Hematopoietic reconstitution was successful in all 64 patients, and the median time for white blood cell and platelet engraftment was 11 d (8-13 d) and 11 d (8-15 d), respectively. The patients' pretreatment regimens were all high-dose melphalan, the median white blood cell and platelet engraftment time of 29 patients in the oral group were 11 d (8-13 d) and 11 d (8-15 d), respectively, the median white blood cell and platelet engraftment time of 35 patients in the intravenous infusion group were 11 d (8-12 d) and 11 d (8-15 d), respectively, and there were no statistical differences (both P > 0.05). The ≥CR rate was 48.4% (31/64) before transplantation and 70.3% (45/64) three months after transplantation, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 6.35, P = 0.012). The median follow-up time of all patients was 27 months (2-67 months). The 3-year OS and PFS rates were 77.6% and 54.9%, and the median OS and PFS time were 67 and 52 months. The median hospitalization time was 20 d (15-37 d). There was no transplantation-related mortality, and the main adverse reactions were gastrointestinal reactions (100.0%, 64/64), grade 4 thrombocytopenia (98.4%, 63/64), grade 4 neutropenia, and agranulocytosis with fever (40.6%, 26/64). Conclusions:ASCT is effective for MM patients suitable for transplantation, which can further improve the remission rate and remission depth, prolong the PFS and OS time of patients, and the adverse reactions are controllable.
