Objective:To analyze the predictive value of residual lipoprotein cholesterol (RLP-C) combined with three-dimensional spot tracking (3D-STE) technology for myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods:A total of 158 patients with suspected CHD myocardial ischemia admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from March 2021 to August 2023 were selected and divided into the observation group (patients with myocardial ischemia) and the control group (patients with non-myocardial ischemia) according to the results of coronary angiography (CAG). The levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and total cholesterol (TC) of the patients were detected by the fully automatic biochemical analyzer, and the level of RLP-C was calculated. The 3D-STE technique was adopted to analyze the global long axis strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global radial strain (GRS) of the left ventricle of the patients. The differences of each index between the two groups were compared, the related influencing factors of myocardial ischemia in patients with CHD were analyzed, and the predictive value of RLP-C combined with 3D-STE technology for myocardial ischemia in patients with CHD was evaluated.Results:CAG revealed 39 patients (24.68%) with myocardial ischemia, with a total of 52 myocardial perfusion abnormalities, including 22 right coronary artery supply areas, 12 left coronary artery circumflex supply areas, and 18 anterior descending branch areas. The levels of cardiac function classification, GCS, GRS, GLS and RLP-C in the observation group were all better than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that cardiac function classification grade Ⅳ, GCS, GRS, GLS, and RLP-C were the influencing factors of myocardial ischemia in patients with CHD (all P<0.05). Analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve results showed that the sensitivities of cardiac function classification grade Ⅳ, GCS, GRS, RLP-C, GLS and the combination of the five in predicting myocardial ischemia in patients with CHD were 69.23%, 71.79%, 74.36%, 76.92%, 74.36% and 89.74%, respectively. The specificities were 68.91%, 71.43%, 75.63%, 77.31%, 76.47% and 88.24% respectively. The combined diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in patients with CHD with cardiac function classification grade Ⅳ, GCS, GRS, RLP-C and GLS had a relatively high value (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Cardiac function classification grade Ⅳ, GLS, GCS, GRS, and RLP-C are influencing factors of myocardial ischemia in patients with CHD. Combined detection is helpful to improve the diagnostic accuracy of myocardial ischemia.

Objective To investigate the number and distribution of N-linked glycosylation sites of simian/human immunodeficiency virus envelope proteins (SHIVSF162P3) and SHIV transmission. Methods Two female adult Chinese rhesus macaques (4 years old) were intravenously inoculated with 300 TCID50 SHIVSF162P3. The macaques weighed 4 and 5 kg and were identified as Rh1 and Rh2. We collected plasma samples at days 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 24, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70 and 77 post-challenge. Subsequently, we monitored plasma viral load by real-time PCR after viral RNA isolation and cDNA synthesis. We amplified the full-length envelope gene by single genome amplification (SGA) at days 7, 14, 28 and 77. BioEdit, MEGA, and the HIV Databases were used to analyze envelope sequences. Sequence diversity and N-linked glycosylation sites were compared between virus stock and plasma viruses of the two macaques. Results A total of 55 env sequences were obtained from virus stock and their average pairwise distances were (0.166 6± 0.096 3)%. Viral loads peaked at 7.68 and 7.49 log10 copies/ml at day 10 and reached the set point at day 42 (4.27 and 4.81 log10 copies/ml). The percentages of envelope sequences containing 25 potential N-linked glycosylation sites (PNGSs) were 83%(20/24) and 94%(29/31) in Rh1 and Rh2, respectively, at day 7;these were significantly higher than the proportion in SHIVSF162P3 stock (49%(27/55)). Viral diversity after infection increased with time whereas the proportion of sequences containing 25 PNGSs decreased and sequences containing 27 PNGSs gradually increased. In Rh1, the percentage of sequences containing 27 PNGSs increased to 29%at day 28 and reached 35%at day 77 in Rh2. By analyzing the number of PNGSs in the V1-V5 regions, we found that PNGS variation mainly occurred in the V4 loop. Compared with sequences containing 27 PNGSs, a seven amino acid (TWNNTIG) deletion was found in the V4 loop, which resulted in a loss of two PNGSs at positions 392 and 396. Conclusion Low glycosylation of the SHIVSF162P3 V4 loop may facilitate spread of the SHIV virus whereas viruses with highly glycosylated V4 loops showed replication advantages after infection.
