Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

Objective To investigate the clinical prognosis of untreated residual coronary artery dissection treated with drug coated balloon(DCB).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of patients with primary coronary artery lesions(2.5-4.0 mm)treated with DCB under angiography guidance at Xuzhou Cancer Hospital,Xuzhou New Health Geriatric Hospital,and Peixian Guotai Hospital from September 2017 to April 2023.According to the observation of coronary artery dissection through angiography,the patients were divided into a dissection group and a non dissection group.The main endpoint of this study was the major adverse cardiovascular event(MACE)during a 12-month follow-up.Results A total of 381 patients were enrolled in the three research centers,with 30 cases(30 lesions)in the dissection group and 351 cases(367 lesions)in the non dissection group.There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age,gender,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,diabetes,smoking,previous myocardial infarction,previous percutaneous coronary intervention,coronary artery bypass grafting and other baseline clinical characteristics(all P＞0.05).Except for the reference vessel diameter(P=0.049)and DCB pressure(P=0.032),there was no statistically significant difference in the characteristics of coronary angiography lesions between the two groups of patients(both P＞0.05).During a 12-month follow-up,there was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)in the incidence of MACE between the dissection group and the non dissection group after DCB treatment for primary coronary artery lesions in situ.Conclusions Untreated residual dissection after DCB treatment of de novo coronary lesions does not lead to an increase in clinical MACE.

support the diagnosis.The treatment of PHCC is mainly based on surgery.Due to the characteristics of intact capsule,surgical resection is relatively easy and the cure rate is higher than that of ordinary hepatocellular carcinoma,and the postoperative survival rate is relatively ideal.For unresectable PHCC,palliative treatment based on transcatheter arterial chemoembolization can be used.This article reviews the progress on diagnosis and treatment of PHCC in order to provide reference for clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the potential mechanism of action of Xian Fang Huo Ming Yin modified formula(XFHMY)in the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw(MRONJ)through bioinformatics analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments.Methods:Firstly,the efficacy of XFHMY was evaluated by establishing a mice model of MRONJ induced by zoledronic acid(ZOL);Subsequently,the potential molecular mechanism of XFHMY in the treatment of MRONJ was predicted by using network pharmacology;Lastly,the network pharmacology prediction results were collectively validated through MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and differentiation experiments,Western blot analysis,and immunohistochemical staining of mouse maxillary bone tissue.Results:Animal experiments showed that,compared to the model group,the XFHMY group exhibited significantly improved wound healing in the tooth extraction socket(P＜0.001),a significant reduction in bone volume fraction and empty lacunae rate in the maxilla(P＜0.0001,P＜0.001),and a significant increase in trabecular separation and osteoclast number(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Network pharmacology analysis identified 59 common targets,with both GO and KEGG analyses indicating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway as a crucial mechanism for XFHMY in treating MRONJ.Ten key active components,including quercetin,luteolin,and fisetin,were screened,and these compounds demonstrated strong binding affinity with CTNNB1,a core target of this pathway.In vitro experiments revealed that XFHMY(0.25,0.5,1,2,4 mg/mL)promoted MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation(P＜0.0001)and activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by upregulating β-catenin and Runx2 protein expression,thereby reversing ZOL-induced inhibition of MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and differentiation while enhancing both processes.Immunohistochemical analysis of mouse maxillae showed that,compared to the model group,the XFHMY group had significantly increased β-catenin and Runx2 protein expression(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),consistent with the in vitro findings.Conclusion:XFHMY promotes the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,which in turn attenuates MRONJ.The novel pharmacological mechanism proposed in this study provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XFHMY.
