Objective To analyze the short-term clinical efficacy and prognosis of one-stop transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)+percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of aortic valve disease with coronary heart disease. Methods The clinical data of patients with aortic valve disease complicated with coronary heart disease who underwent one-stop TAVR+PCI treatment at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospective analyzed. The preoperative and postoperative clinical data were compared, and 1-month follow-up results were recorded. Results A total of 37 patients were enrolled, including 22 males and 15 females, with an average age of 69.14±6.47 years. Thirty-six patients recovered and were discharged after the surgery, and 1 (2.7%) patient died during the surgery. Self-expanding TAVR valves were implanted through the femoral artery in all patients. One coronary artery was opened by PCI in 35 (94.6%) patients, and two coronary arteries were opened by PCI in 2 (5.4%) patients. All PCI opened arteries had a stenosis>70%. During the postoperative hospitalization, the complications included pulmonary infection in 11 (30.6%) patients, severe pneumonia in 10 (27.8%) patients, liver function injury in 14 (38.9%) patients, renal function injury in 5 (13.9%) patients, cerebral infarction in 1 (2.8%) patient, atrial fibrillation in 1 (2.8%) patient, ventricular premature beats in 2 (5.6%) patients, atrioventricular block in 2 (5.6%) patients, and complete left bundle branch block in 5 (13.9%) patients. The median postoperative ventilation assistance time was 12.0 (0.0, 17.0) h, the ICU monitoring time was 1.0 (0.0, 2.0) d, and the postoperative hospitalization time was 5.0 (4.0, 7.0) d. There was a significant improvement in the New York Heart Association cardiac function grading after surgery (P<0.001). After surgery, there were 21 (58.3%) patients had minor perivalve leakage, 6 (16.7%) patients had minor to moderate perivalve leakage, and no moderate or above degree of perivalve leakage. After one month of postoperative follow-up, 36 patients showed significant improvement in heart function. There were no patients with recurrent acute coronary syndrome, re-PCI, or cardiovascular system disease related re-hospitalization. Conclusion The one-stop TAVR+PCI treatment for patients with aortic valve disease and coronary heart disease can obtain satisfactory short-term clinical efficacy, which is worth further trying and studying.

Objective To investigate the expression of the ubiquitination enzyme UBE2S in different cell types in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)microenvironment and its impact on proliferation and stemness of HCC cells.Methods TCGA and CPTAC database were used to analyze the transcriptional and promoter methylation levels and protein expressions of UBE2S in HCC.Specific expression patterns of UBE2S,intercellular communication and key transcription factors in different cell types were analyzed based on single-cell sequencing data from TISCH website.We further examined UBE2S expressions in clinical samples of HCC tissues,HCC cells and T cells using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining.We also tested the effects of UBE2S knockdown on stemness of HCC-LM3 and HepG2 cells using clone formation experiments and sphere formation assay.Results Analysis based on TCGA database suggested significant overexpression of UBE2S in both paired and non-paired tumor tissues(P<0.001),and its transcriptional level increased with tumor grades.The methylation level of UBE2S promoter was significantly decreased in HCC(P<0.001),and its transcription level increased obviously in HCC with TP53 mutation(P<0.001).Analysis of CPTAC database also demonstrated overexpression of UBE2S protein in HCC tissues(P<0.001).Three prognostic models suggested that HCC patients with high UBE2S expression had poorer prognosis(P<0.001).Single-cell sequencing data analysis revealed high expressions of UBE2S in T cells and high intensities of interaction between endothelial cells,epithelial cells and fibroblasts in HCC microenvironment.Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated high UBE2S expressions in clinical samples of HCC tissues,HCC cells and T cells.In HCC-LM3 and HepG2 cells,UBE2S knockdown significantly inhibited cell clone formation and tumor sphere formation(P<0.05).Conclusion UBE2S is highly expressed in T cells in HCC microenvironment in close correlation with a poor prognosis.High UBE2S expression promotes the stemness of HCC cells.
