Objective To investigate the predictive value of PCSK9 gene rs562556 polymorphism for major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicated by acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 97 patients were involved in this study with T2DM complicated by AMI,who underwent PCI at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University between January 2019 and December 2021.Based on MACE occurrence during a 2-year follow-up period,patients were divided into non-MACE group and MACE group(n=57 and 40,respectively).Clinical biochemical parameters,including blood glucose and lipid levels,were recorded.Plasma PCSK9 levels were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Plasma PCSK9 gene rs562556 polymorphism was detected through sequencing.Kaplan-Meier curve analysis was performed to assess how rs562556 polymorphism impacts MACE incidence post-PCI.Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify independent MACE-associated risk factors.ROC curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of rs562556 poly-morphism and key clinical variables for MACE occurrence post-PCI.Results Compared to the non-MACE group,patients in the MACE group exhibited significantly higher age,heart rate,creatinine,NT-proBNP,LDL-C,and plasma PCSK9 levels,along with higher hyper-tension and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease prevalence,and lower diastolic blood pressure(all P＜0.05).In patients with T2DM and AMI,the rs562556 genotype AA of the PCSK9 gene positively correlated with plasma PSCK9 levels(r=0.61,P＜0.000 1).The frequen-cies of the rs562556 genotype AA and allele A were significantly higher in the MACE compared to the non-MACE group(P＜0.05).The AA genotype of the PCSK9 gene rs562556 was associated with an increased risk of MACE during follow-up in patients with T2DM and AMI(P＜0.05).After adjusting for other confounding variables,advanced age,increased NT-proBNP and PCSK9 levels,and the rs562556 AA genotype were identified as independent risk factors for MACE post-PCI in this patient population.Combined analysis of these factors demonstrated superior predictive value for MACE occurrence compared to individual markers.Conclusion The PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype AA is associated with a significantly increased risk of MACE within two years post-PCI in patients with T2DM and AMI,sug-gesting that it could serve as a promising predictive biomarker for post-PCI MACE in the given population.

Objective:To analyze the association between the rs562556 polymorphism of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9)gene and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in the patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 200 patients diagnosed with AMI from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as AMI group,and 200 healthy individuals during the same period were selected as control group.According to the Gensini scoring standard,the patients in AMI group were divided into low risk group(Gensini score≤40,n=78)and medium-high risk group(Gensini score>40,n=122).The levels of lipid metabolism indicators in serum of the patients in two groups were detected by fully automatic biochemical analyzer;enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method was used to detect the PCSK9 levels in serum of the patients in two groups;ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to detect the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)of PCSK9 gene of the patients in two groups;Spearman correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation between the rs562556 polymorphism of the PCSK9 gene and the degree of the disease and the levels of lipid metabolism indicators in serum of the patients.Results:Compared with control group,the percentage of smokers of the patients in AMI group was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-c)and PCSK9 in serum of the patients in AMI group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with low risk group,the levels of LDL-c and PCSK9 in serum of the patients in medium-high risk group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The distribution of PCSK9 gene rs1800487 genotype in both control and AMI groups conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg(H-W)equilibrium(χ2=0.677,P=0.713;χ2=0.970,P=0.831).Compared with control group,the distribution frequencies of PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype AA and allele A of the patients in AMI group were significantly increased(P<0.05).In the AMI patients,the distribution of PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype in both low risk and medium-high risk groups conformed to the H-W equilibrium(χ2=0.045,P=0.978;χ2=1.290,P=0.525).Compared with low risk group,the distribution frequencies of genotype AA and allele A of PCSK9 gene rs562556 of the patients in medium-high risk group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype AA was positively correlated with the degree of AMI(r=0.193,P=0.006)and LDL-c level(r=0.301,P<0.01).Allele A was positively correlated with the LDL-c level(r=0.168,P=0.017).Conclusion:The PCSK9 gene rs562556 genotype AA is positively correlated with the degree of coronary artery stenosis of the AMI patients,and its polymorphism may promote the development of AMI by upregulating the LDL-c level.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Xuebijing injection combined with imipenem and cilasta-tion in the treatment of severe abdominal infection,and its effects on plasma endotoxin and inflammatory factors. METHODS:Dur-ing Apr. 2013-Apr. 2016,100 patients with severe abdominal infection in our hospital were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 50 cases in each group. Both groups were given Imipenem and cilastation sodium for injection 0.5 g added into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 500 mL,ivgtt(≥40 min),q12 h. Eight hours later,ob-servation group was additionally given Xuebijing injection 100 mL added into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 500 mL,ivgtt, bid;Both groups were treated for 5-7 d. The levels of plasma endotoxin and inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-6,IL-6/IL-10) were compared in 2 groups before after treatment,and clinical efficacies and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in plasma endotoxin or inflammatory factor levels between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,plasma endotoxin and inflammatory factor levels of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the obser-vation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The excellent and good rate of observation group was 98.00%,which was significantly higher than 78.00%,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvi-ous ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Xuebijing injection combined with imipenem and cilastation show significant therapeutic efficacy for severe abdominal infection,can effectively control the release of endotoxin and inflammatory factors with good safety.
