Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor de-escalation and nicorandil therapy in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 300 elderly patients with ACS were selected from the Sixth and Seventh Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Integrative Medicine Emergency Rescue and First Aid Hospital from November 2016 to June 2019,including 153 males and 147 females,aged>65 years old.All the patients received PCI,and all had double antiplatelet therapy(DAPT)scores≥2 and a new DAPT(PRECISE-DAPT)score of≥25.All patients were divided into two groups by random number table method before operation:ticagrelor group(n=146,ticagrelor 180 mg load dose followed by PCI,and ticagrelor 90 mg bid after surgery)and ticagrelor de-escalation + nicorandil group(n=154,ticagrelor 180 mg load dose followed by PCI,ticagrelor 90 mg bid+nicorandil 5 mg tid after surgery,changed to ticagrelor 60 mg bid+ nicorandil 5 mg tid 6 months later).Follow-up was 12 months.The composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction and stroke,the composite end points of mild hemorrhage,minor hemorrhage,other major hemorrhage and major fatal/life-threatening hemorrhage as defined by the PLATO study,and the composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction,stroke and bleeding within 12 months in the two groups were observed.Results The comparison of general baseline data between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).There was also no significant difference in the composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction and stroke between the two groups(P>0.05).The cumulative incidence of bleeding events in ticagrelor de-escalation + nicorandil group was significantly lower than that in ticagrelor group(P<0.05),while the composite end points of cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction,stroke and bleeding were also significantly lower than those in tecagrelor group(P<0.05).Conclusion In elderly patients with ACS,the treatment of ticagrelor de-escalation + nicorandil after PCI may not increase the incidence of ischemic events such as cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction or stroke,and it may reduce the incidence of hemorrhagic events.

Objective To explore the changing patterns of electrocardiogram(ECG)and echocardiography in healthy young people during their descent from high altitude to the plain.Methods A prospective cohort study was carried out.Fifty-five healthy young volunteers who had migrated to an altitude of 4800-5500 m on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau within one year were recruited as the plateau-migration group.ECG examinations were performed at an altitude of 3700 m(first time),on the 5th day after returning to 1300 m(second time),and on the 15th day after returning to 1300 m(third time).Echocardiography was conducted at 3700 m and on the 5th day after returning to 1300 m.A plain control group of 55 healthy youngsters from the plains(1300 m)was matched.The results of ECG and echocardiography between the two groups were compared.Results Intragroup analysis of the plateau-migration group revealed that compared with the first ECG results,the number of normal ECGs decreased in the second and third ECG results(P<0.05),and the proportions of sinus rhythm irregularity,sinus bradycardia,and U-wave appearance increased(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in abnormal ECG results between the second and third ECGs(P>0.05).Compared with plain control group,there was no significant difference in the abnormal results of the first ECG of plateau-migration group(P>0.05).In the second and third ECG results,the number of normal ECGs was significantly reduced,and the proportions of sinus bradycardia,sinus rhythm irregularity,and U-wave appearance were significantly increased compared with plain control group(P<0.001).Intragroup analysis of plateau-migration group revealed that compared with the first ECG,the heart rate decreased in the second and third ECGs(P<0.05 or<0.001).Compared with plain control group,in the first ECG of plateau-migration group,the PR interval was significantly prolonged,the QTc interval was shortened,and the QRS axis degree was increased(P<0.05).In the second ECG,the heart rate significantly decreased,the PR interval was prolonged,and the QTc interval was shortened(P<0.05).In the third ECG,the heart rate decreased,the PR interval was prolonged,the QTc interval was shortened,and the QRS axis degrees was increased(P<0.05).The QRS axis of the first,second,and third ECGs of plateau-migration group was statistically significantly different from that of plain control group(P<0.001).Intragroup analysis of plateau-migration group showed that compared with the first echocardiogram,the left ventricular end-systole diameter,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,and left atrial anteroposterior diameter all significantly increased in the second echocardiogram(P<0.001).Compared with plain control group,in the first echocardiogram of plateau-migration group,the left ventricular end-systole diameter and right atrial transection diameter significantly decreased,the right ventricular transection diameter significantly increased,and the left ventricular fractional shortening rate(FS)significantly decreased(P<0.05);In the second echocardiogram,the left atrial anteroposterior diameter,right atrial transverse diameter,and right ventricular transverse diameter all significantly increased,and FS increased(P<0.05).Conclusions In healthy young people returning from high altitude to the plain,as the altitude decreased,the heart rate significantly drops.The number of people with frontal QRS axis right deviation significantly reduces.The number of normal ECGs significantly decreases,while the numbers of people with sinus bradycardia,sinus arrhythmias,and U-wave appearance significantly increase.During high-altitude stay,the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function is affected to some extent.

Aim To investigate the effect of miR-141-5p/ZNF705A in chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)cell-derived exosome(Exo)on the adhesion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs). Methods The morphology and size of Exo in peripheral blood from CML patients and K562 cells were examined by electron microscopy and NTA particle size analysis. The expressions of Exo and BMSCs marker molecules and adhesion proteins in K562 cells were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot before and after transfection. The adhesion ability of BMSCs was detected by cell adhesion assay, and the cellular activity of BMSCs was examined using CCK-8. miR-141-5p binding to ZNF705A was detected by luciferase assay. Results qRT-PCR results showed that miR-141-5p expression was significantly reduced in both CML patients and K562 cell-derived Exo. qRT-PCR, Western blot and other results showed that BMSCs in CML patients had significantly reduced the expression of adhesion proteins CD44 and CXCL12, and were able to phagocytose K562 cell-derived Exo. Further, K562-derived Exo was found to reduce CD44 and CXCL12 expression and adhesion in Exo-promoted BMSCs compared with CD34+ cells. Meanwhile, the results of dual luciferase reporter assay verified that miR-141-5p targeted binding to ZNF705A. Finally, we found ZNF705A could be targeted by up-regulating miR-141-5p expression in Exo of K562 cells, which in turn inhibited the adhesion of BMSCs. Conclusions K562 cells down-regulate miR-141-5p expression in Exo and inhibit the adhesion function of BMSCs by targeting ZNF705A, thus regulating the bone marrow hematopoietic function in CML patients.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) genotypes and regional distribution of Yersinia pestis strains in the natural plague foci of Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province (referred to as "Hainan prefecture") and provide a scientific basis for plague prevention and control in this area. Methods　A total of 36 representative Yersinia pestis strains, which were isolated from different host animals and insect vectors from 1954 to 2009 in Hainan Prefecture, were selected as experimental subjects. The DNAs were extracted using the traditional sodium dodecyl sulfate decomposition and phenol-chloroform method. Three pairs of CRISPR primers (YPa, Ypb, YPc) were used for PCR amplification, sequencing and analysis of the DNA of the tested strains, respectively, as a means to identify the CRISPR genotypes of Yersinia pestis in Hainan Prefecture. Results　A total of 17 spacers were observed among 36 strains of Yersinia pestis, including 9 of YPa, 5 of YPb and 3 of YPc. All strains were divided into 5 CRISPR gene clusters (Cb2, Cb4 ', Ca7, Ca7 ', Ca35 ') and 6 genotypes (G1, G9, G22, G22-A1 ', G26-A1 ', G26-A1 'A4 -). The G26-a1 ' was the main genotype, which was distributed in Gonghe, Guide and Xinghai County, and the G22 is the second type, which was distributed in Gonghe and Guide County. Conclusions　The genetic polymorphism of CRISPR loci of Yersinia pestis strains in Hainan was high, and the regional distribution characteristics of Yersinia pestis strains with different genotypes were significant.
