Background::A phase II trial on recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA) has previously shown its preliminary efficacy in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. This study was designed as a pivotal postmarketing trial to compare its efficacy and safety with rrecombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator alteplase (rt-PA) in Chinese patients with STEMI.Methods::In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial, patients with acute STEMI were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an intravenous bolus of 16 mg rhTNK-tPA or an intravenous bolus of 8 mg rt-PA followed by an infusion of 42 mg in 90 min. The primary endpoint was recanalization defined by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 2 or 3. The secondary endpoint was clinically justified recanalization. Other endpoints included 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and safety endpoints.Results::From July 2016 to September 2019, 767 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive rhTNK-tPA ( n = 384) or rt-PA ( n = 383). Among them, 369 patients had coronary angiography data on TIMI flow, and 711 patients had data on clinically justified recanalization. Both used a –15% difference as the non-inferiority efficacy margin. In comparison to rt-PA, both the proportion of patients with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow (78.3% [148/189] vs. 81.7% [147/180]; differences: –3.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: –11.5%, 4.8%) and clinically justified recanalization (85.4% [305/357] vs. 85.9% [304/354]; difference: –0.5%; 95% CI: –5.6%, 4.7%) in the rhTNK-tPA group were non-inferior. The occurrence of 30-day MACCEs (10.2% [39/384] vs. 11.0% [42/383]; hazard ratio: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.61, 1.50) did not differ significantly between groups. No safety outcomes significantly differed between groups. Conclusion::rhTNK-tPA was non-inferior to rt-PA in the effect of improving recanalization of the infarct-related artery, a validated surrogate of clinical outcomes, among Chinese patients with acute STEMI.Trial registration::www.ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT02835534).

Objective:To automatically classify hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) based on mul-titask learning algorithm using native T1 mapping images.Methods:A total of 203 patients admitted to Ren Ji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2017 to December 2021 were enrolled, including 53 patients with HHD, 121 patients with HCM, and 29 patients with normal control (NC). Native T1 mapping images of all enrolled patients were acquired using MRI and processed by a multi-task learning algorithm. The classification performance of each model was validated using ten-fold crossover, confusion matrix, and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves. The Resnet 50 model based on the original images was established as a control.Results:The ten-fold crossover validation results showed that the MTL-1 024, MTL-64, and MTL-all models showed better performance in terms of area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity compared to the Resnet 50 model. In the classification task, the MTL-64 model showed the best performance in terms of AUC (0.942 1), while the MTL-all model reached the highest value in terms of accuracy (0.852 2). In the segmentation task, the MTL-64 model achieved the best results with the Dice coefficient (0.879 7). The confusion matrix plot showed that the MTL model outperforms the Resnet 50 model based on the original image in terms of overall performance. The ROC graphs of all MTL models were significantly higher than the original image input Resnet 50 model.Conclusions:Multi-task learning-based native T1 mapping images are effective for automatic classification of HHD and HCM.

Pulmonary hypertension(PH)is a progressive disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling.Current treatments for PH remain suboptimal,and there is an urgent need to better decipher the underlying pathomechanisms to identify new therapeutic targets.MicroRNA(miRNA)are key components in the post-transcriptional machinery that mediates cellular functions and mainly act by regulating the expression of downstream target genes.Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the involvement of miRNA and their regulators in PH development.However,there is no unified model for the mechanism of miRNA's regulation of pulmonary vascular remodeling.Therefore,this article provides a review on the mechanisms of miRNA in PH characterized in recent years.

Digestive tract tumors are currently one of the most common types of cancer,including esophageal cancer,gastric cancer,hepatocellular carcinoma,pancreatic cancer,and colorectal cancer.Their prognoses are poor and the treatments require further improvement.Caveolin-1(CAV1)has a dual regulatory effect on digestive tract tumors as a tumor suppressor and cancer promoter.CAV 1 plays a major role in cell proliferation,invasion,metastasis,angiogenesis,and drug tolerance of digestive tract tumors.The regulation of CAV1 protein and its related signaling pathways may be a strategy for the treatment of digestive tract tumors.This review analyzes the relationship between CAV 1 and digestive tract tumors in terms of structure,function,expression regulation,regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition,and drug resistance in digestive tract tumors to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract tumors.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia,myelodysplasia-related(AML-MR)patients and evaluate their prognostic risk stratification,to guide clinical treatment decisions and improve understanding of the biological characteristics and disease progression.Methods:The study analyzed cellular and molecular genetic information of 307 AML-MR patients,diagnosed based on clinical history,bone marrow morphology,cytogenetics,and molecular genetic abnormalities.The risk stratification followed the 2022 ELN guidelines.Results:57 cases(18.6％)met the AML-MR diagnostic criteria based on morphology and clinical history,110 cases(37.2％)met the AML-MR diagnostic criteria based on cytogenetic results,and 210 cases(74.5％)met the AML-MR diagnostic criteria based on molecular testing results.Among different type of mutations,ASXL1 mutation was the most frequent,followed by SRSF2 and BCOR mutations.Except for 2 cases with incomplete data that could not be classified.263(86.2％)of the 305 patients were classified as poor prognosis,20(6.6％)were classified as good prognosis group,and 22(7.2％)were classified as intermediate prognosis group.Conclusion:Molecular genetic information plays a crucial role in diagnosing AML-MR,highlighting the importance of genetics in diagnosis and prognosis.Most AML-MR patients fall into poor prognosis categories,necessitating early intensive and targeted therapy for better survival outcomes.
