Objective To evaluate the role of quantitative flow ratio(QFR)in percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)by using regadenoson stress dynamic single-photon emission computed tomography(D-SPECT).Methods We selected 200 patients with unstable angina admitted to Department of Cardiology,Hebei Medical University First Hospital,from June 31,2021 to June 31,2023 for elective PCI.The patients were aged 57.56±8.23 years and were randomly divided into a conventional group(n=100)and a QFR group(n=100)according to a random number table.The trial was conducted using a double-blind method.The conventional group received PCI treatment based on the experience of the physician,while the QFR group received PCI treatment based on the QFR measurement results.All enrolled patients underwent pre-operative and 7-day post-operative D-SPECT stress imaging using regadenoson stress D-SPECT,and their images were acquired from short axis,vertical long axis,and horizontal long axis to calculate the total myocardial perfusion score and the total myocardial ischemia segment number under the distribution of 17 myocardial segments.Results There was no significant difference in the number of myocardial ischemia segments(7.59±3.14 vs.7.48±3.36,P=0.811)or the total myocardial perfusion score(15.87±7.61 vs.15.63±5.97,P=0.860)between the two groups before PCI.The number of myocardial ischemia segments(5.58±3.36 vs.6.51±2.14,P=0.020)and the total myocardial perfusion score(10.55±4.41 vs.12.96±6.50,P=0.002)in the QFR group were significantly better than those in the conventional group 7 days after PCI(P＜0.05).Conclusion Applying QFR guidance for PCI can better improve the degree of myocardial ischemia in patients.

Objective To analyze the effect of Hedysari Radix Chinese herbal pieces treatment in acute inferior myocardial infarction patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 200 patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction undergoing emergency PCI admitted to department of cardiology of Shijiazhuang People's Hospital from March 31,2020 to March 31,2023 were selected as the study objects.The patients were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group according to a digital random table method.The control group received routine treatment after PCI,and the patients drank 500 mL of warm water in the morning and afternoon every day,continuing this regimen for up to 30 days post-surgery.The treatment group took 10 g of Hedysari Radix Chinese Herbal pieces in 500 mL of boiling water in the morning and afternoon,soaking it and drinking it coolly and temperately,continuing to take it until 30 days after surgery.Blood pressure,Dopamine dosage,and duration were observed in all patients on 1-5 days after surgery.Major adverse cardiovascular event(MACE),such as cardiac death,myocardial infarction,heart failure,and re-admission were tracked in all patients within 30 days,and adverse reactions and clinical symptom improvement were followed up,using the somatic self-rating scale(SSS).Results The total Dopamine dose in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group(mg:960.4±287.9 vs.1 160.4±610.5,P<0.05),and the duration of use was significantly shorter than that in the control group(hours:60.7±16.9 vs.71.6±20.4,P<0.05).The systolic blood pressure in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 1 day after PCI[mmHg(1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa):96.8±19.5 vs.90.2±11.1,P<0.05],until 5 days after PCI(mmHg:106.3±14.4 vs.99.7±13.9,P<0.05),while the changes in diastolic blood pressure were not significant in both groups.The incidence of MACE in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group within 30 days after PCI[4.0%(4/100)vs.13.0%(13/100),P<0.05],and the SSS score was also significantly lower than that in the control group(31.56±11.58 vs.40.72±18.67,P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of Hedysari Radix Chinese herbal pieces treatment can significantly improve clinical efficacy without significant adverse reactions.

Objective This study utilized regadenoson stress D-SPECT to evaluate the impact of remote ischemic precondi-tioning combined with adenosine injection in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)using D-SPECT imaging.Methods Three hundred patients requiring coronary angiography and stent implantation were randomly assigned into two groups utilizing the random number table method.The conventional treatment group(150 patients)and the experimental group(150 patients)received standard treatment for coronary heart disease PCI.The experimental group underwent two sessions of remote ischemic precon-ditioning on the day of PCI,wherein the left and right upper arms were inflated to 200 mmHg with continuous pressure for 5 minutes using a blood pressure cuff.Additionally,during the PCI procedure,adenosine was administered to the experimental group at a rate of 50 μg/(kg·min)until the end of the procedure,with other treatments aligning with the conventional treatment group.Each patient received a coronary SYNTAXⅡscore.Resting D-SPECT and regadenoson stress D-SPECT were employed to evaluate total myocardial perfusion score,total myocardial ischemia segments,and left ventricular ejection fraction across 17 segment distributions before and 7 days after PCI.Results Before PCI,the differences in the number of myocardial ischemic segments,total myocardial perfusion score,and left ven-tricular ejection fraction between the two patient groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).However,7 days post-PCI,compared with the conventional treatment group,the experimental group exhibited significantly improved numbers of myocardial ischemic segments,total myocardial perfusion score,and left ventricular ejection fraction(P<0.05).Furthermore,the differences in adverse drug reactions between the two patient groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion The combined application of remote ischemic preconditioning and adenosine injection in patients undergoing PCI is deemed safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the role of Power Arm in en-masse retraction of maxillary anterior teeth using clear aligner (CA) and micro-implant anchorage (MIA). Methods The three-dimensional (3D) model of maxillary anterior teeth by combined use of CA and MIA was established, and the 6 mm-height Power Arm, was attached to the canine or appliance. The initial displacement and the maximum von Mises stress of periodontal ligament under three loading conditions were analyzed, namely the force was loaded by CA+150 g retraction force at canine, CA+150 g retraction force on Power Arm at appliance, CA+150 g retraction force on Power Arm at canine. Results In sagittal direction, the crown and root displacement difference of maxillary central incisor was 129, 129, 133 μm，respectively. The crown displacement of the maxillary first molar was -23.3, -23.5, -26.8 μm, respectively. The maximum von Mises stress of periodontal ligament in central incisor was 48.4, 72.6, 40.0 kPa, respectively, and that of the first molar was 5.3, 10.5, 5.8 kPa, respectively. Conclusions It can not be testified that retraction of the 6 mm-height Power Arm at canine or appliance with 5 mm-height mini-screw has more advantages than retraction of the canine directly for more favorably controlling the torque of incisors, saving anchorage of posterior teeth and decreasing von Mises stress of the periodontal ligament.
