Abstract:Resistant hypertension(RH)and refractory hypertension(RfH)refer to the failure or resistance of antihypertensive treatment.The prevalence of RH and RFH is difficult to quantify,but patients are at significantly increased cardiovascular risk.Standardized office blood-pressure measurements,confirmation of medical adherence,search for drug-or substant-induced blood-pressure elevations,drug-drug interactions,genetic polymor-phisms,pharmacometabolomics,ambulatory or home blood-pressure monitoring,and rule out pseudoresistance are warranted.Secondary hypertension was excluded on the basis of further investigations appropriate to clinical data.Lifestyle intervention and reasonable antihypertensive drug therapy are the cornerstone of RH management.If blood pressure is still not under control,device therapy,such as renal artery sympathetic radiofrequency ablation,should be considered.Device therapy such as renal artery sympathetic radiofrequency ablation can be considered,but the indications and safety need to be strictly evaluated.In practice,the management of RH and RfH should be individ-ualized according to the characteristics of patient.

Abstract:Objective To analyze the efficacy of vascular and plaque characteristics of coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)in evaluating myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CHD).Methods The clinical data of 70 patients with suspected or confirmed CHD who underwent invasive coronary angiography(ICA)in Zhangjiakou First Hospital,Hebei Province from November 2021 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent CCTA,ICA and fractional flow reserve(FFR)examination in turn.Myocardial FFR measured by pressure guidewire under ICA guidance was used as the gold standard,and all diseased vessels were divided into the ischemia group(FFR≤0.8)and the non-ischemia group(FFR＞0.8),including 32 patients(37 diseased vessels)in the ischemia group and 38 patients(44 diseased vessels)in the non-ischemia group.The plaque characteristics(plaque burden,non-calcified plaque volume percentage,calcified plaque volume percentage,lesion length,high-risk signs of plaque)and the degree of arterial stenosis in left main coronary artery,anterior descending artery,right coronary artery were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between CCTA stenosis rate,plaque characteristics and myocardial ischemic lesions.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of different indicators for myocardial ischemic lesions.Results The incidences of CT high-risk plaque and napkin ring sign in the ischemia group were higher than those in the non-ischemia group,while the incidences of low-density plaque and positive remodeling were lower than those in the non-ischemia group(all P＜0.05).There was a significant difference in the degree of arterial stenosis between the two groups(Z=9.275,P＜0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of myocardial ischemia included CCTA stenosis rate,lesion length and CT high-risk plaque(odds ratio=3.796,1.029,2.463,respectively;all P＜0.05).The diagnostic efficacy of CCTA(≥50％stenosis)combined with CT high-risk plaque and lesion length was higher than that of CCTA(≥50％stenosis)or ICA(≥50％stenosis)alone(area under the curve:0.715 vs 0.626,0.665,both P＜0.05).Conclusion The predictive factors of myocardial ischemia in CHD include CCTA stenosis rate,lesion length and CT high-risk plaque.The combined application of the three can greatly improve the diagnostic efficiency of myocardial ischemia.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kexin type 9 inhibitor as primary preventive treatment on the occurrence and progression of atherosclerotic plaque in rabbits.Methods Thirty healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were selected and randomly divided into control group,model group and evolocumab group,with 10 rabbits in each group.The control group was fed with normal diet.The model group was fed with high-fat diet and the right carotid artery intima was injured.The evolocumab group was given subcuta-neous injection of evolocumab on the basis of the model group.The peripheral blood of rabbits was collected to detect the lipid levels in each group.The pathological sections of blood vessels in each group were compared.Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate the expression of CD68,CD147 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 in the plaques.Results After 13 weeks of high-fat diet,the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,total cholesterol,and triglyceride in the model group and evolocumab group were higher than those before intervention,and were higher than those in the control group.The levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,total cholesterol,and triglyceride in the model group were higher than those in the evolocumab group[(19.1±1.6)mmol/L vs(11.2±1.3)mmol/L,(22.2±2.4)mmol/L vs(13.1±2.7)mmol/L,(5.8±0.9)mmol/L vs(4.7±0.5)mmol/L](all P＜0.05).There was no plaque formation in the control group,while carotid plaque formation was observed in the model group and the evolocumab group.Macrophages and foam cells were abundant in the intima of the plaque in the model group,large lipid core was seen in the plaque,and the fibrous cap was thin,forming a typical vulnerable plaque.Compared with the model group,the evolocumab group showed more intimal hyperplasia,smaller plaque volume and stenosis,and lower expression of CD 147 and matrix metalloproteinase 9.Conclusions The early intervention of evolocumab can effectively control the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,total cholesterol and triglyceride,significantly reduce the volume of atherosclerotic plaque and the degree of stenosis,reduce the lipid deposition in the plaque,reduce the inflammatory reaction,and make the plaque more stable.It has the significance of primary prevention and treatment in the formation of coronary athero-sclerotic heart disease.

Abstract:Objective To study the effect of robot-assisted internal fixation in the treatment of femoral neck fractures and analyze the related factors of postoperative infection.Methods A total of 93 patients with femoral neck fracture admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from April 2019 to April 2022 were selected.They were randomly divided into control group(46 cases)and observation group(47 cases).The control group was treated with traditional freehand positioning method for internal fixation,and the observation group was treated with robot-assisted internal fixation.The operation related indicators,angle between cannulated screw and femoral neck axis,fracture healing time,Harris hip function score and complications were compared between the two groups.According to the postoperative infection,the patients were divided into infection group and non-infection group.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative infection.Results The intraoperative fluoroscopy time,intraoperative blood loss and the number of guide pin implantation in the observation group were shorter/less than those in the control group[(14±5)s vs(21±5)s,(8.0±3.5)ml vs(10.1±2.4)ml,(4.8±0.8)times vs(11.8±2.4)times](all P＜0.05).The angle between the cannulated screw and the femoral neck axis on the positive and lateral positions in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group,the fracture healing time was shorter than that in the control group,and the Harris hip function score was higher than that in the control group(all P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).There were 34 patients with postoperative infection and 59 patients without infection.The age ≥60 years,preoperative anemia,perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion rate,operation time and drainage tube indwelling time in the infection group were greater/longer than those in the non-infection group(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis results showed that preoperative anemia,perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion,operation time and drainage tube indwelling time were independent influencing factors for postoperative infection in patients with femoral neck fracture(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Robot-assisted internal fixation for femoral neck fractures can achieve more accurate cannulated screw placement and improve the prognosis of patients.Close attention to anemia and allogeneic blood transfusion during the perioperative period can reduce postoperative infection.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the correlation between the ratio of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 to placental growth factor(sFlt-1/PLGF)and vitamin D level with disease severity and pregnancy outcome in preg-nant women with late-onset preeclampsia.Methods The clinical data of 121 patients with late-onset preeclampsia who underwent prenatal examination and delivery in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from July 2021 to December 2023 were collected for a retrospective study.According to the severity of the disease,they were divided into severe group(61 cases)and non-severe group(60 cases).After 34 weeks of pregnancy,serum sFlt-1/PLGF and 25-(OH)-D level were measured,and the pregnancy outcomes of the study subjects,including 24 h urine protein levels,gestational weeks of delivery,and newborn weight,were tracked and recorded.Results The serum sFlt-1/PLGF in the severe group was higher than that in the non-severe group[38.20(21.66,69.22)vs 25.59(16.74,51.54)](P＜0.05).The serum 25-(OH)-D level in the severe group was lower than that in the non-severe group(P＞0.05).The serum sFlt-1/PLGF in severe group was negatively correlated with neonatal weight(r=-0.267,P=0.038)and positively correlated with 24 h urine protein level(r=0.377,P=0.003),but not significantly correlated with gestational age at delivery(P=0.645).Conclusion Compared with patients with non-severe preeclampsia,serum sFlt-1/PLGF in patients with severe preeclampsia is significantly higher,but there is no significant difference in serum vitamin D level between the two groups.In addition,serum sFlt-1/PLGF in patients with severe preeclampsia is positively correlated with 24 h urinary protein level and negatively correlated with neonatal weight,suggesting that serum sFlt-1/PLGF may play a role in the prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes.This study may provide new ideas and methods for early diagnosis and early treatment of preeclampsia.

Abstract:There were significant changes in the composition,function and metabolites of intestinal flora in patients with chronic heart failure.The abundance of Escherichia coli/Shigella,Veillonococcus and Enterobacter increased in the intestinal flora of patients with heart failure.The microbial functions such as tryptamine metabolism,lipid metabolism and lipolysaccharide synthesis were increased,the bacterial genes related to the production of beneficial metabolite butyrate were decreased,and the bacterial genes related to trimethylamine oxide production were significantly increased.Metabolites of intestinal flora,such as trimethylamine oxide,short-chain fatty acids,amino acid derivatives,and bile acids are one of the main ways in which intestinal flora interacts with the host.These metabolites can be absorbed directly into the host circulatory system and then migrate to different organs.Or they can be metabolized by host enzymes to produce signaling molecules that do their job.
