    Abstract: Observational studies suggest an association between blood pressure (BP) and functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients but whether this is causal or due to confounding is uncertain. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causality, and also explore whether particular classes of anti-hypertensives were associated with a better outcome after ischemic stroke. Methods: We selected genetic variants associated with systolic and diastolic BP and BP-lowering variants in genes encoding antihypertensive drugs from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on 757,601 individuals. The primary outcome was 3-month dependence or death defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 3–6. The secondary outcome was disability or death after 90 days defined as mRS 2–6. Cochran’s Q statistic in the inverse variance weighted (IVW) model, the weighted median, MR-Egger regression, leave-one-single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-out analysis, MR-Pleiotropy Residual Sum and Outlier methods were adopted as sensitivity analyses. To validate our primary results, we performed independent repeat analyses and Bi-directional MR analyses. Results: Genetic predisposition to higher systolic and diastolic BP was associated with disability or death after ischemic stroke in univariable IVW MR analysis (odds ratio (OR) 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05–1.59, p = 0.014; OR 1.27, 95% CI: 1.07–1.51, p = 0.006, respectively). Pulse pressure was associated with both dependence or death and disability or death after ischemic stroke (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02–1.08, p = 0.002; OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.01–1.07, p = 0.009, respectively). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and calcium channel blocker (CCB) were significantly associated with improved functional outcomes (dependence or death, OR 0.76, 95% CI: 0.62–0.94, p = 0.009; OR 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83–0.97, p = 0.005). Proxies for β-blockers, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), and thiazides failed to show associations with functional outcomes ( p  〉  0.05). Conclusion: We provide evidence for an association of genetic predisposition to higher BP with a higher risk of 3-month functional dependence after ischemic stroke. Our findings support ACEI and CCB as promising antihypertensive drugs for improving functional outcomes in ischemic stroke.

    Abstract: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) has been reported to be correlated with long-term outcomes after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. However, to our knowledge, only a few studies have shown that the PNI is related to cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between the PNI and long-term outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods This was retrospective observational study. A total of 3561 patients with CAD after PCI were retrospectively enrolled in the CORFCHD-ZZ study from January 2013 to December 2017. The patients (3519) were divided into three groups according to PNI tertiles: the first tertile (PNI  〈  47.12, n = 1173), the second tertile (47.12 ≤ PNI  〈  51.50, n = 1185), and the third tertile (PNI ≥ 51.50, n = 1161). The mean follow-up time was 37.59 ± 22.24 months. The primary endpoint long-term mortality, including all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM).Secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Result In our study, the incidences of ACM in the first, second, and third tertiles were 3.8%, 1.8% and 1.4%, respectively ( P  〈  0.001). The incidences of CM occurring in the first, second, and third tertiles were 1.7%, 3.1% and 2.1%, respectively ( P  〈  0.001).There was statistically significant different in primary endpoints incidence. MACEs occurred in 139 patients (11.8%) in the first tertile, 121 patients(11.1%) in the second tertile and 123 patients(10.8%) in the third tertile( P = 0.691). MACCEs occurred in 183 patients (15.6%) in the first tertile, 174 patients(14.7%) in the second tertile and 160 patients(13.85%) in the third tertile( P = 0.463).There was no statistically significant different in secondary endpoints incidence. Kaplan–Meier analyses showed that elevated PNI was significantly related to long-term CM (log rank, P   〈  0.001) and long-term ACM (log-rank, P   〈  0.001). Cox regression analyses suggested that compared with the patients in the first tertile, the risk of ACM was decreased to 60.9% (HR = 0.609, 95% CI: 0.398–0.932, P = 0.029) in the second tertile and 40.3%(HR = 0.403, 95% CI: 0.279–0.766, P = 0.003) in the third tertile, while the risk of CM was decreased to 58.8%(HR = 0.588, 95% CI: 0.321–0.969, P = 0.038) in the second tertile and 46.6%(HR = 0.466, 95% CI: 0.250–0.870, P = 0.017) in the third tertile. Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that the PNI was an independent predictor of long-term ACM and CM. Conclusion Our finding shown that PNI is an independent predictor in CAD patients after PCI,the higher the PNI, the less occurring adverse event. Therefore,PNI may be an new biomarker to predict long-term outcome of CAD patients after PCI.

    Abstract: Monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) has been confirmed as a novel marker of poor prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CAD). However, the prognosis value of MLR for patients with CAD after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) needs further studies. In present study, we aimed to investigate the correlation between MLR and long-term prognosis in patients with CAD after PCI. A total of 3,461 patients with CAD after PCI at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in the analysis. According to the cutoff value of MLR, all of the patients were divided into 2 groups: the low-MLR group ( 〈 0.34, n = 2338) and the high-MLR group (≥0.34, n = 1123). Kaplan–Meier curve was performed to compare the long-term outcome. Multivariate COX regression analysis was used to assess the independent predictors for all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality and MACCEs. Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the high MLR group had significantly increased all-cause mortality (ACM) [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.366, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.366-3.650, p = 0.001] and cardiac mortality (CM) (HR = 2.379, 95%CI: 1.611-3,511, p 〈 0.001) compared to the low MLR group. And high MLR was also found to be highly associated with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) (HR = 1.227, 95%CI: 1.003-1.500, p = 0.047) in patients with CAD undergoing PCI. MLR was an independent predictor of ACM, CM and MACCEs in CAD patients who underwent PCI.

    Abstract: To analyze the association between hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Predicted glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level was calculated using an established formula and HGI represented the difference between laboratory measured HbA1c and predicted HbA1c. A total of 1780 patients were stratified into three subgroups (HGI 〈 −0.4, −0.4 ≦ HGI 〈 0.12 and HGI ≧ 0.12). The primary endpoints included all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM). The secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs). Results ACM occurred in 54 patients: 22 (3.7) in the low-HGI subgroup, 8 (1.3) in the moderate-HGI subgroup and 24 (4.1) in the high-HGI subgroup ( p = .012). After adjusting for the traditional clinical prognostic factors, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients in both the low and high HGI subgroups had significantly increased risk of ACM as compared with patients in the moderate HGI subgroup (hazard ratio [ HR] = 4.979, 95% confidence interval [ CI] : 1.865–13.297, p = .001 and HR = 2.918, 95% CI: 1.075–7.922, p = .036). However, we did not find significant differences in the incidence of CM, MACEs and MACCEs. Conclusion HGI can predicts risk for long-term mortality in patients undergoing PCI. This index could be helpful for the effective clinical management of the CAD population.

    Abstract: The role of activation of the coagulation and fibrinolysis system in the pathogenesis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has drawn wide attention. Recently, the D-dimer to fibrinogen ratio (DFR) is considered as a useful biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of ischemic stroke and pulmonary embolism. However, few studies have explored the relationship between DFR and cardiovascular disease. In our study, patients were divided into 2 groups according to DFR value: the lower group (DFR 〈 0.52, n = 2123) and the higher group (DFR ≥ 0.52, n = 1073). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiac mortality (CM). The average follow-up time was 37.59 ± 22.24 months. We found that there were significant differences between the 2 groups in term of ACM (2.4% vs 6.6%, P 〈 0.001) and CM (1.5% vs 4.0%, P 〈 0.001). Kaplan–Meier analyses showed that elevated DFR had higher incidences of ACM (log rank P 〈 0.001) and CM (log rank P 〈 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that DFR was an independent predictor of ACM (HR = 1.743, 95%CI: 1.187-2.559 P = 0.005) and CM (HR = 1.695, 95%CI: 1.033-2.781 P = 0.037). This study indicates that DFR is an independent and novel predictor of long-term ACM and CM in post-PCI patients with CAD.

    Abstract: Genome-wide association studies have recently shown that the rs12979860 polymorphism in IL28B is associated with the response to chronic hepatitis C treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate whether rs12979860 could be used as a predictive marker for end-of-treatment response (ETR) or sustained virological response (SVR) in the Chinese Han population. Methods The rs12979860 genotype was detected in 259 individuals infected with HCV by DNA sequencing. Among them, 120 patients were administered complete pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin combination therapy and 92 patients were followed for 24 weeks after the cessation of treatment and were divided into different groups according to outcomes of treatment. Results The rs12979860 genotype CC was the primary genotype (87.64%, 227/259) and genotype TT was found in only one individual within this cohort. The patients with the rs12979860 genotype CC had higher rates of ETR ( P=0.0044) and SVR ( P=0.0046) than the patients with N-CC (CT or TT). In multivariate analyses, the rs12979860 genotype CC was associated with a substantial difference in rates of achieving ETR (odds ratio [OR] 8.983, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.173–37.145; P=0.0024) and SVR (OR 24.298, 95% CI 2.27–259.90; P=0.0083). Conclusions This study demonstrated for the first time that the rs12979860 variation in IL28B could be a predictor of ETR and SVR in Chinese Han patients infected with HCV. The high frequency of the rs12979860 genotype CC might explain why the SVR rate is higher than that of the average global population.

    Abstract: Previous evidences have been proved that age, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and ejection fraction are tightly associated with the long-term outcomes in patients suffered from coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the prognosis value of age, NT-proBNP, and ejection fraction (ABEF) score in CAD patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Observational cohort methodology was used in this study which enrolled totally 3561 patients. And the patients were followed up regularly for 37.59 ± 22.24 months. Patients were classed into three groups based on the tertiles of ABEF sore: first tertile ( 〈 5.06, n = 831), second tertile (5.06-6.25, n = 839), and third tertile (≥ 6.25, n = 834). The ABEF score was calculated as follows: age (years)/ejection fraction (%) + NT-proBNP (NT-proBNP 〈 177pg/mL was 1, 177≤NT-proBNP≥524pg/mL was 2 and NT-proBNP  〉  524pg/mL is 3). The association between ABEF score and adverse prognosis, including all-cause death (ACD), cardiac death (CD), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), in patients who underwent PCI was analyzed. Results According to the risk category of ABEF score, the incidences of ACD ( P  〈  .001), CD ( P  〈  .001) and MACCEs ( P = .021) among the three groups showed significant differences. Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that the respective risks of ACD and CD were increased 3.013 folds (hazard risk [HR] = 4.013 [95% confidence interval [CI] : 1.922-8.378], P  〈  .001) and 4.922 folds ([HR] = 5.922 [95% [CI] : 2.253-15.566], P  〈  .001) in the third tertile compared with those in the first tertile. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses showed that the cumulative risks of ACD,CD and MACCEs in patients with the high ABEF score tended to increase. Conclusion The present study indicated ABEF score was a novel biomarker suitable for predicting adverse prognosis in patients after PCI, which may be used for early recognition and risk stratification.

    Abstract: With increasing incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases and implant-related infections, there is growing demand for vascular patches that can promote endothelialization and resist bacterial infection. In this work, we immobilized sodium triphosphate–capped silver nanoparticles onto a polyurethane film to obtain a composite film and evaluated its in vitro biocompatibility. Subsequently, we anchored sodium triphosphate–capped silver nanoparticles onto a polyurethane-coated decellularized scaffold to prepare a vascular patch and investigated its in vivo performance in a mouse model. The prepared vascular patch demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. It still maintained the surgical artery patency at 30 days after implantation. At the same time, the endothelialization at the surgical site was achieved, showing its ability to facilitate endothelialization. Therefore, it may be a promising candidate for combating bacterial infection and treating diseased blood vessels.
