The end points included patency rates on catheterization laboratory (cath lab) arrival, revascularization results when PCI was performed, complication rates, left ventricular function and restored patency rate following PCI. Results Patency on cath lab arrival was 64% with rt PA (34% TIMI 3,30% TIMI 2), while 31% of placebo (13% TIMI 3, 18% TIMI 2). There was no difference in the restored TIMI 3 rates of IRA between the two groups (85% vs 87%). No difference were observed in stroke or major bleeding. Left ventricular function was similar in both groups (52±9% vs 50±8%), but left ventricular ejection fraction fraction (LVEF) was higher with patent IRA (TIMI 3) on cath lab arrival than that of others (56±12% vs 48±10%).Conclusions Strategy thrombolytic regimens were compatible with subsequent PCI lead to more frequenc early recanalization (before cath lab arrival), which facilitates greater left ventricular function preservation with no augmentation of adverse events.展开更多
Objective Comparative study on the feasibility,safety and outcome of transradial artery and transfemoral artery access for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction(...Objective Comparative study on the feasibility,safety and outcome of transradial artery and transfemoral artery access for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Two hundred and eight patients with AMI episoded within 12 hours, male 159, female 49, age 58.9 ±11.9 (34～88)years, were randomly divided into transradial artery access for primary PCI (TRA pPCI) group of 106 cases and transfemoral artery access for PCI (TFA pPCI) group of 102 cases during Sept, 2000 to Aug, 2002. The protocols of the manipulation duration and the effect for TRA pPCI and TFA pPCI procedures were respectively compared, including the time of transradial artery puncture and the rate of puncture success at first time ; the time of guiding catheter engaging into target coronary ostium; the rate of patence in infarct related artery (IRA); total duration of manipulation and the successful rate.The incidence of complications such as bleeding, vessel injury,thrombi and embolism as well as the average stay of hospitalization between two groups was compared. The status and the incidance of vessel spasm were observed and the effect of medicine administration to prevent from and relieve the vascular spasm was evaluated. The time of Allen’s test before and after TRA pPCI , the inner diameter and the peak of blood velocity of the right and left radial artery were investigated with color Doppler vessel echography as well as the complications of radial artery were followed up 1 month after TRA pPCI procedure. Results Two cases in every TRA pPCI and TFA pPCI groups were crossed over each other because procedure of the transradial or transfemoral access was failure. One handred and six vessels (48 vessels in LAD,22 vessels in LCX and 36 vessels in RCA) associated with 28 vessels of total occlusion in TRA pPCI group and 102 vessels (51 vessels in LAD,18 veesles in LCX and 33 vessels in RCA) with 24 vessels in total occlusion in TFA pPCI group were angioplasticized . The successful rates of the first time puncture in access artery, the re patence IRA and pPCI were similar in TRA pPCI and TFA pPCI groups ( 93.4% vs 96.1% ;100% vs 100%; 96.2% vs 97.1% , P >0.05 ). There were no significant diffierence in the average time of puncture time of access artery ,engaging in target vessels of guiding catheters and the total procedure of PCI between the two groups ( 1.3 ±0.3s vs 1.2 ±0.3s ; 6.0 ±1.6min vs 5.8 ±0.9min ; 49.2 ±24.1min vs 46.5 ± 26.4min , P >0.05 ). The access artery complications such as bleeding ,hematoma and embolism as well the veneous thrombosis in TFA pPCI group were much more than those in TRA pPCI group(p< 0.01 ). Although slight artery spasm of 4.7% cases in TRA pPCI group was happened during the procedure of PCI , the procedure had being continued after administration of medicine to release the spasm. The time of Allen’s test ,diameter and the systolic velocity of blood in daul radial arteries were no significant change before and after pPCI.Conclusions The duration and effect by TRA pPCI for AMI with stable hemodynamics was similar to TFA pPCI. The complications such as of bleeding,vessel injury, thrombi and embolism by TRA pPCI were few, and it was unnecessary to discontinue the anticoagulation medicine. TRA pPCI might be selected as a access vessel for pPCI in AMI patients with stable hemodynamics.展开更多

Their main application lies in the field of building materials due to some containing cementitious components, such as dicalcium silicate (C2S) and tricalcium silicate (C3S) (Waligora et al., 2010). However, blended cements with steelmaking slag show low early hydration activity, low compressive strength and bad durability because steel slag generates above 1600 ℃ with the tense and large grain size crystals, consisting of low content of C2S and C3S and high proportions of f-CaO and f-MgO compared with cement clinker.展开更多

The radio of ulnar artery versus radial artery was 1.35:1.00 and the time of Allen’s test in ulnar artery side was shorter than that in radial artery side ( 2.70 ±0.36 s vs 4.68 ±0.52s , P <0.05 ) before PCI. The efficiency of PCI TRU was evaluated. The time of manipulative duration for each procedure of PCI TRU was recorded. The time of Allen’s test, luminal diameter (mm) , cross area of vessel lumin (mm 2), blood velocity (Vs max), blood resistance (RI) in ulnar artery and radial artery and the level of blood oxygen in finger (PaO 2、SatO 2) were measured and recorded , respectively , as well were compared quantitatively before and after 1 month of procedure . Results Fourty eight lesion segments of 42 vessels in all patients were angioplasticized successfully via TRU by 6F guiding catheter including 23 segments of type B1 , 14 segments of type B2 and 11 segments of type C. PCI TRU in all of 40 patients was performed successfully. Fourty eight stents were implanted including 2 lesions of intrastent restenosis angioplasticized with cutting balloon technique before re stenting . The average time of manipulative duration of guiding catheters engaging in osicum of target coronary, crossing the vessel lesions of guidewire, dilatation and implantation of stents,and under X ray fluoroscopy were 4.30 ±0.59 min , 2.52 ±0.40min , 2.66 ±0.40 min ,and 25.9 ±0.49 min , respectively, and the total time of the whole procedure was 56.6 ±14.8 min . When the ulnar introducer was taken off, the access site in ulnar artery was suppressed by tourniquet with no bleeding in the access site and no limitation of physical activation under maintaining infusion of heparin immediately after procedure . There was no significant change in the diameter of ulnar artery and the time of Allen’s test after 1 month of PCI procedure as compared with those before procedure ( 3.22 ±0.48mm vs 3.26 ±0.22 mm , P >0.05 ; 2.96 ±0.98 s vs 2.72 ±0.47 s , P >0.05 ). No significant change was found in the parameters of blood velocity , cross area of vessel lumin, blood resistance and the level of blood oxygen in finger after 1 month of PCI procedure. The average total hospital stay was 5.21 ±0.43 days. Following up 1 month, no complications such as occlusion of ulnar artery, abnormal sensitivity and movement disability were found in right hands in all patients.Conclusions The ulnar artery might be selected as one approach of antebrachial artery for PCI in the patients with coronary heart disease whose radial artery was difficulty as access vessels of PCI, while reversed Allen’s test for radial and ulnar artery are positive and the luminal diameter of ulnar artery was larger than that of radial artery.展开更多

文摘Objective This study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short acting reduced dose fibrinolytic regimen to promote early infarct related artery (IRA) patency for acyute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods Following aspirin and heparin, 166 patients were randomized to a 50 mg bolus of recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator(rt PA) or to a same volume sodium chloride injection followed by immediate primary PCI. The end points included patency rates on catheterization laboratory (cath lab) arrival, revascularization results when PCI was performed, complication rates, left ventricular function and restored patency rate following PCI. Results Patency on cath lab arrival was 64% with rt PA (34% TIMI 3,30% TIMI 2), while 31% of placebo (13% TIMI 3, 18% TIMI 2). There was no difference in the restored TIMI 3 rates of IRA between the two groups (85% vs 87%). No difference were observed in stroke or major bleeding. Left ventricular function was similar in both groups (52±9% vs 50±8%), but left ventricular ejection fraction fraction (LVEF) was higher with patent IRA (TIMI 3) on cath lab arrival than that of others (56±12% vs 48±10%).Conclusions Strategy thrombolytic regimens were compatible with subsequent PCI lead to more frequenc early recanalization (before cath lab arrival), which facilitates greater left ventricular function preservation with no augmentation of adverse events.
文摘Objective Comparative study on the feasibility,safety and outcome of transradial artery and transfemoral artery access for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Two hundred and eight patients with AMI episoded within 12 hours, male 159, female 49, age 58.9 ±11.9 (34～88)years, were randomly divided into transradial artery access for primary PCI (TRA pPCI) group of 106 cases and transfemoral artery access for PCI (TFA pPCI) group of 102 cases during Sept, 2000 to Aug, 2002. The protocols of the manipulation duration and the effect for TRA pPCI and TFA pPCI procedures were respectively compared, including the time of transradial artery puncture and the rate of puncture success at first time ; the time of guiding catheter engaging into target coronary ostium; the rate of patence in infarct related artery (IRA); total duration of manipulation and the successful rate.The incidence of complications such as bleeding, vessel injury,thrombi and embolism as well as the average stay of hospitalization between two groups was compared. The status and the incidance of vessel spasm were observed and the effect of medicine administration to prevent from and relieve the vascular spasm was evaluated. The time of Allen’s test before and after TRA pPCI , the inner diameter and the peak of blood velocity of the right and left radial artery were investigated with color Doppler vessel echography as well as the complications of radial artery were followed up 1 month after TRA pPCI procedure. Results Two cases in every TRA pPCI and TFA pPCI groups were crossed over each other because procedure of the transradial or transfemoral access was failure. One handred and six vessels (48 vessels in LAD,22 vessels in LCX and 36 vessels in RCA) associated with 28 vessels of total occlusion in TRA pPCI group and 102 vessels (51 vessels in LAD,18 veesles in LCX and 33 vessels in RCA) with 24 vessels in total occlusion in TFA pPCI group were angioplasticized . The successful rates of the first time puncture in access artery, the re patence IRA and pPCI were similar in TRA pPCI and TFA pPCI groups ( 93.4% vs 96.1% ;100% vs 100%; 96.2% vs 97.1% , P >0.05 ). There were no significant diffierence in the average time of puncture time of access artery ,engaging in target vessels of guiding catheters and the total procedure of PCI between the two groups ( 1.3 ±0.3s vs 1.2 ±0.3s ; 6.0 ±1.6min vs 5.8 ±0.9min ; 49.2 ±24.1min vs 46.5 ± 26.4min , P >0.05 ). The access artery complications such as bleeding ,hematoma and embolism as well the veneous thrombosis in TFA pPCI group were much more than those in TRA pPCI group(p< 0.01 ). Although slight artery spasm of 4.7% cases in TRA pPCI group was happened during the procedure of PCI , the procedure had being continued after administration of medicine to release the spasm. The time of Allen’s test ,diameter and the systolic velocity of blood in daul radial arteries were no significant change before and after pPCI.Conclusions The duration and effect by TRA pPCI for AMI with stable hemodynamics was similar to TFA pPCI. The complications such as of bleeding,vessel injury, thrombi and embolism by TRA pPCI were few, and it was unnecessary to discontinue the anticoagulation medicine. TRA pPCI might be selected as a access vessel for pPCI in AMI patients with stable hemodynamics.

文摘Steel slag, a by-product of the steel production industry reaches 10%–15% of crude steel output (Motz and Geiseler, 2001). Their main application lies in the field of building materials due to some containing cementitious components, such as dicalcium silicate (C2S) and tricalcium silicate (C3S) (Waligora et al., 2010). However, blended cements with steelmaking slag show low early hydration activity, low compressive strength and bad durability because steel slag generates above 1600 ℃ with the tense and large grain size crystals, consisting of low content of C2S and C3S and high proportions of f-CaO and f-MgO compared with cement clinker.

The efficiency of PCI TRU was evaluated. The time of manipulative duration for each procedure of PCI TRU was recorded. The time of Allen’s test, luminal diameter (mm) , cross area of vessel lumin (mm 2), blood velocity (Vs max), blood resistance (RI) in ulnar artery and radial artery and the level of blood oxygen in finger (PaO 2、SatO 2) were measured and recorded , respectively , as well were compared quantitatively before and after 1 month of procedure . Results Fourty eight lesion segments of 42 vessels in all patients were angioplasticized successfully via TRU by 6F guiding catheter including 23 segments of type B1 , 14 segments of type B2 and 11 segments of type C. PCI TRU in all of 40 patients was performed successfully. Fourty eight stents were implanted including 2 lesions of intrastent restenosis angioplasticized with cutting balloon technique before re stenting . The average time of manipulative duration of guiding catheters engaging in osicum of target coronary, crossing the vessel lesions of guidewire, dilatation and implantation of stents,and under X ray fluoroscopy were 4.30 ±0.59 min , 2.52 ±0.40min , 2.66 ±0.40 min ,and 25.9 ±0.49 min , respectively, and the total time of the whole procedure was 56.6 ±14.8 min . When the ulnar introducer was taken off, the access site in ulnar artery was suppressed by tourniquet with no bleeding in the access site and no limitation of physical activation under maintaining infusion of heparin immediately after procedure . There was no significant change in the diameter of ulnar artery and the time of Allen’s test after 1 month of PCI procedure as compared with those before procedure ( 3.22 ±0.48mm vs 3.26 ±0.22 mm , P >0.05 ; 2.96 ±0.98 s vs 2.72 ±0.47 s , P >0.05 ). No significant change was found in the parameters of blood velocity , cross area of vessel lumin, blood resistance and the level of blood oxygen in finger after 1 month of PCI procedure. The average total hospital stay was 5.21 ±0.43 days. Following up 1 month, no complications such as occlusion of ulnar artery, abnormal sensitivity and movement disability were found in right hands in all patients.Conclusions The ulnar artery might be selected as one approach of antebrachial artery for PCI in the patients with coronary heart disease whose radial artery was difficulty as access vessels of PCI, while reversed Allen’s test for radial and ulnar artery are positive and the luminal diameter of ulnar artery was larger than that of radial artery.

文摘Objective:The efficacy of monotherapy in alleviating psychological disorders like anxiety and depression among breast cancer patients is suboptimal,necessitating effective psychosocial interventions.Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to mitigate anxiety-depression symptoms and encourage beneficial behaviors.The online mindfulness based cancer recovery(MBCR)offers flexibility and guides practice across various settings,facilitating full patient engagement.This study amis to analyze the impact of a 4-week internet-delivered mindfulness-based cancer recovery program on anxiety,depression,and mindfulness among Chinese patients with breast cancer,and to evaluate the degree of satisfaction breast cancer patients experienced after participating in this program.Methods:This study utilized a two-armed,parallel,randomized controlled trial design.A total of 103 patients with breast cancer from June 2020 to January 2021 in the ward of Breast and Thyroid Surgery of a tertiary hospital in Changsha,Hunan Province were selected and randomly assigned to an intervention group(n=51)and a control group(n=52).The intervention group participated in an internet-delivered mindfulness-based cancer recovery program,which was delivered once a week for 4 weeks.Meanwhile,the control group received weekly group health education for 4 weeks.The outcomes of hospital anxiety and depression scale and mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale were evaluated at 3 distinct time points:Baseline(T1),postintervention(T2),and 1-month follow-up(T3).The satisfaction questionnaire of 4-week mindful cancer rehabilitation training program was used at T2 to evaluate patients’satisfaction with the intervention program.Generalized estimation equations were used to assess differences in anxiety,depression and mindfulness levels between groups before and after the intervention.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in demographic data and outcome index scores between the 2 groups at T1(all P>0.05),indicating that the 2 groups were comparable.The generalized estimating equation analyses showed that the intervention group had significantly better improvement in outcomes compared to the control group,particularly for anxiety(T2β=−1.30,95%CI−1.87 to−0.72;T3β=−2.78,95%CI−3.51 to−2.05)and depression(T2β=−1.92,95%CI−2.78 to−1.06;T3β=−2.96,95%CI−4.05 to−1.87;all P<0.001).Moreover,the mindfulness score in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group at T2(β=3.23,95%CI 0.73 to 5.72)and T3(β=8.06,95%CI 4.37 to 11.75;both P<0.05).In addition,patients in the intervention group were satisfied with the 4-week mindfulness-based cancer recovery intervention and teaching/learning activities used to implement the program.Conclusion:In patients with breast cancer,the 4-week internet-delivered mindfulness based cancer recovery program,as a low-threshold,short-term mental health intervention,has a positive effect on reducing anxiety and depression and improving mindfulness levels.This program holds great promise as a tool for clinical nursing practice,given the high satisfaction and applicability.
