RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the predictive value of tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA),chro-mogranin A(CgA),and lipoprotein related phospholipase A2(LP-PLA2)in serum for major adverse cardio-vascular event(MACE)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 120 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI in the hospital from August 2020 to August 2022 were en-rolled in the study.According to whether MACE occurred within 1 year after PCI,the patients were divided into MACE group(33 cases)and non-MACE group(87 cases).The levels of serum t-PA,CgA,LP-PLA2 and clinical data were compared between the MACE group and the non-MACE group.Multivariate Logistic regres-sion was used to analyze the risk factors of MACE after PCI.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of t-PA,CgA and LP-PLA2 alone or in combination for MACE after PCI.Results The proportion of patients with smoking history,NT-proBNP,CgA,LP-PLA2,and the propor-tion of patients with hypertension in the MACE group were higher than those in the non-MACE group(P＜0.05),while left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and t-PA were lower than those in the non-MACE group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in age,gender composition,serum creatinine,triglyc-erides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),drinking history,NYHA cardiac function classification,combined diabetes,application of aspirin,and application of clopidogrel between the two groups(P＞0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking history,increased NT-proBNP,hypertension,decreased LVEF,decreased t-PA,increased CgA and increased LP-PLA2 were risk factors for MACE after PCI(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves(AUCs)of serum t-PA,CgA and LP-PLA2 alone or in combination for predicting MACE after PCI were 0.785(95％CI:0.693-0.877),0.678(95％CI:0.564-0.791),0.730(95％CI:0.636-0.824),0.888(95％CI:0.830-0.946),respectively.The efficacy of combined prediction was bet-ter than those of single detections(P＜0.05).Conclusion The lower the serum t-PA level is and the higher the CgA and LP-PLA2 levels are,the greater the risk of MACE after PCI is.The combination of the three in-dicators has higher value in predicting MACE after PCI.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the skin barrier function in patients with facial steroid dermatitis.Methods Ninety-five patients with facial steroid dermatitis were enrolled into this study along with 25 healthy volunteers as controls.Transepidermal water loss(TEWL)and skin hydration were measured in 8 facial regions.including lesional skin in forehead,nasal tip,submaxilla,both cheeks and angulus oris,and non-lesional skin in the left posteior ear.Results Compared with the healthy group,the patients with steroid dermatitis had a significant higher value of TEWL on lower mandible,both angulus oris and cheeks(t:4.90,2.60,2.57,2.54,3.77,respectively,P＜0.01),while a significant lower level of skin hydration was noted on both angulus otis,right cheek and forehead(t=3.27,3.81,2.02,2.78,respectively,P＜0.05).Among the 8 test sites in both patients and controls,TEWL value decreased in the following order:submaxilla and both angulus oris＞both cheeks and forehead＞non lesional skin on the posteroir ear,and the decrease in skin water content was highest in submaxilla and both angnlus oris,followed by cheeks and forehead,and finally by left posterior ear.Conclusions In patients with facial steroid dermatitis,skin barrier function is disturbed on submaxilla,both angnlus oris and cheeks,and TEWL value is found to be higher in perioral area,while cheeks have a lower level of skin hydration.
