Coronary Microembolizaiton(CME)is caused by spontaneous or iatrogenic causes of rupture of atherosclerotic plaques,small plaque debris,and secondary thrombosis that follow the blood flow to the microcirculation system(arterioles,capillaries,and venule),which leads to coronary microcirculation disorder.The widespread coronary microcirculation disorder significantly weakens the benefits of acute myocardium infarction(AMI)patients after emergency interventional therapy(PCI),which is the result of early complications,long-term heart failure and death important reason.No reflow is a common clinical manifestation of CME.The changes of creatine kinase and troponin in the blood can indirectly indicate the damage of CME to the myocardium.Doppler intracoronary artery can directly observe microembolism,while cardiac MRI Further clarify the location of the embolism and the area of infarction.Antiplatelet drugs,statins,thrombus aspiration devices and other measures can reduce the occurrence of CME,but clinical practice has not yet fully established a cardiac protection strategy to avoid coronary microembolism and rescue myocardium from microvascular occlusion.The maximum no-reflow phenomenon of AMI patients can still reach 30%.How to effectively prevent and treat CME is a problem faced by cardiovascular doctors.In-depth research on its injury mechanism and subsequent medical conversion have been the issues that researchers have paid attention to for many years.Initially,the myocardial tissue of CME animal model was detected by TUNEL staining and cleared caspase3 immunohistochemistry,and it was found that there was cardiomyocyte apoptosis in CME.Later,in-depth studies by multiple research groups including ours showed that apoptosis is one of the most important mechanisms of CME-induced myocardial injury.Mitochondrial apoptosis pathway is an internal pathway of apoptosis mechanism.In recent years,HtrA2 has attracted much attention in various fields as a newly discovered key molecule in mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.HtrA2 is a serine protease in the mitochondrial membrane space,plays an important role in mitochondrial quality control,and maintains mitochondrial homeostasis,and can promote apoptosis through a dual pathway.Recent studies have shown that the increase of serum HtrA2 in patients with acute myocardial infarction PCI is related to ischemia-reperfusion injury,but it is related to the type of reperfusion injury results,so it is not further elucidated.Clinical studies have shown that the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel activator nicorandil improves the phenomenon of no backflow.Combined with our previous research,it shows that it can inhibit apoptosis in the upstream pathway of mitochondria in cardiomyocytes and whether nicorandil inhibits HtrA2 There are no relevant reports on the downstream channels of regulation.Based on this,this subject aims to observe the correlation between the changes of peripheral blood HtrA2 and acute myocardial injury in patients with PCI with acute myocardial infarction,and explore its clinical value.Establish a CME rat model,observe the changes of HtrA2 after CME,and explore the role of HtrA2 in regulating apoptosis in CME-induced myocardial injury.To explore the role of HtrA2 / XIAP / PARP pathway in the improvement of CME myocardial injury by Nicorandil.Part 1 Expression and clinical significance of HtrA2 in peripheral blood of patients with acute myocardial infarctionObjective:1.To observe the changes of HtrA2 in peripheral blood of patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI2.To explore the clinical significance of peripheral blood HtrA2 changes of patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI.Then,explore the relationship between peripheral blood HtrA2 and no-reflow.Method:Patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI group),stable coronary heart disease(Stable-CAD group),and healthy volunteers(Health-Control group)were admitted continuously.If the patient's coronary blood flow does not recover during PCI,and there is no reflow(TIMI 0-2),the patient is enrolled into the NF subgroup,and the AMI with TIMI level 3 coronary blood flow is the NNF subgroup.The blood samples of patients with acute myocardial were collected within 24 hours,72 hours,and 7 days,and stable coronary heart disease patients were within 24 hours;volunteers were after asking about no previous medical history and current disease status.A 3ml blood sample of each subject was collected with an EDTA anticoagulation tube,centrifuged at 1200 x g for 15 minutes at 4 ° C,and then the plasma was stored in a refrigerator at-80 ° C.The plasma HtrA2 concentration was detected by ELISA.SPSS 23 software was used to analyze the data,compare the concentration differences between the groups,and observe the concentration changes related to myocardial injury markers in the acute myocardial infarction group.Logistic regression analysis of the correlation between HtrA2 expression level and AMI,NF,ROC curve is used to indicate the HtrA2 diagnosis of AMI,NF cutoff point,sensitivity,specificity,area under the ROC curve.Results:1.A total of 37 subjects were selected.A total of 20 patients with acute myocardial infarction,except for one non-ST-increased myocardial infarction,the rest are myocardial infarctions with elevated ST,and all patients received emergency PCI.Seven patients with acute myocardial infarction in NF group.7 cases in the Stable-CAD group and 10 cases in the healthy control group.There was no statistical difference between the three groups(AMI?Stable-CAD?Health-Control)in terms of gender,history of diabetes,dyslipidemia,family history of coronary heart disease,blood pressure,body mass index,serum creatinine,total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(P ? 0.05).Compared with the coronary heart disease group,the age,history of hypertension and medication of coronary heart disease were not statistically different(P?0.05),and LVEF was lower(P <0.05).Compared with other groups,the total number of leukocytes,absolute neutrophils,and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in AMI patients within 24 hours of admission was higher(P <0.05),while lymphocytes and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased(P <0.05).2.Plasma HtrA2-24 h in AMI group,Stable CAD group and Health-Control group were 2018.13(702.41,2781.57)pg / m,622.19(359.54,882.182)pg / m,722.87(343.16,895.49)pg / ml,compared with other two groups,AMI group Increased(P <0.05),but there was no significant difference in HtrA2 concentration between Stable CAD group and Health-Control group(P?0.05).After PCI in AMI patients,HtrA2 shows a gradual downward trend.3.The plasma HtrA2-24 h concentrations in the AMI subgroup NF and NNF were 2781.57(2203.66,4600.02)pg / ml and 1808.15(620.124,2016.52)pg / ml,respectively,and there was a significant difference between the two(P <0.05).After PCI in AMI patients,plasma HtrA2 and various markers of myocardial injury showed a gradual downward trend.The NF group and NNF group also showed a downward trend,but the plasma HtrA2 concentration in the NF group at 24 h and 72 h was higher than that in the NNF group(P <0.05).4.The plasma HtrA2 concentration within 24 hours after admission was positively correlated with CK-MB,LDH,CTn T,CTn I(P <0.001),but not significantly correlated with Pro BNP(P?0.05)5.According to the diagnosis group,logistic regression was performed with AMI as the dependent variable and HtrA2 as the independent variable.HtrA2 was significantly positively correlated with AMI(P <0.05).In the coronary heart disease patient group,HtrA2 was used as a test variable,AMI was used as a state variable,and a ROC curve was made.Plasma HtrA2 is of great significance in the diagnosis of AMI(P <0.05).The area under the curve is 0.895.When HtrA2 was 1374.43 pg / ml,the sensitivity of acute myocardial infarction diagnosed in patients with coronary heart disease was 73.7%,and the specificity was 100%.In all populations,using HtrA2 as the test variable and acute myocardial infarction as the state variable,a ROC curve was prepared with an area under the curve of 0.864(P <0.05).When HtrA2 was 1425.03 pg / ml,the sensitivity for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was 73.7% and the specificity was 100%.6.According to the median 2018.13 pg / ml of 24 h plasma HtrA2 concentration in AMI patients,the patients were divided into two groups.There was no statistical difference in the baseline data.Taking NF as the dependent variable and HtrA2 within 24 h as the independent variable of logarithmic regression,HtrA2 was significantly positively correlated with NF(P <0.05).In AMI,24-hour plasma HtrA2 is used as a test variable,while NF is a state variable.The area under the ROC curve of plasma HtrA2 diagnosis NF was 0.912(P <0.05).When HtrA2 was 1988.37 pg / ml,the diagnosis was NF with a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 76.9%.Conclusion:1.Peripheral blood HtrA2 level of AMI emergency PCI patients increased significantly,and gradually decreased after 24 hours.Plasma HtrA2 in NF patients were higher than NNF patients at 24 h and 72 h.2.Plasma HtrA2 is positively correlated with myocardial injury markers,and has the highest correlation with CK-MB.3.Plasma HtrA2 is positively correlated with NFPart 2 The mechanism of HtrA2/XIAP/PARP mitochondrial apoptotic pathway mediating myocardial injury in rats with coronary
