Article Abstract

Previous studies have shown that nicorandil has a protective effect on cardiomyocytes. However, there is no study to investigate whether perioperative intravenous nicorandil can further reduce the myocardial infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared to the current standard of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) regimen. The CHANGE (China-Admini stration of Nicorandil Group) study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind and parallel-controlled clinical study of STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI in China, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous nicorandil in ameliorating the myocar dial infarct size in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI and provide evidence-based support for myocardial protection strategies of STEMI patients.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the potential of electroacupuncture to mitigate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) by influencing N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation through modulation of the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO).

Methods: An experimental murine model of MIRI was established by surgically occluding the left anterior descending coronary artery, followed by reperfusion. Electroacupuncture treatment targeting Neiguan acupoints was administered 7 days before ischemia induction.

Background: Stroke recurrence is an important factor affecting the prognosis of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. This study aims to construct a model for evaluating the degree of stroke recurrence and conduct binary and ternary interaction analysis.

Method: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of stroke recurrence patients, collecting demographic data, clinical characteristics, treatment factors, and biochemical indicators.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the main causes of mortality worldwide. Currently, the most effective treatment is percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCA). However, paradoxically, the restoration of blood flow induces myocardial reperfusion injury (MRI), contributing up to 50% of the final infarct size.

Myocardial infarction (MI), induced by ischemia and hypoxia of the coronary arteries, presents as myocardial necrosis. Patients often experience intense, prolonged retrosternal pain that is unrelieved by rest or nitrate therapy and is frequently associated with high blood myocardial enzyme levels. Physical effort may exacerbate this anxiety, increasing the likelihood of life-threatening consequences such as arrhythmias, shock, or cardiac failure.
