Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the role of biomarkers in predicting outcomes for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who don’t have standard risk factors.
- Researchers collected data from patients who underwent coronary angiography at Tianjin Chest Hospital, focusing on the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over five years.
- The findings revealed that certain biomarkers like D-dimer, NT-proBNP, and lipoprotein (a) enhanced risk prediction for MACE in these patients, with a notable increase in risk associated with having multiple elevated biomarkers.
The N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may predict adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes. However, its prognostic value in patients with multivessel disease (MVD) undergoing coronary revascularization remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of preprocedural NT-proBNP levels in diabetic patients with MVD undergoing coronary revascularization.

- The study investigates the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) as a predictor for adverse cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- A total of 2,531 patients were analyzed, and results indicated a higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) correlated with increasing TyG index levels over a 3-year follow-up.
- The TyG index proved to be an independent predictor of MACEs, offering improved accuracy when added to existing prognostic models, suggesting its potential utility for risk assessment in this patient group.
Objective: The purpose was to analyze the effects of three sterilization methods (dry heat sterilization, steam sterilization, and chemical sterilization) on the corrosion of dental fissure bur.
Methods: 200 dental fissure burs were distributed to 10 groups. Bending strength, elastic modulus, and torsional strength were measured by bending and torsional instrument and calculated with special designed software.
