The predictive value of serum fibrinogen and platelet distribution width for long-term cardiac death in acute myocardial infarction patients.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most severe manifestation of coronary heart disease (CHD), and timely and effective opening of the culprit vessels has been effective in reducing its mortality, but long-term death still threatens the life of patients. Therefore, finding biomarkers to predict death post-myocardial infarction (MI) is crucial. The aim of our study is to find biomarkers that predicted long-term death in Chinese AMI patients.

[Impact of multifactor intensive intervention on self management, risk factor control and outcome of post percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention patients].

Objective: To test the efficacy of multifactor intensive intervention for post percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (post-PCI) outpatients on self management, risk factor control and outcome.

Methods: A total of 263 patients with coronary heart disease (CAD) discharged from our cardiac center were randomized into usual care (4 CAD lectures focusing on the 2(nd) CAD prevention and patients-oriented outpatient visit) and intensive intervention (4 CAD lectures focusing on the 2(nd) CAD prevention, CAD outpatient visit twice a month, monthly telephone instructions on risk factor control and optimal medication). Patients were followed for 12 months and 250 patients completed follow-up.

[Associations of glycated albumin level with coronary artery disease].

Objective: To explore the associations of the level of glycated albumin (GA) with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: A total of 306 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CA) were collected. There were 201 males and 105 females with an age range of 38-86 years.

Stacking ionizable analytes in a sample matrix with high salt by a transient moving chemical reaction boundary method in capillary zone electrophoresis.

The paper presents a novel on-line transient moving chemical reaction boundary method (tMCRBM) for simply but efficiently stacking ionizable analytes in high-salt matrix in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). The powerful function and stability of the tMCRBM are elucidated with the ionizable test analytes of L-phenylalanine (Phe) and L-tryptophan (Trp) in the matrix with 85.6-165.
