The sensitive and reliable dinitrophenyl (DNP) hapten sandwich staining (DHSS) procedure (B. Jasani et al., Virchows Arch (Pathol. Anat.), 406 (1985) 441-448) was used to study the distribution of immunoperoxidase staining seen with antibodies to seven protein markers in post-mortem heart tissue. This was obtained from 12 cases with macroscopic myocardial infarction and 17 cases without myocardial infarction (10 with and 7 without significant coronary artery atherosclerosis). The immunostaining patterns were compared with the appearances seen in adjacent sections stained by the routine haematoxylin and eosin (H & E) and phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin (PTAH) methods and a method previously recommended for the detection of early myocardial infarction, the haematoxylin basic fuchsin picric acid (HBFP) stain. Loss of immunostaining with an antibody to myoglobin was found to be a reliable and more objective marker of both early and established myocardial infarction compared with the histological stains. Antibodies to myosin, caeruloplasmin, C-reactive protein and pre-albumin gave similar but less reliable results, whilst those to complement factor C3b and alpha-1 anti-trypsin gave the least reliable results for early myocardial ischaemic/hypoxic damage. The immunocytochemical results are considered sufficiently encouraging to extend the work to a large number of sudden death cases in order to establish a new, more reliable approach to the detection of histologically latent ischaemic/hypoxic damage in the myocardium.

Association between neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio and no-reflow after coronary intervention: A cross-sectional study.

Inflammatory responses and lipid metabolism disorders are key components in the development of coronary artery disease and contribute to no-reflow after coronary intervention. This study aimed to investigate the association between the neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR) and no-reflow phenomenon in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). This study enrolled 288 patients with STEMI from September 1st, 2022 to February 29th, 2024, in the Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University.

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) has a significant impact on public health and healthcare expenditures in the United States (US).
Methods: We used data from the CDC WONDER database from 1999-2020 to identify trends in the IHD-related mortality of patients ≥ 75 years in the US. AAMRs per 100,000 population and APC were calculated and categorized by year, sex, race, and geographic divisions.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with well-established metabolic risk factors, especially hyperlipidemia and obesity. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (mIRI) significantly offsets the therapeutic efficacy of revascularization. Previous studies indicated that disrupted lipid homeostasis can lead to lipid peroxidation damage and inflammation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Objectives: To determine whether plaque composition analysis defined by cardiac CT can provide incremental prognostic value above coronary artery disease (CAD) burden markers in symptomatic patients with obstructive CAD.
Materials And Methods: Between 2009 and 2019, a multicentric registry included all consecutive symptomatic patients with obstructive CAD (at least one ≥ 50% stenosis on CCTA) and was followed for major adverse cardiovascular (MACE) defined by cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction. Each coronary segment was scored visually for both the degree of stenosis and composition of plaque, which were classified as non-calcified, mixed, or calcified.
Causal Effects of Air Pollution, Noise, and Shift Work on Unstable Angina and Myocardial Infarction: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Cardiovascular disease continues to be a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, with environmental and occupational factors such as air pollution, noise, and shift work increasingly recognized as potential contributors. Using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, this study investigates the causal relationships of these risk factors with the risks of unstable angina (UA) and myocardial infarction (MI). Leveraging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as genetic instruments, a comprehensive MR study was used to assess the causal influence of four major air pollutants (PM, PM, NO, and NO), noise, and shift work on unstable angina and myocardial infarction.
