10-year outcome of fractional flow reserve-guided complete revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction - A DANAMI-3 PRIMULTI substudy.

BACKGROUND: Complete revascularization is recommended in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease. However, whether the non-culprit lesions should be evaluated using angiography or fractional flow reserve (FFR) remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of patients with STEMI and multivessel disease who had non-culprit FFR-values >0.80 and thus deferred PCI. METHODS: Of the 627 patients included in the DANAMI-3-PRIMULTI trial, 314 patients were randomized to FFR-guided complete revascularization and 280 were included in this substudy. Patients were divided into a PCI-deferral group who had no PCI of non-culprit lesions (FFR&#xa0;>&#xa0;0.80) (n&#xa0;=&#xa0;106) and a PCI group encompassing patients treated with PCI of at least one non-culprit lesion (FFR&#xa0;&#x2264;&#xa0;0.80 or an angiographical diameter stenosis of &#x2265;90%) (n&#xa0;=&#xa0;174). The combined endpoint included all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or urgent revascularization. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 10.5&#xa0;years (IQR 9.8-11.4), the composite outcome occurred in 62 (36%) patients in the PCI group and in 50 (47%) patients in the PCI-deferral group (adjusted HR 0.64, 95% CI: 0.44-0.95, p&#xa0;=&#xa0;0.025). PCI-deferral was associated with a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 0.48, CI 95% 0.24-0.97, p&#xa0;=&#xa0;0.040) compared to the PCI group. CONCLUSION: In patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, deferring PCI of non-culprit lesions based on FFR&#xa0;>&#xa0;0.80 was associated with an increased risk of the combination of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or urgent revascularization as well as cardiovascular mortality compared to patients treated with PCI of FFR-positive non-culprit lesions.

Associations of red blood cell fatty acids with personality traits: 10-year follow-up in the Kibbutzim Family Study (KFS).

BACKGROUND: The ability of hostility and type-A personality to predict cardiovascular outcomes makes understanding antecedents of these personality traits an important public health objective. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine whether blood-measured fatty acids (the exposure) are associated with hostility and type-A personality (the outcome), while accounting for lifestyle, sociodemographic factors, and polygenic background. METHODS: Personality traits, sociodemographic, and lifestyle data were obtained in 1992-1993 from 452 family members living in kibbutz settlements in Israel (visit 1) and remeasured 8 to 10 y later in 379 individuals (visit 2). Red blood cell (RBC) fatty acid concentrations were determined in visit 1 by gas chromatography. Longitudinal associations of visit 1 fatty acids with visit 2 personality traits were examined using linear models, before and after controlling for baseline personality scores. The contribution of environmental factors to personality scores beyond heritability was estimated by variance decomposition. RESULTS: In longitudinal analysis, 1% increase in visit 1 total n-6 (&#x3c9;-6) fatty acid was associated with a 0.328-unit decrease in visit 2 type-A score [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.571, -0.085]. After adjustment for baseline personality levels, the association was slightly attenuated (&#x3b2;= -0.204; CI: -0.399, -0.009). One percent higher total n-6 was also associated with 1.119 units lower visit 2 hostility score (CI: -2.777, 0.038; P = 0.055). Finally, independent of the genetic contribution (32%-38% of adjusted variability in hostility and type-A personality), 1% increase in total n-3 and total n-6 was associated with 2.539 (CI: -3.907, -1.171) and 0.201 (CI: -0.365, -0.037) units lower hostility and type-A scores, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Higher RBC total n-6 fatty acid concentrations are associated with lower type-A personality scores. After adjustment for baseline personality levels, the associations between total n-6 and hostility and between total n-3 and hostility are attenuated. These findings support further investigation of the relationship between fatty acid biology and personality traits using study designs better suited to causal inference.

Detoxifying biotransformation of chloramphenicol by Exiguobacterium sp. CAP4 and its bioaugmentation of chloramphenicol biodegradation in simulated wastewater.

The extensive use of chloramphenicol (CAP) in livestock leads the accumulation of CAP in livestock manures, threatening environmental and human health. Therefore, eliminating or reducing CAP concentration in manures before its re-utilization and application through microbial remediation is necessary. Exiguobacterium sp. CAP4, isolated from the plastisphere in duck manures, was capable of degrading CAP with the biodegradation efficiency of 97.8 % at initial CAP concentration of 5 mg/L within 4 days. A total of twenty-four biotransformation products were determined, including two novel transformation products, TP166 and TP203, enriched the integrity of CAP biodegradation pathways. Furthermore, the biotransformation process was proposed as a detoxifying process through biotransformation products toxicity evaluation. Notably, Exiguobacterium sp. CAP4 successfully colonized in the cow manures after inoculation, and bioaugmented the biodegradation of CAP in virgin cow manures. This study significantly extended our understanding of the CAP biotransformation fate, and provided a promising bacterial strain for bioremediation of CAP containing wastewater in situ.
