Despite the extensive implementation of early revascularization, acute myocardial infarction(AMI)  with cardiogenic shock remains the emphasis and difficulty of treatment programs.  In addition,  it is often combined with multiple vascular lesions (MVD). The optimal strategy of revascularization of  AMI  with cardiogenic shock is still uncertain. This review focuses on the definition and etiology of cardiogenic shock, the importance of early revascularization in patients with  AMI  combined with cardiogenic shock and the selection of revascularization strategies.

The atrial fibrillation （AF） with increasing annual incidence has become one of the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice, with cerebral embolism being its major complication. Although anticoagulant therapy is still the principal means of prevention of  cerebral apoplexy, both warfarin and other new anticoagulant drugs have some limitations  and are often contraindicated or underutilized. Given that the left atrial appendage (LAA) has proved as the main position of thrombogenesis in patients with AF, percutaneous LAA closure is becoming a new choice of replacing warfarin in AF patients to reduce the risk of stroke.

Vascular endothelial damage caused by erosion or rupture of coronary atherosclerotic plaque is the pathophysiological basis of thrombosis in coronary artery lesions. The onset of acute coronary syndrome(ACS)   is often accompanied by changes in electrocardiogram,  increased markers of myocardial injury and the appearance of symptoms of angina pectoris. Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy is the key to the treatment of ACS. The effective use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs can reduce the occurrence of ischemic events such as myocardial infarction,  thrombosis in stent and a reduction in mortality. This article reviews current  evidences for anticoagulants in ACS.

Antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone of the treatment for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and aspirin combined with a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is currently the I recommendation in the guidelines. Antiplatelet therapy increases the risk of bleeding while reducing major cardiovascular adverse events in ACS patients. Therefore, for some special populations such as advanced age, diabetes, stroke/TIA,  and STEMI patients receiving thrombolysis, the antiplatelet therapy regimen and duration are presenting huge individual differences while evaluating the ischemia risk and bleeding risk. This article reviews the current research progress of antiplatelet therapy in these special populations.

Objective  To observe the effect of surface gastrointestinal pacing therapy on intestinal barrier function in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods  A total of 47 patients with SAP were divided into the control group (22 cases) and the experimental group (25 cases). Apart from the treatment received by the control group, which included conventional treatment such as  fasting,  gastrointestinal decompression,  antiinfection,  antiinflammatory (ulinastatin),  inhibition of gastric acid secretion (Omeprazole),  somatostatin (somatostatin injection), patients in the experimental group also need to receive the treatment of surface gastrointestinal pacing therapy. The number of bowel sounds and plasma endotoxin, Dlactic acid, and serum diamine oxidase (DAO) levels were monitored respectively before the treatment and 24, 48, and 96 h after the treatment. The number of cases whose abdominal pain and abdominal distension had disappeared  24, 48, and 96 h after the treatment was measured.Results  The levels of endotoxin,  Dlactic acid, and DAO in two groups 24, 48, and 96 h after the treatment were significantly lower than those before the  treatment (P<0.05), and the number of bowel sounds increased 48 and 96 h after the treatment(all P<0.05). There were no statistical significance between the two groups in terms of the comparison of frequency of bowel sounds and endotoxin,  Dlactate and DAO 24 and 48 h after the treatment (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the number of patients in the experimental group with abdominal pain,  abdominal distension and decreasing borborygmus increased significantly, and their levels of endotoxin, Dlactic acid, and DAO significantly decreasedg 96 h after the treatment(all P<0.05).Conclusion  The use of surface gastrointestinal pacing therapy in SAP patients can restore gastrointestinal motility as soon as possible,  thereby improving gastrointestinal barrier function,  reducing endotoxin translocation,  preventing intestinal failure,  and promoting early recovery of the disease. It is a simple and worthwhile promotion of supplementary treatment measures.
