Intensive statin therapy reduces cardiovascular events in acute coronary syndrome. The data concerning the long-term clinical impacts of statin therapy between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) after drug-eluting stent implantation are limited. We compared the 2-year clinical outcomes between these 2 groups after statin therapy. ⋯ Statin therapy was more effective in reducing the cumulative risks of MACE, all-cause death, and TVR in the STEMI group than NSTEMI group in Korean patients with AMI after successful drug-eluting stent implantation.

Intestinal-barrier damage plays an important pathogenic role in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). In this study, we explored the characteristics of the intestinal barrier in rats with IgAN. ⋯ Decreased expression of ZO-1, OCLN and MUC2, plus intestinal-microbiota dysbiosis, are associated with intestinal-barrier damage in IgAN rats.
