Objective To evaluate the effect of different regimens of antiplatelet drugs on the major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in elderly patients undergoing selected percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in direction of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) -induced platelet aggregation index. Methods The 1230 cases aged 60-80 years, mean (67. 2±10. 2) years undergoing selected PCI with the drug eluting stent were enrolled. The 615 cases of the ADP guided group according to the ADP-induced platelet aggregation index. After the first loading dose of clopidogrel (300 mg) , once the decrease of ADP-induced platelet aggregation index was more than 50% as compared with the basic level, the dose of 75 mg each day would be maintained for one year. If the decrease of the index was less than 50%. the another 300 mg of clopidogrel would be given again, until up to 900 mg on the 3th day. If the decrease of the index was still not enough, the combination of clopidogrel 75 mg, cilostazol 100 mg and aspirin 100 mg each day would be suggested. The rest 615 patients in the routine dosage group took the routine dose of clopidogrel (the first loading dosage 300 mg was taken, then 75 mg each day for one year ) . The MACEs, including cardiac death, myocardium infarction, revascularization and stent thrombosis, were observed for 12 months. Results After the first 300 mg of clopidogrel, only 45% of patients reached the standards. Until reaching 900 mg, 67.5% of patients in the ADP guided group were eligible. The tailored clopidogrel loading dose in the ADP guided group yielded a better effect on the inhibition of platelet aggregation (the routine dose vs. the tailored loading dose: 45% vs. 67. 5% , P=0. 028). After one year follow up, the MACEs were less in ADP guided group than in routine dosage group (2. 8% vs. 4. 9% , P = 0. 035). All of patients had no major bleeding, and the minor bleeding and other drug adverse events in two groups had no significant differences. Conclusions The patients undergoing selected PCI should receive ADP -induced platelet aggregation test in order to assess the inhibition effect of clopidogrel on the platelet aggregation. It is safe and effective to modify the antiplatelet drugs regimen during the peri-PCI procedure in direction of ADP-induced platelet aggregation.

Through textual research of herbalism about Chinese Goldthread Rhizome in different periods of ancients and some modern study, and analysis on correlativity between its name and different germplasm, it showed that the knowledge level of quality of the medicinal materials was gradually increased in its historical record of application by the society improvement and increasing of requirements and population from producing area, diversity of character to germplasm resources. The materials name of Chinese Goldthread Rhizome was from unitary to diversity and referred to the rhizomes of all plants of Coptis in China, while Deltaleaf Goldthread Rhizome took an important role in the evolution of Chinese Goldthread Rhizome. The aim of the work was to provide a reference for the correlative study of phylogeny, individual distribution, ecological environment and medical resources.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty in the treatment of children′s congenital anal atresia.Methods:In this study , 49 children undergoing laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty between Mar 2009 and Mar 2015 were compared in terms of outcomes with 42 children under going posterior sagittal anorectoplasty during this period.The post-operative complications, bowel functions and courses were evaluated.Results:The ratio of primary healing in laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty was higher than posterior sagittal anorectoplasty(22 % vs. 10%, χ 2=4.306, P=0.038), the age of sequential operation in the former was lower than control group [(9.9±6.5) d vs. (13.4±5.1) d, t=2.823, P=0.003]. The perioperative complications were lower than that in the control group(20% vs. 50%, χ 2=8.817, P=0.003), the bowel function was better than control group(χ 2=7.419, P=0.025). Conclusions:Perioperative complications in laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty is lower than posterior sagittal anorectoplasty, with better bowel function and higher primary healing rate.
