OBJECTIVETo compare the effects of clopidogrel combined with dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) or non-dihydropyridine CCBs on coronary artery disease (CAD) in elderly patients.
METHODSThe study cohort was defined as all patients ≥60 years old hospitalized for CAD with the prescription of clopidogrel between January 2001 and February 2011. The primary endpoint was death of all causes, and the secondary endpoints were nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), hospitalization for unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or repeat revascularization (PCI or coronary artery bypass graft).
RESULTSA total of 1021 patients were enrolled, among whom 402 patients were prescribed with clopidogrel and 619 with clopidogrel combined with CCB (dihydropyridine in 547 and non-dihydropyridine in 72). In clopidogrel group and clopidogrel with CCB group, the incidence density of death was 50.55 per thousand and 42.02 per thousand, respectively. The crude RR was 0.83 (95%CI: 0.55-1.26), and the multivariable-adjusted RR was 0.47 (95%CI: 0.14-1.6), showing no statistical significance in the rate of deaths of call causes between the two groups (P>0.05); the incidence density of composite thromboembolic events showed no significant difference between the two groups, either (P>0.05). After weighting of the propensity score, the patients with clopidogrel coadministered with non-dihydropyridine CCB showed a significant increase in composite thromboembolic events than those taking dihydropyridine CCB, with a SMRW-adjusted OR of 1.97 (95%: 1.2-3.23, P=0.007). No significant difference was observed in death or composite thromboembolic events between Pgp-inhibiting CCBs and non-Pgp-inhibiting CCBs.
CONCLUSIONCompared with clopidogrel without CCB, clopidogrel with CCB does not increase the mortality or composite thromboembolic events in elderly CAD patients, but clopidogrel combined with non-dihydropyridine CCB is associated with significantly increased composite thromboembolic events in comparison with dihydropyridine CCB.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(UC-MSCs)implantation on knee osteoarthritis(OA)in rabbits. Methods The healthy adult New Zealand rabbits were divided into control group(n=4),OA model group(n=4),and treatment group(n= 4).OA model was induced by 4% papain injection(0.1 ml/kg for 2 times),and treatment group were treated with UC-MSCs implantation(1 ml,1×105/L).At 2 weeks after papain injection for preparation of osteoarthritis model,rabbits knee joints were examined by MRI,and synchrony serum levels of IL-6 and-8,MMP-3 and-13 were tested.At 3 weeks after papain injection for OA,1×106/L 1 ml UC-MSCs were injected into articular cavity in treatment group,and normal saline was injected into articular cavity in blank control group and OA model group.At 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the treatment,serum levels of IL-6 and IL-8,MMP-3 and MMP-13 were tested respectively.At 4 weeks after the treatment,knee joints were reexamined again by MRI.After this,the rabbits were sacrificed and synovium and articular cartilage were taken out for HE and immunohistochemistry examination.Serum levels of IL-6 and IL-8,MMP-3 and MMP-13 were tested by ELISA method. Results The levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6,IL-8,MMP-3,MMP-13 were significantly higher in model group 〔(44.7 ± 14.5)μg/L,(7.6 ± 2.5)μg/L,(16.5 ± 4.3)μg/L,(4.50 ± 1.20)μg/L〕and in treatment group 〔(43.9 ± 15.2)μg/L,(9.8 ± 2.9μg/L),(18.3 ± 4.9) μg/L,(4.80 ± 1.80)μg/L〕than in control group〔(20.8 ± 11.2)μg/L,(1.2 ± 0.6)μg/L,(2.8 ± 0.9) μg/L,(0.02 ± 0.02)μg/L〕(all P < 0.05).The levels of IL-6,IL-8,MMP-3,MMP-13 were significantly lower after UC-MSCs treatment〔(23.8 ± 11.4)μg/L,(2.4 ± 1.3)μg/L,(10.5 ± 3.4)μg/L,(0.50 ± 0.20)μg/L〕than before treatment(all P<0.05).Based on magnetic resonance imaging,the treatment group versus model group showed an improved coarse cartilage surface,thickened subchondral bone and synovium,and decreased volume of joints effusion.Pathological finding showed lower levels of inflammatory reaction in cartilage and synovium in the treatment group versus model group.Immunohistochemistry showed lower levels of IL-6 and MMP-13(all P<0.05). Conclusions The inflammatory response of cartilage and synovial tissue induces OA progress,and the inflammation factors play a significant role in OA progress.UC-MSCs could protect cartilage and synovial membrane of joints and inhibit the inflammatory response.Therefore,this study provides new therapy method for OA.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical application of an angle gauge in internal fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in the 54 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the femur who had been treated with PFNA internal fixation from February 2016 to August 2018 at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Central Hospital of Shengli Oilfield. In the experimental group of 25 patients whose PFNA internal fixation was assisted by an angle gauge to measure the anteversion angle, there were 9 males and 16 females with an age of 74.4 years ± 4.6 years, and 7 cases of type 31-A1, 11 cases of type 31-A2, and 7 cases of type 31-A3 by the AO classification; in the control group of 29 patients whose PFNA internal fixation was not assisted by an angle gauge, there were 9 males and 20 females with an age of 74.4 years ± 3.9 years, and 9 cases of type 31-A1, 16 cases of type 31-A2, and 4 cases of type 31-A3 by the AO classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, corrections of anteversion angle, intraoperative X-ray exposure times and Harris hip scores at the last follow-up.Results:There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in their preoperative general data, indicating they were compatible( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significantly shorter operation time (64.0 min ± 6.5 min versus 72.7 min ± 3.9 min), significantly fewer corrections of anteversion angle (2.8±1.2 versus 4.7±1.5) and significantly fewer X-ray exposure times(7.0±1.2 versus 11.6±1.6) (all P<0.05). This cohort was followed up for 6 to 24 months (average, 11 months). By the Harris hip scores at the last follow-up, therewere 22 excellent cases, 2 good cases and one fair case in the experimental group, and 23 excellent cases, 4 good cases and one poor case in the control group, showing an insignificant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Application of an angle gauge to assist PFNA internal fixation can lead to shorter operation time, fewer corrections of anteversion angle and fewer X-ray exposure times in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

By applying "homeostasis" to the study of the meridian and collateral system, the concept of meridian and collateral homeostasis has been proposed which refers to a balanced and stable state of meridian and collateral system, and plays an important role in maintaining body health and can provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Phenomics realizes the cross-scale correlation from micro-phenotypic data, such as genome, proteome, and metabolome, to macro-phenotypic data, such as physiological state, behavioral activities, and external manifestations. From the perspective of phenomics, this paper proposes a meridian and collateral homeostasis dynamic mapping model of "macroscopic signs and microscopic expression". This model combines macro signs such as the four examinations of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), biophysical indicators of acupoints, and micro expression information such as genes, proteins, and metabolism, and systematically investigates the relationship between meridian and collateral homeostasis and health and disease, thereby providing ideas and references for the identification of pre-disease states as well as precise diagnosis and treatment in TCM.
