Objective To investigate the evaluation of plasma osteoprotegerin (OPG) measurement for assessing the prognosis of intermediate coronary lesions in elderly patients.Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients met the inclusion criteria of suspicious chest pain or confirmed coronary artery disease (CHD),and intermediate stenosis lesions (20 % ~ 70 %) in 3 main coronary arteries served as target vessels for qualitative comparative analysis (QCA).Plasma OPG level was detected by protein array method,and the concentration of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Clinical endpoints were followed up.Results A total of 890 patients with intermediate coronary stenosis were enrolled in this study,and were divided into<60 years of age group(n=370)and ≥ 60 years of age group(n=520).There were statistical differences in age,smoking history,hypertension history,triglycerides (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),white blood cell count,OPG,systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),body mass index(BMI)between the two groups.The morphological indices in coronary lesions assessed by QCA had no differences between the two groups.During a median of 24 months of follow-up,58 patients(l1.2%)had clinical endpoints events.Age,smoking history,hypertension history,TC,TG,HDL-C,white blood cell count,levels of OPG above-median,hs-CRP,SBP,DBP,and BMI were used as the independent variables,and the clinical end events as the dependent variable.Forward stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that HDL-C,levels of OPG above-median,hs-CRP were the independent risk factors in elderly patients.The risk of cardiovascular events in patients with levels of OPG above-median was 2.510 fold higher than those with levels of OPG below-median.Conclusions The high levels of OPG and hs-CRP are the independent risk factors for the occurrence of coronary heart disease in the elderly with intermediate coronary lesions.

Objective To evaluate the acute and long-term results of stenting for left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation lesions. Methods Forty consecutive patients with LMCA bifurcation lesion and normal left ventricular function were included. Sirolimus-eluting stents were performed in all patients. Results (1)The average diameter of LMCA was (0.81?0.48)mm before stenting and increased to (3.53?0.22)mm after stenting.(2)The procedural success rate was 100.0%. In-hospital events including stent thrombosis,Q-wave myocardial infarction,and emergency bypass surgery did not occur in any patients,and non-Q-wave MI in one patient (2.5%).(3)Clinical follow-up was obtained in all patients at (8.43?3.24) months. There were no death and no myocardial infarction during follow-up. The major adverse cardis events rate was 20.0%.(4)The angiographic follow-up rate was 67.5% (27 of the 40 eligible patients),and the restenosis rate was 18.5% (parent vessel only 11.1%,side branch only 3.7%,and both 3.7%).(5)Different type of operation had no influence on restenosis rate during angiographic follow-up. Conclusion Sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for LMCA bifurcation stenosis appears safe and effective with regard to acute and midterm complications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with acute coronary syndrome suffering hemorrhage during hospitalization. MethodsThe clinical symptoms,diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics and in-hospital outcome of 3807 inpatients who were recruited into SINO-GRACE study in China due to acute coronary syndrome from March,2001 to December,2007 were collected.Statistical methods were adopted to compare the differences in clinical data between hemorrhage group and non-hemorrhage group.ResultsHemorrhage had happened in 57 out of 3807 inpatients with the incidence of 1.50%. Five patients, which accounted for 9.6%of the overall hemorrhage cases, were fatal hemorrhage.Nine patients were intracranial hemorrhage with the incidence of 0.24%. There were 155 deaths among the 3807 patients,with an overall mortality rate of 4.1%. The mortality of hemorrhage accounted for 3.2%in overall mortality. Patients with one of the following factors were more apt to hemorrhage:> 70 years old,previous hemorrhage history,renal failure history,heart failure history and clopidogrel and glycoprotein (GP)Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist administration for coronary artery bypass grafting.Patients who developed hemorrhage might need prolonged hospitalization and were liable to develop heart-related adverse events,including re-infarction and sustained ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation after they were admitted in hospital over 24 hours. ConclusionPatients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting,with advanced age,previous hemorrhage history,renal failure history,heart failure history or treated with clopidogrel and GPⅡ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist are more vulnerable to hemorrhage.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and security of triple antiplatelet with cilostazol in the elderly after drug-eluting stent implantation and compare it with double antiplatelet treatment. Methods 234 elderly patients with coronary disease were randomly divided into two groups.118 cases in the triple antiplatelet group were treated with clopidogrel (300 or 600 mg/d) and aspirin(100 mg/d) in addition with cilostazol(200mg/d) from pre surgery to 6 month after surgery,then received double antiplatelet treatment.116 cases in the double antiplatelet group were treated with Aspirin(100 mg/d) and clopidogrel(300 or 600 mg/d),then clopidogrel was ceased after 1 year and used only Aspirin. The main parameters during follow up included all-cause death,major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE),the secondary parameters during follow- up were recurrence of angina pectoris,myocardial infarction,revascularization and hemorrhage within 2 years. Results The recurrence of angina pectoris and revascularization were found in 1 case (0.85%) and 1 case(0.85%) respectively in the triple antiplatelet group,while 8 cases(6.90%) and 8 cases (6.90%) in the double antiplatelet group,with significant difference between the two groups(both x2 =4.27,P<0.05).All cause death,myocardial infarction,cerebral apoplexy and hemorrhage were not found in the triple antiplatelet group,while 1 case of death,1 case with myocardial infarction,1 case with apoplexy and no hemorrhage appeared in the double antiplatelet group,with no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions The triple antiplatelet added with cilostazol in the elderly after drug eluting stent implantation may decrease the recurrence of angina pectoris and revascularization with higher security.

Objective To study the changes of plasma cystatin C level (PcyC),and evaluate the effects of the joint use of atorvastatin and probucol on PcyC and severity of coronary lesion in patients with borderline lesion of coronary artery.Methods One hundred and thirty consecutive patients with borderline coronary lesion assessed by quantitative coronary angiography were enrolled into borderline coronary lesion group (BCL),and another 136 subjects without coronary lesion were enrolled as controls (CTR).And in the meantime,the subjects in BCL group were randomized (closed envelope method) into routine treatment subgroup ( RTT,n =60),and combined treatment subgroup in which patients were treated with atorvastatin 20 mg plus probucol 1.0 g daily in addition to routine medication ( CBT,n =70) for 6 months.There were no statistical differences in basic clinical features between two subgroups.PcyC,high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and triglycerides (TG) were determined.Of them,104 patients in BCL group rechecked by coronary angiography.Comparison of biomarkers carried out between two groups by using a number of independent-sample t-test and analysis of variance.For enumeration data,chi-square test was used to compare mean values of biomarkers between groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results PcyC levels were significantly higher in BCL group than those in CTR group ( P < 0.05 ).Compared with RTT subgroup,levels of PcyC,TC,LDL-C,TG and hs-CRP were more significantly decreased in CBT subgroup (P < 0.05,P < 0.01 ).Moreover,there was a trend of slight decrease in the mean percent of stenosis (MPS) of coronary artery with borderline lesion in RTT subgroup treated for 6 months,whereas more marked decrease in the MPS of coronary artery with borderline coronary lesion in CBT subgroup treated for 6 months ( P > 0.05 ; P < 0.05 ).Conclusions Cystatin C plays an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery,and PcyC is associated with severity of coronary lesion,the combination of atorvastatin and probucol decreases the PcyC level,and it may be the treatment of choice for borderline lesion of coronary artery.
