Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2006;0(01):-
Objective To compare the effects of aspirin and warfarin in the elderly patients with chronic nonvalve atrial fibrillation.Methods 431 elderly patients with chronic non-valvalar atrial fibrillation were randomly divided into two groups: group A received aspirin; group B received warfarin.After patients were treated with aspirin or warfarin for two years,the incidence rate of stroke and hemorrhage rate were counted. Results Aspirin was as effective as warfarin in preventing stroke in patients age 65 to 75 years old without risk factor,and warfarin was more effective than aspirin in preventing stroke in patients (≥75) and all patients with risk factors. Warfarin and aspirin had low incidence rate of bleeding. Conclusion For the patients aged 65 to 75 years old have no risk factors, they should be treated with aspirin in preventing stroke .For the older patients older than 75 years old and patients have risk factors, they should be treated with warfarin,which is more efficient than asprin in preventing stroke.

Objective To search some references for estimating the time of death in some murder cases by observation the dynamic changes of organic amines derived from isolated human hepatic tissues. Method The contents of histamines, putrescines, cadaverines and undecomposed amino acids from the isolated human hepatic ussues were assayed dynamically by the method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results The contents of the organic amines produced by the putrefaction under 8℃,15℃ , 23℃ and 32℃ were increased along with the time elapsed after death under four environmental temperatures before attaining to their peak value, While the contents of the undecomposed amino acids were decreased gradually after death. Conclusion The amount of organic amines produced by putrefaction of the isolated human hepatic tissues were directly related to the time of death. So do the environmental temperature.

Objective To examine whether tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is involved in arterial calcification of chronic renal failure (CRF) rats. Methods CRF model was induced in male Wistar rats by garage daily with 2% adenine 250 mg/kg. The calcification of aorta, femoral artery, renal artery and coronary artery was evaluated histomorphometrically by van Kossa-stained sections at 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-week respectively. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to observe the expressive levels of TIMP-1 mRNA and protein. Expressions of TIMP-1, osteopentin (OPN) and core binding factor α1 (Cbfα-1) protein were analyzed by immunhistochemistry. Results Serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, inorganic phosphate, calcium-phosphorus product and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) increased significantly in the model animals compared with control group after 2 weeks (P<0.01). Medial calcification was found in above four arteries of model groups after 6 weeks. RT-PCR and Western blot showed that TIMP-1 expression of model group was significantly higher than that of control group (P< 0.05), and obviously elevated in a time-dependent manner. The expression of TIMP-1 and OPN in calcified aortic smooth muscle cells increased obviously (P<0.05), and positive immunostaining of Cbfα-1 was found. The expression of TIMP-1 was positively correlated with OPN and Cbfα-1 (r=0.317, P=0.000; r=0.485, P=0.000). Conclusions The pathology of arterial calcification in CRF rats induced by adenine is similar to CRF patients, which may serve as a useful model of CRF with arterial calcification. The up-regulation of TIMP-1 seems to participate in the formation and development of vascular calcification in CRF.
