Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2010;29(1):33-34
Objective To compare the efficacy of domestic low-dose versus conventional-dose clopidogrel for patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Methods A total of 206 UAP patients were randomly assigned to low-dose clopidogrel (50 mg/day) as treatment group and conventional-dose clopidogrel (75 mg/day) as control group. Treatment continued for 12 months to observe the extent of alleviating angina and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Results The numbers of markedly effective, effective, ineffective and worse patients were 56(52.8%), 22 (20.8%), 11(10.4%) and 17(16.0%) in treatment group, and those were 52(51.0%), 20 (19.6%), 12(11.8%) and 18(17.7%) in control group (all P>0. 05). There was death in 3 cases, non-fatal myocardial infarction in 2 cases in treatment group, and death in 4 cases, non-fatal myocardial infarction in 2 cases in control group (χ~2 =0. 620, P>0. 05). Low-dose group had a lower incidence of adverse reactions. Conclusions The efficacy of low-dose clopidogrel for patients with UAP is not inferior to conventional-dose, and the safety is well.

Objective To observe the formation process with 3.0 T MRI dynamically, and to discuss the feasibility of molecular imaging studies on restenosis. Methods The models were built with balloon (2.0 F) injury which were separated into restenosis group (n=48) and control group (n=48). Zero h, 24 h, 1 week, 2 week, 4 week and 8 week after surgery, 3.0 T MRI scanning (T1WI, T2WI, PDWI) was performed respectively, the vascular of injured side were obtained for HE staining to observe the pathological changes, to analyze the measurement of neointimal area (IA), intimal proliferation index (IHI), lumen area (LA) and stenosis rates, correlation between HE staining measurements and MR images were analyzed. Two weeks after the injury, the restenosis model of rats (n=8) and control rats (n=8) were injected ultrasmall superparamagntiec iron oxide (USPIO,1 mmol/kg) by tail vein, respectively. 3.0 T MRI scanning (T2WI) was underwent at 0 h and 24 h after injection, the change of the arterial wall T2 signal was quantitatively analyzed and the relative signal intensity (rSI) and relative change rate (rSIC) of the vessel wall were calculated. Reference to MRI images, corresponding line segments were taken for Perl's blue staining and immunohistochemically staining of macrophages. One-way ANOVA, Pearson and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results In the early?term (0 h,24 h), the wall and surrounding high signal organization boundary was not clear, there was no obvious morphological change of the lumen. In the medium?term (1, 2 week), signal of the injured wall increased with different extents, wall thickening and luminal narrowing was progressive, the inwall was coarse. In the later?term (4, 8 week) wall signal got slightly lower, wall thickness, lumen change were not significant, the wall area and LA were significantly associated with pathologic measurement result (r value were 0.978, 0.732; P<0.05). In the control group, signal of wall and lumen morphological change were not significant among the different time points. IA were (0.131 ± 0.011) mm2, (0.588 ± 0.017) mm2, (1.061 ± 0.033) mm2, (1.192 ± 0.034) mm2;1, 2, 4, 8 week after injury, respectively, IHI were 0.235 ± 0.022, 0.578 ± 0.013, 0.715 ± 0.011, 0.737 ± 0.009, respectively, stenosis rates were (5.586 ± 0.987)%, (25.395 ± 1.112)%, (40.019 ± 1.298)%, (41.890 ± 0.951)%, respectively, difference between groups were statistically (P<0.05). In the control group, there was no significant differences of medium area, luminal stenosis and neointimal formation respectively at different time points (P>0.05). rSI was 1.582±0.051 after the injection of USPIO, then 24 h after injection of USPIO, T2 signal of the vessel wall was reduced significantly, rSI was 1.260 ± 0.088, rSIC was (-20.249 ± 6.489) % with statistical difference (t value was 8.924,P<0.05). But there was no statistical difference in control rats (P>0.05). Perl's staining combined with immunohistochemical staining confirmed that the iron particles were taken by the macrophage's phagocytosis just in the neointimal. Conclusion 3.0 T MRI is capable of demonstrating the vessel wall and lumen changes dynamically, and the measurements are correlated with pathological results. USPIO can be consumed by macrophages in the neointimal, resulting in T2 signal of the vessel wall decreased significantly.
