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.

The aim of the experimental study is to investigate shortterm toxicity of an initial domestic Methotrexate microspheres(MTX-ms)by hepatic arterial infusion in rats,provide some experimental bases for clinic interventional treatment of liver carcinoma with this new chemoembolization agent.Compareing with control group and MTX group, MTX-ms of largedoses could result in temporal rise of GPT and AKP,deterioration or necroses of animal's liver at different degrees,12 days later a number of microspheres could still be found in the small arteries of the necrotizing area.No pathological changes related to microsphere could be found in other main organs(heart,spleen,lung and kidney).Results suggested that chemoembolization effect of MTX-ms is relatively strong;for effectively oc- cluding blood flow of hepatic arteries on the level of small arteries.Meanwhile MTX-ms oc- clud blood supply of liver carcinoma,they may also cause damages of normal liver tissue. Clinically more attention ought to be paid to the dosage of MTX1 microspheres and thus avoid the overflow of more microspheres to the normal liver tissue causing damage.

BACKGROUND: Electrochemically deposited coating, as an alternative method of plasma spraying coating, has arose widely attention, however, few reports concerning its in vivo biological features, especially the effect of coating on early osseointegration and duration of bone healing is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the early osseointegration of electrodepositied calcium phosphate and calcium phosphate/chitosan coatings on rabbits' femurs. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An open experiment. The experiment was performed at the Key Laboratory for Oral Biomedical Engineering of Ministry of Education, Stomatology School of Wuhan University from April 2008 to May 2009. MATERIALS: Eighteen male Japanese rabbits were supplied by the animals' center of Wuhan University. Ti_6Al_4V alloy was purchased from Baoji Titanium Nickel Co., Ltd. Chitosan with over 75% degree of deacetylation was produced by American Sigma Company.METHODS: ① Cylindrical titanium alloy implants (3.3×8.0 mm) were designed with a gap (0.3×4.0 mm) in the middle part by using precision machine tool. The implants were prepared electrodeposited calcium phosphate coating surface (ELD group) and electrodeposited calcium phosphate/chitosan coating surface (ELDC group) with 2.5 mA/cm~2 electric current and 52 V temperature. Meantime, the implants with sandblasted surface were prepared as the control group. Totally 36 implants were randomly inserted into the distal femur condyles of 18 rabbits, and the new bone formation was labeled by fluorescence staining. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At weeks 2 and 4 after operation, the implants were subjected to histological and histomorphometric analysis. RESULTS: All groups were observed different-quantity new bone formation. However, only ELDC group was seen fibrous tissues intervened at bone-to-implant interface. The ELD coatings were heterogeneously degraded, and the majority of the ELDC coatings were degraded. The new bone within gaps of ELD and control groups could be seen under the confocal laser scanning microscope with a continuous process of bone apposition. Percentages of bone-to-implant contact within and outside of the gaps of ELD group at weeks 2 and 4 were significantly higher than those of ELDC and control groups (P < 0.05). Bone formation rates of ELD group were significantly higher than those of ELDC group at weeks 2 and 4 after operation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: ELD implants can promote early osseointegration and induce bone tissue growth into the gaps; however, ELDC implants go against osseointegration of rabbit femurs.

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.
