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 establish a way to measure the injury severity of articular surface due to posterior malleolus fracture and investigate its clinical significance based on three-dimensional reconstruction technique.Methods Between May 2009 and March 2014,138 cases of peri-ankle injury combined with posterior malleolus fracture were treated.Lateral radiographs were reviewed to measure the ratio of posterior fragment area to distal tibial plafond area using the common method.Three-dimensional CT images were examined to measure ratio of the area of injury using the three-dimensional measuring method.Statistical comparison was made using the t-test and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results Measurement failed on 33 lateral radiographs and 13 three-dimensional CT images.Six cases cannot be measured by both imaging technology,so results of 98 cases were compared.Ratio of posterior fragment area to tibial plafond area was (16.2 ± 7.2) % measured by radiographs and was (29.6 ±10.1) % by three-dimensional CT scans (P < 0.05).Three-dimensional CT measurements showed higher intra and inter-observer agreement (ICC of 0.973 to 0.942) than that in radiographic measurements (ICC of 0.875 to 0.860).Conclusion Three-dimension CT assessment of the extent of injury to articular surface because of posterior malleolus fracture is reliable and reproducible,but radiographic assessment may underestimate the injury and influence the choice of surgical indications.

Gas chromatography with mass spectrum detector ( GC-MSD) coupled with purge-and-trap system was set up to analyze the concentration of isoprene in natural waters. The best experimental conditions were established, including purge gas flow rate ( 50 mL/min ) , purge time ( 15 min ) , the optimum capillary column ( Rt-Alumina BOND/KCl) and the appropriate condition of temperature programming. When analyzing isoprene in natural waters, the precision was <4% (n=6), the detection limit was 0. 5 pmol/L and the recovery was 91%-102%. The preservative experiment showed that there was no obvious variation in sample concentrations of isoprene within 60 days. The concentrations of isoprene measured with the method ranged from 60 . 8 to 278 . 7 pmol/L in the Jiaozhou Bay and its adjacent river estuaries and from 44 . 7 to 77 . 2 pmol/L in Yellow River estuary, which was in good accord with those results reported in literatures in other coastal waters. In conclusion, the analytical method could meet the requirements of the analysis of concentration of isoprene in natural waters.
