Objective To evaluate the short-term effect of early treatment with clopidogrel before elective coronary stenting in patients with NSTE-ACS,compared with treatment with clopidogrel at the time of the procedure. Methods Patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing elective coronary stenting were randomly divided into two groups: early treatment group (n=272) and control group (n=265). Patients in the early treatment group were given clopidogrel immediately since hospitalization (300 mg loading dose, then 75 mg once daily); while in the control group, patients were given clopidogrel (300 mg) after coronary angiography followed by 75 mg per day after PCI. The composite endpoints were death, recurrent angina pectoris, instent thrombosis, myocardial infarction and urgent target vessel revascularization within 30 days after coronary stenting. Results Differences in baseline characteristics among patients between the two groups were negligible. There were no significant difference in the target vessel lesions requiring stenting between the 2 groups. Compared with the control group, early administration of clopidogrel showed a lower rate of death, myocardial infarction, refractory ischaemia, instent thrombosis and revascularization within 30 days of PCI. Conclusion Compared with administration of clopidogrel at the time of coronary stenting, pre-treatment with clopidogrel in patients with NSTE-ACS could significantly reduce the odds of adverse cardiovascular event and improve clinical outcomes within 30 days of PCI.

Objective The animal model of rheumatoid arthritis was established in Lewis rats by a single intradermal injection of pristane. Methods The degree of pathogenicity and the pathological characteristics were assayed by histiopathological techniques and joint roentgenography. Results The incidence of arthritis in rats immunized by pristane was 62.5%. Peripheral joints were mainly involved. A chronic relapsing and progressive arthritis was developed.As showed by histopathology and roentgenography, typical arthritis pathology such as synovial proliferation, articular cartilage and bone erosien were found. Conclusion Pristane induced arthritis mirrors human rheumatoid arthritis and is a very good animal model for rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of facilitated PCI(low-dose rt-PA combined with percutaneous coronary intervention)in acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods One hundred and sixteen patients with AMI were divided into low-dose facilitated PCI group(n=69)and direct PCI group(n=47).69 patients in low-dose facilitated PCI group were treated with an intravenous drip of 50 mg rt-PA and PCI,while 47 patients in direct PCI group were treated with PCI.The rates of recanalization before and after PCI,and the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and major hemorrhage and major adverse cardiac events(MACE)in hospital were compared in two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the interval from hospitalization to the PCI between low-dose facilitated PCI group and direct PCI group.Compared with direct PCI group,the rates of recanalization and TIMI grade 3 before PCI were significantly higher in low-dose facilitated PCI group(44.7% vs 21.7%,P

AIM:To research the effects of Kanglaite(KLT)injection on antitumor and expression of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)in Lewis lung carcinoma(LLC).METHODS:A total of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups,including model group,KLT 6.25,12.5,25 mL/kg groups.All the mice were injected with 2?106 LLC cells at 1st day.At the next day,mice in the KLT groups were peritoneally injected with KLT for 14 days.And at the 16th day,all the mice were sacrificed and the tumors were harvested.The tumor weight was measured and the tumor growth inhibition rate was analyzed.The expression of EGFR was detected by westernblot.RESULTS:The growth of LLC was significantly inhibited by KLT,the changes of tumor appearance and histology were affected and the expression level of EGFR was decreased.CONCLUSION:KLT injection could obviously inhibit the growth of LLC,whose mechanism maybe related to the inhibition of EGFR expression.

This study was aimed to establish an Ultra Fast Liquid Chromatography-Photo Diode Array (UFLC-PDA) method for the simultaneous determination of five chemical components, which included chlorogenic acid, loganin, sweroside, evodia rutaecarpa glycosides and triplostoside A, in Pterocephalus hookeri h eck. Agilent Poroshell 120 SB-C18 (100 mm í 4.6 mm, 2.7 μm) was adopted, with acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid solution in gradient elution as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. And the injection volume was 0.4 μL. The detection wavelength was set up at 237 nm and 325 nm. And the column temperature was 30℃. The results showed that the calibration curve was linear within the range of 8.72~218.0, 1.52~38.0, 2.44~61.0, 29.36~734.0, 3.00~75.0μg·mL-1 (r > 0.999 6, n=9) for chlorogenic acid, loganin, sweroside, evodia rutaecarpa glycosides and triplostoside A, respectively. The average recovery rates were 99.46%, 99.41%, 100.14%, 98.89%, and 99.42%, respectively. The RSD was 0.69%, 0.66%, 0.60%, 1.21%, and 0.64%, respectively (n = 9). It was concluded that this method was simple, accurate and reproducible, which can be used for the simultaneous determination of the content of five chemical components in P. hookeri.

Background In previous study,peripheral retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness is considered to be the earliest structural changes which can be detected.3D-OCT can measure the thickness of macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC),which makes the detection of primary glaucoma possible in the early stage.Objective This study was to measure the thickness of mGCC and disc-peripheral RNFL in early stage of primary glaucomous eyes by 3D-OCT and assess the anatomic basis of glaucoma-induced optical nerve damage.Methods 3D-OCT images from 10 patients with advanced stage primary glaucoma in one lateral eye and early stage glaucoma in fellow eye from December 2010 to December 2012 were prospectively analyzed in China-Japan Friendship Hospital.The patients were diagnosed based on the recommended standard of National glaucoma group (1987 version) and received routine eye examination.3D-OCT scanning was performed using 3D-macular mode,3D-macular Wide mode and 3D-disc mode with TOPCON 3D-OCT 2000 system,and the images at macular 6 mm×6 mm area were analyzed.The posterior pole area was divided into 5 concentric rings from fovea toward periphery and equally subdivided into 100 small checks,with the area of 0.6 mm×0.6 mm for each.The probable values in each check were calculated as the ratio of each figure and corresponding normal value.The probable values were expressed as red color (P＜ 1％),yellow color (P＜5％) and gray color (P≥ 5％).Then the disc-periphery RNFL thickness and disc cup were evaluated.Results No evident abnormality was found in the thicknesses of photoreceptors layer and bipolar cell layer in both advanced glaucomous eyes and the early stage of glaucomous eyes in the 10 patients.Serious damage of visual field was seen in the advanced glaucomous eyes and presented with red color in the parapapillary RNFL area,mGCC area and macular RNFL area,showing an evidently attenuation of the thicknesses of parapapillary RNFL,mGCC and RNFL.However,the visual field was close normal in the early stage glaucomous eyes,and mGCC and macular RNFL showed yellow color,while green or yellow color was exhibited in the parapapillary RNFL area,indicating mGCC and macular RNFL thickness was reduced,but parapapillar RNFL thickness was near normal.Conclusions The change of mGCC thickness is earlier than that of peripheral RNFL at optic disc in primary glaucomaous eyes,which may imply that the disappear of macular ganglion cell body is earlier than that of the axon.

Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA-101 (miRNA-101) on atrial fibrosis in human chronic atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Right atrial appendages were obtained from 59 patients (30 with AF) undergoing cardiac surgery, including 47 patients with valve heart disease and 12 patients with congenital heart disease. The expression of miRNA-101 was determined by quantitative real-time PCR in the right atrial appendages of patients with and without AF. The cell-specific localization of miRNA-101 was detected by in situ hybridization assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of transforming growth factor β typeⅠreceptor (TGFβRⅠ) and collagen type I (COL1) were determined by quantitative real-time PCR and Western-blot assay, respectively. Collagen in the right atrial appendages was observed by Masson staining assay. Results The expression of miRNA-101 was found to be significantly down-regulated in AF patients compared with patients with sinus rhythm (SR) (P < 0.05). The result of miRNA-ISH showed that miRNA-101, which was highly distributed within the connective tissues of heart, was down-regulated at about 24.9% in patients with AF compared with patients with SR. No significant differences at the mRNA expression level of TGFβRI was found between patients with AF and patients with SR (P > 0.05). But the protein expression of TGFβRI in patients with AF was significantly higher than that of patients with SR (P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expressionsl of COL1 were significantly higher in patients with AF than thoset of patients with SR (P < 0.05). The collagen was significantly increased in patients with AF than that of patients with SR (P < 0.05). Conclusions Downregulation of miRNA-101 may contribute to atrial fibrosis in human atrial fibrillation by targeting TGFβRⅠ.
