Objective: To explore the impact of ticagrelor on platelet aggregation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods: A total of 98 ACS patients received PCI in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2015-12 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: Clopidogrel group, the patients received oral clopidogrel 300mg at first time and then maintained by 75mg/qd, n=48 and Ticagrelor group, the patients received oral ticagrelor 180mg at first time and then maintained by 90mg/bid, n=50. All patients were treated for 12 months.The level of vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation and platelet reactivity index (PRI) at pre-medication and 24h, 7 days and 1 month after PCI were detected; major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and bleeding events were recorded within 1 month after PCI, the incidence of platelet aggregation, MACE and bleeding events were compared between 2 groups.Results: The baseline information and PCI condition were similar between 2 groups, P>0.05. The overall average PRI was different between 2 groups, P<0.001 and PRI at each time point was different between 2 groups, P<0.001, different group and time point had interactive effect on PRI, P<0.001. Compared with Clopidogrel group, Ticagrelor group had the lower ratio of PRI≥50% at different time points after PCI, P<0.001. The incidence of MACE and bleeding event were similar between 2 groups within 1 month after PCI, P>0.05. Conclusion: Ticagrelor was superior toclopidogrel for anti-platelet aggregation in ACS patients after PCI, it didn't increase bleeding events.

Objective To evaluate hepatic functional reserve and operational risks of primary hepatic carcinoma in Child A using functional CT.Methods In 128 cases of primary hepatic carcinoma of Child A undergoing hepatoectomy and identified by pathology, CT perfusion scanning and measurement of remannent hepatic volume were done before operation and whole patients were divided in-to acute hepatic failure group(AHF group,33 cases)and non-acute hepatic failure(non-AHF group,95 cases).All variables were ana-lyzed by one way analysis of variance(one-way ANOVA)firstly.The variables with significance (P<0.05)were analyzed with Step-wise Logistic regression further.Results One-way ANOVA result:There were significant difference between two groups in RHVS measured by CT,PVP,HBF,HBV,serum creatinine,thrombinogen activity,total bilirubin and intraoperative blood loss (P<0.05).The StepwiseLogistic regression analysis demonstrated that decreased RHVS and the lowed PVP were the independent risk factors of AHF complicated to hepatoectomy of primary hepatic carcinoma(P<0.01).Conclusion Hepatic functional reserve and operational risks of primary hepatic carcinoma could be j udged with functional CT before operation .

Objective: To determine the protective effect of zero-balanced ultraifltration and modiifed ultraifltration on infants’ pulmonary function atfer cardiac surgery. Methods: Sixty infants with congenital heart diseases were randomly divided into 3 groups: a zero-balanced ultraifltration group (Z group), a modiifed ultraifltration group (M group) and a zero-balanced ultraifltrationwith modified ultrafiltration group (Z+M group). Oxygenation index (OI), difference of alveoli-arterial oxygen pressure (P(A-α)O2), static lung compliance (Cstat), and airway resistance (Raw) were measured before caridopulmonary bypass (CPB, T1), 20 minutes atfer the CPB (T2), 2 h atfer the operation (T3), 6 h atfer the operation (T4) and 12 h atfer the operation (T5). hTe time of mechanical ventilation was also monitored. Results:Atfer the CPB, OI and Cstat in all groups decreased signiifcantly, while Raw and P(A-α)O2 increased signiifcantly. At T3, T4 and T5, OI and Cstat in the Z+M group were signiifcantly higher than those in the Z group and the M group (P<0.05), Raw andP(A-α)O2 in the Z+M group were signiifcantly lower than those in the Z group and the M group (P<0.05). hTe ventilation time in the Z+M group was signiifcantly shorter than that in the Z group and the M group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Zero-balanced ultrafiltration and modified ultrafiltration can effectively promote the pulmonary function atfer cardiac surgery in infants.

Objective To evaluate the characteristics of abdominal aorta wall motion in different stages of rats atherosclerosis with velocity vector imaging (VVI) technique. Methods Twenty-four healthy SD rats were on high-fat feeding after one week ordinary diet. Abdominal aortic intima-media thickness (IMT), end-systolic blood vessel diameter (Ds), peak systolic velocity (Vs), resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI) were measured before and at the end of 8th and 12nd week. Artery wall peak velocity (V_(max)), maximum tangential strain (S_(max)) and the maximum tangential strain rate (SR_(max)) were caculated with VVI. Results Abdominal aortic intima was rough and a small amount of foam cells were found under the light microscope at the end of 8 weeks of high-fat feeding. The values of Smax and SRmax measured at the end of 8th week of high-fat feeding decreased significantly than those of before high-fat feeding (P<0.05). At the end of 12nd week, abdominal aortic intimal was thicker and atherosclerotic plaque appeared somewhere. There were significant differences in artery IMT, Ds, Vs, RI, PI between before and the end of 2nd week of high-fat feeding (P<0.05);the values of V_(max), S_(max), SR_(max) decreased significantly than those of before and at the end of 8th week of high-fat feeding (P<0.05). Conclusion VVI can quantitatively evaluate the vessel wall elasticity in different stage of arteriosclerosis rats.

Objective To explore the prognosis and management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with atrial septal defect(ASD) accompanied by AF after transcatheter closure of ASD. Methods During the period from July 2010 to May 2013, a total of 24 patients with ASD accompanied by AF were admitted to authors’ hospital to receive transcatheter closure of ASD. Electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray film and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were performed before and one day after the operation. Follow-up information was obtained through telephone or at out-patient clinic interview. Results Successful occlusion of ASD was obtained in all patients, and in no patient the AF rhythm turned to sinus rhythm after the procedure. In one patient preoperative AF turned to postoperative atrial flutter, and AF recurred in one case who had received transcatheter ablation of AF before the procedure. One female patient developed gastric bleeding during the course of orally taking warfarin, and she died of cerebral infarction at three days after ceasing the use of warfarin. Of the 24 patients, no anticoagulant drug was used in 5 (20.8%), oral administration of aspirin was given in 7 (29.2%), and oral medication of warfarin was employed only in 11 (45.8%). Conclusion The spontaneous conversion rate of AF is very low in patients with ASD complicated by AF after transcatheter closure of ASD. Postoperative medication of anticoagulation should be strictly standardized and carefully managed.

Objective To investigate the value of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) combined with serum calcitonin in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).Methods Retrospective analysis of the serum calcitonin and FANC results in 17 cases of MTC confirmed by pathological examination.The diagnostic value of the two methods alone and in combination for MTC were compared.Results 13 of the 17 MTC patients (13/17,76.5％) underwent fine needle aspiration biopsy before surgery,11 cases (11/13,84.6％) diagnosed as thyroid malignant tumor,7 of whom were diagnosed or suspected of MTC (7/13,53.8％).Serum calcitonin levels increased in different degrees in 16 patients.The sensitivity of the two methods combined in the diagnosis of MTC was 92.3％ (12/13).Conclusions FNAC is an important diagnostic method for the evaluation of thyroid nodules,but it is not sensitive to the diagnosis of MTC.Serum calcitonin is highly sensitive but not universally available.Compared with FNAC alone,FNAC combined with the serum calcitonin examination may significantly improve the detection rate of MTC preoperative and reduce missed diagnosis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Large cohort studies on relationship between family history of stroke (FHS) and stroke risk are lacking in Asians. We aimed to systematically evaluate the association of FHS with stroke risk in a cohort study of 0.5 million Chinese adults. METHODS: Information about FHS was self-reported. The median follow-up time was 7.16 years and the end-point of follow-up was incident stroke, which was entered directly into the China Kadoorie Biobank system. Multivariate analyses were performed with Cox proportional hazards model, and interaction analyses were carried using likelihood-ratio tests. RESULTS: Compared with participants without FHS, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval, CI) of stroke for participants with FHS was 1.50 (1.46-1.55). The HRs increased with the number of first degree relatives with stroke (HRs=1.41, 1.98 and 2.47 for 1, 2 and ≥3 relatives, respectively, P(trend) <0.001). The HRs were 1.57 (95% CI: 1.50-1.66) and 1.49 (95% CI: 1.45-1.54) for sibling history and parental history, respectively. Similar associations with offspring stroke risk were observed between paternal history (HR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.43-1.54) and maternal history (HR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.43-1.55). Moreover, significant interactions were detected between FHS and health-risk behaviors (tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking). CONCLUSIONS: FHS is an independent risk factor for stroke in Chinese. The more first degree relatives are affected by stroke, the higher are individuals’ risk of suffering from stroke. The management of the health-risk behaviors for reducing stroke should be highlighted, especially for the individuals with FHS.

Hepatitis B virus(HBV)-infected hepatitis is one of the most common infectious disease worldwide. To find novel effective anti-HBV agents, a series of Matijin-Su(MTS)derivatives with aromatic heterocycles were synthesized and evaluated for their anti- HBV activities in HepG2 2. 2. 15 cells. Among them, compounds 7a(IC50=2. 94 μmol/L)and 9a(IC50=2. 21 μmol/L)exhibited more potent inhibitory activity against the replication of HBV DNA in HepG2 2. 2. 15 cells than that of lead compound MTS(IC50=11. 16 μmol/L). Notably, both 7a and 9a displayed a high selective index(SI)of 146. 39 and > 250, respectively, which were also much higher than that of MTS(SI=10. 78). Therefore, compounds 7a and 9a may be promising anti-HBV agents with safety profile for HBV infection.
