[Objective]To discuss professor Wu Kaopan’s academic thoughts by studying plain questions(Su Wen), Miraculous Pivot(Ling Shu), Medical Prob-lems. [Methods]Through the study on Wu’s papers and works of plain questions(Su Wen), Miraculous Pivot, using literature research method, sort and study these papers and works. [Results]This paper introduces Wu’s study on classics, using methods not only col ating, exegetics, annotation and modern translation, but also classification, analysis and exposition, the result is theoretical essence and academic ideas in such works are explored. [Conclusion]For researchers, the study of classics of Chinese medicine requires basic theory of it, what’s more, broad and profound literature knowledge is more important.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban in the treatment of aged patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Two hundred and fifty-six patients with ACS who underwent primary PCI were randomly divided into two groups: tirofiban group (tirofiban + PCI treatment, n= 130) and control group (routine PCI treatment, n = 126). Tirofiban group was further divided into two subgroups according to the age: aged group(age ≥60 years, n= 68) and non-elderly group(age<60 years, n=62). At the end of PCI procedure, angiographic features such as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade, corrected TIMI frames count and TIMI myocardial perfusion grades (TMPG) were analyzed immediately. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was observed within 36 hours and 30 days after PCI, and the incidence rates of thrombocytopenia and bleeding were assessed. Results There was no significant difference between both the two study groups and the two subgroups in the basic clinical or angiographic characteristics before PCI (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups in TIMI 3 flow achievement rate in culprit vessels after PCI (93.6% vs. 91.3%, χ~2 = 1.02, P= 0.313). In tirofiban group, corrected TIMI frames count was significantly higher than that in control group (31.6±7.7 vs. 23.8±6.1, t = 2.49, P 0.026), and TMPG 3 achievement rate was also higher (83.1% vs. 67.5% ,χ~2=4.05, P=0.046). The incidence of MACE was significantly lower in tirofiban group than that in control group both within 36 hours and 30 days after procedure(6.9% vs. 19.0%, χ~2= 6.30, P= 0.013; 3.8% vs. 11.90%, χ~2= 5.82,P=0.018, respectively). No statistical difference was found in mild bleeding complications between the two groups (20.2% vs. 15.2%, χ~2 =3.65, P=0.065), but the incidence of mild bleeding was higher in aged group than that in the non-elderly group(25.0% vs. 14.5%,χ~2=4.98, P=0.026), and the incidences of serious bleeding and thrombocytopenia were similar between the two subgroups. Conclusions Intravenous tirofiban infusion is safe in aged ACS patients during primary PCI, and has favorable short-term outcomes compared with routine treatment, although there is a slight risk of mild bleeding.
