Objective To compare the efficacy of aspirin and rivaroxaban on prevention of deep vein thrombosis after total knee repalcement.Methods Patients (200 cases) who were given total knee replacement were selected,and the patients in aspirin group (98 cases) were administered with asprin after 12 h treatment,and the patients in rivaroxaban group (102 cases) were administered with rivaroxaban after 12 h treatment.The efficacy of aspirin and rivaroxaban to prevent deep vein thrombosis after total knee repalcement was evaluated by blood coagulation indexes,D-dimer level,and complication during perioperative period.Results Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference on coagulation indexes between two groups.After 3 d of operation,there was no statistically significant difference in Plt,APTT,and PT between two groups.The FIB level of aspirin group was improved significantly and higher than that of rivaroxaban group (P ＜ 0.05).While the FIB level of rivaroxaban group was close to the normal level.Before operation,there was no statistically significant difference in D-dimer between two groups.After 1,3,and 7 d of operation,the D-dimer levels in two groups were increased.But the D-dimer levels of 3 and 7 d after operation began to decline.After 1,3,and 7 d of operation,the D-dimer ofrivaroxaban group was lower than that of aspirin group (P ＜ 0.05).During perioperative period,there was no statistically significant difference on DVT between two groups.Conclusion Rivaroxaban could prevent the formation of DVT effectively and reduce the D-dimer with good anticoagulation and high safety.It is worthy of clinical application.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether radiation adaptive response could be induced by high dose I-131 therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Lymphocytes from 21 patients (7 males, 14 females, mean age 55+/-12 years) were collected before and after administration of 5,550 MBq (150 mCi) I-131. They were exposed to a challenge dose of 1 Gy gamma rays using a Cs-137 cell irradiator. The number of ring-form (R) and dicentric (D) chromosomes was counted under the light microscope, and used to calculate the frequency of chromosomal aberration. Ydr, which was defined as the sum of R and D divided by the total number of counted lymphocytes. RESULTS: Ydr in patients before I-131 therapy (0.09+/-0.01) was not different from that of controls (0.08+/-0.01). Ydr was significantly increased to 0.13+/-0.02 (p<0.0001) after I-131 therapy. Increase of Ydr after the challenge irradiation of 1 Gy was significantly lower in patients after I-131 therapy than before I-131 therapy (0.17+/-0.03 vs 0.21+/-0.02, p<0.0001). Cycloheximide (CHM), an inhibitor of protein synthesis, abolished this effect. Ydr after CHM (0.20+/-0.01) was significantly higher than Ydr after I-131 therapy (0.17+/-0.03, p<0.0001), but was not different from Ydr before I-131 therapy (0.21+/-0.02). CONCLUSION: High dose I-131 therapy induces an adaptive response in peripheral lymphocytes of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer, which is associated with protein synthesis.

Objective: To describe the differences of plasma folate concentration and prevalence of folate deficiency in genders and ages in Chinese adults aged 35 to 64 years. Methods: By cross-sectional analysis, plasma folate concentration was measured in 2 545 adults including men and women by microbiological assay. Results: (1) Men tended to have lower plasma folate concentration and higher prevalence of folate deficiency(9.70 nmol/L, 31.0%) than did women(14.2 nmol/L, 12.5%, P=0.001). (2) Men in South have significantly higher plasma folate concentration and lower prevalence of folate deficiency than in North. The difference of plasma folate concentration was not evident between urban and rural area, but evident in North between in winter and spring. There were no significant differences of prevalence of folate deficiency for men between urban and rural areas in both regions. For women, the differences of plasma folate concentration in areas were significant, which were higher in South and urban, and lower in North and rural areas. (3) Plasma folate concentration increased with age in Southern men. A similar trend for others was not significant. Conclusion: Men have lower plasma folate concentration and higher prevalence of plasma folate deficiency than do women. The distribution of plasma folate concentrations in urban and rural areas seems different between men and women.
