Objective To investigate the effects of high loading dose of atorvastatin on lipoprotein-associated phospho?lipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), who underwent emergen?cy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 65 cases with AMI who underwent emergency PCI be?tween October 2011 and August 2013 were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n=32, atorvastatin 20 mg/24 h) and high dose atorvastatin group (n=33, atorvastatin 40 mg/24 h). Two groups of patients were given the same basic treat?ment. Blood samples were obtained before treatment and 72 h after PCI in two groups. Levels of Lp-PLA2, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were detected in two groups. The adverse drug reactions were observed. Results There were no significant differences in Lp-PLA2, IL-6, TNF-α, ALT and AST levels between two groups (P>0.05). After PCI, the levels of Lp-PLA2, IL-6 and TNF-αwere significantly increased compared with those of baseline in two groups, and they were more notable in control group than those of high dose atorvastatin group (P<0.05). The levels of ALT and AST were also significantly higher after operation compared with those of basic levels (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in ALT and AST after PCI between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The high loading dose of atorvastatin in AMI patients underwent emergency PCI can de?crease the inflammation and stabilize the plaques in acute stage, and which is safe.

AIM: To observe the effects and safety of clopidogrel used in percutanous coronary intervention (PCI) while acute occlusions of coronary arteries happened. METHODS: 92 patients with acute occlusions of coronary arteries were treated through PCI and they were randomized equally into following groups: clopidogrel group (CPG group) and ticlopidine group (TCP group). Each patient was treated with clopidogrel 25 mg bid or ticlopidine 250 mg bid for 4 weeks after PCI. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, there was not significantly difference in platelet aggregation ( 45.36 ? 2.98 vs 51.60 ? 2.56 ) and clinical effects ( 97.95 % vs 93.02 %) after 3 weeks. The proportion of patients with adverse events who had to release the treatment was 2.04 % (CPG group) and 16.27 % (TCP group). CONCLUSION: The clinical effect of clopidogrel is similar to ticlopidine and shows less adverse events.

Objective To investigate the effects of ibutilide and amiodarone on the ventricular transmural heteroge-neity of repolarization and ventricular arrhythmia for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Methods Eighty-seven patients with paroxymal atrial fibrillation at 48 h~7 d were enrolled and randomized to two groups, ibutilide and amiodarone treat-ment groups. The successful rate of cardioversion to sinus rhythm was compared between two groups. The electrocardiograph-ic QT interval and Tpeak-end/QT ratio were also analyzed before and after treatment in two groups. Results The successful rate of cardioversion was significantly higher in ibutilide group than that of amiodarone group (61.7%vs 40.7%, P<0.05). The QT intervals and Tpeak-end/QT ratio were both significantly increased in ibutilide group (P<0.05), which were re-turned to the levels before treatment in 2 hours and 1 hour, respectively (P<0.05). The QT intervals were significantly in-creased in the amiodarone group (P<0.01), which were continued until 4 h after treatment. There were no significant differ-ences in the Tpeak-end/QT ratios before and after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion The successful rate of cardioversion to sinus rhythm for atrial fibrillation by ibutilide was significantly higher compared with that of amiodarone. Ibutilide slightly in-creased the transmural heterogeneity of repolarization within the first hour, which may increase the risk of ventricular arrhyth-mia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM), and the diagnosis and optimal treatment of LPL/WM.Methods:The clinical data of 13 LPL/WM patients treated in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2013 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and the literature was reviewed.Results:The median age of 13 patients was 60 years old (35-79 years old). There were 12 males and 1 female. Initial symptom was fatigue or edema of both lower limbs for majority of patients. All patients had immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal, 3 of them had elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) level, including 1 patient with monoclonal IgG. LDH was increased in 2 patients. Coombs test was positive in 5 patients. MyD88 gene mutation status was detected in 8 patients, of which gene mutation in 5 patients was positive. Among 13 patients, 1 patient lost follow-up, 3 patients died, 9 patients were alive with the median survival of 36 months (19-81 months).Conclusions:Incidence of LPL/WM is relatively low with a generally indolent evolution, but heterogeneity is not negligible. Few patients have poor treatment response with a quick disease progress. The high-risk patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after remission-induction chemotherapy may improve the prognosis.
