Objective To explore the perioperative antithrombotic strategy in percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for the patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)who were treated with long-term warfarin anticoagulation,and to evaluate the safety of the strategy and short-term efficacy.Methods The clinical data of 76 patients were analyzed,who underwent coronary stenting while treated with long-term warfarin anticoagulation.All of them had unstable angina.The reasons of requiring warfarin anticoagulation were cardiac valve replacement [51(67.1%)],pulmonary embolism within half a year [6(7.9%)],and sustained atrial fibrillation at high risk of stroke [19(25.0%)].Warfarin was withdrawn and low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)was administered as alternative anti-thrombus drugs before PCI.PCI was performed when international normalized ratio(INR)went less than or equal to 1.3.LMWH was administered combined with low dose aspirin(100mg/d)and clopidogrel(75mg/d)post PCI,while warfarin was resumed too.When INR arrived at 1.8,LMWH was withdrawn.Warfarin was administered in a dose adjusted to achieve the target INR of 1.8 to 2.3.Clopidogrel was withdrawn 1 month later.Aspirin(75-100mg/d)was continued,and then warfarin was resumed to the dose before PCI.The data of the incidence of ischemic events,major adverse cardiac events(MACE),subacute instent thrombus(SAT),and hemorrhage events during hospital period were analyzed.Results The incidence of hemorrhage events was 5.3%(4/76),one of them was secondary hemorrhage events.The rate of MACE was 1.3%(1/76).No main hemorrhage events and SAT occurred during hospitalization related to regulating antithrombotic strategy.Conclusions As alternatives of warfarin,LMWH is taken before PCI,and then the low dose of aspirin,clopidogrel,LMWH and warfarin are admitted in a short period after PCI,the dosage of warfarin should be accurately adjusted according INR post PCI,and then the LMWH is taken out of service timely,such a strategy is safe and efficient in peri-percutaneous coronary intervention for the patients with CHD who were treated with maintaining warfarin anticoagulation.

Objective The aim of the study was to analyze the predictive value of the European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation score (EuroSCORE) and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality (STS-PROM) in -dult patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR).Methods We carried out a retrospective statistical analysis on 521 adult patients undergoing AVR between 1999 and 2008 in Changhai hospital.Patients with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting were also included.Excluded from this study were patients having surgery for congenital heart defects,aneurysm of thoracic aorta and atrial fibrillation.Operative mortality was defined as death before discharge from the hospital.The mortality risk calculation of EuroSCORE and STS-PROM for aortic valve procedures was performed by the online available EuroSCORE or STS score calculator.Based on the additive EuroSCORE risk calculation,patients were divided into low-risk,medium-risk and high-risk groups.The valuation of three different algorithms depended on the assessment of two features:calibration and discrimination.A comparison of observed and predicted mortality rates was also performed.Results A total of 521 patients were identified as having undergone aortic valve replacement.In-hospital mortality was 4％ (21 cases) overall.The expected mortality for the additive,logistic EuroSCORE and the STS-PROM was 3.36％,2.82％ and 1.25％,respectively.The observed to expected ratio was 1.2 for additive EuroSCORE,1.43 for logistic EuroSCORE and 3.23 for STS-PROM.The STS-PROM underpredicted observed mortality significantly ( P ＜ 0.01 ) and showed poor calibration in predicting in-hospital mortality in the entire cohort,medium- and high-risk subgroups.The logistic EuroSCORE underpredicted observed mortality in the mediumrisk subgroup ( P ＜ 0.05 ).EuroSCORE underpredicted in-hospital mortality in the high-risk subgroup with the observed-expected mortality rate of 1.84 for additive EuroSCORE and 1.46 for logistic EuroSCORE.The EuroSCORE in three subgroups showed poor discrimination in predicting mortality as well as the STS-PROM did in the medium- and high-risk subgroups ( ROC ＜ 0.7).Conclusion Both the EuroSCORE and the STS-PROM give an imprecise prediction for individual operative risk in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement in our study.These algorithms seem unsuitable to identify a high-risk patient population undergoing isolated AVR.It is necessary to construct a risk stratification model for valve surgery according to the profiles of Chinese patients.

Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a condition characterized by rap id eye movement sleep without atonia and with complex behaviors associated with dreams.Numerous studies have revealed that idiopathic RBD is the prodromal manifestation of neurodegenerative disorders,especially those mediated by α-synuclein.The structural and functional imaging of RBD,including transcranial sonog raphy (TCS),MRI,SPECT,PET,are increasingly becoming the hot issues.This review summarizes the radionuclide imaging in RBD,which may be one of the most promising modalities to detect the biomarkers for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders.

BACKGROUND: The role of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) has been controversial in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy with a platinum agent. We investigated ERCC1 expression in stage I-II NSCLC to clarify its significance for adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS: The ERCC1 expression profile was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and compared according to adjuvant chemotherapeutic agents in 146 patients who underwent surgical resection for stage I-II NSCLC. The patients were divided into 3 groups; adjuvant chemotherapy with a platinum based agent (18.5%, 27/146); adjuvant chemotherapy with uracil-tegafur (UFT) (40.4%, 59/146); surgery-alone (41.1%, 60/146). RESULTS: Nuclear ERCC1 expression was detected in 71.9% (105/146) of NSCLC and was significantly associated with a shortened survival period in the group 1 patients who received the platinum based regimen after surgery. The group 2 patients who received UFT showed the longest survival period, followed by the surgery-alone group (overall survival, p=0.049; disease-free survival [DFS], p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that stage I-II NSCLC patients with ERCC1 expression experience a shorter DFS period with adjuvant chemotherapy with a platinum based regimen and may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy with UFT, instead of platinum after surgery.
