Objective To study warfarin and aspirin for ischemic stroke prevention in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods Fifty-three elderly patients with atrial fibrillation from January 2007 to December 2009 were enrolled in this study.All patients were divided into two groups by random digits table method:warfarin group treated with warfarin and aspirin group treated with aspirin.Incidence rate of ischemic stroke,side effect and cost-effectiveness were compared between two groups.Results Forty-nine patients were followed up,the dropout rate was 7.5％(4/53),28 patients in warfarin group,21 patients in aspirin group.Incidence rate of ischemic stroke in warfarin and aspirin group was 3.6％(1/28) and 28.6％(6/21),and there was significant difference (x2 =4.28,P ＜0.05).No significant difference was observed for side effect between two groups (x2 =0.07,P ＞ 0.05).For cost-effectiveness analysis,the ratio of cost-effectiveness was 16.3 yuan and 10.4 yuan in warfarin and aspirin group respectively,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Warfarin is more effective for ischemic stroke prevention in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation,but costs more than aspirin.

BACKGROUND:Laryngeal cartilage defect has a higher incidence, mainly presenting with pain, sweling, and dysfunction after onset. Currently, surgical treatment is the most used in clinical treatment of laryngeal cartilage defect. Although conventional materials can effectively improve symptoms, there is a poor long-term efficacy. In recent years, there are many clinical studies on cartilage tissue engineering, but less about the actual use in the otorhinolaryngology department.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymer carrying chondrocytes on the repair of alogeneic laryngeal cartilage defects.
METHODS:Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHH) served as the extracelular matrix. Tissue engineering technology was used to prepare cel-material composite. Primary tissue-engineered cartilage tissue was transplanted directly into rabbit thyroid cartilage defect (experimental group A), or implanted into a more mature tissue-engineered cartilage for the repair of thyroid cartilage defect (experimental group B). In the experiment, PHBHH group and simple chondrocyte group were set as controls. Repairing effects on thyroid cartilage defect were evaluated through gross and histological observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Chondrocytes in the primary tissue-engineered cartilage tissues were beaded under scanning electron microscope, and after 4 weeks of culture, a large amount of jely-shaped substrates were visible. Findings from electron microscope observation showed that the cels were distributed on the surface of composite material and cavernous voids, displaying a plurality of smal round projections. Surgical treatment was successful in al the rabbits, and there was no dyspnea and eating difficulties after surgery. One rabbit appeared to have brief wheezing in the experimental group A, two rabbits died of diarrhea in the experimental B group at 2 weeks after surgery. PHBHH composite carrying chondrocytes had certain hardness. At 4 weeks after subcutaneous implantation, mature cels were shaped as white sheets, and the material had elasticity. After 4 and 8 weeks, the space between repair zone and original cartilage tissue was smooth and plain, but the repair zone was colored yelow. In the simple PHBHH and chondrocyte groups, the repair zones were both depressed, only the connective tissues could be seen. Rabbits in the two experimental groups showed less adverse reactions compared with the two control groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that PHBHH composite carrying chondrocytes has better effects to repair alogeneic laryngeal cartilage defects.

Epidemiologic studies suggest that intake of excess all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) during embryogenesis induces various developmental defects and the central nervous system (CNS) represents a major site of the teratogenic action of RA. It is therefore important to understand which parameters are affected early by excessive RA in order to devise and improve protective nutritional strategies. The modulations of beta-catenin and caspase-3 levels were investigated in the KM mouse embryo following maternal treatment with a single oral dose of 30mg/kg body weight of RA during the neurula period. In addition, retinoic receptors (RARs) are key transcription factors regulating gene expression in response to RA-activated signals. So the experiment was designed to evaluate whether the alterations in protein expression of RAR alpha and beta during the time of neural tube closure were induced by excessive RA. Maternal intake of excess RA induced early downregulation of RAR alpha and beta, beta-catenin and caspase-3 expression, which was followed by an increase in their expressive levels in the neural tube tissue of mouse embryos. This finding suggests that the alterations in the expression profile of RAR alpha and beta, beta-catenin and caspase-3 may be implicated in the teratogenesis induced by excess RA in KM mouse embryo.
