Aspirin is one of the major drugs used for preventing atherothrombotic vascular diseases,but not effective to all patients or so-called aspirin resistance.However,the mechanisms of this resistance still remains to be elucidated.The recent progresses is reviewed in the therapeatic effect of aspirin and mechanisms of the drug resistance.

Aim To study the effects of aspirin on increasing the atherosclerotic plaque stability and its possible mechanisms.Methods The hyperlipidemic atherosclerotic model was generated in male New Zealand rabbits given high fat diet and endothelial abrasion of abdominal aorta.These rabbits were then treated with aspirin 5～20 mg?kg-1 for 4 weeks.At experimental end,the plaques were evoked into rupture by injection of Russell's viper venom and histamine.Areas of thrombosis on atherosclerotic aorta were determined by image analysis,morphologic character of plaque rupture was examined by light microscope,the protein expression of macrophages was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the mRNA expression of COX-2 and MMP-2 was determined by hybridization in situ,respectively.Results Aspirin at doses of 5～10 mg?kg-1 was able to inhibit thrombosis on atherosclerotic plaque(P

Objective To explore the features of peripheral blood immune cells in long-term survival recipients after liver transplantation.Methods The expression of T subsets (Th1,Th2,Th17,Th22,Tregs),NK cells,NKt cells,Bregs,MDSC in long-term survival recipients (postoperative follow-up time ≥5 years,30 cases),short-term survival recipients(postoperative follow-up time ≤1 year,15 cases) and healthy control (15 cases) were determined by flowcytometry.Results Th17 cells were significantly higher in the long-term group compared with short-term group and healthy control group(P ＜0.01).Tregs in long-term group compared with short-term group were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.01),but the difference was not statistically significant compared with healthy control group (P ＞ 0.05).NK cells were significantly higher in long-term group compared with short-term group and healthy control group (P ＜ 0.01).MDSC were significantly higher in long-term group compared with short-term group and healthy control group (P ＜0.01).Conclusions Th17,Tregs,NK cells and MDSC were significantly higher in long-term survival of liver recipients,which may be related to immune tolerance.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of camrelizumab salvage therapy for extrahepatic recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma with PD-L1 negativity in transplanted liver tissue.Methods:From May 2020 to December 2020, retrospective analysis was performed for 3 cases of camrelizumab salvage therapy for extrahepatic recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma recipients with PD-L1 negative in transplanted liver tissue.Three recipients with extrahepatic recurrence progressed after first/second-line targeted drug therapy.Camrelizumab was given as salvage therapy after normal tissue of ransplanted liver was confirmed as negative for PD-L1 by immunohistochemistry.The safety and efficacy of treatment were observed by monitoring the changes in the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and bilirubin, the occurrence of complications and the outcome of treatment before and after dosing.Results:During a follow-up period of 1.5 to 15.5 months, no recipients showed acute rejection symptoms such as sharp elevations of transaminase and bilirubin.Headache ( n=1), vomiting ( n=1) and fatigue & hypertension ( n=1) became relieved after treatment.As of February 28, 2022, there were one survivor and two deaths.The fatal causes were tumor progression ( n=1) and thoracic aortic rupture due to esophageal perforation ( n=1). The survival time of recipients was (11-15.5) months and the progression-free survival time (4-6) months. Conclusions:For extrahepatic recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma with PD-L1-negative liver transplantation in normal liver tissue, camrelizumab salvage therapy can control tumor progression to a certain extent and prolong the survival time of recipients.
