Mothods Patients with acute cerebral infarction within 12 hours of stroke onset were randomly assigned to receive either an initial intravenous infusion of defibrase 15 U plus normal saline 250 mL or 250 mL of normal saline only. Subsequent infusions of defibrase 5 U or placebo (normal saline) were given on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th day, respectively. Both groups received standard care of acute cerebral infarction. The primary efficacy outcome was functional status (Barthel Index) at 3 months after treatment. Safety outcome were bleeding events and mortality rate. Secondary outcome included Chinese Stroke Scale (CSS) score at 14 days and recurrence rate of stroke at 1 year. A total of 1053 patients were enrolled at 46 centers from September 2001 to July 2003, and 527 patients were randomly assigned to receive defibrase and 526 to receive placebo. A similar proportion of patients in both groups completed a full course of treatment. There was a significantly greater proportion of favorable functional status (Barthel Index 1≥95) in defibrase group than in placebo group at 3 months (52.2% vs. 42.8%, P 〈 0.01), and the proportion of dependent functional status (Barthel Index ≤60) was a little lower in defibrase group compared with placebo group (27.7% vs. 32.4%). These differences were more obvious among patients who were treated within 6 hours of stroke onset. Patients in defibrase group had better improvement with respect to CSS score than those in placebo group at 14 days (P 〈 0.05). Recurrence rate of stroke at 1 year was lower in the defibrase group compared with placebo group (6.2% vs. 10.1%, P = 0.053). Patients in defibrase group had higher risk of extracranial bleeding events (4.7% vs. 1.5%, P 〈 0.01 ) and a tendency of higher risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. The hemorrhage incidence was higher in patients with fibrinogen level 〈 130 mg/dL than ≥ 130 mg/dL (10.6% vs. 3.8%, P 〈 0.05). Mortality rate at 3 months were slightly higher in defibrase group than placebo group (5.9% vs. 4.2%). Conclusions The defibrase is effective to improve neurological function and function of daily living for patients with acute cerebral infarction within 12 hours of symptom onset. The efficacy was even better for acute cerebral infarction within 6 hours of onset. The increased risks of intra- and extracranial hemorrhage during defibrase administration were related to the plasma fibrinogen level.展开更多

Methods and results It was a pro- spective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. Between April 2012 and July 2015, 399 acute STEMI patients with single vessel disease and intermediate （40%-70%） stenosis of the culprit lesion before or after aspiration thrombectomy and/or intracoronary tirofiban （15 pg/kg） were enrolled and were randomly assigned （h 1） to stenting group （n = 201） and non-stenting group （n = 198）. In stenting group, patients received pharmacologic therapy plus standard percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） with stent implantation. In non-stenting group, pa- tients received pharmacologic therapy and PCI （thrombectomy）, but without dilatation or stenting. Primary endpoint was 12-month rate of major adverse cardiac and eerebrovascular events （MACCE）, a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction （M1）, repeat re- vascularization and stroke. Secondary endpoints were 12-month rates of all cause death, ischemia driven admission and bleeding complica- tion. Median follow-up time was 12.4 ~ 3.1 months. At 12 months, MACCE occurred in 8.0% of the patients in stenting group, as compared with 15.2% in the non-stenting group （adjusted HR： 0.42, 95% Ch 0.19-0.89, P = 0.02）. The stenting group had lower non-fatal MI rate than non-stenting group, （1.5% vs. 5.5%, P = 0.03）. The two groups shared similar cardiac death, repeat revascularization, stroke, all cause death, ischemia driven readmission and bleeding rates at 12 months. Conclusions Stent implantation had better efficacy and safety in reducing MACCE risks among acute STEMI patients with single vessel intermediate stenosis culprit lesions.展开更多
