RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the influence of aspirin and/or clopidogrel treatment on platelet aggregation rate in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients,and discuss the factors related to anti-platelet drug resistance.Methods A total of 160 patients with CHD and received aspirin and/or clopidogrel treatment were enrolled in the Second Xiangya Hospital,Central South University,and were divided into stable coronary heart disease (SCHD) group (n =90) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group (n =70).Meanwhile,non-coronary heart disease (NCHD) patients who did not receive anti-platelet drug treatment were enrolled as controls (n =50).Clinical data of the subjects were recorded.The maximum platelet aggregation rate induced by arachidonic acid (MAR-AA) and adenosine diphosphate (MAR-ADP) were evaluated with sequential platelet counting method.The factors related to drug resistance were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis.Results Compared to NCHD group,there were lower MAR-AA and MAR-ADP in two groups of CHD (all P ＜ 0.05).In ACS patients,MAR-AA and MAR-ADP are significantly lower (P ＜0.05) in patients who receive the aspirin and clopidogrel.The rate of anti-platelet drug resistance in ACS group was significantly higher than that in SCHD group (20.0％ vs 10.0％,P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low HDL-C (＜ 1.0 mmol/L) was an independent risk factor related to the anti-platelet drug resistance (OR =4.36,95 ％ CI:1.36-14.02,P =0.025).Conclusions The antiplatelet treatment with aspirin and/or clopidogrel can significantly reduce the platelet reactivity in CHD patients,but some patients still present anti-platelet drug resistance.The combination of aspirin and clopidogrel is better.The rate of drug resistance in ACS patients is high.Low HDL-C might be associated with anti-platelet drug resistance.

RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the prevalence of aspirin resistance in old-aged patients with cerebral infarction and to analyze the mechanisms and clinical predictors of aspirin resistance. Methods 300 old-aged patients with cerebra] infarction were selected and the platelet aggregation ratio was determined by nephelometry with CHRONO-LOG PA-meter. And some information of these patients, such as age, sex, smoking, taking non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAD)or proton pump inhibitor (PPI), obesity, coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral vascular disease, hyperpiesia, diabetes and hyperlipemia were recorded. Results 112 cases (37.33%) were aspirin sensitiveness, 108 cases(36.0%) were aspirin semi-resistance and 80 cases (26.67%) were aspirin resistance. These cases were divided into two groups. One was aspirin sensitive (AS) group, which included 112 patients of aspirin sensitiveness. The other was aspirin resistant (AR) group, which consisted of 188 patients of aspirin semi-resistance and aspirin resistance. The prevalence of CAD, hypercho]esteremia and RBC count in AR group was higher than that in AS group The percentage of patients who took NSAD, PPI and smoke in AR group was also higher than that in AS group. Conclusion Aspirin resistance existed in old-aged patients with cerebral infarction to great extent, and which was correlated with CAD, hypercholesteremia, smoking, RBC count, taking NSAD and PPI.
