Risk Factors of Clopidogrel Resistance in the Elderly Patients with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease / 中国医学科学院学报

Objective To explore the risk factors of clopidogrel resistance (CR) in the elderly patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and to provide evidence for the antiplatelet therapy. Methods A total of 223 elderly patients (≥80 years old) with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease treated in the Department of Geriatrics in the Peking University People's Hospital from January 18,2013 to November 30,2019 and meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study.The clinical data and laboratory test results were collected,including clinical disease,drug use,physical examination,complete blood cell analysis,biochemical indicators,and thromboelastogram (TEG).The rate of platelet inhibition induced by adenosine diphosphate was calculated according to the TEG.We assigned the patients into a CR group (n=84) and a control group (n=139) to analyze the incidence and influence factors of CR in the elderly patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Results The incidence of CR was 37.7% in the elderly patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.The CR group had lower hemoglobin (t=3.533,P=0.001) and higher hypertension prevalence rate (χ2=6.581,P=0.006),proportion of multiple drugs (χ2=3.332,P=0.048),body mass index (BMI) (t=-2.181,P=0.030),total cholesterol (t=-2.264,P=0.025),triglycerides (Z=-2.937,P=0.003),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (t=-2.347,P=0.020),and proportion of women (χ2=5.562,P=0.014) than the control group.The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that hemoglobin (OR=0.962,P<0.001),BMI (OR=1.154,P=0.003),and LDL-C (OR=1.688,P=0.018) were the factors influencing CR in the elderly patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Conclusion Hemoglobin,BMI,and LDL-C may be independent factors associated with the occurrence of CR in the elderly patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) system for analysis of vitamin D3 soft capsules with soybean oil matrix / 复旦学报（医学版）

Objective To develop a method for the determination and impurity analysis of vitamin D3 soft capsules with soybean oil matrix in reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) system.Methods RP-HPLC system had Agilent Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm,5 ttm) with detection wavelength of 265 nm,column temperature of 25 ℃ and flow rate of 1 mL/min.Retention behaviors of vitamin D3 and its 3 isomers were studied by altering the mobile phase.Firstly,acetonitrile was mixed with different proportions of methanol,water and ethanol as the mobile phase to investigate the effects of these 4 mobile phase components on the retention behavior of vitamin D3 and its 3 main related substances (isomers) on a C18 column.Then,a suitable mobile phase was selected for content determination and impurity analysis according to the retention behavior study.Results The recovery was only 80.55％-84.37％ with 100％ acetonitrile as the mobile phase.The addition of ethanol in acetonitrile was found to make remarkably significant improvement.Recovery rate was achieved between 98.07 ％ and 103.23 ％ with V (acetonitrile) ∶V (ethanol) =90∶10 as the mobile phase,while improving pealk shape.The method showed good linearity [(0.52-5.2) x 10-4 t mol/L,R2＞0.999] and fine density (RSD＜2.32％) which can be used for determination.For impurities profile,it could be achieved using V (acetonitrile):V (water) =95:5 as the mobile phase which can obviate interference from soybean oil matrix.Conclusions The method established in this experiment can easily and accurately determine the content and impurity analysis of vitamin D3 soft capsules with soybean oil matrix in a RP-HPLC system.
