ABSTRACT

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor is administered following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with coronary stent implantation. Several studies have reported the effects of switching between P2Y12 inhibitors on platelet reactivity (P2Y12 reaction units: PRU), from acute to late phase after PCI. However, the effect of switching at very late phase is unknown. This study examined the effect on PRU in Japanese coronary heart disease patients with long-term DAPT (aspirin + clopidogrel) when switching from clopidogrel to prasugrel. Ninety-six patients were enrolled in this study. The median DAPT duration at enrollment was 1824.0 days. Twenty-three patients with PRU ≥ 208 at enrollment were randomly assigned into either continuing to receive clopidogrel (Continued Group; n = 11) or switching to prasugrel (Switched Group; n = 12). The primary endpoint was the rate of patients who achieved PRU < 208 at the end of 12 weeks of treatment, which was significantly higher in Switched Group relative to Continued Group (90.0% vs. 36.4%; P = 0.024). The secondary endpoint was the PRU at week 12 in groups subdivided according to cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotypes. At week 12, extensive metabolizers (EM Group) had 202.3 ± 60.0 and 174.5 ± 22.3 in Continued Group and Switched Group (P = 0.591), respectively; intermediate and poor metabolizers (non-EM Group) had 229.4 ± 36.9 and 148.4 ± 48.4 in Continued Group and Switched Group (P = 0.002), respectively. The PRU for non-EM Group was significantly reduced in Switched Group. Thus, for patients with long-term DAPT (aspirin + clopidogrel) after PCI with coronary stent implantation, switching from clopidogrel to prasugrel resulted in a stable reduction in PRU, regardless of CYP2C19 polymorphism.

ABSTRACT

Patients with ischemic heart disease are administered a dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention. This consists of aspirin and thienopyridine, which can be switched from prasugrel to clopidogrel. However, the impact of switching is unknown. This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of switching from prasugrel to clopidogrel in Japanese patients. One-hundred and thirty-six patients with acute coronary syndrome scheduled to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention and patients with coronary artery disease requiring elective coronary stenting were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned into the following groups: prasugrel for 6 weeks at loading/maintenance doses of 20/3.75 mg (Continued Group; n = 68) or prasugrel at 20/3.75 mg for 2 weeks followed by clopidogrel at 75 mg for 4 weeks (Switched Group; n = 68). Aspirin (loading dose/maintenance dose 324/81-100 mg/day) was coadministered in both groups. The primary endpoint was the mean P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) at week 6 and the secondary endpoint was the PRU in groups subdivided based on the presence of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms. At week 6, the PRU was significantly lower in the Continued Group relative to the Switched Group (140.7 and 183.0, respectively; P < 0.001), which was also evident after correction with the baseline values (144.1 vs. 176.6, respectively; P = 0.005). Extensive and poor metabolizers in the Switched Group, based on CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms, had significantly higher PRU values than those in the Continued Group. Thus, switching treatments from prasugrel to clopidogrel significantly increased the PRU in patients receiving antiplatelet therapy subsequent to percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT

Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia with primary aldosteronism is very rare and shows similar endocrine features to aldosterone-producing adenoma and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. In this study, the mRNA expression of steroidogenic enzymes in unilateral adrenal hyperplasia was examined by in situ hybridization. We found subcapsular micronodules composed of spironolactone body-containing cells, which showed intense expression for 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 11beta-hydroxylase, 18-hydroxylase, and 21-hydroxylase but not 17alpha-hydroxylase, indicating aldosterone production. This expression pattern was the same as that in unilateral multiple adrenocortical micronodules, reported recently. Additionally, it was noted that a nodule with active aldosterone production was closely adjacent to one showing intense 17alpha-hydroxylase expression. In the adrenal cortices adhering to aldosterone-producing adenoma, the majority of hyperplastic zona glomerulosa and hyperplastic nodules demonstrated a decreased steroidogenic activity. However, minute nodules indicative of active aldosterone production were found at high frequency. These results suggest that the subcapsular micronodules observed might be the root of aldosterone-producing adenoma. Furthermore, we emphasize the need for long-term follow-up after unilateral adrenalectomy or enucleation of the adenoma because of the possibility that buds with autonomous aldosterone production may still be present in the contralateral or remaining adrenal tissue.
