Factors Influencing Aspirin Hyporesponsiveness in Elderly Chinese Patients.

BACKGROUND Aspirin hyporesponsiveness increases the risk of ischemic events. Therefore, it is important to investigate the factors influencing aspirin hyporesponsiveness. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients aged 60 years or older who did not take aspirin before enrollment were included, with aspirin 100 mg/day administered after enrollment.

Synthesis, characterization and luminescence of europium perchlorate with MABA-Si complex and coating structure SiO @Eu(MABA-Si) luminescence nanoparticles.

This article reports a novel category of coating structure SiO @Eu(MABA-Si) luminescence nanoparticles (NPs) consisting of a unique organic shell, composed of perchlorate europium(III) complex, and an inorganic core, composed of silica. The binary complex Eu(MABA-Si) ·(ClO ) ·5H O was synthesized using HOOCC H N(CONH(CH ) Si(OCH CH ) ) (MABA-Si) and was used as a ligand. Furthermore, the as-prepared silica NPs were successfully coated with the -Si(OCH CH ) group of MABA-Si to form Si-O-Si chemical bonds by means of the hydrolyzation of MABA-Si.

[Postprandial changes of blood lipid after ordinary Chinese diet and the influencing factors thereof].

Objective: To investigate the postprandial changes of blood lipid after ordinary Chinese diet and the influencing factors thereof.

Methods: Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from 88 patients, 72 males and 16 females, aged (65 +/- 12), 53 with hypertension, 35 with coronary heart diseases, and 27 with diabetes, while fasting and 4 h after breakfast and lunch to measure the levels of lipoproteins, including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein A (ApoA), ApoB, lipoprotein (Lp) (a), oxidized LDL (ox-LDL). Homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated.
