To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of anticoagulants in ischaemic stroke primary or secondary prevention and treatment, we searched The Cochrane Library and MEDLINE to find high quality evidence and summarized the available evidence. The results showed that routine immediate anticoagulant therapy in patients with acute ischaemic stroke should not be recommended because it increased the risk of hemorrhage with ineffective reduction to the risk of death or disability. For the high risk group with cardiogenic embolism, anticoagulant therapy could safely and effectively reduce the incidence of stroke or other vascular events. However, for non-cardiogenic embolism group, anticoagulant therapy was hard to balance the benefits and harms.
Objective To formulate an evidence-based treatment plan for a patient with ischemic stroke accompanied by hypertension and atrial fibrillation. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2006), SUMsearch (January 1980 to December 2006) and PubMed (January 1980 to December 2006) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses about the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant therapy for ischemic stroke coupled with atrial fibrillation, and blood pressure lowering therapy for ischemic stroke coupled with hypertension. We evaluated the validity, reliability and feasibility of each study to identify the current best evidence. Results Four guidelines, 3 SRs and 6 RCTs were included. The evidence showed that low-intensity anticoagulant therapy was safe and effective for this patient, and that rapid blood pressure lowering therapy was not suitable for acute ischemic stroke. According to the current evidence, as well as the patient’s clinical condition and preference, low-intensity warfarin was given with a target INR (international normalized ratio) of 2.0. During convalescence, he was given oral fosinopril and indapamide. His symptoms were relieved after two weeks of treatment, and follow-up at one month indicated that this plan was suitable for the patient. Conclusions Anticoagulant therapy is still preferred for acute ischemic stroke accompanied by hypertension and atrial fibrillation. The current evidence suggests that warfarin is superior to other anticoagulants. The target INR should be adjusted individually, especially in old patients. The maintenance of a low INR level, if necessary, could maximise utility and minimise the risk of hemorrhage. Aspirin is recommended when anticoagulants cannot be tolerated. Intensive blood pressure lowering therapy is not reasonable for patients with acute ischemic stroke. Antihypertensive drugs like ACEI and low-dose diuretics may be chosen during convalescence.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant agents, such as aspirin and heparin, in women with a history of at least two spontaneous miscarriages or one later intrauterine fetal death without apparent causes other than inherited thrombophilias. Methods We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register (March 2004), the Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library, Issue 1, 2004), MEDLINE (January 1966 to March 2004), and EMBASE (1980 to March 2004). We scanned bibliographies of all located articles for any unidentified articles. Randomised and quasi-randomised controlled trials that assessed the effect of anticoagulant treatment on the live-birth rate in women with a history of at least two spontaneous miscarriages or one later intrauterine fetal death without apparent causes other than inherited thrombophilias were eligible. Interventions included aspirin, unfractionated heparin, and low molecular weight heparin for the prevention of birth loss. One treatment could be compared with another or with placebo. Two authors assessed the trials for inclusion in the review and extracted the data. Data were entered into the Review Manager software and double checked. Results Two studies (242 participants) were included in the review and for both of them data were extracted for the subgroups of women fulfiling the inclusion criteria of the review. In one study, 54 pregnant women with recurrent spontaneous abortion without detectable anticardiolipin antibodies were randomised to low-dose aspirin or placebo. Similar live-birth rates were observed with aspirin and placebo [relative risk (RR) 1.00, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78 to 1.29]. In another study, a subgroup of 20 women who had had a previous fetal loss after the 20th week and had a thrombophilic defect were randomised to enoxaparin or aspirin. Enoxaparin treatment resulted in an increased live-birth rate, as compared to low-dose aspirin, RR 10.00, 95% CI 1.56 to 64.20). Conclusions The evidence on the efficacy and safety of thromboprophylaxis with aspirin and heparin in women with a history of at least two spontaneous miscarriages or one later intrauterine fetal death without apparent causes other than inherited thrombophilias is too limited to recommend the use of anticoagulants in this setting. Large, randomised, placebo-controlled trials are urgently needed.

Methods GDX-102 packed column was used as separation column with an oven temperature of 160 ℃, an injector temperature of 190 ℃ and a flame ionization detector temperature of 190 ℃. Normal propanol solution at 1 mg/mL was adopted to dilute the samples with a volume 50 times of the propanol solution. After being centrifuged, 1ul of the supernatant liquid was injected for analysis. Results The recovery rate of the method was between 91.2% and 105.7%. The deviation of the method with GA/T105-1995 recommendation method was less than 7.1%. The concentration of blood ethanol preserved in the non-anticoagulant tubes was a little higher than that preserved in the anticoagulant tubes. Conclusions The method can be used for the determination of ethanol content in blood. Compared with GA/T105-1995 recommendation method, the sample treatment of this method is much simpler. And the blood tubes with different anticoagulants have influences on the ethanol contents. It is recommended that blood tubes with sodium citrate as anticoagulant can be used for blood sampling and preservers.
In the intensive care units of Japan, nafamostat mesilate (NM) is the most used anticoagulant of continuous blood purification, with the rate of up to 85%. Its biggest characteristic is not to reduce the life of the filter in the group of patients with high risk of bleeding, and it can be safely used. However, there are not a few reports about severe anaphylaxis, when the symptoms of anaphylaxis is recognized after the start of continuous renal replacement therapy, it should be kept in mind that it is NM hypersensitivity. In addition, for an expensive drug, it may be required to be limited in the cases of risk of bleeding complications. NM has been developed for nearly 30 years, so it has high reliability in Japan. However, in the same case, regional citrate anticoagulation is recommended internationally. It may need a randomized controlled trial with regional citrate anticoagulation to prove the real effectiveness of NM.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulants (Apixaban, Rivaroxaban, or Dabigatran) after joint replacement.MethodsCNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase and The Cochrane Library databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on new oral anticoagulants after joint replacement from inception to October, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, and then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 13 RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared to Enoxaparin, the new oral anticoagulant significantly reduced the incidence of asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (RR=0.60, 95%CI 0.46 to 0.78, P<0.000 1) and symptomatic DVT (RR=0.40, 95%CI 0.28 to 0.58, P<0.000 1), while the incidence of symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) during treatment (RR=0.91, 95%CI 0.59 to 1.39, P=0.65) and mortality (RR=1.00, 95%CI 0.40 to 1.76, P=0.99) were not reduced. Major bleeding (RR=1.05, 95%CI 0.81 to 1.35, P=0.72) and clinically relevant non-major bleeding events (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.73 to 1.33, P=0.94) with new oral anticoagulants were not statistically different from Enoxaparin.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that new oral anticoagulants can effectively reduce the incidence of DVT in patients after joint replacement without increasing the risk of adverse events such as bleeding. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
