避免药害事件发生英语作文Title: Preventing Medication-Related Incidents。
In today's healthcare landscape, medication-related incidents have become a significant concern. Theseincidents encompass a wide range of errors, from prescribing and dispensing mistakes to administrationerrors and adverse drug reactions. Such mishaps can lead to patient harm, prolongation of hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. Thus, it's crucial to implementstrategies to prevent medication-related incidents and ensure patient safety. This essay explores various approaches to mitigate these incidents.Firstly, enhancing healthcare professionals' education and training is paramount. Clinicians must receive comprehensive education on pharmacology, including medication indications, contraindications, interactions, and adverse effects. Continuous training programs should be implemented to update healthcare providers on newmedications and evidence-based practices. Additionally, interprofessional education can foster collaboration among healthcare team members, reducing communication errors and enhancing patient care coordination.Secondly, improving medication management systems can significantly reduce the risk of errors. Healthcare facilities should invest in electronic prescribing systems with built-in clinical decision support tools. These systems can alert prescribers to potential drug interactions, allergies, and dosage errors, thus preventing medication errors at the point of prescribing. Moreover, barcoding technology and automated dispensing cabinets can enhance medication accuracy during the dispensing and administration processes.Furthermore, promoting patient engagement and medication literacy is crucial in preventing medication-related incidents. Patients should be empowered to actively participate in their medication management process. Healthcare providers should educate patients about their medications, including proper administration techniques,potential side effects, and the importance of adherence. Clear and accessible medication labels and instructions can also help patients understand their treatment regimen and avoid errors.Moreover, fostering a culture of safety within healthcare organizations is essential. Healthcare leaders should prioritize patient safety initiatives and establish systems for reporting and analyzing medication errors. By encouraging open communication and non-punitive reporting of errors, healthcare organizations can identify system weaknesses and implement corrective actions to prevent future incidents. Additionally, recognizing and celebrating successes in medication safety initiatives can reinforce a culture of continuous improvement.In addition to these proactive measures, regulatory agencies play a vital role in safeguarding medication safety. Government agencies should enforce stringent regulations for medication approval, manufacturing, and distribution. Regular inspections of pharmaceutical facilities can ensure compliance with quality standards andGood Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Pharmacovigilance programs should be established to monitor the safety of medications post-market and promptly identify and address adverse drug reactions.Furthermore, promoting research and innovation in medication safety is essential. Investment in technologies such as artificial intelligence and predictive analytics can help identify patients at higher risk of medication-related incidents. Additionally, research studies on human factors and ergonomics can inform the design of healthcare systems and processes to reduce the likelihood of errors.In conclusion, preventing medication-related incidents requires a multifaceted approach involving education, technology, patient engagement, organizational culture, regulation, and research. By implementing these strategies collaboratively, healthcare stakeholders can minimize the occurrence of medication errors and enhance patient safety. Ultimately, prioritizing medication safety is essential for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.。

Theprimary end point was a fatal coronary event or anonfatal myocardial infarction.Results The frequency of the primary end pointwas 10.2 percent in the pravastatin group and 13.2percent in the placebo group, an absolute differenceof 3 percentage points and a 24 percent reduction inrisk (95 percent confidence interval, 9 to 36 percent;Pϭ0.003). Coronary bypass surgery was needed in7.5 percent of the patients in the pravastatin groupand 10 percent of those in the placebo group, a 26percent reduction (Pϭ0.005), and coronary angio-plasty was needed in 8.3 percent of the pravastatingroup and 10.5 percent of the placebo group, a 23percent reduction (Pϭ0.01). The frequency of strokewas reduced by 31 percent (Pϭ0.03). There were no significant differences in overall mortality or mortal-ity from noncardiovascular causes. Pravastatin low-ered the rate of coronary events more among wom-en than among men. The reduction in coronary events was also greater in patients with higher pretreat-ment levels of LDL cholesterol.Conclusions These results demonstrate that the benefit of cholesterol-lowering therapy extends to the majority of patients with coronary disease who have average cholesterol levels.

Morton Hawkins, D.Sc., Univer-sity of T exas School of Public Health, Houston.*Participants in the Cholesterol and Recurrent Events trial are listed in the Appendix.HE plasma levels of total cholesterol andlow-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterolare important risk factors for coronary heartdisease.1-4However, the relation between plasma cholesterol and coronary events appears to be stronger if levels are at elevated, rather than average, values.1-4Angiography in clinical trials has demon-strated that lowering cholesterol levels slows the pro-gression and promotes the regression of coronary ath-erosclerosis.5 These beneficial changes are also directly related to the pretreatment level of LDL cholester-ol,5,6 with little benefit occurring in patients with av-erage base-line levels.7 Clinical trials have shown that lowering elevated LDL cholesterol levels prevents both first and recurrent coronary events.8-11 However, it has not been clear whether coronary events can be prevented by cholesterol-lowering therapy in patients who do not have hypercholesterolemia. This issue is of importance because the large majority of patients with coronary disease have cholesterol levels that are, like those of the general population,12 in the average, not the elevated, range.13-16The Cholesterol and Recurrent Events (CARE) Ttrial and its entry criteria (a plasma total cholesterol level of less than 240 mg per deciliter [6.2 mmol per liter] and an LDL cholesterol level of 115 to 174 mg per deciliter [3.0 to 4.5 mmol per liter]) were de-signed specifically to study the effectiveness in a typ-ical population of lowering LDL cholesterol levels to prevent coronary events after myocardial infarction.METHODSStudy Design and PatientsThe design of the CARE trial has been described in detail else-where. 17 Patients were recruited from 80 participating centers, 13in Canada and 67 in the United States. Men and postmenopausal women were eligible if they had had an acute myocardial infarction between 3 and 20 months before randomization, were 21 to 75years of age, and had plasma total cholesterol levels of less than 240mg per deciliter, LDL cholesterol levels of 115 to 174 mg per dec-iliter, fasting triglyceride levels of less than 350 mg per deciliter (4.0mmol per liter), fasting glucose levels of no more than 220 mg per deciliter (12.2 mmol per liter), left ventricular ejection fractions of no less than 25 percent, and no symptomatic congestive heart fail-ure. Criteria for a qualifying myocardial infarction included typical symptoms and an elevated serum level of creatine kinase. 17 The lip-id levels, as measured at two or three specified visits to the clinic at least eight weeks after hospitalization for myocardial infarction and after four weeks of treatment with the National Cholesterol Edu-cation Program (NCEP) Step 1 diet, 18 were averaged for eligibility.After stratification according to clinical center, we randomly as-signed the eligible patients to receive either 40 mg of pravastatin (Pravachol, Bristol-Myers Squibb) once daily, or a matching place-bo, by means of a telephone call to the data center. After random-ization, visits to the clinic took place quarterly. Patients continued to take all prescribed medication, for cardiac and other conditions,that they had been receiving at base line (Table 1).Plasma total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cho-lesterol, and triglyceride levels were measured by the core labora-tory at base line, at 6 and 12 weeks after randomization, at the end of each quarter during the first year, and semiannually there-after. LDL cholesterol levels were calculated. 19 For any patient in either group with an LDL cholesterol level of 175 mg per deci-liter (4.5 mmol per liter) or more, intensified (NCEP Step 2) di-etary counseling was initiated. 18 If the LDL level remained at 175mg per deciliter or more, cholestyramine was prescribed, in a daily dose of 8 to 16 g, as needed, to decrease the level to less than 175 mg per deciliter. T o maintain blinded conditions, a pa-tient in the other treatment group who was matched for age and sex and had an LDL cholesterol level in the highest decile was provided with parallel dietary counseling and cholestyramine treatment. If counseling and treatment were unsuccessful, the pa-tient with a persistently elevated LDL cholesterol level was re-ferred to his or her physician for treatment. The primary end point of the trial was death from coronary heart disease (includ-ing fatal myocardial infarction, either definite or probable; sud-den death; death during a coronary intervention; and death from other coronary causes) or a symptomatic (unless during noncar-diac surgery) nonfatal myocardial infarction confirmed by serum creatine kinase measurements. In each group, we measured the time elapsed to the primary end point. Deaths were reviewed by the end-points committee without knowledge of the patient’s treatment assignment or plasma lipid levels.The protocol was approved by the Safety and Data Monitoring Committee and the institutional review boards of all participating centers.Statistical AnalysisThe size of the sample was designed to provide an 80 percent power to detect a 20 percent reduction in the number of primary*Plus–minus values are means Ϯ SD.

All analyses were performed on an inten-tion-to-treat basis, and P values were two-sided. The effect of therapy on the rate of the primary end point of the trial was as-sessed with use of log-rank P values. 20 All other hypothesis tests and all reductions in risk were assessed with a Cox proportional-hazards model. 21 The size of the trial did not provide adequate power to assess therapeutic efficacy against the primary end point within subgroups. Therefore, treatment effects were analyzed in several prespecified subgroups with a more broadly defined end point: major coronary events (including fatal coronary heart dis-ease, nonfatal myocardial infarction, bypass surgery, and angio-plasty).RESULTSBetween December 4, 1989, and December 31,1991, 4159 patients were randomly assigned to study groups, 2078 to the placebo group and 2081 to the pravastatin group. The characteristics of the patients before randomization were similar in the two groups (Table 1). In the last year of follow-up, 86 percent of the placebo group and 94 percent of the treat-ment group were taking their study medication.This included the 6 percent of patients in each treat-ment group who were taking cholestyramine ac-cording to the protocol. Of the patients, 8 percent in the placebo group and 2 percent in the treatment group discontinued the study medication and start-ed treatment to lower lipid levels with open-label drug therapy, as prescribed by their personal physi-cians. The final study visit was between January 1and February 14, 1996, at which time the median duration of follow-up was 5.0 years (range, 4.0 to 6.2). Data were obtained to classify myocardial in-farctions as confirmed or unconfirmed for all pa-tients in whom a myocardial infarction was report-ed. Vital status was ascertained for the first four years for all patients and, at the end, for all but one patient.Pravastatin therapy lowered the mean LDL cho-lesterol level of 139 mg per deciliter (3.6 mmol per liter) by 32 percent and maintained mean levels of 97 to 98 mg per deciliter (2.5 mmol per liter)throughout the five-year follow-up. During follow-up, the LDL cholesterol level was 28 percent lower in the pravastatin group than in the placebo group,the total cholesterol level was 20 percent lower, the HDL cholesterol level was 5 percent higher, and the triglyceride level was 14 percent lower (P Ͻ 0.001 for all comparisons).Patients treated with pravastatin had a 24 percent lower incidence of the primary end point, fatal cor-onary heart disease or confirmed myocardial infarc-tion, than patients in the placebo group (95 percent confidence interval, 9 to 36 percent; P ϭ 0.003) (Ta-ble 2 and Fig. 1). Two hundred seventy-four pa-tients (13.2 percent) had a primary event in the pla-cebo group, as compared with 212 (10.2 percent) in the pravastatin group. One hundred seventy-three*Risk reductions and P values were based on Cox proportional-hazards analysis; P values are iden-tical to those derived by log-rank analysis.

These re-sults demonstrate that for patients with coronary disease in North America, the average cholesterol level is too high and can contribute to the recur-rence of cardiovascular events.These results also suggest that the pretreatment LDL cholesterol level, at least within the CARE tri-al’s eligibility range of 115 to 174 mg per deciliter, has an influence on the success of cholesterol-lower-ing therapy in preventing coronary events. In the upper part of the range, Ͼ150 to 175 mg per deci-liter, the reduction in risk (35 percent) was similar to that achieved with reductase inhibitors in patients with hypercholesterolemia.8-10 In the middle of the range, 125 to 150 mg per deciliter, the risk reduc-tion remained substantial (26 percent); this range is at the center of the distribution of LDL cholesterol values in contemporary populations with coronary heart disease.13-16However, there was no reduction in coronary events among patients with base-line LDL cholesterol levels below 125 mg per deciliter. These results are consistent with those of epidemio-logic studies that show a stronger relation between LDL cholesterol levels and coronary events at hyper-cholesterolemic, as compared with average, levels,1-4 as well as those of angiographic studies that show that improvement in coronary-artery stenosis in pa-tients receiving lipid-lowering therapy is proportion-al to the base-line LDL cholesterol level.5-7 Although our finding cannot be considered definitive and re-quires confirmation, it suggests that an LDL choles-terol level of 125 mg per deciliter may be an approx-imate lower boundary for a clinically important influence of the LDL cholesterol level on coronary heart disease.Stroke, a specified end point in the CARE trial,17 was reduced significantly (by 31 percent) in the pra-vastatin group. A reduction in cerebrovascular end points was found in post hoc analyses of data from several previous trials conducted in hypercholester-olemic populations.8,10,22,23A meta-analysis of trials of pravastatin in patients with atherosclerosis showed a significant, 62 percent reduction in stroke.10 Die-tary therapy that replaced saturated fat with polyun-saturated fat reduced the incidence of stroke by 45 percent (Pϭ0.055).22The incidence of stroke and transient ischemic attacks considered together was lowered significantly (by 24 percent) by nicotinic acid23and lowered by 30 percent by simvastatin.8 Ultrasound measurements of carotid atherosclerosis demonstrated slowing of the progression of disease by treatment with pravastatin24,25and lovastatin.26 This evidence from clinical trials therefore suggests that high plasma LDL cholesterol levels are a treat-able cause of cerebrovascular atherosclerosis and clin-ical cerebrovascular events. The potential for benefit from cholesterol-lowering treatment should contin-ue to be evaluated in patients with coronary disease, as well as in other groups of patients at high risk for stroke, such as those with a history of stroke, tran-sient ischemic attack, carotid-artery bruit, or hyper-tension.The overall incidence of fatal or nonfatal cancer was not increased in the pravastatin group as com-pared with the placebo group. The incidence of gas-trointestinal, liver, and lymphatic cancers was also not increased, thus providing no confirmation in humans of findings from testing in animals.27The increased incidence of breast cancer in patients given pravastatin was surprising; it has not been reported in previous or ongoing trials with pravastatin or oth-er related drugs, and testing in animals has not iden-tified breast cancer as one that is increased by such therapy. There is also no known potential biologic basis, such as an increase in estrogen levels,28 to sug-gest a causal link. In evaluating this finding, it should be noted that although there was one case of breast cancer among the women given placebo, five cases would have been expected on the basis of the rate of breast cancer in the general population for women of similar race and age.29 Importantly, interim results of the Long-T erm Intervention with Pravastatin in Ischemic Disease (LIPID) trial,30 from four years of treatment of 1508 women, show no increase in breast cancer (Barter P, Safety and Data Monitoring Committee, LIPID study: personal communication). The totality of evidence suggests that these findings in the CARE trial could be an anomaly and may be best interpreted in the context of the trial’s very low event rates and statistical testing of many adverse events.The Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study was a study of secondary prevention in patients with hy-percholesterolemia and coronary disease in which the reduction in coronary events was 37 percent.8 In the 544 CARE patients who, on the basis of lipid levels and other characteristics, would have been el-igible for the Scandinavian study, the reduction in coronary events (as defined in that study) was 43 percent in the pravastatin group as compared with the placebo group (Pϭ0.048). Therefore, we con-clude that the difference in overall risk reduction in the two trials was caused mainly by the difference in the base-line LDL cholesterol levels of the two groups of subjects, although other characteristics, such as a greater use of aspirin by the CARE patients, may also have contributed. The results of the CARE trial should be considered representative of what can be achieved by lipid-lowering treatment, over and above other strategies currently employed in the modern, comprehensive treatment of patients with a history of myocardial infarction and average choles-terol levels.We calculated the overall clinical benefit that couldcular disease in relation to cholesterol level among men with and without preexisting cardiovascular disease.

Most patients with pancreatic cancer are unable to receive surgery due to the advanced stage. Although chemotherapy regimens based on gemcitabine and fluorouracil have prolonged the survival time of patients to some extent,some patients cannot tolerate chemotherapy and hence lose the opportunity for treatment. With the advent of the era of precision medicine, molecular-targeted therapy has exhibited an excellent therapeutic efficacy and has thus become one of the most important treatment techniques for tumors; however, due to the high heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer and its complicated tumor microenvironment, molecular-targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer has not achieved notable results. Therefore, it is imperative to seek new therapeutic targets and medications to overcome this issue. This article reviews the latest advances in the research on molecular-targeted therapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer based on common molecular targets and tumor immunity-related therapeutic targets, in order to provide new treatment strategies for patients with pancreatic cancer.Key words:Pancreatic Neoplasms; Molecular Targeted Therapy; ImmunotherapyResearch funding:Natural Science Foundation of Hunan Province of China (2020JJ8084)胰腺癌是一种起病隐匿、进展迅速、疗效及预后极差的恶性肿瘤,大多数患者确诊时已经属于晚期。

Ireland Ltd.All rights reserved.IntroductionInfusion of contrast media can lead to acute renal insufficiency[1].Contrast-induced nephropa-thy(CIN)after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)is known to increase morbidity and mortal-ity in patients with cardiovascular disease.Among the baseline characteristics before contrast media exposure,preexisting renal insufficiency,diabetic mellitus,congestive heart failure,advanced age, and high-contrast volume exposure are reported to be the risk factors related to CIN[1—3].Although the pathophysiological process of CIN is still contro-versial,a combination of renal circulation leading to medullary ischemic damage,oxygen free radicals inducing tubular cell alterations and parenchy-mal vasoconstriction are the main factors leading to CIN[4].Pre-procedural intravenous hydration, N-acetylcysteine,theophylline,and usage of lower-osmolar contrast media,as adjunctive treatments during angiographic procedures,are reported to reduce the incidence of CIN in patients with renal insufficiency[5,6].The3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors(statins)became widely used in patients with hypercholesterolemia,but statins also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, progression of nephropathy,and development of diabetes because of their pleiotropic effects including improvement in endothelial dysfunction, increased nitric oxide bioavailability,anti-oxidant effects,anti-inflammatory properties,and sta-bilization of atherosclerotic plaques above and beyond that of cholesterol lowering[7—10].In addi-tion,a recent report demonstrated that statins prevented CIN after PCI[11].Although statins are clinically expected as a new prophylactic treatment,there are few reports regarding the prevention of CIN.From recent publications, pravastatin(10mg/day),among several statins, reduced the rates of renal dysfunction in patients with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney dis-ease[12].The aims of the present study were to evaluate whether chronic pravastatin treatment, as a standard treatment of hypercholesterolemia,before contrast media exposure,could reduce the incidence of CIN in patients with renal insuffi-ciency,and to elucidate the factors related to CIN in patients receiving pre-procedural intravenous hydration.MethodsStudy patientsWe evaluated431consecutive patients(367men and64women,mean age70.4±8.9years)with renal insufficiency(defined as serum creatinine level≥1.1mg/dl)undergoing scheduled coronary angiography or PCI between April2002and October 2008at Kansai Medical University Hospital.The pre-procedure serum creatinine(baseline creatinine) was measured before the contrast media exposure and peak post-procedure serum creatinine(maxi-mum creatinine)was measured within48h after the exposure(immediately after,24h,48h).CIN was defined as an increase in the serum creati-nine values of≥0.5mg/dl or≥25%increase within 48h after the procedure in the absence of any other causes[13].Creatinine clearance was cal-culated by applying the Cockcroft—Gault formula; ([140−age]×kg of body weight/(mg dl)of serum creatinine×72)with female gender adjustment (creatinine clearance×0.85)[14].The maximum dose of contrast media that can be safely admin-istered was calculated according to the following formula:5ml/kg of body weight/(mg dl)of serum creatinine(maximum,300ml)[15].All patients were hydrated with1ml/(kg h)of half-isotonic saline solution before and12h after the contrast media exposure and were monitored to avoid vol-ume overload.The exclusion criteria were as follows:(1) baseline pre-procedure serum creatinine level <1.1mg/dl;(2)patients on chronic or tempo-rary dialysis;(3)acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina within48h;(4)emergency coro-nary angiography that could not comply with our hydration protocol;(5)congestive heart failure194S.Yoshida et al.with low ejection fraction(<35%);(6)receiv-ing other statin treatment.None of the patients received noradrenalin,dopamine,theophylline,or N-acetylcysteine in this study.Pravastatin was administered for the treatment of hypercholes-terolemia(serum cholesterol>200mg/dl)in194 patients(45.0%).Pravastatin was started more than at least28days before contrast media exposure. Pravastatin dose was10mg/day in192patients and20mg/day in2patients.We defined diabetes mellitus as receiving oral medication or insulin ther-apy.The patients were divided into CIN group and non-CIN group;clinical variables and pre-procedure medications were compared.Coronary angiography and PCIA non-ionic low-osmolality contrast media were used in all patients.The patients were given at least3000units of intravenous heparin and PCI was performed by conventional techniques after intra-venous administration of10,000units of heparin. The target lesion(>75%stenosis)was successfully dilated in all patients.The local ethical committee on human research approved the study proto-col and informed consent was obtained from all patients.Statistical analysisThe results are reported as the mean±standard deviation.Statistical analysis between the2groups was performed by the Student’s t test for contin-uous variables and chi-square analysis or Fischer exact test for discrete variables.All calculated p values are2-tailed.A p value<0.05was considered significant.Logistic regression analysis using four clinical variables(age,pre-procedure serum creati-nine,contrast volume,and pravastatin treatment) was performed to evaluate the important factors related to CIN.ResultsAmong431patients with scheduled coronary angiography or PCI,the lesion was in the left ante-rior descending coronary artery in264patients, left circumflex coronary artery in184patients,and right coronary artery in210patients.One hun-dredfifty-six patients had1-vessel disease and 66patients had3-vessel disease.The mean pre-procedure serum creatinine was1.43±0.34mg/dl (range: 1.1—3.3mg/dl).Three patients in the non-CIN group had major complications during coronary angiography or PCI.Coronary rupture occurred after ballooning in1patient,but was immediately managed by low-pressure balloon expansion.Cerebral infarction developed after coronary angiography in1patient and right hemi-plegia lasted during plete heart block occurred during PCI using rotabla-tor in1patient and temporary pacemaker was inserted.Comparisons of clinical characteristics between patients with and without pravastatinOne hundred ninety-four patients were taking pravastatin(pravastatin)and237patients did not have statins(no pravastatin).Comparisons of clinical characteristics between the2groups are shown in T able1.There were no significant differences between the2groups in lipid lev-els;hypercholesterolemia(pravastatin26.8%vs. no pravastatin24.9%,p=0.771),total choles-terol(183.1±37.5mg/dl vs.181.9±40.1mg/dl, p=0.762),triglycerides(156.5±88.4mg/dl vs. 141.6±67.2mg/dl,p=0.057)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(109.5±37.7mg/dl vs. 108.9±37.1mg/dl,p=0.868).There were no significant differences between the2groups in the incidence of diabetes mellitus(20.1%vs.26.2%,p=0.634),hemoglobin A1c(6.3±1.3%vs.6.4±2.1%,p=0.543).Pre-procedure serum creati-nine(pravastatin1.4±0.4mg/dl vs.no pravastatin 1.4±0.4mg/dl,p=0.179),creatinine clear-ance(41.4±16.8ml/min vs.39±17.1ml/min, p=0.157),administration of contrast volume (124.1±53.8ml vs.123.6±51.4ml,p=0.915) and incidence of patients exceeding maxi-mal allowable contrast dose(13.4%vs.14.3%, p=0.65)were identical between the2groups. Patients without pravastatin had a signifi-cantly higher incidence of CIN(4.1%vs.11.8%, p=0.003).Contrast-induced nephropathyCIN was observed in36patients(8.4%).Clinical characteristics and pre-procedure medications are shown in T able2.There were no significant dif-ferences in advanced age,sex,hemoglobin A1c, the incidence of diabetic mellitus,lipid disorder, hemoglobin,and body mass index between the 2groups.Higher pre-procedure serum creatinine (lower creatinine clearance)and larger contrast volume usage were observed in the CIN groupPrevention of contrast-induced nephropathy by pravastatin in patients with renal insufficiency195Table1Comparison of clinical characteristics in patients with or without pravastatin.Pravastatin treatment p-Value(+)n=194(−)n=237Age(years)69.9±8.870.9±8.90.233 Sex(male)179(92.3%)188(79.3%)0.447 Pre-procedure serum creatinine(mg/dl) 1.4±0.3 1.4±0.30.179 Creatinine clearance(ml/min)41.4±16.839±17.10.157 Diabetes mellitus(Hemoglobin A1c≥6.5%)39(20.1%)62(26.2%)0.634 Diabetes mellitus48(24.7%)73(30.8%)0.602 Hemoglobin A1c(%) 6.3±1.3 6.4±2.10.543 Hypercholesterolemia(>200mg/dl)52(26.8%)59(24.9%)0.771 T otal cholesterol(mg/dl)183.1±37.5181.9±40.10.762 Triglycerides(mg/dl)156.5±88.4141.6±67.20.057 Low density lipoprotein cholesterol(mg/dl)109.5±37.7108.9±37.10.868 Hemoglobin(g/dl)12.3±2.012.1±2.00.184 Body mass index(%)24.2±3.523.7±3.70.199 Contrast volume(ml)124.1±53.8123.6±51.40.915 Exceeding maximal contrast dose26(13.4%)34(14.3%)0.65 CIN8(4.1%)28(11.8%)0.003 Clinical presentationPrevious myocardial infarction110(56.7%)96(40.5%)<0.001 Angina pectoris47(24.2%)88(37.1%)0.004 AngiographicfindingsSingle vessel disease58(29.9%)100(42.2%)0.008 Three vessel disease29(14.9%)37(15.6%)0.849 Left anterior descending artery123(63.4%)141(60.8%)0.407 Arteriosclerosis obliterans6(3.1%)13(5.5%)0.249 Post-coronary bypass surgery12(6.2%)21(8.9%)0.299 PCI99(51.0%)106(44.7%)0.083 Left ventricular ejection fraction(%)53.9±13.253.9±15.00.993 CIN,contrast-induced nephropathy;PCI,percutaneous coronary intervention.compared to the non-CIN group.The incidence of exceeding the maximal allowable contrast dose was more frequently observed in patients with CIN. Among the pre-procedure medications,only pravas-tatin was more frequently given in the non-CIN group than in the CIN group and a significantly lower incidence of CIN was observed in patients with pravastatin compared to those without pravas-tatin(47.1%vs.22.2%,p=0.004)(T able2).There were no significant differences in clinical charac-teristics and angiographic procedures between the 2groups.Logistic regression analysisT o determine the important variables related to CIN,logistic regression analysis using four variables (age,pre-procedure serum creatinine,contrast vol-ume,and pravastatin treatment)revealed that the pre-procedure serum creatinine,contrast volume and pravastatin treatment were the independent variables related to CIN(T able3).DiscussionContrast media used in diagnostic and interven-tional angiographic procedures can cause acute iatrogenic renal insufficiency[1].Furthermore, deterioration of renal function within48h after contrast media exposure is implicated as a poor prognosis in patients with preexisting renal insuffi-ciency[16].The occurrence of CIN has significant short-and long-term implications for patients’outcome[2].The number of angiographies using contrast media is increasing in clinical practice and higher doses are administered to sicker and older patients.Therefore,it is important to deter-mine the factors related to CIN and to investigate the pre-procedural treatments to prevent CIN.The incidence of CIN in a general population has been calculated to be<2%,but the incidence of CIN has been calculated to be20—30%in high-risk patients: patients with chronic renal insufficiency,diabetes mellitus,congestive heart failure,and advanced age[1,13].In this study,we investigated patients with mild renal insufficiency and found that the196S.Yoshida et al.Table2Clinical characteristics and pre-procedure medication.CIN p-Value(−)n=395(+)n=36Age(years)70.9±8.972.9±7.60.078 Sex(male)339(85.8%)28(77.8%)0.341 Pre-procedure serum creatinine(mg/dl) 1.4±0.3 1.6±0.50.003 Creatinine clearance(ml/min)40.9±16.731.4±18.30.001 Diabetes mellitus(Hemoglobin A1c≥6.5%)89(22.5%)12(33.3%)0.164 Diabetes mellitus110(27.8%)11(30.6%)0.646 Hemoglobin A1c(%) 6.3±1.8 6.4±1.30.774 Hypercholesterolemia(>200mg/dl)104(26.3%)7(19.4%)0.412T otal cholesterol(mg/dl)182.9±39.1177.7±36.70.447 Triglycerides(mg/dl)147.4±78.3157.9±71.20.465 Low density lipoprotein cholesterol(mg/dl)108.7±37.2113.5±38.20.483 Hemoglobin(g/dl)12.3±2.011.6±2.30.093 Body mass index(%)23.9±3.3924.1±5.460.773 Contrast volume(ml)122.2±64.1141.8±64.00.034 Exceeding maximal contrast dose46(11.6%)14(38.9%)<0.001 Clinical presentationPrevious myocardial infarction185(46.8%)21(58.3%)0.223 Angina pectoris127(32.2%)8(22.2%)0.263 Three vessel disease60(15.2%)6(16.7%)0.814 Left anterior descending artery239(60.5%)25(69.4%)0.292 Left ventricular ejection fraction(%)54.3±13.649.5±17.40.193 Pre-procedure medicationsAngiotensin receptor blocker159(40.3%)11(30.6%)0.254 Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors157(39.7%)17(47.2%)0.382 Pravastatin186(47.1%)8(22.2%)0.004 Nicorandil166(42.0%)18(50%)0.354 Aspirin327(82.8%)30(83.3%)0.933 Loop diuretic121(30.6%)15(41.7%)0.178 CIN,contrast-induced nephropathy.incidence of CIN was8.4%.The incidence of CIN was lower compared to other studies because we exam-ined selected patients with stable hemodynamic condition and our patients received pre-procedural hydration with half-sonic solution to prevent CIN. Presentation of CINStatins not only reduce the serum cholesterol lev-els,but also protect renal function in patients with advanced renal insufficiency and coronary artery disease[12]by their pleiotropic effects including anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory[17,18],antithrombotic[19],and vascular effects[20]. Khanal et al.reported that administration of statins before PCI was associated with a lower incidence of CIN[11].Although theirfindings suggested that statin therapy reduced the risk of CIN,the results remain tentative because of the hetero-geneity of their patients with respect to inadequate hemodynamic states.Despite identical levels of pre-procedure serum creatinine and administra-tion of contrast volume,we found that patients with pravastatin had significantly lower incidence of CIN compared to those without pravastatin.We demonstrated pre-procedure chronic pravastatinTable3Factors related to CIN.Chi-square statistic p-Value Odds ratio95%CI Age(years) 2.0680.150 1.030.99—1.08 Pre-procedure Cr(mg/dl) 6.2940.009 2.78 1.30—5.94 Pravastatin 6.5490.0110.340.15—0.77 Contrast volume(ml) 4.4840.034 1.01 1.00—1.01 CIN,contrast-induced nephropathy;Cr,serum creatinine.Prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy by pravastatin in patients with renal insufficiency197treatment used as a standard chronic treatment of hypercholesterolemia was associated with the reduction of CIN.In this study,the patients receiv-ing pravastatin treatment were well controlled,and there were no significant differences between the pravastatin group and the placebo group in the serum lipid levels.Besides lipid lowering effects, ourfindings indicated that chronic pravastatin treatment of hypercholesterolemia was important in patients with cardiovascular disease.Although the preventive mechanism of CIN by pravastatin treatment remains unknown,it is mediated via the pleiotropic actions rather than lipid lowering effects.Pravastatin(10mg/day)was effective in reducing proteinuria mediated by inhibiting renal endothelin-1synthesis[21].Moreover pravastatin may be more beneficial for renal protection than other statins,because of its water-soluble struc-ture.Standard doses(10—20mg/day)of pravastatin without any adverse affect on organs(insulin secre-tion from the pancreaticcells,sugar uptake by fat cells or muscles)are reported to be effec-tive in preventing coronary artery disease[22—25]. Desirable the pleiotropic actions of water-soluble statins,pravastatin was beneficial for the preven-tion of CIN.Risk factors for CINAlthough diabetes mellitus is one of the risk fac-tors of CIN in patients with renal insufficiency[1], there were no significant differences in hemoglobin A1c level and history of diabetes mellitus between the CIN and non-CIN groups in this study.There is no definitive evidence that CIN correlates with the duration of diabetes or suboptimal glycemic control,but adequate glycemic control should be achieved before contrast media exposure in dia-betic patients because acute hyperglycemia can lead to direct renal damage[6,26].Also,there is no consensus regarding the role of advanced age as a risk factor of CIN[2,6].In this study,age was not a predictive factor for CIN by the multivariate anal-ysis.A high prevalence of CIN in elderly patients is multifactorial in origin and may be attributable to renal arteriosclerosis or panvasculopathy[6].Pre-procedure intravenous hydration and low contrast volume exposure reduce CIN in patients with renal insufficiency[2,7].According to these reports,we performed routine pre-procedural volume expansion and used contrast media at min-imum dosage in all patients.However,there was a significantly higher incidence of patients exceed-ing maximal contrast dose in the CIN group and contrast volume was found as an independent risk factor related to CIN by the multivariate analysis.Limitations of this studyThree limitations of this study should be addressed. First,there was no randomization of pravastatin treatment in this study.However,significant risk factors for CIN such as contrast volume and pre-procedure serum creatinine were not different and we excluded the potential effect of other unknown confounders as much as possible.Also,it was difficult to evaluate whether chronic pravastatin treatment could reduce the incidence of CIN by randomization because it was predicted that there are significant differences between the2groups in the serum lipid levels.Second,our observational study was limited to a small sample size to elucidate the effectiveness of pravastatin on development of CIN in patients with severe renal insufficiency. Third,the appropriate duration of pre-procedure treatment and dosages of pravastatin to prevent CIN could not be clarified.Nonetheless,we pro-vide evidence that chronic pravastatin treatment was an important prophylactic medication when associated with a low dose of contrast media and pre-procedural hydration for patients with renal insufficiency.ConclusionsPravastatin treatment before contrast media expo-sure was an important factor associated with the reduction in CIN after coronary angiography or PCI in patients with cardiovascular disease and renal insufficiency.References[1]Parfrey P,Griffiths S,Barrett B.Contrast material-inducedrenal failure in patients with diabetes mellitus,renal insuf-ficiency or both:a prospective controlled study.N Engl J Med1989;320:143—9.[2]Rihal CS,T extor SC,Grill DE,Berger PB,Ting HH,BestPJ,Singh M,Bell MR,Barsness GW,Mathew V,Garratt KN, Holmes Jr DR.Incidence and prognostic importance of acute renal failure after percutaneous coronary intervention.Cir-culation2002;105:2259—64.[3]Dangas G,Iakovou I,Nikolsky E,Aymong ED,Mintz GS,Kipshidze NN,Lansky AJ,Moussa I,Stone GW,Moses JW, Leon MB,Mehran R.Contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary interventions in relation to chronic kidney disease and hemodynamic variables.Am J Cardiol 2005;95:13—9.[4]Russo D,Minutolo R,Cianciaruso B,Memoli B,Conte G,DeNicola L.Early effects of contrast media on renal hemody-namics and tubular function in chronic renal failure.J Am Soc Nephrol1995;6:1451—8.[5]Bagshaw SM,Ghali WA.Theophylline for preventionof contrast-induced nephropathy.Arch Intern Med 2005;165:1087—93.198S.Yoshida et al.[6]Meschi M,Detrenis S,Musini S,Strada E,Savazzi G.Facts and fallacies concerning the prevention of con-trast medium-induced nephropathy.Crit Care Med2006;34: 2060—8.[7]Crisby M,Nordin-Fredriksson G,Prediman KS,Yano J,Zhu J,Nilsson J.Pravastatin treatment increases collagen content and decreases lipid content,inflammation,metallopro-teases,and cell death in human carotid plaques.Circulation 2001;103:926—33.[8]Bellosta S,Ferri N,Bernini F,Paoletti R,Corsini A.Non-lipid-related effects of statins.Ann Intern Med2000;103:926—33.[9]T eshima Y,Yufu K,Akioka H,Iwao T,Anan F,Nakagawa M,Yonemochi H,T akahashi N,Hara M,Saikawa T.Early ator-vastatin therapy improves cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction.J Cardiol2009;53:58—64.
