Newer polymer-free DES might have a reduction in late stent thrombosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different drug eluting stents in patients with acute coro- nary syndromes (ACS) by one year follow-up. Methods This study assessed the results of the Nano polymer- free SES (Lepu Medical Technology, Beijing, China) and Endeavor durable-polymer ZES (Medtronic, Minneapo- lis, MN, USA) in ACS patients by clinical follow-up and coronary angiography analysis. The primary endpoint was the onset of any major adverse cardiac events (MACE) such as cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). The secondary endpoints were target lesion revascularization (TLR) and stent thrombosis (ST) at the end of one year follow-up. Results Between April 2014 and June 2015, a total of 513 consecutive patients were enrolled in this trial. There were 259 patients enrolled in Nano group and 253 pa- tients in Endeavor group. Mean age was 62.8 +10.3 years old (range: 28 to 87 years of age), and 65.3% of pa- tients were male. Compared Nano-SES to Endeavor-ZES, the incidence of MACE was 5.4% vs. 7.1%. The hazard ratio (HR) was 1.32 with 95% confidence interval (CI) as 0.64-2.72 (P = 0.45). Secondary end points showed TLR (1.9% vs. 3.2%; HR, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.45-4.55; P = 0.55) and ST (0.4% vs. 0.8%; HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 0.18- 5.37; P = 0.99), in the one-year period of follow-up. Conclusion Within one-year, the Nano polymer-free SES has similar safety and efficacy compared with the Endeavor durable-polymer ZES in the treatment of patients with ACS.展开更多

Silk scaffold nano-fibers made by electro-spinning technology can be used in regenerated tissue applications. The purpose of the research is to prepare a silk-fibroin nano-fiber solution for potential applications in tissue engineering. Using a degumming process, pure silk fibroin protein is extracted from silk cocoons. The protein solution for fibroin is purified, and the protein content is determined. The precise chemical composition, exact temperature, time, voltage, distance, ratio, and humidity all have a huge impact on degumming, solubility, and electro-spinning nano-fibers. The SEM investigates the morphology of silk fibroin nano-fibres at different magnifications. It also reveals the surface condition, fiber orientation, and fiber thickness of the silk fibroin nano-fiber. The results show that regenerated silk fibroin and nano-fiber can be used in silk fibroin scaffolds for various tissue engineering applications.展开更多
