Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction is rarely caused by non-occlusive thrombus in angiographically normal coronary arteries. The cases reported in the literature are scarce and follow-up was usually short. The efficacy and tolerability of the exclusively medical treatment strategy used in most cases remain unknown. AIMS To evaluate efficacy of medical treatment and long-term prognosis in these patients. METHODS We retrospectively selected and analysed patients hospitalized in our centre between 1998 and 2008 for myocardial infarction caused by non-occlusive thrombus in angiographically normal coronary arteries (defined as stenosis<30%), who were exclusively medically treated. A long-term follow-up was performed. A review of the literature regarding such cases was carried out. RESULTS Sixteen patients were identified; apart from smoking, they had few conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Two patients died in hospital. The 14 survivors were followed up for an average of 4.9 years and only one death (non-cardiac cause) and one stroke (related to supraventricular arrhythmia) occurred in this period. Medical treatment included the use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors in 75% of cases. The literature review revealed 36 similar cases due to multiple aetiologies-particularly coronary artery spasm and prothrombotic coagulopathies. CONCLUSION Patients with myocardial infarction secondary to non-occlusive thrombus in angiographically normal coronary arteries seem to have a good long-term prognosis after the acute phase when treated with an exclusively medical strategy. However, initial clinical presentation was often severe, leading to early in-hospital death.

Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2011; 35:125-31.

Abstract
PURPOSE Irinotecan (CPT11) at 180 mg/m(2) with LV5FU2 for metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) has response rates (RRs) of 56 and 4% as first- and second-line treatments, respectively [1-2], and higher doses of CPT11 result in higher RRs. The present cohort analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of increasing doses of this combination treatment in clinical practice. METHODS Chemo-naive and pretreated patients with MCRC received CPT11 and LV5FU2 (5FU 48-h CI 2400 mg/m(2), D1 bolus leucovorin 200 mg/m(2)), followed by 5FU 400 mg/m(2) (cycles d1-d15). CPT11 dose was increased by 20 mg/m(2) at each cycle, from 180 mg/m(2) up to 260 mg/m(2), unless grade 3 toxicities other than alopecia arose. RESULTS Between March 2002 and September 2005, 46 patients were recruited (median age: 62.3 years). A total of 512 cycles of chemotherapy were administered (median: 9 cycles/patient; range: 3-41). Median follow-up was 16.2 months. Altogether, 27 patients had received prior chemotherapy: 24 with an oxaliplatin-based regimen; seven with CPT11; and five with LV5FU2 or oral 5FU. Doses of 260 mg/m(2) were used in 17 patients, 240 mg/m(2) in seven, 220 mg/m(2) in six and 200 mg/m(2) in five, while 11 remained at 180 mg/m(2); 121 cycles used 260 mg/m(2) (24%), with 76 cycles at 240 mg/m(2) (14%), 78 cycles at 220 mg/m(2) and 58 cycles at 200mg/m(2). The objective response (OR) was 40%, with stable disease (SD) in 45% and disease progression (DP) in 11%. In the first-line therapy group, partial/complete responses were 55%, with SD in 30% and DP in 15%. In pretreated patients, OR was 30.5%, SD was 58.5% and DP was 11%. Nine patients (20%) had a therapeutic break (median: 5.1 months; range: 3-10). Overall median survival was 17 months, with 16.5 months in pretreated patients and 19.6 months in the first-line group. Toxicity grades 3-4 and overall incidence per cycle were: neutropenia, 3-22%; diarrhea, 4-22%; vomiting, 2-20%; alopecia, 20-26%; anemia, 0.2-2%; thrombocytopenia, 0-0%; and mucositis, 0.4-2.2%. CONCLUSION The toxicity of high-dose CPT11+LV5FU2 chemotherapy was well tolerated when the dose was progressively increased according to individual tolerability, with 37% of patients receiving CPT11 at 260 mg/m(2). Progression-free survival (PFS) increased with higher doses of CPT11. In the chemo-naive and pretreated subgroups, the median PFS was 10.9 and 8.8 months, respectively (P=0.698, NS). Optimization of CPT11 doses in pretreated patients appears to pave the way for new treatment options.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Although poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) inhibition is a recent promising therapy in breast cancer, PARP1 expression in this disease is not known.
Methods. Using DNA microarray and array-based comparative genomic hybridization (arrayCGH), we examined PARP1 mRNA expression and copy number alterations in 326 invasive breast cancer samples and normal breast samples. A meta-analysis was performed on a large public retrospective gene expression dataset (n= 2,485) to analyze correlation between PARP1 mRNA expression and molecular subtypes and clinico-pathological parameters.
Results. PARP1 was overexpressed in 58% of cancers, and its expression was heterogeneous between tumors. ArrayCGH data revealed an association between mRNA overexpression and gain/amplification at the PARP1 locus (p<1.0E-8). Meta-analysis showed that PARP1 expression was higher in basal breast cancers (p<1.0E-72), but overexpression was also found in other subtypes. PARP1 expression correlated with high grade, medullary histological type, tumor size and worse metastasis-free survival (HR=1.12 [1.04-1.22]; p=0.004). In multivariate analysis, PARP1 expression had an independent prognostic value, which was restricted to patients untreated with any adjuvant chemotherapy.
Univariate and multivariate analyses in MFS in patients untreated with systemic adjuvant chemotherapy
Conclusion. These data demonstrate overexpression of PARP1 in a large number of breast cancers and its association with reduced metastasis-free survival. These results further support the development of PARP inhibitors in basal subtype but also potentially in other breast cancer subtypes.

Echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Cardiovasc Ultrasound 2010; 8:21.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic ratio of peak tricuspid regurgitant velocity to the right ventricular outflow tract time-velocity integral (TRV/TVI rvot) was presented as a reliable non-invasive method of estimating pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Studies using this technique in patients with moderate to high PVR are scarce. Left ventricular outflow tract time-velocity integral (TVI lvot) can be easier to measure than TVI rvot, especially in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) with significant anatomical modifications of the right structures. AIMS We wanted to determine whether the TRV/TVI rvot and TRV/TVI lvot ratios would form a reliable non-invasive tool to estimate PVR in a cohort of patients with moderate to severe pulmonary vascular disease. METHODS Doppler echocardiographic examination and right heart catheterisation were performed in 37 patients. Invasive PVR was compared with TRV/TVI rvot and TRV/TVI lvot ratios using regression analysis. Two equations were modelled and the results compared with invasive measurements using the Bland-Altman analysis. Using receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis, a cut-off value for the two ratios was generated. RESULTS Correlation coefficients between invasive PVR and TRV/TVI rvot then TRV/TVI lvot were respectively 0.76 and 0.74. Two new equations were found but the Bland-Altman analysis showed wide standard deviations (respectively 3.8 and 3.9 Wood units). A TRV/TVI rvot then TRV/TVI lvot ratio cut-off value of 0.14 had a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 57% for the first and a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 57% for the second to determine PVR > 2 Wood units. CONCLUSION Echocardiography is useful for the screening of patients with pulmonary hypertension and PVR > 2 WU. It remains disappointing for accurate assessment of high PVR. TVI lvot may be an alternative to TVI rvot for patients for whom accurate TVI rvot measurement is not possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral microembolism detected by transcranial Doppler occurs systematically during cardiac catheterization, but its clinical relevance remains unknown. Studies suggest that asymptomatic embolic cerebral infarction detectable by diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI might exist after percutaneous cardiac interventions, especially after retrograde catheterization of the aortic valve in patients with valvular aortic stenosis, with a frequency as high as 22% of cases. We investigated the incidence of new ischemic lesions on serial cerebral DW MRI after cardiac catheterization. METHODS This prospective study involved 46 patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. To assess the occurrence of cerebral infarction, all patients underwent cerebral DW MRI and neurological assessment within 24 hours before and 48 hours after cardiac catheterization and retrograde catheterization of the aortic valve. A subgroup was monitored by transcranial power M-mode Doppler during cardiac catheterization to observe cerebral blood flow and track emboli. RESULTS One patient had a focal diffusion abnormality on DW MRI before cardiac catheterization. After catheterization, we detected only 1 additional acute cerebral diffusion abnormality in a single case (2.2%), although cerebral microemboli were detected in all transcranial Doppler-monitored patients during cardiac catheterization, as expected. All patients remained asymptomatic. Based on these results a mid-point incidence of 5.9% (95% CI, 0.01 to 12.5) for abnormalities on DW MRI in asymptomatic cardiac catheterization patients in our center can be assigned. CONCLUSIONS Unsuspected cerebral infarctions can be detected by DW MRI after cardiac catheterization, but this phenomenon remains unfrequent in our series. Further studies are needed to identify factors explaining the discrepancy between these results and those of previous studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND White matter lesions (WML) in elderly people co-occur with hypertension, depression, and cognitive impairment. Little is known about the density and distribution of WML in normal elderly people, whether they occur randomly in the aging brain or tend to cluster in certain areas, or whether patterns of WML aggregation are linked to clinical symptoms. OBJECTIVES To describe patterns of WML distribution in a large representative population of elderly people using non-inferential cluster analysis; and to determine the extent to which such patterns are associated with clinical symptomatology. METHOD A population sample of 1077 elderly people was recruited. Multiple analysis of correspondence followed by automatic classification methods was used to explore overall patterns of WML distribution. Correspondence was then sought between these patterns and a range of cerebrovascular, psychiatric, and neurological symptoms. RESULTS Three distinct patterns of spatial localisation within the brain were observed, corresponding to distinct clusters of clinical symptoms. In particular WML aggregation in temporal and occipital areas was associated with greater age, hypertension, late onset depressive disorder, poor global cognitive function, and overall WML frequency. CONCLUSIONS WML localisation is not random in the aging brain, and their distribution is associated with age and the presence of clinical symptoms. Age differences suggest there may be patterns of progression across time; however, this requires confirmation from longitudinal imaging studies.

Abstract
Four cases of young patients with acute myocardial infarction are discussed in which urgent angiography showed large intracoronary thrombus and TIMI (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) flow > or = 2 in the infarct related artery. The rest of the coronary tree appeared to be free of detectable atherosclerosis. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was not performed and an aggressive antiplatelet/anticoagulant treatment was administered (acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, abciximab, and heparin). In all cases early angiographic control (1-12 days after AMI) showed disappearance of thrombus, no significant residual stenosis, and normal flow. No deterioration of left ventricular function was observed and the clinical course both in hospital and at five months' follow up was uneventful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preliminary trials of direct coronary stenting have demonstrated the benefits of this approach. It lowers procedural cost, time, and radiation exposure compared with predilatation. Nevertheless, the long-term outcome after direct stenting remains less well known. METHODS Between January and September 1999, 338 patients were randomly assigned to either direct stent implantation (DS+, n = 173) or standard stent implantation with balloon predilatation (DS-, n = 165). Clinical follow-up was performed. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar in the 2 groups. Procedural success was achieved in 98.3% of patients assigned to DS+ and 97.5% of patients assigned to DS- (not significant). Clinical follow-up was obtained in 99% of patients (mean 16.4 +/- 4.6 months). Major adverse cardiac events--defined as whichever of the following occurred first; cardiac death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, new revascularization--were observed at a higher rate in the DS+ group than in the DS-, but this difference was not significant (11.3% vs 18.2%, P = not significant). The difference in target lesion revascularization rate in the DS+ group (7%) and DS- group (5.2%) was also not significant. Multivariate analysis showed that direct stenting had no influence on long-term major adverse cardiac events rate. Independent relationships were found between long-term major adverse cardiac events rate and final minimal lumen diameter <2.48 mm (relative risk [RR] 0.449, CI 0.239-0.845, P =.013), prior myocardial infarction (RR 2.028, CI 1.114-3.69, P =.02), and hypertension (RR 1.859, CI 1.022-3.383, P =.042). CONCLUSION The main finding that emerges from this randomized study is that the influence of direct stenting on long-term need for new target lesion revascularization does not differ from that of stenting with balloon predilatation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recently, direct stenting has been shown in retrospective and randomized studies to be feasible and safe in highly selected patients, with a potential interest to reduce the cost of the procedure and the rate of no-reflow. This randomized pilot study was designed to compare the incidence of no-reflow after direct stenting or conventional stenting after balloon predilation in acute coronary syndrome-related lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS Between December 1998 and October 1999, 130 patients in our center with acute coronary syndromes were included in this study and randomized in 2 groups. In group A (n = 65), direct stent implantation was performed without balloon predilation. In group B (n = 65), conventional balloon predilation was carried out before stent implantation. Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics before the procedure were similar in the 2 groups of patients. No-reflow was observed in 7.7% after direct stenting and in 6.1% after conventional stent implantation (P = not significant). The immediate clinical success rate was similar in the 2 groups. Among the procedural data, only duration of the procedure (shorter in the direct stenting group), the number of balloons used, and the quantity of contrast agent (lower in the direct stenting group) were significantly different between the 2 groups (P <.05). The 6-month clinical outcome was similar in the 2 groups. CONCLUSION This randomized study confirms the promising results of previous studies that show the feasibility and the safety of direct coronary stenting in highly selected acute coronary syndrome-related lesions. The major impact of this strategy is the improvement of the cost-benefit ratio, with no major influence on the acute complications and especially on the occurrence of no-reflow in this high-risk population.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of direct coronary stenting in acute coronary syndromes using 5 Fr guiding catheters by transradial approach. A series of 119 patients with an acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina, n = 55; acute myocardial infarction, n = 45; recent acute myocardial infarction, n = 19) explored by transradial approach and eligible for direct stenting were included. A large proportion of patients (52%) was treated during the procedure by platelet IIb/IIIa receptor blockade. Only Medtronic 5 Fr guiding catheters were used in this study. Direct coronary stenting was attempted in all 119 highly selected patients. Failure of direct stenting was observed in only five cases (3.9%) and the stent successfully retrieved in each case in the 5 Fr guiding catheter. In these five cases, balloon predilation was performed and then the stent implanted successfully. Different stents were used: ACS stent (54%), AVE stent (33%), Velocity stent (10%), Nir stent (3%), with diameter ranging from 2.5 to 4 mm. In four cases, the dilation was finally performed using 6 Fr guiding catheters because the backup of the 5 Fr catheter was considered to be too low (3%). No vascular access site complications occurred in this series of patients. We conclude that direct coronary stenting using transradial approach and 5 Fr guiding catheters yields excellent procedural success rate. In the setting of acute coronary syndromes requiring platelet IIb/IIIa receptor blockade or after failure of thrombolysis, this mini-invasive strategy is very attractive because of the low risk of access site complications.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to establish a correlation between ageing and Raman spectra imaging of human teeth. Raman spectrum of an analysed sample is characteristic of its chemical components. By exploring the different dentinal areas on each tooth, we sought to find a correlation between noticeable variability on Raman spectra and the stages of dentinal evolution with advancing age. A study on 30 teeth analysed by Raman microspectrometry was used to select predictors of age, and it allowed us to determine a regression formula, with age as a dependent variable. Our data were computed by means of a statistical method called partial least squares (PLS) regression. This method was specially adapted for this kind of situation, where we have numerous predictors and relatively few observations. The regression formula was performed on a test sample of four more teeth, and we obtained a correct age estimation, with a mean error of more or less than 5 years. The main benefits of this method was a minimal and non-destructive tooth preparation, which led to an efficient age prediction, for any age group.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of stent placement with and without balloon predilatation on duration of the procedure, reduction of procedure-related costs, and clinical outcomes. Although preliminary trials of direct coronary stenting have demonstrated promising results, the lack of randomized studies with long-term follow-up has limited the critical evaluation of the role of direct stenting in the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease. Between January and September 1999, 338 patients were randomly assigned to either direct stent implantation (DS+; 173 patients) or standard stent implantation with balloon predilatation (DS-; 165 patients). Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar in the 2 groups. Procedural success was achieved in 98.3% of patients assigned to DS+ and 97.5% of patients assigned to DS- (p = NS), with a crossover rate of 13.9%. Compared with DS-, DS+ conferred a dramatic reduction in procedure-related cost ($956.4 +/- $352.2 vs $1,164.6 +/- $383.9, p <0.0001) and duration of the procedure (424.2 +/- 412.1 vs 634.5 +/- 390.1 seconds, p < 0.0001). At 6-month follow-up, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events including death, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, repeat angioplasty, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery was 5.3% in DS+ and 11.4% in DS- (p = NS). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that major adverse cardiac events rates were related to stent length of 10 mm (relative risk [RR] 3.25, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.36 to 7.78; p = 0.008), stent diameter of 3 mm (RR 2.69, 95% CI 1.03 to 7.06; p = 0.043), and complex lesion type C (RR 2.83, 95% CI 1.02 to 7.85; p = 0.045). Thus, in selected patients, this prospective randomized study shows the feasibility of DS+ with reduction in procedural cost and length, and without an increase in in-hospital clinical events and major adverse cardiac events at 6-month follow-up.

Abstract
The Tenax coronary stent is laser sculpted from high precision 316 L stainless steel using advanced production procedures. An a-SiC: H (hydrogen-rich amorphous silicon carbide) coating reduces its thrombogenicity and improves its biocompatibility. From April to July 1998, 266 stents were implanted in 241 patients (aged 62.7 +/- 10.5 years) in five centers. The clinical indication for intervention was unstable angina (33.2%) and recent myocardial infarction (29.5%) in many cases. Most lesions (53.8%) had complex characteristics (Class B2 or C). The target vessel was the LAD in 42.5% and the right coronary artery in 36.8% of all cases. Four primary stent deployment failures occurred and implantation was successful in 259 (97.4%) of 266 stents. No death and no Q-wave myocardial infarction or emergency CABG occurred during hospital stay. Clinical success, defined as successful deployment without procedural or clinical event, was achieved in 230 (95.4%) of 241 patients. One-year clinical follow-up shows a low need for target lesion revascularization (17/237 [7.1%] patients) and a 15.8% rate of major adverse cardiac events (36/237 patients). The clinical and angiographic outcomes of our study suggest that the hybrid, amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide coated design is promising and merits further evaluation in larger clinical trials.
