In order to evaluate the effect of calcitriol on platelet aggregation, platelet rich plasma (PRP) in healthy group (15 cases) and clopidogrel resistance group (15 cases) were treated with calcitriol (10 nmol/L) and saline (37 ℃ pretreatment for 5 minutes), respectively, and to compare the difference of maximum platelet aggregation rate induced by ADP between the two treatments. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000There were significant differences in ADP-induced maximum platelet aggregation rate (MPAR) ((49.36±23.34)%, (48.80±20.90)%, (37.02±18.24)%, (36.02±14.46)%, F=3.426, P=0.018) and clopidogrel resistance (CR)/ clopidogrel sensitive (CS) ratio (30/20, 24/26, 15/35, 10/30, χ2=15.119, P=0.002) among the vitamin D quartiles (increasing). Moreover, the MPAR and CR showed a decreasing trend with the increase of vitamin D concentration.Logistic regression analysis showed that serum 25(OH)D level was an independent inhibited factor for clopidogrel resistance in elderly patients with ischemic stroke (Q4 vs Q1, OR=0.699, 95%CI 0.582~0.838, P<0.001; Q3 vs Q1, OR=0.848, 95%CI 0.755-0.953, P=0.006). In vitro, compared with physiological saline, the aggregation rates of platelet in healthy group and CR group decreased after calcitriol pretreatment, and the difference was statistically significant(healthy group: (69.8±12.7)% vs (58.6±11.5)%, t=12.13, P<0.001; CR group: (65.5±8.3)% vs (56.3±7.6)%, t=11.48, P<0.001). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion \u0000Vitamin D reduces the high residual platelet reactivity after antiplatelet therapy.Further study is needed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation may improve the efficacy of clopidogrel. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Ischemic stroke; Antiplatelet therapy; Vitamin D; Drug resistance","PeriodicalId":10365,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Medicine of China","volume":"35 1","pages":"300-305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45398593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In SLE without LN group, baPWV was positively correlated with age, systolic blood pressure(SBP)and total cholesterol(CHOL)(r=0.623, 0.528, 0.402, P<0.01 or P<0.05), and negatively correlated with blood uric acid(UA) (r=-0.371, P<0.05), but the correlation was not significant.The correlation between UA and baPWV disappeared after after correction of age, SBP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by partial correlation analysis.In SLE with LN group, baPWV was positively correlated with SBP, DBP and serum creatinine(Cr) (r=0.815, 0.725, 0.464, P<0.01 or P<0.05). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that SBP was independently correlated with baPWV in SLE group (t=2.54, P=0.026); UA in SLE group without LN was independently negatively correlated with baPWV(t=-2.96, P=0.042); UA(t=4.24, P=0.013) and SBP(t=7.70, P=0.002) were independently positively correlated with baPWV in SLE group with LN.Logistic regression analysis showed that SLE was a risk factor for baPWV (≥1 400 cm/s), and the OR (95% CI) was 4.31 (1.56-11.88), P=0.005, and there was statistical significance after adjusting for age, SBP, DBP, body mass index (BMI).
