Abstract Purpose To investigated the efficacy and safety of a new type of balloon catheter in dilatation intervention for patients with cricopharyngeus achalasia after stroke. Methods Fifty-two patients with cricopharyngeus achalasia after stroke received routinely swallowing rehabilitation trainings and were randomly assigned to: an experimental group (n = 26) that received dilatation therapy using this new balloon catheter one time per day for 5 days per week and a control group (n = 26) that received dilatation therapy with NO.14 ordinary urinary catheter one time per day for 5 days per week. Duration of intervention, EAT-10 and FOIS scores were recorded at baseline and every day during intervention. The time for FOIS score ≥ 3, the time for recovery of oral intake of water, liquid food, mushy food and solid food were recorded and estimated. Complications were recorded during intervention. Results The Exp group had shorter duration of intervention compared to the Con group (p < 0.001). Exp group improved faster than Con group with shorter recovery time for oral intake of liquid food (p < 0.001), mushy food (p = 0.001) and solid food (p < 0.001). At the termination of intervention, EAT-10 score was lower in Exp group than in Con group (p = 0.002). Compared to the Con group, Exp group had similar incidence of complications but better tolerability (p = 0.006). Conclusion Using this new balloon catheter for dilatation improves more and faster than using ordinary urinary catheter in patients with cricopharyngeus achalasia after stroke.

Type Plasminogen Activator

Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) which has a high affinity for fibrin in the clot, was labeled with 131I by the iodogen method, and its binding to de-endothelialized lesions in the rabbit was measured to assess the detectability of thrombi. The de-endothelialized lesion was induced in the abdominal aorta with a Fogarty 4F balloon catheter. Two hours after the de-endothelialization, 131I-labeled t-PA (125 ± 46 μCi) was injected intravenously. The initial half-life of the agent in blood (n = 12) was 2.9 ± 0.4 min. The degree of binding of 131I-labeled t-PA to the de-endothelialized lesion was evaluated at 15 min (n = 6) or at 30 min (n = 6) after injection of the agent. In spite of the retention of the biochemical properties of 131I-labeled t-PA and the presence of fibrin deposition at the de-endothelialized lesion, the binding of t-PA to the lesion was not sufficiently strong. Lesion-to-control ratios (cpm/g/cpm/g) were 1.65 ± 0.40 (at 15 min) and 1.39 ± 1.31 (at 30 min), and lesion-to-blood ratios were 1.39 ± 0.32 (at 15 min) and 1.36 ± 0.23 (at 30 min). These results suggest that radiolabeled t-PA may be inappropriate as a radiopharmaceutical for the scintigraphic detection of a pre-existing thrombotic lesion.

SummaryTwenty-seven adult male New Zealand rabbits (3–4 kgs) were used in this study. Six rabbits received vehicle, 3 groups of 6 each received doses of 4,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)- thiazole, (U-53,059), at 0.3 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg and 30.0 mg/kg/day respectively. Drug and vehicle doses were given orally each day starting 3 days before balloon injury and continuing for the entire 2 week time period. Three rabbits were used as nontreated sham controls. In the vehicle and U-53,059 treated groups aortae were denuded of endothelial cells by balloon catheter injury. Two weeks after injury platelet aggregation to collagen was measured and the aortae removed for analysis of surface characteristics by scanning electron microscopy and lesion size by morphometry. All doses of U-53,059 inhibited platelet aggregation. The 3.0 and 30.0 mg/kg groups had the greatest inhibitory effect. All balloon injured aortae had the same morphologic characteristics. All vessels had similar extent and intensity of Evan’s blue staining, similar areas of leukocyte/platelet adhesion, and a myointimal cell cover of transformed smooth muscle cells. The myointimal proliferative response was not inhibited at any of the drug doses studied.
