AbstractBackgroundThe introduction of drug‐eluting stents (DES) dramatically changed the practice of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the 2000s. Little is known about trends in in‐hospital outcome after PCI in the DES era.HypothesisThe in‐hospital outcomes after PCI might be continuously improved over time.MethodsWe analyzed in‐hospital outcomes of 21 667 patients who underwent PCI at Fu Wai Hospital in the past 5 years. The patients were divided into 5 groups according to the time of their intervention: group 1 (June 2004 to May 2005), group 2 (June 2005 to May 2006), group 3 (June 2006 to May 2007), group 4 (June 2007 to May 2008), and group 5 (June 2008 to May 2009).ResultsProcedural success rates for the 5 groups were 93.6%, 95%, 94.4%, 94.2%, and 94.3%, respectively (P = 0.39). Significant reduction in in‐hospital major adverse cardiac events (3.1%, 3.4%, 2.8%, 1.6%, and 1.0%, P < 0.001) and need for target‐vessel revascularization (2.0%, 2.2%, 1.5%, 0.4%, and 0.2%, P < 0.001) was noted over time, which was associated with a significant increase in use of DES (from 56.6% to 97.0%, P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, use of DES, dissection during procedure, left main lesion, prior myocardial infarction, and age ≥ 65 years were independent predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events.ConclusionsThere were substantial reductions in in‐hospital major adverse cardiac events and target‐vessel revascularization over the past 5 years. This reduction was associated with the concurrent increased use of DES.

AbstractBackgroundA substantial minority of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) do not have a diameter stenosis of any major epicardial coronary artery on angiography (“no obstruction at angiography”) of ≥ 50%. We examined the frequency of this finding and its relationship to race and sex.HypothesisAmong patients with myocardial infarction, younger age, female sex and non‐white race are associated with the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease at angiography.MethodsWe reviewed the results of all angiograms performed from May 19, 2006 to September 29, 2006 at 1 private (n = 793) and 1 public (n = 578) urban academic medical center. Charts were reviewed for indication and results of angiography, and for demographics.ResultsThe cohort included 518 patients with ACS. There was no obstruction at angiography in 106 patients (21%), including 48 (18%) of 258 patients with myocardial infarction. Women were more likely to have no obstruction at angiography than men, both in the overall cohort (55/170 women [32%] vs 51/348 men [15%], P < 0.001) and in the subset with MI (29/90 women [32%] vs 19/168 men [11%], P < 0.001). Black patients were more likely to have no obstruction at angiography relative to any other subgroup (24/66 [36%] vs 41/229 [18%] Whites, 31/150 [21%] Hispanics, and 5/58 [9%] Asians, P = 0.001). Among women, Black patients more frequently had no obstruction at angiography compared with other ethnic groups (16/27 [59%] vs 17/59 [29%] Whites, 17/60 [28%] Hispanics, and 3/19 [6%] Asians, P = 0.001).ConclusionsA high proportion of a multiethnic sample of patients with ACS were found to have no stenosis ≥ 50% in diameter at coronary angiography. This was particularly common among women and Black patients. Copyright © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.This work was supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

Accuracy of Transthoracic Echocardiography for the Measurement of the Ascending Aorta: Comparison With Transesophageal Echocardiography
Authors: Kabirdas Deepa , Scridon Cristiana , Brenes Juan‐Carlos , Hernandez Adrian V. , Novaro Gian M. , Asher Craig R. 
Published: August 2010

AbstractBackgroundThere has been a substantial increase in the number of imaging studies performed to assess thoracic aortic pathology. We sought to determine the accuracy of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) compared to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for measuring ascending aortic size.HypothesisTransthoracic echocardiography is reasonably accurate for assessing ascending aortic dimension.MethodsFifty‐two patients with or without aortic disease underwent both TTE with nonstandard views and TEE. The ascending aorta was measured at 4 levels by 2 blinded observers for each modality. Pearson's correlation coefficients were determined and Bland‐Altman plots and analyses were constructed. Inter‐ and intraobserver variability was determined in a random subgroup of patients.ResultsThe mean age of the group was 65.5 years old and 15% had aortic dilation >4.0 cm. A strong positive correlation between the 2 imaging modalities was seen at all levels with the highest correlation for the maximum diameter of the ascending aorta (r = 0.936, P < 0.0001). Interobserver and intraobserver variability showed a good intraclass correlation among readers and among the same reader at all levels.ConclusionsTransthoracic echocardiography using nonstandard imaging windows is accurate in comparison to TEE for measurement of the ascending aorta at multiple levels in patients with or without aortic pathology. The findings of this study provide support for selected serial follow‐up of patients with aortic disease by TTE only.

Reaching customers at the base of the pyramid—a two‐stage business strategy
Authors: Gollakota Kamala , Gupta Vipin , Bork James T. 
Published: August 2010

AbstractTwo‐thirds of the world's population make less than $2,000 a year. There is increasing attention paid to how private firms can play a role in improving the quality of life of people at the bottom of the economic pyramid in ways that are mutually beneficial. But despite the promise of mutual benefit, many firms have not been able to serve very poor customers profitably. In this article, we present a two‐stage business strategy that will help firms to serve customers at the base of the pyramid. We suggest that in the first stage, firms need a deep cost management strategy, involving a focus on core customer value, and holistic operations reengineering. In the second stage, we suggest that firms need to consider a deep benefit management strategy, involving value reengineering, partnering for excellence, and creating inclusive channels. We support our ideas with examples of successful and unsuccessful cases of firms that have tried to serve the poor. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The people dimension in modern international marketing: Neglected but crucial
Authors: Czinkota Michael R. , Samli A. Coskun 
Published: August 2010

AbstractInternational marketing has performed extremely well during the second half of the twentieth century. During this period, the role, skills, and performance of marketing professionals have changed. This article examines these dramatic changes.We examine the changing role of marketing professionals in four distinct periods: 1945–1964, 1965–1984, 1985–2004, and 2005 forward. These periods are labeled as ages of coincidence, confluence, commingling, and creative conflicted collaboration. The role, skills, and performances of marketing professionals are analyzed as they emerged and changed.The article posits that as globalization continues as an unstoppable movement, the roles of marketing professionals are likely to emerge as a changing strategic tool. We carefully analyze professionals as one of the critical “Ps” of the marketing mix and examine their role in ever‐successful international marketing and its relationship to globalization. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Managing market entry in Oman: The case of Nawras
Authors: Birnik Andreas , Cormack Ross , Moat Richard 
Published: August 2010

AbstractThis article focuses on the challenges faced by the mobile operator Nawras when entering the Omani telecom market in 2005. The source material consists of auto‐ethnographic accounts of two European managers who worked at Nawras during the launch period. The result is a rich and highly personal account of market‐entry challenges and managerial efforts to overcome such challenges in a newly deregulated Gulf country. The Nawras story suggests that entrants into a Gulf market such as Oman need a great deal of flexibility and improvisation capabilities in order to become successful. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
How Cisco creates new value via global customer service
Authors: Hastings Hunter , Saperstein Jeff , Perman Michael R. 
Published: August 2010

AbstractIn Bust the Silos: Opening Your Organization for Growth, Hunter Hastings and Jeff Saperstein offer a new concept for business growth in today's global economy. It is called “demand creation”: the design of new organizational structures and processes to make managing the demand for a product or service a process‐based, predictable, and repeatable science.The challenge is how to harness the capabilities of new productivity tools with new business processes for success. Hastings and Saperstein argue that forward‐thinking organizations must work differently: in roles, not just jobs; in new forms of multifunctional teams, not just departments; in networks, not just rigid structures; and in listening to escalate responsiveness, not just communicating to get the message across.We all now operate in a highly connected, rapidly evolving, customer‐centric, and knowledge‐driven environment. Yet, most of our current management practices, organizational models, and job functions are not effective in serving our customers.Value is created through relationships with customers. Companies must adopt principles and practices that encourage every individual in the diverse groups of employees to have a shared sense of purpose to engage in more effective ways of working together to build customer intimacy and loyalty.This article profiles the Cisco Customer Interaction Network and the transformation of its global operations from call centers to customer‐relationship builders. It addresses the following questions:

Why is being adaptive necessary for organizational survival?
How does one design a customer support system that listens and teaches rather than just fixes problems?
How does one take full advantage of the Web for customer support?
How does one give front‐line professionals the training and tools to be consultants rather than mechanistic problem solvers?
How can evolving metrics be a game changer?

As the dollar sinks, will the yuan float?
Authors: Castle Kevin 
Published: August 2010

AbstractMany scholars believe with the United States' increasing debt, the global position of the dollar is weakening. As the dollar declines, China, now the largest holder of U.S. dollars in the world, is understandably concerned. China's controversial peg to the U.S. dollar, combined with its $2.4 trillion in foreign reserves and trade imbalances, is debated daily by politicians and economists. This article presents arguments for and against the current China monetary policy in economic and political contexts. Statements from China's leaders, other global leaders, and economists are reviewed. Economic and political obstacles and incentives in the context of their influence on the China government are considered. Finally, milestones for business leaders to look for are suggested to help determine China's possible path to a fully convertible yuan. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: August 2010

AbstractBackgroundRecent studies suggest that single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes and genes of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have an impact on the expression of these genes and on the prognosis for gastric cancer.MethodsGenomic DNA was extracted from paraffin‐embedded tissues of 135 patients who were treated surgically for primary gastric carcinoma. Genotyping was performed for MMP‐2−1306C>T, TIMP‐2303C>T, and MMP‐7−181A>G. MMP‐2 and TIMP‐2 antigen expression in resected tumor tissues was detected immunohistochemically. Genotyping was correlated with antigen expression, histopathologic parameters, and prognosis.ResultsThe SNPs did not correlate with tumor differentiation, pT, R category, or the classifications according to the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and Laurén and Ming. A significant correlation was observed for TIMP‐2303C>T with higher pN stages (p = 0.01) and more distant metastasis (p = 0.02) for patients with the CC genotypes. In univariate analysis, patients with the TIMP‐2303C>T CC genotype had an inferior survival, that was not significant (p = 0.2). However, among the gastric cancer patients in the present study, MMP‐2−1306C>T significantly correlated with gender, with men having more CC genotypes than women (p = 0.025). There were no significant correlations between genotype and protein levels of MMP‐2 (p = 0.766) and TIMP‐2 (p = 0.684).ConclusionsThe TIMP‐2303C>T CC genotype is associated with higher pN and pM categories and, in contrast to previous studies, with worse survival in gastric cancer.

AbstractBackgroundThe purpose of this study was to assess the concomitant use of contrast‐enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE‐IOUS) using the new microbubble agent Sonazoid, and to assess the fluorescence navigation system (Photo Dynamic Eye, or PDE) using indocyanine green (ICG) as a novel tool for identifying colorectal metastatic lesions compared with preoperative contrast‐enhanced multiple row‐detected computed tomography (MDCT) and gadoxetic acid‐enhanced MRI.MethodsThirty‐two patients who underwent a liver resection for colorectal metastatic carcinoma from 2008 to 2009 were included in the present study. ICG was intravenously injected within 2 weeks of the operation. The liver was inspected with CE‐IOUS using Sonazoid and PDE for visualizing small metastatic lesions. A lesion analysis was performed with the postoperative histopathological examination of the resected tissues. The clinical values of CE‐IOUS and PDE to confirm the malignant lesion diagnoses were statistically evaluated.ResultsA total of 56 lesions were identified based on the histopathological findings of the biopsies and resected tissues; of these, 52 were confirmed to be metastases, whereas 4 were benign tumors. The numbers of identified metastases by MDCT/MRI and CE‐IOUS/PDE were 46 and 51, respectively. The use of CE‐IOUS and PDE improved the diagnostic sensitivity compared with the use of MDCT and EOB‐MRI (98.1 vs. 88.5%, respectively; P = 0.050).ConclusionsThe present results suggested that the concomitant use of CE‐IOUS with the Sonazoid and PDE system may be a useful and safe method, in addition to CT or MRI.
