Schmidt-Lucke

Schmidt-Lucke et al. [46] followed 120 patients (43 control subjects, 44 patients with stable CAD, and 33 patients with acute coronary syndromes) for 10 months and recorded MACE events (Fig. 7.2). Patients with reduced EPCs had significantly higher rates of MACE. When the results were analyzed by multivariate analysis, reduced EPC levels were found to be an independent predictor of worse prognosis, even after adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and disease activity (hazard ratio, 3.9 P< 0.05).

Due to the successful applications of the JMAK formal theory to a wide range of nucleation and growth phenomena in macroscopic samples, researchers have tried to employ the JMAK theory to model phase transitions in nanomaterials systems. This has been successful in some cases (Lu and Wang 1991 Luck el al. 1993 Varga et al. 1994 Luck et al. 1996 Damson et al 1996 Missana et al. 1999 Schmidt et al. 2000). However, other studies suggest that applications of the general JMAK theory to nanomaterials systems are only partially satisfactory (Allia et al. 1993 Illekova et al. 1996 Malek et al. 1999 ), or even inappropriate (Nicolaus et al. 1992 Gloriant et al. 2000).
