ABSTRACT
Objective:To discuss the clinical efficacy of Yixinshu capsule for viral myocarditis (VMC) with deficiency of Qi and Yin, and to investigate its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. Method:One hundred and thirty-two patients were randomly divided into control group (66 cases) and observation group (66 cases) by random number table. Patients in two group got comprehensive treatment of Western medicine, i.e. intravenous drip of creatine phosphate injection for 14 days, 1 g/time, 1 time/day. Coenzyme Q10 capsule, 1 grain/time, 3 times/day after meals. Trimetazidine dihydrochloride tablets, 1 tablet/time, 3 times/day during meals. And critically ill patients got intravenous drip of dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection for 14 days, 10-20 mg/time, 1 time/day. The control group took Wenxin granules orally,One bag at a time,3 times/day. Patients in observation group additionally got Yixinshu capsule, 3 grains/time, 3 times/days. The courses of treatment were 8 weeks in both groups. The serum troponin I (cTnI) and creatine phosphokinase (CK-MB) were monitored, and after treatment, the recovery rates of cTnI, CK-MB were recorded. Before and after treatment, the electrocardiogram was observed and the recovery rate after treatment was recorded. Before and after treatment, the scores of deficiency of Qi and Yin were graded, and levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-17 and IL-35 were detected. Echocardiography, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), cardiac index (CI), and maximum velocity values between early and late diastolic (E/A) were detected. Result:In the analysis of rank sum test, clinical efficacy in observation group was better than that in control group (Z=2.151, P<0.05). Recovery rates of cTnI, CK-MB and electrocardiogram in observation group were 82.26% (51/62), 90.32% (56/62) and 80.65% (50/62), higher than 65.00% (39/60), 73.33% (44/60) and 63.33% (38/60) in control group (P<0.05). Levels of serum cTnI, CK-MB, CPK, HBDH, LDH, AST, MDA, IFN-γ and IL-17 were lower than those in control group (P<0.01), while levels of LVEF, CI, E/A, SOD, GSH-Px, IL-10 and IL-35 were higher than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:On the basis of comprehensive anti-infection treatment, Yixinshu capsule can additional protect myocardium by anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect, reduce myocardial enzyme, promote the recovery of ECG and cardiac enzyme, improve cardiac function and improve the effect of clinical treatment.
ABSTRACT
To investigate the association between fasting plasma glucose [FPG], 2-hour post challenge plasma glucose [2hPG], fasting plasma insulin [FINS], 2-hour post challenge plasma insulin [2hINS], and cardiovascular risk factors in obese and overweight children. This is a cross-sectional study of 452 obese and overweight children [male: 312, female: 140, aged 6-16 years]. This study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China between June 2008 and November 2012. Anthropometries and blood analysis were carried out. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple stepwise linear regression analysis were used to investigate the association among FPG, 2hPG, FINS, 2hINS and cardiovascular risk factors. Body mass index, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and triglyceride were highly correlated with FINS. Fasting plasma insulin influenced greater variance in most cardiovascular risk factors than 2hPG and 2hINS. Fasting plasma insulin was closely associated with most cardiovascular risk factors compared with FPG, 2hPG and 2hINS
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the expression of resistin mRNA and protein in adipose tissues of obese rats,and to explore the correlations between resistin and obesity,insulin resistance.Methods Thirty SD rats were divided into control group(n=15) and high-fat diet group(n=15).The rats in control group recieved common forage.The obese and insulin resistance models were induced with high-fat diet in SD rats.The plasma insulin level was determined by double antibody radioinimunity analysis,and automatic biochemistry analyzer in plement was used to detect the plasma free fatty acid.After 11 weeks,glucose tolerance test was carried out to determine blood glucose levels at intervals(0,30,60,90,120 min).Resistin mRNA from fat pads tissue was extracted by RT-PCR,and then its protein was detected by Western blot.The data were analyzed statistically by SPSS 11.5 software.Results After 11 weeks,the rats′ weight in high-fat diet group increased obviously than that of control group,as well as fasting blood glucose,free fat acid homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMAIR) and the glucose tolerance in high-fat diet group reduced greatly.The resistin mRNA and protein in white adipose tissues were significantly higher in the obese mice than those of control group(Pa
