ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effect of Zhibitai capsule combined with pitavastatin on blood lipid levels in pa-tients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:A total of 180 CHD patients who were treated in our hospital from Mar 2018 to Feb 2021 were selected.According to random number table method,they were divided into pita-vastatin group(n=90)and combined treatment group(n=90,received Zhibitai capsule combined with pitavasta-tin),and both groups were treated for eight weeks.Clinical therapeutic effect,levels of blood lipids and inflamma-tory factors before and after treatment,and incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared between two groups.Results:Total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of pitavas-tatin group(94.44％vs.80.00％,P=0.001).Compared with pitavastatin group after treatment,there were signif-icant reductions in serum levels of total cholesterol(TC)[(4.39±0.71)mmol/L vs.(2.86±0.56)mmol/L],tri-glyceride(TG)[(2.28±0.43)mmol/L vs.(1.46±0.39)mmol/L],low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)[(2.93±0.50)mmol/L vs.(1.84±0.52)mmol/L],lipoprotein(a)[(124.57±11.37)mmol/L vs.(85.83± 11.96)mmol/L],interleukin-6(IL-6)[(21.28±3.64)pg/mlvs.(12.39±2.08)pg/ml],high mobility group box-1 protein B1(HMGB1)[(3.84±0.98)μg/L vs.(1.28±0.79)μg/L],tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)[(4.06±0.62)ng/ml vs.(2.39±0.48)ng/ml],and significant rise in level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)[(1.89±0.26)mmol/L vs.(2.63±0.31)mmol/L]in combined treatment group,P=0.001 all.There was no significant difference in incidence rate of adverse reactions between two groups,P=0.600.Conclu-sion:Zhibitai capsule combined with pitavastatin can effectively regulate blood lipids,reduce the levels of inflamma-tory factors in patients with coronary heart disease,which is safe and effective.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore the outcomes of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation protocol (PPOS) in aged infertile women who failed to get pregnant in the first IVF/ICSI-ET cycles with GnRH-a long protocol.A self-controlled study was conducted to retrospectively investigate the clinical outcomes of 104 aged infertile patients who didn't get pregnant in the first IVF/ICSI-ET treatment by stimulating with GnRH-a long protocol (non-PPOS group),and underwent PPOS protocol (PPOS group) in the second cycle between January 2016 and December 2016 in the Center for Reproductive Medicine,Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.The primary outcomes included clinical pregnancy rate of frozen-thawed embryos transfer (FET) in PPOS group,and good-quality embryo rate in both groups.The secondary outcomes were fertilization rate,egg utilization rate and cycle cancellation rate.The results showed that there were no significant differences in basal follicle stimulating hormone (bFSH),antral follicle count (AFC),duration and total dosage of gonadotropin (Gn),number of oocytes retrieved,intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) rate,fertilization rate,and cycle cancellation rate between the two groups (P＞0.05).However,the oocyte utilization rate and good-quality embryo rate in PPOS group were significantly higher than those in non-PPOS group (P＜0.05).By the end of April 2017,62 FET cycles were conducted in PPOS group.The clinical pregnancy rate and embryo implantation rate were 22.58％ and 12.70％,respectively.In conclusion,PPOS protocol may provide better clinical outcomes by improving the oocyte utilization rate and good-quality embryo rate for aged infertile patients who failed to get pregnant in the first IVF/ICSI-ET cycles.
