ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore therapeutic effect of statins on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.Methods: Clinical data of 103 T2DM patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, who were treated in our hospital from Oct 2013 to Dec 2015, were retrospectively studied.According to usage of statins or not, patients were divided into routine treatment group (n=50,didn't use statins) and statin group (n=53,received statins based on routine treatment), both groups were treated for one year.Blood lipid levels before and after treatment, and incidence of cardio-and cerebrovascular events during treatment were measured and compared between two groups.Results: Compared with before treatment, after treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and significant rise in level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in statin group(P<0.01 all).Compared with routine treatment group after treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of TG [(2.13±0.37) mmol/L vs.(1.74±0.41) mmol/L], TC [(5.38±0.45) mmol/L vs.(4.34±0.73) mmol/L] and LDL-C [(3.63±0.72) mmol/L vs.(2.55±0.61) mmol/L], and significant rise in HDL-C level [(0.95±0.31)mmol/L vs.(1.34±0.35)mmol/L] in statin group, P<0.01 all.During one-year treatment, incidence rate of cardio-and cerebrovascular events in statin group was significantly lower than that of routine treatment group (18.18% vs.56.67%), P=0.002.Conclusion: Statins could effectively correct abnormal lipid metabolism and reduce risk of cardio-and cerebrovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated atherosclerosis cardiovascular diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the relationship among advancod aged hypertension,unstable angina pectoris (UAP)and high homocysteine (Hcy)level.Methods:A total of 208 advanced aged patients with hypertension and angina pectoris,who were diagnosed and treated in our department of cardiology,were divided into H-type hyper-tension group (n=102)and general hypertension group (n=106).Each group was further divided into UAP sub-group and stable angina pectoris (SAP)subgroup.Levels of Hcy,blood glucose,total cholesterol (TC),high densi-ty lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)and triglyceride (TG)were measured;Gensini scoring system was used to score extent of coronary artery lesion in these patients.Results:Compared with general hypertension group,there were significant rise in incidence rate of UAP (25.47% vs.46.08%)and Gensini score [(30.2±15.6)scores vs.(46.1 ±18.7)scores]in H-type hypertension group,P <0.05;in H-type hypertension group,Hcy level in UAP subgroup was significantly higher than that of SAP subgroup [(22.8±7.2)μmol/L vs.(13.1±2.7)μmol/L],and percent-age of paitents with high Hcy level in UAP group was significantly higher than that of SAP group,P <0.05 all;in general hypertension group,compared with SAP group,there were significant rise in levels of Hcy [(7.1 ± 1.5)μmol/L vs.(9.2±2.8)μmol/L]in UAP group,P <0.05 ;Logistic regression analysis indicated that for advanced aged UAP patients,Hcy is an independent risk factor of UAP (OR=1.9,95%CI:1.1~3.0,P =0.03).Conclu-sion:UAP incidence rate of H-type hypertension patients significantly rises than that of general hypertension pa-tients,Hcy is an independent risk factor of UAP.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To detect the infectious condition of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and to explore the effect of HCMV infection on Treg cells in CAD patieuts. Methods: A total of 86 CAD patients treated in our hospital from 2012-04 to 2014-05 were studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups:Angina Pectoris (AP) group, n=46 and Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group, n=40. In addition, there was a Control group with 80 healthy subjects. The Treg cell amount was detected by lfow cytometry analysis, the expression levels of HCMV and IL-10, IL-6, TNF-αwere examined by ELISA. Results: The positive rate of HCMV infection was higher in CAD group than that in Control group as 72.1%vs 27.5%, P Conclusion: CAD patients had the higher positive rate of HCMV infection, which may inhibit Treg cell production and then, involved in CAD occurrence and development.
