ABSTRACT

Objective · To observe the changes in peripheral blood CD14dimCD16+ monocyte count and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and analyze the relationship between these changes and the cardiac function of patients. Methods · 42 elderly patients with CHF (the CHF group, consisting of 18 cases of NYHA cardiac function grade Ⅱ , 18 cases of NYHA cardiac function grade Ⅲ , and 6 cases of NYHA cardiac function grade Ⅳ) and 25 healthy elderly people (the control group) were enrolled. Peripheral blood CD14dimCD16+ monocyte count, serum CRP level, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) were measured and statistical analysis was performed. Results · CD14dimCD16+ monocyte count and serum CRP level were significantly higher in the CHF group than in the control group (P<0.05). In the CHF group, the CD14dimCD16+ monocyte count, serum CRP level, and LVEDD of NYHA grade Ⅳ patients were significantly higher than those of NYHA grade Ⅱ patients, while their LVEF was remarkably lower than that of NYHA grade Ⅱ patients. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Correlation analysis results showed that peripheral blood CD14dim CD16+ monocyte count and serum CRP level were positively correlated with LVEDD (r =0.37, r =0.45, P<0.05) and negatively correlated with LVEF (r =-0.56, r =-0.33, P<0.05) in the CHF group. Conclusion · The deterioration of elderly patients with CHF is associated with inflammation and the monocyte dysfunction may exist in the heart failure process. Peripheral blood CD14dim CD16+ monocyte count and serum CRP level are expected to be novel biomarkers that can reflect the severity of heart failure.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of whole grain-bean mixed staple food on intestinal microecology,anthropometric,and metabolic parameters of obese people.Methods Totally 87 obese people were divided with random number table into whole grain-bean mixed staple food group (test group) and refined grains staple food group (control group).Body weight (BW),body mass index (BMI),waist circumference (WC),hip circumference (HC),waist/hip ratio (WHR),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),and colony count of intestinal flora (bacillus bifidus,lactobacillus,clostridium perfringens,enterobacteria,enterococcus,bacteroides) were measured at baseline and 3 months after intervention.Results Ten people were excluded from this research,6 in the test group and 4 in the control group.Mter 3 months of dietary intervention,BW,BMI,WC,HC,and WHR were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group [(69.45 ± 7.07) kgvs.(72.42 ±5.79) kg,P=0.000; (26.08 ±1.48) kg/m2 vs.(27.27 ±0.81) kg/m2,P=0.000; (82.48±9.30) cm vs.(86.96±4.93) cm,P =0.000; (90.08 ±6.57) cm vs.(92.42 ±6.67) cm,P =0.000; 0.92 ±0.11vs.0.95 ±0.10,P =0.003].The levels of FPG,TC,and LDL-C in the test group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(4.92 ± 0.75) mmoL/L vs.(5.41 ± 1.21) mmoL/L,P=0.037; (3.85±1.13) mmoL/L vs.(4.38 ±1.26) mmoL/L,P=0.046; (3.55 ±1.04) mmoL/L vs.(4.16 ± 1.40) rnmoL/L,P =0.033] ; the level of HDL-C in the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(1.13 ± 0.37) mmoL/L vs.(0.92 ± 0.26) mmoL/L,P =0.004].The colony counts of intestinal bacillus bifidus,lactobacillus,and bacteroides in the test group were significantly higher than in the control group [(7.94 ± 0.58) lg CFU/g vs.(6.95 ± 0.38) lg CFU/g,P =0.000 ; (7.67 ± 0.46) lg CFU/g vs.(6.96 ± 0.57) lg CFU/g,P =0.000 ; (5.53 ± 0.44) lg CFU/g vs.(4.80 ±0.23) lg CFU/g,P =0.000],while the colony count of clostridium perfringens was significantly lower than in the control group [(4.40 ± 0.49) lg CFU/g vs.(5.11 ± 0.63) lg CFU/g,P =0.000].Conclusions In obese people,whole grain-bean mixed staple food can improve anthropometric parameters,some lipid metabolic parameters,and intestinal flora.The underlying mechanism may involve promoting the survival and proliferation of probiotics,thereby improving glucose and lipid metabolism.
