ABSTRACT
Statins have multiple anti lipid effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and anti arteriosclerosis, which are beneficial to improve cardiac function. Statins can effectively improve left ventricular remodeling and protect ventricular diastotic function. In this study, the effects of statin therapy on diastolic function and BNP level and exercise tolerance after exercise were observed by statins in patients with diastolic dysfunction. The results showed that after atorvastatin treatment, the exercise BNP decreased in the treatment group, which was significantly different from that before treatment and in the control group [P<0.05]. This study demonstrated that atorvastatin was used to treat patients with diastolic dysfunction and exercise hypertension ny lowering blood pressure and reducing exercise SBP, anti-inflammatory and improving vascular endothelial function
ABSTRACT
The therapeutic effect of statins on the stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques has been affirmed. In recent years, the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases [ MMPS] of tetracycline drug doxycycline has attracted more and more attention. In this paper, we observed the effect of atorvastatin and doxycycline on exercise tolerance in patients with stable angina pectoris. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy of the two groups and the effect on the exercise tolerance [P<0.05]. There were 4 cases of mild gastrointestinal reaction in the doxycycline group and no other serious adverse reactions. The total effective rate of treatment in the doxycycline group was 93.3%. Doxycycline treatment significantly reduced the frequency of angina pectoris and the incisence of cardiovascular events, and the treatment effect was better. To sum up, we think doxycycline is a safe, cheap, therapeutic drug to stabiliza plaque
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the hypothesis that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) ,kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1)and Interleukin-18(IL-18) are early biomarker for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery(CABG) .Methods 80 patients were recruited during September 2011 to May 2012 .The patients were divided into two groups according to the AKI criteria ,patients developed postoperative AKI in AKI group ;others did not postoperative developed AKI in non-AKI group .Before and 2 ,4 ,6 ,8 ,12 ,24 h after the CABG surgery ,the urine and serum sample were collected ,serum creatinine ,the urine and serum IL-18、NGAL、KIM-1 value were test by ELISA method .Results 13 of 80 cases(16 .25% )developed postoperative AKI according to the AKI criteria ,diagnosis with serum creatinine was only 12-48 h after cardiac surgery .Concen-trations of NGAL 、IL-18 in urine and serum at 2 h after CABG surgery ,concentrations of KIM-1 in urine and serum at 6 h were the powerful independent predictors of AKI by logistic regression analysis and ROC curve .Conclusion IL-18 in urine and serum at 2 h after CABG surgery were the powerful independent predictors of AKI ,and concentrations of KIM-1 in urine and serum at 6 h were the powerful independent predictors of AKI .Serous NGAL and IL-18 is better than urinary NGAL and IL-18 in diagnosis of AKI . Urinary KIM-1 was better than serous KIM-1 in diagnosis of AKI at 6 h .
ABSTRACT
According to the definition of professional morality in the employed and profession, the employed,service objects varied professions, three aspects must be grasped: the importance of medical technology must be understood fully, the study of evidence based laboratory medicine must be developed for patients; the responsibility for post must be enhanced to afford clinic correct directions. If these were carried out, the good respect and fondness for the medical technology profession should be trained.
