ABSTRACT
Hypertension with high serum Homocysteine (Hcy) significantly increases the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, which is defined as H-Type Hypertension by Chinese scholars. Plenty of researches have confirmed that high prevalence of H-Type Hypertension in Chinese population is now the big public problem in China. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)treatment shows the advantages in integral regulation, less side effect, and anti-Hcy effect in hypertension. This paper discussed the prevalence, TCM syndrome and TCM treatment progress in H-Type Hypertension to provide some ideas and references for the intervention of H-Type Hypertension by TCM.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of fasting blood glucose (FBG) in the diagnosis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) caused by pulmonary infection in elderly patients with diabetes. Methods Patients over 65 years old with diabetic pulmonary infection admitted to Department of Cadres Ward of Bethune International Peace Hospital of PLA from July 2015 to December 2016 were enrolled. According to the patient's highest FBG level during pulmonary infection, all patients were divided in two groups. The cases whose FBG ≥8.83 mmol/L were served as suspicious multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in the elderly (MODSE) group, and those had FBG < 8.83 mmol/L were served as suspicious non-MODSE group. The incidence of MODSE in suspicious MODSE group and suspicious non-MODSE group was compared. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn, and the clinical value of highest FBG in the diagnosis of MODSE caused by pulmonary infection in elderly patients with diabetes was assessed. Results 119 elderly patients with diabetes and pulmonary infection were enrolled in the analysis. All patients were male, with age of 76-105 years with an average of (89.41±4.16) years. Among 119 patients, 55 of them with suspected MODSE, 64 of them with suspected non-MODSE. The incidence of MODSE in suspicious MODSE group was significantly higher than that in suspicious non-MODSE group (78.2% vs. 12.5%), with statistically significant difference (χ2 = 52.108, P = 0.000). The area under the ROC curve of the highest FBG for diagnosis of MODSE was 0.895, and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.839-0.951 (P < 0.001). When using FBG ≥ 8.83 mmol/L to diagnose MODSE induced by pulmonary infection in elderly patients with diabetes, the sensitivity was 84.3% and the specificity was 82.4%. Conclusion FBG ≥ 8.83 mmol/L, as an indicator reflecting the changes of metabolic function, have a diagnostic value for MODSE caused by pulmonary infection in elderly patients with diabetes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the prediction value of the early prediction score system of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in the elderly (MODSE). Method A total of 393 patients with pulmonary infection, who were above60 years old, were divided into non MODSE(n =224) and MODSE group(n = 169) and were scored by the early prediction score system of MODSE. Independent-samples t Test was used to analyze the difference of forecast score between MODSE and non MODSE group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn,and the area under the curve was calculated. The prediction accuracy of scores for MODSE was assessed using sen-sitivity and specificity, and the optimal forecast point for MODSE was found. Results The score of MODSE group was higber than that of non MODSE[(19.38±12.049) vs. (45.78±20.257), P <0.001]. The area under the ROC curve was 0.889 (P <0.001) ond 95% (0.857～0.920). As the value of forecast score was 27.5, the sensitivity of the early prediction score system of MODSE was 82.8 %, the specificity of the early prediction score system of MODSE was 80.3 %. Conclusions The early prediction score system of MODSE is valuable in predic-tion of MODSE, which may be used to forecast MODSE and find the high risk population of MODSE.
ABSTRACT
@#Post-menopause hypertension in female is the appearance of elevation of blood pressure in one year after menopause.It will always bring obesity,blood lipid abnormality,disorders of carbohydrate metabolism,elevation of insulin's leave,elevation of sympathetic nerve's irritability,and so on by the hormone leave and other reason,which has caused wide public concern as one of the reason of coronary heart disease(CHD).The possible pathogenesis of female hypertension is complicated and many factors.These disorders may include decrease of estrogen,overfull pituitrin,putting on weight,composite factors and others unknown neurohumoral factors.During the treatment of high blood pressure,considering the diversity of post-menopause female,it need take concrete illness into account to choose reducing the pressure drug.There are many experiments to approve applied hormone replacement therapy(CRT),but it is still incertitude on post-menopause hypertensive female sufferer.At the same time,hypertension is not the contraindication in application of HRT.It need more advanced stochastic clinical experimentation to prove whether CHD female could benefit from HRT application.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo explore the pathological effect of Anti-stenosis No.1 which had effect of vivid Qi and promoting blood flow,eliminate sputum and circulating collaterals on restenosis after carotid artery angioplasty in experimental rats.Methods48 rats were randomly divided into the blank group,the hyperlipid group,the small-dose group and the large-dose group.Restenosis model in carotid artery after angioplasty was built by high-dose cholesterol diet and three times balloon injury.Chinese herbs were administered for three months.Lumen area,intimal area,media area and intimal area/media area in the restenosis region were calculated.ResultsLumen area and intimal area were very more significantly changed in the hyperlipid group,the small-dose group,and the large-dose group compared to the blank group(P<0.01).Media area and intimal area/media area were very more significantly changed in the hyperlipid group and the small-dose group compared to the blank group(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the large-dose group.Compared to hyperlipid group,lumen area significantly increased in the large-dose group(P<0.01)),intimal area significantly decreased in the small-and large-dose groups(P<0.05),and media area significantly decreased in the large-dose group(P<0.01).There was a significant difference in media area between the small-and large-dose groups(P<0.05).ConclusionAnti-stenosis No.1 can significantly inhibit restenosis by inhibiting intimal and media hyperplasty,and the effect is dose dependent.
