ABSTRACT
@#This study aims to discuss the therapeutic effect of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate on hepatitis B virus(HBV)transgenic mouse and its effect on cellular immunity and liver inflammation. The changes of serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)activity, the difference of serum hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg), liver tissue HBsAg mRNA, and the pathological morphological changes of liver tissue were detected to investigate the hepatic inflammatory lesions and the efficacy of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate in HBV transgenic mouse. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were classified by flow cytometry, and serum cytokines were detected by cytometric bead array(CBA)to explore the mechanism of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate to reduce hepatic inflammatory lesions in HBV transgenic mouse. After grouping HBV transgenic mouse with serum transaminase activity and 35 days of continuous administration, serum transaminases level in magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate ［15 mg/(kg ·d)］ group was significantly lower than that in control group(P< 0. 05), serum HBsAg protein and liver tissue HBsAg mRNA increased with time, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. The main pathological changes of liver were liver cell swelling, necrosis and focal inflammatory cell infiltration, and the pathological changes of liver in magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group were lighter than those in control group. The number of CD8+ cells in the blood of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group was significantly less than that in the control group(P< 0. 05)and the CD4+/CD8+ cell ratio was significantly higher than that in the control group(P< 0. 05). The content of inflammatory cytokines in serum of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group decreased significantly(P< 0. 05). Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate can regulate the immune function of HBV transgenic mouse, decrease the infiltration of inflammatory cells in hepatic tissue and hepatocyte injury, but do not affect the expression of hepatocyte HBsAg.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the application of the ratio of early diastolic peak velocity of mitral valve(E) and early diastolic peak velocity of mitral annular(Ea) on evaluating left ventricuiar diastolic function in patients with chronic heart failure.MethodsLeft atrial diameter(LAD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd),interventricular septal thickness (IVST),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),E and late diastolic peak speed of mitral valve (A) of 30 patients with diastolic heart failure(DHF,DHF group),30 patients with systolic heart failure(SHF,SHF group) and 30 healthy persons (control group) were detected by conventional echocardiography.E/A ratio and E-wave deceleration time (DT) were calculated.Early diastolic peak velocity of longitudinal septal and left ventricular lateral part of mitral annulus (Esep,Elat) were measured by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI).Ea and E/Ea ratio were calculated as well as the relevant analysis was made.Results ( 1 ) LAD and IVST in DHF group were significantly higher than those in control group [(44.90±8.31) mm vs.(30.87±3.48) mm,(9.43±2.18) nn vs.(8.17 ± 1.12)mm,P＜0.05].LVEDd in SHF group was obviously higher than that in control group and DHF group [(66.30 ± 10.21) mm vs.(44.77 ± 4.17) mm,(48.60 ± 8.85) mm,P＜0.05],and LVEF and DT were significantly lower than those in control group and DHF group(P ＜ 0.05 ).(2) Esep,Elat and Ea in DHF and SHF group were significantly lower than those in control group( P ＜ 0.01 ),and E/Esep,E/Elat and E/Ea ratios were obviously higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.01 ).( 3 ) The level of B type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in DHF and SHF group was significantly higher than that in control group [(477.73 ± 722.76),(978.60 ± 825.04) ng/L vs.(29.23 ± 17.84) ng/L,P ＜ 0.05 ].The level of BNP in SHF group was significantly higher than that in DHF group (P＜0.05 ).(4) Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that NYHA classification and BNP were correlated with E/Ea ratio (P ＜ 0.05).(5) The area under curve (AUC) of E/Ea in diagnosing chronic heart failure was 0.984 (95％ CI:0.000-1.000).AUC of E/Ea in identifying DHF and SHF was 0.857(95％ CI:0.773-0.940).The sensitivity and specificity of E/Ea were much higher than those of E/A.Conclusions Chronic left ventricular systolic insufficiency is commonly combined with different-degree diastolic dysfunction.The evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function can be more simple and accurate combined with pulse wave Doppler and TDI.
