ABSTRACT

Iron overload cardiomyopathy (IOC) is a type of cardiac dysfunction caused by several factors resulting in iron overload in the myocardium. Two major causes of IOC include hereditary hemochromatosis and transfusion-dependent anemia. IOC significantly reduces long-term survival of patients. Since IOC is a rare disease in Asian populations that also lacks etiology-specific manifestations, early diagnoses in clinical practice are challenging. Two groups of patients with high risk of IOC should be further investigated: those who present heart failure of unknown origin will be screened for iron overload followed by confirmation of IOC; and those who have high risk of iron overload or an established diagnosis will be monitored for the development of IOC. Serum ferritin is recommended as the first-line screening test for iron overload, while cardiac magnetic resonance T2* should be used to confirm iron overload in the myocardium. Phlebotomy and iron chelating agents can effectively remove the extra iron from the body, preventing IOC, as well as reverse the disease at an early stage and slow down its progession. Timely diagnosis and treatment is critical in improving the prognosis of patients with IOC. Therefore, this review aims to help clinicians to understand IOC in multiple dimensions including pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and treatment choices.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the protective effect of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwutang combined with Shengmaiyin on the heart function in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy and explore its anti-myocardial fibrosis and anti-inflammatory effects. Method:The 96 patients were randomly divided into observation group (48 cases) and control group (48 cases). Both groups were given comprehensive measures to control blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure and heart failure. Patients in control group took Tongmai Jiangtang capsule, 3 granules/time, 3 times/day. Patients in observation group took Huangqi Guizhi Wuwutang combined with modified Shengmaiyin, 1 dose/day. The treatment courses were three months in both groups. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), early diastolic peak velocity E peak/late diastolic peak velocity A peak (E/A), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd) and cardiac output per stroke (SV) through echocardiography were recorded before and after therapy. Cardiac troponin-I (cTn I), troponin T (cTn-T), creatine kinase isoenzyme -MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), transforming growth factor-<italic>β</italic><sub>1</sub> (TGF-<italic>β</italic><sub>1</sub>) before and after treatment , matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1, tumor necrosis factor-<italic>α</italic> (TNF-<italic>α</italic>), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), soluble ST2 (sST2) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels were detected. Symptom of cardiac insufficiency and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score were evaluated before and after treatment. Result:The LVEF and E/A data in observation group were higher than those in control group (<italic>P</italic><0.01). The levels of cTn-I, cTn-T, LDH and CK-MB in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (<italic>P</italic><0.01). After treatment, the levels of TGF-<italic>β</italic><sub>1</sub>, MMP-2, IGF-1, IL-6, IL-1, TNF-<italic>α</italic>, NT-proBNP, sST2 and Gal-3 in the observation group decreased and were lower than those in the control group (<italic>P</italic><0.01). The clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group (<italic>Z</italic>=1.974,<italic>P</italic><0.05). Conclusion:On the basis of conventional intervention of western medicine, Huangqi Guizhi Wuwutang combined with modified Shengmaiyin has anti-inflammatory and anti-myocardial fibrosis effects, with inhibitory effect on myocardial remodeling, and can reduce myocardial tissue damage to improve ventricular diastolic function and protect heart function. With such high clinical efficacy, it is worthy of clinical use.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>About 50% of the cerebral ischemia events are induced by intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy for displaying atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries and analyzing their ingredients by using high-resolution new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally, 49 patients suspected of extracranial carotid artery stenosis were subjected to cranial MRI scan and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) examination on carotid arteries, and high-resolution bright-blood and black-blood MRI analysis was carried out within 1 week. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination was carried out for 16 patients within 1 month.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Totally, 103 plaques were detected in the 49 patients, which were characterized by localized or diffusive thickening of the vessel wall, with the intrusion of crescent-shaped abnormal signal into lumens. Fibrous cap was displayed as isointensity in T1-weighted image (T1WI) and hyperintensities in proton density weighted image (PDWI) and T2-weighted image (T2WI), lipid core was displayed as isointensity or slight hyperintensities in T1WI, isointensity, hyperintensities or hypointensity in PDWI, and hypointensity in T2WI. Calcification in plaques was detected in 11 patients. Eight patients were detected with irregular plaque surface or ulcerative plaques, which were characterized by irregular intravascular space surface in the black-blood sequences, black hypointensity band was not detected in three-dimensional time-of-flight, or the hypointensity band was not continuous, and intrusion of hyperintensities into plaques can be detected. Bright-blood and black-blood techniques were highly correlated with the diagnosis of contrast-enhanced MRA in angiostenosis degree, Rs = 0.97, P < 0.001. In comparison to DSA, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI diagnosis of stenosis for ≥50% were 88.9%, 100%, and 97.9%, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>High-resolution bright-blood and black-blood sequential MRI analysis can accurately analyze ingredients in atherosclerotic plaques. Determined by DSA, MRI diagnosis of stenosis can correctly evaluate the serious degree of arteriostenosis.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The microemboli produced during spontaneous plaque rupture and ulceration and during coronary intervention will reduce coronary reserve and cause cardiac dysfunction. It is though that inflammation caused by the microinfarction induced by the microembolization may play an essential role. It is known that the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in both infected and non-infected inflammation in myocardium may cause a contractile dysfunction. But the relation between the activation of p38 MAPK and microembolization is still unknown.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham group, coronary microembolization (CME) group and SB203580 group (n = 10 per group). CME rats were produced by injection of 42 µm microspheres into the left ventricle with occlusion of the ascending aorta. SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, was injected into the femoral vein after the injection of microspheres to make the SB203580 group. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was determined by echocardiography. The protein concentration of P38 MAPK in the myocardium was assessed by Western blotting. The relative expression of mRNA for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α was assessed by the technique of semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction amplification.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>LVEF was depressed at three hours up to 12 hours in the CME group. Increased p38 MAPK activity and TNF-α mRNA expression were observed in the CME group. The administration of SB203580 partly inhibited p38 MAPK activity, but did not fully depress the TNF-α expression, and partly preserved cardiac contractile function.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>p38 MAPK is significantly activated by CME and the inhibition of p38 MAPK can partly depress the TNF-α expression and preserve cardiac contractile function.</p>
