ABSTRACT
Individuals and populations affected by Yunnan unexplained sudden death have different causes, so different research methods and control strategies should be adopted for these two different causes. By reviewing relevant research literature on Yunnan unexplained sudden death, we reinterpret some characteristics of the disease from the perspective of population medicine. At the same time, it is found that some studies have shown that residents in areas where sudden death occurs have a higher proportion of myocardial damage compared to control areas, making them a population with basic sickness. Population medicine methods can be used to conduct etiology research and disease prevention and control.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of compound Danshen dripping pills on the expression levels of micro RNA-1 (miR-1) and inflammatory factors in serum of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 180 AMI patients admitted to Mindong Hospital of Ningde City from March 2017 to October 2018 were divided into a compound Danshen dripping pills group and a conventional western medicine treatment group, 90 cases in each group. According to the disease situations of all the patients, they needed to undergo PCI treatment, after the intervention, in the conventional western medicine treatment group, aspirin enteric-coated tablet (metformin hydrochlorid) was given as the basic anti-coagulation medicine and in the compound Danshen dripping pill group, on the basic treatment, 10 Danshenn pills each time, 3 times a day, were orally applied. Both groups were evaluated for efficacy after 2 months of continuous treatment. Echocardiography was used to detect the patients' cardiac functions; the changes of the expression levels of serum miR-1, interleukins (IL-1, IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and myocardial troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) in the two groups before and after treatment were observed. Results After treatment in both groups, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac output index (CI) were significantly higher than those before treatment, while the expression of miR-1 and serum IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, cTnI and CK-MB were lower than those before treatment, the LVEF and CI in the compound Danshen dripping pill treatment group were obviously higher than those in the conventional western medicine treatment group [LVEF: 0.60±0.08 vs. 0.56±0.08, CI (L·min-1·m-2): 6.02±0.34 vs. 4.91±1.50, both P < 0.05], the expression level of miR-1 and serum IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, cTnI and CK-MB in the compound Danshen dripping pill group were lower than those in the conventional western medicine treatment group [miR-1 (2-ΔΔCt): 0.69±0.17 vs. 0.85±0.22, IL-1 (μg/L): 59.20±18.67 vs. 68.31±23.69, IL-6 (μg/L): 20.36±1.87 vs. 25.38±2.39, TNF-α (μg/L): 28.65±1.63 vs. 31.86±2.92, cTnI (μg/L):3.12±0.88 vs. 4.03±0.97, CK-MB (U/L): 29.18±10.52 vs. 34.28±10.21, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion Compound Danshen dripping pills can reduce serum the expression levels of miR-1 and inflammatory cytokines in patients with AMI after PCI.
