ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the changes of plasma adrenomedullin(ADM) and endothelin-1(ET-1),angiotension Ⅱ(Ang-Ⅱ) levels and their clinical significance in the patients with elderly hypertension(HPE).Methods The plasma levels of ADM and ET-1,Ang-Ⅱ were measured by radioimmunoassay in 136 patients with HPE compared with that of in 40 casers of health elders.Results The plasma levels of ADM and ET-1,Ang-Ⅱ were increased significantly in HPE compared with health elders(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of plasma adrenomedullin(ADM) and C-type natriuretic peptide(CNP) levels with elderly hypertension(HPE).Methods The plasma levels of ADM and CNP were measured by radioimmunoassay in 136 cases of the HPE(group A) compared with that of in 40 cases healthy elders(group B).Results The plasma levelsof ADM and CNP increased significantly in group A compared with group B(P
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo observe effects of early rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments on stroke patients.Methods80 patients were randomly divided into rehabilitation group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases). Patients in rehabilitation group were treated with rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments; patients in control group were treated only with hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The activities of daily living (ADL) were assessed by modified Barthel index (MBI), and the cognition function was measured by mimi-mental state examination (MMSE).ResultsAfter treatment the scores of MMSE and MBI of two groups increased (P<0.05) and scores of rehabilitation group were higher than that of control group (P<0.05); the process of scores in rehabibilitation group were obviously superior to that in control group (P<0.001).ConclusionEarly rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments can obviously improve cognition function and ADL of stroke patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the serum C-reactive protein(CRP) concentrations in elder patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) and the change of serum CRP concentrations in patients with CHD treated with aspirin.Methods Ninety elder patients with CHD were administered aspirin at the dose of 100mg/d(CHD1 group),150mg/d(CHD2 group),200mg/d(CHD3 group).Normal subjects were selected as control(control group),there were thirty subjects in each group.The detected parameters included serum CRP concentrations for 0 and 12 weeks.Results CRP concentration in patients with coronary heart disease was significantly higher than that of the normal subjects(P
