ABSTRACT
Objective To study the curative effect of MMP-9 changes on left ventricular hypertrophy patients with hypertension heart disease by carvedilol and metoprolol.Methods 168 cases were divided into two groups.The control group(84 cases)applied metoprolol.The observation group applied carvedilol.The changes of IVST,LVPWT, LVMI and LVGI,expression of MMP-9 were observed in two groups after treatment.Results The values of IVST, LVPWT,LVMI and LVGI,expression of MMP-9 were decreased after treatment.But the decreased values of IVST [(1.72 ±0.35 )mm vs (0.36 ±0.11 )mm,t =5.75,P <0.05 ],LVPWT[(0.66 ±0.25 )mm vs (0.24 ± 0.18)mm,t =4.32,P <0.05],LVMI[(16.23 ±3.35)g/m2 vs (7.44 ±2.24)g/m2 ,t =9.86,P <0.05 ],LVGI [(0.52 ±0.12)g/m2 vs (0.40 ±0.11)g/m2 ,t =4.24,P <0.05],MMP-9[(76.23 ±20.87)vs(42.55 ±10.87),t =6.54,P <0.05]were higher in the observation group than in the control group.Conclusion The treatment of carvedilol is satisfied,can improve ventricular remodeling,decreased the expression of MMP-9,and is worthy of being recommended in left ventricular hypertrophy patients with hypertension heart disease.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the factors related with relapse of patients with schizophrenia, and to assess the effect of management on this population. Methods 368 patients who were first episode and hospitalization in 2007 were recruited, and investigated with the Live Events Scale (LES), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). They were divided into control group (only antipsychotic treatment, n=184) and management group (severe mental illness management, n=184) and accepted the management for 5 years. Results The single factor regression showed that age, marriage and family history were not related with schizophrenia relapse (P>0.05). Gender, duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) and negative life events were risk factors of relapse (P<0.05); Education, medication adherence and social support were protective factors of relapse (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that medication adherence, social support and negative life events were the main factors related with relapse (P<0.05). The rate of relapse was lower in the management group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Medication adherence, social support and negative life events are the main factors related with relapse. Management on the schizophrenia is one of the most important ways to reduce schizophrenia relapse.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To explore the effects of joint synovial fluid on tendon-bone healing of reconstructed ligament. [Methods]Forty female New Zealand rabbits,aged 6 months,weight 2.5~3.5 kg,were divided into 4 groups randomly.Transfer of semitendinosus tendon to the bone tunnels was performed to make bone-tendon healing model,on the right knee the bone tunnel was not communicated to the joint cavity,in contrast,the bone tunnel on the left knee was connected with synovial fluid.Animals in one group were killed at 8 weeks after operation,bone-tendon healing samples were harvested for biomechanical test.Animals in other three groups were killed at 2,4 and 8 weeks after operation respectively to harvest the samples for histological observation.HE and Masson staining were conducted to examinant histological change.[Results]At 2 weeks after operation,there was no significant difference between non joint synovial fluid group and joint synovial fluid group in bone-tendon interface healing,which were filled with granulation tissue.At 4 weeks postoperatively,interface healing in non joint synovial fluid group was obvious better than that in joint synovial fluid group.Fibroblast cells and cartilage cells increased obviously,and collagen fibers synthesized.At 8 weeks after operation,tendon-bone interface in joint synovial fluid group was filled with connective tissue,the collagen fibers arranged disorderly.In contrast,more compact collagen fibers were seen in non joint synovial fluid group.Interface cell accounts in non joint synovial fluid group were superior to that in joint synovial fluid group at 2,4,8 weeks after operation (P
