Effects of different doses of atorvastatin on blood lipid level and endothelial function in patients with hypertension and carotid plaque / 中国基层医药

Objective:To compare the effects of different doses of atorvastatin on blood lipid and endothelial function in patients with hypertension and carotid plaque.Methods:Ninety-two patients with hypertension and carotid plaque who received treatment from June 2019 to June 2020 were included in this study. They were assigned to receive treatment with either atorvastatin 20 mg (control group, n = 46) or atorvastatin 40 mg (study group, n = 46) for 3 months. Blood lipid level and endothelial function were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in sex, age, course of disease, body mass index (BMI) and carotid plaque grading between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) between two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in each group were significantly decreased compared with before treatment [study group: TC: (5.8 ± 2.3) mmol/L vs. (3.5 ± 1.3) mmol/L, t = 5.904; TG: (2.5 ± 0.8) mmol/L vs. (1.2 ± 0.5) mmol/L, t = 9.346; LDL-C: (5.0 ± 0.4) mmol/L vs. (3.3 ± 0.4) mmol/L, t = 20.382; control group: TC: (5.9 ± 1.8) mmol/L vs. (4.5 ± 1.5) mmol/L, t = 4.052; TG: (2.6 ± 0.3) mmol/L vs. (1.8 ± 0.7) mmol/L, t = 7.125; LDL-C: (4.9 ± 0.5) mmol/L vs. (4.2 ± 0.5) mmol/L, t = 6.714, all P < 0.01). After treatment, serum level of HDL-C in each group was significantly increased compared with before treatment [study group: (0.8 ± 0.5) mmol/L vs. (1.5 ± 0.3) mmol/L, t = 8.142; control group: (0.8 ± 0.4) mmol/L vs. (1.3 ± 0.2) mmol/ L, t = 7.583, both P < 0.01]. After treatment, serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( tTC = 3.417, tTG = 4.731, tLDL-C = 9.533, all P < 0.01). After treatment, serum level of HDL-C in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( tHDL-C = 3.762, P < 0.01). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in endothelium-dependent (flow mediated dilation, FMD) and endothelium-independent diastolic function (nitroglycerin- mediated dilatation, NMD) between the two groups (both P > 0.05). After treatment, FMD in each group was significantly enhanced compared with before treatment [study group: (7.5 ± 1.8) % vs. (10.9 ± 2.5) %, t = 7.486; control group: (7.7 ± 1.5) % vs. (8.9 ± 2.2) %, t = 3.057; both P < 0.05]. After treatment, FMD in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 4.073, P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in NMD between before and after treatment in the control group. After treatment, NMD in the study group was significantly increased compared with before treatment [(12.5 ± 2.3) % vs. (13.6 ± 2.5) %, t = 2.196, P = 0.031]. Conclusion:Atorvastatin 40 mg once a day can effectively regulate blood lipid level and improve endothelial function in patients with hypertension and carotid plaque, which exhibits superior effects to atorvastatin 20 mg once a day.

Relationship between serum levels of sTWEAK, BNP, MMP-1 and left ventricular remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy / 中国基层医药

Objective:To explore the relationship between the levels of serum sTWEAK, BNP, MMP-1 and left ventricular remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods:From November 2018 to November 2019, 106 DCM patients admitted to Army No.72 Group Military′s Hospital were selected as DCM group, and 70 non-DCM peoplewho received physical examination at the same time were selected as control group.The serum levels of sTWEAK, BNP and MMP-1 were measured respectively, and LVEDD, LVEF and LVMI were measured by echocardiography.Pearson correlation analysis was carried out on the relationship between serological indicators and left ventricular remodeling.Results:There were statistically significant differences between the DCM group and the control group in ultrasonic index, serum sTWEAK, BNP and MMP-1 levels( F=1 447.751, 208.642, 147.46, 55.742, 319.916, 205.741, all P<0.05). Compared with the DCM group with heart function grade Ⅱ, the levels of LVEDd, LVMI, BNP, MMP-1 were higher and LVEF was lower in the DCM group with heart function grade Ⅲ( t=17.702, 19.308, 7.279, 24.511, 5.129, all P<0.05). The serum sTWEAK was negatively correlated with LVEDD and LVMI( r=-0.221, -0.462, all P<0.05), and positively correlated with LVEF( r=0.490, P<0.05). The BNP level was positively correlated with LVEDd and LVMI( r=0.667, 0.483, all P<0.05). The MMP-1 was positively correlated with LVEDd and LVMI( r=0.756, 0.562, all P<0.05). The BNP and MMP-1 were negatively correlated with LVEF( r=-0.476, -0.404, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The serum level of sTWEAK decreased in DCM patients, while BNP and MMP-1 increased in DCM patients.All three indicators can reflect the severity of left ventricular remodeling.

Virtual Screening of Histone Deacetylase Receptor Inhibitor among Lignanoid Compounds / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To virtually screen lignanoid compounds with inhibitory effect of histone deacetylase(HDAC)by vir-tual screening method. METHODS:Using“lignanoid”as keyword,requiring CNKI,VIP,PubMed and other database,lignanoid compounds were collected as ligand to establish ligand base, histone deacetylase receptor HDAC2 (PDB code:4LXZ) and HDAC8 (PDB code:1T69) were selected from PDB database,and then ligands and 3D active site of receptors were docked by SYBYL-X 2.0 software. The affinity of receptors to ligand was reflected by total score. RESULTS:345 lignanoid compounds, 4LXZ and 1T69 primary ligand were used to establish ligand base which included 347 ligands. Ligands No.275,271,110,200, 056,258,181,129,037,270,187 were demonstrated good affinity with receptors HDAC2 and HDAC8. Ligands and receptors residue were docked via hydrogen bond. CONCLUSIONS:Lignanoid compounds have inhibitory effect on HDAC;virtual screen-ing method is effective in natural product activity prediction,which can provide quick access to and theoretical guidance for new pharmacological studies of lignanoid compounds.
