ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of salvianolate injection on blood levels of high sensitively C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods The elderly patients with AMI (AMI group,n=160) and healthy controls (control group.n=30) were enrolled in this study and their blood concentrations of PAPP A,hs CRP and BNP were detected before and two weeks after treatment.The elderly patients in AMI group were randomized into conventional treatment group (n =80) and salvianolate group (n =80).Results The levels of PAPP-A,hs-CRP and BNP were significantly higher in AMI patients [(12.88±2.56) mg/L,(20.13 ±5.35) mU/L,(412.0±69.5) ng/L,respectively] than in healthy subjects[(1.20±0.88) mg/L,(1.90±0.46) mU/L,(89.0±5.6) ng/L,respectively] (t=24.670,3.780,11.939,respectively,P ＜0.01).But,before treatment there were no significant differences in the levels of PAPP-A,hs-CRP and BNP between the AMI group and control group (t=0.864,0.712,0.985,all P＞0.05).After two weeks of treatment,as compared with control group,AMI group showed that the serum concentrations of PAPP-A,hs-CRP and BNP were decreased significantly (P＜0.05).The levels of PAPP A,hs-CRP and BNP were (3.83±1.20) mg/L,(1.33±0.38) mU/L,(105.0±31.2) ng/L in salvianolate group and (5.71± 1.93) mg/L,(1.81±0.72) mU/L,(150.0±36.7) ng/L in conventional treatment group respectively,and the decrements in levels of PAPP-A,hs CRP and BNP were greater in the former than in the latter(t=7.399,5.273,8.356,respectively,all P＜0.05).Conclusions The dynamic serum concentrations of PAPP-A,hs CRP and BNP can be used as clinical indexes for the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction.Salvianolate injection can significantly decrease the serum levels of PAPP A,hs CRP and BNP.The salvianolate injection may have anti inflammatory effect and improve cardiac function in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction,but the mechanism is still to be further discussed.
ABSTRACT
It is crucial for the medical staff to build up mutual trust with patients by their credible attitude and behavior.As core competitiveness of the hospital,the fame of credibility is important to the development of building a harmonious hospital.Only by constructing the hospital's credibility system,integrating the principle of commitment to credibility into the hospital culture,making medical staff work according to this principle,and guiding the harmonious development of a hospital by the credibility culture,can make the hospital management achieve the ultimate goal and reach a satisfying state.
