ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation method(益气活血法) for critically ill patients.Methods: Ninety critically ill patients with(Qi-deficiency)(气虚) and blood stasis(血瘀) syndromes who diagnosed according to standard in a book named clinical diagnosis and treatment nomenclature of traditional Chinese medicine were randomly divided into the the treatment group(n=60) and the control group(n=30).The general therapy of the two groups was the same.Additionlly,the treatment group was administered Shenmai injection(丹参注射液) and Danshen power(丹参粉针剂),15 days were as one therapeutic course.Results: In the treatment group,the total effective rate of clinical therapeutic effects was 85.00 %;before and after treatment,traditional Chinese medical scores was 38.63?9.08 vs.24.27?7.43,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) 18.11?4.54 vs.12.47?1.64,platelet(PLT) count(198.00?54.16)?10~9/L vs.(174.00?40.82)?10~9/L,(haematocrit)(HCT) 0.340?0.049 vs.0.440?0.057,mean cell hemoglobin(MCH)(34.00?3.10)pg(vs.(31.00?1.83) pg).The differences of above parameters were significant between the two groups,and they were superior in the treatment group to those in the control group(all P
ABSTRACT
Aim ① To observe the relationship between TGF?_1 and diabetic nephropathy in experimental rats;② To explore the effects of ACEI-fosinopril and ATRA-losartan on renal TGF?_1 in diabetic rats and their renoprotective mechanism. Method Four groups of rats were studied, A group:normal control rats;B group: strephtozotocin induced diabetic rats;C group:diabetic rats treated with fosinopril;D group: diabetic rats treated with losartan.Blood glucose, urinary excretion rates of albumin, TGF?_1,as well as the expressions of TGF?_1 protein and TGF?_1 mRNA in renal cortex and the relative kidney were measured. Result ① The urinary excretion rates of albumin and TGF?_1 in B,C ,D groups were significant higher than those in A group, fosinopril and losartan can decrease the urinary excretion rates of the two proteins but can’t make the rate normal. ② The expressions of TGF?_1 protein in renal cortex in B group was much higher than that in other 3 groups, fosinopril and losartan can inhibit the expression of TGF?_1. ③ The expressions of TGF?_1 mRNA in renal cortex increased greatest in B group, fosinopril and losartan can low the expression. Conclusion The overexpression of TGF?_1 protein and mRNA in renal cortex of diabetic rats may be one of the mechanisms of diabetic nephropathy. Fosinopril and losartan can suppress the expressions of TGF?_1 protein and mRNA in renal cortex, decrease the urinary excretion rates of TGF?_1. So alleviate the patholochanges in kidney.
