ABSTRACT
Accurate determination of biological activity is essential in quality control of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP). In previous study, we successfully developed a genetically modified cell line 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay for rhBNP. But ELISA procedure is still tedious, so this study was aimed to develop a rapid and simple bioassay for rhBNP using GloSensor technology, which provides a platform of flexible luciferase-based biosensors for real-time detection of signaling events in live cells, including cGMP production. A reporter cell line 293GCAGlo-G1 was constructed by transfecting pGloSensor?40 F plasmid into 293GCAC3. The reporter assay based on 293GCAGlo-G1 showed high precision with intra-assay CV being 8.3% and inter-assay CV being 14.1%; high accuracy with 80%, 100% and 120% recovery rate being 99.2%, 102.4% and 99.0% respectively; and great linearity with R2of linear fitting equation being 0.99. Besides, no significant difference was found in test results of reporter assay and 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay (paired t test, p＝0.630). All these results suggested that the reporter assay was a viable assay for biological determination of rhBNP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of rhBNP on the discharge time and pleural effusion in children with total cavo-pulmonary connection, and to provide a more reasonable method for the clinical treatment of postoperative children. Meth-ods Retrospective analysis of Jan 2016 to Jan 2017 during the hospital 40 cases of complex congenital heart disease in children with total cavo-pulmonary connection clinical data, of which 5 cases due to postoperative thrombosis or postoperative venous pressure was too high and had a second Fontan surgery, the patients excluded from the inclusion criteria. 9 cases of children re-turned to the ward after surgery, such as cardiac, diuretic and other conventional treatment based on the application of unequal dose of rhBNP(3-11 days) for the rhBNP group, 26 cases of conventional treatment of children with conventional treatment group. By comparing the early postoperative survival rate, the number of days of hospital stay and the retention time of the tho-racic drainage between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in the time of cardiopulmonary bypass, postoperative ventilator use time, ICU time and positive inotropic drug scores in all the two groups. All the patients underwent preoperative examination with total cavo-pulmonary connection were alive and healthy discharge. The median hospital stay was 18 days in the rhBNP group(11-33 days, mean 19. 2 days), and the median length of hospital stay was 28 days in the routine treatment group(9 to 95 days, mean 34. 4 days). The difference of hospitalization days between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0. 038). In the retention time of the thoracic drainage tube, the median thoracic drainage tube retention time was 14 days(9-27 days, mean 15. 6 days) in the rhBNP group and 23 days in the conventional treatment group(7-91 days, mean 30. 9(P=0. 046). All the patients had no adverse effects such as excessive fluid load, intractable hypotension and liver or kidney function injury. Conclusion RhBNP can be used safely in pediatric cardiac surgery. Compared with the convention-al treatment group, rhBNP has advantages in the early discharge time and the time of thoracic drainage tube removal in children with total cavo-pulmonary connection.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of rh-BNP combined with continuous renal replacement therapy on the re-fractory heart failure in cardiorenal syndrome. Methods:Totally 48 patients with refractory heart failure in cardiorenal syndrome in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group was received the con-ventional drug therapy combined with continuous renal replacement therapy, and the observation group was received rh-BNP therapy ad-ditionally. After 7 days, NT-ProBNP, heart rate, LVEF, SV, BUN, Scr and GFR of the two groups were compared, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated. Results:After the treatment, all the observed indicators in the two groups were significantly improved than those before the treatment, and the improvement in the observation group was better than that in the control group ( P<0. 05). The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(91. 67% vs 79. 17%, P<0. 05). Conclusion:The combination of rh-BNP and continuous renal replacement therapy can improve heart and kidney function of the refrac-tory heart failure in cardiorenal syndrome with better efficacy.

Clini-cal efficacy of 2 groups were observed,and serum levels of UA and BNP,heart function index,the safety of drug use were ob-served before and after treatment. RESULTS:After treatment,total effective rate of observation group(94.11%)was significantly higher than that of control group (70.59%),with statistical significance (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:rhBNP combined with levosimendan have significant clinical efficacy and high safety in the treatment of acute heart failure.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on non-invasive hemodynamic in acute myocardial infarction patients with left ventricular failure. Methods A number of 96 acute myocardial infarction patients accompanied with heart failure after PCI hospitalized in the People's Hospital of Sanya during February 2012 to October 2015 were selected. They were randomly divided into the therapy group (n = 50) and control group (n = 46). On the basis of routine treatment, patients in the therapy group were treated with intravenous rhBNP (1.5 μg/kg was intravenous injection with uniform speed of 3 min, followed by continuous infusion 0.007 5 μg/kg·min for 72 h), while the control group received conventional treatment. BioZ-2011 non-invasive hemodynamic real-time monitoring system was used to monitor the hemodynamic parameters changes and the leaves of plasma pro-BNP, serum creatinine, serum potassium, serum sodium and urine volume of each group before and after treating for 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h. Results Patients in the therapy group showed no effect on heart rate, while after 30 min of intravenous injection of rhBNP, CO, CI, SV, and SI increased significantly and LVET and TFC reduced at the same time, which had certain effect on blood pressure (SBP/DBP). Compared with the control group, the therapy group showed a faster and more effective improvement on hemodynamics. Conclusions Acute myocardial infarction patients complicated with left heart failure after primary PCI can significantly improve hemodynamics by treating with rhBNP.
