<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the safety and efficacy of 40 mg daily atorvastatin in patients with acute myocardial infarction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 1102 patients with AMI admitted to our hospital from 2003 to 2007 were assigned to atorvastatin 40 mg daily within 24 hours of hospitalization and continued till 3 months post discharge. Patients with LDL-C < 2.0 mmol/L or increased liver enzyme level (3 times higher than normal) at discharge received atorvastatin 20 mg daily. Lipid profiles, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, liver enzyme level were measured at admission, hospital discharge and 3 months after discharge.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1)The mean hospitalization duration was (10.17 +/- 1.83) days. LDL-C was continuously decreased [(3.24 +/- 1.04) mmol/L at admission, (2.27 +/- 2.00) mmol/L at discharge and (1.48 +/- 0.78) mmol/L at 3 months after discharge, all P < 0.05]. HDL-C decreased from (1.45 +/- 0.38) mmol/L to (1.20 +/- 0.30) mmol/L at hospital discharge, then increased to (1.65 +/- 1.79) mmol/L at 3 months after hospital discharge (all P < 0.05). TC and apoB were also significantly decreased from admission to discharge (all P < 0.05). (2) high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level significantly decreased from admission to hospital discharge and at 1 months after hospital discharge [(49.71 +/- 50.46) mg/L vs. (8.80 +/- 17.66) mg/L vs. (2.61 +/- 2.30) mg/L, all P < 0.05]. (3) Increased ALT > 120 U/L (3 times higher than normal) were found in 127(11.25%), AST > 120 U/L were found in 26(2.40%) patients at discharge. There were still 4 patients with increased ALT (> 120 U/L) at 1 months after discharge and all returned to normal at 3 months after discharge.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Intensive atorvastatin therapy with a dose of 40 mg daily is safe and effective for patients with AMI.</p>

Objective To investigate the current status of impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG),diabetes mellitus(DM) and correlated factors, as well as on the awareness, treatment and control rate of diabetes mellitus in rural residents of Lanxi, Heilongjiang. Methods Cross-sectional and cluster sampling method was carried out on 3480 residents over 35 years of age, in rural residents of Lanxi Pingshan,Heilongjiang province. Results To male, female and all, the detecting rate of IFG were 5.06%,4.38% and 4.68% respectively, and the standardization rate of IFG became 4.71%, 4.24% and 4.47% respectively. The prevalence rates of DM were 7.85%, 6.57% and 7.15% but after standardization, they became 7.22%, 6.62% and 6.80% respectively. Results did not show statistical difference between sex and the level of fasting glycaemia (χ2 = 2. 725, P = 0. 256). The prevalence rates of IFG and DM increased with age and difference was seen between age and fasting glycaemia level (χ2 = 58.115, P = 0. 000). Data from multivariable stepwise analysis showed that age, smoking, BMI and high triglyceride were the significant factors in fasting glycaemia level, and the ORs (95% CI) were 1. 518 ( 1. 360-1. 694), 1. 277(1.134-1.439),1.187(1.014-1.391) and 1.754(1.385-2.220) respectively. The rates of awareness,treatment and control rate in DM were 12.74%, 9.43% and 4.72% respectively while the treatment rate among those who knew the disease was 74.07%. Conclusion Our result showed that the isolating rate of IFG and the prevlence rate DM were high in this region, but the awareness, treatment and control rate in DM were low. It is essential to strengthen health promotion program on diabetic knowledge and to elevate the primary and secondary prevention in the rural of Heilongjiang,so as to raise the rate of control.
RESUMO
Objective To access the prevalence of prehypertensive stage and its associated risk factors in rural inhabitants from Lanxi county in Heilongjiang province.Methods Through cluster multistage and random sampling methods,local people aged≥15 years old in Lanxi county were selected.A survey on blood pressure and associated risk factors wasearried out.Overnight fasting blood specimen of people aged≥35 years old Was collected.Chi square test,t-test and logistic regression analyses were then performed.Results 5272 residents were surveyed including 2539 male and 2733 female subjects.The overall prevalence of prehypertension Was 36.34％.The prevalence of prehypertension appeared to be higher in males(39.50％)than in females(33.41％)(X2=58.9887,P<0.0001),The prevalence of prehypertension decreased with increasing age in men≥25 years old(x=96.0698,P<0.0001),and in women≥35 years old(X2=11.5784,p=0.0208).Data from multivariable logistic regression showed that being male.Aged(≥55 years old),with waist circumference As≥85 cm for men and≥80 cm for women.BMI≥25.0 kg/m2 and fasting plasma glucose≥7.0 mmol/L were risk factors of prehypertension while high.Density Iipoprotein cholesterol<0.9 mmol/L was shown as a protective factor(OR=0.740,P=0.0036).Dose-response relationships were seen between prehypertension and age,BMI and FPG.Conclusion Prehypertension Was popular in the rural area,with high prevalence seen in teenagers.Programs on prehypertension prevention should start from teenagers.Risk factors of prehypertension increased when people became age 55 or older.There was a need to monitot BP more often and to eontror BP through non-drug methods.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the prognostic significance of hyponatremia in patients with AMI.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The study population consisted of 670 patients with AMI in coronary care unit in our hospital from January 2003 to December 2004. The patients were designed into three groups according to serum sodium concentration within twenty four to forty eight hours following the onset of AMI: Group A. Na(+) > or = 135 mmol/L; Group B. Na(+) 120-135 mmol/L; Group C. Na(+) < or = 120 mmol/L. The data of myocardial enzymes, myocardial infarction size, heart function and inhospital mortality were analyzed retrospectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>1. The inhospital mortality of each group: group A was 7.6% (17/225), group B was 8.1% (34/421), group C was 33.3% (8/24). The difference between group C and group B or group A was significant. The P value was little than 0.05. 2. Activities of serum creatine phosphatase kinase and serum creatine phosphatase kinase isoenzymes and myocardial infarction sizes in each group were different (P < 0.05). 3. 59 cases of all died and 611 cases of all recovered in duration of hospital stay. Serum sodium concentrations of the recovered group were (133.00 +/- 5.25) mmol/L, and that of the died group were (122.00 +/- 7.25) mmol/L (P < 0.01). 4. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, hyponatremia was associated with 30-day mortality in patients with AMI. In analysis of the association between the degree of hyponatremia and outcome, we observed that the risk of 30-day mortality increased with the severity of hyponatremia.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Hyponatremia may be one of the important markers that predict a worse prognosis in patients with AMI.</p>
