RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of atenolol combined with perindopril in the treatment of chronic heart failure in older adult patients and its effects on ventricular function, serum connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and nexin.Methods:120 older adult patients with chronic heart failure who received treatment in the Department of Cardiology, the First People's Hospital of Fuyang District from January 2016 to January 2018 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either basic treatment + atenolol treatment (control group, n = 60) or atenolol combined with perindopril treatment (observation group, n = 60). Clinical efficacy and clinical symptom, serum CTGF, nexin level and ventricular function pre- and post-treatment, as well as adverse reactions were compared between the control and observation groups. Results:After treatment, effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (91.6% vs. 78.3%, χ2 = 4.183, P = 0.041). After treatment, CTGF and nexin levels in the control and observation groups were decreased compared with before treatment (both P < 0.05). After treatment, CTGF and nexin levels in the observation group were (4.42 ± 0.46) μg/L and (0.82 ± 0.03) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(4.82 ± 0.51) μg/L, (0.98 ± 0.04) μg/L, t = 18.153, 4.511, 19.335, 24.787, all P < 0.05]. After treatment, left ventricular end diastolic diameter and left ventricular end systolic diameter in the control and observation groups were deceased compared with before treatment (both P < 0.05). After treatment, left ventricular end diastolic diameter and left ventricular end systolic diameter in the observation group were (48.73 ± 4.41) mm and (41.13 ± 4.15) mm, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(56.01 ± 4.67) mm, (47.45 ± 4.17) mm, t = 5.700, 8.799, 8.317, 8.351, all P < 0.05]. After treatment, left ventricular ejection fraction in the control and observation groups was significantly increased compared with before treatment. After treatment, left ventricular ejection fraction in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(44.86 ± 4.59) % vs. (39.05 ± 4.69) %, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Atenolol combined with perindopril in the treatment of older adult patients with chronic heart failure can reduce clinical symptoms, improve ventricular function, decrease serum CTGF and nexin levels and is highly safe. Therefore, this method is worthy of clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of cutaneous never anastomosis on sensory recovery in repairing wide spreadly soft tissue de-fects in dorsal hand with free anterolateral femoral flap. Methods The cases with wide spreadly soft tissue defects in dorsal hand repaired with free anterolateral femoral flap from January 2006 to December 2012 were divided into 2 groups. The control group including 15 consec-utive patients from January 2006 to January 2009, whose sensation was reconstructed in routine way. Other 15 consecutive patients from Febnary 2009 to December 2012 were as research group, whose sensation was reconstructed with the suture of cutaneous nevers of anterolat-eral femoral flaps and forearm. All the patients were followed up for 12~24 months. Results All the free flaps survived in both groups. There were 4 cases good of sensory recovery in the control group, and it was 11 in the research group. No ulceration happened. Conclusion Cutaneous never anastomosis may result in satisfactory sensory function in the patients with wide spreadly soft tissue descts in dorsal hand repaired with free anterolateral femoral flap.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:To in vitro isolate neural stem cel s with high purity and uniform biological properties and to establish a complete set of neural stem cel culture system is the basis for neural stem cel research. OBJECTIVE:To establish an isolation and culture system for neural stem cel s from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex and to analyze the biological properties of cel s. METHODS:Neural stem cel s were isolated from the hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex tissue of newborn Kunming mice by mechanical separation and trypsin digestion. Serum-free culture technology, mechanical pipetting and trypsin digestion were used for subculture of neural stem cel s. 10%fetal bovine serum was used to induce differentiation of neural stem cel s. Neural stem cel s and their differentiated products were identified by immunofluorescent staining of Nestin, CD133,β-TubulinIII, glial fibril ary acidic protein. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The neural stem cel obtained from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex had the capacity of self-renewal and differentiation which were positive for Nestin and CD133. After induction with fetal bovine serum, neural stem cel could differentiation toβ-tubulinIII or glial fibril ary acidic protein positive cel s that were neurons and astrocytes. This experiment has successful y established the neural stem cel isolation, culture, identification and induction system, providing experimental basis for subsequent studies of neural stem cel s.
RESUMO
@#Objective To observe the clinical outcome of repair of the tissue defects of the tendon and skin with thigh anterolateral free flap with iliotibial tract. Methods The data was reviewed from June 2006 to June 2010, which the thigh anterolateral free flap with iliotibial tract were used to repair the defects of the tendon and skin of back of hand in 12 patients. The skin flap was 7 cm´10 cm~8 cm´12 cm in area. The iliotibial tract was 7~13 cm in length and 8~10 cm in width. Institute of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association was to assess the effect. The fellow-up of the 12 patients was 6 months~4 years. Results All the flaps survived after the operation. The result showed excellent in 3 patients, good in 6 and fair in 3. Conclusion It is an effective surgical method to repair the tissue defects of the tendon and skin with thigh anterolateral free flap with iliotibial tract.
