Bibliometric analysis on relations between cardiovascular disease and erectile dysfunction / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective To understand the current situation and trend on the relations between erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) through analyzing the epidemiologic research data.Methods We conducted a literature search on the Scopus for potentially relevant epidemiologic studies on ED and CVD published from 1957 to October,28,2016.Age of the article,types,regions,citation,and co-authorship of the documents were recorded.Results A total number of 412 pieces of literature were published in the past six decades,with original articles the most common types of ED and CVD.ED and CVD associated epidemiologic topics had an annual increase in number,and remained stable in the past decade,with occident countries as the United States and Italy taking the lead in this area.Clinical and epidemiological studies were the hottest areas,with most authors sharing a co-authorship.Conclusion Our results suggested that inter-disciplinary cooperation with emphasize on clinical application were the effective starting points for ED and CVD associated epidemiologic studies.

The relationship between left ventricular diastolic function and arterial stiffness of diabetes patients / 中国综合临床

Objective To investigate the association between left ventricular diastolic function and arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods One hundred and two patients with type 2 diabetes( diabetic group),and 126 non-diabetic patients( control group) were selected from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2013 in the Beijing Military General Hospital. The clinical features were recorded and free blood glucose (FBG ),blood lipids were measured. Cardio ankle vascular index( CAVI ) was measured by VS-1000 arteriosclerosis detector. Ultrasound heartbeat diagram was used to determine the left ventricular diastolic function indexes including the left atrial diameter(LAD),left ventricular early diastolicpeak velocity(E),left ventricular diastolic peak velocity(A),E/ A ratio and E peak deceleration time(EDT). Results The level of LAD,A, EDT,CAVI in diabetic patients were(39. 5 ± 5. 3)mm,(76. 6 ± 13. 5)cm/ s,(206. 6 ± 56. 3)ms,(9. 6 ± 1. 1)respectively,higher than those in control group((34. 4 ± 4. 2)mm,(71. 3 ± 13. 4)cm/ s,(185. 5 ± 34. 4)ms,(8. 5 ± 0. 9)). And E,E/ A level in diabetic group were(56. 6 ± 20. 4)cm/ s and(0. 73 ± 0. 21),significantly lower than the control group((67. 5 ± 16. 4)cm/ s and(0. 96 ± 0. 26)). The differences between the two groups were significant(P = 0. 001,0. 004,0. 002,0. 001,0. 001,0. 001). After adjusting the factors including body mass index and triglyceride,CAVI was negatively correlated with E/ A(r = - 0. 339,P< 0. 05))and positively correlated with EDT(r = 0. 314,P < 0. 05). Conclusion The diabetic patients with lower diastolic function and higher arterial stiffness,and the two factors are negatively correlation.

Risk factors and association between cardio-ankle vascular index and carotid atherosclerosis in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus / 中国综合临床

ObjectiveTo study the association between cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and carotid atherosclerosis as well as the risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsSixty type2 diabetic patients and 60 non-diabetic patients at the same hospitalization period were selected.The clinical features,laboratory test results such as free blood glucose ( FBG),blood lipids and other biochemical markers were recorded.Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and CAVI were measured.The relationship between CAVI and carotid atherosclerosis were analyzed; a multivariate linear regression analysis was performed between CAVI and risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus.ResultsThe body mass index,triglycerides,FBG,HbA1 c,IMT,the incidence of carotid artery plaque and CAVI values of diabetic group were significantly higher than that of nondiabetic group.Difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( all P ＜ 0.05 ) ; CAVI and carotid IMT was significantly correlated to each other( r =0.435,P ＜ 0.01 ) ; Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CAVI was significantly correlated to age (β =0.458,P ＜0.01 ),triglycerides (β =0.058,P =0.012),FBG (β =0.168,P =0.002) and HbAlc (β =0.228,P =0.003).ConclusionCAVI inpatients with diabetes was positively correlated with carotid IMT.Age,diabetes,triglycerides,FBG and HbAlc are independent risk factors for arterial stiffness.

Effect of "Qishen Yiqi Droplet"on Inflammatory Factors in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention / 中国循环杂志

Objective:To observe the effect of "Qishen Yiqi Droplet" on serum concentrations of high sensitivity C reactive protein(hs-CRP),plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1),endothelin-1(ET-1)in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A total of 100 consecutive ACS patients ready to receive PCI therapy in our hospital from june 2007 to August 2008 were randomly assigned into two groups:Qishen group,n=50,with Qishen Yiqi Droplet 5.0 g three timee a day+conventional therapy after PCI;and Control group,n=50 with conventional therapy after PCI.The concentrations of hs-CRP,PAI-1 and ET-1were detected and compared 24 hours before PCI,and 24 hours,4weeks after PCI between two groups respectively.Results:There were no obvious differences of hs-CRP,PAI-1 and ET-1 24 hours after PCI in two groups.The levels of hs-CRP,PAI-1,ET-1 were lower in Qishen group than in Control group 4 weeks after PCI (0.219±0.143)ng/dl vs.(0.366±0.132)ng/dl,P<0.001,(104.252±26.038)ng/dl vs.(118.419±28.849)ng/ml,P<0.05,and (37.411±12.977)ng/dl vs.(45.755±12.305)pg/ml,P<0.01,respectively.Conclusion:Qishen Yiqi Droplet could decrease the levels of hs-CRP,PAI-1 and ET-1 in ACS patients who underwent PCI,and it might have the protective role in preventing the neointimal hyperplasia and thrombogenesis after stent implantation.
