Correlation analysis between coronary artery lesion and risk factors of coronary heart disease / 心血管康复医学杂志

Objective :To explore correlation between severity of coronary artery lesion and risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD) in CHD patients .Methods :The 452 patients ,who had clinical complete data and underwent coronary angiography in our hospital from Jan 2012 to Jan 2013 were retrospectively analyzed ,including 64 non‐CHD cases (non‐CHD group) and 388 CHD cases (CHD group).Correlation among number ,length ,size ,stenotic degree of diseased coronary artery vessels and CHD risk factors were explored .Results : (1) Compared with non‐CHD group ,there were significant rise in percentages of men ,hypertension (EH) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in CHD group , P＜0.05 or ＜0.01 ; (2) In CHD group ,compared with single vessel coronary disease group ,there were significant rise in age ,percentages of EH ,DM and patients with low HDL‐C in multi‐vessel coronary disease group , P＜0. 05 or ＜ 0. 01 ;compared with large vessel lesion patients ,there were significant rise in age and DM percentage ,and significant reduction in percentage of smokers in small vessel lesion patients , P＜ 0.01 all ;com‐pared with stenosis ＜90% group ,there was significant reduction in LVEF and significant rise in percentage of pa‐tients with elevated LDL‐C level in stenosis≥90% group , P＜0.05 or ＜0. 01 ;(3) Multivariate linear regression a‐nalysis and linear correlation analysis indicated that size of diseased coronary artery vessels was significant inversely correlated with age ( r＝ －0. 181 , P＝0.001) ;severity of coronary disease was significant inversely correlated with LVEF ( r＝ －0.213 , P＝0.001) ,and significant positively correlated with heart rate ( r＝0. 133 , P＝0.009) and LDL‐C level ( r＝0. 141 , P＝0.001).Conclusion :Risk factors for CHD , including aging , smoking , complicated DM , EH , hyperlipidemia , tachycardia and left ventricular systolic dysfunction etc ., will further aggravate coro‐ nary artery lesion .

Effect of calcium dobesilate on fundus microcirculation in patients with diabetic retinopathy and cataract / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM: To analyze the effect of calcium dobesilate combined with hypoglycemics for patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and cataract, and the influence on microcirculation of eye fundus, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level. METHODS: Totally 98 DR patients with cataract (126 eyes) from January 2013 to December 2015 in our hospital were selected as the research objects, and were divided into two groups randomly(treatment group:64 eyes in 49 patients, control group: 62 eyes in 49 patients). The control group was treated with acarbose tablet and metformin, while treatment group was treated with calcium dobesilate additionally. The clinical effect, the glycemic control effect, serum HIF-1α and VEGF level, eye function and fundus microcirculation of two groups after 12mo were compared. RESULTS: After 12mo, the total effective rates of two groups were 87.5%,61.3% respectively, which indicated significantly difference (P<0.05); the vision of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Two groups' blood glucose level decreased significantly, and no significant difference between two groups(P>0.05). After 1-month treatment, the plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, erythrocyte deformability index, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and hematocrit in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The PSV and EDV of the posterior ciliary artery and central artery in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05), and RI was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After 12-month treatment, the HIF-1α level of two groups were 35 90士11.36mmol/L, 46.75士12.08mmol/L respectively;the VEGF of two groups level were 89.72士13.61mmol/L, 110.30士16.74mmol/L, respectively, the treatment group's HIF- 1α level and VEGF were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05), and both decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Calcium dobesilate combined with hypoglycemics can effectively increase the clinical effect in the treatment of retinopathy diabetic cataract, effectively control blood glucose, improve microcirculation of eye fundus, decrease HIF - 1α, VEGF level, inhibit angiogenesis.

Lipid-lowering effect of seven traditional Chinese medicine monomers in zebrafish system / 生理学报

The present study aimed to study lipid-lowering effect of seven traditional Chinese medicine monomers in zebrafish system. Zebrafish were fed with high fat diet to establish a hyperlipemia model, then fasted and bathed with seven traditional Chinese medicine monomers stigmasterol, triacontanol, chrysophanol, vanillic acid, shikimic acid, polydatin and oleanolic acid respectively. The oil red O staining was used to detect the blood lipids of zebrafish. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were detected to validate the lipid-lowering effect. The result showed that a zebrafish model of hyperlipemia could be established by feeding larvae zebrafish with high fat diet. Among the seven traditional Chinese medicine monomers, chrysophanol had lipid-lowering effect. Chrysophanol significantly reduced serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in adult zebrafish fed with high fat diet. Chrysophanol accelerated peristalsis frequency of zebrafish intestine and the excretion of high fat food. It is concluded that chrysophanol has lipid- lowering effect in zebrafish, and the mechanism of the effect may be due to the roles of chrysophanol in reducing lipid absorption from gastrointestinal tract and accelerating the excretion of food.

Corneal histopathology changes of the soft contact lens long-time wearers / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM:To investigate the corneal histopathology changes induced by soft contact lenses ( SCL) at diffent time. METHODS: Central and peripheral cornea structures of myopic patients wearing SCL (150 cases) and the control goups ( 150 cases ) were observed with confocal microscopy. The examinations were performed 1, 3, 5, 8 and 10a after contact lenses wearing respectively. RESULTS: After wearing the contact lenses for 5a, the cell density of corneal surface epithelial was lower in SCL wearers compared with control goups (P0.05). The SCL wearers showed a thinner thickness of central corneal epithelium than control group (P<0. 05).CONCLUSION: The corneal morphologic changes are more obvious with the longer time, and the changes is not ignored.
