Invesitigation of the effects of Compound Danshen on endothelins and 6-Keto-PGF_(1?) of patients with pulmonary heart disease / 中国呼吸与危重监护杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the changes of endothelin and 6 Keto PGF 1? of patients with pulmonary heart disease and effects of Compound Danshen,to study the role of ET 6 Keto PGF 1? in pulmonary heart disease and pulmonary artery hypertension,and explore a safe and effective drug for pulmonary artery hypertension Methods 40 patients with CPHD and 30 patients with COPD as well as 20 healthy persons as control whose levels of plasma ET and 6 Keto PGF 1? were measured by radioimmunization,meanwhile,PaO 2 was measured by blood gas analyze instrument Results The level of ET in CPHD was higher than that in COPD and healthy group,company with the lower level of 6 Keto PGF 1? After treatment with Compound Danshen,the level of ET was reduced and 6 Keto PGF 1? was elevated Conclusions The balance between ET and PGI is important in modulating pulmonary circulation Compound Danshen can reduce pulmonary artery tension through protecting endothelium,decreasing ET,and increasing PGI 2
