Effects of folic acid and vitamin B12 adjuvant therapy on serum inflammatory cytokines, Hcy and NT-proBNP in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure

Objective:To investigate the effect of folic acid combined with vitamin B12 supplementation with conventional drugs on the levels of serum inflammatory factors, Hcy and NT-proBNP in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:89 elderly patients with chronic heart failure were randomly divided into control group (n=47) and observation group (n=42) based on the random data table. The control group was given diuretics, ACEI andβ receptor inhibitor group of three categories of drugs combined treatment, on this basis, the observation group supplemented by folic acid tablets and vitamin B12 treatment, both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP and visfatin, Hcy and NT-proBNP were measured before and after treatment in both groups.Results: There was no significant difference in TNF-α, hs-CRP, visfatin, Hcy and NT-proBNP between the control group and the observation group before treatment. After treatment, the levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP, visfatin, Hcy and NT-proBNP in the two groups decreased significantly ,the difference was significant, the level of the above indexes of the observation group after treatment was significantly lower than that of the control group ,the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion: Folic acid combined with vitamin B12 can reduce the levels of serum inflammatory factors, Hcy and NT-proBNP in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and heart failure, which has certain clinical value.

Effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on serum inflammatory factors, neuroendocrine hormones and cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure

Objective:To investigate the effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) on inflammatory factors, neuroendocrine hormones and cardiac function indexes in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure.Methods:A total of91 cases of acute myocardial infarction with heart failure patients were divided into the control group (n=44) and observation group (n=47) according to the random data table, two groups of patients were given conventional treatment, based on this, the control group was given intravenous infusion of Nitroglycerin Injection treatment, the observation group received intravenous injection of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide treatment, compared serum inflammatory factors, neuroendocrine hormone and cardiac function and other indexes of two groups before and after treatment.Results: there was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP, IL-6, MCP-1, LVESD and LVEDD in the two groups were significantly lower than those within the group before treatment, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group;The two groups after treatment LVEF levels were significantly higher than those in the group before treatment, and the observation group was significantly higher than that of control group;the observation group after treatment PRA, Ang II and ALD and NE levels were significantly lower than those before treatment, and was significantly lower than the control group after treatment, the difference was significant, PRA, Ang, ALD and NE levels of control group before and after the treatment was no significant difference.Conclusion:recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction with heart failure can effectively reduce the serum inflammatory factors and neuroendocrine hormone levels, improve heart function, and have a certain clinical value.
