Methods: By means of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), we analyzed ER gene polymorphism in 84 CHD patients and 61 healthy subjects and non-CHD inpatients. The clinical indexes associated with CHD were analyzed in relation to the three ER genotypes. Results: There were significant differences in the incidence of hypertension (58.62%), fibrinogen (Fib) concentration (3.5±0.8 g/L), body mass index (BMI, 25.1±3.2), HDL-C concentration (1.0±0.2 mmol/L) between PP genotype group and other genotype groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: ER gene polymorphism may affect ER-mediated cardiovascular protective effect by modulating the expression of ER.展开更多

[Methods]One hundred and ninety-seven patients with CHD and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome in our hospital from January 2016 to January 2018 were selected and randomly divided into two groups: control group( n =98) treated with aspirin plus atorvastatin,and research group( n =99) treated with DLT and aspirin plus atorvastatin for one month. The clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were observed. Serum secretory phospholipase A2( s PLA2),lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2( LP-PLA2),oxidized low-density lipoprotein( ox-LDL),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1( MCP-1) and World Health Organization Quality of Life( WHOQOL-100) scores were compared before and after one month of treatment. [Results] The total effective rate was93. 94% in the research group,which was higher than that in the control group( 79. 59%,P < 0. 05);the levels of serum s PLA2,LP-PLA2,ox-LDL and MCP-1 in the research group were lower than those in the control group after one month of treatment( P < 0. 05). There was no statistical significance of the difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the research group and the control group( P > 0. 05).After one month of treatment,WHOQOL-100 scores were higher in two groups,which were higher in the research group than that in the control group( P < 0. 05). [Conclusions]DLT can significantly reduce the level of serum inflammatory factors,improve the quality of life in patients with CHD and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome.展开更多

There was no statistical significance of the difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the research group and the control group( P > 0. 05).After one month of treatment,WHOQOL-100 scores were higher in two groups,which were higher in the research group than that in the control group( P < 0. 05). [Conclusions]DLT can significantly reduce the level of serum inflammatory factors,improve the quality of life in patients with CHD and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome.
文摘Objective:To study the correlation of CT coronary angiography plaque properties with platelet function and serum biochemical indexes in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:Patients who received CT coronary angiography examination and were diagnosed with coronary heart disease in Tianmen First People's Hospital between March 2015 and October 2017 were selected as the research subjects and divided into those with soft plaque, mixed plaque and calcified plaque according to the CT results;the serum levels of platelet function indexes as well as blood lipid and inflammation biochemical indexes were determined. Results: Serum PAF, CD62P, sTLT-1, LDL, Lp-a, PCSK9, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-17A, CD40L and sICAM1 levels as well as platelet surface EMMPRIN and GPVI fluorescence intensity of patients with soft plaque and mixed plaque were significantly higher than those of patients with calcified plaques whereas serum HDL levels were lower than that of patients with calcified plaque, and serum PAF, CD62P, sTLT-1, LDL, Lp-a, PCSK9, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-17A, CD40L and sICAM1 levels as well as platelet surface EMMPRIN and GPVI fluorescence intensity of patients with soft plaque were significantly higher than those of patients with mixed plaque whereas serum HDL level was lower than that of patients with mixed plaque. Conclusion: The changes of CT coronary angiography plaque properties in patients with coronary heart disease are closely related to platelet aggregation, lipid metabolism disorder and inflammatory response activation.
文摘Objective:To study the effect of telmisartan combined with lipid-lowering drug therapy on serum lipid metabolism index and cytokine levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by coronary heart disease.Methods:A total of106 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by coronary heart disease who were treated in our hospital between September 2013 and October 2016 were collected and then divided into the control group (n=55) who received conventional treatment + lipid-lowering drug treatment and the observation group (n=51) who received conventional treatment + lipid-lowering drug + telmisartan treatment after the therapies were reviewed. Before and after treatment, serum levels of lipid metabolism indexes, inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress indexes were compared between two groups of patients.Results:Before treatment, the differences in serum levels of lipid metabolism indexes, inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress indexes were not statistically significant between two groups of patients. After treatment, serum TG and LDL-C levels in observation group were lower than those in control group while HDL-C level was higher than that in control group;serum inflammatory mediators IL-6, IL-8, HMGB1 and TNF-α levels were lower than those in control group;serum oxidative stress indexes MDA and ROS levels were lower than those in control group while GSH-Px level was higher than that in control group.Conclusion:Telmisartan combined with lipid-lowering drug therapy can effectively optimize the lipid metabolism and reduce the systemic inflammatory response and oxidative stress response in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by coronary heart disease.
