Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(19):2976-2978
Objective To investigate the impact of carvedilol on plasma cytokines in patients with chronic congestive heart failure(CHF) and its efficacy analysis.Methods 72 hospitalized patients with CHF were randomly divided into observation group and control group.The two groups were given standard therapy after admission.The observation group were given addition of carvedilol with an initial dose of 3.125mg,2 times daily,gradually increasing amount until the maintenance dose of 25mg,2 times daily for 12 weeks.Results After 12 weeks of treatment,plasma TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in both groups were significantly decreased than before (t =3.02,3.17,2.97,2.26,2.25,2.21,all P < 0.05) and the decline in the observation group was more significant than those in the control group(t =2.32,2.35,2.29,all P < 0.05);The total clinical efficiency in the observation group(94.44%) was significantly higher(77.78%)(x2 =4.18,P < 0.05),and there were no significant adverse drug reactions during treatment in both groups.During 1-year follow-up after treatment,re-hospitalization rate in the observation group (61.11%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (36.11%) (x2 =4.50,P < 0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference in mortality between two groups (x2 =0.26,P > 0.05).Conclusion Carvedilol is a safe and effective drug for the treatment of CHF,which can lower plasma cells factor TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 levels,reduce patient re-hospitalization rates,and help to improve the patients' prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of source to image receptor distance (SID) on the image quality and entrance surface dose (ESD) in the chest digital radiography (DR) for infants.Methods Anthropomorphic chest phantoms were exposed to 60 kVp and different values of SID ( 150 -80 cm with the interval of 10 cm,totally 8 groups) so as to record the values of mAs and ESD.The SID values of 110 cm and 90 cm with the moderate and low ESD values were selected for clinical test.Forty-two hospitalized infants,aged 12 months (8 months to 2 years) underwent chest DR with the SID of 110 cm before admission and 90 cm before discharge respectively.The values of ESD were recorded and compared.Three experienced experts assessed the quality of 84 pieces of images.Results The values of mAs and ESD decreased gradually along with the decrease of the SID from 150 cm to 80 cm.All the 84 images from the 42 infants met the demands for diagnosis.There was no significant difference in the score of image quality of the group with the SID of 110 cm (4.4±0.3) and 90 cm(4.2±0.4) (t=0.453,P>0.05).The value of ESD of the group with the SID of 90 cm was significantly lower than that of the group of SID of 110 cm by 0.003 4 mGy ( t =12.001,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions The image quality of chest DR could meet the demands for diagnosis in spite of the value of SID,however,the SID value in chest DR significantly might influence the ESD.The SID value of 90 cm shoud be recommended in chest DR for infants.

Objective:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid( MPA)and its metabolites in different stages af-ter the administration of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium( EC-MPS)tablets in Chinese liver transplant recipients. Methods:The blood samples of 24 patients were collected in 0-12h of the 1st and 3rd week after the administration of EC-MPS. The concentrations of MPA,AcMPAG and MPAG in plasma were measured by LC-MS/MS developed in our lab. The pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA and its metabolites were estimated by non-compartmental method. Results:After 1-and 3-week therapy with EC-MPS,Cmax ,AUC0-12 and t1/2 was(18. 1 ± 8. 75)and(20. 7 ± 16. 0)μg ml-1 ,(42. 7 ± 17. 5)and(47. 1 ± 23. 9)μg·h·ml-1 ,(3. 33 ± 2. 81)and (3.30 ±1.89)h for MPA;(2.50 ±1.86)and(1.78 ±1.72)μg·ml-1,(14.5 ±11.7)and(6.97 ±6.57)μg·h·ml-1, (4. 48 ± 2. 53)and(3. 76 ± 1. 8)h for AcMPAG;(171. 6 ± 135. 4)and(152. 2 ± 115. 9)μg·ml-1 ,(1299 ± 1 204)and(1 051 ± 561)μg·h·ml-1 ,(8. 73 ± 4. 25)and(7. 75 ± 2. 87)h for MPAG,respectively. There was no significant difference in the PK parameters of MPA after the 1-and 3-week therapy. The Cmax ,Tmax and t1/2 of MPA in the patients received EC-MPS were significantly higher than those in the patients received MMF(P<0. 05). Cmax and AUC0-12 of MPAG in the patients received EC-MPS were signifi-cantly higher than those in the patients received MMF after the 3-week therapy(P<0. 05). Conclusion:There is no significant accu-mulation of MPA after the therapy with EC-MPS at different stages. The absorption of MPA is delayed after the therapy with EC-MPS compared with that with MMF. There is no difference in MPA exposure between EC-MPS and MMF in Chinese liver transplant patients.

Objective To understand the awareness status of knowledge on malaria control among residents and students,so as to evaluate the effectiveness of health education during the elimination phase of malaria in Jinshan District ,Shanghai City. Methods In 2010 and 2014,the stratified sampling and cluster sampling methods were taken to select the investigation sites, including 3 villages,1 middle schools,1 primary school,then the residents above 15 years old and the students in the above se?lected sites were investigated by questionnaires to understand their awareness status on malaria control. Results In 2010,the general awareness rates of malaria control knowledge of the study objects were 74.22%,and those of the residents,middle school students,and primary school students were 75.68%,61.86%and 72.20%,respectively. There was no significant differ?ence between the awareness rates of objects with different gender(χ2=1.755,P>0.05). The rate of the residents was higher than that of the students(χ2=59.838,P<0.01). From 2010 to 2014,a series of health education on malaria control was car?ried out. In 2014,the general awareness rate of knowledge on malaria control was 96.03%,and those of the residents,middle school student,and primary school students were 92.28%,98.59%and 99.49%,respectively. The awareness rate of the stu?dents was higher than that of the residents(χ2=275.794,P<0.01). Conclusion Through the health education and communi?ty advocacy,the awareness rates of knowledge on malaria control among residents and students have improved and met the quali?fication of malaria elimination in Jinshan District.

Objective:Our aim was to study the levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and pulmonary perfusion imaging in determining of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Methods: We measured ANP levels by using radioimmunoassay after making various types of PAH in rabbits. Catheterization and pulmonary perfusion tomographic imaging were used in the control group. Results: When the pulmonary artery pressure increased slightly, the ANP levels were lower in PAH group than that of control group, but the difference was not significant (t=1, P>0.05). At the same time, pressure measured by catheterization did not change as the control group, but the ratio of back/abdomen radiopharmaceuticals distribution which was measured with pulmonary perfusion tomographic imaging was significantly higher in PAH group than that of the control (t=2.5, P<0.05). The difference between the ANP levels when the pulmonary artery pressure increased medially and seriously was significant (t=4.0 and 6.5, P<0.05). The other two methods got the same result (P<0.05). Results of three examining methods were positively related. Conclusion:The ANP levels can determine the degree of PAH, and it was simple. But it was not as sensitive as that of pulmonary perfusion tomographic imaging.

Objective To analyze the clinical application of donor specific antibodies (DSAs) detected by a single antigen Luminex virtual crossmatch,and to discuss the treatment of DSA and the impact of DSA on renal function.Methods Serum from living-relative renal recipients before and after transplantation was investigated using a Luminex single antigen assay.The relation between DSA and renal acute rejection as well as renal function was analyzed.Results A total of 30 patients and 173 serum samples were tested,including 47 serum samples before transplantation,and 126 after transplantation.DSA was positive in one patient before transplantation,and 8 patients after transplantation.Three of the patients positive for DSA were treated by Bortezomib,3 by addition of MMF,2 by addition of CNI,1 by addition of Sirolimus.The MFI of DSA in one of the patients treated by Bortezomib was decreased to below 1000,while that in the other two decreased by more than 50 %.The renal eGFR at the time with and without DSA was (1.50 ± 0.59) and (1.23 ± 0.38)ml/s respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of single bead antigen antibody DSA conduces to direct the adjustment of immunosuppressant.The appearance of DSA contributes to the declination of renal function.Application of Bortezomib decreased the MFI of DSA.
