1.Study for improving effect on ventricular structure and clinic effect of fasudil in patients with heart failure
Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2017;26(4):431-434
Objective:To observe clinical therapeutic effect of fasudil hydrochloride in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).Methods: A total of 134 CHF cases were selected from our department.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into routine treatment group and fasudil group, both groups were treated for three months.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESd), levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), endothelin (ET)-1 and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results: Compared with fasudil group before treatment and routine treatment group after treatment, there were significant reductions in LVEDd [(58.20±8.44) mm, (58.22±10.21)mm vs.(51.24±7.37)mm], LVESd [(47.52±6.51) mm, (47.56±6.54)mm vs.(41.24±5.33)mm], levels of BNP [(381.35±62.48) μg/L, (377.82±61.46) μg/L vs.(294.52±51.33) μg/L], ET-1 [(81.93±13.53) μg/L, (81.32±12.63) μg/L vs.(68.44±11.42) μg/L] and ANP [(215.33±39.72) μg/L, (210.51±36.17) μg/L vs.(172.26±27.54) μg/L], and significant rise in LVEF [(29.69±4.08)%, (29.94±4.25)% vs.(37.47±5.26)%] in fasudil group after three-month treatment, P<0.01 all.Total effective rate of fasudil group was significantly higher than that of routine treatment group (94.0% vs.80.6%, P=0.019).There was no significant difference in incidence rate of adverse reactions between two groups, P>0.05.Conclusion:Fasudil hydrochloride can significantly reduce levels of BNP, ET-1 and ANP, delay ventricular remodeling and improve cardiac function in CHF patients.The therapeutic effect is significant and safety is good.

Objective To employ high-throughput next generation sequencing (NGS) for analyzing the expression of lneRNAs and mRNAs in donor samples from pediatric living donor liver transplantation and search differentially expressed lncRNAs and drag metabolic gene for individualized guidance of immunosuppressive agents.Methods Between October 2016 and December 2017,10 liver tissue specimens from living donor liver transplantation children were collected and divided into fast and slow metabolic groups (n =5 each) according to the postoperative profiles of drug metabolism.Samples were assayed for high-throughput NGS.Target analysis was used for functional pathways and screening target genes prediction.Results There were differentially expressed 908 mRNAs and 1228 lncRNAs between slow metabolic and fast metabolic groups (P<0.05).According to the abundance and difference,22 up-regulated and 18 down-regulated mRNAs,13 up-regulated and 24 down-regulated lncRNAs were selected.In addition to CYP3A5,CYP2C19,CYP1A2 and UGT1A1 might affect the metabolism of tacrolimus.At the same time,NONHSAT108617.2 in differemially expressed lncRNAs might regulate the expression of CYP3A5 gene.Conclusions This study has comprehensively analyzed the expression of lncRNAs in donor liver from pediatric liver transplantation.Some differentially expressed drug metabolism related genes may affect tacrolimus metabolism in vivo and thus the postoperative use of immunosuppressive drugs.
