Objective: To observe the relationship between the dynamic changes of plasma levels of urotensin II (UII) and the stability of coronary atherosclerotic plaque in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: Our research included 2 groups: ACS group,n=135 consecutive patients treated in our hospital from 2013-03 to 2013-08 that including unstable angina pectoris (UAP) sub-group,n=7, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) sub-group,n=22 and STEMI sub-group,n=106. In addition, there was a Control group,n=48 healthy subjects. Plasma levels of UII, hs-CRP and NT-proBNP were examined and compared among different groups at different time points.
Results: Compared with Control group at immediate admission, ACS group had increased plasma level of UII (39.82 ± 22.28) pg/ml vs (26.88 ± 6.09) pg/ml,P<0.001; UII level in STEMI sub-group was lower than NSTEMI sub-group (37.41 ± 22.74) pg/ml vs (48.07 ± 15.82) pg/ml,t=2.092,P <0.05. In ACS patients, UII had no correlation to hs-CRP (r=0.041, P=0.639) and NT-proBNP (r=0.112,P=0.261) at immediate admission. There were 58 ACS patients finished the 3 months follow-up study and their UII level was increased than immediate admission as (56.52 ± 20.70) pg/ml vs (51.58 ± 18.70) pg/ml,t=-2.366,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Plasma levels of UII have been changing in different type of ACS patients at immediate admission, UII presented decreasing trend from UAP to NSTEMI to STEMI, while it had increasing trend upon stabilized condition; the admission level of UII had no correlation to inflammatory marker hs-CRP and ventricular overload marker NT-proBNP. UII is not only related to the extent of atherosclerosis, but also related to the nature of atherosclerosis or the stability of plaques.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of alveolar lavage combined with montelukast in the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and its effect on oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted involving 90 patients with AECOPD who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Shan County Central Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 45 patients in each group, using the random number table method. The control group received conventional treatment, while the observation group was additionally treated with alveolar lavage combined with montelukast. Symptom score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, overall response rate, serum levels of oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, and superoxide dismutase), and serum levels of inflammatory factors (C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the symptom scores for both groups decreased significantly compared with their respective scores before treatment ( t = 6.68, 11.32, both P < 0.05). After treatment, the symptom score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(8.69 ± 0.84) points vs. (15.39 ± 1.18) points, t = 8.75, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 9.19, P < 0.05). The overall response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [93.33% (42/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), t = 4.56, P < 0.05]. After treatment, serum levels of 4-hydroxynonenal and malondialdehyde in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 4.20, 5.15, both P < 0.05), while serum level of superoxide dismutase in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 5.23, P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 6.86, 5.60, 8.75, 4.89, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Alveolar lavage combined with montelukast can reduce clinical symptoms in patients with AECOPD, promote recovery, enhances clinical efficacy, decreases oxidative stress responses, increases the body's antioxidant capacity, lowers the expression of inflammatory factors, and reduces inflammatory responses.

The patients were divided into control group and treatment group by using the random number table method with 31 patients in control group and 30 patients in treatment group. They all treated with anti-infection, anti-inflammation, expectoration, spasmolysis, asthma relief, anticoagulation and nutritional support. The control group was given conventional low flow oxygen therapy, while the treatment group was given nasal high flow oxygen therapy. The changes of partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PSAP), right ventricular pressure maximum rise rate (dp/dt) and the application rate of non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation within 7 d were observed before and 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment. Results:Before treatment, PaO 2, PaCO 2, PSAP and dp/dt of patients in the two groups showed no statistical difference, indicating comparability between groups. Compared with the control group, the PaO 2 in the treatment group decreased at all time points after treatment [(54.37 ± 5.39) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (57.77 ± 6.06) mmHg, (61.87 ± 5.20) mmHg vs. (65.03 ± 4.91) mmHg, (66.93 ± 6.59) mmHg vs. (72.58 ± 7.13) mmHg, (70.20 ± 8.18) mmHg vs. (75.55 ± 7.37) mmHg, P<0.05]. PaCO 2 decreased [(57.97 ± 6.18) mmHg vs. (61.84 ± 6.20) mmHg, (51.27 ± 4.53) mmHg vs. (55.77 ± 5.87) mmHg, (48.57 ± 5.37) mmHg vs. (51.55 ± 4.62) mmHg, (44.70 ± 5.40) mmHg vs. (47.68 ± 5.86) mmHg, P<0.05]. PSAP all decreased [(50.80 ± 6.94) mmHg vs. (54.55 ± 6.58) mmHg, (48.70 ± 6.22) mmHg vs. (52.55 ± 6.91) mmHg, (45.33 ± 7.51) mmHg vs. (49.19 ± 6.40) mmHg, (41.23 ± 9.22) mmHg vs. (45.94 ± 7.35) mmHg, P<0.05]. Dp/dt all increased [(403.77 ± 109.43) mmHg/s vs. (345.39 ± 112.50) mmHg/s, (429.83 ± 102.56) mmHg/s vs. (369.77 ± 110.55) mmHg/s, (483.43 ± 105.20) mmHg/s vs. (426.48 ± 107.27) mmHg/s, (532.43 ± 107.01) mmHg/s vs. (473.74 ± 105.00) mmHg/s. P<0.05]. The application rate of non-invasive/invasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group within treated for 7 d ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Transnasal high-flow oxygen therapy has a better clinical effect on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is helpful to improve the right heart function.
