Objective:To discuss the clinical assessment value of comprehensive echocardiographic parameters in detecting the left ventricular diastolic function in patients with hypertension. Methods: 60 hypertensive patients (30 cases without left ventricular hypertrophy (non-LVH), 30 cases with left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH) were divided into hypertension group, and 60 healthy subjects were in control group. All of the subjects were underwent M type, color ultrasound and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). And to compare their comprehensive echocardiographic parameters.Results: Compared with the healthy control group, the IVSd, LVPWd, LVMI, LAD and LVD of hypertension group were significantly enlargement; the s', e', E peak and LVEDP of hypertension group also significantly increased, while a' and A peak were significantly reduced; compared with non-LVH, e', E peak and LVEDP of LVH group were significantly increased, and a' and A peak were significantly reduced, and these differences were statistically significant (t=-4.39,t=-4.39,t=5.47,t=-8.02, t=6.20,t=18.95, t=16.12;P<0.01).Conclusion: The comprehensive echocardiographic parameters can evaluate the extent of damage for left ventricular diastolic function of patients with hypertension, and they can be as the assessment standard of left ventricular hypertrophy. In clinical practice, TDI can be used as a new means in the evaluation of ventricular diastolic function.
4. A review on clinical application of high frequency traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of coronavirus pneumonia 2019
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2020;51(5):1153-1158
Since December 2019, there has been a sharp increase in the number of confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in China, which has caused great concern around the world. In face of severe epidemic, no specific drugs have been found in clinical practice. However, some Chinese medicine compounds have shown obvious clinical efficacy, and it is feasible to find and develop natural drugs for the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia from these compounds. In this paper, based on the recommends of new type of coronavirus infection pneumonia diagnosis and treatment scheme (trial version 6), the use frequency of Chinese herbal medicines was calculated. The antiviral reports of high frequency Chinese herbal medicines were reviewed, in order to provide the reference for screening the active components against SARS-CoV-2 from traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To explore influence of exercise on cardiac autonomic nerve function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and its clinical significance. Methods: A total of 53 patients with coronary heart disease undergoing CABG were randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=25) and rehabilitation group (n=28, received exercise training based on routine treatment). Changes of autonomic nerve function before, second and eighth week after CABG were analyzed in two groups using time domain indexes of heart rate variability (HRV) by ambulatory electrocardiography, including standard deviation of normal to normal RR intervals calculated over the 24 h period (SDNN), standard deviation of normal to normal RR intervals in all 5 min segments of the entire recording (SDANN), root-mean square of differences between successive normal to normal intervals (rMSSD) and adjacent normal RR interval difference > 50ms stroke accounted for a percentage of 24h total RR interval (PNN50). Results: Compared with before CABG, there were significant decrease in SDNN, SDANN, RMSSD and PNN50 in both groups two weeks after CABG (P<0.05~0.01); eight weeks after CABG, above indexes recovered to levels before CABG in routine treatment group[SDNN (113.6±29.4)vs.(116.7±24.7), SDANN(112.2±32.1)vs.(113.6±28.6), rMSSD(21.9±8.2) vs.(23.2±7.1), and PNN50 (7.5±4.2)vs.(8.2±3.7)] , P>0.05 all; Compared with before CABG, there were significant improvements in SDNN [(114.7±25.2) ms vs. (132.6±30.6) ms], SDANN [(111.6±23.5) ms vs. (129.2±30.8) ms], rMSSD [(24.2±8.7) ms vs. (29.9±7.5) ms] and PNN50 [(7.8±2.2) ms vs. (9.5±2.3) ms], and there were significant improvement than those of routine treatment group [SDNN (132.6±30.6)vs.(113.6±29.4), SDANN(129.2±30.8)vs.(112.2±32.1), rMSSD(29.9±7.5)vs.(21.9±8.2)and PNN50 (9.5±2.3)vs.(7.5±4.2)] eight weeks after CABG in rehabilitation group, P<0.05 all. Conclusion: All HRV indexes significantly decrease on two weeks after CABG in both groups, suggesting that CABG can damage cardiac autonomic nerve system. These indexes of rehabilitation group were more improvement than those of routine treatment group, suggesting exercise training can more significantly improve cardiac autonomic nerve function after CABG.

Trichinella spiralis nudix hydrolase (TsNd) gene encoding a 46 kDa protein was
expressed in Escherichia coli and the potential of recombinant TsNd protein (rTsNd) as an
antigen for the serodiagnosis of trichinellosis was investigated by ELISA and compared with
those of ELISA with T. spiralis muscle larval excretory–secretory (ES) antigens. The sensitivity
of both ELISA was 100% (30/30), for the detection of anti-Trichinella IgG antibodies in sera of
the experimentally infected mice, and the specificity of rTsNd-ELISA and ES-ELISA was 100%
(54/54) and 98% (53/54), respectively (P>0.05). Serum anti-Trichinella antibodies were firstly
detected by rTsNd-ELISA at 14 days post infection (dpi), then continued to increase with a
detection rate of 100% at 36 dpi. The anti-Trichinella antibody levels at different times after
infection were statistically different (P<0.05). The results showed that the rTsNd might be a
potential candidate antigen for specific serodiagnosis of trichinellosis. But, it needs to be
further evaluated with sera of the patients with trichinellosis and other helminthiasis.

Objective To investigate the factors associated with long-term efficacy of microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm. Methods 253 cases of hemifacial spasm treated with microvascular decompression were followed 13 to 144 months (mean 73 months). Results Hemifacial spasms were obliterated in 232 cases (91.7%) and were partially relieved in 10 cases (4%). However, hemifacial spasm recurred 11 cases (4.3%). We re-operated on those who had recurrent hemifacial spasm and found that the material used for previous decompression had moved. The movement of decompression material could be the cause of spasm recurrence. Conclusions Upholding of depression material around the blood vessels against movement near the facial nerve plays an important role for improving the long-term efficacy of MVD for hemifacial spasm.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of 2 mg/d and 4 mg/d of terazosin in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).Methods A total of 120 BPH patients were randomly divided into 2 groups receiving 2 mg or 4 mg terazosin per day for 2 months. Arterial blood pressure, International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) and peak flow rate (Qmax) before and after treatment were compared while side effects were estimated. Results Forty-six patients receiving 2 mg and 54 patients receiving 4 mg terazosin completed this study. Patients' age and pre-treatment blood pressure, IPSS and Qmax had no difference between the 2 groups. The improvement of IPSS (including obstructive score, irritating score and total IPSS) and Qmax was significantly better in 4 mg group. The percentage of patients experiencing greater than 30% improvement in Qmax in the 4 mg treatment groups was significantly higher than that of the 2 mg group (46.3% vs 23.9%, P=0.02). Side effects were rare and mild in both groups.Conclusion The improvements of IPSS and Qmax are significantly greater in 4 mg treatment of terazosin than that of 2 mg with no obvious increase of side effects.
