Clinical Medicine of China 2014;30(2):138-140
Objective To evaluate the influence and safety of losartan on high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and serum uric acid(UA) of essential high blood pressure(HBP) patients with hyperuricemia (HUA).Methods Eighty HBP patients complicated with HUA were enrolled and divided into the losartan group with losartan 50 mg/d(n =40) and the nifedipine group with nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) 30 mg/d (n =40) for 6 months continuously.The serum levels of hs-CRP,UA,hepatic and renal functions,creatine kinase(CK) and blood pressure were measured.Results Compared with before therapy,the systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were lower in two groups after 6-month treatment and the differences were statistically significant(losartan group:SBP:(158.5 ± 13.2) mmHg vs.(136.7 ± 9.4) mmHg,t =3.50,P < 0.01 ; DBP:(95.6 ± 8.4) mmHg vs.(83.3 ± 6.4) mmHg,t =3.49,P < 0.01 ; nifedipine group:SBP:(157.7 ± 13.9) mmHg vs.(134.6 ± 8.2) mmHg,t =3.53,P < 0.01 ; DBP:(96.1 ± 8.9) mmHg vs.(81.2±6.8) mmHg,t =3.56,P <0.01).The differences in terms of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were not significant at post-treatment between losartan and nifedipine group.The serum levels of hs-CRP and UA were significantly lower after 6-month treatment than before treatment in losartan group ((5.68 ± 1.53) mg/L vs.(3.52 ± 0.57) mg/L,t =3.82,P < 0.01 ; (502 ± 45) μmol/L vs.(450 ± 38) μmol /L,t =3.48,P< 0.01),but there was no change in nifedipine group(hs-CRP:(5.61 ± 1.64) mg/L vs.(5.33 ± 1.48) mg/L,t =1.34,P > 0.05 ; UA:(499 ± 43) μmol/L vs.(489 ± 42) μmol/L,t =0.68,P > 0.05).There was no significant change regarding of liver and kidney functions and serum CK in losartan group before and after treatment.No adverse reaction occurred in the losartan group.Conclusion Losartan treatment can decrease serum hs-CRP and UA of HBP patients complicated with HUA,and there is no serious adverse reactions and good security during treatment.
2.The Price Regulation of Medical Service:Theoretic model and reform trends in China
Chinese Health Economics 2013;(7):29-31
Objective: To explore the medical service price regulation of theoretic model and reform trends in China. Methods:Qualitative method. Results:Medical care is the service that mix the nature of public service and private service. The price regulation of medical care includes the regulation of price level and price structure. The asymmetric information, equality, externality and monopoly of the medical care are the reasons to implement the price regulation. Ramsey pricing model, investment rate of return pricing model, the price-cap model, yardstick price regulation model and Feldstein pricing model are the general models to implement the price regulation of medical care. Conclusion: China should reform and modify the current price level and structure of medical care based on the above models.
3.Content Change of Aconitine in Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii with Different Boiling Time
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;(9):47-48
Objective To investigate the content change of aconitine in Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii in different boiling time. Methods The chromatographic procedure was carried out with methanol-water-chloroform-diethylamide (70∶30∶3∶0.2) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, the column temperature at 30 ℃, and UV detector at 240 nm. Results There was a good linear relationship of aconitine within 0.08-0.8 μg, r=0.999 8 (n=6), and the average recovery rate was 97.16%. The content of aconitine increased gradually in 0-2 h, then gradually decreased. And the reduction was evident particularly during 2-4 hours. Conclusion HPLC method is rapid, simple, accurate, reproducible and reliable for determining aconitine. The content of aconitine can be decreased effectively by boiling 4 hours.
4.Overview of Antitumor Effects and Mechanism of Ginsenoside Rb1, Rg3, Rh2
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;(7):1634-1637
Ginsenoside is the main component of antitumor effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Ginseng. Clinical pharmacological studies have shown that Ginsenoside Rb1 can inhibit P-gp which can lead to efflux of drugs, enhance the sensitivity of cells to drugs, reduce the multidrug resistance of the tumor cell, and maintain the immune function of the body to tumor cells. Ginsenoside Rg3 can impact tumor cell protein expression, play a role in cell division, induce tumor cell apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth of blood vessels. Ginsenoside Rh2 may play an antitumor effect by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and metastasis, inducing tumor cell apoptosis. This article ex-plained the antitumor effects and mechanism of Ginsenoside Rb1, Rg3, Rh2 in order to provide theoretical evidences for the clinical development and application.
5.Effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension on lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity
Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2001;10(1):9-10
Objective: To observe the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension on lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Methods: A case-matched study of fasting plasma glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HIDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), insulin (FIN), C-peptide (FCP) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were detected in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without hypertensiorn. Results: Twenty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated hypertension had higher TG、 FINS and FCP, lower HDL and ISI levels than 20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without hypertension. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hypertension had more remarkable lipid metabolic disorder and insulin resistance than type 2 diabetes mellitus without hypertension.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(1):1-3
Objective To investigate the relationship between self-efficacy(SE)and subjective wellbeing(SWB)of the elderly in community.Methods 212 elderly people underwent a questionnaire survey by the Memorial University of New Foundland Scale of Happiness and the General Self-efflcacy Scale.Results The level of self-efficacy of the elderly in community was(2.39±0.63),of which impact factor was the level of education and average monthly income per person.The level of SWB was(37.31±7.24),of which impact factor was the level of education and occupation.The level of SE and SWB of the elderly sas mdderately positively correhted,r=0.36,P<0.01. Conclusions In the practice of community care services,community nurses should take SE theory as a framework and to improve SWB by a vailety of nursing measures.
