Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2017;24(6):861-865
Objective To investigate the influence of rosuvastatin on inflammatory factors and immune func-tion in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)with pulmonary heart disease.Methods 80 COPD patients with pulmonary heart disease were randomly divided into two groups,40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional medicine comprehensive treatment,the observation group was given rosuvastatin based on the control group.The inflammatory cytokines (TNF -α,IL -1 and hs -CRP)changes,immunoglobulin IgM,IgG and IgA changes situation,and heart,lung function changes related indicators were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.Results After treatment,the TNF -α,IL -1 and hs CRP levels of the observation group were significantly lower than those before treatment(t =145.5,35.35,57.5,all P <0.05)and those of the control group(t =160.75,11.45,32.99,all P <0.05).After treatment,the IgM,IgG and IgA levels of the observa-tion group were significantly lower than those before treatment (t =4.89 of 18.29,3.42,all P <0.05)and those of the control group (t =2.55 9.67,2.342,all P <0.05 ).After treatment,the FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC and LVEF of the observation group were significantly higher than those before treatment(t =40.44 33.64,33.79,all P <0.05),while the PAP level was significantly lower than that before treatment (t =24.12,P <0.05),and the FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC and LVEF of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group after treatment(t =16.30, 15.82,18.72,all P <0.05),while the PAP level was significantly lower than that of the control group after treatment (t =13.43,P <0.05).Conclusion Combined rosuvastatin therapy for COPD patients with pulmonary heart disease can effectively reduce body inflammatory response,improve immune function and myocardial contractility,so it can promote functional recovery of heart and lung in patients.

Acute superior mesenteric artery embolism(MAE) is uncommon in clinical, but is a severe surgical abdomen. Owing to its unfamiliarity, clinicians often made misdiagnosis. This report summarized the experience in diagnosis and surgical therapy of 25 cases of acute superior mesenteric artery embolism. The results suggested that patients with a history of heart and peripheral arterial obstructive disease encountering severe abdominal pain and hemorrhage of digestive tract, which could not be relieved by narcotics, should be considered as early signs of acute superior mesenteric artery embolism. Twenty-three were operated out of the 25 cases, among tham, 5 cases were subjected to resection of partial small intestine after removal of the embolus, 18 cases received bowel resection. In the 23 cases of MAE, 10 were cured and 13 died, the mortality in perioperative period was 57%. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are the key to improve the therapeutic effects of AME.

The identification of the relationships between mutations of the bone morphogenetic protein type Ⅱ receptor (BMPR2) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been considered to be one of the most significant discoveries in this area in the 21st century. And BMPR2 mutation is responsible for the majority of hereditary PAH as well as some of idiopathic PAH. Furthermore, clinical and animal expreimental research over the past few years has revealed that BMPR2 signaling pathway plays a critical role in the initiation and progress of PAH, by participateing in the pathogenesis of PAH. In addition, the potential that BMPR2 signaling pathway is used as a therapeutic target is being evaluated. This review summarizes our current understanding of the role of BMPR2 mutations in PAH from the perspectives of genetics, epigenetics, inflammation as well as interactions with other significant pathways.

Objective To study the outward potassium current in myocytes from septic shock rats and the effects of adrenomedullin(ADM).Methods Ventricular myocytes were isolated from adult rats 4 h after an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS,10 mg/kg).Transient outward K~+ current(I_(to)),steady-state K+ current(I_(ss))and ATP sensitive potassium current(I_(K,ATP))were recorded using whole cell patch-clamp methods.Results LPS treatment had no effect on Ito and Iss.The I_(K,ATP) density in septic shock group[(2.66±0.56) pA/pF,n=12]was significantly higher than that in control group[(0.27±0.08) pA/pF,n=14,P<0.01].The ADM antagonist ADM-(22-52)significantly reversed the increased I_(K,ATP)[(0.69±0.21) pA/pF,n=11,P<0.01 vs LPS group]in shock myocytes.I_(K,ATP) density was lower in LPS plus aminoguanidine myocytes[(0.77±0.18) pA/pF,n=10,P<0.01 vs LPS group]than that in LPS myocytes.ADM-(22-52)and 100 μmol/L aminoguanidine could completely abolish the increase in I_(K,ATP).Conclusion I_(K,ATP) was activated in myocytes from septic shock rats.Adrenomedullin along with NO precipitated activation of the I_(K,ATP) in rat ventricular myocytes during septic shock.

Aim To investigate the changes in the expression of protein kinase C gamma (PKC?), phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein(pCREB)and immediate-early gene(c-fos and c-jun) in the spinal cord in formalin-induced inflammatory pain and study the effect of agmatine on the changes of PKC? activation, phosphorylation of CREB and expression of c-fos and c-jun.Methods Rats were decapitated at 10, 20 min or 2 h after intraplantar injection of 50 ?l 5% formalin and L_4, 5 spinal cords were dissected. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting analyses were used to observe the expression of PKC?, pCREB, c-fos and c-jun in the spinal dorsal horn and the effect of agmatine on the changes of their expression. Results Unilateral peripheral inflammation induced PKC? activation and CREB phosphorylation bilaterally while c-fos and c-jun expression ipsilaterally in rat spinal cord. PKC activity increased in membrane fractions with unchanged levels in the cytosolic fractions. Pretreatment intraperitoneally with 160 mg?kg-1 agmatine 15 min before inflammation significantly inhibited the activation of PKC? in the membrane fraction, suppressed the phosphorylation of CREB and the expression of c-fos and c-jun. Conclusion The mechanism of the analgesic effect of agmatine may be associated with inhibiting PKC? activation in the plasma membrane, CREB phosphorylation, c-fos and c-jun up-regulation which play roles in the hyperalgesia with peripheral inflammation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between immune cell function and the infection after renal transplantation through monitoring of immune function intracellular ATP by Cylex ImmuKnow assay,and explore its significance in individual immunosuppressive therapy of renal transplantion recipients.Method We collected 44 renal transplant patients suffered from pulmonary infection from January 2014 to March 2015.The patients were divided into two groups according to the clinical status,namely,ImmuKnow monitoring group (n =22) and empirical treatment group (n =22).Thirty-two non-infection recipients were collected as controls.All the kidney transplantation recipients received immunosuppressive therapy based on calcineurin inhibitors,mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone,and ATG for induction therapy after transplantatior.The immune cell function levels were measured by Cylex ImmuKnow assay.The whole blood samples were collected before infection onset,at the time of infection,and 1 week after infection resolution.Result When infection occurred,ATP concentrations in CD4+ T cells of the kidney transplant recipients were significantly lower than those in non-infection group [(151.30--71.35 ng/mL vs.(308.34 ± 141.29 ng/mL,P<0.05).When the infection got controlled,the ATP concentrations in CD4+ T cells increased to those before infection occurred.The average hospitalization time in ImmuKnow monitoring group was 12.27 ± 0.74 days,which was significantly shorter than in empirical treatment group (16.64 ± 1.98 days,P< 0.05).The incidence of acute rejection was 4.5% in ImmuKnow monitoring group,and 13.6% in empirical treatment group (P>0.05).Conclusion The examination of ATP in CD4+ T cells by Cylex Immuknow assay could reflect the status of cellular immunity,provide reliable and objective basis for the diagnosis and treatment of infection after renal transplantation,and guide the clinical individualized immunosuppressive therapy.
