1.Clinic study on treating of cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis by atorvastatin combined naoxintong capsule
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(3):391-393
Objective To investigate the effect of Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule treats to cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis.Methods 134 patients with cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis were diagnosed by MRI or CT scan.They were randomly divided into two groups.67 cases were given atorvastatin versus aspirin received routine treatment in the control group and 67 cases were used Naoxintong capsule in observation group on the basis of routine treatment in the observation group.The blood lipid,serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level,neural function defect score (NIHSS),carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) were comperred before and after treatment in two groups for treated with 1 courses (6 months).Results The blood lipid had no significant difference between two groups before and after treatment (P < 0.05).The IMT,NIHSS score of high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels had no significant difference in two groups before and after treatment (P < 0.05).The scores of NIHSS,IMT,high sensitive C-reactive protein level respectively (10.08 ± 1.82) %,(1.06 ± 0.13)mm,(3.89 ± 1.41) mg/L of observation group were more decreased significantly than the control group (respectively (13.92 ±2.01)%,(1.24 ±0.15)mm,(5.02 ± 1.52) mg/L after treatment.Conclusion Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule in treatment of cerebral infarction and carotid artery gruel kind hardening shows good therapeutic effect,it is worth for clinical use.

Objective To explore the role of matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9)and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1)in patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (AECOPD)treated with glucocorticoids.Methods The serum levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were measured by ELISA in 41 patients with AECOPD before and after treatment with glucocorticoids and in 40 patients with regular methods(control group).Results ①After treatment with glucocorticoids,the serum levels of MMP-9(189.25±52.38)μg/L、TIMP-1(198.38±43.45)μg/L,ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1(0.92±0.37)were decreased significantly than before((246.10±68.64)μg/L,(217.63±62.34)μg/L,(1.09±0.23))(P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.05);but there were no differences(P>0.05)in regular methods(control group);② After treatment with glucoeorticoids, FEV_1、FEV_1%((0.83±0.35)L,(46±17)%)were impmved than before((0.72±0.48)L,(34±15)%)(P<0.05).Conclusions After treatment with glucocorticoids,the serum levels of MMP-9、TIMP-1、ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 from patients with COPD were decreased significandy,and FEV_1、FEV_1%were improved significant;Glucocorticoids can alleviate severs AECOPD to some degrees,which might be related to improving the imbalance of MMP-9/TIMP-1.
