Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2017;26(4):398-401
Objective: To study and analyze the influence of atorvastatin combined trimetazidine on levels of blood lipids,inflammatory factors and cardiac function in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods: A total of 128 CHD patients treated in our hospital from May 2015 to Oct 2016 were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into trimetazidine group (received trimetazidine based on routine treatment) and combined treatment group (received atorvastatin based on trimetazidine group).Both groups were treated for three months.Levels of blood lipids, inflammatory factors and cardiac function were measured and compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results: Compared with trimetazidine group after treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of triglyceride [(2.11±0.73) mmol/L vs.(1.83±0.77)mmol/L], total cholesterol [(5.14±0.96)mmol/L vs.(4.35±0.73)mmol/L], low density lipoprotein cholesterol [(2.35±0.68) mmol/L vs.(1.90±0.34) mmol/L], N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide [(296.61±28.96) pg/ml vs.(187.53±32.63) pg/ml], fibrinogen [(4.44±0.34) g/L vs.(3.63±0.54) g/L] and high sensitive C reactive protein [(2.41±0.96) mg/L vs.(1.96±0.82) mg/L], left ventricular end-diastolic dimension [(59.25±6.17)mm vs.(48.43±4.28)mm] and left ventricular posterior wall thickness [(11.01±1.08)mm vs.(9.05±1.04)mm], and significant rise in level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol [(1.32±0.25)mmol/L vs.(1.47±0.38)mmol/L] and left ventricular ejection fraction [(41.28±7.04)% vs.(48.66±7.54)%] in combined treatment group, P<0.05 or <0.01.Conclusion: Atorvastatin combined trimetazidine can significantly improve blood lipid, inflammatory factor levels,cardiac function and cardiac structure in CHD patients.The therapeutic effect is significant, which is worth extending.
2.The present situation and future of transplantation therapy for follicular lymphoma in the time of rituximab
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(6):335-338
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a subtype of B cell lymphoma,which derived from follicular germinal center.As the most common type of indolent lymphoma,the overall prognosis of FL is good.However,the prognosis of FL is heterogeneous.With the application of rituximab,the therapeutic effect and the prognosis of the disease is further improved.For the relapsed / refractory patients,especially who have received first-line chemotherapy with rituximab in the early,transplantation is an important choice.Compared with the previous conventional myeloablative conditioning regimen,reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) effectively reduced the non-relapse mortality (NRM),extended the allogeneic transplantation recipients,but the high rate of relapse after transplantation is the main defect.The application of donor lymphocyte infusion after transplantation therapy not only can reduce the recurrence rate but also treat the disease relapse.In the future,the improvement of transplantation strategy and the application of new drugs may bring new ideas and opportunities for FL therapy.
3.Comparative analysis on price negotiation models of patented drugs in Korea and Germany and its implications for China
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2015;(10):62-67
Objective: To provide policy recommendations for improving price negotiation system of patented drugs in China. Methods: This paper comparatively analyzes the commonalities and characteristics between Korea’ and Germany’s price negotiation models for patented drugs from three aspects of their goals, procedures and effects. Results:The key objective of both Korea’ and Germany’s price negotiation systems for patented drugs is to efficiently improve the utilization of national health insurance services, and responsibilities are properly assigned among differ-ent institutions to ensure the equity and efficiency of negotiations. However, due to the differences in national cir-cumstances, there is a big difference in the selection of technical assessment criteria. Conclusion: This paper sug-gests China to strengthen the convergence between price negotiations for patented drugs and medical insurance reim-bursement policy, to establish a technical assessment system with the innovation extent for patented drugs as its core, and to develop scientific and rational negotiation procedures and division of responsibilities as well.
4.Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal:a comparative study of root canal cleanness and the amount of apically extruded debris during root canal preparation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(34):5443-5447
BACKGROUND:Amount of debris extruded apicaly is an important indicator to evaluate the effect of root canal preparation instrument. Studies have shown that debris extruded apicaly can cause post-treatment pain, and thus, reducing the amount of debris extruded apicaly can decrease the incidence of post-treatment pain. OBJECTIVE:To compare the root canal cleanness and the amount of apicaly extruded debris during root canal preparation with Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal. METHODS:Forty-five premolars with single canal were divided into three groups randomly, and then prepared by Self-adjusting files, ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal, respectively. Debris extruded apicaly was colected, dried and weighed. Then roots were longitudinaly sectioned and observed under scanning electronic microscope to evaluate the cleanness of the root canal. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The amount of apicaly extruded debris in the ProTaper Universal group was significantly higher than that in the Self-adjusting files group and ProTaper Next group (P < 0.05), but there were no statisticaly significant differences between the groups of Self-adjusting files and ProTaper Next in apicaly extruded debris (P > 0.05). Scores on debris and smear layer were lower in the group of Self-adjusting files than the groups of ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the latter two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that the Self-adjusting files and ProTaper Next can extrude less debris beyond the apical foramen, which may decrease the incidence of post-treatment pain. Cleaning ability of Self-adjusting files is better than ProTaper Next and ProTaper Universal.
