Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of creatine phosphate sodium (CP, Neoton) at early stage of myocardium diastolic dysfunction. Methods: A total of 138 cases with myocardium diastolic dysfunction were divided into CP group (n=109) and routine treatment group (n=29). All the patients received routine treatment. The CP group received CP treatment based on routine treatment(CP 2g+5%glucose or 0.9% sodium chloride 100ml, iv. drip, for patients with mild diastolic dysfunction was 1time/d, patients with moderate diastolic dysfunction was 2 times/d), duration was 7~14 days. Color-coded Doppler echocardiography was used to detect transmitral peak early diastolic velocity (E-wave),transmitral peak late diastolic velocity (A-wave),peak early diastolic velocity of mitral annulus (Ea), and peak late diastolic velocity of mitral annulus(Aa), and the value of E/A ,Ea/Aa and E/Ea were calculated. Symptoms, signs and items from echocardiography were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, all symptoms and signs of patients in two groups significantly improved (P<0.05~0.01), and the marked effective rate in CP group was significantly higher than that of routine treatment group (96.2% vs. 57.1%, P<0.01). In CP group, the marked effective rate of E/A (81.65% vs. 10.34%), Ea/Aa (83.49% vs. 13.79%) and E/Ea (92.86% vs. 12.00%) were significantly higher than those in routine treatment group (P<0.01all). Conclusion: Creatine phosphate possesses marked effect for improve patient’s condition and diastolic dysfunction.

3.Safety and feasibility of Szabo technique in percutaneous coronary intervention of coronary artery ostial lesions
Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2011;20(1):54-59
Background and Object: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on ostial lesions in coronary arteries associated with higher procedural difficulty and complication morbility. It has been technically difficult because it should be done with precise stent placement in ostium and absence of side branch compromise. The Szabo technique consists of side branch wiring through most proximal stent strut as well as main branch wiring through stent lumen. The side branch wire or anchor wire prevents stent advancement beyond ostial segment and makes possible the accurate stent implantation in ostium. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and success rate of Szabo technique by analysing technical, angiographic and IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasonography) findings. Methods: The data of 39 PCIs in 39 patients with a significant lesion at a coronary artery ostium which was treated percutaneously using Szabo technique were retrospectively analysed. The technically successful procedure was defined as there was neither stent loss nor second guide wire pull back during stent advancement. A successful procedure from angiographic point of view was defined as a precise stent implantation at ostium without side branch compromise. Successful procedure from IVUS point of view was defined as accurate stent placement in ostium without proximal protrusion and without any stent uncovered area. A total of 39 patients was with 28 males and 11 females. They aged from 43 to 79 years with a mean age of (65±12)years. The 6F and 7F guiding catheter were used in 35 (89.7%) and 4 (10.3%) patients separately. The access was radial in 31 (79.5%) and femoral in 8 (20.5%) patients. The culprit vessel was left anterior descending (LAD) in 26(66.7%), right coronary artery (RCA) 5 (12.8%), circumflex-obtuse marginal (LCX-OM) 3(7.7%), and posterior descending (PDA) 5(12.8%). IVUS was performed through culprit vessel in 30 (76.9%) and was also done in side branch in 9 (23.1%) patients after stent implantation. Results The procedure was technically successful in 36 (92.3%) patients. All technically successful patients had angiographic success (100%). IVUS examination of culprit vessel showed accurate stent placement in ostium 29 (96.7%) and slight stent proximal protrusion in 1(3.3%) patients. No serious complication occured. Conclusions This study shows that Szabo technique is safe and feasible for PCI in ostial coronary artery lesions with a high angiographic success rate,its deserved to spread.

Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2011;20(4):293-299
Objective: To explore relation among abnormal pulse pressure (PP) and cardiovascular risk factors, cardiac function in Tibetan adults through survey on distributive characteristics of PP in Tibetan adults from Songpan county, Sichuan province in China. Methods: An cross-section study was carried out in Songpan county, Sichuan province of China. Questionnaire investigation and Physical examination were performed by multi-phase, stratified, unequal proportional and random cluster sampling to investigate 1015 Tibetan adults aged 18~74 years. Results: In Songpan county the average PP is (45.59±14.22)mmHg ; the incidence rate of abnormal PP was 14.09%(143/1015). Multifactor linear regression and Logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal PP was positively related with age (OR=1.05, P<0.05) and negatively related with level of high density lipoprotein (OR=-2.69, P<0.05). Compare with normal PP group, systemic vascular resistance [SVR, (1112.61±346.74) kPa/L vs. (1308.27±354.87) kPa/L, t=-4.87] significantly increased, levels of cardiac index [CI, (3.55±1.00) L/min•m2 vs. (3.22±0.54) L/min•m2, t=3.08] and stroke index [SI, (45.68±12.76) ml/m2 vs. (39.45±9.52) ml/m2, t=4.37] significantly decreased in abnormal PP group (P<0.05 all). Conclusion: Abnormal PP is common in Chinese Tibetan adults aged 18~74 years, which associated with cardiovascular risk factors and change of cardiac function. Health management for Tibetan adults with abnormal PP is strongly advocated.
