Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) for hypertensive heart dis-ease combined with systolic heart failure. Methods Two patients (mean age 35 years) with hypertensive heart disease com-bined with systolic heart failure on maximal tolerated heart failure therapy underwent bilateral renal denervation. Echocar-diography, the six minute walk distance, renal function, glycosylated hemoglobin and NT-proBNP were assessed at baseline and 1 year after renal denervation. Results Renal artery angiography showed that no stenosis and dissection. After 1 year follow up, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), six minute walk distance and NT-proBNP were significantly im-proved, and the size of left ventricular decreased. Conclusion RDN is effective and feasible for the treatment in patients with hypertensive heart disease and systolic heart failure.

This study was based on the project prophase of expert consultation and literature consult, and aimed to analyze the medicine establishment from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctors, in order to further study the influence of medical insurance on the development of TCM. Detailed suggestions were made in or-der to promote the benign development trend of TCM and medical insurance. Questionnaire survey was used in the investigation on perceptions of TCM related with medical insurance among 253 TCM doctors in appointed medical institution of medical insurance. Data was processed with frequency statistics. The results showed that after becoming the appointed medical institution of medical insurance, the medical insurance patients have become the main service group (73.5%) of hospitals (68.4%) and incomes of TCM doctors (41.9%) have increased, which contribute to TCM hospitals of becoming bigger and stronger (63.6%). The medical insurance patients have chosen TCM treatment main-ly for its curative effect (37.9%) and safety (24.1%). The influence of reimbursement ratio in medical insurance was relatively low (1.2%). The reimbursement range of TCM medical insurance needs to be further expanded, such as Chinese medicine nosocomial preparation (90.5%), decoction preparation fee (78.3%), and etc. It was concluded that under the background of universal health coverage, medical insurance plays a more and more important role in the development of TCM. And TCM should ensure its safety and improve its curative effect through the standardization of TCM and other measures. Meanwhile, the formulation of medical security policy and medical insurance management service standards should also consider the characteristics of TCM, and encourage the service of TCM.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of short-term application of atorvastatin combined with ezetimibe on efficacy and related indicators of patients with primary nephrotic syndrome with hyperlipidemia. METHODS:Data of 50 patients with prima-ry nephrotic syndrome with hyperlipidemia were retrospectively collected and divided into combination group and control group ac-cording different treatment,25 cases in each group. All patients received low-salt,low-fat ,high-quality protein,giving prednisone 1 mg/(kg·d),po,qd,combined with anticoagulation,diuretic,anti-infection,taking cytotoxic drugs if necessary. Based on it, control group received Atorvastatin calcium tablet 20 mg before going to bed,qd;combination group received Atorvastatin calcium tablet(the same dosage and usage with control group)+Ezetimibe tablet 10 mg,qd. They were treated for 2 weeks. Lipid-lowering efficacy and low-density lipoprotein(LDL-C),triglyceride(TG),cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein(HDL-C),24 h uri-nary protein (M-TP),serum albumin,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen before and after treatment in 2 groups were observed and the incidence of adverse reaction was recorded. RE-SULTS:There was no significant differences in the total effective rate of Lipid-lowering in 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment, LDL-C,TC and HDL-C in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,Alb in combination group and ALT in 2 groups were sig-nificantly higher than before,with statistical significance(P<0.05),while there were no significant difference in 2 groups(P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in the TG,M-TP,AST,serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen before and after treatment(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Atorvastatin combined with ezetimibe can improve the blood lipid of patients with primary nephrotic syndrome with hyperlipidemia,while showing similar efficacy and safety with atorvastatin alone in a short term.
