OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of long-term follow-up of Valsartan and amlodipine tablets(Ⅰ)on blood pressure control and renal protection of patients with refractory hypertension. METHODS:120 patients with refractory hypertension were di-vided into control group and observation group according to the patients’wishes,with 60 cases in each group. All patients accepted the triple therapy of amlodipine+valsartan+hydrochlorothiazide and life-style intervention;at the time of discharge from hospital, the blood pressure was well controlled. After discharge from hospital,control group was given amlodipine;observation group was given Valsartan and amlodipine tablet (Ⅰ) orally,1 tablet each time,qd,and dose increasing according to blood pressure,with maximal dose no more than 2 tablets. With 18 months of follow-up,blood pressure and renal function indexes of 2 groups were ob-served at different time points,and blood pressure control rate and the rate of renal function injury were also observed at the last follow-up;the occurrence of ADR was observed. RESULTS:2 cases and 3 cases were follow-up loss in observation group and con-trol group,respectively. With 12 and 18 months of follow-up,24 h systolic pressure,24 h diastolic pressure and 24 h urine protein of 2 groups increased significantly while creatinine clearance rate decreased significantly compared with before discharge;but the in-dexes of observation group was better than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). At last follow-up,the rate of blood pressure in observation group was significantly higher than in control group(84.5% vs. 52.6%),the rate of renal function injury was significantly lower than control group(8.6% vs. 24.6%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statisti-cal significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Valsartan amlodipine tablet(Ⅰ)has obvi-ous advantages in long-term follow-up of blood pressure control of patients with refractory hypertension. It can significantly reduce the incidence of renal function injury with good safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Qingzhuo Qudu Pills combined with acupuncture in treating chronic nonbacterial prostatitis and to explore the possible molecular mechanism. Methods A total of 160 cases of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis were randomly divided into western medicine group, Chinese medicine group, acupuncture group and combined group, 40 cases in each group. The western medicine group was given Tamsulosin and Celecoxib tablets orally, Chinese medicine group was given Qingzhuo Qudu Pills, acupuncture group were given acupuncture, and the combined group were given Qingzhuo Qudu Pills plus acupuncture. Treatment period covered 30 days. Before and after treatment, the clinical efficiency of the four groups was assessed by the US National Institutes of Health chronic prostatitis symptom index ( NIH-CPSI) scores, and routine prostatic fluid examiantion and drug safety assessment were also carried out. Results ( 1) The total effective rate was 69.23%, 84.62%, 74.36% and 92.50% in the western medicine group, Chinese medicine group, acupuncture group and combined group, respectively; the combined group had the best clinical efficiency ( P<0.05) , and then came Chinese medicine group ( P<0.05) , but the difference between acupuncture group and western medicine group was insignificant (P>0.05). (2) After treatment, the total scores and scores of each item of NIH-CPSI were decreased in the four groups ( P<0.05 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement of general symptoms, the quality of life, pain and urination in the combined group was superior to that in the other 3 groups ( P<0.05) . ( 3) After treatment, levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) were decreased to various degrees (P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with those before treatment), and the decrease in the combined group was superior to that in the other 3 groups (P<0.05). (4) The blood, urine and stool routine examination, electrocardiography, hepatic and renal function of the 4 groups stayed normal before and after treatment, and no adverse reaction was present in the 160 cases. Conclusion Qingzhuo Qudu Pills combined with acupuncture is safe and effective in treating chronic non-bacterial prostatitis through relieving symptoms and reducing the degrees of prostatitis. Cytokines may play an important role in the pathogenesis and treatment of chronic prostatitis.

The glomerular synapses of the substantia gelatinosa in the spinal trigeminal nucleus of the rat were examined by electron microscopy. The central axonal ending in the glomcruli forms asymmetrical axodendritic synapses on adjacent type 1 and type 2 dendrites. Type 2 dendritic spines or shafts (dendrites which contain synaptic vesicles) form dendrodendritic synapses on Type 1 dendritic spine or shafts (dendrites without synaptic vesicles) and also form dendroaxonic synapses on the central ending. The peripheral terminals (P) form symmetrical axoaxonic synapses on the central ending and form axodendritic synapses on the dendrites in the glomeruli.

Objective To study the protective effect of pure carbachol or combined with dietary fiber on intestinal mucosal barrier of rats after diffuse brain injury (DBI).Methods An adult male Wistar rat model of DBI was reproduced by gravitational shock method. The rats injured and survived after resuscitation were divided into three groups: model group (n = 40), carbachol group (n = 40) and carbachol combined with dietary fiber group (combined group,n = 32). In addition, a control group was established by simply an incision performed on the scalp, and the rats could drink freely (n = 5). In the experimental groups, 2 hours after resuscitation the rats began to receive gavage, 6 hours once, the liquid amount 15 mL/kg should be assured in every 6 hours, and if insufficient, normal saline was supplemented. In model group, normal saline 90 mL/kg was given, in carbachol group, carbachol 300μg/kg was administered and in combined group, carbachol 300μg/kg combined with dietary fiber 60 mL/kg was supplied. At 3 (combined group being excluded), 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after resuscitation, the rats were anesthetized to collect samples and detect the plasma levels of D-lactate and activity of diamine oxidase (DAO) respectively, and the changes of villus height of small intestine were examined by a light microscope.Results The plasma D-lactate levels and the activities of DAO at any time point in the experimental groups were significant higher than those in control group (allP < 0.01). Along with the prolongation of time, the levels of plasma D-lactate and DAO activities in carbachol and carbachol plus diatary fiber groups were gradually lower than those of the model group, and at 48 hours after injury they reached their valley values [D-lactate (ng/L): 6.32±0.79, 7.46±1.67 vs. 17.65±1.53, DAO activity (kU/L): 0.76±0.01, 0.86±0.01 vs. 2.23±0.15]. Under light microscopy, compared with control group, the villus height of small intestinal mucosa at any time point in any experimental group was gradually lowered, and reached the valley values at 12 hours, then gradually increased , and peaked at 48 hours, the villus height in carbachol group and combined group was higher than that in model group (μm: 265.36±10.20, 261.54±10.38 vs. 247.51±9.39, bothP < 0.05).Conclusion When only carbachol is administered into the rat intestine early after diffuse brain injury in rats, beginning from 6 hours after injury, the protective effect of intestinal mucosal barrier is shown, representing decrease of plasma D-lactate level and DAO activity, amelioration of intestinal mucosal damage and protection of intestinal mucosal barrier; under the same above situation, the carbachol combined with dietary fiber was applied, showing the similar above carbachol protective effects.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and its related factors.Methods A total of 672 subjects aged 60 or over undergoing health check-up in two Nanjing community health service centers from November 2015 to October 2016 were enrolled in the study.The basic information and the history of hyperlipidemia,hypertension and diabetes were collected by questionnaire survey;the results of physical examination and biochemical testing were documented.The prevalence of anxiety and depression were investigated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).According to MS diagnostic criteria,the subjects were divided into MS group (n=181) and non-MS group (n=491).The HADS scores of two groups were compared and the influencing factors related to anxiety and depression were analyzed.Results The levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),body mass index(BMI),levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG),triglyceride (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were higher and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was lower in MS group than those in non-MS group (all P<0.05).The prevalence rates of anxiety and depression in MS group (30.9% and 34.8%) were significantly higher than those in non-MS group (20.2% vs.25.1%,χ2=8.655,6.288,P=0.003,0.012).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that obesity (BMI≥28 kg/m2),high FBG (≥7.0 mmol/L),hypertension [blood Pressure≥140/90 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)] were the independent risk factors for anxiety in MS patients (OR=3.987,2.827,2.375,respectively,all P<0.05);obesity (BMI≥28 kg/m2),high FBG(≥7.0 mmol/L),smoke,high TC (≥5.2 mmol/L),hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg) were the independent risk factors for depression in MS patients (OR=7.718,3.233,2.071,1.932,1.910,respectively,all P<0.05).Conclusion Elderly patients with metabolic syndrome are prone to anxiety and depression,and obesity,high FBG,hypertension and other factors are the risk factors for anxiety and depression.
