OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effect of qi benefiting blood activating method (QB-BAM) on acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients with blood stasis syndrome (BSS) by observing its effect on plasma fibrinogen (Fg) and D-dimer (D-D) levels.

METHODSSixty AECOPD patients with BSS were randomly assigned to the treated group and the control group, 30 in each group. All patients received conventional therapy for AECOPD. Those in the treated group were additionally injected with Shengmai Injection and Tanshinone IIA Injection. Clinical efficacy and indices including levels of Fg, D-D, PaO2, and PaCO2 were measured and compared before and after treatment.

RESULTSThe effective rate was 93.3% (28/30 cases) in the treated group, higher than that of the control group [73.3% (22/30 cases) , P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in all indices between the treated group and the control group before treatment (P >0.05). After treatment all indices were significantly improved in the two groups (P < 0.01). But in the treated group levels of Fg and D-D decreased more and levels of PaO2 increased more (P < 0.01). Plasma levels of Fg and D-D levels were negatively correlated with PaO2 (r = -0.493, r = -0.438, P < 0.01) before treatment, and also negatively correlated with PaO2 (r = -0.452, r = -0.325, P < 0.01, P < 0.05) after treatment, but they were not significantly correlated with PaCO2 before and after treatment (P >0.05).

CONCLUSIONSQBBAM could play a therapeutic role in improving prethrombotic states of AECOPD patients with BSS. Plasma levels of Fg and D-D were related to the severity of AECOPD.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate relationship between ApoE gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD).

METHODSMeta-analysis was applied with a random-effect model for the collected data.

RESULTSDifference in pooled frequencies, d, of apoE genotypes E3/2, E4/2, E3/3, E4/3 and E4/4 between case and control groups were 2.3%, -0.8%, -8.5%, 10.5% and 0.9%, respectively. Difference in pooled frequencies, d, of apoE alleles epsilon2, epsilon3 and epsilon4 were -1.5%, -4.2% and 5.8%, respectively, with a statistical significance between four groups.

CONCLUSIONSapoE gene polymorphism was involved in coronary heart disease. Persons with apoE E3/3 genotype or epsilon3 allele were not susceptible to CHD, but those with apoE E4/4 genotype or epsilon4 allele had higher risk suffering from CHD than others.
