Objective To investigate the dynamic changes in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the outcome of patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) after the treatment with metoprolol. Methods Sixty-five patients with CHF were admitted to the Forth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during April 2004 to April 2007, and they fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of chronic CHF issued by New York Heart Association (NYHA). Of all the patients the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) ≥65mm. All the patients were randomly assigned into metoprolol group (34 cases) and control group (31 cases), and received conventional therapies [rest, reduced sodium intake, administration of digitalis, diuretic, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and aldosterone antagonists, etc.]. The patients in metoprolol group were given metoprolol (6.25mg as initiative dose and dose was increased according to illness). NYHA functional classitication, cardiothoracic ratio on chest X-ray film, cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and LVEDD in echocardiogram were observed, and the plasma BNP level was determined with an immunoradiometric assay (IRMA). Results After 5 months of treatment, the clinical symptoms of patients were improved obviously and p1asma BNP level was significantly lowered in both groups, while p1asma BNP level was significantly lower in metoprolol group compared with control group (200.6?12.1 vs 120.7?14.1, P

Objective To discuss the efficacy of alprostadil and levocarnitine in treatment of chronic renal failure combined with heart failure.Methods Totally 80 patients with chronic renal failure complicated with heart failure were selected,and randomly divided into two groups.The control group (39 cases) was given alprostadil.The observation group (41 cases) was given alprostadil and levocarnitine.The efficacy of alprostadil and levocamitine in treatment of chronic renal failure combined with heart failure was evaluated by cardiac fimction indexes,renal function indexes,SF-36 scale score,and adverse reaction during the treatment.Results Before treatment,there was no statistical significance on CO,CI,MVO,and EF between two groups.After treatment,the CO,CI,and MVO were decreased and lower in the observation group (P ＜ 0.05).The EF was increased in the observation group and higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The EF had no changes in the control group.Before treatment,there was no statistical significance on CysC,BUN,and SCr between two groups before treatment,without statistical significance.After treatment,CysC,BUN,and SCr were decreased in two groups and lower in the observation group (P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistical significance on SF-36 scores between two groups.After treatment,the physiological function,physical function,and general health were higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical significance on the rest of the scores.During treatment,there was no statistical significance on adverse reaction between two groups.Conclusion Alprostadil and levocarnitine had a good curative effect on chronic renal failure combined with heart failure.It could improve the heart function by reducing cardiac load,improve the renal function by increasing glomerular filtration rate and improve the quality of life with good safety.It is worthy of clinical application.

? AlM: To examine choroidal thickness and its relationship with axial length and spherical equivalent by spectral domain optical coherence tomography ( SD -OCT ) in patients with myopic choroidal neovascularization ( mCNV) .
?METHODS: We prospectively recruited 30 cases of mCNV in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from October 2010 to December 2014. SD-OCT was used to measure choroidal thickness subfoveally and at 1. 5mm superiorly, inferiorly, nasally and temporally ( SFCT, SCT1. 5mm , lCT1. 5mm , NCT1. 5mm , TCT1. 5mm ) . Paired t- test was conducted to assess the difference of spherical equivalent, axial length and choroidal thickness between mCNV group and controls. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between spherical equivalent, axial length, choroidal thickness and mCNV.
?RESULTS: The difference of spherical equivalent and axial length between mCNV group and controls was not significant (P>0. 05). lnferior was decreased in mCNV group compared with controls (140. 85±33. 46μm vs 168. 95±45. 36μm). The difference was significant (P=0. 008). Logistic regression demonstrated that decreased choroidal thickness ( lCT1. 5mm ) at inferior location was associated with mCNV (OR=2. 12;95%CI 1. 35~3. 28;P=0. 02).
?CONCLUSlON: The decrease of lCT1. 5MM may be one of the risk factors of mCNV.

Objective To investigate the relationship between diastolic function of the left ventricle and common carotid artery (CCA) elasticity in patients with hypertension. Methods Forty-one primary hypertension patients and 31 healthy volunteers underwent echocardiography to obtain the indices of LV diastolic function and also echo tracking techniqne (ET) to obtain the CCA elasticity indices. The LV diastolic function indices included Ve (early diastolic peak velocity), Va (late diastolic peak velocity ), Ve/Va, Em (early diastolic mitral annular motive velicity), Am (late diastolic mitral annular motive velicity) and Em/Am. The indices of CCA elasticity included Ep (pressure-strain elasticity modulus), β(stiffness parameter), AC (arterial compliance), AI (augmentation index) and PWVβ (pulse wave velocity). Results Va was higher and Em, Ve/Va and Em/Am were lower in patients than that in the healthy , P＜0.05. Ep and PWVβ were higher in patients,P＜0.05. Am and Va were correlated positively with PWV β and Ep , respectively in patients, P＜0.05. Ve/Va was correlated positively with AC, and negatively with PWV β, P＜0.05 in patients. Em/Am was correlated negatively with β and PWV β in patients. Conclusions The LV diastolic function and common carotid artery elasticity were decreased in patients with hypertension. The decreased common carotid artery elasticity was along with the LV diastolic function decreased.

Silent information regulator protein 1 (SlRT1) is one of the sirtuins and belongs to histone deacetyase. lts activity depends on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ( NAD+) and is regulated by NAD+. Experimental and clinical studies have shown the neuro-protective effect of SlRT1 in the pathogenesis of age-related eye diseases. ln this review, the relationship between SlRT1 activator and apoptosis in the retinal cells were discussed. The review also points to SlRT1 as a potential therapeutic target for the clinical management of age-related retinal disease.
