Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2011;10(8):552-554
Objective To explore cardiovascular risk factors in patients of hypertension (HTN) complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase. Methods Forty-four cases (control group) of uncomplicated hypertension and 56 cases (study group) of hypertension complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase were screened from those who visited physical examination center of the hospital for regular checks-up during October 2009 to June 2010. Blood pressure ( BP), body mass index ( BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total serum cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG), highdensity lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C ), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C ), gammaglutamyltransferase ( GGT ), uric acid ( UA ) , highly-sensitive C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP) and homocysteine (Hey) of the two groups were compared. Results Comparing with the control group, the study group had higher diastolic blood pressure ( DBP) (t = 1898. 5, P < 0. 05) , BMI (t = - 5. 036, P < 0.01), FPG (t= -2.026, P<0.05), TG (t = 1923. 5, P<0.05), GGT (t = 1789, P <0.01), UA 0 = 1715, P<0.01), hs-CRP (t = 1832.5, P < 0.01) and lower level of HDL-C (t =2357.0, P< 0. 01). Serum activity of GGT correlated positively with BMI (rs = 0. 349, P = 0. 000), TG ( rs = 0.413,P =0.000), UA (rs =0.446, P= 0.000) and hs-CRP (rs =0.350, P = 0.000), respectively.Conclusions When patients of hypertension complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase, their cardiovascular risk factors clustered further, with serum activity of GGT obviously increased which correlated positively with various risk factors, indicating increase in cardiovascular risks.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antipsychotic drugs in schizophrenia patients. METHODS:The general information and antipsychotic treatment information,which were extracted from the database of prior drug investigation in Mental Health Center of Hebei Province in 2002,2006 and investigation data in 2012 of 5014 schizophrenia patients,were ana-lyzed. RESULTS:Over time,the frequency of the first generation antipsychotic drugs decreased(P<0.05),while that of the sec-ond generation antipsychotic drugs increased (P<0.01). The frequency of long-acting antipsychotic drugs were generally low among outpatients and inpatients in 2002,2006,2012,with statistical significance(P<0.01). There were no significant difference in the proportion of outpatients receiving antipsychotic drugs combination treatment and monotherapy (P>0.05). Over time,the proportion of inpatients receiving monotherapy decreased,while that of inpatients receiving combination treatment increased (χ2=18.682,P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The second generation antipsychotic drugs have gradually replaced the first generation antipsy-chotic drugs,and have became the leading drugs in the treatment of schizophrenia in Hebei province. The proportion of inpatients receiving combination treatment has increased,which is different from the domestic and foreign prevention and treatment guide-lines.

Objective: To investigate the dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes of head-up tilt test in patients with suspected vasovagal syncope. Methods: A total of 502 outpatients of our hospital with suspicious vasovagal syncope from 2015-08 to 2016-12 were enrolled. All patients received head-up tilt test with synchronization of 12 lead ECG. Based on head-up tilt test result, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Positive group,n=244 and Negative group,n=258. The P wave duration, corrective QT (QTc) duration and P wave axis in ECG were compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with Negative group, Positive group had the longer P wave duration (95.65±38.50) ms vs (88.61±17.09) ms,P<0.05; P wave axis was right shifted before syncope (69.87±18.18)° vs (66.82±16.51)° , while left shifted during syncope (62.87±25.39)° vs (68.47±15.30)° and after syncope (56.87±22.45)° vs (68.49±16.35)°, allP<0.05; the shorter QTc duration before syncope (418.69±92.35) ms vs (435.76±59.29) ms,P<0.05. Conclusion: The patients with vasovagal syncope had some speciifc ECG features during head-up tilt test including P wave duration, P wave axis and QTc duration, those may play certain forewarning function for vasovagal syncope onset.
