ObjectiveTo investigate the value of urinary BNP for diagnosis of chronic heart failure (CHF). MethodsThe levels of Urinary BNP and plasma BNP were measured by microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) in 83 patients with CHF and 30 control subjects. The heart function was classified according totheNYHAcriteria. Leftventricularejectionfractions(LVEF)weremeasuredby echocardiology. ResultsThe level of urinary BNP in patients with CHF was[90. 0(38. 3 -209. 5 )]ng/L and the level of plasma BNP was[680. 0 ( 289. 7 - 1543.5)]ng/L, both of them were much higher than those in healthy subjects,[17. 0 ( 13.0 - 33. 0)]ng/L and[84. 5 ( 56. 0 - 158.0 )]ng/L, respectively (P<0. 01 ). The concentrations of urinary BNP increased gradually with more severe symptoms ( NYHA cl ass Ⅰ -ⅣV ). The level of urinary BNP was positively correlated with NYHA class ( r = 0. 742, P < 0. 01 )and the level of plasma BNP (r =0. 842,P <0. 01 ) while negatively related with LVEF (r = -0. 801 ,P <0. 01 ). The level of urinary BNP in patients with LVEF < 40% was[143.0 ( 85. 0 - 258.0)]ng/L , which was much higher than that in patients with LVEF≥40% ,[31.5( 17.3 -38. 8)]ng/L, (P <0. 01 ). At a decision threshold of 36. 5 ng/L, the urine BNP assay demonstrated a clinical sensitivity and specificity of 84% and 80% ,respectively. In this study,the area under the curve(AUC) was 0. 905. ConclusionUrinary BNP is a new candidate marker for the diagnosis of CHF,it provides a similar accuracy with plasma BNP.

20 adult healthy rats were used for microelectropheretic delivery of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The diameter of the tip of the glass electrode was around 20~50?. It was inserted into nucleus raphe magnus, 20% HRP was delivered microelectrophoretically(5 ?A for 30 min; 10 ?A for 10 min). In eight rats the microelectrode was withdrawn immediately after the delivery and in the rest it was removed 10~20 minutes after delivery. Afterward the animals were allowed to survive for 40 hrs before decapitation, except 2 for 20 and 2 for 60 hrs. The brains were dissected out for cryostat sections and DAB reaction for peroxidase.The tip of the electrode was located in the nucleus raphe magnus, at the level of nucleus facialis. The diameter of the brain tissues occupied by HRP at the points of microelectophoretic delivery was 0.2~0.4mm and the maximum reached 0.6~0.7mm. The exogenous HRP granules were not visible in the cases with electrodes withdrawn immeditely after delivery and in the survivors of 60 hrs. In most cases the electrodes were left inside for more than 10 minutes after the delivery. The exogenous HRP granules were large, coarse, brown, steroscopic and distributed evenly in the perikaryon of some neurons in several levels of the brain. Those in the axon and dentrite were distributed just like strings of pearls. There were much more neurons with exogenous HRP positive granules dispersed in the reticular formation of the medula oblongata, most of them were polydendritic. Small and fusiformed HRP-positive cells are observed occasionally in the gray substance of subventriculum, reticular formation pontis and ventrolateral side of locus coeruleus. Weaker reactions were found in a few cells in the periaquaductous gray substance of the midbrain, nucleus raphe centro-superior, substantia nigra pars compacta and in the area around the nucleus supraopticus. Besides no HRP-positive cells were discovered in thalamus and subcortex structure.There were two types of cells with HRP positive granules around some blood vessels in reticular formation and subventricular gray substance: One was a small protoplasmic astrocyte with broad cytoplasma, small nucleus, and thick, short and irregular processes and another kind was polydendritic neurons filling with brown positive granules in perikarya and cytoprocesses, in the latter, the HRP positive granules were arranged as strips of pearls.

Objective To study the changes of plasma cystatin C level (PcyC),and evaluate the effects of the joint use of atorvastatin and probucol on PcyC and severity of coronary lesion in patients with borderline lesion of coronary artery.Methods One hundred and thirty consecutive patients with borderline coronary lesion assessed by quantitative coronary angiography were enrolled into borderline coronary lesion group (BCL),and another 136 subjects without coronary lesion were enrolled as controls (CTR).And in the meantime,the subjects in BCL group were randomized (closed envelope method) into routine treatment subgroup ( RTT,n =60),and combined treatment subgroup in which patients were treated with atorvastatin 20 mg plus probucol 1.0 g daily in addition to routine medication ( CBT,n =70) for 6 months.There were no statistical differences in basic clinical features between two subgroups.PcyC,high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and triglycerides (TG) were determined.Of them,104 patients in BCL group rechecked by coronary angiography.Comparison of biomarkers carried out between two groups by using a number of independent-sample t-test and analysis of variance.For enumeration data,chi-square test was used to compare mean values of biomarkers between groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results PcyC levels were significantly higher in BCL group than those in CTR group ( P < 0.05 ).Compared with RTT subgroup,levels of PcyC,TC,LDL-C,TG and hs-CRP were more significantly decreased in CBT subgroup (P < 0.05,P < 0.01 ).Moreover,there was a trend of slight decrease in the mean percent of stenosis (MPS) of coronary artery with borderline lesion in RTT subgroup treated for 6 months,whereas more marked decrease in the MPS of coronary artery with borderline coronary lesion in CBT subgroup treated for 6 months ( P > 0.05 ; P < 0.05 ).Conclusions Cystatin C plays an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery,and PcyC is associated with severity of coronary lesion,the combination of atorvastatin and probucol decreases the PcyC level,and it may be the treatment of choice for borderline lesion of coronary artery.
