Chinese Journal of New Drugs and Clinical Remedies 2001;20(3):182-184
AIM: To compare the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of nicardipine and labetalol injection in treating acute and severe hypertensions. METHODS: Sixty-seven patients in nicardipine group (M 46, F 21; age 52 a± s 11 a) were given nicardipine 2 mg in 0.9 % sodium chloride or 5 % glucose injection 10 mL within 2 min iv, first, and then given 30 mg nicardipine in 0.9 % sodium chlocide or 5 % glucose injection 250 mL by continual intravenous infusion for 6 h. Sixty-one patients in labetalol group (M 41, F 20; age 53 a±9 a) received 50 mg labetalol in 5 % glucose injection 20 mL by intravenous once. The treatment could be repeated every 15 min, in case it was less effective, but the total dose should be no more than 200 mg. RESULTS: The treatment for the nicardipine group and the labetalol group, reached the marked effect within 5 min. The total marked effective rate was all 100 % (P>0.05). Severe adverse reactions occured in the two patients (one occured significantly lowering of blood pressure, and the other aggravated asthma) in the labetalol group. CONCLUSION: Intravenous nicardipine and labetalol are fast and smooth in reducing the blood pressure of the patients with acute and severe hypertension, but the safety of nicardipine is superior to that of labetalol

Tianjin Medical Journal 2000;28(12):707-710
Objective:To study the mechanism and clinical significance of the precordial ST segment deviations in acute inferiorwall myocardial infarction (AIMI) involving adjacent area. Methods: Characteristics of electrocardiogram were analyzed in118 patients with AIMI. Results: (1)The magnitude of ST segment elevation of inferior wall leads (Ⅱ, Ⅲ and aVF) wassignificantly negatively correlated with that of precordial leads (P<0.01). (2)The changed magnitude of ST segment oflead V2 (0.63±1.82 mm) and V2/aVF ratio (0.84±1.61) in 16 cases associated with right ventricular infarction weresignificantly higher than those of only inferior wall myocardial infarction group (V2:0.35±1.65 mm,V2/aVF ratio:0.29±1.28)(P>0.05 and P>0.05). (3)The magnitude of ST segment fall of lead V2(-1.20±1.52 mm) and V2/aVFratio (-0.33±1.15) in 38 cases associated with lateral-posterior wall in farction were higher than those of only inferiorwall infarction group (P<0.05). (4)If the cases associated with right ventricular and lateral-posterior wall infarction werenot included, the ST segment correlation coefficient between inferior and precordial leads would significantly increase inAIMI (r =-0.797, P<0.01). Conclusion:The directions of ST segment deviations of precordial leads elevate in casesassociated with right ventricular infarction and fall in eases associated with lateral-posterior wall infarction in AIMI.
