Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of entecavir versus adefovir dipivoxil in the treatment of HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B ( CHB) . Methods Ninety?six cases with HBeAg positive CHB were divided into ETV group and ADV group according to different medication. In addition to conventional treatment,ETV group received entecavir 0. 5 mg/d,ADV group received adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg/d. HBV DNA negative conversion rate,alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) recurrence rate and HBeAg negative conversion rate in 24 weeks,48 weeks and 96 weeks were compared as well as the adverse reactions and liver function in 96 weeks. Results HBV DNA negative conversion rates in ETV group were significantly higher than those in ADV group in 24 weeks,48 weeks and 96 weeks (24 weeks:64. 6%(31/48) vs. 41. 7%(20/48);48 weeks:83. 3%(40/48) vs. 52. 1%(25/48);96 weeks:97. 9%(47/48) vs. 62. 5%(30/48),χ2 =5. 06,10. 72,18. 96,P<0. 05) . ALT recurrence rates in ETV group were significantly higher than those in ADV group at 24 weeks,48 weeks ( 24weeks:77. 1%( 37/48 ) vs. 54. 2%( 26/48 );48weeks:85. 4%( 40/48 ) vs. 62. 5%( 30/48 ) ,χ2=5. 59,6. 54,P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in ALT complication rate at 96 week(χ2=0. 71,P>0. 05) . There was no significant difference in HBeAg negative conversion rate between the two groups through treatment(χ2=0. 07, 0. 22, 0. 44, P>0. 05 ) . After 96 weeks, ALT in both groups decreased significantly ( t =13. 56,11. 85,P<0. 05) ,while ALT in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( ( 31. 8 ±8. 6) U/L vs. (38. 5±7. 5) U/L,t=4. 07,P<0. 05). AST in both groups decreased significantly(t=41. 27, 33. 68,P<0. 05),while AST in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( (30. 3±6. 5) U/L vs.(37.6±7.1)U/L,t=5.25,P<0.05).TBIL in both groups decreased significantly(t=28.92,22.23,P<0. 05),while TBIL in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( (13. 5±3. 3) μmol/L vs. (18. 7±3. 9) μmol/L,t=7. 05,P<0. 05). GGT in both groups decreased significantly (t=16. 99,13. 97,P<0.05),while GGT in ETV group was significantly lower than that in ADV group ( (35.6±10.4)U/L vs. (59. 7±12. 5)U/L,t=10. 27,P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in adverse reaction between the two groups (χ2=1. 96,P>0. 05) . Conclusion Entecavir has a higher rate of HBV DNA negative conversion rate, ALT recurrence rate and HBeAg negative conversion rate in the treatment of HBeAg positive CHB. It is an ideal antiviral drug.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of Guanxin Tongmai plaster combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.Methods:A total of 60 patients in the Department of Cardiology of the Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from February to August 2020 who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups with 30 in each group. Both groups were treated with conventional western medicine. On this basis, Guanxin Tongmai plaster was applied at the acupoints in the treatment group and placebo plaster was applied in the control group. TCM syndrome score was performed before and after treatment, angina score was evaluated from three aspects of angina attack frequency, duration and pain degree, and blood lipid TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were detected by enzyme quantitative method. The blood homocysteine (Hcy) was detected by enzyme circulation method, the ECG and the nitroglycerin reduction rate were recorded, and the safety index was detected according to the ECG changes.Results:In the treatment period, 2 patients in the treatment group fell off, 3 in the control group. A total of 28 patients in the treatment group and 27 in the control group were analyzed. The total effective rate of ECG efficacy in the treatment group was 67.9% (19/28) and the control group was 48.1% (13/27). There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.46, P=0.040). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score and angina score in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 9.12 and 4.45, P values were 0.004 and 0.042, respectively). The reduction rate of nitroglycerin in the treatment group was 82.1% (23/28) and 55.6% (15/27) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2=4.72, P=0.030). After treatment, the plasma TG, TC, LDL-C in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 4.17, 6.57 and 6.52, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the level of HDL-C was significantly higher than that of the control group ( t=7.07, P=0.010), and the level of plasma Hcy was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t=6.70, P=0.012). There was no significant difference in liver, kidney and coagulation function between the two groups. Conclusion:Guanxin Tongmai plaster combined with conventional western medicine can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, reduce the level of blood lipid and Hcy, and improve the clinical curative effect.

The key pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD) is spleen deficiency and phlegm stasis, and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein (dys-HDL) may be the biological basis for the occurrence of CHD due to spleen deficiency and phlegm stasis. Considering the biological properties and effects of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), it is believed that the structure and components of HDL are abnormal in the state of spleen deficiency which led to dys-HDL; and dys-HDL contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques through two major pathways, namely, mediating the dysfunction of endothelial cells and mediating the foaminess of macrophages and smooth muscle cells, thus triggering the development of CHD. It is also believed that dys-HDL is a microcosmic manifestation and a pathological product of spleen deficiency, and spleen deficiency makes foundation for the production of dys-HDL; dys-HDL is also an important biological basis for the phlegm-stasis interactions in CHD. The method of fortifying spleen, resolving phlegm, and dispelling stasis, is proposed as an important principle in the treatment of CHD by traditional Chinese medicine, which can achieve the therapeutic purpose by affecting the changes in the structure and components of dys-HDL, thus revealing the scientific connotation of this method, and providing ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by traditional Chinese medicine.
