Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2015;(8):116-118
Objective To investigate the effect of elemene on leptin, AFP and liver function of patients with advanced liver cancer.Methods 73 cases with advanced liver cancer of our hospital were selected and according to the random number table method were randomly assigned for two groups:control group (37 cases) were given routine clinical therapy;experimental group (36 cases) were treated on the basis of the control group with elemene injection.leptin, AFP ,CRP and liver function were compared after the treatment.ResuIts Compared with control group post-treatment, the leptin level in the experimental group was higher, CRP was lower(P<0.05); the serum level of AFP, CEA and CA199 were lower (P<0.05), the ALT, TBIL, AST, PT were lower ( P<0.05 ) , and the total effective rate was significantly higher ( P<0.05 ) .ConcIusion Elemene injection can improve liver function, elevate serum leptin level, reduce the levels of CRP, tumor marker levels and improve the quality of life .

Objectives:To evaluate the impact of global longitudinal strain(GLS)for prognosis in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods:We enrolled 156 STEMI patients who underwent PCI and spackle tracking imaging(STI)during hospitalization from September 2020 to August 2023.Patients with Killip Ⅱ-Ⅳ at baseline were excluded,138 patients were finally included.GLS was detected by STI.Patients were divided into more impaired group(GLS>-11.7%,n=57)and less impaired group(GLS≤-11.7%,n=81)according to Youden index.Clinical characteristics and echocardiography data were analyzed.Patients were followed up for a median of 21(13,28)months.Heart failure events were compared between the two groups. Results:The peak troponin I(TnI)was significantly higher in patients with GLS>-11.7%than those with GLS≤-11.7%at admission(85 160[31 297,214 226]pg/ml vs.34 942[13 571,92 713]pg/ml,P<0.001).Culprit vessel was different between the 2 groups(P<0.001).Compared with patients with GLS≤-11.7%,patients with GLS>-11.7%had lower left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)([60.1±8.7]%vs.[49.2±8.3]%,P<0.001),higher proportion of regional wall motion abnormality(90.1%vs.100%,P=0.015).Both LVEF and GLS recovered in patients with GLS>-11.7%during follow-up,but remained lower as compared to patients with GLS≤-11.7%(both P<0.001).The median follow-up time was 21(13,28)months.After adjusting age,sex,culprit vessel and peak TnI,the risk of heart failure of patients with GLS>-11.7%was significant higher(HR=9.123,95%CI:1.720-43.394,P=0.009). Conclusions:STEMI patients with more impaired GLS have a higher risk of heart failure post PCI.

Objective To investigate the influence factors of Cornell product and its clinical value in pa-tients with left ventricular high voltage.Methods 104 patients with left ventricular high voltage were studied and divided into two groups according to Cornell product:Cornell product normal group(n = 78)and Cornell product abnormal group(n=26). Clinical manifestations ,complicaions and ultracardiographic data in these patients were collected and analyzed. Results Chronic kidney disease(CKD)(OR=4.266,95%CI 1.276-14.257,P=0.018) and left ventricular mass index(LVMI)(OR = 1.023,95%CI 1.004-1.043,P = 0.016)were related to Cornell product. Cornell product was positively correlated LVMI appeared(r=0.497,P<0.001). The correlation of Cor-nell product with left ventricularend-diastolic dimension ,interventricular septal thickness and left ventricular poste-rior wall thickness was weak.ROC-AUC of Cornell product for CKD was 0.634,95%CI=0.506-0.780,P=0.039, sensibility 47.8%,and specificity 81.5%. Conclusions LVMI and CKD are independent influence factors of Cor-nell product. Cornell product has a certain diagnositc value for left ventricular hypertrophy ,but it has no associa-tion with the location of ventricular hypertrophy.
