Objective :To evaluate therapeutic effect of allisartan isoproxil tablet on carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) le‐sion in patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension (EH).Methods :A total of 120 patients with mild to moderate EH complicated CAS treated in our hospital were enrolled .They were randomly divided into valsartan group (n＝60 ,received valsartan 80mg／d) and allisartan isoproxil group (n＝60 ,received allisartan isoproxil tablet 240mg／d) ,both groups received measure by carotid vascular ultrasound before treatment ,24 weeks and 48 weeks af‐ter treatment and its result were compared between two groups .Results :Compared with before treatment ,there were significant reductions in IMT ,size ,thickness and number of carotid atherosclerotic plaques on 24 weeks and 48 weeks after treatment in two groups ,and above indexes of 48 weeks were significantly lower than those of 24 weeks , P＜0.05 or ＜0.01. The decreased value of IMT in allisartan isoproxil group was significantly higher than that of valsartan group ,and there were no significant difference between two groups in time point of size ,thickness and number of carotid atherosclerotic plaques , P＞0.05 all.Conclusion :Therapeutic effect of two drugs on size ,thick‐ness and number of carotid atherosclerotic plaques are similar ;but therapeutic effect of allisartan isoproxil tablet on IMT is significantly better than that of valsartan .

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of hsa_circ_0005075 in serum extracellular vesicles(EVs)of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA).Methods Fourteen RSA patients and 14 normal pregnant women from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Qilu Hospital of Shandong University were enrolled in a training set,and 64 RSA pa-tients and 48 normal pregnant women were enrolled in a validation set.The expression levels of hsa_circ_0005075 in serum EVs were detected by the quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR),and their correlation with clinical pathological parameters of RSA patients were analyzed.Serum anti-thyroid globulin antibody(A-TG)and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody(A-TPO)were detected by the elec-trochemiluminescence assay.Serum anticardiolipin(ACA)IgA,IgG,and IgM antibodies and anti-β2 glycoprotein 1(β2GP1)IgA,IgG,and IgM antibodies were determined by the chemiluminescence immunoassay.The correlation of these autoantibodies with the lev-els of hsa_circ_0005075 in serum EVs was analyzed by the Pearson correlation.The clinical application value of hsa_circ_0005075 in the diagnosis of RSA was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The detection results of the training set showed that the expression levels of hsa_circ_0005075 in serum EVs of RSA patients(7.69[4.74,42.15])were significantly high-er than that in normal pregnant women(1.02[0.51,4.23],U=28,P＜0.01].Similarly,in the validation set,the expression levels of hsa_circ_0005075 in RSA patients(4.96[1.73,8.89])were also significantly higher than that in normal pregnant women(1.00[0.24,2.96],U=693,P＜0.01).The ROC curve showed that hsa_circ_0005075 in serum EVs had good diagnostic value for RSA(AUCROC=0.774),with 70.3%of sensitivity and75.0%of specificity.In addition,the expression level of hsa_circ_0005075 in serum EVs was significantly correlated with A-TPO(r=0.298,P＜0.05).Conclusion The hsa_circ_0005075 in serum EVs is highly ex-pressed in RSA patients,which may have a potential differential diagnostic value for the diagnosis of RSA.
