OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of external application of Zhuangshenling Recipe (ZR) combined with Western medicine (WM) on the heart function of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients of Xin-Shen yang deficiency, interior retention of water-fluid syndrome (XSYDIRWFS).

METHODSTotally 140 CHF patients of XSYDIRWFS were randomly assigned to two groups, the treatment group and the control group, 70 in each group. All patients received WM therapy. Those in the treatment group were applied with ZR at Xinshu (BL15) and Shenshu (BL23), while those in the control group were applied with placebos at Xinshu (BL15) and Shenshu (BL23). The therapeutic course for all was 12 weeks. The integrals of TCM syndrome, grading of cardiac function, brain natriuretic polypeptide (BNP), and 6 min walking distance were observed before and after treatment.

RESULTSAfter twelve weeks of treatment, the effective rate of improved grading of cardiac function, the total effective rate of TCM syndrome efficacy, and the BNP level were obviously better in the treatment group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in 6 min walking distance between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONExternal application of ZR combined with WM could improve the heart function of CHF patients of XSYDIRWFS.

Objective To investigate the effects of early rehabilitative training program on patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients with AMI were randomly divided into early rehabilitation group(n=62)and control group(n=60).In addition to routine treatment,patients in rehabilitation group received early rehabilitative training mainly by walking exercise for two weeks.Results There were no significant differences in ventricular arrhythmia(Lown≥Ⅲ), extension of infarction and heart rate variability(HRV)between the two groups(P＞0.05).Forty of 62 patients(64.5%)in rehabilitation group had their left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)more than or equal to 50% in the 3~(rd)～4~(th)week after admission,significantly higher than that in control group(45.0%, 27/60 ;P＜0.01 ).By the end of the 4~(th)week after admission,25.8% of the patients in rehabilitation group showed positive in treadmill test,significantly lower than that in control group(38.3%,P＜0.01). Occurrence of angina pectoris and reinfarction and fatality in rehabilitation group were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.05)during their hospitalization and follow-up period.Patients in rehabilitation group stayed at hospital for(16?3)days in average,significantly less than that in control group[(27?4) days],with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Early rehabilitative training for patients with uncomplicated AMI is not only safe and feasible,but also useful in improvement for their prognosis and quality of life.

Objective To explore the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor antisense oligonucleotides(AS-VEGF)on HL60 cell and HL60/VCR multidrug resistance cell and analyze the function of P-gp and the expression of related multidrug resistance genes including Bcl-2,Mcl-1,MDR1,MRP,GST?,TopoⅡ? and TopoⅡ?.Methods A vector AS-VEGF which expressed in eukaryotic cell was established,then transfected the vector into HL60 and HL60/VCR by limposome transfection technology,observed and drew the growth curve by Tapanlan taining,RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2,Mcl-1,MDR1,MRP,GST?,TopoⅡ? and TopoⅡ? in mRNA level after transfected 24 h and 48 h.Western Blot was used to detect the expression of P-gp in proteinum level after transfected 24 h and 48 h.Results The growth of HL60 and HL60/VCR was inhibited by AS-VEGF(1.25 mmol/L).Between HL60 and HL60/VCR,AS-VEGF decreased the expression of MDR1,MRP,GST? and TopoⅡ? but could not influence the expression of Bcl-2,Mcl-1 and TopoⅡ?,and the expression of P-gp was also obviously decreased in 48 h compared with that in 24 h.Conclusions AS-VEGF can inhibite the growth of HL60 and HL60/VCR and reverse multidrug resistance by changing cell microenvironment and the cell membrane correlated protein transportating channel,reduce the cell disintoxicating and the self-repair ability.
