OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of eprosartan in the treatment of hypertensive patients with coro-nary heart disease. METHODS:160 hypertensive patients with coronary heart disease randomly divided into observation group and control group. All patients were given aspirin,nitroglycerin,low molecular weight heparin,statins and other conventional treat-ment;control group was additioanlly given 50 mg Losartan potassium tablet,orally,once a day. Observation group was additional-ly given 600 mg Eprosartan tablet,orally,once a day. The treatment course for both groups was 6 months. Clinical efficacy,sit-ting systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),urea (UREA),creatinine(Cr),uric acid(UA),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),the Mini-Mental status (MMSE) scale and activities of daily living (ADL) scale scores before and after treatment and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:There was no signifi-cant difference in the total effective rate between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the sitting systolic blood pressure and diastol-ic blood pressure,MMSE and ADL scale scores in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and sitting systolic blood pres-sure in observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05),and there were no significant differences in sitting diastolic blood pressure,MMSE and ADL scale scores between 2 groups(P>0.05),and no signifi-cant differences in ALT,AST,UREA,Cr,UA,TC,TG,HDL-C and LDL-C between 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Eprosartan can effectively reduce sitting systol-ic blood pressure in hypertensive patients with coronary heart disease,and improve cognitive function,with good safety.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects and mechanism of propranolol on the myocardial abnormal electrophysiology sta-tion in diabetic model rats. METHODS:SD rats were randomly divided into normal control(normal saline)group,diabetic(nor-mal saline)group,PD98059(ERK inhibitor,10 mg/kg)group and propranolol low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose(1,20,50 mg/kg)groups,with 8 rats in each group. Except for normal control group,rats were given alloxan(20 mg/kg)intravenously via tail vein to induce diabetic model. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 42 days. The car-diac index,electrocardiogram and action potential durations (APD) of rats were analyzed;the expression of TNF-α,IL-2,IL-6 and IL-10 protein in serum were detected,and the expression of Ras,Raf,ERK kinase(MEK)and ERK1/2 in myocardial tissue were detected. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,cardiac index increased in diabetes group;heart rate decreased;QT interval and APD were prolonged;the relative expression of TNF-α,IL-2,IL-6,IL-10,Ras,Raf,MEK and ERK1/2 protein increased (P<0.01). Compared with diabetes group,cardiac index decreased in propranolol medium-dose and high-dose groups and PD98059 group,heart rate increased,QT interval and APD were shortened;the relative expression of TNF-α,IL-2,IL-6, IL-10,Ras,Raf,MEK and ERK1/2 protein decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Propranolol can improve myocar-dial abnormal electrophysiology station of diabetic model rats by down-regulating inflammatory reactions in serum and inhibiting the activation of MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the value of cough test in the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT)procedure.Methods A cohort of 85 women with stress urinary incontinence underwent the TVT procedure with cough test (n =41) or without cough test (n =44).Patients in cough test group were performed according to the Ulmsten’s method strictly,with the stress of tape adjusted in light of cough test; whereas in other 44 operations,the tape was placed on the urethral tract without stress,and no cough test was performed.The urine catheter was removed after 48 hours postoperatively and follow-up evaluation was carried out at 12 month postoperatively.Results TVT procedure was carried out successfully in all patients by a single experienced surgeon.Four cases of urinary retention and 5 cases of voiding difficulty were observed in the cough test group.However,urinary retention or voiding difficulty was not detected in the nun-cough test group.Based on the twelve-month follow-up results,the cure rate was 92.6% (38/41) in the cough test group and 93.1% (41/44) in the non-cough test group.Flow-pressure study indicated that 11 cases in cough test group were in the obstruction zone,while only 3 cases in the obstruction zone were detected in the non-cough test group.Conclusions TVT is a safe as well as effective minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat female stress urinary incontinence.However,Adjusting stress of tape in accordance with cough test during the TVT may potentially increase the incidence of urinary dysfunction postoperatively.Therefore,no convincing evidence was gained to support the efficacy of cough test during TVT in terms of preventing postoperative voiding dysfunction.
