Objective:To investigate the effects of cardiac exercise rehabilitation on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.Methods:200 patients with clinically diagnosed heart failure with preserved ejection fraction who received treatment from May to December 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either routine treatment (control group, n = 100) or routine treatment combined with cardiac exercise rehabilitation (observation group, n = 100). Before and after treatment, the distance walked during the 6-minute walk test was compared between the control and observation groups. Before and after treatment, plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular short-axis fractional shortening, left atrial diameter, left ventricular end diastolic diameter were compared between the two groups. Adverse events such as falls during treatment were recorded in each group. Before and after treatment, quality of life was evaluated using The Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire in each group. All patients were followed up for 3 months. Three-month rehospitalization rate was calculated in each group. Results:After treatment, the distance walked during the 6-minute walk test in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group [(421.63 ± 86.75) m vs. (328.44 ± 74.93) m, t = 8.130, P < 0.001). After treatment, the distance walked during the 6-minute walk test in each group was significantly increased compared with before treatment ( tcontrol group = 6.584, P < 0.001; tobservation group = 15.337, P < 0.001). After treatment, plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(227.68 ± 31.22) mg/L vs. (269.74 ± 36.81) mg/L, t = 8.714, P < 0.001]. After treatment, plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide in each group was significantly decreased compared with before treatment ( tcontrol group = 24.669, P < 0.001; tobservation group = 38.776, P < 0.001). After treatment, left ventricular end diastolic diameter and left atrial diameter in each group were significantly decreased compared with before treatment ( t = 4.031, 10.166, 3.715 and 12.569, all P < 0.05), while left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular short-axis fractional shortening in each group were significantly increased compared with before treatment ( t = 7.610, 11.906, 3.915 and 6.105, all P < 0.05). The amplitude of improvement in abovementioned indices in the observation group was significantly greater than that in the control group ( t = 7.255, 12.739, 4.703 and 2.442, all P < 0.05). During the treatment, no falls, adverse cardiovascular events, or death occurred in each group. After treatment, the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire scores in physical domain, emotional domain and other domains in the observation group were (23.96 ± 4.75) points, (9.47 ± 2.02) points, (26.31 ± 1.84) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(28.63 ± 5.12) points, (12.35 ± 1.89) points and (32.76 ± 2.49) points, t = 6.867, 10.411 and 20.833, all P < 0.001]. After treatment, the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire scores in various domains in each group were significantly decreased compared with before treatment ( t = 6.648, 14.746, 28.782, 35.262, 9.665 and 27.962, all P < 0.05). Three-month rehospitalization rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [10.0% (10/100) vs. 22.0% (22/100), χ2 = 5.357, P = 0.021]. Conclusion:Cardiac exercise rehabilitation for the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction can help improve the heart function, increase exercise endurance, improve prognosis, reduce rehospitalization rate, and improve quality of life.

Objective To investigate the immunological properties of Rv1009 domain. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with Rv1009 domain three times at 2-week interval. ELISA was used to detect the antiRv1009 domain antibody titer in the sera of immunized mice sera. The spleen lymphocytes of the immunized mice were separated and the stimulation index (SI) was measured by MTT colorimetry. Levels of secreted IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-12 upon specific antigen stimulation were detected by ELISA. The BALB/c mice immunized with Rv1009 domain were intravenously infected with MTB H37Rv. Four weeks after the final injection, the number of CFU in spleens was determined. Results The titer of the specific antibody in sera of the immunized BALB/c mice was 1:12 800. The SI of Rv1009 domain immunized group (2. 40±0. 18) was significantly higher than that of saline immunized group (0.90±0.21). The IFN-γ,IL-10 and IL-12 levels in culture supematant of spleen lymphecytes from the fusion proteins immunized mice was (1 432±30) ng/L, (503±11) ng/L and (311±11) ng/L respectively, significant different from that of saline immunized group[(256±20) ng/L, (76±6) ng/L and(56±8) ng/L,P<0.01]. Four weeks after the final injection,compared with normal saline immunized mice (6.64±0.13), dramatic reduction in MTB replication was observed in the spleen (4.86±0.14) from BALB/c mice immunized with fusion proteins following a subsequent MTB H37Rv challenge, but the protection efficacy of mice immunized with Rv1009 domain was not as good as that of BCG vaccination group (3.81±0.16). Conclusion Rv1009 domain can be used as a candidate for the new TB vaccine.
