Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2009;16(10):1747-1748
Objective To investigate the efficacy of flupentixol and melitracen(Deanxit) in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) and non-responding to proton pump inhibitor. Methods Fifty eight NERD pa-tients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group (n = 29) and control group (n = 29). Patients in control group were given esomeprazole 40 mg qd. Patients in the treatment group were given the same drug plus Deanxit 1 Tab qd. The clinical effect was evaluated and scored by Hemihon Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) after 4 weeks. Results The total efficacy rate of the treatment group was higher than control group (P < 0.01),and HAMA was lower in the treatment group than in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Adjuvant treatment of Deanxit combined with esomeprazole is effective to NERD patients who did not respond to proton pump inhibitor, can greatly improve anxious disorders.

Objective:To observe the characteristics of 24 hour ambulatory electrocardiogram in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) and optimal ventricular rate control. Methods:Holter monitoring was performed in 122 hospitalized patients,aged 17—85 (mean 51.57±11.94) years,with organic heart disease and chronic AF (New York Heart Association functional class Ⅱ-Ⅲ) in whom the ventricular rate were well-controlled by digoxin.Maximum,minimum and mean ventricular rates,the number of ventricular pauses of >1.5 second,and the longest ventricular pauses during the monitoring were recorded.Follow-up data were collected in 72 patients. Results:The mean,fastest and lowest ventricular rates over 24 hours were 78.53±8.12(65—90),143.79±28.85(90-183) and 51.04±7.52(34—71) bpm,respectively.Bradycardia of less than 50 and 45 bpm occurred in 62 and 32 of the 122 patients,respectively.Ventricular pauses of more than 1.5 and 3.0 seconds were noted in 95 and 14 of the 122 patients,respectively.The longest ventricular pause was 2.38±0.55(4.64—1.60) seconds.During follow-up,there were no worsening in these patients. Conclusion:Ventricular pauses at rest and nocturnal bradycardia were common in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation who had ventricular rates controlled.The dosage of digoxin should not be changed,nor pacemaker insertion is needed.

Objective:To study the predictive value of red cell distribution width (RDW)on poor myocardial perfu- sion in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Meth-ods:From August 2013 to August 2015,a total of 212 ACS patients undergoing PCI in our hospital were selected. According to RDW of blood analyzer,patients were divided into RDW<13.0% group (n=115)and RDW≥13.0%group (n=97).According to ST segment regression rate (STR)on single lead of ECG 1~2h after PCI,patients with STR≤50% were enrolled as poor myocardial perfusion group (n=78)and those with STR>50% were regar- ded as good myocardial perfusion group (n=134).Clinical data were compared between two groups,and single fac- tor and multi-factor analysis were used to analyze influencing factors for myocardial perfusion.Results:Compared with RDW<13.0% group,there were significant rise in age [(62.85±5.23)years vs.(67.33±6.17)years],and significant reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF,(52.37±6.14)% vs.(50.55±5.53)%]and STR [(0.73±0.26)vs.(0.57±0.39)]in RDW≥13.0% group,P<0.05 or <0.01. Compared with good myocardial perfusion group,there were significant reductions in percentage of RDW<13% (59.70% vs.44.87%)and LVEF [(52.25±3.81)% vs.(50.29 ± 4.08)%],and significant rise in age [(63.29 ± 1.93)years vs.(66.42 ± 2.15) years]in poor myocardial perfusion group,P<0.05 all.Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, LVEF and RDW were independent predictors for poor myocardial perfusion (r=3.826~6.525,P<0.01 all).Con-clusion:Red cell distribution width possesses good predictive value for poor myocardial perfusion in patients with a- cute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention,which is worth extending in clinic.
