Objective To observe the curative effect of captopril and metoprolol in the treatment of chronic Keshan disease (CKD). Methods One hundred and ninty-five patients with CKD chosen from Juxian, Wulian, Yishui, Pingyi, Sishui and Zoucheng in Shandong Province were randomly assigned to control group, captopril group and metoprolol group according to NYHA cardiac functional grading. All cases were given diuretics, digitalis and vasodilating agents as routine treatment. On this basis, captopril and metoprolol was administered in captopril group and metoprolol group respectively. After 12 months of follow-up visit, the causes of cardiac death, hospitalization status and the changes of heart size, electrocardiogram, blood pressure and heart rate were all observed. Results It was found that the mortality of captopril group and metoprolo] group was 4.76% (3/63), 5.00% (3/60) respectively, both lower than the control group 10.61%(7/66). But this difference had no statistically significance(P=0.39). Besides, the hospitalization days of each year in captopril group and metoprolol group was respectively (19.12± 20.35) and(18.86±21.52)days, much more reduced than in the control group[(21.45±21.74)days, q=3.17, 3.38, P<0.05]. The detection rate of cardiothoracic ratio decreased in captopril group and metoprolol group [45% (27/60) and 40.4% (23/57)] After treatment showed more pronounced amelioration than the control group [18.6% (11/59), χ2=9.51,6.59, all P<0.0125], still the detection rate of cardiomegaly and invariability had no significant difference among three groups (χ2=2.50,4.75, all P>0.05). The elimination coefficient of ectopic rhythm in metoprolol group [56.5% (13/23)] was pronounced higher than the control group and captopril group [23.8% (5/21), 22.7% (5/22)], but differences had no statistically significance(P=0.0358,0.0331, all P>0.0125). Significant differences were found in systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP) and heart rate(HR) in three groups prior and post-treatment(F=47.51,44.23,80.66, all P<0.01). The interaction of therapy and treatment time had influence on SBP and HR (F=3.19,37.44, all P<0.05), but had no influence on DBP(F=2.21, P> 0.05). There was no difference in SBP, DBP or HR among three groups before treatment(F=0.28,0.57,1.80, all P>0.05). After treatment, SBP and DBP in captopril group, metoprolol group and the control group[(109.0±10.9), (112.2±12.8), (114.7±13.2)mm Hg, (69.3±7.2), (72.1±9.5), (73.3±9.3)mm Hg] were all lowered compared with pre-treatment[ (117.1±13.4), (119.0±14.4), (117.6±14.1)mm Hg and (74.2±10.2), (76.3±10.8), (75.4±11.1)mm Hg, t=4.79,4.47,2.08,5.12, 4.32,2.15, all P<0.05]. HR was reduced in metoprolol group, being [(66.2±7.7), (75.9±11.5)times/min] before and after treatment(t=10.81, P<0.01), while it remained unchanged in captopril group and control group[(70.6±8.0), (72.6±10.5) times/min and (71.9±10.4), (73.8± 12.2)times/min, t=1.77,1.74, all P>0.05]. After treatment, both SBP and DBP of captopril group were significantly lower than that in the control group (q=3.52,3.56, all P<0.05); HR was reduced in metoprolol group, lower than that in captopril group and control group(q=5.44,3.73, all P<0.01). Conclusions Having a tendency of depressing mortality, captopril and metoprolol can reverse or delay myocardial remodeling and reduce admission rate in a safe,reliable and economic way, and are worth to be widely used in the treatment of chronic Keshan disease.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the expression of voltage-gated potassium channel(KV1.3)and calcium activated potassi-um channel(KCa3.1)in peripheral monocyte from patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)and the regulatory effect of simvas-tatin. METHODS:20 patients with CAD and 8 control patients without CAD diagnosed by percutaneous coronary intervention but correlated to risk factor of CAD were enrolled. The expression of KV1.3 mRNA and KCa3.1 mRNA were measured by RT-PCR in 2 groups,and those of CAD group were measured by RT-PCR after 1 month of simvastatin treatment. RESULTS:Compared with control group,mRNA expression of KV1.3 [(1.54±0.08)vs.(0.77±0.06),P<0.01] and KCa3.1 [(1.32±0.08)vs.(1.06±0.06), P<0.05] were significantly increased in CAD group. mRNA expression of KV1.3 was significantly correlated to the concentration of C reactive protein (CRP)(P=0.003)and was decreased by simvastatin for one month [(1.54 ± 0.08)vs.(1.14 ± 0.05),P<0.01]. However,mRNA expression of KCa3.1 was not correlated to the concentration of CRP and simvastatin didn’t affect it’s expression. CONCLUSIONS:KV1.3 and KCa3.1 in peripheral monocytes may be two new markers of CAD. Regulating KV1.3 may be one of mechanisms of statin’s pleiotrophic effect.

ObjectiveTo evaluate preoperative biopsy in the treatment of gastric mucosal lesions by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).MethodsClinical data of 195 patients diagnosed as having gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIEN) or early cancer by preoperative biopsy were retrospectively analyzed.The discrepancy between endoscopic biopsies and pathological diagnosis after ESD were studied.ResultsThe overall consistency rate between preoperative biopsies and postoperative pathological diagnosis was 93.8％ (183/195) and complete consistency rate was 50.8％ (99/195).For low-grade and highgrade gastric intraepithelial neoplasia ( LGIEN),the complete consistency rates were 49.4％ (42/85)and 38.0％ (30/79),respectively,which were not different ( P ＞ 0.05 ).For early cancer it was 87.1％(27/31 ),which was significantly higher than those in the LGIEN group and HGIEN group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Post-ESD diagnosis was more severe than biopsy in 66 patients (33.8％,66/195 ),including 36 LGIEN (42.4％,36/85) and 30 HGIEN (38.0％,30/79).Final pathological diagnosis was milder than biopsy in 18 patients (9.2％,18/195),i.e.14 HGIEN (17.7％,14/79) and 4 early cancer (12.9％,4/31).Gastritis was diagnosed in 12 patients (6.2％,12/195),i.e.7 LGIEN (8.2％,7/85) and 5 HGIEN (6.3％,5/79).ConclusionPreoperative biopsy is insufficient for accurate diagnosis of gastric mucosal lesions,but facilitates resection of gastric mucosal lesions by ESD.
