Journal of Chinese Physician 2016;18(7):961-963
The treatment for chronic heart failure has been changed significantly in recent 20 years.Therapeutic target in heart failure not only improves symptoms and quality of life,more important is for the mechanism of myocardial remodeling,prevent and delay the development of myocardial remodeling.Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers,beta blockers,and aldosterone inhibitors are used as the golden triangle drug therapy for chronic heart failure.In recent years,it has been or is about to carry out some clinical new drugs for the treatment of chronic heart failure.
2.China Heart Failure Registry Study——A Multicenter, Prospective Investigation for Preliminary Analysis on Etiology, Clinical Features and Treatment in Heart Failure Patients
Chinese Circulation Journal 2015;30(5):413-416
Objective: China Heart Failure Registry Study (China-HF) is aimed to understand the etiology, clinical features and treatment of in-hospital heart failure (HF) patients in China. Methods: Based on geographic region and economic condition, we prospectively recruited the in-hospital patients with primarily diagnosed HF, and the demographic information, etiology, clinical features and treatment condition were collected by electronic case report form in all patients. Results: A total of 8516 HF patients from 88 participating hospitals between 2012-01 and 2014-12 were analyzed. The average age of patients was at 66 years with 54.5% male. There were 6777/7997 (84.7%) patients with NYHA functional classiifcation at III-IV, 4207/8516 (49.4%) with coronary artery disease (CAD), 4649 (54.6%) with hypertension, 2109/7102 (29.7%) with chronic kidney disease and 2478/6608 (37.5%) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%. The patients with infection 3909/8516 (45.9%) and exertion or stress 2214 (26.0%) and myocardial ischemia 1967 (23.1%) were the major cause of HF worsening. There were 6165/8516 (72.4%) patients treated by intravenous diuretics during hospitalization, and after discharge, 5722 (67.2%) patients received oral loop diuretics, 2563 (30.1%) received angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, 2095 (24.6%) received angiotensin II receptor antagonist. The median length of in-hospital stay was 11 days and the in-hospital mortality was 5.3% (451/8516). Conclusion: China-HF provides a comprehensive insight of clinical features for the in-hospital HF patients in China. There is still a gap for medications between our current condition and the guideline, it is important to educate both patients and physicians in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,operation design and postoperative rehabilitation in ankylosing spondylitis patients with bilateral hips and knees bony ankylosis,who were operated on the 4 joints during one hospitalization period. Method Two operations were performed in one hospitalization period in three ankylosing spondylitis patients on the 2 hip joints and 2 knee joints respectively.One case,the left hip replacement was operated in the first operation,and the right hip and the double knees were operated in the second operation;the other two cases,unilateral hip and knee were operated in two operations respectively.Patients began to contract their lower limbs’ muscles initiatively after narcosis.The limbs were put on the CPM,the hips and knees were bent and extended repeatedly on the third day after operations.The patients began to leave bed and learned to walk 2 weeks after operations.They could walk 100 steps with aids when they leaft hospital. Result In six-month follow-up,the range of hip motion(degree)were 105?~145?(average 135?);the range of knee motion(degree)was 45?~60?(average 54?).The hip’ function score adopted Harris score system:the average of 83 and were all good;the knee’ function score adopted American Association of Knee Surgery score system in 1989:all were excellent except a good one(left knee of first case,the score was 74/75). Conclusion Performing operations on the 2 bony ankylosis hips and 2 bony ankylosis knees in the ankylosing spondylitis patients in one hospitalization period can shorten the treatment cycle,release the distress,and lighten the economic load,meanwhile it is convenient for operation and postoperative rehabilitation.It is better to do the unilateral hip and knee in a single operation.
