Tianjin Medical Journal 2015;(9):992-995
Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effects of NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocar-bamate (PDTC) on NF-kappa B activity and the serum inflammatory mediators in hypertensive-ventricular hypertrophy-congestive heart fail?ure rats. Methods The rat model of hypertension-cardiac hypertrophy-heart failure was made from 42 male Dahl salt sen?sitive rats. Rats were randomly divided into seven groups including group A (normal diet group), group B (high salt diet group), group C (NF-κB inhibition in early stage), group D (NF-κB inhibition in hypertensive stage), group E (NF-κB inhibi?tion in cardiac hypertrophy stage of week 12) and group G (NF-κB inhibition in heart failure stage). There were six rats for each group. Rats were administrated 8%high salt diet and injected PDTC 100 mg/(kg·d)intraperitoneally according to the prescribed time. Changes of blood pressure, left ventricular end diastolic interventricular septal thickness (IVSD), left ven?tricular end diastolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWD), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), systolic left ventric?ular end diastolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), heart, lung weight/ body weight ratio, NF-kappa B activity, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 and C-reactive protein (CRP) were observed in different treatment time points of PDCT. Results Levels of NF-κB and proinflammatory cy?tokines were reduced after early administration of PDTC, and the cardiac function was also decreased. The longer the treat?ment time, the greater the protective effect on heart. PDTC can effectively control blood pressure, and block left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular failure in a certain extent. The effects of PDTC were limited after persistent hypertension, and myocardial hypertrophy formation accompanied by heart failure. Conclusion PDTC plays a role in prevention and treatment of hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and congestive heart failure in model rats. Early application of PDTC could obviously maintain the normal cardiac function in rats with heart disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect and possible mechanism of modified Shenling Baizhu Powder (参苓白术散) and Xiaoluo Pill (消瘰丸) in the treatment of children with adenoid hypertrophy due to spleen deficiency and phlegm accumulation. MethodsOne hundred and thirty children with adenoid hyperplasia due to spleen deficiency and phlegm accumulation were randomly divided into 65 cases each in the observation group and control group. The control group was given mometasone furoate nasal spray, one spray into each nostril, once a day, while the observation group was given modified Shenling Baizhu Powder and Xiaoluo Pill orally, one dose per day, and both groups were treated for 8 months. The pre- and after-treatment electronic nasopharyngoscope scores, specific quality of life survey scale (OSA-18) scores, total TCM symptom scores, serum cysteine leukotrienes (CysLTs), interleukin 2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and interleukin 10 (IL-10) levels were compared to determine the clinical efficacy after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the electronic nasopharyngoscope scores, OSA-18 scores, total TCM symptom scores, serum CysLTs, IL-2 and TNF-α levels significantly decreased, while IL-10 levels increased in both groups (P<0.01). Compared between the two groups after treatment, the electronic nasopharyngoscope score, OSA-18 score, total TCM symptom score, serum CysLTs, IL-2 and TNF-α levels were significantly lower, and the IL-10 level was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.38% (62/65), superior to 81.54% (53/65) of the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionFor children with adenoid hypertrophy due to spleen deficiency and phlegm accumulation, modified Shenling Baizhu Powder and Xiaoluo Pill can help to improve symptoms, increase quality of life and clinical efficacy, and its mechanism may be related to reducing the inflammatory response.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of social and psychological factors on rehabilitation status of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients under peritoneal dialysis. METHODS: From August in 2005 to March in 2007, 171 patients experienced peritoneal dialysis were diagnosed at the Center of Peritoneal Dialysis, Department of Nephrology, First Hospital, Peking University, including 66 males and 105 females, aged (60±13) years, with an average dialysis time of 22.8 months. They were studied with questionnaires and interview. Rehabilitation status was investigated from two aspects of activity and participation by Karnofsky activity index, Social Dysfunction Screening Scale. Hamilton depression and anxiety scales, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and Social Supporting Rating Scale were used to investigate social and psychological factors.RESULTS: A total of 200 questionnaires were handed out and 171 (85.5%) of them were drawn in. 134 patient had normal activity status, 78.4% of them had Dysfunction and 129 patients (75.4%) had normal social function status. Forty-two (24.5%) of patients had the symptom of anxiety, 15 (8.2%) had depression. The score of "Acceptance-Resignation" was significantly higher in this group than patients with other chronic diseases. There were no significant differences in scores of "Confrontation" and "Avoidance". Activity of rehabilitation outcome and participation index served as dependent variable, whereas depression and anxiety, coping mode and social supporting as independent variable. Using multiple stepwise regression analysis, factors that affected patient rehabilitation were found, including depression, utilization of social support and the facing coping mode. CONCLUSION: Depression, utilization of social support and the facing coping mode have important effects on patient rehabilitation.
