Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2015;24(3):322-325
Objective:To explore the optimal dose of atrovastatin treating acute coronary syndrome (ACS) .Methods:A total of 86 ACS patients were randomly and equally divided into atorvastatin large dose group (40 mg/d) and rou-tine dose group (20 mg/d ) . Blood lipid levels , blood lipid standard-reaching rate , serum levels of adiponectin (APN) and high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) were compared between two groups before and after treat-ment .All patients were followed up for six months after discharge ,and incidence rates of cardiovascular events and adverse reactions were compared between two groups .Results:Compared with routine dose group ,the levels of TC and LDL-C significantly reduced on 3 months after treatment ,in large dose group (P<0.01 ,<0.05 respectively);the standard-reaching rates of TC and LDL-C [TC:(23.3% vs .44.2% ) ,LDL-C:(37.2% vs .60.5% ) ,P<0.05 all];level of APN [ (8.47 ± 1.73) mg/L vs .(12.96 ± 2.15) mg/L] significantly rose ,level of CRP [ (6.23 ± 1.26) mg/L vs .(4.07 ± 1.54) mg/L] significantly reduced ,P<0.01all;incidence rate of adverse cardiovascular e-vents (23.3% vs .7.0% , P= 0.035) significantly reduced ,but there was no significant difference in incidence rate of adverse reactions between two groups ,P=0.213.Conclusion:Atorvastatin therapy can effectively reduce in-cidence rate of cardiovascular events in ACS patients ,and the dose 40mg/d is optimal dose .

Objective To comprehensively evaluate the effect of the program of treatment and assistance to advanced schis-tosomiasis patients in Hunan Province from 2004 to 2013. Methods The fund investment of the program,the profits of hospi-tals and the improvement of the patients’health were investigated by data collection and questionnaire survey. The evaluation index system of treatment and assistance to advanced schistosomiasis in Hunan Province was constructed by the Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process,and the program was assessed comprehensively. Results The evaluation index system includ-ing 6 primary indices and 33 secondary indices was established. Among all the primary indices,the score of the treatment and assistance(22.25)was the highest,and that of the satisfaction assessment(8.15)was the lowest,and the score of the compre-hensive assessment was 87.06. The average cure rate of the patients was 13.08%from 2004 to 2013. More than 60%of the pa-tients’disease condition got better,and nearly 70%of the patients’psychological condition improved,and more than 70%of patients’self-help ability and social contact improved,as well as family happiness increased. In addition,the annual average cost for caretakers decreased by 2000 Yuan,and the profits of all the fixed-point hospitals for treatment and assistance in-creased. Conclusion The effectiveness and efficiency of the treatment and assistance to advanced schistosomiasis patients in Hunan Province is obvious,and the government should continuously invest in the program.
