Abstract:
Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of dexamethasone combined with ulinastatin in pa-tients with acute severe viral myocarditis(ASVMC).Methods:Clinical data of 92 ASVMC patients treated in our hospital from August 2018 to November 2020 were retrospectively collected,and divided into dexamethasone group(n=46)and combined treatment group(n=46,dexamethasone combined with ulinastatin)according to different treatment program.Each group received corresponding medication based on routine therapy for four weeks.Thera-peutic effect,levels of myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes[cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ),creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)]and related indexes of cardiomyocyte apoptosis[soluble factor-related apoptosis(sFas),soluble factor-related apoptosis ligand(sFasL)]before and after treatment,and inci-dence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results:The total effective rate(91.30％vs.73.91％)of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of dexamethasone group(P=0.028).Compared with dexamethasone group,there were significant reductions in serum levels of cTnⅠ[(4.38±1.02)ng/ml vs.(1.76±0.24)ng/ml],CK-MB[(29.85±5.30)U/L vs.(20.26±4.18)U/L],LDH[(202.84±16.70)U/L vs.(184.21±12.63)U/L],sFas[(2.82±0.37)ng/L vs.(2.39±0.24)ng/L]and sFasL[(0.16±0.04)ng/L vs.(0.08±0.02)ng/L]in combined treatment group after 4-week treatment(P＜0.001 all).There was no sig-nificant difference in incidence rate of adverse reactions during treatment between two groups(P=0.711).Conclusion:Ulinastatin combined with dexamethasone can further inhibit myocardial cell apoptosis,and promote the improvement of myocardial function with significant therapeutic effect in patients with acute severe viral myocarditis and it's safe.
