目的:觀察辛伐他汀、吡格列酮和苯磺酸左旋氨氯地平聯合治療代謝綜合征療效。方法:76例初診代謝綜合征患者,服用吡格列酮15mg/d、苯磺酸左旋氨氯地平25mg/d、辛伐他汀10mg/d,療程1個月。觀察治療前后血壓、腰圍、體重指數、血糖、血胰島素、血尿酸和血脂水平等變化。結果:患者治療后血糖、血脂、胰島素水平、血壓均明顯降低,差別有統計學意義(Plt;001)。腰圍、體重指數略有下降,無統計學意義,血尿酸變化不明顯。結論:吡格列酮、辛伐他汀和苯磺酸左旋氨氯地平聯合治療代謝綜合征能夠改善胰島素抵抗和代謝異常,療效可靠、服藥簡單、依從性好,效價比合理,無不良反應。
Objective To determine if mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs) could be reconstructed as a vehicle for angiopoietin-1 ( Ang1) gene therapy in lung injury. Methods MSCs were obtained from adult male inbred mice and cultured to passage four. The cells were identified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting ( FACS) analysis and cell differentiation detection. Lentiviral vectors contained GFP and Ang1 gene were conducted in 293T cells through three plasmids co-transfection method. Then MSCs were transduced with Ang1 gene efficiently through lentiviral vectors. The mRNA expression of Ang1 in MSCs was detected by RT-PCR before and after transfection. Also fluorescence from MSCs was detected by fluorescence microscope every day after transfection. Two hours after LPS inhalation, mice were infused via jugular veinwith normal saline ( NS group) , lentiviral vector carrying Ang1 ( Ang1 group) , lentiviral vector carrying GFP ( MSCs group) , and lentiviral vector carrying Ang1 /GFP ( MSCs-Ang1 group) , respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to compare the effects of MSCs-Ang1 on survival. And ectogenic MSCs origined lung cells were investigated in receipt mice. Results After passaged and purification,MSCs were confirmed to have the potential of differentiation. The lentiviral vectors carrying Ang1 and GFP were also identified. After transfection, the mRNA expression of Ang1 in MSCs was enhanced. Through the fluorescence microscope,MSCs get the most green fluorescence expression five days after the transfection when MOI was 20. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that MSCs-Ang1 infusion had improved survival rates of lung injury rats compared with the control, but it did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0. 066) . Cells expressing GFP in lung tissues can be observed after MSCs were transplanted in vivo. Conclusions MSCs expressing Ang1 high can be constructed through lentiviral vector transfer, and MSCs-origined cells can be detected in receipt lungs after transplantation. So MSCs may serve as a vehicle for gene therapy in lung injury.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in Chinese patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). MethodsIn a multicenter,randomized,double-blind,comparative clinical trial,87 patients with IPF were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (43 patients) were treated with pirfenidone (1 200 mg per day) for 48 weeks,while Group B (44 patients) were treated with placebo. Clinical features were compared between two groups including efficacy indicators (pulmonary function,6MWT,and quality of life scores) and safety indicators (incidence of adverse events). ResultsForced vital capacity (FVC) was increased by (90±410)mL in Group A and decreased by (70±310)mL in Group B (P<0.05);In Group A,forced expiratory volume in 1 second was raised by (100±330)mL and (110±240)mL following 12 and 24 weeks after treatment,significantly different from group B (P<0.05). There were significant differences in 6MWT between two groups 36 and 48 weeks after treatment respectively(both P<0.05). Quality of life scores,including the St. George's score (excluding symptoms) and dyspnea score,were significantly higher in Group A than Group B (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between Groups A and B (83.72% vs. 72.73%,P>0.05). ConclusionDomestic pirfenidone is clinically effective and safe for the treatment of IPF in Chinese patients.
ObjectiveTo highlight the characteristics of bronchial foreign body in Adults. MethodsThe clinical data of three patients with bronchial foreign body were analyzed and related literatures were reviewed. ResultsForeign bodies in three patients were all located in right bronchi. Their initial diagnoses were tumor, pneumonia and foreign body, respectively. They all didn't offer a definite history of foreign body aspiration. Foreign bodies in three patients were diagnosed and treated by bronchoscopy. Through reviewing 978 related literatures, we found 2920 cases of bronchial foreign body in adults. 75.00% of them didn't offer a history of foreign body aspiration. 80.13% of them were misdiagnosed as other diseases before bronchoscopy, such as pneumonia(31.23%), lung cancer(25.21%), tuberculosis(5.81%), bronchiectasis(6.58%) and asthma(12.47%). Some of them were misdiagnosed for over 30 years. ConclusionsBronchial foreign bodies in adults are easily misdiagnosed. Bronchoscopy plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment of bronchial foreign body.
