Aims. This study is designed to explore the effect of compound Danshen injection combined with magnesium sulfate on TNF-α, NO, oxidative stress, and therapeutic efficacy in severe preeclampsia (S-PE). Methods. Sixty S-PE patients were placed into the control group and the therapy group, randomly. The control group was under the treatment of magnesium sulfate, and the therapy group was under the treatment of compound Danshen injection with magnesium sulfate. After treatment, the therapeutic efficacy of the two groups was comparatively analyzed. Results. 7 days after treatment, DBP, SBP, and 24 h urinary protein were sharply lower than those before treatment. The 24 h urinary protein was notably lower in the therapy group. After treatment, the expression level of TNF-α in both groups was notably higher than before treatment, while NO level was higher than that before treatment. Furthermore, D-D level in two groups was dramatically decreased compared to that before treatment. Moreover, Fib, PT, and APTT in two groups showed statistically significant differences after 7 days. The contents of ALT, AST, BUN, and Scr in therapy group were notably lower than those in control group. Conclusion. Our results indicated that compound Danshen injection could improve renal function, blood hypercoagulability, and oxidative stress level and had a better therapeutic effect on S-PE.
Background. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) refers to the acute necrosis of part of the myocardium caused by persistent and severe myocardial ischemia. This study is aimed at investigating the efficacy of tirofiban combined with ticagrelor in AMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its effects on plasma activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer (D-D) levels, myocardial injury markers, and inflammatory factors. Methods. 68 AMI patients with AMI who received PCI were divided into control group and observation group (n =34) according to postoperative treatment methods. Both groups received ticagrelor tablets (90 mg). The observation group was additionally given tirofiban (10 μg/kg). APTT, FIB, D-D, serum myoglobin (MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), serum C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-6, myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels and the peak time in both groups were detected. The incidence of cardiovascular events and drug safety were compared. Results. After treatment, APTT was increased, and FIB and D-D levels were decreased in both groups. After treatment, the APTT in the observation group was longer, and FIB and D-D levels were lower than those in the control group. The peak time of serum MB and cTnI in the observation group was earlier than that in the control group. The levels of serum MB and cTnI in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. After treatment, serum CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, and MPO levels were decreased. And the incidence of cardiovascular events was reduced. Conclusion. Tirofiban combined with ticagrelor can improve coagulation function, protect myocardium, relieve inflammation, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with AMI after PCI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
