Objective:Dysfunction of cardiac autonomic nerve system is considered as one of risk factors for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Heart rate variability (HRV) has been used to study the correlation between damage of coronary artery and dysfunction of autonomic nervous system. We hypothesize the correlation between damage of coronary artery and dysfunction of autonomic nervous system by HRV among subjects with stable angina.Methods:A 236 subjects who diagnosed as stable angina pectoris by elective coronary angiography, were divided into two groups by Gensini score system (GS):GS≤32 (GS1) and GS2>32 (GS2). Subgroups were divided based on location of stenosis lesions and the number of coronary artery disease. 86 subjects suspicious with stable angina pectoris with normal coronary angiography were selected as the control group. All subjects were received 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram and the result of time-domain HRV was analyzed (SDNN, SDANN, SDNNind, RMSSD, PNN50).Results:Compared with control group, SDNN, SDNNind and RMSSD lower in GS1, and SDNN, SDANN, SDNNind, RMSSD, PNN50 lower in GS2; ccompared with GS1, SDNN was lower in GS2. Compared with control group, SDNN in one-vessel, SDNN, SDANN in two-vessel diseased and in three-vessel diseased were lower, and compared with two-vessel diseased, SDNN, SDANN lower in three-vessel diseased. Compared with right-coronary artery diseased, SDNN and SDANN in left-coronary artery diseased group were lower, while compared with lesions in left circumflex, SDNN in lesions in left anterior descending artery lower.Conclusion:HRV may be play a crucial role in estimating the correlation between damage of coronary artery and dysfunction of autonomic nerve system.
Acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the causes of death and disability in patients with cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors of in-hospital and long-term survival in patients with acute STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with STEMI undergoing PCI were divided into the death group (n = 54) and the survival group (n = 306) based on the outcomes during hospitalization. The routine blood and biochemistry tests, Killip classes and global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) risk score were detected. The 1-, 2-and 3-year survival rates after PCI was observed through a 3-year follow-up. The survival factors, survival rates and multivariate analyses were conducted using Logistic regression analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression. The incidence of cardiogenic shock and anterior wall MI (AWMI), the serum levels of γ-glutamyl endopeptidase (γ-GGT) and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), Killip classes and GRACE risk score were higher in the death group, compared with the survival group. AWMI, cardiogenic shock, high serum levels of γ-GGT and CK-MB, Killip class III-IV and high GRACE risk scores were associated with in-hospital mortality. AWMI, cardiogenic shock, Killip class III-IV and high GRACE risk scores were correlated with a poor long-term survival. Our findings have demonstrated that AWMI, cardiogenic shock, high serum levels of γ-GGT and CK-MB, Killip class III-IV, and high GRACE risk scores are risk factors for in-hospital and long-term prognosis of acute STEMI patients.
Objective. This study was aimed to investigate the clinical effect of Chinese herbal decoction combined with basic chemoradiotherapy and nursing intervention in the treatment of cervical cancer and the effect on serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels. Methods. A total of 200 cervical cancer patients in our hospital from June 2015 to November 2018 were selected and randomly divided into a study group and a control group. The control group was given chemoradiotherapy and psychological nursing treatment, and the study group was given self-made Chinese herbal decoction on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy and serum CEA, CA125, and TNF-α levels were assessed. Results. After treatment, the total effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group. The levels of serum CEA, CA125, and TNF-α were decreased in the two groups after treatment, and the decrease in the study group was more significant than that in the control group. After treatment, CD3+ and CD4+ levels were increased compared with those before treatment, and the increase in the study group was also more obvious than that of the control group. The level of CD8+ was decreased compared with before treatment, and the decrease in the study group was more notable than that of the control group. The two-year cumulative survival rate of the study group was markedly higher than that of the control group. The quality-of-life of patients treated for 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years was dramatically improved compared to before treatment. The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was lower than that of the control group. Conclusion. The treatment of basic chemoradiotherapy and psychological nursing intervention combined with Chinese herbal decoction on cervical cancer patients can improve the clinical treatment effects, improve the patient’s body immunity, reduce serum CEA, CA125, and TNF-α levels, prolong survival time, improve life quality, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, and it is worthy of clinical promotion.
