Methods: Ninety ACS patients were randomized into two groups, the control group treated with conventional therapy and the SMI group treated with SMI. The patients' cardiac function was noted and the content of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in venous blood was measured before treatment and 1 week and 3 weeks after treatment, so as to observe and compare their changes between the two groups. Results: The cardiac output, stroke volume and ejection fraction in the SMI group after 3 weeks of treatment were all higher than those in the control group (P〈0.05). The serum content of hs-CRP was reduced in both groups (P〈0.05), but the reduction in the SMI group was more significant than that in the control group (P〈0.05). Conclusion: SMI could improve the cardiac function and further inhibit the inflammatory reaction in patients with ACS.展开更多

Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with CHD-DM, their diagnosis confirmed by coronary arteriography, were equally randomized into a control group treated with conventional treatment and a treated group treated with conventional treatment plus SMI. The changes in blood levels of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), as well as endothelium-dependent vascular dilating function and heart function in the patients were observed before treatment and after the 3-week treatment. Results: After being treated with SMI for 3 weeks, in the treated group, blood level of NO was raised significantly from 69.8±33.1 μmol/L to 120.1±50.8μmol/L, and ET-1 was lowered from 70.1±32.1 ng/L to 46.2±21.3 ng/L, respectively (P〈0.01); that of Ang Ⅱ was lowered from 81.3±24.3 ng/L to 50.2±27.3 ng/L (P〈0.01); brachial arterial post-congestion blood flow increasing rate was raised from 389.4±26.3% to 459.3±27.8% (P〈0.01); and the improvement in heart function as seen through the ejection fraction (EF) was increased from 44±5% to 68±6% (P〈0.01), all the changes being more significant than those in the control group (all P〈0.01). Conclusion: SMI can improve not only the endothelial function in CHD-DM patients, but also heart contraction significantly.展开更多
