目的:研究龙蛇九味汤联合坎地沙坦酯片治疗高血压的疗效及其对患者肾素(Renin)、血管紧张素Ⅱ(angiotensinⅡ,AngⅡ)及醛固酮(aldosterone,ALD)水平的影响。方法:将高血压患者99例按照随机数字表法分为观察组(50例,予龙蛇九味汤联合坎地沙坦酯片治疗)和对照组(49例,予坎地沙坦酯片治疗)。比较两组治疗效果,观察两组患者治疗前后甘油三酯(triglyceride,TG)、总胆固醇(total cholesterol,TC)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(high density lipoprotein cholesterol,HDL-C)及低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(low density lipoprotein cholesterol,LDL-C)水平。检测两组患者治疗前后血浆Renin、AngⅡ及ALD水平。结果:观察组疗效优于对照组(P<0.05);治疗后观察组TG、TC、LDL-C及血压晨峰值、收缩压、舒张压以及血浆Renin、AngⅡ、ALD均低于对照组(P<0.05),HDL-C高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:龙蛇九味汤联合坎地沙坦酯有助于纠正高血压患者血脂紊乱情况,提高治疗效果,可能与其降低Renin、AngⅡ及ALD水平,调节肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统有关。
The present letter to the editor is related to the study titled‘Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 improves liver fibrosis in mice by regulating autophagy of hepatic stellate cells’.Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 can alleviate liver fibrosis by regulating autophagy of hepatic stellate cells and affecting the renin-angiotensin system.
BACKGROUND Many guidelines have recommended renin-angiotensin system inhibitors(RASI)as the first-line treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD).We studied RASI prescription trends from 2010 to 2019,and analyzed the characteristics associated with RASI prescription in Chinese hospitalized CKD patients.AIM To study the prescription of renin angiotensin system inhibitors in hospitalized patients with CKD in China.METHODS It was retrospectively,cross-sectional reviewed RASI prescriptions in hospitalized CKD patients in China from 2010 to 2019.RASI prescribing trends were analyzed from 2010 to 2019,and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify characteristics associated with RASI prescription.RESULTS A total of 35090 CKD patients were included,with 10043(28.6%)RASI prescriptions.Among these patients,18919(53.9%)met the criteria for RASI treatments based on the 2012 kidney disease:Improving global outcomes guidelines.Of these,7246(38.3%)patients received RASI prescriptions.RASI prescriptions showed an initial rapid increase from 2011 to 2012,reached its peak around 2015 and 2016,and then exhibited a subsequent slight decreasing trend.Both bivariate and multivariate analyses showed that several characteristics,including the male gender,age less than 60-year-old,nephrology department admission,lower CKD stage,history of hypertension or diabetes,proteinuria,glomerulonephritis as the CKD etiology,and non-acute kidney injury were associated with RASI prescriptions.CONCLUSION The frequency of RASI prescriptions showed an initial increase but a slight decreasing trend in more recent years.CKD patients with certain characteristics such as elderly age,advanced disease stage,surgery department admission,or acute kidney injury were less likely to receive RASI prescriptions.In the application of RASI in hospitalized CKD patients is insufficient.The actual clinical practice needs to be improved.The development of related research is helpful to guide the correct choice of clini
