Abstract
Patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris were divided into two groups (control and treatment) of 54 patients per group. The control group received puerarin, whereas the treatment group received puerarin plus nicorandil. Therapeutic outcomes of two treatments were compared by assessing lower left ventricular end systolic diameter, lower left ventricular end diastolic diameter, higher left ventricular ejection fraction, duration of angina pectoris, number of angina attacks, dosage of nitroglycerin needed, plasma viscosity, whole blood viscosity, fibrinogen level, pro-inflammatory markers, as well as 36-item Short Form Survey scores. The total therapeutic rate was better in the group receiving both puerarin and nicorandil than puerarin alone. No difference was discovered in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. This led us to conclude that puerarin combined with nicorandil is more effective in treating coronary heart disease and angina pectoris and can improve cardiac functions, lessen chemodynamic indexes and inflammatory reactions of angina pectoris, and promote the quality of life of patients.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products.
To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine.
The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
