Methods： Fourteen healthy male volunteers were randomly divided into a control group and a Chinese medicine （CM） group （7 in each group） by a random digital table based on their body weight. Both groups underwent6^° HDBR for 60 days. Subjects in the CM group received daily TYP pills and subjects in the control group received daily placebo pills. Cardiac systolic and pumping functions were measured by echocardiography before HDBR; on days 20, 42, and 57 of HDBR; and on day 3 of recovery after HDBR （R＋3）. Cardiopulmonary functional reserve and exercise capacity were evaluated before HDBR, on day 29, and on day R＋3 by exercise testing. Results： The heart rate （HR） increased gradually during HDBR. The HR was significantly higher on day 57 than before HDBR in the control group （P〈0.05）, but did not increase significantly in the CM group. The stroke volume/stroke volume index, ejection fraction, and left ventricular fractional shortening tended to decrease over time in the control group, but not in the CM group. These parameters were significantly higher in the CM group than in the control group on day 42 （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）. Exercise testing showed that maximum 02 consumption （VO2max）, metabolic equivalents, relative 02 consumption （VO2）, 02 pulse, and exercise duration were significantly lower on day 29 than before HDBR in the control group, but not in the CM group. Conclusions： Sixty days of 6^° HDBR induced a reduction in cardiac systolic and pumping functions, and reduced cardiopulmonary functional reserve and exercise capacity. Administration of TYP significantly improved cardiac systolic and pumping functions, and maintained cardiopulmonary functional reserve and exercise capacity.展开更多

In the control group, ischemia/reperfusion animals(Group I/R, n=10) were subjected to thirty-minute occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery and two-hour reperfusion. Animals in hypovolemic hypotension preconditioning group (Group HHP, n=14) experienced brief systemic ischemia preconditioning through blood withdrawl to lower blood pressure to 40%-50% of the baseline before myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded. Blood sample was taken to measure superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) changes with blood gas analysis. Myocardium specimens were sampled to examine apoptosis-related gene interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) mRNA. Results: Cardiac mechanical function and lung gas exchange remained stable in Group HHP with a significant increase in NO level; while in Group I/R without preconditioning, cardiopulmonary dysfunction was present after 2 h reperfusion associated with a significant reduction in NO formation and an increase in MDA (P<(0.001)). There was negative expression of ICE mRNA in the two groups.Conclusions: Hypovolemic hypotension preconditioning significantly improves cardiopulmonary function and increases NO formation and the protective benefit associated with hypovolemic hypotension preconditioning of the heart may be regulated through NO mediated mechanism.展开更多

Therefore, developing a scientific and effective rehabilitation training program is of great significance. This study first analyzes the theoretical basis of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation training, including the effects of aerobic exercise, interval training, and strength training on cardiopulmonary function. Based on this, a comprehensive rehabilitation training program is designed, which includes personalized training plans, comprehensive interventions, multidisciplinary collaboration, patient education, and regular follow-up visits. The cardiopulmonary rehabilitation training plan developed in this study has certain scientific practicability, which provides a theoretical basis for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation training, and also provides a reference for medical institutions, rehabilitation centers and communities, which is helpful for promotion and application to a wider range of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases.展开更多

Methods Twenty infants with VSD were enrolled in the study from Jan. to Dec. 2004. They were divided into two groups: pulmonary hypertension group and non-pulmonary hypertension group, ten infants respectively. Pulmonary function parameters were measured before CPB and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24h after CPB, the following data were recorded- duration for mechanical ventilation ( Tmv) and staying in the cardiac intensive care unit ( Tcicu) after cardiac surgery. Results Before CPB, the pulmonary function parameters in non-pulmonary hypertension group were more superior than in pulmonary hypertension group (P < 0. 01). By contraries, the pulmonary function parameters in every time stage after CPB statistically significant decreased in non-pulmonary hypertension group (P <0. 05), especially at 6, 9, and 15h after CPB (P < 0. 01). In pulmonary hypertension group, the pulmonary function parameters in 3h after CPB were more improved than before CPB, though there was no statistical significance. But they had statistically significant decreased at 9, 12, 15h after CPB (P < 0. 05). There was a similar change in pulmonary function between two groups at 21, 24h after CPB. Conclusion Exposure to CPB adversely affects pulmonary function after surgical repair of VSD in infants. We consider that the benefits of the surgical correction in infants with pulmonary hypertension outweight the negative effects of CPB on pulmonary function. We should improve cardiac function to avoid the presence of the nadir trough in pulmonary function. The infants with pulomonary hypertension also have ability to wean from mechanical ventilation as soon as possible, if the hemodynamics is stable, and without the responsive pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary hypertension crisis after surgical repair.展开更多

Methods The 51 healthy subjects were recruited for the six-minute walk test. Data of pulmonary gas exchange breath by breath, such as VO2 , VCO2 were real-time measured with wireless remote sensing K4B2, so to study the relationship between peak oxygen uptake and the ambulation distance. Results It was noticed that there was a positive linear correlation between the ambulation distance and PVO2 （ r =0. 619, P 〈0. 001 ） in six-minute walk test. The regression equation was set up （ VO2/kg =0. 05D -6. 331, P 〈 0. 001 ）. PVO2 〉 PVCO2 ,R 〈 1 were found,which suggested that 6MWT was a test below anaerobic threshold. Conclusions There was a closely positive linear correlation between the ambulation distance and PVO2, which is safety, convenient and valuable for the evaluation of cardiopulmonary function and the treatment of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.展开更多

文摘Objective： To study the changes in cardiopulmonary function induced by mid/long-term simulated microgravity with 6^° head down bed rest （HDBR）, and the effects of Taikong Yangxin Prescription （太空养心方, TYP） as a countermeasure. Methods： Fourteen healthy male volunteers were randomly divided into a control group and a Chinese medicine （CM） group （7 in each group） by a random digital table based on their body weight. Both groups underwent6^° HDBR for 60 days. Subjects in the CM group received daily TYP pills and subjects in the control group received daily placebo pills. Cardiac systolic and pumping functions were measured by echocardiography before HDBR; on days 20, 42, and 57 of HDBR; and on day 3 of recovery after HDBR （R＋3）. Cardiopulmonary functional reserve and exercise capacity were evaluated before HDBR, on day 29, and on day R＋3 by exercise testing. Results： The heart rate （HR） increased gradually during HDBR. The HR was significantly higher on day 57 than before HDBR in the control group （P〈0.05）, but did not increase significantly in the CM group. The stroke volume/stroke volume index, ejection fraction, and left ventricular fractional shortening tended to decrease over time in the control group, but not in the CM group. These parameters were significantly higher in the CM group than in the control group on day 42 （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）. Exercise testing showed that maximum 02 consumption （VO2max）, metabolic equivalents, relative 02 consumption （VO2）, 02 pulse, and exercise duration were significantly lower on day 29 than before HDBR in the control group, but not in the CM group. Conclusions： Sixty days of 6^° HDBR induced a reduction in cardiac systolic and pumping functions, and reduced cardiopulmonary functional reserve and exercise capacity.

文摘Objective: To identify the protective effects of hypovolemic hypotension preconditioning on cardiopulmonary function after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and to explore the possible mechanism.Methods: Twenty-four male white rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups. In the control group, ischemia/reperfusion animals(Group I/R, n=10) were subjected to thirty-minute occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery and two-hour reperfusion. Animals in hypovolemic hypotension preconditioning group (Group HHP, n=14) experienced brief systemic ischemia preconditioning through blood withdrawl to lower blood pressure to 40%-50% of the baseline before myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded. Blood sample was taken to measure superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) changes with blood gas analysis. Myocardium specimens were sampled to examine apoptosis-related gene interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) mRNA. Results: Cardiac mechanical function and lung gas exchange remained stable in Group HHP with a significant increase in NO level; while in Group I/R without preconditioning, cardiopulmonary dysfunction was present after 2 h reperfusion associated with a significant reduction in NO formation and an increase in MDA (P<(0.001)). There was negative expression of ICE mRNA in the two groups.Conclusions: Hypovolemic hypotension preconditioning significantly improves cardiopulmonary function and increases NO formation and the protective benefit associated with hypovolemic hypotension preconditioning of the heart may be regulated through NO mediated mechanism.

文摘BACKGROUND Current treatments for chronic heart failure(CHF)are therapeutically ineffective.The optimization of treatments for this disease needs to be explored and analyzed.AIM To analyze the effect of using Luhong Formula in the cardiac rehabilitation of patients with CHF and its influence on cardiopulmonary function(CPF)and prognosis.METHODS In total,160 patients with CHF admitted between June 2022 and June 2023 were selected,including 75 receiving perindopril(control group)and 85 receiving Luhong Formula(research group).We conducted comparative analyses on the curative effects of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes and cardiac function,CPF[oxygen consumption at the anaerobic threshold(VO2 AT)and at peak exercise(peak VO2)],echocardiographic indexes[left atrial volume index(LAVI),left ventricular muscle mass index(LVMI),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)],and prognosis[major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)at 6 months follow-up].RESULTS The research group showed markedly higher curative effects of TCM syndromes and cardiac function than the control group.In addition,post-treatment VO2 AT,peak VO2,LVMI and LVEF in the research group were significantly higher,whereas LAVI was significantly lower,than those of the control group.Furthermore,fewer patients in the research group developed MACEs at the 6-month follow-up.CONCLUSION Luhong Formula is more therapeutically effective than perindopril for the cardiac rehabilitation of patients with CHF,specifically in enhancing CPF and prognosis.

文摘The most common symptom of patients with heart failure is reduced exercise tolerance,as indicated by decreased peak oxygen uptake(VO2peak),which is associated with both reduced quality of life and survival.Cardiac rehabilitation is a safe and effective treatment for clinically stable patients with heart failure,and is associated with improvements in cardiopulmonary function,muscle strength,physical functional performance,and quality of life.Further,cardiac rehabilitation is associated with a reduction in heart failure hospitalization and mortality.Despite evidence of these benefits,cardiac rehabilitation referral and compliance among patients with heart failure remains low.In this review,we discuss exercise and training program selection for patients with heart failure,including optimal exercise training intensity,and a summary of recent literature on the use of cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart failure.
文摘Objectives To assess the relationship between peak oxygen consumption （PVO2） and the ambulation distance in six-minute walk test （6MWT）among the healthy subjects. Methods The 51 healthy subjects were recruited for the six-minute walk test. Data of pulmonary gas exchange breath by breath, such as VO2 , VCO2 were real-time measured with wireless remote sensing K4B2, so to study the relationship between peak oxygen uptake and the ambulation distance. Results It was noticed that there was a positive linear correlation between the ambulation distance and PVO2 （ r =0. 619, P 〈0. 001 ） in six-minute walk test. The regression equation was set up （ VO2/kg =0. 05D -6. 331, P 〈 0. 001 ）. PVO2 〉 PVCO2 ,R 〈 1 were found,which suggested that 6MWT was a test below anaerobic threshold. Conclusions There was a closely positive linear correlation between the ambulation distance and PVO2, which is safety, convenient and valuable for the evaluation of cardiopulmonary function and the treatment of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
文摘Background The effects of chest compressions to hemodynamic and respiratory parameters during hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation （CPR） in a non-arrested patient who suddenly collapses are confusing.In this research,we investigated the effects of chest compressions in a non-arrested porcine model.Methods Fourteen male domestic pigs were randomized into sham control group （SHAM group,only anesthetized and instrumented without chest compression,n=6） or chest compression group （CC group,2 minutes of chest compressions,n=8）.Continuous hemodynamic parameters,dynamic lung compliance （Cdyn）,and blood gas analysis outcomes were recorded.Serum levels of catecholamine were measured at baseline and 2 minutes,30 minutes,4 hours,and 24 hours after chest compressions.Chest computed tomography （CT） was performed at 30 minutes and 24 hours.Conventional histopathology evaluation was performed.Results After two minutes of chest compressions in the CC group,heart rate and extravascular lung water increased significantly; mean arterial pressure,stroke volume,and global ejection fraction significantly decreased.Cdyn significantly decreased to valley levels at 30 minutes and slowly recovered.Compared with the baseline,serum levels of catecholamine significantly increased at 2 minutes and rapidly decreased 24 hours later.At 30 minutes after chest compressions,chest CT showed local exudation,which was absorbed 24 hours later.Conclusions This research showed that 2 minutes of chest compressions causes various heart and lung tissue damage in the normal a normal porcine model.It also impacts the hemodynamic and Cdyn.
