Objective: To observe the effect of Shengui Yixin decoction on plasma monocyte Toll-like receptors 4/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/NF-κB) signal pathway in patients with chronic heart failure. Method: A total of 124 patients with chronic heart failure were divided into control group (50 cases) and treatment group (74 cases) by random number table. The control group was given routine western medicine therapy. The treatment group was given Shengui Yixin decoction for 4 weeks
1 agent/day in addition to the therapy of control group. Heart rate (HR)
left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDD)
and 6 minute walking distance (6 mWT)
TLR4
NF-κB
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
interleukin1β (IL-1β) mRNA and protein expressions in two groups before and after treatment were observed. Patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months after discharge. Rate of rehospitalization
fatality and the number of rehospitalization were compared between two groups. Result: Compared with control group
the total efficiency of treatment group increased significantly (P<0.05). After the treatment
HR
LVDD
TLR4
NF-κB
TNF-α
IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA and protein expressions of treatment group were significantly lower than those of control group; LVEF
6 mWT of treatment group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). both groups showed alleviations compared with before hospitalization (P<0.05). Rehospitalization rate
death rate and frequency of rehospitalization of treatment group were lower than those of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Shengui Yixin decoction in treating patients with chronic heart failure can significantly inhibit TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway and inflammation and improve the patients' cardiac function.
