Chinese Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery 2017;24(7):351-354
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between state trait anxiety and behavioral status in patients with sudden deafness. METHODS From April 2015 to June 2016, 140 cases of hospitalized patients with sudden hearing loss were selected as the observation group, and 140 healthy volunteers in our hospital for medical examination were selected as the control group. Average data, state trait anxiety, quality of life, and behavior survey were investigated in the two groups and correlation analysis was conducted. RESULTS The state trait anxiety score of the observation group was 51.20±4.19 points, and the control group was 34.40±3.49 points, and the state trait anxiety score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(t=12.949, P<0.05). The scores of physical, compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility and depression in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). The problem solving and help scores in the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group, while the fantasy and self accusation scores was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). In the observation group, Pearson correlation analysis shows anxiety scores were significantly correlated to the dimensions scores of quality of life, fantasy and self accusation scores(P<0.05), and were significantly negative correlated to the problem solving and help scores (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The patients with sudden deafness is accompanied by state trait anxiety and fantasy, self accusation and other bad behavior, it can seriously affect the patient's quality of life and form vicious circle, so the nursing intervention should be strengthened in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the causes and mechanism of preterm birth through analysis of the relationship between histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) in placental tissue and preterm birth.Methods Totally,327 preterm birth cases with report of placental pathologic examination were retrospectively collected from those women who delivered from December 1,2009 to December 1,2012 in Peking University First Hospital.According to the etiology of preterm birth,three groups were assigned:iatrogenic group (n=106),spontaneous contraction group (n=56) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) group (n=165).According to the gestational age at delivery,three subgroups were further divided:early-preterm group (≥ 28-< 32 weeks),mid-preterm group(≥ 32-< 34 weeks) and late-preterm group (≥ 34-< 37 weeks).HCA was confirmed when ≥ 5 neutrophil infiltration identified on the chorionic plate and amniotic membrane under high power light microscope after HE staining.The relationship between HCA and the different types of preterm birth and the different delivery gestational age were analyzed.Besides,the consistency between clinical chorioamnionitis and HCA was also analyzed.Chi-square test was applied for statistics.Results The incidence of HCA in the spontaneous contraction group was significantly higher than in the iatrogenic group and PROM group [66.1% (37/56) vs 25.5% (27/106) and 33.3% (55/165),x2=25.27 and 18.44,both P < 0.01],but no significant difference was found between the latter two groups (P > 0.05).Among the three subgroups,the early-,midand late-preterm subgroup,the incidence of HCA in the iatrogenic group was 24.0% (6/25),33.3% (8/24) and 22.8% (13/57) (P > 0.05),and 13/17,5/7 and 59.4% (19/32) in the spontaneous contraction group (P > 0.05).However,significantly higher incidence of HCA was shown in the early-preterm subgroup than in the mid-and late-preterm subgroup [70.0% (20/29) vs 41.2% (14/34) and 20.6% (21/102),X2=4.87 and 24.58,both P < 0.05] in the PROM group.Among the subjects in PROM group,those with the latency ≥ 72 h after the rupture of membranes had a higher incidence of HCA than those with the latency less than 72 h [68.6% (24/35) vs 23.8% (31/130),x2=24.82,P < 0.01].For all 327 cases in this study,the incidence of clinical chorioamnionitis was 15.9% (52/327),among which 31 cases [59.6% (31/52)] were diagnosed as HCA.Conclusions The occurrence of HCA is closely associated with spontaneous contraction preterm.Some iatrogenic preterm birth might cause HCA.The earlier the preterm birth and the longer the latency after PROM,the higher the incidence of HCA.Differential diagnosis is necessary as the inconsistency between clinical chorioamnionitis and HCA.
