Narrative medicine emphasizes paying attention to patients, and aims to improve doctors’ empathy for patients and their ability to reflect on their own medical behaviors by cultivating their narrative abilities of understanding, explanation, and feedback. Traditional Chinese medicine has always focused on people-oriented, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and focused on the physical and mental dual health of individuals. The medical humanistic spirit embodied by the two naturally coincides. From the perspective of narrative medicine, the ancient famous doctors in China have demonstrated their superb narrative ability of listening, communication, and reflection, which are valuable resources for narrative medicine and have important value and significance for enriching and developing narrative medicine.

Objective To explore the effect of mobile phone-based health education on independent living ability of postoperative patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods Sixty patients with postoperative hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent craniotomy in our hospital during March 2016 and December 2017 were divided into experimental and control groups, 30 cases in each group, according to the random number table method. Functional training conducted during hospitalization in both groups. After discharge, the control group used a telephone for follow-ups every 2 weeks and took part in a face-to-face training in the first month to implement continuous nursing intervention for a total of 3 months. After discharge, in the experimental group, various information forms of rehabilitation training for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were comprehensively integrated, and mobile phone education was used for a total of 3 months in addition to the training as in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of independent living ability between the two groups. Result The scores of independent living ability and self-care ability, action ability, metastatic ability, social cognitive ability and communication ability of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion The mobile phone-based education can promote the effect of rehabilitation exercise in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, so as to promote the independent living ability of patients.

Objective We have summarized the clinical characteristics of inappropriate antidiuresis(SIAD).Methods We adopted retrospective analysis to analyze the clinical and lab data of 40 cases.Results The most common causes of SIAD were malignant tumor,lung disease,and central nervous system disease.The five major abnormal lab data were:hypochloraemia,hypouricemia,hyponitremia,hypocalcemia,and low hematocrit.Conclusion It is important to diagnose SIAD as soon as possible,and patient presented hyponatremia combined with hypouricemia must be suspected to have SIAD.

Objective Based on Chinese guidelines for the management of ischemic stroke, a standardized stroke management program was performed to provide intensive education and training for medical physicians, aiming to enhance their knowledge and ability for ischemic stroke prevention and treatment, thereby reducing patients′ in-hospital cost and length of stay, and improving patients′ clinical prognosis. Methods This study was conducted in 20 general hospitals throughout Hainan province. A total of 163 physicians from 20 hospitals involved in the management of stroke patients were trained by highly experienced physicians based on the Chinese guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke 2014 and the Chinese guidelines for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack 2014. Prior to and post the standardized stroke management training, the data of 3218 and 3367 patients with ischemic stroke were respectively collected. Quality of life assessments including the Barthel index (BI) and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of all patients were recorded at baseline and after discharge. The length of stay and in-hospital cost were directly collected from the hospital information system. Results Physicians′ knowledge and ability manifested as testing scores were significantly improved after training (78.2 ± 15.5 vs 55.6 ± 10.7, t=69.1, P<0.01). The average length of stay of post-training patients was significantly shorter than that of pre-training patients ((8.7 ± 0.9) vs (11.7 ± 1.5) days, t=97.9, P<0.01). The average in-hospital cost of post-training patients was significantly less than that of pre-training patients ((7681.7 ± 1397.7) vs (11846.2 ± 2514.6) Yuan, t=82.5, P<0.01). Both BI (68.2 ± 3.2 vs 43.5 ± 5.3, t=227.7, P<0.01) and mRS score (2.74±0.51 vs 3.65±0.71, t=59.5, P<0.01) were significantly improved for post-training patients. Multivariate linear regression analysis illustrated that standardized stroke management was negatively associated with in-hospital cost (r=-0.461, P<0.01), length of stay (r=-0.357, P<0.01) and mRS score (r=-0.298, P<0.01), and was positively associated with levels of BI (r=0.376, P<0.01). Conclusion Standardized stroke management program might be a cost-effective choice for the management of ischemic stroke as it reduces the in-hospital cost and improves patients′BI and mRS levels.

Objective:To investigate the effects of gestational weight gain (GWG) at different stages on pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM), small for gestational age (SGA), and large for gestational age (LGA).Methods:This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study. Singleton pregnancies at 11-13 +6 weeks of gestation in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University from January 2017 to November 2019 were recruited. The maternal height, weight, blood pressure, and fetal ultrasonic parameters were measured at 19-23 +6, 29-34 +6, and 35-40 +6 weeks of gestation by face-to-face interview and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. All participants were grouped by body mass index (BMI) in the first trimester, with <18.50 kg/m 2 as underweight group, 18.50-23.99 kg/m 2 as normal group, ≥24.00 kg/m 2 as overweight/obesity group. Chi-square test and rank-sum test were adopted for comparison among groups. Weekly weight gain was converted into Z scores, and insufficient, appropriate, and excessive weight gain were respectively defined when Z<-1, -1≤ Z≤1, and Z>1. The effect of weekly weight gain at different gestational trimesters on pregnancy complications was analyzed by binary logistic regression. Results:Totally, 4 143 pregnant women entered the cohort. After excluding 327 cases, 3 816 were finally included in the analysis, with 394 in underweight group, 2 668 in normal group, and 754 in overweight/obesity group. Excessive weekly weight gain in the early second trimester was a risk factor for LGA( aOR=1.78, 95% CI:1.31-2.42, P<0.001), and in the later second trimester it was associated with preterm preeclampsia ( aOR=3.00, 95% CI: 1.26-7.10, P=0.013), gestational hypertension ( aOR=2.38, 95% CI: 1.44-3.94, P=0.001), and LGA ( aOR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.15-2.22, P=0.005). In the third trimester, excessive weekly weight gain was associated with higher risks of term preeclampsia ( aOR=2.70, 95% CI: 1.61-4.54, P<0.001) and gestational hypertension ( aOR=1.84, 95% CI: 1.05-3.21, P=0.033); while insufficient weekly weight gain was a risk factor for SGA ( aOR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.01-2.48, P=0.045), but a protective factor for term preeclampsia ( aOR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.14-0.97, P=0.041). Insufficient and excessive weekly weight gain in the early second trimester were not related to GDM (both P>0.05). Conclusions:GWG at different stages has different effects on pregnancy complications. A more relaxed control of GWG in the early second trimester combined with strict control in both the later second trimester and the third trimester may be a reasonable strategy to reduce the risk of preeclampsia without increasing the risk of SGA.

Objective: To explore the relationship between fetal nuchal translucency (NT) in the first trimester and pregnancy outcome. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in Nanjjing Drum Tower Hospital from December 2015 to December 2018, 4 958 singleton pregnant women were enrolled to screen fetal ultrasound structure and serology in the first trimester, ultrasound in the second trimester and neonatus physical examination 28 days after birth. According to the results of NT, 167 cases of fetus with increased NT (≥3.0 mm) and 4 791 cases of normal NT were divided, moreover, 86 cases with isolate increased NT and 81 cases of increased NT combined with structural abnormality. The prognosis of fetuses with different NT thickness was analyzed, and the pregnancy outcome of fetuses with isolate increased NT or combined with structural abnormality were analyzed. In the first trimester, if the fetal structure was abnormal or the serological screening result was high risk, the chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) would be performed by chorionic villus sampling to determine the prenatal diagnosis. Results: (1) The pregnancy outcome for fetus of normal NT: there were 4 791 cases with normal NT. Totally, 4 726 cases with normal NT and no structural abnormalities were screened out in the firsttrimester. In this group, 5 cases of aneuploidies were diagnosed based on high risk of maternal serum biomarkers and 83 cases of structural abnormalities were screened out in the subsequent ultrasound scan and the neonatal examination. Another 65 cases with normal NT present complicated with structural anomalies were screened out in the first trimester and 4 cases were diagnosed as aneuploidies. (2) The pregnancy outcome for fetus of isolate increased NT: 66 (76.7%, 66/86) cases of isolated increased NT were performed CMA, 3 cases were diagnosed as trisomy 21 and terminated pregnancy. Another 4 cases were terminated pregnancy privately without cytogenetic diagnosis. No further anomalies were found in 79 cases till 6 to 21 months postnatally. (3) The pregnancy outcome for fetus of increased NT with structural anomalies: increased NT present with structural anomalies were screened out by detailed anomaly scan in the first trimester and 32 of them were confirmed as aneuploidies. In this group, 70 cases terminated pregnancy, 2 cases had spontaneous miscarriages and 9 cases had liveborns (1 newborn was found ventricular septal defect). (4) The pregnancy outcome for fetus of increased NT with or without structural anomalies: the percentage of aneuploidies in fetuses with isolated increased NT (3.5%, 3/86) was significantly lower than those with structural abnormalities (39.5%,32/81). The healthy survival rate in fetuses with isolated increased NT (91.9%,79/86) was significantly higher than those with structural abnormalities (9.9%, 8/81). Conclusions A detailed first-trimester anomaly scan could improve prenatal screening efficiency of birth defects. Compared to the fetuses with increased NT combined with structural abnormalities, the healthy survival rate of fetuses with isolated increased NT based on detailed first-trimester anomaly scan is higher and the percentage of fetal aneuploidies is lower.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations, imaging and pathology features, treatment, and prognosis of endocrine glands involved patients with IgG4-related disease ( IgG4-RD) . Methods Ten patients admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2018 diagnosed as IgG4-RD with endocrine glands involved were enrolled in this study. All the clinical data were collected and analyzed. Results Ten patients, 4 males and 6 females, median 55 years old at the onset were enrolled, five patients with single organ involvement ( 1 case involved in pituitary, and 4 cases involved in thyroid) , while another 5 patients with 2 and more organs involved. C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate was elevated in 8 patients, antinuclear antibodies were positive in 7, and serum total IgE was elevated in 6 patients. Nine patients were treated with oral glucocorticoids, among whom 3 patients were treated in combination with immunosuppressive agents or rituximab. After treatment, the clinical symptoms were alleviated and imaging was improved in all patients. Serum IgG levels were significantly decreased in all patients and normalized in 5 patients. Conclusion For the patients with multiple endocrine gland diseases and elevated IgG4 level, the possibility of IgG4-RD should be carefully considered and should be confirmed by tissue biopsy and histopathology.

OBJECTIVETo study the dietary habits of school-age children in urban and rural districts and their association with blood pressure levels in Beijing, China.

METHODSA stratified, randomly clustered sampling design was used, 29 primary and secondary schools from four urban districts and three rural districts in Beijing were randomly selected in 2004. 20 638 children aged 6-18 years old were surveyed, and 19 072 of them provided completed usable data. The weight, height and blood pressure of the subjects were measured according to standard method.10 food-groups' information was collected by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The relationship between different dietary habits and the blood pressure levels in school children was analyzed by multiple linear regression model.

RESULTSThe prevalence of obesity among children in urban area (12.2%, 1 218/9 984) was higher than that in rural area (6.7%, 609/9 088) (χ(2) = 4.62, P < 0.05) , whereas the prevalence of hypertension among children in urban area (8.0%, 799/9 984) was lower than that in rural area (8.9%, 809/9 088) (χ(2) = 167.32, P < 0.05) . The diastolic blood pressure (DBP) among children was (65.7 ± 8.6) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) in urban area and (67.0 ± 8.7) mmHg in rural area, respectively (F = 86.44, P < 0.05) , and the systolic blood pressure (SBP) among children was (103.4 ± 12.2) mmHg in urban area and (104.3 ± 11.6) mmHg in rural area, respectively (F = 11.33, P < 0.05) . Factor analysis revealed 4 dietary habits labeled prudent habit, protein habit, high-fat and high-calorie habit and vegetables and fruits habit. The 4 dietary habits' variance contribution rate respectively was 24.7%, 14.6%, 14.0%, 8.9%, and the 4 dietary habits totally reflect 62.2% characteristics of the 10 food-groups.In urban area, prudent habit was inversely associated with DBP (β' = -0.026, P < 0.05) , Protein habit was inversely associated with both children's SBP (β' = -0.018, P < 0.05) and DBP (β' = -0.030, P < 0.05) .In rural area, prudent habit was associated with children's SBP (β' = -0.050, P < 0.05) and DBP (β' = -0.039, P < 0.05) .

CONCLUSIONSThe dietary habits of school age children varied by sociodemographic characters in Beijing. The prudent habit and protein habit may decrease the children's blood pressure levels.
