Although coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke share important risk factors,some associations differ between these two components of cardiovascular diseases.The objective of this study was to compare vascular risk factor profiles and in-hospital outcomes in acute stroke (AS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.Methods We evaluated 383 consecutive patients who were admitted to the 94th Hospital of Chinese PLA and the Third Hospital of Nanchang with diagnoses of AS (ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage;n = 310) or AMI (n = 73) during a 2-year period.The frequency of risk factors and inhospital mortality rates were assessed in both groups.Results AS patients were significantly older than AMI patients ( 68.9 ± 9.1 years vs.62.8 ±11.7 years;P ＜ 0.01).AMI was significantly more common than AS in patients younger than 65 years;51% of this group had AMI and 26% had AS (P ＜ 0.001).Hypertension was more common in AS patients than in AMI patients (69% vs.58%;P = 0.042).Patients who died did not differ significantly in age between the groups.In-hospital mortality rates were significantly higher in AS than AMI cases (31% vs.12%,P ＜ 0.001 for all patients;37% vs.5%,P ＜ 0.001 for men).Women hospitalized for AMI were more likely to die in hospital than men (28% vs.5%;P = 0.002).Conclusions Patients with stroke and with AMI differ in their risk factor profile.Age at the time of presentation was a significant differentiating factor between patients with AS and AMI.We observed significantly higher in-hospital mortality for patients with AS (when adjusted for age) than for patients with AMI.(J Geriatr Cardiol 2008;5:223-226)

Objective To explore the effects of Qiuxieling associate with Licorzinc therapy on infantile rotavirus enteritis. Methods Infants with rotavirus enteritis were divided into 4 groups (symptomatic and supportive treatment group,Licorzinc group,Qiuxieling group,and Qiuxieling combined with Licorzinc group).The curative effect was analyzed.Results The total ef-fective rates of symptomatic and supportive treatment group,Licorzinc group,Qiuxieling group,and Qiuxieling combined with Licorzinc group were 77.5%,82.5%,85.0% and 92.5%.The average disease courses of symptomatic and supportive treatment group,Licorzinc group,Qiuxieling group,and Qiuxieling combined with Licorzinc group were (6.44 ± 0.79 ),(5.82 ± 0.55 ), (5.66±0.50)and (4.78 ±0.50)days.The curative effects were significantly higher in Qiuxieling combined with Licorzinc group compared to symptomatic and supportive treatment group,Licorzinc group and Qiuxieling group (P <0.05).Conclusion Qiuxiel-ing and Licorzinc were significantly effective in the treatment of infantile rotavirus diarrhea,and can short the disease course.

The purpose of this article was to review the current knowledge base related to the risk factors,pathogens,diagnosis and to review and evaluate the strategies to reduce ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP),especially ventilator bundles for prevention of VAP which including elevation of the head of the bed,daily sedative interruption and daily assessment readiness of extubate,peptic ulcer disease prophylaxis,deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis,daily oral care with chlorhexidine.This article also reviewed the role of new type endotracheal tube in reducing incidence of VAP.

The technique of nipple-areola complex (NAC)-sparing mastectomy (NSM) facilitates the breast reconstruction due to preserving the skin and NAC of breast in the treatment of breast cancer. Key issues still remain controversial in NSM, in terms of the role of radiotherapy combined with NSM and sequence of radiotherapy and NSM, which arise from the consideration of the oncology safety. Some investigations addressed that post-NSM external beam irradiation and intra-operative radiotherapy (IORT) combined with NSM could reduce the local recurrence rate. Based on the appropriate patient selection and good quality of surgery, radiotherapy would be applied in different strategies of combination with NSM according to the risk of local recurrence of the cancer.

Objective:To explore the impact of continuous nursing education on the quality of life, psychological state and satisfaction of patients with inflammatory bowel disease based on micro-video.Methods:In chronological order, 83 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (hospitalized from January to June, 2019 in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology) were divided into two groups, the control group with 42 cases (discharged from the hospital from January to March, 2019) carried out regular telephone continuing nursing education and the intervention group with 41 cases (discharged from hospital from April to June, 2019) were provided the continuous nursing education in the form of telephone plus micro-video. Before intervention and after 3 months of intervention, quality of life, levels of anxiety and depression and nursing satisfaction were evaluated by inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ), Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS), digital table method and compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in quality of life, levels of anxiety and depression before intervention between the two groups( P>0.05). After 3 months of intervention, the scores of IBDQ, SAS, SDS were 155.1±23.7, 58.7±15.1, 59.5±11.1 in the intervention group and 115.7±21.7, 71.5±16.7, 72.8±12.0 in the control group, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were 7.910, 3.642, 5.223, P<0.01). The nursing satisfaction score was 89.32±6.34 in the intervention group and 81.45±7.21 in the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t value was -5.284, P<0.01). Conclusions:Continuous nursing education in the form of micro-videos can increase the quality of life of the inflammatory bowel disease patients, improve mental state and their nursing satisfaction in further.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been the standard axillary intervention for breast cancer patients with clinical negative axillary lymph nodes.Complete axillary dissection could be omitted for patients with negative sentinel lymph nodes.While, the optimal axillary intervention for patients with 1-2 positive sentinel lymph nodes remained controversial.This review introduced the latest research results of the axillary management for early stage breast cancer patients with 1-2 positive sentinel lymph nodes.

Bone remains the predominant site of metastasis in advanced breast cancer. Bone metastases dramatically decrease the quality of life. Moreover, pathologic fractures and other skeletal-related events (SREs) caused by bone metastases could result in higher mortality risk in patients with breast cancer. Palliative radiotherapy is a crucial element in bone metastases treatment. The present review discusses the emerging evidence in bone metastases of breast cancer, focusing on optimized radiotherapy strategies and multidisciplinary management.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether miR-25 targets KLF4 to regulate the growth of gastric cancer cells and lucidate the mechanism of miR-25 producing functional effects in gastric cancer cells. Methods The expression levels of miR-25 and KLF4 were detected by qRT-PCR in 35 pairs of gastric cancer tissues of patients. Target genes of miR-25 were predicted using Targetscan and verified though dual luciferase activity assay and west-ern blot. MTT assay and clone formation assay were detected after downregulated miR-25 and overexpressed KLF4 respectively. Results miR-25 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues with KLF4 downexpresstion. Downreg-ulated miR-25 and overexpressed KLF4 respectively can significantly reduce the proliferation of gastric cancer cells,the results were opposite when overexpression of KLF4. Conclusion miR-25 promotes gastric cancer cells proliferation by targeting KLF4.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of pegaspargase (PEGASP) and L-asparaginase (L-ASP) in the treatment of NK/T-cell lymphoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 46 patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma in Department of Oncology of Hospital of Qingdao Commercial Staff from September 2009 to July 2015.There were 24 patients treated by PEG-ASP combined with GDP (gemcitabine + cisplatin + dexamethasone) as PEG-ASP group,and 22 patients treated by L-ASP combined with GDP as L-ASP group.The efficacy and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results In the PEG-ASP group,there were 11 patients with complete remission,7 patients with partial remission,and the complete remission rate and objective response rate were 45.83％ and 75.00％.In the L-ASP group,there were 9 patients with complete remission,6 patients with partial remission,and the complete remission rate and objective response rate were 40.91％ and 68.18％.There was no significant difference between the two groups in objective response rate (x2 =0.263,P =0.608).Adverse effects such as myelosuppression (25.00％ vs.22.73％,x2 =0.033,P =0.857),coagulopathy (8.33％ vs.9.10％,x2=0.008,P =0.927),liver and renal dysfunction (8.33％ vs.18.18％,x2 =0.982,P=0.322),gastrointestinal reaction (41.67％ vs.40.91％,x2 =0.003,P =0.958) were similar in the PEGASP group and L-ASP group.But the risk of allergic reaction incurred by PEG-ASP was much lower than L-ASP (4.17％ vs.36.36％),with a significant difference (x2 =7.561,P =0.006).Moreover,the PEGASP group had a shorter duration of hospitalization [(10.04 ± 1.63) d] than the L-ASP group [(13.09 ± 2.76)d],with a significant difference (t=-4.612,P=0.000).Conclusion The efficacy of PEG-ASP and L-ASP in the treatment of NK/T-cell lymphoma is similar,but the rate of allergic reaction of patients treated with PEG-ASP is significantly lower,and the hospitalization time is significantly shorter,which is worthy of further clinical application.
