Objective:To conduct scoping review of researches on application of traditional Chinese medicine exercises in exercise rehabilitation of patients with heart failure, so as to provide reference for effective clinical intervention of traditional Chinese medicine exercises.Methods:Chinese and English literature published in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database and China Biology Medicine disc were searched by computer, and the search deadline was from database establishment to May 28, 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review Guide was used as a methodological framework to summarize and analyze the included literature.Results:A total of 19 literatures were included, including 17 randomized controlled trials and 2 quasi-randomized controlled trials. The subjects of the intervention were heart failure patients with New York Heart Association heart function gradeⅠ toⅢ. The types of exercises mainly included Eight Pieces of Brocade and Tai Chi. The intervention duration was mostly 30 min each time, and the frequency was mostly 3 to 5 times a week. The intervention intensity was mostly based on The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), and the intervention duration was mostly 3 months. Most of the implementation scenarios were "hospital-home" or home. Traditional Chinese medicine exercises had a positive effect on the clinical symptoms, psychological state and quality of life of patients with heart failure, and were safe and feasible.Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine exercises have a positive effect on the exercise rehabilitation of patients with heart failure, and are safe and feasible.

Objective To study the predictive values of the general movements (GMs) assessment in writhing stage for motor development outcomes in infants with severe neonatal jaundice.Method From December of 2012 to December of 2017,infants with severe neonatal jaundice (serum bilirubin reaching the corresponding level of exchange transfusion according to the reference nomogram) in our hospital were enrolled in the study.Inclusion criteria included corrected gestational age of 37 to 48 weeks,serum bilirubin level below phototherapy intervention value after treatment and general and detailed assessment were carried out in writhing stage when the infant was stable.The patients were regularly followed-up until one-year-old to evaluate the predictive values.Result A total of 241 patients with severe neonatal jaundice were enrolled in the study,including 153 males (63.5％) and 88 females (36.5％),with gestational age between 35 and 42 weeks.The mean gestational age was (37.9± 1.8) weeks,the average birth weight was (3 057±480) g,and the mean serum bilirubin value was (458.9± 119.1) μmol/L.The general evaluation of the GMs was normal in 15 cases (6.2％),and abnormal in 226 cases (93.8％) with 217 cases (90.0％) were poor repertoire (PR) and 9 cases (3.7％) were cramped-synchronized (CS).The predictive values of abnormal GMs for abnormal motor development outcomes were as following:sensitivity 100％,specificity 7.6％,negative predictive value(NPV) 100％.The predictive values of CS for cerebral palsy were as following:sensitivity 22.2％,specificity 97.8％,NPV 94.0％.Detailed evaluation of 241 subjects showed that 13 items had statistically significant differences in the prediction of cerebral palsy (P＜0.05),and 18 items in the prediction of abnormal motor development (P＜0.05).Conclusion The CS pattern and detailed assessment of GMs in the writhing stage may be correlated with the outcomes of motor development in infants with severe neonatal jaundice until one-year-old.

Objective To analysis the clinical outcome at discharge and its risk factors of extremely preterm infants.Method To retrospectively analysis the clinical outcome at discharge and it's risk factors of extremely preterm infants (less than 28 weeks gestation) admitted from September 2008 to August 2014 in our Hospital.Result A total of 179 cases were enrolled.Survival rate was 59.2％ (106/179).Unfavorable outcome rate was 74.3％ (133/179),among them 73 cases died.The top five causes of death were severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (28 cases),Ⅲ ～ Ⅳ o intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (19 cases),sepsis (16 cases) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) (6 cases).Among the 60 survivals with unfavorable outcomes,35 cases had either severe neurologic or ophthalmological sequela,and 25 cases had severe pulmonary sequela.Univariate analysis showed that,comparing with improved group,unfavorable outcome group had higher rates of not receiving prenatal steroids,placental abruption,male,small for gestation age,resuscitation with chest compression,admission age older than 72 hour,severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS),without pulmonary surfactant (PS) usage,mechanical ventilation beyond 2 weeks and sepsis (P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that those without prenatal steroids (OR =9.402,P =0.002),small for gestational age (OR =8.271,P =0.018),resuscitation with chest compression (OR =6.325,P =0.023),admission age older than 72 hour (OR =4.174,P =0.028) were independent risk factors for unfavorable outcome of extremely premature at discharge.Conclusion Extremely preterm infants have a higher rate of unfavorable outcome at discharge.Avoid small for gestational age,transfer properly and in time both in utero and after birth,and conduct prenatal steroids could improve their clinical outcome at discharge.

Objective To study the effectiveness of family-integrated-care (FICare) for preterm infants with moderate to severe bronchopuhnonary dysplasia (BPD) in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Method Preterm infants with moderate to severe BPD in Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the objects.These infants were assigned into two groups (FICare group and control group) in the base of whether the parents agreed to implement FICare.If the infant was enrolled into FICare group,the parents need to spend 3 hours in ward every day,and participate in nursing services under the guidance of nurses.The nursing services included bathing,cuddling,skin care,breast-feeding,and so on.If the infant was enrolled into control group,these nursing services were implemented by nurses.Oxygen exposure time,breast-feeding rate,time of begin oral feeding,time of total oral feeding,weight growth rate during hospitalization,weight of discharge,length of stay,readmission rate within 30 days,the rate of parents that mastered basic care knowledge and skills when discharge from hospital,the rate of satisfaction,and the rate of follow-up within 30 days of the two groups were compared.Result There were 106 cases in our study,54 in the FICare group and 52 in the control group.Compare the FICare group and the control group,there were statistical differences between two groups in the follow aspects (all P ＜ 0.05):oxygen exposure time [(57.1 ±20.9) d vs.(71.4 ±32.6) d],breast-feeding rate (77.8％ vs.44.2％),time of total oral feeding [(46.1 4 19.6) d vs.(59.4 ± 30.2) d,length of stay [(65.8 ± 18.4) d vs.(84.3 ±35.0) d],the rate of parents that mastered basic care knowledge and skills when discharge from hospital (96.3％ vs.82.7％),the rate of satisfaction (94.4％ vs.84.6％),the rate of follow-up within 30 days (92.6％ vs.73.1％).Conclusion FICare could significantly reduce oxygen exposure time of preterm infants with moderate to severe BPD,could improve the level of parents mastered basic care knowledge and skills of preterm infants,especially in critically ill preterm children,and could shorten length of stay of them.FICare is beneficial to the healthy growth of premature infants with BPD.

Objective To study the expression of plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in children with acute phase Kawasaki disease (KD), and investigate its value for early prediction of coronary artery lesions in KD. Methods Totally 80 children with KD were collected. Children were divided into four groups by the results of echocardiogram of coronary artery in different periods: CAL1 group (children with coronary artery lesions (CAL+) both in acute and sub-acute phase, 8 cases), CAL2 group (children with CAL+in acute phase but recovery normal (CAL-) in sub-acute phase, 10 cases), NCAL1 group (children with CAL-in acute phase but occur CAL+ in sub-acute phase, 10 cases) and NCAL2 group (children with CAL- both in acute and sub-acute phase, 52 cases). The serum samples (before the use of intravenous immunoglobulin) were collected in acute phase. Twenty healthy controls and twenty fever controls were enrolled into the study, and their serum samples were collected. OxLDL was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). They were compared using ANOVA, pairwise comparison LSD-t test. And ROC curve analysis was used to determine the threshold. Results Compared with the control groups,plasma oxLDL levels were higher in children with KD, both CA+and CAL-[(15.0±3.3) mU/L, (12.3±3.5) mU/L vs (9.2±2.2) mU/L, (8.0±2.3) mU/L, F=20.435, P<0.05]. Plasma oxLDL levels were increased more significantly in children with CAL+ than children with CAL- in KD [(15.0 ±3.3) mU/L vs (12.3 ±3.5) mU/L, t=2.28, P=0.002]. There was significant difference in the concentration of oxLDL between the groups of Kawasaki disease (F=5.068, P=0.003). Plasma oxLDL levels were significantly higher in the NCAL1 group than those in the NCAL2 group [(14.5 ±3.8) mU/L vs (11.9±3.3) mU/L, t=2.29, P=0.02], but there were no statistically significant difference between the NCAL1 group and CAL1 or CAL2 group [(14.5±3.8) mU/L vs (15.9±3.9) mU/L, (14.5±3.8) mU/L vs (14.2±2.7) mU/L, t=0.73, 0.20;P=0.41, 0.84]. ROCs analysis indicated that oxLDL≥13.83 mU/L, could be the threshold for the prediction of coronary artery lesions with the sensitivity of 0.607 and a specificity of 0.75. Conclusion OxLDL plays an important role in coronary artery lesions in KD. The coronary endothelial dysfunction is earlier than coronary dilatation, and oxLDL is expected to become a reliable early predictor of coronary artery lesions in KD.

Purpose To explore the 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging features of adrenal lymphoma and to improve the diagnosis of this disease.Materials and Methods A total of 13 cases with pathology-proven adrenal lymphoma and PET/CT examinationfrom December 2012 to March 2016 were retrospectively reviewed,The contents including the extent,shape,size and density of the adrenal lymphoma as well as the SUVmax value and affected lymph gland were recorded.The region of interesting (ROI) was delineated with the SUVmax value being calculated,which was compared with pathological diagnosis.Results All 13 cases were non-Hodgkins lymphoma,12 of which were secondary lymphoma,with the other case being primary lymphoma.Nine cases were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL);2 cases were mantle cell lymphoma;2 cases were NK/T-cell lymphoma.In 10 cases there were bilateral adrenal involvement,and unilateral involvement in 3 casesincluding on 2 the left and 1 on the right.A total of 23 adrenal glands were involved,with soft masses in 13,soft nodules in 8 and adrenal thickening in 2.The lesions were well-defined in 10 cases.In 3 cases there were cystic changes or necrosis.No hemorrhage,calcification or fat was identified.Extra-adrenal involvement was discovered in 9 cases.Lymphadenopathy was seen in 10 cases involving the neck,mediastinum and retroperitoneum.Adrenal lesions showed intense FDG uptake on PET/CT with SUVmax ranging from 5.7 to 30.8 and mean SUVmax of 15.8±8.9.Conclusion Most of the adrenal lymphoma cases were diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.The features of PET/CT include bilateral involvement,well-defined soft tissue mass with intense FDG uptake.PET/CT can differentiate primary and secondary adrenal lymphoma and help with treatment planning.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the autologous epidermal grafting combining with NB-UVB radiation on the treatment of stable vitiligo.Methods Autologous epidermal graft acquired by suction blister under negative pressure were transplanted onto the laser-abraded depigmented areas,then the narrow-band UVB radiation was given after grafting to 35 patients with stable vitiligo.The onset time and the area repigmentation of every epidermal graft 3 months latter were observed (digital image contrasted before and after treatment).The results were compared with 37 cases only treated with autologous epidermal grafting.Results Both onset time and the cure rate in combined treatment group were statistically significant (P＜0.05) as compared with control group.Conclusions The combination of autologous epidermal grafting with NB-UVB radiation can shorten the onset time of repigmentation and promote generation and extension of the melanin.

Objective To study the effect of intraoperative intermittent pneumatic compression(IPC)on patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Two hundred infertile patients to undergo exploratory laparotomy were randomized equally into the observation group and the control group.The patients in both groups were managed with laparoscopic operation at lithotomy position under general anaesthesia.During the operation,the control group was treated with nil intervention,while the observation group with IPC.The two groups were compared in terms of blood coagulation indexes before operation,days 1 and 3 after operation,blood flow rate of femoral vein before operation,30 mins and day 1 after the operation,and deep vein thrombosis(DVT) three months after operation.Results Three months after operation,12 cases of DVT occurred in the control group,and only 2 cases in the observation group.The difference was significant between the groups(χ2=6.22,P<0.05).The prothrombintime time and activated par-tialthrom boplastin time in the observation group were both longer than those of the control group,but the human fibrinogen was less(all P<0.05).The blood flow rate of femoral vein in the observation group was higher than that of the control group 30 mins and day 1 after operation(P<0.05),though the rates of femoral vein in the observation group showed insignificant differences between all the time points(F=1.94,P>0.05).Conclusion IPC used during laparoscopic surgery may be safe and effective as a result of improving blood circulation of lower limbs and preventing venothrombosis in lower limbs.

Objective To investigate the change of leptin,nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin-6 (IL- 6) levels in serum of children with Kawasaki disease (KD) and the possible relationship between leptin,NO and IL-6 levels,explore the role of leptin,NO and IL-6 in the pathogenesis of KD.Methods Fourty-five children with KD were studied.Twelve of them had coronary artery lesions and 33 had non-coronary artery lesions;thirty healthy children and 18 children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis or Henoch-Scholeion purpuru were enrolled as control subjects.Serum was collected from each patients during acute stage of KD and remission.Leptin,NO and IL-6 contents were detected by radioimmuno-assay and spectrophotometry and enzyme-linked immunoserbent assay.Meanwhile,C-reactive protein (CRP) were examined.Results ① The concentrations of serum leptin,NO,IL-6 and CRP in children with KD were significantly higher in the acute stage of KD than those at clinical remission and those of the normal control group (q=26.24,25.23; 21.38,31.30;35.37,33.68;16.32,15.66;P＜0.01,respectively).No significant differences in serum leptin, IL-6 and CRP were found between the clinical remission group and the normal control group (q=1.02,1.04, 0.61,P＞0.05,respectively);The concentrations of serum NO were significantly higher at clinical remission group than those of the normal control group (q=11.31,P＜0.01).② There was no significant difference in the concentrations of serum leptin,IL-6 and CRP at the acute stage of KD than those in patients with and without coronary artery lesions (q=1.17,1.92,1.60,P＞0.05).The concentrations of serum NO were significantly higher at the acute stage of KD with coronary artery lesions than those of KD without coronary artery lesions (q=6.91,P＜0.01).③ The concentrations of serum leptin in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis or Henoch-Scholeion purpura were signifietantly higher than those of the normal control group (t=13.26,P＜ 0.01).No significant differences in serum leptin were found between children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis or Henoch-Seholeion purpura and children with KD (t=1.28,P＞0.05).④ Correlation was found between serum leptin values and levels of the following parameters (P＜0.01);NO (r=0.69),IL-6 (r=0.55),CRP (r=0.42).However,there were no associations between leptin and leukocytes (r=0.21,P＞0.05) or serum albumin level (r=-0.24,P＞0.05).Association was found between serum NO and IL-6 (r=0.45,P＜0.01)or CRP(r=0.49,P＜0.01).Conclusion These results suggest that leptin,NO and IL-6 may have a role in the immunoinflammatory process of KD,especially in the acute phase.Further in vivo and in vitro studies are needed to establish the roles of leptin,NO and IL-6 in the pathogenesis of KD.

BACKGROUNDTo study the diagnostic value of detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), cancer antigen 153 (CA153) and cancer antigen 199 (CA199) in pleural fluid samples for lung cancer.

METHODSImmunoprotein quantity of CEA, CA125, CA153 and CA199 was analyzed in pleural fluid and serum from patients with lung cancer (52 cases) and in pleural fluid from non cancerous patients (50 cases) by chemiluminescence.

RESULTSThe levels of CEA, CA125, CA153 and CA199 in pleural fluid of patients with lung cancer were significantly higher than those of non cancerous patients ( P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). In lung cancer patients, the levels of CEA, CA125, CA153 and CA199 in pleural fluid were obviously higher than those in serum ( P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). The sensitivity and the specificity of CEA+CA199 were 96.2% and 96.0%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSDetection of CEA, CA125, CA153 and CA199 in pleural fluid might be helpful for diagnosing lung cancer, and the optimal combination for assay is CEA+CA199.
