Chinese Journal of Pharmacoepidemiology 2001;10(1):8,9-
To evaluate the efficacy of interferon inhalation by PARI inhaler boy with bronchiolitis, 110 children were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 included 64 cases who received interferon inhalation by PARI inhaler boy(made in Germany) and the other 46 patients who didn' t received interferon by PARI inhaler boy served as group 2. The effects were compared between the two groups in term of wheezing rale disappearance time, rale absorbing time and hospital stay time. Our results showed that wheezing rale disappearance time in group 1 was shorter than that in group 2( t = 6. 143, P< 0.01 ); rale absorbing time in group 1 was significantly shorter than that in group 2 ( t = 2.03, P<0.05); hospital stay time in group 1 was significantly shorter than that in group 2( t = 3. 195, P<0.0). It is concluded that interferon inhalation by PARI inhaler boy is an effective auxiliary treatment forbronchiolitis.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and 30-day clinical outcomes in patients with spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage and whether adding NLR to ICH score improve the accuracy of predicting poor outcomes.Methods:Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from March 2018 to April 2019 were enrolled retrospectively. The demographic and baseline clinical and imaging data were documented. The absolute neutrophil counts and absolute lymphocyte counts within 24 h of onset were obtained and NLR was calculated. At 30 d after the onset of cerebral hemorrhage, the modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the outcomes. Good outcome was defined as ≤2, and poor outcome was defined as >2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor outcomes. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of baseline NLR, ICH score and NLR+ ICH score for poor outcomes in patients with spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage. Results:A total of 159 patients with spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage were enrolled, including 106 males (66.67%), age 62.29±15.10 years. Neutrophil count was (7.30±3.95)×10 9/L, lymphocyte count was (1.41±0.67)×10 9/L, and NLR was 6.94±7.66. Baseline hematoma volume was 17.93±25.87 ml, median ICH score 0 (interquartile range 0-1). The outcomes of 60 patients (37.7%) were poor at 30 d. Univariate analysis showed that coronary heart disease, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fasting blood glucose, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, NLR, hematoma broken into the ventricle, hematoma volume, NIHSS and ICH scores in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those of the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR was an independent predictor of poor outcomes at 30 d after the onset of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage (odds ratio 1.135, 95% confidence interval 1.092-2.321; P=0.038). The ROC curve analysis showed that the best cut-off value of NLR was 6.679, and the sensitivity and specificity of predicting poor outcomes were 51.67% and 76.77% respectively; the best cut-off value of ICH score was 1.0, and the sensitivity and specificity of predicting poor outcomes were 69.71% and 89.80% respectively; the sensitivity and specificity of the combined application of NLR + ICH score to predict poor outcomes were 74.58% and 82.65% respectively. Conclusions:NLR was independently associated with poor outcomes at 30 d after the onset of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage. Adding it to the ICH score could improve the accuracy of predicting poor outcome.

Objective:To investigate the marital adjustment status of breast cancer patients after surgery and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, postoperative breast cancer patients who were treated in 3 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Shanghai from June 2017 to December 2018 were selected as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) , Breast Cancer Self-Efficacy Scale (BCSES) , Body Image Scale (BIS) , Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) were used for investigation. Univariate analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of marital adjustment. In this study, a total of 300 questionnaires were issued and 240 valid questionnaires were returned. The effective recovery rate was 80.0%.Results:The total score of RDAS for postoperative breast cancer patients was (48.88±10.38) . The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that marital adjustment of postoperative breast cancer patients was positively correlated with self-efficacy, body image, and medical and social support ( r=0.357, 0.382, 0.507; P<0.01) , and it was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression ( r=-0.362, -0.373; P<0.01) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that awareness of tumor staging, actual support, self-acceptance and body image were the influencing factors of marital adjustment in patients after breast cancer surgery ( P<0.05) , explaining 32.9% of the total variation. Conclusions:The marital adjustment ability of patients after breast cancer surgery is at a moderate level. The awareness of tumor staging, actual support, self-acceptance and body image are factors that affect the patients' marital adjustment. It is necessary to actively formulate targeted intervention measures to enhance the psychological adjustment ability of patients in order to improve the ability of marriage adjustment.
