Objective:To evaluate the relationship betweenparacardial adipose tissue (PAT) volume, body mass index (BMI) and severe coronary artery stenosis in young people by quantitative measurement of 256-slice spiral CT.
Methods: A total of 150 patients younger than 45 years and received coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital were divided into 2 groups:Lesion group, the patients with severe main coronary branch stenosis and Control group, patients with normal coronary artery. n=75 in each group. The height, body weight and BMI were recorded in all patients;imaging data was uploaded to the workstation to calculate the volumes ofepicardiumadipose tissue (EAT) volume,pericardial outsideadipose tissue volume and PAT volume, the correlation among 3 parameters were analyzed respectively.
Results:Compared with Control group, Lesion group had increased BMI (28.169±2.203) kg/m2 vs (24.960±3.041) kg/m2 and PAT volume (178.676±3.041) ml vs (99.0616±3.041) ml, all P<0.05. Compared with Control group,no matter male or female, Lesion group had larger PAT volume, P<0.01.EAT volume was related to pericardial outside adipose tissue volume (r=0.837, P<0.001) and PAT volume (r=0.971, P<0.001);pericardial outside adipose tissue volume was related to PAT volume (r=0.944, P<0.001).
Conclusion:PAT volume and BMI were obviously correlated to severe coronary artery stenosis in young people.

Objective To investigate the appropriate age of primary and secondary school students for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training.Methods A total of 437 students aged 9-15 years at 3 to 6 grade in the primary schools or 1 to 2 grade in the secondary schools were selected from 2 Yuyao primary and secondary schools by stratified random sampling between March 2017 and January 2018.The numbers of students with the age of 9,10,11,12,13,14 and 15 y were 61,62,66,64,63,63 and 58,respectively.All students received chest compression training provided by Yuyao emergency department People's Hospital according to the 2015 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guidelines.The training included 30 min theoretic teaching and 6 min practice in the simulator.The quality of chest compression performed by students was assessed;the depth,rate,position and retention of chest compression were recorded.Results The mean depth of chest compression in the students aged 9-15 years was 3.8,4.1,4.6,5.1,5.2,5.6 and 5.6 cm,respectively;the accuracy rate was 24.6%(14/61),25.8% (16/62),50.2% (33/66),70.5% (45/64),79.4%(50/63),88.9%(56/63) and 91.4(53/58),respectively.Compared with the students aged 9-11 years,the mean depth of chest compression was significantly increased and accuracy rate was significantly improved in the students aged 12-15 years (Compared with 9-y students,t=-8.936,-9.502,-10.640 and-11.370;x2=35.019,47.599,63.013 and 65.671;compared with 10-y students,t=-6.927,-8.179,-10.70 and-11.047;x2=24.977,35.967,50.916 and 52.727;compared with 1 1-y students,t=-3.095,-4.177,-6.785 and-6.995;x2=5.586,12.114,22.786 and 24.870;all P<0.05).The mean rate of chest compression was 110-116/min and its accuracy rate was 86.4%-95.2%;the accuracy rate of chest compression position was 90.9%-96.8% in all students,there were no significant differences among the 7 groups.The mean retention rate of chest compression in the 7 groups was 81.3%(122/150),67.3%(101/150),64.7% (94/150),48.0%(72/150),48.7%(73/150),33.3%(50/150) and 27.3%(41/150),respectively.Compared with the students aged 9-11 years,the mean retention rate of chest compression was significantly decreased in the students aged 12-15 years (compared with the 9-y students,x2=36.472,35.179,70.64 and 119.92;compared with 10-y students,x2=11.483,10.728,34.682 and 72.150;compared with 11-y students,x2=6.528,5.927,25.855 and 59.11;all P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the depth (r=0.96,0.89,0.91 and 0.86;P<0.01) and retention rate (r=-0.99,-0.90,-0.93 and-0.86;all P<0.01) of chest compression were significantly associated with the age,body weight,height and body mass index of students.Conclusion The students with an age of 12 years or more are able to effectively perform chest compression;thus,12 years and above might be the appropriate age for CPR training.

Objective:To integrate the best evidence of non-drug intervention of urinary incontinence in elderly women and to formulate practical recommendations.Methods:In this systematic review study, using “elderly woman”,“urinary incontinence”,“bladder training”,“pelvic floor muscle training”,“enuresis”,“leakage of urine” as the key words, the 6S evidence resource pyramid model was used to search in British Medical Journal best practice, Uptodate, World Health Organization, Guidelines International Network, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Chinese Medical Association, Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, Cochrane Library, The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), New Zealand Guidelines Group, Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, etc. The evidence retrieved included evidence-based knowledge base resources, clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus, systematic review, etc. Data were retrieved from January 1, 2017 to May 1, 2022, and collated from May 2, 2022 to May 25, 2022. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of literature and extracted data using the AGREE Ⅱ and JBI evidence-based health care center assessment tools. The JBI evidence-based health care center′s evidence pre-rating system and evidence recommendation rating system were applied to rank the evidence; and under the guidance of the evidence structure of JBI, the strength of evidence recommendation was determined and the best evidence was extracted and summarized in combination with the study group discussion and expert opinion.Results:A total of 9 articles were retrieved, including 7 guidelines and 2 systematic reviews; and 6 guidelines were classified as Grade A and 1 as grade B; both 2 systematic reviews were rated as Grade A; 84% (27/32) of the items were evaluated as “Yes”. Evidence were summarized as 34 pieces of best evidence from 6 dimensions, including “overall recommendation, evaluation of type and degree of urinary incontinence, lifestyle change, behavioral therapy, prevention of precipitating factors, intervention in special population”; the flow chart of screening, evaluation, special symptoms, life style and behavior therapy was combed, and the practical suggestions were formed.Conclusions:The overall quality of the literature on non-drug intervention of urinary incontinence in elderly women is high, and the level of evidence is high. Early identification of urinary incontinence types and assessment of disease severity, lifestyle changes, avoidance of predisposing factors and behavioral therapy are the key to non-drug treatment of urinary incontinence in those patients.
