4.Factors Influencing Activities-specific Balance Confidence in Community-dwelling Old Adults
Journal of Korean Academy of Community Health Nursing 2018;29(4):520-529
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing activities-specific balance confidence in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS: This is secondary analysis of data from an intervention study for improving cognitive function. The data were collected from March 2 to September 30, 2017 at a senior center. Data of 131 older adults were included for this secondary analysis, and were analyzed by using t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression. RESULTS: The mean score of activities-specific balance confidence is 65.08 out of a possible range of 0–100. The significant factors affecting activities-specific balance confidence among old adults include ‘more than 85 years old’, ‘waist circumference’, ‘depressive symptoms’, ‘activity restriction due to fear of falling’, and ‘self-rated health’ which explained 52.8% of the variance. CONCLUSION: The study results indicate that psychologic factors as well as physical condition should be considered for interventions to increase activities-specific balance confidence.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has been widely used as a substi-tute of bone marrow transplantation for the treatment of various solid tumors or hematologic malig-nancies. The success of PBSCT is correlated with peripheral blood CD34+ cell count per kilogram of the recipient body weight. Standardization of flow cytometric CD34+ cell enumeration was improved by the modified International Society of Hematotherapy and Gene Engineering (ISHAGE) protocol. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the peripheral parameters (WBCs, mononuclear cells, the CD 34+ cells) that may predict the total CD34+ cell count in the harvest product, using the Stem-Kit (Beck-man Coulter Inc., Fullerton, CA, USA). METHODS: The study tested 88 PBSC harvests and peripheral blood (PB) on the day before collection from 26 patients. The CD34+ cells were analyzed using the Stem-Kit. The WBC and MNC count were measured by Coulter STKS (Beckman Coulter Inc.). The correlation and regression analysis between peripheral parameters (WBCs, MNCs, CD34+ cells) and the total CD34+ cell count in the harvest product were performed. RESULTS: The CD34+ cell count per weight (kg) of 88 PBSC harvests was 1.59 +/- 2.61 (0.01 -17.35). The mean number of WBC, MNC, and CD34+ cell in PB prior to harvest were 10.57 +/- 8.36 (1.50 - 32.50) X 10(3)/micro L, 1.85 +/- 1.28 (0.39- 7.43) X 10(3)/micro L, and 17.21 +/- 33.19 (0.12-239.19)/micro L, respectively. With the CD34+ cells numbering under 3/micro L in peripheral blood (PB), we could not harvest more than 0.5 X 10(6) /kg PBSC. With the cells numbering 3-6/micro L (59%) and 10- 20/micro L (89%), however, we could harvest more than 0.5 X 10(6) /kg and 1.0 X 10(6) /kg, respectively. More than 2.0 X 10(6)/kg of PBSC was collected with 10-20/micro L (31%). The peripheral blood CD34+ cell count prior to harvest significantly correlated with the total CD34+ cell count in the harvest product (r=0.97, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Peripheral blood CD34+ cell enumeration using the Stem-Kit was an efficient predictor of when to harvest peripheral blood stem cells after mobilization therapy. We could not collected the CD34+ cell in harvest product of more than 0.5 X 10(6)/kg if the peripheral blood CD34+ cell count was less than 3/micro L.

PURPOSE: Although high morning blood pressure (BP) is known to be associated with the onset of cardiovascular events in adults, data on its effects in children with hypertension are limited. Our retrospective study aimed to define the clinical characteristics of children with morning hypertension (MH) and to determine its associated factors. METHODS: We reviewed 31 consecutive patients with hypertension, confirmed by the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). We divided these patients into 2 groups: the MH group (n=21, 67.7%), morning BP above the 95th percentile for age and height (2 hours on average after waking up) and the normal morning BP group (n=10, 32.3%). We compared the clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and echocardiographic findings including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) between the groups. RESULTS: The early/atrial (E/A) mitral flow velocity ratio in the MH group was significantly lower than that in the normal morning BP group. In addition, LV mass was higher in the MH group than in the normal morning BP group, although the difference was not statistically significant. The age at the time of hypertension diagnosis was significantly higher in the MH group than in the normal morning BP group (P=0.003). The incidence of hyperuricemia was significantly higher in the MH group than in the normal morning BP group. CONCLUSION: Older patients and those with hyperuricemia are at higher risk for MH. The rise in BP in the morning is an important factor influencing the development of abnormal relaxation, as assessed by echocardiography. Clinical trials with longer follow-up periods and larger sample sizes are needed to clarify the clinical significance of MH.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine effects of a multifactorial program for preventing the frailty of older adults and effects of a follow-up program applying a capacity building strategy. METHODS: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was used for the nonequivalent control group. The follow-up group (n=75) and non-follow-up group (n=68) received the same multifactorial program comprising muscle strength exercise, cognitive training, and psychosocial programs for 12 weeks. After completion of multifactorial program, the follow-up group took follow-up programs applying the capacity building strategy for following 12 weeks. The data of physical function, cognitive function, and psychological function, and self-rated health were collected from both groups three times: before intervention, after intervention, and 12 weeks after intervention. The data were analyzed using χ2 test and t-test. RESULTS: In comparison with the non-follow-up group, the scores of Timed Up & Go Test, and physical activities energy expenditure were significantly improved in the follow-up group. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that a multifactorial program with follow-up adapting the strategies of capacity building for the older adults group is feasible to prevent the physical frailty in community.
