1.Sleep disorders after stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;(12):935-938
Sleep disorders is a common complication of stroke.It not only affects the somatic rehabilitation and mental health of patients,but also aggavates hypertension and diabetes,and even induces cerebral infarction and recurrence of cerebral hemorrhage.Using polysomnography to conduct nocturnal sleep monitoring for stroke patients with sleep disorders can objectively reflect the sleep quality of the patients.Continuous positive airway pressure treatment may effectively correct sleep disorders and promote functional recovery of the patients.

Objective To determine whether real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(RT-3D TEE) is an accurate non-invasive technique for defining the morphology of atrial septal defects(ASD). Methods In 20 patients with secundum ASD, mean age 42.2 years (7 male, 13 female) ,live three dimensional surgical views of ASD were acquired,qualitative morphology of ASD such as the shape, presence of fenestrations and the defect margins were noted during the cardiac cycle. The measurements obtained from 2-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(2D-TEE) and RT-3D TEE were compared to those obtained from stretched balloon diameter(SBD) or surgery. Measurements of the size and area change of ASD were validated during the cardiac cycle by RT-3D TEE,stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to test the correlation between the maximum change ratios of area and diameter of ASD and age, atrial septal length, ASD shunting velocity, the maximum diameter of ASD and right ventricular systolic pressure. Results ① The morphology of ASD was circle-like or elliptical in systole,irregular or elliptical in diastole. ②The area and diameter of ASD measured by RT-3D TEE was minimal in isovolumetric contraction phase, maximal in isovolumetric diastole phase. The correlation coefficient of maximum diameter measured by 3D with SBD was 0.962 , greater than that by 2D and SBD (0.820). ③The change ratio of area and maximum diameter of ASD acquired by RT-3D-TEE was 11.48%-71.12% and 2.80%-43.87% respectively,and the correlation coefficient of them was 0.921. Conclusions RT-3D TEE using live 3D-Zoom mode accurately displayed the varying morphology,dimensions and spatial relations of ASD. RT-3D TEE can offer visualization morphological changing of ASD in different periods of cardiac cycle,providing more information for percutanous catheter intervention and open heart surgery.
3.Coping style of postpartum patients with pelvic floor dysfunction and its influencing factor
Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2019;25(5):569-572
Objective? To investigate the coping style of postpartum patients with pelvic floor dysfunction and to analyze the effect of family support on coping style of postpartum women with pelvic floor dysfunction. Methods? From May to October 2017, we selected postpartum patients with pelvic floor dysfunction of department of gynaecology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were investigated with the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) and Perceived Social Support form Family(PSS-Fa) to understand the coping style and family support of patients. The correlation between them was explored. A total of 200 questionnaires were sent out and 186 valid of them were collected with 93.0% for the valid rate. Results? Among 186 postpartum patients with pelvic floor dysfunction, the score of positive coping was (1.56±0.73) lower than that of norm; the score of negative coping was (1.85±0.65) higher than that of norm; the differences were statistical (P<0.05); the score of family support was (3.01±0.68) having a positive correlation with positive coping (r=0.45,P< 0.01) and a negative correlation with negative coping (r=-0.25,P< 0.01). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that family support was the influencing factors of positive coping among postpartum women with pelvic floor dysfunction after controlling general information. Conclusions? Postpartum women with pelvic floor dysfunction have negative coping style. Family support is the main influencing factor of positive coping. We should increase the publicity of pelvic floor dysfunction, encourage patients to cope positively and to seek family support properly.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Methods The clinical data of 815 late preterm infants (449 males and 366 females) from 25 hospitals in Beijing were collected from October 2015 to April 2016, including 340 cases(41.7%) with hyperbilirubinemia (hyperbilirubinemia group), and 475 cases without hyperbilirubinemia (control group). The clinical data of two groups were compared, and the maternal factors influencing hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants were analyzed with logistic regression. Results There were no significant differences in gender ratio (M:F 1.39 vs. 1.12, t=1.811,P=0.172)and birth weight[(2502.6±439.6)g vs. (2470.2±402.9)g,χ2=2.330,P=0.127)]between two groups. The incidence rates of hyperbilirubinemia in infants of 34 wks, 35 wks and 36 wks of gestational age were 22.9%(87/174), 35%(119/300) and 42.1%(143/341) respectively (χ2=1.218,P=0.544). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the maternal age(OR=1.044,95% CI:1.010-1.080,P=0.011)was independent risk factor and multiple births(OR=1.365,95%CI:0.989-1.883,P=0.048), premature rupture of membranes(OR=2.350,95% CI:1.440-3.833,P=0.001), cesarean section(OR=1.540,95%CI:0.588-4.031,P=0.014)were risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Conclusions The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants is relatively high. Maternal age, multiple births, premature rupture of membranes and cesarean section are risk maternal factors related to hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants.
