Objective To evaluate the impacts of self-management on quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in community. Method A total of 130 patients with COPD from selected 3 neighbourhood residential committees in Longhua community were randomized into intervention group (65 cases) and control group (65 cases). The control group was treated with conventional health education, the intervention group was treated with self-management education program. Both groups were evaluated by the Chinese version of the chronic disease self-management study measures and SF-36 profile before and after the 6 months intervention. Result After 6 months, the scores of the chronic disease self-management study in the control group were holistic health (3.52 ± 0.64), symptom (18.86 ± 3.06), shortness of breath (3.92 ± 1.74), somatic function (8.15 ± 0.51) and impact on life (22.21 ± 7.14), while the scores in the intervention group were holistic health (2.43±0.43), symptom (15.68±3.66), shortness of breath (2.06 ± 1.30), somatic function (5.73 ± 1.08) and impact on life (16.43 ± 5.17) , and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the dimensions and total score of quality of life of the intervention group were (52.41±7.90 vs. 71.63±8.11, P<0.01). Conclusion The effective self-management could improve symptoms, the ability of self-management and their quality of life.

Objective To study the clinical value of bedside ultrasound in predicting the fluid responsiveness in pa?tients with septic shock in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods Forty-two mechanically ventilated patients with septic shock who admitted to ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from January 2015 to April 2015 were included in this study. All patients were treated with volume expansion (VE) text. Hemodynamics in?dexes were obtained by ultrasound before and after each test, including stroke volume (SV), aortic peak blood flow velocity variation rate of breathing (△VpeakAO), inferior vena cava expansion index (△IVC) and brachial artery maximum speed vari?ation rate (△VpeakBA). Clinical data and central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded. Based on the responsiveness of SV, patients were divided into responsive group (R) and non-responsive group (NR), respectively. The differences of the above in?dexes were compared between two groups. The correlation of△IVC,△VpeakAO,△VpeakBA and△SV was determined. The role of the hemodynamic index for predicting volume responsiveness was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic ROC curves. Results A total of 47 VE tests were performed in 42 patients, 25 in R group and 22 in NR group. Before VE test, the hemodynamics indicators of△IVC,△VpeakAO and△VpeakBA were significantly higher in R group compared with those of NR group (P<0.05). The values of△IVC,△VpeakAO and△VpeakBA were positively correlated with△SV in two groups. The areas under the ROC curve of the hemodynamics indicators were 0.825, 0.853 and 0.866 for △IVC, △VpeakAO and△VpeakBA, and they all showed high sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion The hemodynamic index measured by bedside ultrasound can predict the volume responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with septic shock fluid therapy, and which can be used to fluid therapy with a high degree of specific and sensitivity in clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the ultrasound evaluation on lfuid responsiveness in patients with septic shock. Methods: There 42 septic shock patients treated by mechanical ventilation in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2015-04 were studied. All patients received volume expansion (VE) text, ultrasound examination was conducted to measure hemodynamic parameters of inferior vena cava variation rate of breathing (ΔIVC), aortic peak blood lfow velocity variation rate of breathing (ΔVpeakAO), brachial artery maximum speed variation rate (ΔVpeakBA) and stroke volume (ΔSV) at before and after text. Based on the response to VE text, the patients were divided into 2 groups as Responsive group and Non-responsive group, the above indexes and their correlations to ΔSV were analyzed. The clinical values of those parameters for predicting volume responsiveness were evaluated by ROC curves. Results: A total of 47 VE tests were conducted in 42 patients including 25 cases in Responsive group and 22 cases in Non-responsive group. Before VE test, the parameters of ΔIVC, ΔVpeakAO and ΔVpeakBA were higher in Responsive group than Non-responsive group; ΔIVC, ΔVpeakAO and ΔVpeakBA were obviously related to ΔSV (r=0.631, 0.668 and 0.619). The area of ΔIVC, ΔVpeakAO and ΔVpeakBA under ROC curves were 0.817, 0.853 and 0.866 respectively, they were all with the high sensitivity and speciifcity. Conclusion: Ultrasound monitored hemodynamic parameters may predict the volume responsiveness in septic shock patients with mechanical ventilation, it could be used for guiding liquid treatment in relevant patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between the serum levels of fibrinogen (FIB), C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) with the carotid vulnerable plaque in patients with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke.Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to the Department of Neurology in The Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from Mar. 2014 to Feb. 2015 were collected continuously, and 273 patients with anterior circulation of LAA stroke were selected based on the TOAST classification. These patients were classified as non-plaque group (n=84), stable plaque group (n=42) and vulnerable plaque group (n=147) according to the carotid ultrasonography examination. Another 182 patients without carotid disease of non-stroke selected simultaneously from our department were regarded as controls. The 19 demographic parameters and hematological indices were compared among the four groups. The logistic regression was used to screen the independent risk factors for carotid vulnerable plaque in LAA stroke patients. The Spearman rank correlation was performed to analyze the correlation between the carotid plaque vulnerability in LAA stroke patients with all the indicators.Results The levels of FIB, CRP and Hcy in the four groups showed statistically signicantcant differences (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that FIB (OR=1.408, 95% CI 1.028-1.927,P=0.033) was the independent risk factor for carotid vulnerable plaque in patients with LAA stroke. The Spearman correlation analysis presented a positive correlation between carotid plaque vulnerability in LAA stroke patients with FIB (r=0.292;P=0.000) and Hcy (r=0.172;P=0.000). Conclusions The serum FIB and Hcy levels may be the meaningful biomarkers to predict the vulnerable carotid plaque in patients with LAA stroke. The serum level of CRP has no obvious correlation with carotid plaque vulnerability in LAA stroke patients.
