Objective: To determine the national norm of Chinese questionnaire of quality of life in Chinese patients with cardiovascular diseases (CQQC) according patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease(CAD), and congestive heart failure(CHF)and to analyze the influence factors. Methods: The quality of life was estimated by CQQC to evaluate 7937 persons normal and with cardiovascular diseases(contain with hypertension, CAD, and CHF ) in 28 hospitals of 19 cities across China. The data were compared in gender, age, exercise, psychologic condition, education, number of family member and medical cost. Results: 1、The mean scores(national norms)of normal persons were (95.74±23.21); 2、The scores of hypertension patients were (73.75±23.62), the scores of hypertension stage 3 group (69.06±21.78)were least compared with other stages(P<0.01); 3、The scores of CAD patients were(64.67±20.59), the scores of unstable angina group(55.37±18.62)were least compared with other types in CAD patients(P<0.01); 4、The scores of CHF patients were (40.36±17.24), it was least compared with those of hypertension and CAD patients (P<0.01); 5、Influence factor: (1)Sex, age: The mean scores were (71.41±27.8)for 7937 persons, the scores of male persons were significantly higher than those of female (P=0.000). In normal persons, along with age increased, the scores decreased (P<0.05) ; except ≥70 ages group, the scores of male persons were higher than those of female(P<0.05) ; (2)Exercise: The scores of patients participating exercise were significantly higher than those of no participating exercise [(72.64±21.87)vs.(66.91±23.13), P=0.000]; (3)Psychological condition: The scores of patients with healthy psychological condition were significantly higher than those of with psychologic disorder [(70.13±25.66)vs.(68.91±20.44), P=0.001]; (4)Other: patients with better education, more than 1 family members and medical insurance or public expense had more scores (P<0.05~0.001). Conclusions: The sample size is large and the datum is reliable for Chinese questionnaire of quality of life in Chinese patients with cardiovascular diseases. It can reflect influence of age, sex, exercise, psychologic condition, family, education background, medical condition and disease, its item is brief, clear, and operation is easy, so it may well be spread.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of the continuous blood purification (CBP) technology in pediatric intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A retrospective study was conducted. All CBP patients admitted to pediatric ICU of Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2015 to 2017 were enrolled. The disease diagnosis, CBP treatment mode, catheter placement, anticoagulation way, treatment time and adverse reactions were summarized and analyzed. Results ① A total of 203 children were included, male accounted for 59.1%; age 37 days to 14 years old, with an average of (4.52±3.60) years old; weight 3.3-68.0 kg, with an average of (21.38±13.77) kg.② There were a total of 660 CBP treatments, with an average of 3.25 times per person. The main treatment modes of CBP were plasma exchange (PE, 38.64%), and followed by continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF, 38.64%), hemoperfusion (HP, 16.51%) and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH, 6.21%).③ Central venous catheterization was mainly placed in the right internal jugular vein (90.64%), followed by the right femoral vein (5.42%) and the left femoral vein (3.94%).④ Heparin sodium was the main anticoagulant in pipeline filters (84.73%), followed by low molecular weight heparin calcium (11.33%), sodium citrate and non-anticoagulant (both 1.97%). Mixed anticoagulants were used 21 children. ⑤ Primary diseases included poisoning (26.11%), liver failure (25.62%), sepsis (12.32%), shock after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (11.82%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, 8.37%), central nervous system diseases (5.41%) and metabolic diseases (4.93%). The lowest efficacy of CBP was metabolic diseases, with mortality rate of 60.00%; followed by ARDS, shock after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, sepsis and liver failure, with mortality was 58.82%, 41.67%, 36.00% and 32.69%, respectively. The length of hospitalization stay of children with central nervous system diseases was (30.89±15.13) days.⑥ Adverse events of CBP treatment included uncontrollable restlessness (2.88%), hypotension (1.82%), allergic rash (1.21%), catheterization and pipeline coagulation (1.21%), filter coagulation (1.06%), decreased heart rate and oxygen saturation (0.76%); CBP was stopped in 8 children due to cardiac arrest during the treatment. Conclusion At present, the application of CBP technology in pediatric ICU is universal, and it is an important way to rescue critical illness.
