Objective:To explore the correlations between quality of life and mental resilience and coping style of primary caregivers of patients with Parkinson's disease.Methods:The primary caregivers of 90 patients with Parkinson's disease from 3 hospitals in Zhejiang Province from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected as research objects. The Quality of Life Scale, the Mental Resilience Scale and the Coping Style Scale were used to investigate and analyze the correlation between the quality of life of the primary caregivers and mental resilience and coping style.Results:The total scores of quality of life, mental resilience, positive coping style and negative coping style of 90 primary caregivers were respectively (158.17±4.94) , (55.67±6.45) , (23.64±3.47) and (7.88±2.73) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the quality of life of the primary caregivers was positively correlated with the optimistic dimension, tenacity dimension and self-strength dimension in the mental resilience scale ( P<0.05) , positively correlated with positive coping styles ( P<0.05) , and negatively correlated with negative coping styles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The primary caregivers of patients with Parkinson's disease have a low quality of life and poor mental resilience. Their quality of life is closely related to mental resilience and coping styles. Clinical medical staff can develop corresponding measures to improve the level of mental resilience of caregivers and encourage caregivers to adopt positive coping styles so as to improve their quality of life.

Objective:To explore the prognostic influencing factors of adult lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) based on multicenter data.Methods:The clinical data of 86 LAHS patients diagnosed in 9 medical centers of Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from January 2015 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal cut-off value of continuous variables was obtained based on MaxStat algorithm. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and log-rank test was performed.Results:Among the 86 adult LAHS patients, 50 (58.1%) were males and 36 (41.9%) were females, the median age of the patients was 57 years old (19-76 years old), and the median overall survival (OS) time was 1.67 months (95% CI 0.09- 3.24 months). The most common pathologic type was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (58 cases, 67.44%). Based on MaxStat algorithm, the optimal cut-off values of age, albumin, serum creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, fibrinogen and platelet count were 64 years old, 30.1 g/L, 67 μmol/L, 1 045 U/L, 4.58 g/L and 72×10 9/L, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patient's age, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin and fibrinogen levels were independent influencing factors for OS (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:LAHS is dangerous and progresses quickly. Patients with age ≥ 64 years old, lactate dehydrogenase ≥ 1 045 U/L, fibrinogen ≥ 4.58 g/L and albumin < 30.1 g/L have poor survival.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of lymphocyte subsets in adult hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS).Methods:A total of 172 adult HPS patients diagnosed in 8 medical centers from January 2013 to August 2020 were selected for the study, of whom 87 were male (50.6%, 87/172), and 85 were female (49.4%, 85/172), with 68 survivors and 104 deaths. The clinical data were summarized, and variables such as lymphocyte subsets, immunoglobulin characteristics and fibrinogen were retrospectively analyzed, and the correlation between the mentioned variables and patient prognosis was analyzed. The optimal cut-off values of continuous variables were calculated by MaxStat, and the prognostic factors of HPS patients were screened based on the Cox proportional hazard regression model.Results:The median age of HPS patients was 56 (42, 66) years old, and the 5-year cumulative survival rate was 37.4% (37.4/100). The median age, platelet and albumin were 48 (27, 63) years, 84×10 9/L and 32.3 g/L in the survival group, and 59 years, 45.5×10 9/L, and 27.3 g/L in the death group, respectively. The differences between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z=?3.368, P=0.001; Z=?3.156, P=0.002; Z=?3.431, P=0.001). Patients with differentiated cluster 8+(CD8+)<11.1%, CD3+<64.9%, CD4+>51%, and CD4/CD8 ratio>2.18 had poor prognosis (χ 2=7.498, P=0.023; χ 2=4.169, P=0.041; χ 2=4.316, P=0.038; χ 2=9.372, P=0.002). Multivariable analysis showed that CD4/CD8 ratio, age, fibrinogen and hemoglobin were independent prognostic factors in HPS patients ( HR=2.435, P=0.027; HR=5.790, P<0.001; HR=0.432, P=0.018; HR=0.427, P=0.018). Conclusion:Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets can be used to evaluate the prognosis of patients with HPS; CD4/CD8 ratio, age, fibrinogen, and hemoglobin are independent prognostic factors in HPS patients.

Objective:Factors influencing the prognosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in adults were analyzed based on multicentric data.Methods:Clinical data of 124 adult patients with HLH diagnosed in eight medical centers in the Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from March 2014 to July 2020 were collected. The optimal truncation value of continuous variables was obtained based on the Maxstat algorithm, X-Tile software, and restricted cubic spline. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to construct the adult HLH risk prediction model, and the visualization of the model was realized through the histogram. The bootstrap resampling method was used to verify the model, C-index and calibration curve was used to verify the histogram, and the prediction accuracy was checked. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the survival rate and draw the survival curve. Furthermore, the differences between groups were tested by log-rank.Results:The median age of the 124 patients was 55 (18-84) years, including 61 (49.19%) males. The most common etiology was infection. Serum ferritin increased in 110 cases (88.71%) , hepatosplenomegaly in 57 cases (45.97%) . Of the 124 patients, 77 (62.10%) died, and the median survival time of the patients was 7.07 months. Univariate results showed that the prognosis of adult HLH was influenced by sex, age, fibrinogen, serum creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and albumin ( P<0.05) . The results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, platelet, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, and treatment regimens were independent influencing factors for prognosis. Based on the above five risk factors, the prediction model of the histogram was established, and the C-index of the model was 0.739. Finally, the calibration chart showed good consistency between the observed and predicted values of HLH. Conclusion:The prognosis of the adult hemophagocytic syndrome is influenced by many factors. Gender, platelet, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, and treatment regimens are independent risk factors. Therefore, the established histogram provides a visual tool for clinicians to evaluate the prognosis of adult HLH.
