Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2009;8(11):818-819
Eighty-six patients with community-acquired pneumonia who suffered from cerebrovascular sequelae were admitted to hospital from 2005 to 2007.Patients were randomized into ticarcillin sodium/clavulanate potassium group and cefuroxime Sodium group.Sputum culture was performed for each case before and after treatment.Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 74%of infection,and the most common pathogens were klebsiella pneumoniae(26%)and Escherichia coli(14%).The response rates in two groups were 93%and 72%,respectively(χ2=6.54,P<0.05).Bacteria eradication rates in two groups were 90%and 62%,respectively(χ2=6.00,P<0.05).Ticarcillin sodium and clavulanate potassium is an effective antibiotic for community-acquired pneumonia in elderly patients with cerebrovascular sequelae.

Objective To explore the relationship among aggression of patients,doctor-patient trust and perceived social support,and to provide a new prospective of improving doctor-patient relationship.Methods Data of Chinese buss-perry aggression scale,wake forest physician trust scale and perceived social support were collected from a sample of 338 patients in Guangzhou and analyzed with structural equation modeling.Results ①Median (interquartile range) of aggression,doctor-patient trust and perceived social support were 54(18),32(8) and 62(15) respectively.②Total score of aggression(Z=-2.37,P=0.02) and the dimension score of physical-aggression(Z=-4.07,P<0.01) between different gender were statistically significant,and the scores of male were higher than female.③According to relevant result,aggression of patients was significantly negatively correlated with both doctor-patient trust (r=-0.13,P<0.05)and perceived social support(r=-0.14,P<0.01).Doctor-patient trust was significantly positively correlated with perceived social support(r=0.36,P<0.01) ④Perceived social support fully mediate the relationship between aggression of patients and doctor-patient trust(GFI =0.989,NFI =0.989,IFI =0.998,CFI =0.998,RMSEA =0.026,x2/df=1.229).Conclusion Perceived social support is a protective factor of aggression of patients.Improving the perceived social support of patients can promote the doctor-patient trust.

Objective:
To summarize the clinical features and gene variation characteristics of a child with Okur-Chung syndrome caused by CSNK2A1 gene variation.
Methods:
The medical records of one patient who was diagnosed with Okur-Chung syndrome in Department of Pediatrics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in July 2018 were analyzed. Using "CSNK2A1" gene as the keyword, relevant information about CSNK2A1 gene was searched at CNKI, Wangfang Data, OMIM, PubMed, ClinVar, Decipher (until August 2018). The characteristics of CSNK2A1 gene variation and the clinical phenotype of children with Okur-Chung syndrome were summarized.
Results:
The boy, 1 year and 8 months old, was sent to hospital at the age of 1 year and 6 months because of delayed growth for more than 1 year. He was susceptible to cough while eating or drinking. He was also suffering from constipation and poor sleep. Physical examination showed that his body weight was 10.2 kg, microcephalus, broad nasal bridge, micrognathia and hypotonia were observed. Whole exome-sequencing test identified a

Objective: To conduct a comprehensive and systematic review of the efficacy and safety of Wenxin Keli (WXKL) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) . Methods: Seven databases (PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web ofScience, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP and SinoMed) were searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inceptions to 1 October, 2018. Two review authors independently assessed the methodological quality andanalyzed data by Cochrane handbook and the Rev Man 5.3 software. Begg.s test was conducted to assess publication biasvia Stata 14 software. Results: Twenty-four RCTs with 2246 patients were included in this review. Compared with blankcontrol, placebo or western medicine alone, WXKL alone or combined with western medicine could effectively reducerapid ventricular rate (MD=-7.14, 95%CI:-8.42——5.87), the frequency and duration of AF. It could also shorten thesinus rhythm conversion time (MD=-3.04, 95%CI:-3.47——2.61), increase the sinus rhythm conversion rate (RR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.09~1.29) and decrease recurrence rate of AF (RR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.13-0.59) . Besides, WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine was beneficial for improving the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (MD=3.44, 95% CI: 0.87-6.01), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (MD=-2.47, 95% CI:-2.86——2.08), left atrialdiameter (LAd) (MD=-0.91, 95%CI:-1.58——0.25) and P wave dispersion (Pd) (MD=-4.04, 95%CI:-4.15——3.93) .WXKL combined with low-dose amiodarone was superior to conventional-dose amiodarone alone in improving themaximum P wave (Pmax) (MD=-8.25, 95% CI:-10.33——6.17), and WXKL combined with conventional-doseamiodarone is more effective (MD=-13.10, 95%CI:-13.65——12.55) . Compared with the control group, the treatmentgroup had fewer adverse reactions, and the Begg.s test did not find any publication bias. Conclusion: WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine exhibited better therapeutic effects in the treatment of AF, but these results still needhigh-quality evidence to verify.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is a major risk factor for development of gastric cancer. Some studies demonstrated a high fungal infection rate in gastric cancer tissues. There are many methods to diagnose Hp and fungal infections, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Aims: To investigate the value of immunofluorescence staining for diagnosis of Hp and fungal infections in gastric mucosal biopsy specimens. Methods: A total of 450 gastric cancer patients undergoing gastroscopy from September 2019 to September 2020 at the General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command, PLA, were enrolled in this study. Gastric mucosal biopsy specimens were collected and stained with immuno-fluorescence, HE, and methylene blue, respectively, for detection of Hp infection, and stained with immunofluorescence and PAS, respectively, for detection of fungal infection. The microscopic findings and detection rate of various staining methods were analyzed and compared. Results: When stained with immunofluorescence, Hp was indicated by orange fluorescence on a dark black background, which was easily to be identified as compared with HE staining and methylene blue staining. The detection rate of immunofluorescence was superior to HE staining and equal to methylene blue staining (49.6% vs. 30.9%, P<0.05; 49.6% vs. 48.4%, P>0.05). Fungi stained by immunofluorescence showed brilliant blue fluorescence, while those stained with PAS showed blurred red and were difficult to be distinguished from the red background. The detection rate of immunofluorescence staining was superior to PAS staining (31.6% vs. 20.2%, P<0.05). Conclusions: Immunofluorescence staining is a convenient, fast and effective method for detecting Hp and fungal infections in gastric mucosal biopsy specimens, and is helpful for diagnosis of gastric diseases.
