Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(52):10357-10360
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the changes of flbrinogen before and after cardio-vascular stent implantation.METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in CNKI and Medline database between 1994 and 2009.A total of 26 articles were included in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria.This study was designed to summarize changes of fibrinogen,effect of cardio-vascular stent implantation on fibrinogen,and effect of anticoagulant on fibrinogen.RESULTS:Abnormal changes of fibrinogen were detected in patients with cardiovascular disease.Cardio-vascular stent implantation might stimulate vascular endothelial cells so as to destroy balance between blood coagulation and dissolving system,change content of fibrinogen,and induce complications.Additionally,anticoagulant might also influence generation of flbrinogen and cause varying therapeutic effects.CONCLUSION:The effect of anticoagulant on fibrinogen content before and after cardio-vascular stent implantation needs to be further studied.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical manifestation of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) due to anti-M and Rhesus system.MethodsClinical information was collected and analyzed for three cases with HDN due to anti-M and 64 with Rhesus hemolytic disease, who were admitted to Department of Neonatology, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from February 2011 to January 2015, as well as another 28 cases of HDN due to anti-M with complete information retrieved from literature in Wanfang and China National Knowledge lnfrastructure (CNKI) Database from 1992 to 2014.Chi-square test was performed for statistical analysis.ResultsTwo out of the 64 Rh hemolytic babies gave up therapy due to kernicterus and another two out of the 31 MN hemolytic babies, obtained from literature, died 24 h after birth because of anemia or edema, while the rest survived. Although more babies were the first child of the family in HDN due to anti-M than those of Rh hemolytic disease [26%(8/31) vs 9%(6/64),χ2=4.487, P=0.034], but lower incidence of jaundice [81%(25/31) vs 98%(63/64),χ2=9.686,P=0.002], less proportion of presentation of jaundice within 24 h after birth [29% (9/31) vs 64%(41/64),χ2=10.279,P=0.001] and lower positive rate of direct antiglobulin test [39%(12/31) vs 100%(64/64), Fisher exact test,P=0.000] were shown in HDN due to anti-M. No significant difference was found in the incidences of hyperbilirubinemia [58%(18/31) vs 66%(42/64),χ2=0.513], severe hyperbilirubinemia [23%(7/31) vs 36%(23/64),χ2=1.724], anemia [81%(25/31) vs 89%(57/64),χ2=1.253] and severe anemia [29%(9/31) vs 34%(22/64),χ2=0.271] between HDN due to anti-M and Rh hemolytic babies (allP>0.05).ConclusionsHDN due to anti-M and Rhesus hemolytic disease can cause severe pathological jaundice and/or anemia in newborns. Indirect antiglobulin test should be offered when direct antiglobulin test is negative which is helpful in the diagnosis of HDN due to anti-M.

Objective:To explore the Application value of hospital-community-family integrated service in nursing management of children with bronchial asthma.Methods:From December 2018 to February 2019 in Haikou Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya Medical College of Central South University, 90 children with asthma were selected and divided into control group (45 cases) and observation group (45 cases) according to random digital table method. The patients in the control group received routine hospitalization diagnosis and health education, while the patients in the observation group received integrated management services of family type medical care. Six months after the intervention, the clinical efficacy, the number of acute attacks, psychological state, quality of life, length of stay and cost of the two groups were compared.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group (95.56%, 43/45) was significantly higher than that of the control group (82.22%, 37/45), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.050, P<0.05). The times of acute attack, the times of readmission, the time of hospitalization and the expenses of the children in the observation group were (7.36±2.19) times, (4.22±1.78) times, (13.89±4.32) d, (3 023.83±219.76) yuan respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (12.03±3.98) times, (7.03±2.43) times, (21.73±5.32) d, (5 032.33±324.23) yuan, and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 6.258-34.381, P<0.01). The scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale (31.23±4.84) and Self-rating Depression Scale (37.62±2.61) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (36.11±2.72, (43.27 ± 2.94), the difference was statistically significant( t values were 5.896, 9.641, P < 0.01). The scores of symptom (6.50±1.63), emotion and activity(6.33±1.02), quality of life (6.54±0.98) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (5.77±1.55, 5.45±0.98, 5.78±0.67), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were - 2.177, - 4.173, - 4.295, P < 0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:The application of hospital-community-family integrated care service in the nursing management of children with bronchial diseases can effectively improve the clinical therapeutic effect, reduce the number of acute episodes and hospitalization time, improve the psychological status and quality of life of children, which is worthy of wide clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate and analyze the prevalence of pressure ulcer and other skin injuries, and the implementation of pressure ulcer prevention measures among inpatients in Class ⅢGrade A hospitals in Hainan province. To provide basis for fomulating bundle of care model to prevent and intervent pressure ulcer, and establishing early warning management model on nosocomial pressure ulcer in ClassⅢGrade A hospitals in Hainan province. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted on inpatients from 7 ClassⅢGrade A hospitals in Hainan province. A investigation was performed by a self-designed inpatients'questionnaire and qualified tools on pressure ulcer and other skin injuries. Statistical analysis of data using by SPSS19.0 software. Results The content validity index of the self-designed inpatients'questionnaire and qualified tools on pressure ulcer and other skin injuries was 0.91, Cronbach α coefficient was 0.93. The prevalence of pressure sores was 2.28% (165/7 248), of which 66.06% (109/ 165) was family involvement, 30.30% (50/165) was hospital acquired, 3.03% (5/165) was community involvement,and 0.61% (1/165) was both from family and hospital acquired. Medical instrument related pressure ulcer accounted for 18.18%(30/165) of the total number of pressure ulcer. The most common site of pressure ulcer was the sacrococcygeal region, accounting for 47.94% (93/194). The proportion of pressure ulcer in stageⅡwas the highest (35.57% , 69/194). 52.01% (647/1 244) of patients at risk of pressure ulcer did not use the anti-pressure devices,and 81.40% (1 013/1 244) of patients' main compression sites were not covered by dressings.35.50%(442/1 244) of patients did not according to plans or regularly turn over, only 56.19% (699/1 244) patients turned over every 2 hours. 61.57% (442/1 244) patients who have pressure ulcer did not have anti-pressure ulcer signs. Among other skin injuries: the prevalence of incontinence related dermatitis was 0.88%(64/7 248), and the prevalence of avulsion skin injury was 0.37%(27/7 248). Conclusions The incidence of acquired pressure ulcer in ClassⅢGrade A hospitals in our province is slightly higher than other domestic investigation results. The reasons may be that anti-pressure devices in hospital configuration are not enough, lack of the tailored bundle of prevention measures of pressure ulcer, and failure to establish an effective early warning management model on pressure ulcer etc. So prevention and treatment of pressure ulcer should have a further standard management. Instrument related pressure ulcer and incontinence related dermatitis should also attract the attention of clinical nurses and managers.

Objective:
To summarize the clinical features of 7 rare cases of hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN), and to improve the understanding of rare HDN.
Methods:
Data of clinical information, laboratory findings, treatments and outcomes were collected and analyzed for four cases with HDN due to anti-M, two cases due to anti-Kidd, and one case due to anti-Duffy. All of them were admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medial University from July 2007 to June 2017.
Results:
Among the four MN hemolytic babies, two were males and two were females. Jaundice was found in three cases. Two cases had hyperbilirubinemia, one of them had severe hyperbilirubinemia. All the four cases developed anemia, including severe anemia in three cases. Two cases of Kidd hemolytic disease and 1 case of Duffy hemolytic disease had jaundice and anemia, but did not reach the level of severe hyperbilirubinemia and severe anemia. MN hemolytic disease babies got negative results in direct antiglobulin test, whereas the Kidd and Duffy hemolytic disease babies had positive findings in direct antiglobulin test. None of the babies had blood transfusion, and they were discharged from the hospital.
Conclusions
Without maternal and fetal blood group incompatibility (ABO or Rh blood-group system), for early onset of jaundice, severe jaundice or anemia, antiglobulin test to mother and child earlier should be administered, and MN, Kidd, Duffy and other rare hemolytic disease of the newborn should be pay attention to.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) at stage I in treatment of acute multi-segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in the elderly with over 3 vertebrae operated.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 105 aged patients with acute multi-segment OVCF admitted to Honghui Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 2015 to February 2019. There were 27 males and 78 females, aged 65-92 years [(73.0±14.5)years]. All patients received stage I multi-segmental PVP and standard anti-osteoporosis treatment. There were more than 3 operative vertebral segments in 30 patients (observation group) and less than or equal to 3 operative vertebral segments in 75 patients (control group). The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, cement injection volume, cement leakage rate and incidence of recurrent vertebral fractures were compared between the two groups. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and activity of daily living (ADL) score were compared before operation, 1 day, 1 month after operation and at the last follow-up.Results:All patients were followed up for 11-13 months [(12.5±1.8)months]. The observation group showed operation time of (71.2±12.2)minutes, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency of (38.8±6.4)times and cement injection volume of (20.2±4.6)ml, more than those in control group [(52.3±10.6)minutes, (25.4±5.3)times, (12.3±4.3)ml] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in cement leakage rate and incidence of recurrent vertebral fractures between the two groups ( P>0.05). No complications such as infection, nerve damage or cement implantation syndrome occurred. Before operation, 1 day after operation, 1 month after operation and at the last follow-up, the VAS in observation group [(7.6±0.7)points, (3.0±0.8)points, (2.3±0.7)points, (2.2±0.6)points] showed no significant difference from those in control group [(7.4±0.5)points, (2.9±0.4)points, (2.1±0.5)points, (2.0±0.5)points], the ODI in observation group [(74.6±3.3)%, (36.8±4.6)%, (29.7±4.0)%, (24.0±3.6)%] did not differ from those in control group [(73.8±1.0)%, (35.1±0.9)%, (28.4±2.2)%, (22.8±0.9)%], the ADL score in observation group [(34.5±5.0)points, (54.5±3.8)points, (73.7±3.9)points] were similar with those in control group [(36.2±3.4)points, (56.8±4.7)points, (75.3±5.3)points, (81.3±4.5)points] (all P>0.05). The postoperative VAS, ODI and ADL score in both groups were significantly improved in comparison with preoperation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For acute multi-segment OVCF in the elderly with over 3 or not more than 3 the vertebrae operated, PVP at stage I has the same advantages in early pain relief and improvement of motor function and quality of life.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and non-surgical treatment of patients with type I fracture according to the acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture (ASOTLF) classification.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was used to analyze the clinical data of 115 patients with ASOTLF admitted to Honghui Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2015 to December 2018. There were 48 males and 67 females, aged 65-92 years [(75.3±8.5)years]. According to clinical symptoms and imaging characteristics, all patients were identified with type I fracture according to the ASOTLF classification. Injury segments were at T 6 to T 10 in 10 patients, at T 11 in 15, at T 12 in 26, at L 1 in 34, ay L 2 in 18, at L 3 in 7, and at L 4 in 5. A total of 73 patients received PVP combined with anti-osteoporosis treatment (surgery group), and 42 patients received non-surgery combined anti-osteoporosis treatment (non-surgery group). Before treatment, at 1 day, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after treatment, and at the last follow-up, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain, the Roland Morris Disability (RMD) score to assess the spinal function, and the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO) score to evaluate the quality of life. The bone mineral density was compared between groups before treatment and at 1 year after treatment. The complications were observed as well. Results:All patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(13.2±4.6)months]. At 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment, the VAS in surgery group [(3.9±0.6)points, (3.3±0.6)points, (2.9±0.3)points] was significantly lower than that in non-surgery group [(6.0±0.7)points, (5.0±0.8)points, (4.2±1.0)points, respectively] (all P<0.05); the RMD score in surgery group [(15.2±0.7)points, (12.6±0.7)points, (10.6±0.7)points] was significantly lower than that in non-surgery group [(16.4±0.8)points, (14.6±0.8)points, (12.7±0.6)points, respectively] (all P<0.05). At 1 day and 1 month after treatment, the QUALEFFO score in surgery group [(46.0±1.1)points, (41.4±0.8)points] was lower than that in non-surgery group [(50.3±0.8)points, (44.7±1.2)points] (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at other time points of the above indicators ( P>0.05). At 1 year after treatment, the bone mineral density in surgery group was (-3.0±0.9)SD, and was (-2.8±1.1)SD in non-surgery group ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between surgery group [37%(27/73)] and non-surgery group [33%(14/42)] ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients with ASOTLF type I fracture, PVP and non-surgical treatment has similar effects in anti-osteoporosis and occurrence of complications, but the PVP is superior to non-surgical treatment in early pain relief, spinal function improvement and quality of life.
