Objective:To analyze the application effect of progressive resistance training (PRT) in breast cancer patients.Methods:PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service platform, VIP and SinoMed databases were searched for randomized controlled trial (RCT) of PRT in breast cancer patients. The retrieval period was from the establishment of databases to November 30, 2020. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 and Stata 16.1.Results:A total of 22 RCT were included. Meta-analysis showed that PRT could improve muscle strength [grip strength ( MD=1.43, 95% CI 0.57-2.30, P=0.001) , supine lifting force ( MD=13.0, 95% CI 9.39-16.61, P<0.000 01) , leg lifting force ( MD=43.88, 95% CI 27.85-59.91, P<0.000 01) ], shoulder flexion ( MD=9.62, 95% CI 5.16-14.09, P<0.000 1) , lean body weight ( MD=1.03, 95% CI 0.71-1.35, P<0.000 01) , quality of life ( SMD=0.51, 95% CI 0.25-0.78, P=0.000 1) . PRT could reduce the number of symptoms of upper limb lymphedema in breast cancer patients ( SMD=-0.23, 95% CI -0.42--0.04, P=0.020) , severity of symptoms ( SMD=-0.26, 95% CI -0.44--0.07, P=0.006) , body fat percentage ( MD=-1.49, 95% CI -1.94--1.04, P<0.000 01) , fat content ( MD=-0.87, 95% CI -1.48--0.26, P=0.005) , but there were no statistically significant differences in shoulder joint abduction, extension, body weight and body mass index ( P>0.05) . Descriptive analysis showed that PRT could reduce the incidence of upper limb lymphedema to a certain extent. Conclusions:The existing evidence shows that compared with the control group, PRT can improve the muscle strength, shoulder anterior flexion, lean body weight content and quality of life of patients with breast cancer and reduce the number and severity of upper extremity lymphedema symptoms, body fat percentage and fat mass.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of abnormal heart rate circadian rhythm for all-cause mortality in stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD 5) patients.Methods:The retrospective study was performed in CKD 5 patients enrolled from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Province Hospital) and the Affiliated BenQ Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February, 2011 to December, 2019. A total of 159 healthy volunteers were enrolled as the healthy control group during the same period. The circadian rhythm of heart rate was monitored by 24-hour Holter. Related indices (including 24-hour, daytime and nighttime mean heart rate, night/day heart rate ratio, 24-hour maximum heart rate, 24-hour minimum heart rate and difference between maximum and minimum of 24-hour heart rate) were calculated. Non-dipping heart rate was defined as night/day heart rate ratio greater than 0.9. Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of all-cause mortality in CKD 5 patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test were used to compare the differences of cumulative mortality between high ratio group (night/day heart rate ratio>0.91) and low ratio group (night/day heart rate ratio≤0.91). The nonlinear relationship between night/day heart rate ratio and all-cause mortality was analyzed by restricted cubic spline plot. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of night/day heart rate ratio for all-cause mortality in CKD 5 patients.Results:A total of 159 healthy volunteers and 221 CKD 5 patients were included in this study. There were 123 males (55.66%) and the age was (52.72±13.13) years old in CKD 5 patients. The total median follow-up time was 50.0 months. Compared with controls, 24-hour, nighttime mean heart rate, 24-hour minimum heart rate in CKD 5 patients were increased (all P<0.05), furthermore, the night/day heart rate ratio was higher [(0.91±0.09) vs (0.81±0.08), P<0.001], showing "non-dipping heart rate". However, the 24-hour maximum heart rate and the difference between maximum and minimum of 24-hour heart rate in CKD 5 patients were lower than controls (both P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the increased night/day heart rate ratio (per 0.1 increase, HR=1.557, 95% CI 1.073-2.258, P=0.020) was an independent influencing factor for all-cause mortality in CKD 5 patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the cumulative mortality of the high ratio group was significantly increased than that of the low ratio group (Log-rank test χ 2=7.232, P=0.007). From the restricted cubic spline plot, there was a linear effect between night/day heart rate ratio and all-cause mortality ( P=0.141), and when night/day heart rate ratio was above 0.91, the risk of all-cause mortality was significantly increased in CKD 5 patients. According to time-dependent ROC curve, the accuracy of night/day heart rate ratio in predicting all-cause mortality was 70.90% even when the survival time was up to 70.0 months. Conclusions:The circadian rhythm of heart rate in CKD 5 patients displays "non-dipping" state. High night/day heart rate ratio is an independent influencing factor for all-cause mortality in CKD 5 patients.

Objective:To observe heart rate circadian rhythm in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 and to analyze the effects of parathyroidectomy (PTX) on heart rate circadian rhythm in severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) patients.Methods:A cross-sectional observation was performed in 213 patients with CKD stage 5 and 96 controls, and the patients were divided into those with severe SHPT (PTX group, n=70) and without severe SHPT (non-PTX group, n=143). Forty-six PTX patients were followed up prospectively. The baseline data were compared among these groups. Holter electrocardiogram was performed for each participant. Non-dipping heart rate was defined as night/day heart rate ratio greater than 0.9. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of heart rate circadian rhythm in patients with CKD stage 5. Results:The 24-hour, daytime and nighttime mean heart rate in patients with CKD stage 5 were all higher than those in controls, especially in PTX group (all P<0.05). The night/day heart rate ratios of controls and CKD stage 5 patients were (0.81±0.08) and (0.91±0.08) respectively ( P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed 24-hour and daytime or nighttime mean heart rate in patients with CKD stage 5 were positively correlated with serum levels of phosphorus and ln(alkaline phosphatase), while nighttime mean heart rate and night/day heart rate ratio were positively related with serum intact parathyroid hormone level. After adjusting with postoperative follow-up period (median time: 10.9 months), 24-hour and nighttime mean heart rate, and night/day heart rate ratio in PTX patients all decreased significantly (all P<0.01). Conclusions:Heart rate is increased and circadian rhythm is abnormal in patients with CKD stage 5, which are related with mineral and bone disorder. PTX significantly decreases 24-hour and nighttime mean heart rate in severe SHPT patients, and improves the heart rate circadian rhythm.

Objective To investigate the relationship between 24-hour urinary protein quantification and maternal and neonatal complications in severe preeclampsia. Methods Totally 2305 cases of pregnant women which were diagnosed as severe preeclampsia more than 28 weeks of single pregnancy in 37 hospitals in mainland China were selected from January 1 to December 31, 2011. According to the results of the highest 24 hours urine protein quantitative after admission, the subjects were divided into 3 groups. The group Ⅰ included 590 cases whose 24h urinary protein were 0-2g. There were 843 cases in group Ⅱ whose 24h urinary protein were 2-5g, 872 cases were in group Ⅲ whose 24h urinary protein were more than 5g. The complications of the maternal and neonatal outcome were analyzed among the three groups. Results The incidence of hypoalbuminemia was 14. 8%, the rate of chest /ascites /pulmonary edema / heart failure was 1. 6%, the incidence of renal dysfuction was 0. 6% and the incidence of placental abruption and HELLP syndrome was 2. 7% and 3. 0%. There was significant difference in the incidence of hypoalbuminemia among the three groups of which the incidence of groupⅠwas significantly lower than that of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ (P < 0. 017). The rate of fetal growth restriction, fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia was 3. 3%, 9. 5%, and 1. 1%. The incidence of neonatal body weight, fetal growth restriction and neonatal asphyxia among the three groups were significantly different (P < 0. 05). The body weight of neonatal group was significantly higher than that of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ (P < 0. 017). The incidence of FGR in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅲ (P < 0. 017). The rate of neonatal asphyxia in group Ⅰ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅲ (P < 0. 017). There are no significant difference in the incidence of heart failure /pulmonary edema, placental abruption, HELLP syndrome and cesarean section among the three groups. Conclusion 24-hour urinary protein may increase the risk of hypoalbuminemia in pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, but do not increase the risk of heart failure /pulmonary edema, placental abruption and HELLP syndrome. 24-hour urinary protein was associated with severe preeclampsia neonatal body weight, fetal growth restriction, and neonatal asphyxia.
