ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the improvement of the seven steps of exercise rehabilitation to improve the cardiac function of patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),making patients to take care of themselves as early as possible. Methods A total of 60 cases of patients with acute myocardial infarction after stent implantation were selected to be admitted to our hospital from January to December 2016,using the random number table method to divide into the rehabilitation group (30 cases) and the control group (30 cases). The control group received PCI routine nursing and the rehabilitation group received seven steps of rehabilitation training. The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)of the two groups was observed one day after operation.The LVEF and self-care ability of the two groups were observed nine days after operation. The evaluation of cardiac function adopted the heart color ultrasound, and the improved Barthel Index (MBI) was adopted in life self-care ability. Results The first day after surgery,the incidence rate of LVEF below 50% in the rehabilitation group and control group were 53.30%(16/30)and 50.00%(15/30)respectively.There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ2= 0.067, P > 0.05), the ninth day after surgery, the incidence rate of LVEF below 50% in the rehabilitation group and control group were 26.70%(6/30)and 46.70% (14/30), the two groups had statistically significant difference (χ2= 4.800, P < 0.05). The MBI scores of the recovery group and the control group were respectively 80.167 ± 4.111 and 64.200 ± 3.145 respectively.The two groups had statistically significant difference(t=16.896,P<0.01). Conclusions The rehabilitation training can significantly improve the cardiac function and self-management ability of patients after myocardial infarction,and can be used in clinic.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of elastic band resistance training on cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods 64 hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI from January 2016 to June 2016,were randomly divided into two groups:rehabilitation group (n=30) and control group (n =34).The control group received a routine treatment and guidance,rehabilitation group received elastic band training as add-on therapy to above routine treatment and guidance.After 6 months of therapy,cardiac function,the number of daily chest discomfort and its duration were compared between two groups.Results After six months of therapy,6MWT [(530.9 ± 39.9) m versus (328.3±26.8)m,(t=24.104,P＜0.01)]and LVEF ≥50％ [n(％)] (83.3％ versus 50％)(x2 =7.850,P＜ 0.01)were significantly higher in the rehabilitation group than in control group,with statistically significant difference (t =24.104,x2 =7.850,all P ＜ 0.01).In addition,an average number of daily chest discomfort (x2=11.563,P＜ 0.01) and its duration (x2=9.067,P＜ 0.05) were obviously improved in rehabilitation group than in control group,with statistically significant difference.Conclusions Anti-resistance training can significantly improve the cardiac function of patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI and can be applied in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of age factors on the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine during combined lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block in patients.Methods Twenty patients of both sexes,aged ≥ 18 yr,weighing 50-75 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiology physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective lower extremity surgery,were divided into 2 groups (n=10 each) according to age:young and middle-aged group (18-59 yr) and elderly group (≥ 60 yr).Combined lumbar plexus-sciatic never block was performed using an ultrasonic instrument and a nerve stimulator.Lumbar plexus block was performed with 0.5％ ropivacaine 30 ml.Sciatic never block was performed with 2％ lidocaine 10 ml plus 0.75％ ropivacaine 10 ml.Before administration and at 5,10,15,20,30,45,60,120,180 and 360 min after administration,blood samples were collected from the radial artery for determination of the blood concentration of ropivacaine by high-performance liquid chromatography.The area under the concentrationtime curve,maximum concentration (Cmax),time to C terminal elimination half-life and clearance were calculated.Results Compared with young and middle-aged group,the blood concentration of ropivacaine was significantly decreased at 5-45 min after administration,the Cmax was significantly decreased,terminal elimination half-life was significantly prolonged (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in area under the concentration-time curve,the time to C and clearance in elderly group (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Age factors can affect the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine during combined lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block,and both absorption and metabolism of ropivacaine are slower in elderly patients than in young and middle-aged patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the difference of attentional bias towards general negative words between non-mediated obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients and healthy controls.Methods Event-related potentials (ERPs) were collected from 26 non-mediated OCD patients and 24 normal controls while they performed an emotional Stroop task.Results Compared to healthy controls,OCD patients showed significantly longer reaction time (OCD:(467 ± 14.88) ms,Controls:(409.65 ± 15.49) ms,P＜ 0.01),and had significantly larger P2 and P3 amplitude to all three types of words (P2 amplitude:OCD:(10.41±0.49) μV,Controls:(8.89±0.48) μV,P＜0.05;P3 amplitude:(10.04±0.68) μV,Controls:(7.68±0.67) μV,P＜0.05).In addition,the P2 peak latency of the frontal area in OCD patients was significantly longer than that in healthy controls(OCD:(190.09±4.71) ms,Controls:(179.60±4.72) ms,P＜0.05).Conclusion Current findings suggest that OCD patients are characterized by a general attentional inhibition deficit but not an attentional bias to the negative words.
