ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate association of peripheral blood brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) with Alzheimer's disease (AD) .Methods:Databases including Pubmed, Cochrane library, Web of science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, CBM disc, VIP-CSTJ and Wanfang Data were used to collect case-control studies related to the concentration of BDNF in peripheral blood of dementia patients with Alzheimer's type(DAT) and mild cognitive impairment(MCI). After extracting data and appraising the quality of the included studies, meta-analysis were conducted using Review Manager 5.3 and CMA 3.0.Results:A total of 51 articles were included in the analysis, with a total subjects of 7 182, including 2 673 subjects in DAT group, 1 506 subjects in MCI group, and 3 003 subjects in control group.The Meta-analysis showed that the levels of peripheral blood BDNF in patients with DAT were significantly lower than normal control group(SMD=-0.71, 95% CI : -0.99--0.43, P<0.001) ( n=5 111), and there were no statistical differences in peripheral blood BDNF levels between MCI group and control group and between DAT group and MCI group.The subgroup analysis showed that the level of serum BDNF in patients with DAT (SMD=-0.85, 95% CI: -1.15--0.55, P<0.001)( n=4 425) and MCI(SMD=-0.38, 95% CI: -0.62--0.14, P=0.002)( n=2 476) was significantly lower than that in normal control group, and the level of serum BDNF (SMD=-0.76, 95% CI: -1.37--0.16), P=0.01)( n=1 630) in patients with DAT was lower than that in MCI; However, there were no statistical difference among DAT, MCI and control groups in the level of plasma BDNF( P>0.05). Conclusion:The patients with DAT and mild cognitive impairment have lower level of serum BDNF, which suggesting that serum BDNF level may be a potential biomarker for early diagnosis of AD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the influence of E-Coaching self-management model on health behavior change in perimenopausal women.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 230 perimenopausal women who participated in health management prograam in the Health Management Center of Hangzhou Wuyunshan Hospital from January 2020 to October 2021 were selected as study objects by convenience sampling method. The subjects were divided into the experimental group and the control group with random number table (115 cases in each group). The experimental group was managed by health coaches with E-Coaching self-management model, and the control group was routinely managed by health managers. The intervention lasted for 6 months. Finally, 29 cases were lost to follow-up due to the failure of the subjects to comply with protocol requirements or voluntary withdrawal. So, a total of 201 subjects were included in the analysis (107 cases in the experimental group and 94 cases in the control group). χ2 test and t test were used to analyze the differences in modified Kupperman symptom score, perimenopausal knowledge and belief, regular exercise and dietary healthy behavior stage between the two groups. And the influence of E-Coaching self-management model on health behavior change in perimenopausal women was analyzed too. Results:After the intervention, the total score of modified Kupperman scale and the scores of insomnia, anxiety and fatigue in the experimental group were all lower than those in the control group [(7.36±2.91) vs (10.01±2.78) points, (0.49±1.13) vs (1.27±1.20) points, (0.80±0.99) vs (1.68±1.39) points, (0.67±0.55) vs (0.93±0.64) points]( t=6.553, 4.785, 5.219, 3.013, all P<0.05); and the total score of knowledge and belief questionnaire and the score of knowledge or belief dimension in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group [(25.15±1.55) vs (21.05±1.64) points, (9.61±0.56) vs (9.03±0.68) points, (15.54±1.53) vs (12.02±1.28) points] ( t=-18.238, -6.570, -17.801, all P<0.05). After the intervention, the proportions of the experimental group in the precontemplation and contemplation stage of exercise and diet were both significantly lower than those before intervention ( χ2=116.616, 139.964, both P<0.001), and were lower than those in the control group (the proportion of precontemplation stage of exercise was 7.5% vs 38.3%, and the contemplation stage of exercise was 26.2% vs 34.0%, χ2=38.330; the proportion of precontemplation stage of diet was 3.7% vs 23.4%, and the contemplation stage of diet was 18.7% vs 29.8%, χ2=25.399; all P<0.001). After the intervention, the proportion of the subjects in the preparation stage and action stage the experimental group were significantly higher than those before intervention ( χ2=116.616, 139.964, both P<0.001), and were higher than those in the control group (the proportion in preparation stage of exercise 18.7% vs 8.5%, and the action stage of exercise 47.7% vs 19.1%, χ2=38.330; the proportion in preparation stage of diet 20.6% vs 14.9%, and the action stage of diet 57.0% vs 31.9%, χ2=25.399; all P<0.001). Conclusion:E-Coaching self-management model can improve women′s perimenopausal symptoms in certain degrees, it improves their understanding of perimenopausal knowledge, enhances self-management beliefs and promotes healthy behavior changes.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the occurrence time and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with acute cerebral infarction, so as to guide clinical prevention and treatment.Methods:1 129 patients with acute cerebral infarction treated in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from May 2014 to May 2016 were selected as the research objects. According to whether DVT occurred, the patients were divided into DVT group ( n=22) and non DVT group ( n=1 107); The information was analyzed retrospectively and the occurrence time of DVT was counted. The independent risk factors of acute cerebral infarction complicated with DVT were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results:The time of DVT in patients with acute cerebral infarction was 10.5 (4-14) days. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, gender, atrial fibrillation, smoking, drinking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peripheral artery disease, renal failure, anticoagulants, BMI, white blood cell, blood glucose at admission and length of stay between the DVT group and the non DVT group ( P<0.05). Multiple factors further confirmed that renal failure [odds ratio ( OR)=57.421; 95% confidence interval ( CI), 5.792-569.314)] and length of hospital stay ( OR=1.148; 95% CI: 1.071-1.232) were independent risk factors for DVT. Conclusions:The median time of DVT in patients with acute cerebral infarction was 10.5 days. Renal failure and hospital stay were independent influencing factors of DVT in patients with acute cerebral infarction. This is helpful to determine the best prevention and treatment duration of DVT in patients with acute cerebral infarction, make rational use of medical resources and formulate personalized prevention and treatment strategies.

Results:The linear relationship of zolpidemtartrate was within the range of 0. 511 5-4. 092 0 μg· ml-1 . The relative recovery was greater than 90%. The intra-and inter-day RSDs were all less than 10%. Conclusion:The method is quite simple, quick and accurate with little interference, which is suitable for the clinical determination of zolpidemtartrate.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish the method for determining nimesulide in thermo-sensitive hydrogels and study the stability of the preparation. Methods:An HPLC method was adopted with a Shim-Pack C18-ODS (150 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm) column, the mobile phase was composed of menthol-water-acetic acid (65∶35∶0. 8) with the flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 at 30℃, the detection wavelength was at 299 nm, and the injection volume was 10 μl. Results:The separation of nimesulide, impurities and degradation products was good. The linear range of nimesulide was 2. 43-24. 37μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 8), the average recovery was 100. 02%(RSD=1. 12%, n=5). The lowest detectable limit and the lowest quantitation limit was 0. 098μg·ml-1 and 0. 25μg·ml-1, respectively. The stabil-ity results of hard-light exposure, destructive testing and long-term testing showed that the preparation was basically stable at room tem-perature, while under high temperature with hard light, strong basicity, acidicity or oxidation solution, the preparation was unstable. Conclusion:The method is accurate and reliable in the determination and stability study of nimesulide thermo-sensitive hydrogels. The hydrogels should be stored in shady, cool and dark place.
