ABSTRACT

Recent clinical trials have shown that electrical stimulation has beneficial effects in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of electrical stimulation therapy for OSAS with a meta-analysis. The meta-analysis of all relative studies was performed through searching international literature, including PUBMED, CNKI, and EMBASE databases. This literature analysis compared all patients undergoing electrical stimulation therapy with respect to the respiratory disturbance index (RDI) and changes in sleep structure. Six studies were selected involving a total of 91 patients. The meta-analysis indicated that electrical stimulation therapy reduced RDI, longest apnea time, and improved the minimum SaO2. Based on the evidence found, electrical stimulation may be a potential therapy for OSAS, warranting further clinical trials.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the correlation between early lymphocyte count (lymphocyte count on day 30, LC30) post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and transplant prognosis in leukemia patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The data from 124 consecutive patients undergoing allo-HSCT for leukemia from January 2003 to April 2011 was analyzed retrospectively. LC30 post-allo-HSCT correlated with 5-year overall survival (OS), 5-year relapse rate (RR), 5-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM), accumulative rate of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) and chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) was studied.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Univariate analysis indicated that patients with LC30 ≥ 0.40×10(9)/L had higher 5-year OS than those with LC30 < 0.40×10(9)/L \[(62.2 ± 5.8)% vs (37.0 ± 8.6)%, P = 0.003\], lower 5-year RR\[(13.9 ± 4.7)% vs (32.0 ± 8.4)%, P = 0.027\], lower 5-year NRM \[(31.3 ± 5.8)% vs (45.0 ± 9.3)%, P = 0.048)\], and higher cGVHD cumulative incidence \[(82.9 ± 4.6)% vs (62.7 ± 11.1)%, P = 0.042)\]. Multivariate analysis also suggested that LC30 was associated with 5-year OS, 5-year RR, 5-year NRM, and cGVHD cumulative incidence. At the same time disease risk stratification was associated with prognosis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Early lymphocyte count (LC30) post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in leukemia is highly associated with prognosis, which can be the independent prognosis index after allo-HSCT in leukemia and can identify a group of patients who might be suitable candidates for early interventions treatment.</p>

ABSTRACT

@#ObjectiveTo study the relationship between the activity of daily living (ADL) and the physiopsychic variables of the patients at early recovery stage after first stroke. Methods ADL and the motion activities, the deficient degree of nerve function, the cognitive function and the depressive degree of the 48 patients at early recovery stage after first stroke were evaluated. ResultsThere are significant relationship between ADL at early recovery stag and the motion activities, the deficient degree of nerve function, the cognitive function of the patients at acute period(P<0.01). Meanwhile, there are also relationship between ADL and the number of the cerebral lesion, the hemiplegic degree and the education degree of the patients (P<0.05) at early recovery stage.Conclusions The motion activities, the deficient degree of nerve function and the cognitive function of the stroke patients at acute stage are the important predictive factors to ADL of the patients at early recovery stage, and the number of the cerebral lesion, the hemiplegic degree and the educational level of the patients maybe influence ADL of the patients at the early recovery stage.
