ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the serum levels of CC chemokine receptor 2(CCR2)and C-reactive pro-tein(CRP)in stroke patients,and analyze their relationship with the severity of stroke associated pneumonia and their clinical significance.Methods A total of 78 patients with stroke associated pneumonia who were di-agnosed and treated in the hospital from October 2022 to February 2023 were collected as the study group,ac-cording to the severity of pneumonia,the study group was divided into mild group(31 cases),moderate group(29 cases),and severe group(18 cases),78 stroke patients who did not develop pneumonia were included into control group.Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum CCR2 and CRP levels in stroke associated pneumonia patients.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influ-encing the occurrence of stroke associated pneumonia.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was ap-plied to analyze the diagnostic value of serum CCR2 and CRP for stroke associated pneumonia.Results The National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,serum CCR2,and CRP levels in the study group were obviously higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of serum CCR2 and CRP increased with the aggravation of pneumonia(P<0.05).The levels of serum CCR2 and CRP in the study group were positively correlated(r=0.799,P<0.05).NIHSS score,CCR2,and CRP levels were risk factors for stroke associated pneumonia in stroke patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for the diagnosis of stroke associated pneumonia using serum CCR2 and CRP alone was 0.873 and 0.888,respectively,and the AUC for the combined detection of the two was 0.936,the combined detection of the two was superior to the individual detection of serum CCR2 and CRP(Zcombination-CCR2=1.987,Zcombination-CRP=1.832,P=0.041,0.047).Conclusion Serum CCR2 and CRP are closely related to the severity of stroke associated pneumonia,and their combined detection has high diagnostic value for stroke associated pneumonia.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the status of medication adherence among patients with depressive disorder and analyze its potential influencing factors.@*Methods@#A total of 406 patients with depression who visited our hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were selected as subjects of study. General data of patients were collected at the time of consultation, and drug adherence questionnaire was used to score the patients at 6 months of follow-up. According to the score, 406 patients were divided into high adherence group, middle adherence group and low adherence group, the correlation between medication adherence and humanistic factors, chronic diseases and course of disease was analyzed.@*Results@#Compared with the low adherence group, the proportion of age (>60 years old), education (<6 years), no spouse, peasant, monthly income (<3 000 yuan), self-funded medical treatment, insomnia history, solitude and negative life events decreased significantly in the middle and high adherence groups. Cadre ratio and the proportion of workers in the middle adherence group increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the low adherence group, the course of disease in the middle and high adherence group was significantly shorter (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that education < 6 years, no spouse, farmers, low income, self-paid medical treatment, solitude, negative life events, course of disease were independently correlated with low adherence of depression patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#Depression patients have low adherence with medication, so targeted health education should be carried out. Especially for patients with a long course of illness, continuous nursing and long-term follow-up should be done well.Mobilizing family support system , caring for and respecting patients can effectively reduce the occurrence of negative life events. It can improve the medication adherence of depressive patients and promote their early recovery.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the long- term result of pathological dislocation of the hip with absence of the femoral head treated with trochanteric arthroplasty in infancy. Methods Eighteen cases with absence of the femoral head and pathological dislocation of the hip treated with trochanteric arthroplasty were followed- up for 5- 16 years, with an average of 9.25 years. The timing of the surgery was average 18.2 months(ranged from 11 to 30 months). Based on Hunka pathological classification, one case was divided as typeⅠ lesion, 2 cases as typeⅡ lesion and 15 cases as typeⅤ lesion. Results There were 8 cases in the excellent group, the morphology and function of the reconstructed femoral heads were nearly normal and the limb shortening were in an average of 0.25 cm. There were 3 cases in good group, the femoral heads were nearly ball sized and the femoral necks were absent, however, the function was good and the limb shortening averaged 1.5 cm. There were 5 cases in fair group, the plastic femoral heads were abnormal and there were acetabular dysplasia and the limb shortening averaged 2.1 cm. There were 2 cases in poor group with redislocation. Conclusion The result demonstrate that surgical treatment of the absence of the femoral head in infancy could obtain a better reconstructed hip and fair function; the shortening of the limb can also be avoided.
