Research progress on therapeutic role of recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin in atherosclerosis / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

Atherosclerosis is a multifocal, smoldering, immunoinflammatory disease caused by lipid accumulation. Acute cardio-cerebrovascular disease caused by AS is one of the most serious life threats in the world. Endothelial cell injury, vascular inflammatory stimulation, abnormal lipid metabolism and coagulation disorder are the main pathological mechanisms of AS. Thrombomodulin (TM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein mainly expressed on the surface of endothelium. It plays a key role in maintaining the dynamic equilibrium of the vascular system through its functions of anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation and cell protection. Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhsTM), a soluble form of human TM containing the extracellular domain of TM, might be effective in the treatment of AS. This review summarizes the structure and function of TM and the mechanism of rhsTM in the treatment of AS. Aiming to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of AS.

Correlation between health beliefs and family environment in stroke patients / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To understand the correlation between health beliefs and family environment of stroke patients. Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out on 115 stroke patients with the first onset of stroke by using the special health belief simple table (SF-HBMS) and the family environment scale (Chinese version FES-CV), and the correlation was analyzed. The scores of each subscale of the family environment were compared with the domestic norm. Results The total score of health belief (75.15 ± 10.20) was at the middle level. There were significant differences in age (F=8.41), education level (F=4.44), complications (F=4.05), family history (t=2.68) and first visit time (F=3.76) among different characteristics of health belief scores (P < 0.01 or 0.05). The score of intimacy (6.23 ± 1.27) in family environment, emotional expression score (5.30 ± 1.97), success score (5.88 ±1.62), cultural score (4.54 ± 2.20) and organizational score (5.60 ±1.67) were all lower than the domestic norm and spear. The score of shield score (3.16 ± 2.00) was higher than that of domestic norm (P<0.01 or 0.05), and the total score of health belief was positively correlated with family intimacy (r=0.190), emotional expression (r=0.204), culture (r=0.206) and tissue (r=0.227) (P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with the contradiction (r=-0.186, P<0.05); regression analysis, whether there were family history (β=0.338, P<0.01), first onset time (β=0.242, P<0.01), family intimacy (β=1.614, P<0.05), emotional expression (β=1.114, P<0.05) were the factors affecting the health belief level of first stroke patients. Conclusions The level of health belief is closely related to family environment. It is suggested that the clinical medical staff should pay attention to the negative emotion and family psychological intervention, provide psychological support for the patients and their families, promote the promotion of their health beliefs, and reduce the rate of recurrence and disability.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors in pregnancy with severe community-acquired pneumonia / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective To analyze clinical characteristics of severe community-acquired pneumonia during pregnancy and its outcomes, and to explore the relevant risk factors. Methods From September 2012 to September 2017,324 398 pregnancies admitted in 7 tertiary hospitals were included. Clinical data of 33 cases of pregnancies with severe community-acquired pneumonia(severe pneumonia group)and 214 cases of pregnancies with common community-acquired pneumonia (control group) were reviewed retrospectively, including the clinical information, manifestations, laboratory examinations and pregnancy outcomes. Relevant risk factors were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results (1) General data: pregnancies with severe community-acquired pneumonia accounted for 0.010%(33/324 398) of hospitalized pregnancies, the gestational age of two groups were(28±8)and(23±8)weeks, body mass index were(21.7±2.1)and(25.5±3.4)kg/m2, rate of low income were 54.5%(18/33)and 31.8%(68/214), respectively. The differences between two groups were all statistically significant(all P<0.05). No significant differences were found in age, pregnancy and parity times, rate of main pregnant complications such as diabetes and hypertension, educational level, asthma and onset seasons between two groups(all P>0.05). (2)Clinical data: the severe pneumonia group had significantly higher incidence of fever [100.0%(33/33)vs 75.2%(161/214)], shortness of breath(90.9% vs 16.8%)compared with the control group(all P<0.05).The median peripheral leukocytes counts were 12.3×109/L and 10.2×109/L, the hemoglobin level were(84±18) and(107±14)g/L,the albumin level were(26±4)and(37±3)g/L, the median serum urea nitrogen level were 3.7 and 2.4 mmol/L,the serum creatinine level were(72±25)and(45±11)μmol/L, respectively in two groups. The differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). No significantly statistical differences were found in coagulation indicator and cardiac function between two groups(all P>0.05).(3) Treatments: in severe pneumonia group, 12 patients(36.4%,12/33)needed invasive mechanical ventilation, 9 patients(27.3%,9/33)needed non-invasive mechanical ventilation, average time of mechanical ventilation was(7±4)days;8 patients(24.2%,8/33)with septic shock needed vasoactive drugs. However, there was no patient in control group needing mechanical ventilation and vasoactive drugs.(4)Pregnant outcomes: one patient(3.0%,1/33)died in the severe pneumonia group, while no death occurred in the control group. The hospital stay between two groups were(15.1±4.1)and(7.0±1.9)days, the rates of abortion and stillbirth between two groups were 42.4%(14/33)and 3.3%(7/214), the rates of premature were 10/19 and 6.3% (13/207), the rates of cesarean were 15/19 and 43.0%(89/207), the rates of low birth weight newborn were 17/19 and 14.0%(29/207), the rates of infected newborn were 15/19 and 10.1%(21/207), the birth weights were(2 165±681)and(3 102±400)g, respectively. The differences between two groups were all statistically significant(all P<0.05).(5)Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that anemia, low body mass index, hypoproteinemia were risk factors for severe pneumonia in pregnancy(all P<0.05). Conclusions Pregnancy with severe community-acquired pneumonia may be complicated by multiple organ dysfunctions, lead to adverse outcomes. Anemia, malnutrition are risk factors for pregnancy with severe pneumonia. Active and effective treatment may improve its prognosis.

Analysis on the connections between psychological intervention and preg-nancy outcome of pregnant women with advanced maternal age / 中国现代医生

Objective To explore the connections between psychological intervention and pregnancy outcome of preg nant women with advanced maternal age. Methods All 196 primipara with advanced maternal age who received antenatal examination and gave birth to children in our hospital were randomly allocated to observation group(n=98)and control group(n=98). The control group received routine nursing while the observation group received psychological interven-tion. Mental conditions, pregnancy outcome and related complications were compared and analyzed between the two groups of pregnant women before and after the intervention. Results Scores of SCL-90 and Athens insomnia scale in the observation group after the intervention were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01);all new-borns delivered by primipara with advanced ma ter nal age were alive; rate of natural childbirth in observation group(70.41%)was significantly higher than that in the control group (27.55%),and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (χ2=21.562,P<0.01). Rate of cesarean section in the control group (68.37%) was significantly higher than that in the observation group (27.55%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=15.208, P<0.01). Incidence of complications such as hypertension, premature birth, postpartum hemorrhage and full-term infants with low birth weight in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant(P<0.05). Conclusion Psychological intervention is capable of effectively improving the mental status of preg-nant women with advanced maternal age,and therefore ameliorates the pregnancy outcome.
