维生素D与多囊卵巢患者胰岛素抵抗相关性及其机制研究

目的:探讨维生素D对多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)患者胰岛素抵抗(IR)的影响及其机制研究.方法:选取自2013年2月～2014年2月在该院就诊的48例PCOS患者作为PCOS组,另选30例健康育龄期妇女作为对照组,测量研究者身高、体质量参数,计算体质指数(BMI),采用全自动生化分析仪葡萄糖氧化酶检测空腹血糖浓度(FBG)、化学发光法检测血清空腹胰岛素(FI)及胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)水平、ELISA方法测定血清25-(OH)D3浓度,计算稳态胰岛素评价指数(HOMA-IR)用于评价胰岛素抵抗性,量化胰岛素敏感指数(QUICKI)用于评价胰岛素敏感度,并分析FI、HOMA-IR、QUICKI及IGF-1与血清25-(OH)D3浓度的相关性.结果:PCOS组BMI及FBG与对照组相比,差异无统计学差异(P＞0.05),而FI、HOMA-IR、QUICKI、25-(OH) D3及IGF-1与对照组比较,差异均有统计学差异(P＜0.05);并且PCOS组FI和HOMA-IR与血清25-(OH)D3浓度呈显著负相关,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05),QUICKI和IGF-1水平与血清25-(OH)D3浓度呈显著正相关,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论:PCOS患者IR可能与血清中维生素D缺乏有关,而IGF-1分泌减少又可能是导致PCOS患者维生素D缺乏的重要原因.

Electronic clinical records in primary care for estimating disease burden and management. An example of COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant health problem in developed countries. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of COPD in a single Spanish healthcare area. We also aimed to assess if there are any differences in prevalence and spirometry use among primary care services by utilizing already registered information. We designed a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of COPD and the performance of spirometries in each primary care service. A total of 8,444 patients were diagnosed with COPD, with a prevalence of 2.6% for individuals older than 39 years. The prevalence increased with age and was much higher in men. Significant heterogeneity was found in the prevalence of COPD and spirometry use among primary care services. COPD was underdiagnosed and there was wide variability in spirometry use in our area. Greater efforts are needed to diagnose COPD in order to improve its clinical outcomes and to refine registries so that they can be used as reliable sources of information     

Comparative study of the substantia nigra echogenicity and 123I-Ioflupane SPECT in patients with synucleinopathies with and without REM sleep behavior disorder

ObjectivesHyperechogenicity of the substantia nigra (SN) and abnormal dopamine transporter-single-photon emission computed tomography (DAT-SPECT) are biomarkers commonly used in the assessment of prodromal synucleinopathy. Our goals were as follows: (1) to compare echogenicity of SN in idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (iRBD), Parkinson's disease (PD) without RBD (PD-noRBD), PD with RBD (PD + RBD), and control subjects; and (2) to examine association between SN degeneration assessed by DAT-SPECT and SN echogenicity.Patients/methodsA total of 61 subjects with confirmed iRBD were examined using Movement Disorders Society-unified PD rating scale (MDS-UPDRS), TCS (transcranial sonography) and DAT-SPECT. The results were compared with 44 patients with PD (25% PD + RBD) and with 120 age-matched healthy subjects.Results and conclusionThe abnormal SN area was found in 75.5% PD, 23% iRBD and 7.3% controls. Median SN echogenicity area in PD (0.27 ± 0.22 cm²) was higher compared to iRBD (0.07 ± 0.07 cm²; p < 0.0001) and controls (0.05 ± 0.03 cm²; p < 0.0001). SN echogenicity in PD + RBD was not significantly different from PD-noRBD (0.30 vs. 0.22, p = 0.15).Abnormal DAT-SPECT was found in 16 iRBD (25.4%) and 44 PD subjects (100%). No correlation between the larger SN area and corresponding putaminal binding index was found in iRBD (r = −0.13, p = 0.29), nor in PD (r = −0.19, p = 0.22).The results of our study showed that: (1) SN echogenicity area in iRBD was higher compared to controls, but the hyperechogenicity was present only in a minority of iRBD patients; (2) SN echogenicity and DAT-SPECT binding index did not correlate in either group; and (3) SN echogenicity does not differ between PD with/without RBD.     

基于证候要素的中风辨证论治

中风病是临床的常见病、多发病。本病病因较多,病情变化迅速,证型繁杂,不同的文献中证候分类差异较大。证候分类的繁杂给临床工作者治疗中风病带来极大不便。本文对以证候要素(内风、内火、痰湿、瘀血、气虚、阴虚)为切入点论治中风病的理论进行探讨,并举例论证其临床疗效。     

竹叶石膏汤合清气化痰丸加减治疗急性加重期慢性阻塞性肺疾病分析

目的:分析竹叶石膏汤合清气化痰丸加减治疗急性加重期慢性阻塞性肺疾病(Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease,AECOPD)疗效。方法:以2017年1月-2019年1月收治的AECOPD患者80例,随机分为两组,各40例。对照组采用常规西药治疗,观察组在对照组基础上采用竹叶石膏汤合清气化痰丸加减治疗。比较两组治疗前后肺功能指标[第1秒用力呼气容积占预计值百分比(Forced Expiratory Volume,FEV1%)、第一秒用力呼气肺容积(Forced Expiratory Volume,FEV1)]、改良版英国医学研究委员会呼吸问卷(mMRC)、慢阻肺患者自我评估测试问卷(CAT)等评分变化以及疗效。结果:在FEV1%、FEV1等肺功能指标上,两组治疗前对比无统计学差异(P>0.05);而观察组治疗后均高于对照组,二者差异存在统计学意义(P<0.05)。在mMRC、CAT等评分上,两组治疗前差异对比无统计学意义(P>0.05);而观察组治疗后均低于对照组,二者差异存在统计学意义(P<0.05)。在治疗有效率上,对照组总体为82.5%(33/40),观察组总体为95.0%(38/40),二者差异对比存在统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:竹叶石膏汤合清气化痰丸加减治疗AECOPD的疗效确切,即可有效改善患者肺功能和临床症状,且利于其预后康复,因此值得应用推广。     

Impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on digital device-related ocular health

Purpose:Since the declaration of the lockdown due to COVID-19, the usage of digital devices has gone up across the globe, resulting in a challenge for the visual systems of all ages. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the lockdown on digital device usage, and consequently, the ocular surface health implications and circadian rhythm abnormalities related to digital eye strain.Methods:An open online survey was sent through various social media platforms and was open for a period of 2 weeks.Results:A total of 407 usable responses were obtained; the average age of respondents was 27.4 years. Typically, 93.6% of respondents reported an increase in their screen time since the lockdown was declared. The average increase in digital device usage was calculated at about 4.8 ± 2.8 h per day. The total usage per day was found to be 8.65 ± 3.74 hours. Sleep disturbances have been reported by 62.4% of people. Typically, 95.8% of respondents had experienced at least one symptom related to digital device usage, and 56.5% said that the frequency and intensity of these symptoms increased since the lockdown was declared.Conclusion:The study highlighted the drastic increase in use of digital devices after the initiation of the COVID-19 lockdown, and along with it, the slow deterioration of ocular health across all age groups. Awareness about prevention of digital eye strain should be stressed, and going forward, measures to bring these adverse effects to a minimum should be explored.
