Total bilirubin independently predicts incident metabolic syndrome among community-dwelling women

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is related to the increased risk of major cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The link between high serum total bilirubin (TBL) is cross-sectionally related to MetS and its components. However, whether serum TBL predicts incidence of MetS and its components remains inconclusive.MethodsThe present study included 893 women aged 70 ± 9 years from a rural village. We examined the relationship between serum TBL and MetS based on the modified criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP-ATP) III report in a cross-sectional (N = 893) and cohort (N = 288) data.ResultsIn the cross-sectional study, serum TBL (β = 0.536, p < 0.001) as well as age, alcohol consumption, exercise habits, history of CVD, SUA, GGT, and ALT was significantly and dependently associated with number of MetS components, but in the cohort study serum TBL was not associated with number of MetS components. Compared with the 1st tertile of serum TBL (0.20–0.55 mg/dL), multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for the 2nd -3rd tertiles of serum TBL (0.54–2.00 mg/dL) was 0.70 (0.51–0.95) in the cross-sectional study and 0.41 (0.21–0.81) in the cohort study.ConclusionsOur data demonstrated an independently negative association between serum TBL and MetS in Japanese community-dwelling women.     

新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情下喉镜检查的防护策略

目的探讨新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID 19）疫情下耳鼻咽喉头颈外科喉镜室如何做好防护工作，在保证临床诊疗工作顺利完成的同时保护好医务人员及患者健康、避免院内交叉感染。方法本研究查阅相关资料并总结医院的疫情防控经验及应对策略，在患者合理分流、喉镜室工作环境的布置及工作人员的个人防护、喉镜检查前的准备工作、检查中的操作流程及注意事项及检查后的清洁消毒工作等方面做好疫情期间周详合理的工作安排。结果疫情期间，耳鼻咽喉头颈外科喉镜室每日临床工作顺利完成，所有医务人员及患者均未感染新型冠状病毒，也未出现其他院内交叉感染。结论耳鼻咽喉头颈外科喉镜室的防护策略合理有效，能够在完成临床诊疗工作的同时有效保护医患的健康。     

儿童舒缓治疗的意义和发展现状

儿童舒缓治疗是对患有危及生命疾病的儿童提供身体、心理和精神等全方面的照顾，同时给予家庭支持，旨在为儿童及其家庭提供最佳的生活质量。我国儿童人口基数庞大，不断增加的舒缓治疗服务需求与相关服务资源的发展不足是我国儿童舒缓治疗领域面临的两大现实问题。该文就儿童舒缓治疗的实施和发展现状等进行了综述，为国内开展儿童舒缓治疗相关工作及研究提供参考。     

多囊卵巢综合征妊娠患者与非多囊卵巢综合征孕妇妊娠结局比较

目的比较多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)妊娠患者与非PCOS孕妇的妊娠结局。方法选取200例PCOS妊娠患者作为研究组,并选取同期200例非PCOS孕妇作为对照组,比较两组孕妇的妊娠结局、新生儿情况及妊娠期并发症情况。结果研究组的先兆流产、早产、足月剖宫产发生率显著高于对照组(P <0.05);两组的先兆早产发生率比较无统计学差异(P>0.05)。两组的新生儿情况比较无统计学差异(P>0.05)。研究组的妊娠期高血压综合征、妊娠期糖尿病、羊水异常、胎儿窘迫发生率显著高于对照组(P <0.05)。结论与非PCOS孕妇相比,PCOS妊娠患者的早产风险增加,且妊娠期高血压综合征、妊娠期糖尿病、羊水异常、胎儿窘迫发生率显著升高。

经鼻间歇正压通气防治早产儿呼吸窘迫综合征的临床研究

目的探讨经鼻间歇正压通气(NIPPV)在防治早产儿呼吸窘迫综合征(RDS)中的应用价值。方法选择2017年6月至2018年12月梧州市人民医院RDS早产儿90例,其中男性48例,女性42例;胎龄(29.03±0.58)周;出生体质量(996.91±98.52)g;病程(3.48±0.56)h;临床分级Ⅰ级58例,Ⅱ级32例;Apgar评分(6.85±1.06)分。依据随机数字表分为NIPPV组和持续气道正压通气(NCPAP)组,每组45例。NIPPV组给予NIPPV治疗,NCPAP组给予NCPAP治疗,若两组治疗后不能维持患儿生命体征则使用肺表面活性物质(PS)或行有创机械通气。结果NIPPV组和NCPAP组治疗12、24 h后和治疗结束时动脉血氧分压(PaO2)、氧合指数(OI)明显高于治疗前。NIPPV组治疗12、24 h后PaO2、OI明显高于NCPAP组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。NIPPV组和NCPAP组治疗结束时PaO2、OI比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);NIPPV组PS使用率(22.22%vs 44.44%)、有创通气率(17.78%vs 40.00%)、氧疗时间[(71.42±7.62)h vs(85.62±9.24)h]、有创通气时间[(46.78±5.32)h vs(55.27±6.14)h]、住院时间[(30.42±3.65)d vs(35.62±3.89)d]、并发症率(31.11%vs 53.33%)明显低于NCPAP组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论NIPPV可有效改善RDS早产儿通气功能,有利于减少PS使用、有创通气及并发症,值得临床推广。
