Acute penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the ascending aorta

A 67‐year‐old man presented with chest pain. Clinical examination revealed hypertension (160/90 mm Hg). Electrocardiogram indicated no acute coronary syndrome and cardiac enzymes were normal. Catheterization was performed owing to the patient’s continuing chest pain and ascending aortogram revealed irregular aortic wall. A computed tomography image showed the shape of penetrating ulcer. The patient was taken to the operating room and intraoperative examination confirmed the diagnosis of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU). Coronary artery bypass graft and bovine pericardial patch repair of PAU was performed. A bovine pericardial patch was done as aortic root was heavily calcified and was easy to handle and more hemostatic.

疏风解毒胶囊联合西医疗法治疗痰热壅肺型慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期临床观察

目的观察疏风解毒胶囊联合西医疗法治疗痰热壅肺型慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期(acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,AECOPD)疗效。方法选择2016年11月-2017年11月笔者所在医院收治的痰热壅肺型AECOPD患者66例,按照随机数字表法将患者分为治疗组和对照组各33例。2组均用规范化治疗,治疗组加用疏风解毒胶囊治疗,2.08 g/次,3次/d。2组均治疗7~14 d。观察2组疗效、治疗前后主要临床症状积分、实验室相关指标等。结果与对照组相比,治疗组主要临床症状、体征改善更明显(P<0.05),WBC、CRP、PCT、PaCO2下降得更快(P<0.05),PaO2、肺功能改善更明显(P<0.05);总有效率治疗组87.90%,高于对照组的69.69%(P<0.05)。结论疏风解毒胶囊治疗痰热壅肺型AECOPD临床疗效显著,能显著改善临床症状及体征,改善血气指标、肺功能和降低血清炎症因子水平。     

急性心肌梗死后左心室游离壁破裂患者临床特点分析

目的探讨急性心肌梗死(acute myocardial infarction,AMI)后发生左心室游离壁破裂(free wall rupture,FWR)患者的临床特点及危险因素。方法入选2010年12月至2018年12月南京医科大学附属南京医院明确诊断为AMI的患者4221例,其中发生FWR的患者81例(FWR组),按照1:5匹配原则,随机选取未发生心脏破裂(且未发生室间隔穿孔)的患者405例作为非FWR组,比较两组患者临床基线资料及预后。结果(1)AMI患者中出现FWR的风险为1.9%。(2)与非FWR组相比,FWR组患者年龄偏大,前壁心肌梗死较多,心功能更差,接受手术治疗(包括经皮支架植入和冠状动脉旁路移植术)的患者比例偏低,且所有患者均出现院内死亡。(3)91.4%的患者FWR发生在AMI起病1周之内,其中24 h内发生FWR 37例(45.7%)。(4)COX回归分析发现,年龄(HR=1.055,95%CI:1.032~1.078,P<0.001)、急性前壁心肌梗死(HR=1.907,95%CI:1.211~3.002,P=0.005)和手术治疗(HR=0.126,95%CI:0.072~0.220,P<0.001)是AMI患者出现FWR的独立预测因子。结论AMI患者发生FWR的风险约为1.9%,而且通常发生在心肌梗死1周内,高龄和急性前壁心肌梗死患者容易发生FWR,而手术治疗能明显降低FWR风险。     

Effects and long‐term follow‐up of using umbilical cord blood–derived mesenchymal stromal cells in pediatric patients with severe BK virus‐associated late‐onset hemorrhagic cystitis after unrelated cord blood transplantation

This is a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical cord blood–derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for the treatment of pediatric patients with severe BK virus–associated late‐onset hemorrhagic cystitis (BKV‐HC) after unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT). Thirteen pediatric patients with severe BKV‐HC from December 2013 to December 2015 were treated with MSCs. The number of MSCs transfused in each session was 1 × 10⁶/kg once a week until the symptoms improved. The median follow‐up time was 1432 (89‐2080) days. The median frequency of MSC infusion was 2 (1‐3), with eight cured cases and five effective cases; the total efficacy rate was 100%. The copy number of urine BKV DNA was 4.43 (0.36‐56.9) ×10⁸/mL before MSC infusion and 2.67 (0‐56.3) ×10⁸/mL after MSC infusion; the difference was not significant (P = .219). There were no significant differences in the overall survival, disease‐free survival, and the incidence of relapse and acute and chronic graft‐versus‐host disease between the MSC infusion group and non‐MSC infusion group. There was also no significant difference in the cytomegalovirus, Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV), and fungal and bacterial infection rates between the two groups. Although umbilical cord blood–derived MSCs do not reduce the number of BKV DNA copies in the urine, the cells have a high efficacy rate and minimal side effects in treating severe BKV‐HC after UCBT among pediatric patients. MSCs do not affect the rates of relapse, long‐term infection, or survival of patients with leukemia.     

脑卒中个案管理师准入标准和工作职责方案的构建

目的 构建脑卒中个案管理师准入标准和工作职责,为制订符合中国国情的脑卒中个案管理师人才培养方案和工作标准提供参考依据。方法 基于文献研究、脑卒中患者管理现状调查、专家会议讨论和预咨询,构建准入标准和工作职责初稿;采用德尔菲专家咨询法,对全国8个省市的20名专家进行问卷咨询。 结果 2轮专家咨询的问卷有效回收率分别是95.2%和100.0%。第2轮咨询中,专家权威系数为0.910,准入标准和工作职责的一、二、三级指标专家意见的肯德尔和谐系数分别为0.193、0.155、0.141（P<0.05）和0.445、0.156、0.134（P<0.05）。最终形成的脑卒中个案管理师准入标准包括一级指标3项（基础条件、专业能力、综合能力）,二级指标7项,三级指标17项。工作职责包括一级指标4项（评估、计划、实施、评价）,二级指标17项,三级指标79项。 结论 经专家咨询确定的脑卒中个案管理师准入标准和工作职责方案具有较好的科学性、实用性、可行性和创新性,能为脑卒中个案管理护理实践提供理论依据。     

综合营养评估工具在心衰患者中的应用价值

目的 对心衰患者所采用的综合营养评估工具及应用价值进行综述，为我国心衰患者的营养相关研究提供理论基础。方法 以“营养”、“心力衰竭”、“nutrition”、“heart failure”等为关键词，查询PubMed、Web of Science、知网等数据库相关文献，综述材料。结果 对心衰患者运用的综合营养评估工具种类较多，各量表信效度较高，营养风险和营养不良检出率较好，但均为普适量表，测评内容不能与心衰患者的临床特征完全相符，开发针对心衰患者的营养评估工具处于起步阶段。结论 综合营养评估工具对心衰患者的营养评估效果较好，未来需要加强针对心衰患者营养量表的研究。
