Psychological Outcome after Hemorrhagic Stroke is Related to Functional Status

BackgroundTo identify opportunities to improve morbidity after hemorrhagic stroke, it is imperative to understand factors that are related to psychological outcome.Design/MethodsWe prospectively identified patients with non-traumatic hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage) between January 2015 and February 2021 who were alive 3-months after discharge and telephonically assessed 1) psychological outcome using the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dyscontrol, fatigue and sleep disturbance inventories and 2) functional outcome using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel Index. We also identified discharge destination for all patients. We then evaluated the relationship between abnormal psychological outcomes (T-score >50) and discharge destination other than home, poor 3-month mRS score defined as 3-5 and poor 3-month Barthel Index defined as <100.Results73 patients were included; 41 (56%) had an abnormal psychological outcome on at least one inventory. There were 41 (56%) patients discharged to a destination other than home, 44 (63%) with poor mRS score and 28 (39%) with poor Barthel Index. Anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dyscontrol and sleep disturbance were all associated with a destination other than home, poor mRS score, and poor Barthel Index (all p<0.05). Fatigue was related to poor mRS score and poor Barthel Index (p=0.005 and p=0.006, respectively).ConclusionMultiple psychological outcomes 3-months after hemorrhagic stroke are related to functional status. Interventions to improve psychological outcome and reduce morbidity in patients with poor functional status should be explored by the interdisciplinary team.     

Design,synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 4-(3-chloro-4-(3-cyclopropylthioureido)-2-fluorophenoxy)-7-methoxyquinoline-6-carboxamide (WXFL-152): a novel triple angiokinase inhibitor for cancer therapy

Angiokinases, such as vascular endothelial-, fibroblast- and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (VEGFRs, FGFRs and PDGFRs) play crucial roles in tumor angiogenesis. Anti-angiogenesis therapy using multi-angiokinase inhibitor has achieved great success in recent years. In this study, we presented the design, synthesis, target identification, molecular mechanism, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) research of a novel triple-angiokinase inhibitor WXFL-152. WXFL-152, identified from a series of 4-oxyquinoline derivatives based on a structure–activity relationship study, inhibited the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and pericytes by blocking the angiokinase signals VEGF/VEGFR2, FGF/FGFRs and PDGF/PDGFRβ simultaneously in vitro. Significant anticancer effects of WXFL-152 were confirmed in multiple preclinical tumor xenograft models, including a patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) model. Pharmacokinetic studies of WXFL-152 demonstrated high favourable bioavailability with single-dose and continuous multi-dose by oral administration in rats and beagles. In conclusion, WXFL-152, which is currently in phase Ib clinical trials, is a novel and effective triple-angiokinase inhibitor with clear PD and PK in tumor therapy.     

补中益气汤联合耳穴贴压对消化道肿瘤癌因性疲乏患者免疫功能及血清皮质醇的影响

目的:探讨补中益气汤联合耳穴贴压对消化道肿瘤癌因性疲乏患者免疫功能及血清皮质醇的影响。方法:选择消化道肿瘤癌因性疲乏患者92例,以随机数字表法分为两组,各46例。对照组常规治疗加耳穴贴压,观察组在对照组基础上加用补中益气汤。对比两组临床疗效、疲劳症状、生活质量、免疫功能指标、血清皮质醇及不良反应。结果:观察组总有效率为80.43%,高于对照组的60.87%(P<0.05)。治疗后两组患者PFS、CD₈⁺均降低,但观察组降低水平更大; 治疗后两组QLQ-C30、CD₃⁺、CD₄⁺及Cor水平均明显升高,且观察组升高幅度更大(P<0.05)。治疗期间对照组未出现明显不良反应,观察组出现2例,组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。对照组平均生存时间为(11.80±0.62)个月,观察组平均生存时间为(14.47±0.67)个月,两组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:补中益气汤联合耳穴贴压可提高消化道肿瘤癌因性疲乏患者临床疗效,延长患者生存期,改善疲劳症状、免疫功能指标,提高生活质量及皮质醇水平。     

中医特色护理技术干预混合痔术后疼痛临床研究

目的:观察在常规术后治疗与护理基础上加用中药熏洗结合针刺、耳穴贴压的综合特色护理技术干预混合痔吻合器痔上黏膜环切术(PPH)术后疼痛的效果。方法:将110例PPH术后患者随机分为对照组和观察组各55例。2组术后患者均行常规补液、抗炎、止血等对症处理,术后第1天起常规每天清洁换药,应用吲哚美辛栓术后纳肛,肛泰软膏适量外涂肛周,口服氨酚双氢可待因片,高锰酸钾坐浴,并予疼痛护理、饮食指导、排便指导等护理措施。观察组加予中药熏洗、针刺、耳穴贴压等中医护理技术。2组疗程均为5天。采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)分别于术后12 h、1天、2天、3天和5天评价疼痛情况,记录术后5天的氨酚双氢可待因片用量;术后1天、3天、5天评定创面水肿、渗液、便血和尿潴留的症状积分。结果:术后1天、3天、5天,2组VAS评分均较术后12 h下降(P<0.01),观察组术后1天、3天、5天的VAS评分均低于对照组(P<0.01)。术后3天、5天,2组症状积分均较术后1天下降(P<0.01),观察组术后3天、5天的症状积分均低于对照组(P<0.01)。术后5天的氨酚双氢可待因片使用量观察组为(8.62±2.11)片,少于对照组的(12.37±2.53)片(P<0.01)。结论:在常规术后治疗与护理的基础上加用中医综合特色护理技术,能更为有效地减轻混合痔PPH术后疼痛,减少镇痛药物的使用,减少术后其他并发症的发生,从而有利于患者的恢复。
