社区高血压非药物治疗措施的执行情况分析

Objective To assess effectiveness of implementation of non-pharmaceutical treatment in a standardized community-based hypertension management program in China.Methods A protocol of standardized community-based hypertension management was developed based on current guidelines for prevention and treatment of hypertension in China.Physicians in community health-care service centers at the grassroots across China were trained in a standardized way using this protocol during 2005 to 2008,and then the trainees were required to manage hypertensive patients according to the protocol.Hypertensive patients eligible for criteria of inclusion and under management for more than one year were analyzed to observe changes in their behavioral risk factors,pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatment,and effectiveness of blood pressure lowering.Results By the end of 2008,a total of 29 411 hypertensive patients had been managed for one year according to the protocol and 20 077 patients with complete data (47.1％ for male)with mean age of 61±11 years were eligible for analysis.After standardized management of one year,prevalence of smoking,alcohol drinking and proportion of patients who preferred salty diet decreased from 17.7 percent,18.1 percent and 32.8 percent to 8.9 percent,8.7 percent and 15.8 percent,respectively(P＜0.01).Srstolic blood pressure(BP)decreased by 11.6[95％confidence interval(CI)10.8-12.4]mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),13.7(95％CI 13.3-14.1)mm Hg and 15.2(95％CI14.8-15.6)mmHg in the patients with non-pharmaceutical therapy,pharmaceutical therapy and both,respectively;and diastolic BP decreased by 7.5(95％CI6.9-8.1)mm Hg,8.3(95％CI8.1-8.5)mmHg and 8.0(95％CI7.8-8.2)mm Hg in the three groups,respectively.During the one-year period of management,proportion of the patients with appropriate non-pharmaceutical therapy increased continuously.By the end of one-year management,59.5 percent of smoked patients were required to quit their smoking,55.5 percent of alcohol drinkers were required to limit their drinking,52.3 percent of overweight and obese patients were required to reduce their weight and 47.3 percent of patients with physical exercises less than three times a week were required to increase their regular physical activity.However,certain proportion of the patients with risk factors did not receive appropriate non-pharmaceutical therapy.Conclusion Guideline-oriented hypertension management succeeded in lifestyle changes among the patients,but it is a gradual process to its full implementation.     

Twenty-year trends in major cardiovascular risk factors in hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction in Beijing

Background Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia and current smoking are the strongest modifiable cardiovascular risk factors for acute myocardial infarction （AMI）. We examined their changing trends over the last 20 years. Methods The clinical data of 3498 patients hospitalized in Peking University People＇s Hospital with AMI from 1991 to 2010 were used. Information was collected regarding to patients＇ demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors （hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and current smoking）. To assess trends over time in the prevalence of risk factors, we categorized patients into four groups （1991 to 1995, 1996 to 2000, 2001 to 2005 and 2006 to 2010）. Results Highly significant increases were observed in the prevalence of hypertension from 40.8% to 55.6% for males and from 58.0% to 69.0% for females; and diabetes mellitus from 12.9% to 30.8% for males and from 23.0% to 42.3% for females. Similarly, the prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia decreased from 53.1% to 30.7% for males and from 57.0% to 44.0% for females. The prevalence of current smoking decreased in females from 29.0% to 11.1%, but remained unchanged in males. In addition, the proportion of patients with more than three modifiable risk factors increased from 19.0% to 27.1% and the age at onset of AMI extended to younger as well as older individuals. Conclusions The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus are still increasing in patients with AMI in Beijing and although the prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia and current smoking decreased, high clustering of risk factors were commonly present. These adverse trends show a compelling need for more effective management of cardiovascular risk factors.     

Intraocular pressure lowering efficacy and safety of travoprost 0.004% as a replacement therapy in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension

Background Travoprost has been widely used for the treatment of patients with open-angle glaucoma （OAG） or ocular hypertension （OH）. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intraocular pressure （lOP） lowering efficacy of travoprost 0.004% monotherapy in patients previously treated with other topical hypotensive medications, and in previously untreated patients. Methods This open-label, 12-week study in 1651 adult patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma who were untreated or required a change in therapy （due to either inadequate efficacy or safety issues） as judged by the investigator was conducted at 6 sites in China. Previously treated patients were instructed to discontinue their prior medications at the first visit. All the patients were dosed with travoprost 0.004% once-daily at 8 p.m. in both eyes for 12 weeks. Efficacy and safety evaluations were conducted at week 4 and 12. lOP measurements were performed at the same time of day at the follow-up visits. Results For patients transitioned to travoprost, mean lOP reductions from baseline in untreated and treated patients with different prior medications at week 12 were： latanoprost, （4.3±4.6） mmHg; β-blocker, （6.3±4.0） mmHg; α-agonist, （7.5±4.3） mmHg; topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, （8.0±4.9） mmHg. All mean lOP changes from baseline were statistically significant （P 〈0.001）. No treatment-related serious adverse events were reported in this study. Conclusions In patients treated with other hypotensive medications or untreated, the lOP reduction with travoprost was significant. The results of this study demonstrated the potential benefit of using travoprost as a replacement therapy in order to ensure adequate lOP control. Travoprost administered once daily was safe and well tolerated in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.     

Effects of glucocorticoids on traumatic brain injury related critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency

Background Traumatic brain injury （TBI） is a heterogeneous condition that can lead to critical LLLness-related corticosteroid insufficiency （CIRCI） causing a high mortality and morbidity.Glucocorticoids were widely used in the clinical management of TBI,but their benefit has been challenged in some studies and their efficacy,especially for treating CIRCI in TBI patients,remains unclear.Methods We conducted a meta-analysis of published data to determine if the controversy is related to clinical dosing and timing of glucocorticoids （GCs） application.We analyzed published reports in four databases （MEDLINE,EMBASE,the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register,and CBMdisc）.The published data were stratified into not only low-and high-dose GCs group but also short-and long-term GCs group to compare their effectiveness in improving TBI outcomes.Results We totally identified 16 reports.For low-dose patients,the pooled relative risks （RRs） for two clinical outcomes of death or a combination of death and severe disability were 0.95 （95% confidence interval （CI）：0.80 to 1.13） and 0.95 （95% CI：0.83 to 1.09）,respectively.The risks for infection and gastrointestinal bleeding were 0.85 （95% CI：0.50 to 1.45） and 0.64 （95% Cl：0.15 to 2.70）,respectively.For high-dose group,the pooled RR of death is 1.14 （95% Cl：1.06 to 1.21）.The pooled RRs for infection and gastrointestinal bleeding for the high-dose patients were 1.04 （95% CI：0.93 to 1.15） and 1.26 （95% CI：0.92 to 1.75）,respectively.For long-term use group,the pooled RRs for two clinical outcomes of death or a combination of death and severe disability were 0.98 （95% CI：0.87 to 1.12） and 1.00 （95% CI：0.90 to 1.11）,respectively.The risks for infection and gastrointestinal bleeding were 0.88 （95% CI：0.71 to 1.11） and 0.96 （95% CI：0.35 to 2.66）,respectively.For short-term use group,the pooled RR of death is 1.15 （95% CI：1.07 to 1.23）,and importantly the effects on infections were beneficial in terms of TBI patients suffering from CIRCI.Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests an increased risk of death for TBI patients on a high dose and short term of glucocorticoids compared with those on a low dose and long term,for whom a trend towards clinical improvement is evident.In addition,stress-does of GCs further decrease the pneumonia incidence in TBI patients suffering from CIRCI.A large-scale multicenter randomized controlled trial is warranted for testing （1） the efficacy of stress-dose GCs treatment in the sub-acute phase of TBI （4-21 days after initial trauma）,when CIRCI is most likely to occur; （2） the hypothesis that stress-dose GCs could boost patients＇ stress function and ensure survival.     

Superselective uterine arterial embolization with pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion for management of symptomatic uterine leiomyoma

Background Uterine arterial embolization (UAE) is a safe and effective therapy for symptomatic uterine leiomyoma. This study was to assess the effectiveness and the feasibility of pingyangmycinlipiodol emulsion (PLE) for the management of symptomatic uterine leiomyoma.Methods One hundred consecutive patients (aged 21-53 years, with 38 in average ) with symptomatic uterine leiomyoma underwent superselective UAE with PLE. Clinical symptoms of the patients (including menorrhagia, bulk-related symptoms, and postprocedure-related abdominal pain) and the changes in uterine volume and tumor size after the embolization were analyzed. The patients were followed up for 8-21 months (mean, 15 months).Results Ninety-nine patients (99%,99/100) were interviewed in their first menses circle after embolization, showing improvements in their abnormal bleeding and bulk-related symptoms to some extent. Imagiological results during follow-up showed a mean of 48% reduction in uterine volume at 6 months and a mean of 75% reduction in tumor size at 9 months. Eighty-three percent of the patients reported complete resolution of postprocedure pain within 7 days.Conclusions PLE is effective in the management of uterine leiomyoma, having superiority in alleviating postprocedure-related pain.     

Cigarette smoking contributes to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis associated with emphysema

Background Combined emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis,including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF）,is a distinct disorder described with upper-lobe emphysema and lower-lobe fibrosis on chest computed tomography.Smoking appears to be the predominant risk factor for this disorder.We aimed to compare clinical features,smoking history,physiological and radiological findings between IPF with and without emphysema.Methods A sample of 125 IPF patients over a period of 48 months were evaluated.High resolution CT scans were reviewed blinded to clinical data.The IPF patients with or without emphysema were classified accordingly.Results The prevalence of emphysema in this IPF sample was 70/125.IPF with emphysema was significantly associated with smoking status （OR 63; 95％ CI 4.4 to 915; P=0.002） and smoking pack year （OR 1.1; 95％ CI 1.05 to 1.13; P=-0.000）.The patients with IPF and emphysema had a higher decrease in carbon monoxide diffusing capacity adjusted for alveolar volume （（58±19）％ pred vs.（66：±：21）％ pred; P=-0.021） and a higher prevalence of pulmonary hypertension （24/70 vs.7/55; P=0.006）.The two groups of patients had similar forced and residual volumes.No significant differences were found in cell differentials of bronchoalveolar lavage or the scores of fibrosis on chest CT.Survival of the patients with emphysema was significantly less than that of patients with IPF alone.Conclusions Cigarette smoking induces IPF combined with emphysema.Emphysema further impairs physiological function and increases the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension that leads to poor prognosis.The inclusion of the patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema in IPF clinical trials may lead to under evaluation of the effect of treatment in patients.

It is estimated that 70% of the patients with cancer required radiation therapy in China.1 Radiation oncology is based on the development of radiological physics, radiological biology and clinical oncology.     

Chemotherapy with or without gefitinib in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis of 6844 patients

Background Gefitinib is widely used in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer （NSCLC）, in whom chemotherapy had failed. Previous trials reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of gefitinib on overall survival （OS） and progression free survival （PFS）. This study was to evaluate the effects of chemotherapy plus gefitinib versus chemotherapy alone on survival of patients with NSCLC. Methods We systematically searched Medline, EmBase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, reference lists of articles, and proceedings of major meetings for relevant literature. Randomized controlled trials （RCTs） comparing chemotherapy with and without gefitinib in the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC were included in our analysis. The primary endpoints were OS and PFS. Results Of 182 relevant studies, 12 were included in the final analysis, which consisted of 6844 patients with NSCLC. Overall, we noted that gefitinib therapy had an 8% improvement in the OS as compared to the gefitinib-free therapy, but this difference was not statistically significant （HR, 0.92; 95% CI： 0.85-1.00; P=0.051）. Furthermore, gefitinib therapy had significantly longer PFS compared to gefitinib-free therapy （HR, 0.72; 95% CI 0.60-0.87, P=0.001）. Patients receiving gefitinib therapy also had a more frequent objective response rate （ORR） than the control arm （OR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.67- 3.78, P 〈0.001）. Rashes, diarrhea, dry skin, pruritus, paronychia, and abnormal hepatic function were more frequent in the gefitinib therapy group. Conclusions Treatment with gefitinib had a clear effect on PFS and ORR, and it might contribute considerably to the OS. Furthermore, there was some evidence of benefit for gefitinib therapy among patients with adenocarcinoma.     

Differences and determinants in access to essential public health services in China: a case study with hypertension people and under-sixes as target population

Background Since 2009, health reform had launched in China and essential public health services were provided for all residents to ensure service equity and accessibility, and to achieve sustained population-wide health improvement. This study aimed to investigate the differences and determinants among populations with different characteristics access to essential public health services in China, especially hypertension people and children aged 0-6 years. Methods A cross-sectional study with socio-demographic data analysis was undertaken to estimate distribution characteristics of receiving essential public health services of hypertension patients and children. Regular follow-ups and effective blood pressure control reflected the effective management for hypertension patients, and for children, public services provided were vaccination on schedule and regular physical check-up. Logistic regression was used to determine the predictors for effective management. Results A total of 1 505 hypertension patients and 749 children were involved; 39.14% of hypertension participants could control their blood pressure in the normal range, and the rate in urban areas （43.61%） was higher than that in rural （31.88%）. And 34.68% of them could receive more than 4 times follow-ups by the medical technician. Of 754 children, 79.84% could receive the periodic physical examination and 98.40% had vaccinated regularly. Children living in rural areas were more likely to have regular check-ups （83.96%） and regular vaccination （nearly 99%）. Overall, geographic location and education level were the determinants of people access to essential public health services. Conclusions Implementation of the health reform since 2009 has headed China＇s public health system in the right direction and promoted the improvement of public health system development. Our study highlights the growing needs for more public health services in China, and China＇s public health system needs to be greatly improved in terms of its quality and accessibility.     

麻疹的双相移位研究进展

近年新生儿、婴儿、成人麻疹患者逐年增加,临床表现一般仍较典型,成年人麻疹患者全身中毒症状较重。麻疹抗体检测结果阳性是主要的诊断依据。麻疹发病的双相移位的机理可能是,免疫保护力不足,婴儿出生时麻疹抗体力低。孕期母传胎的麻疹抗体减弱,母经乳汁传给婴儿的抗体减弱,成人麻疹抗体水平逐年下降。预防措施是怀孕前给予育龄妇女麻疹疫苗接种,鼓励母乳喂养,麻疹疫苗计划免疫适当提前,在成人追加麻疹疫苗的免疫,加强病毒变异的研究等。
