长期住院慢性精神分裂症患者的生活质量

目的:评估长期住院的慢性精神分裂症患者的生活质量,并分析影响因素。方法:纳入2004-01/08在北京回龙观医院住院的慢性精神分裂症患者163例。以年龄、性别、受教育程度为匹配条件,按照2∶1的比例选择本院职工及医院所在社区内82例健康自愿者为对照组。采用健康状况调查问卷进行生活质量评价:包括36个条目,归纳为8个分量表:生理机能,生理职能、躯体疼痛、一般健康状况、精力、社会功能、情感职能和精神健康。分数越高,表明该方面的功能状况越好,生活质量越高。结果:发放调查问卷245份,收回有效问卷245份。①精神分裂症患者健康状况调查问卷各维度评分均低于对照组,两组比较差异有显著意义。②相关分析发现长期住院的慢性精神分裂症患者健康状况调查问卷评分与阳性与阴性症状量表评分、副反应量表呈负相关(P<0.05～0.001)。健康状况调查问卷评分与性别呈正相关(P<0.05～0.001),与年龄、婚姻状况、病期、住院时间、目前状态、躯体疾病呈负相关(P<0.05～0.001)。结论:长期住院的慢性精神分裂症患者的生活质量低下,影响因素包括精神病状态、药物副反应、年龄、性别、病期、住院时间、婚姻状况、躯体疾病。     

The inter‐rater reliability between nurse‐assessors clinically assessing infection of chronic wounds using the WUWHS criteria

The aim of this study was to determine the inter‐rater reliability between one expert‐nurse and four clinical‐nurses who were asked to clinically assess infection of chronic wounds by using the World Union of Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS) criteria. A quasi‐experimental design was used to collect the data. In comparison to phase 1 in which ‘open questions’ were asked, in phase 2 a pre‐printed form (checklist) was introduced. In both phases, 55 chronic wounds were clinically assessed. For each WUWHS criterion the inter‐rater reliability of signs and symptoms was expressed by Cohens Kappa (κ). A substantial agreement (κ ≥ 0·6) was considered as adequate. In both phases pocketing (p < 0·02), and erythema (p < 0·004) scored statistically significant results. Phase 2 showed higher inter‐rater agreements compared with phase 1 (three substantial agreements (easily bleeding/friable granulation tissue, delayed healing, increasing exudate), an almost perfect‐ and a perfect agreement for malodour and pain, respectively. According to the results it can be concluded that the clinical assessment of infection of chronic wounds may be better supported by a pre‐printed form than making use of an ‘open questions’ form. To provide this with a higher level of evidence, there is need for more well conducted studies.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the elderly athletes.

AIM: Regular exercise is a key component of cardiovascular risk prevention strategies, because it is associated with a variety of beneficial metabolic and vascular effects that reduce mortality and the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events. Endothelium plays an important role in the local regulation of vascular tone and structure, mainly by nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and action. Aim of the present study was to evaluate in elderly athletes the effect of regular aerobic exercise on arterial blood pressure (BP) and on endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. METHODS: The study population included 30 male subjects (mean age 65.6+/-5.6 years), who had practiced endurance running at a competitive level for at least 40 years, and 28 age- and sex-matched subjects (mean age 64.5+/-4.5 years) with sedentary lifestyle and free of cardiovascular disease. Athletes and control subjects underwent standard 12-lead ECG, clinic BP, 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring and endothelium-dependent FMD and endothelium-independent response to glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), 400 microg, in the brachial artery by high-resolution ultrasonography. RESULTS: Systolic clinic and ambulatory 24-h BP were significantly lower in the athletes, than in the controls (P<0.001, respectively). Systolic and diastolic 24-h BP variability, when assessed either by the standard deviation (S.D.), or by the coefficient of variation (CV), were also significantly lower in the athletes (P<0.01). The athletes also had a lower 24-h, day-time and night-time heart rate (HR) (P<0.01), as well as a lower HR variability (P<0.01). As regards circadian BP change, the %Delta was statistically significant greater in athletes (P<0.05). Elderly athletes showed higher FMD than elderly sedentary subjects (P<0.001), whereas no differences were shown in the response to GTN. CONCLUSIONS: Our results, suggest that long-term physical activity can counteract the age-related endothelial dysfunction that characterizes sedentary aging, preserving the capacity of the endothelium-dependent vasodilation and reduces BP values improving arterial pressure control.     

Effect of L-thyroxine treatment on left ventricular function in subclinical hypothyroidism.

Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thyroxine treatment on myocardial regional left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). Forty-two patients (29 women and 13 men; mean age 52.2+/-15.1 years) with SH, as judged by elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (>3.6 mIU/l; range, 3.8-12.0) and free thyroid hormones (FT4 and FT3) within the normal range, and 30 euthyroid volunteers (21 women and nine men; mean age 50.4+/-17.1 years) underwent standard echocardiography and TDI-derived early (Em) and late (Am) diastolic velocities, systolic (Sm) velocity, and isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRTm). Patients were randomly assigned to receive or not L-thyroxine replacement therapy. All patients returned after 6 months to repeat thyroid function tests and the evaluation of all parameters. No significant differences were seen in the Sm peak between SH and control groups. Respect to controls, SH patients exhibited a lower Em, a higher Am, and, subsequently, a reduced Em/Am ratio of both lateral wall (LW) and interventricular septum (IVS) (P<0.001 for both). The IVRTm was distinctly longer in SH patients, as compared to controls (P<0.001). At 6 months, L-thyroxine-treated patients showed a significant increase of Em (P<0.01) and a subsequent increase of the Em/Am ratio (P<0.01), whereas IVRTm significantly reduced (P<0.05). No significant change in any of these parameters was observed in the untreated group. Our data suggest that SH is associated with a subtle, reversible impairment of myocardial function. TDI analysis detects and extends these functional defects by displaying alterations in regional myocardial function. L-T4 replacement therapy should be advised for these patients with the aim to correct preclinical cardiac dysfunction and prevent the development of clinically significant myocardial dysfunction.     

认知矫正治疗对慢性精神分裂症患者临床症状和社会功能的影响

目的:观察认知矫正治疗对慢性精神分裂症患者临床症状和社会功能的改善作用。方法:选择2003-01/08在北京回龙观医院住院的慢性精神分裂症患者104例。均符合CCMD-Ⅲ及DSM-Ⅳ关于精神分裂症诊断标准;年龄25～55岁;病程≥2年;病情稳定,处于迁延、残留或部分缓解状态;药物治疗状况稳定,近期无换药打算;纳入对象或家属同意入组并签署知情同意书。应用随机数字表法将患者分认知矫正治疗组和对照组,每组52例。在相近药物治疗的基础上,认知矫正治疗组以Ann Delahunty和Rodney Morice等制定的神经认知矫正手册(汉化)为治疗工具,在治疗师的指导下进行认知作业练习,内容包括认知灵活性、工作记忆、计划执行功能3大功能模块。对照组予以相同时间的工娱治疗,主要包括有治疗师指导的操作性音乐治疗和舞蹈治疗。治疗前后两组患者分别进行PANSS、住院精神患者社会功能缺陷量表和护士观察量表的评定。结果:实验共纳入慢性精神分裂症患者104例,认知矫正治疗组44例,对照组46例进入结果分析,14例脱落。①治疗前后两组患者PANSS量表总分以及阴性症状量表、复合量表、一般精神病理量表、反应缺乏量表4个分量表的评分均有下降,组内比较差异有显著性意义(t=2.12～4.59,P<0.05);减分情况在两组间差异不明显(P>0.05)。②两组患者的社会功能缺陷量表总分在治疗后均有下降,与治疗前比较,差异有显著性意义(t=3.89,2.04,P<0.05);两组间比较,差异无显著性意义(P>0.05)。认知矫正治疗组治疗后护士观察量表的总病情以及总消极、迟滞2个分量表评分下降,与治疗前比较差异有显著性意义(t=1.49,1.19,2.81,P<0.05);其中迟滞项的减分在两组间比较,差异具有显著性意义(F=4.97,P<0.05)。③社会功能量表的改善与词语流畅性的改善呈正相关(R2=0.36,P<0.05),护士观察量表中总病情与积极两项评分的改善也与言语流畅性测验的改善正相关(R2=0.37,0.34,P<0.05)。结论:认知矫正治疗能在一定程度上改善精神分裂症患者的社会功能,并与部分认知功能的改善相关,但对临床症状无明显改善作用。     

Behavior of Lp(a) and apoproteins (A1, B,C2, C3, E) during and after therapy with simvastatin

Summary The efficacy of simvastatin in reducing plasma cholesterol is well documented. Other molecules within the apo lipoprotein family, particularly lipoprotein (a) Lp(a), have recently been found to have a predictive and/or causative role in atherosclerosis. Based on these considerations, we studied 15 patients affected by primary hypercholesterolemia to evaluate the effect of simvastatin in Lp(a) and apoprotein plasma levels (A1, B, C2, C3, E), in addition to the classic lipid parameters. Clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated before therapy, after 12 weeks of therapy, and after 5 weeks of drug withdrawal. Simvastatin therapy produced a significant reduction in total cholesterol (CH) and LDL-CH (p<0.0001), and a significant increase in HDL-CH (p<0.01); no variation was observed in triglyceride (TG) levels. Simvastatin therapy further showed a significant decrease in apoC2 (p<0.05), the apo C2/C3 ratio (p<0.01), and apoE (p<0.01), as well as a significant increase in Lp(a) plasma levels (p<0.05). All of the parameters studied returned to pretreatment values 5 weeks after drug withdrawal; only HDL-CH persisted above the values reached during therapy. Our data agree with those documenting the beneficial effect of simvastatin in greatly decreasing CH and LDL-CH, but point out the need for further studies on the long-term effect of simvastatin on apoprotein molecules, such as on Lp(a), in order to fully establish its role in the secondary prevention of atherosclerosis.
