齐拉西酮与奥氮平治疗早期精神分裂症的临床效果比较

目的 探讨齐拉西酮和奥氮平对于治疗早期精神分裂症的临床疗效及比较两者的安全性。方法 选取我院2017年9月～2019年2月收治的60例早期精神分裂症患者作为研究对象,采用数字随机法将所有患者分成对照组30例和观察组30例,对照组给予奥氮平治疗,观察组给予齐拉西酮治疗。2周为1个疗程,两组均进行8周4个疗程治疗。比较两组患者于治疗前和治疗后2、4、8周进行阳性和阴性症状量表(PANNS)评分,病情严重程度(SI)、疗效总评(GI)评分和不良反应。结果 治疗2周、4周后,两组患者的PANSS评分和SI、GI评分均较低于治疗前,但两组的PANSS评分和SI、GI评分比较,差异无统计学意义(P0.05);疗程结束后,观察组的患者PANSS评分和SI、GI评分均低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);治疗期间,对照组的不良反应发生率高于观察组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论 对于治疗早期分裂症患者,齐拉西酮的长期治疗效果明显优于奥氮平,且安全可靠,值得临床上进一步推广。     

早发型子痫前期应用低分子肝素期待治疗的临床效果分析

目的分析早发型子痫前期应用低分子肝素期待治疗的临床效果。方法回顾分析2017-01—2018-12间在郑州大学第一附属医院产科终止妊娠的95例早发型子痫前期患者的临床资料。按终止妊娠前是否应用低分子肝素分为2组。对照组(47例)给予降压、解痉等治疗;观察组(48例)在对照组基础上加用低分子肝素。结果2组分娩孕周、妊娠延长时间、妊娠并发症发生率、新生儿出生体质量、新生儿窒息及胎儿宫内窘迫发生率、新生儿Apgar评分等,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论对早发型子痫前期患者在常规治疗基础上短期应用低分子肝素,不能延长妊娠时间,不改善母婴结局。     

Simultaneously recorded intracranial and scalp high frequency oscillations help identify patients with poor postsurgical seizure outcome

ObjectiveHigh frequency oscillations (HFO) between 80–500 Hz are markers of epileptic areas in intracranial and maybe also scalp EEG. We investigate simultaneous recordings of scalp and intracranial EEG and hypothesize that scalp HFOs provide important additional clinical information in the presurgical setting.MethodsSpikes and HFOs were visually identified in all intracranial scalp EEG channels. Analysis of correlation of event location between intracranial and scalp EEG as well as relationship between events and the SOZ and zone of surgical removal was performed.Results24 patients could be included, 23 showed spikes and 19 HFOs on scalp recordings. In 15/19 patients highest scalp HFO rate was located over the implantation side, with 13 patients having the highest scalp and intracranial HFO rate over the same region. 17 patients underwent surgery, 7 became seizure free. Patients with poor post-operative outcome showed significantly more regions with HFO than those with seizure free outcome.ConclusionsScalp HFOs are mostly located over the SOZ. Widespread scalp HFOs are indicative of a larger epileptic network and associated with poor postsurgical outcome.SignificanceAnalysis of scalp HFO add clinically important information about the extent of epileptic areas during presurgical simultaneous scalp and intracranial EEG recordings.     

EARLY COPD: determinantes de la aparición y progresión de la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica en adultos jóvenes. Protocolo de un estudio caso-control con seguimiento

Introduction and objectivesDeterminants of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the early stages of its natural history are not well known. Improving our knowledge of these factors will help to design interventions that can modify prognosis.Study objectives are: a) to characterize a COPD population of young adults aged 35-50 years from a multidimensional point of view; b) to compare these patients with smokers with normal lung function; and c) to create a cohort of young adults aged 35-50 years (smokers or former smokers), with and without COPD, who will be followed in the future to improve understanding of the natural history of the disease.Participants and methodThis is a case-control multicenter study aimed at establishing a well-characterized cohort of young adults, smokers or former-smokers, with and without COPD, for subsequent follow-up.A total of 311 participants (101 cases and 210 controls) were selected from approximately 30 primary care settings and 12 hospitals in 8 Spanish regions. Subjects were smokers or former smokers (> 10 pack-years) aged 35-50 years. Diagnosis of COPD was based on a post-bronchodilator result of FEV1/FVC < 70%.The main study variables were: questionnaires on health, symptoms, exacerbations and daily physical activity, lung function tests, blood and sputum samples, and low-dose computed tomography. In the statistical analysis, COPD patient characteristics will be described and compared with control subjects using a logistic regression analysis.     

Early onset scoliosis and current treatment methods

ObjectiveProvide an update of the management options for early onset scoliosis patients, including general assessment, conservative and surgical options.MethodsWe included the updated information about the assessment and management options of Early Onset Scoliosis, taking into consideration the non-fusion methods, including the burden on the patient and their family.ResultsWith the heterogeneity of this population, it is difficult to get a consensus about a unified protocol for management. Accordingly, the surgeon dealing with these cases needs to be aware of the broad range of surgical and non-surgical methods when treating these patients.ConclusionThe main aim of early onset scoliosis treatment is to gain a flexible spine associated with normal lung development and thoracic growth. Management needs to be individualized between the surgeon and patient in relation to the etiology and patient conditions.     

Glutamate hypothesis in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe psychiatric disorder that has profound impact on an individual’s life and on society. Thus, developing more effective therapeutic interventions is essential. Over the past quarter‐century, an abundance of evidence from pharmacologic challenges, post‐mortem studies, brain imaging, and genetic studies supports the role of glutamatergic dysregulation in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, and the results of recent randomized clinical trials based on this evidence have yielded promising results. In this article, we review the evidence that alterations in glutamatergic neurotransmission, especially focusing on the N‐methyl‐d ‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) function, may be a critical causative feature of schizophrenia, how this contributes to pathologic circuit function in the brain, and how these insights are revealing whole new avenues for treatment development that could reduce treatment‐resistant symptoms, which account for persistent disability.     

高海拔地区精神分裂症患考临床特征分析

目的:了解高海拔环境对精神分裂症的影响。方法:对106例高海拔地区精神分裂症患者(高海拔组)的临床特征、疗效、药物副作用进行调查,与同期106例平原精神分裂症患者(平原组)对照。结果:高海拔组临床症状以幻觉、疑病妄想、夸大妄想、紧张冲动行为及焦虑、抑郁等精神症状出现频率较高,而对照组以被害妄想、情感淡漠等精神症状出现频率较高(P<0.01或P<0.05);入院时高海拔组总体病情较重(P<0.01);两组间疗效无显著性差异;高海拔组药物不良反应多于平原组。结论:高海拔地区精神分裂症患者临床特征、总体病情严重程度、药物不良反应与平原地区有一定区别,可能与高海拔环境有关。     

高压氧治疗急性一氧化碳中毒174例护理效果观察

急性CO中毒是我国北方地区冬季的常见病,多发病。若治疗不及时或不彻底又有发生CO中毒迟发性脑病的危险。自从高压氧医学产生和发展以来,目前已成为CO中毒首选的主要治疗手段,取得了很好的治疗效果。本文对近3年来用高压氧(HBO)配合临床药物治疗CO中毒及迟发性脑病174例的治疗护理效果进行了观察,认为对急性CO中毒患者的治疗护理应及早发现、及早就医、及早HBO治疗并坚持足够的疗程,可以提高CO中毒的治愈率,降低死亡率,减少或减轻迟发性脑病的发生,同时认为整个HBO治疗过程中做好每个环节的护理工作是CO中毒患者救治成功的关键。1…
