RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare disease characterized by generalized gastrointestinal polyps, ectodermal abnormalities and variable gastrointestinal symptoms. Few cases to date have described complications with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Here we reported a rare case of CCS concomitant with DVT. The patient's clinical details, endoscopic findings, safety, and efficacy are reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital with recurrent diarrhea, overall abnormal appearance, including hyperpigmentation, hair loss and onychodystrophy, and multiple polyps distributed along the gastrointestinal tract except the esophagus. After considerable assessment, the patient was diagnosed with CCS. She was also diagnosed with concurrent DVT, nephrotic syndrome, and infectious enteritis during the course of disease. After treatment with a combination of methylprednisolone, mesalazine, antibiotics, rivaroxaban, and nutritional support during the 24 months of following the patient in this case, the clinical manifestations and endoscopic findings reached complete remission two years after the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this study is the first case of CCS complicated with DVT reported in China. Although rare, it is important to consider that DVT may occur after CCS and that it is vital to conduct careful follow-up.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Our study aims to explore the impact of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) alone or combined with montelukast on clinical efficiency and pulmonary function (PF) in treating patients with bronchial asthma complicated by obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS: A total of 386 patients with bronchial asthma underwent sleep monitoring. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the different treatment methods. The changes in PF, apnea hypopnea index (AHI) score and the level of inflammatory factors in all patients before and after treatment were recorded, and the clinical effect following treatment was noted. RESULTS: Following treatment, the clinical efficiency of Group 2 was significantly better than that of both Group 1and the control group, and the therapeutic effect in Group 1 was better than in the control group (P < .05). Before treatment, vital capacity (VC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and asthma control test (ACT) scores, AHI scores, C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) index were compared between the 3 groups (P > .05). In contrast, after treatment the VC, PEF, FEV1/FVC and ACT, AHI, CRP and TNF-α scores and the IL-6 index in the 3 groups were improved compared with before treatment. The indices in Groups 1 and 2 were better than in the control group, and the VC, PEF, FEV1/FVC and ACT, AHI, CRP, and TNF-α scores and IL-6 index in Group 2 reported greater beneficial effect than in Group 1. CONCLUSION: The combination of NIV and montelukast exerts a beneficial effect in treating patients with bronchial asthma complicated with OSAHS, which holds the potential of effectively improving clinical symptoms and PF, reducing ACT and AHI scores and alleviating inflammatory reactions. Hence, the combination is valid and appropriate for clinical application.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The current study was conducted to explore the clinical features and risk factors of patients with asthma complicated by obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS: Patients with asthma who underwent polysomnography in our hospital from August 2017 to December 2019 were enrolled in the study. Data on demographics, pulmonary function testing, polysomnography, blood gases, mean pulmonary artery pressure, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Of 238 patients with asthma, 93 who also had OSAHS formed the observation group and were subclassified into mild (n = 33), moderate (n = 41), and severe (n = 19) categories, while 145 patients with asthma alone were assigned to the control group. No significant differences were found in sex, age, course of disease, or pulmonary function between the two groups (P > 0.05), while the observation group showed more frequent allergic rhinitis and had greater BMI, neck circumference, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), and VEGF than those in the control group (P < 0.001). The peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC in the mild group and the moderate group were higher than those in the severe group (P < 0.001). The durations of AHI and SaO2 < 90% in the mild group and the moderate group were shorter than that in the severe group, and the lowest level of SaO2 in the mild group and the moderate group was higher than that in the severe group (P <  0.05). The mPAP and VEGF of the mild and moderate groups were lower than those of severe group (P < 0.001), with mild group lower than moderate group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Significant differences in allergic rhinitis, BMI, neck circumference, AHI, SaO2, mPAP, and VEGF were observed in patients with asthma complicated by OSAHS. These parameters are risk factors associated with asthma complicated by OSAHS.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To survey the prevalence rate of bronchial asthma in Beijing area among residents aged over 14 years. METHODS: In accordance with stratified cluster random sampling, epidemiological questionnaires were performed in Beijing residents aged over 14 years during household visits from February 2010 to August 2011. Asthma was diagnosed on the basis of case history, clinical signs and lung function test. The statistical software SAS 9.2 was employed to analyze the epidemiological status of asthma. RESULTS: In a sampling population of 61 107, 57 647 questionnaires were effective. Among 687 asthmatics, there were 296 males and 391 females. The overall prevalence rate of asthma was 1.19% (687/57 647). The asthma prevalence rates were 1.09% (418/38 468) and 1.40% (269/19 179) in urban and suburb Beijing respectively and the prevalence rate of asthma in suburb area was significantly higher than that of urban area (χ(2) = 10.850, P = 0.001). The prevalence rates of males and females were 1.06% (296/27 947) and 1.32% (391/29 700) respectively and the prevalence rate of asthma in females was much higher than that of males (χ(2) = 8.098,P = 0.004). Significant differences existed among different age groups (χ(2) = 404.874, P = 0.000) and residents aged at or over 71 years had the highest prevalence rate. The prevalence rates in urban and suburb Beijing area increased by 1.12 and 2.26 folds respectively than that of 2002. And 198 asthmatics were first diagnosed in this survey and accounted for 28.8% (198/687) in all asthma diagnosed asthmatics. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence rate of asthma in Beijing area among residents aged over 14 years increased greatly from 2010 to 2011. And the epidemiological data may reflect the current distribution status of asthma in Beijing area.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Patient gender has clinical and prognostic implications in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, yet the potential effect of gender on clinical characteristics of patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is still unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the gender differences in clinical characteristics of patients with bronchiectasis in different age groups in northern China. METHODS: A total of 777 patients diagnosed with bronchiectasis were retrospectively included in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and divided into two groups by gender: the male group and the female group. Each group was then subdivided into two according to their age (≤65 and >65 years). Gender differences in clinical characteristics were compared in all patients with bronchiectasis in the two age groups, respectively. RESULTS: A total of 777 bronchiectasis patients were included. Of these patients, the prevalence of female non-smokers was substantially higher than that of male non-smokers (94.0% vs. 36.8%). There were gender differences in etiology of bronchiectasis, with more post-measles and connective tissue disease in females (p = 0.006 and 0.002 separately) and more chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in males (p < 0.001). The male group had a significantly higher C-reactive protein (CRP) on admission (p = 0.03). Female patients showed a higher forced expiratory volume in 1 s as percentage of predicted volume (FEV1%pred) and forced vital capacity rate of 1 s (FEV1/FVC) (p < 0.001), lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2 ) (p = 0.04) and hospital costs (p = 0.02) than males, and a higher prevalence of infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in >65-year-old group (p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: There were many differences between male and female patients in smoking status, etiology, lung function, blood gas analysis, and hospital costs in all patients or different age groups.
