RESUMEN
【Objective】 To evaluate the role of quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by using regadenoson stress dynamic single-photon emission computed tomography (D-SPECT). 【Methods】 We selected 200 patients with unstable angina admitted to Department of Cardiology, Hebei Medical University First Hospital, from June 31, 2021 to June 31, 2023 for elective PCI. The patients were aged 57.56±8.23 years and were randomly divided into a conventional group (n=100) and a QFR group (n=100) according to a random number table. The trial was conducted using a double-blind method. The conventional group received PCI treatment based on the experience of the physician, while the QFR group received PCI treatment based on the QFR measurement results. All enrolled patients underwent pre-operative and 7-day post-operative D-SPECT stress imaging using regadenoson stress D-SPECT, and their images were acquired from short axis, vertical long axis, and horizontal long axis to calculate the total myocardial perfusion score and the total myocardial ischemia segment number under the distribution of 17 myocardial segments. 【Results】 There was no significant difference in the number of myocardial ischemia segments (7.59±3.14 vs. 7.48±3.36, P=0.811) or the total myocardial perfusion score (15.87±7.61 vs. 15.63±5.97, P=0.860) between the two groups before PCI. The number of myocardial ischemia segments (5.58±3.36 vs. 6.51±2.14, P=0.020) and the total myocardial perfusion score (10.55±4.41 vs. 12.96±6.50, P=0.002) in the QFR group were significantly better than those in the conventional group 7 days after PCI (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Applying QFR guidance for PCI can better improve the degree of myocardial ischemia in patients.
RESUMEN
Objective:To observe the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation training in a group on the speech and life quality of stroke survivors with dysarthria.Methods:Stroke survivors with dysarthria were randomly divided into an observation group (of 43) and a control group (of 41). In addition to routine medication, the control group was given 30 minutes of one-to-one rehabilitation training twice a day, 6 days a week for 4 weeks while the observation group was provided with 30 minutes of group training. Before and after the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the comprehensive dysarthria assessment scale and the WHOQOL-100 life quality assessment.Results:After the treatment, both groups′ average scores on the comprehensive assessment scale had improved significantly. Except for jaw positioning, all of the observation group′s other scores were significantly better than those of the control group, on average. The observation group also performed significantly better on the WHOQOL-100 assessment, on average.Conclusions:Group rehabilitation training can improve the speech function and life quality of stroke survivors with dysarthria significantly better than one-to-one training.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effects of tongue and nape acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group of dysarthria on speech function in post-stroke dysarthria patients, and to explore the treatment of dysarthria.@*METHODS@#Eighty patients with dysarthria were randomly divided into an observation group (40 cases) and a control group (40 cases). The patients in the two groups were treated with conventional treatment. The patients in the control group were treated with the acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group of dysarthria; the patients in the observation group were treated with the control group treatment and tongue acupuncture, once a day, 6 days per week for 2 weeks. The patients were evaluated with general dysarthria scale and dysarthria checklist of Chinese Rehabilitation Study Center before and after 2-week treatment.@*RESULTS@#After treatment, the total score and each item score of general dysarthria scale were reduced (all <0.05); all the score in the observation group was lower than those in the control group (all <0.05), except the score of jaw which had no significant difference between the two groups. After treatment, the dysarthria checklist of Chinese Rehabilitation Study Center in the observation group was superior to that in the control group (<0.05). The total effective rate was 85.0% (34/40) in the observation group, which was higher than 67.5% (27/40) in the control group (<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Tongue acupuncture, nape acupuncture and rehabilitation training group of dysarthria could effectively improve the speech function of post-stroke dysarthria patients.
