Study on Clinical Profile,Treatment and Outcomes of Patients with Acute Cardio-cerebral Infarction / 医学研究杂志

Objective Cardio-cerebral infarction(CCI)is a severe clinical syndrome in which acute myocardial infarction(AMI)and acute ischemic stroke(AIS)occurs simultaneously(synchronous CCI,SCCI)or successively(metachronous CCI,MCCI).The study aims to explore its clinical profile,management and outcomes.Methods This is a single-center retrospective study of inpatients with CCI who presented to Xuanwu hospital from January 2014 to December 2021.The study collected and analyzed demographic informa-tion,clinical profile,management and outcomes(all-cause death,MACE events,mRS scores,bleeding events).Results Totally 137 patients with CCI were enrolled in the study,including 28 SCCI and 109 MCCI.Hypertension,smoking and diabetes were prominent risk factors for CCI.The heart function decreased significantly,including 42.9％suffered Killip Ⅲ-Ⅳ and 40.0％suffered decreased left ventricular ejection fraction.Large artery atherosclerosis was the most predominant etiology of AIS.The average NIHSS score was 11.24± 10.50.The rate of emergency reperfusion therapy was low(29.2％).Compared to the group that did not received emergence reperfusion therapy,the patients received emergency reperfusion therapy had a lower in-hospital mortality(P=0.042).All-cause mortality oc-curred in up to 27.0％,including 11.7％cardiovascular death.Heart failure(43.8％)was the most frequent MACE events.34.3％pa-tients had good neurological function(mRS 0-2)at discharge.27 patients(19.7％)experiencing major bleeding events,including 19 patients(13.9％)had the hemorrhagic transformation of AIS.Conclusion The CCI therapy still faces challenges,such as low reperfu-sion rate,differentiated antithrombotic options,and poor clinical prognosis.Large clinical research is need for promote the optimization of CCI treatment.

A new chest compression posture detection model based on a dual ZED camera / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:Correct chest compression posture (CCP) is an important basis for high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but the research on CCP was still very limited. In this study, a new automatic analysis model was developed to achieve the purpose of objectification, standardization and automation of CCP monitoring.Methods:A total of 15 participants, including 11 professionals and 4 nonprofessionals, were recruited to participate in the field experiment. The video data were recorded simultaneously with zed cameras in the front and 45-degree sides. All participants performed 120 consecutive external chest compression operations on the Smartman CPR simulator. Three experts annotated the videos independently. An intelligent algorithm was used to extract human bone points for subsequent analysis and model development. The chi-square test was used to compare the rates of the professional and nonprofessional groups.Results:The results showed that problems with wrists, fingers, center of body weight and elbow bending had the highest incidence. Through 28 800 sets of standard human skeleton point coordinate data, we obtained a reasonable range of arm angles of 169.24°- 180.00° for the left arm and 168.49°-180.00° for the right arm. By the same method, the reasonable range of the center of gravity angle is 0.00°-18.46°. Based on these results, a new chest compression posture detection model based on a dual ZED camera was developed, which can accurately identify CCP errors (accuracy 91.31%; sensitivity 80.16%; specificity 93.53%).Conclusions:This study innovatively proposed an objective evaluation method for CCP. Moreover, a new chest compression posture detection model based on a dual ZED camera was developed, which can accurately identify CCP errors to achieve automation and standardization of quality control in CPR training.

A study on the value of the serial position effect combined with delayed recall of auditory verbal learning test in distinguishing elderly patients with different levels of cognitive impairment / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of the serial position effect combined with delayed recall of auditory verbal learning test in diagnosing the elderly patients with different levels of cognitive impairment.Methods:A total of 310 subjects were enrolled and divided into three groups: the normal control group(NC group, n=128), the mild cognitive impairment group(MCI group, n=133)and the mild Alzheimer's disease group(mild AD group, n=149)matched for gender, age and education level.Comprehensive neuro-psychological tests were performed on all subjects, and the Auditory Verbal Learning Test-Huashan version(AVLT-H)was used to analyze the serial position effect.Results:There were significant differences in the primacy effect of the second and third time of immediate recall, short-term and long-term delayed recall among the three groups( P<0.05), but no difference was found in the recency effect between the MCI and mild AD groups( P>0.05). The long-term delayed primacy effect combined with the short-term delayed recall showed a better validity to distinguish those elderly subjects with different levels of cognitive impairment than other memorial indexes, and the correlative sensitivity and specificity were 83.21% and 71.43%(NC group vs.MCI group), 85.71% and 92.86%(NC group vs.mild AD group), 66.67% and 75.57%(MCI group vs.mild AD group), respectively. Conclusions:The long-term delayed primacy effect combined with the short-term delayed recall can assist in distinguishing elderly patients with different levels of cognitive impairment.

The models were changed within the three groups and students were then trained and evaluated for the second time. Comparison of the results was performed among the three groups. After one month, group A, B and C received examination and evaluation again. Students and instructors were asked to fill in the rating scale for M1, M2 and M3. Results ①No statistically significant differences were found in the number (31, 28, 32), gender (male/female, 10/21, 9/19, 12/20) and the pre-training test score of the students among the three groups. ②The score of the first evaluation on M1 was significantly lower in group A than in group B and C, while the scores of the second and third examination were significantly higher in group A than in the other two groups. ③The score after one month was significantly higher in group A than in group B and C. ④M1 scores (4, 5; 4.63, 5) were significantly higher than those in group B (3, 4; 2, 2.5) and group C (2, 3; 2, 2.25). Conclusion The structure and performance of the training model of tracheal intubation can indeed influence the teaching effect.

Prevalence characters of peripheral artery disease and associated factors among Beijing residents aged equal and above 35 years old / 中华心血管病杂志

Objective@#To investigate the prevalence characters of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and associated factors among people aged 35 and above in Beijing.@*Methods@#This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 5 208 community-based individuals aged equal and above 35 in Beijing were chosen with stratified multistage random sampling method. Structure questionnaire was used to collected the information of demographic factors, habits and chronic disease history. Ankle brachial blood pressure was detected and ankle brachial index (ABI) was calculated. ABI was used to diagnose PAD (ABI≤0.90). Based on the 2010 Beijing Municipal Population Census, the age-and gender-specific weight-adjusted sample was acquired to estimate the prevalence of PAD and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the associated factors of PAD.@*Results@#The age-and sex-standardized prevalence of PAD was 3.84% (200/5 208, 95%CI 3.32%-4.36%). There was no significant difference between male and female (3.83%(102/2 664, 95%CI 3.10%-4.56%) vs. 3.85% (98/2 544, 95%CI 3.10%-4.60%), P=0.965). The prevalence of PAD in urban was higher than that in rural (4.34% (163/3 755, 95%CI 3.69%-4.99%) vs. 2.55% (37/1 453, 95%CI 1.74%-3.36%), P=0.001). Furthermore, the prevalence of PAD increased with age (Ptrend<0.01), and the difference between genders did not change with ageing (all P>0.05). In addition, age (OR=1.03, 95%CI 1.01-1.04), urban (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.08-2.12), smoking (OR=1.83, 95%CI 1.29-2.59), hypertension (OR=1.61, 95%CI 1.17-2.22) and diabetes (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.08-1.93) were related with increased risk of PAD in logistic regression analysis models.@*Conclusions@#The prevalence of PAD increases with age in Beijing and there are significant difference between urban and rural on prevalence of PAD. Age, urban, smoking, hypertension and diabetes are related with increased risk of PAD.

Objective To find out the prevalence of urinary incontinence(UI),as well as its impact on self assessed life quality in community dwelling elderly Beijing residents.Methods A total of 2 878 local elderly residents(≥ 65 years)were enrolled through stratified cluster random sampling from July 2013 to December 2014 in Beijing.A face-to-face questionnaire survey and physical examination were conducted by trained investigators.UI was screened using ICIQ SF.Prevalence of UI was adjusted by the standard population of Beijing and the number of elderly people with UI was estimated.Results The overall prevalence of UI was 24.6％.The morbidity of UI was 18.5％ in male and 29.8％ in female participants.The estimated number of elderly UI patients in Beijing was about 445 thousands,with 153 thousand male and 292 female patients.After adjustment for potential confounding demographic,lifestyle and chronic disease factors,logistic regression analysis revealed that UI was negatively correlated with several self-assessed measures,including quality of life,health,sleep quality,activities of daily life,sexual life and relationship with other people(all P＜0.05).Moreover,negative emotions in the last four weeks increased in the elderly with UI.Conclusions Nearly one quarter of the aged population,especially among aged women,in Beijing suffer from UI.UI severely affects the quality of life and emotions in aged persons.It is necessary to take early interventions to improve quality of life and promote healthy aging.

Investigation of prevalence and risk factors of H-type hypertension among middle-aged and elderly people in Beijing community / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of H-type hypertension among middle-aged and elderly people in Beijing community. Methods A cross-sectional study by recruiting 1 458 middle-aged and elderly people from a cohort of the "Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging" in 2009 was conducted. All participants were asked to complete a standardized questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory examinations. Hyperhomocysteinemia was defined as homocysteine (Hcy) > 15 μmol/L, and H- type hypertension was defined as having hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia simultaneously. The prevalence of H-type hypertension was estimated by using the results of 2000 Beijing population census to weight the data. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was preformed to estimate the associated factors of H-type hypertension. Results The age was (69.48 ± 8.09) years, and the distribution of Hcy was skewed with the median of 16.56 μmol/L. After weight, the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia was 57.20% (834/1 458), and the prevalence of H-type hypertension was 35.32% (515/1 458), accounting for 59.47% (515/866) in patients with hypertension. The ageing, male, hyperuricemia, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and insufficiency of fishes/ shrimps were independent risk factors of H-type hypertension ( OR = 2.30, 1.04, 1.02, 0.95 and 0.67; 95% CI 1.54-3.44, 1.02-1.06, 1.04-1.06, 0.94-0.97 and 0.46-0.97; P＜0.01 or＜0.05). Conclusions The proportion of H-type hypertension is high in the middle-aged and elderly people in Beijing community. Lowering uric acid, protection of renal function and intake sufficient fishes and shrimps might prevent and control H-type hypertension.
