目的:研究呼吸操改善慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者肺功能的机制。方法:对本院46例COPD 患者随机分成对照组和治疗组,按常规内科治疗并对其有计划地进行健康知识教育。治疗组在常规内科治疗加康复指导基础上,增加呼吸操训练。测定治疗前后6分钟步行距离、血清白三烯、呼出气中一氧化氮浓度(fractional exhaled nitric oxide, FENO)。结果:治疗组较对照组6分钟步行能力改善,血清白三烯水平下降(Plt;0.05)、呼气NO含量下降(Plt;0.05)。结论:加强COPD患者的健康指导及呼吸操训练可改善患者肺功能状况,明显提高生活质量
【摘要】 目的 通过对早期妊娠卵黄囊的观察，探讨其在早孕超声诊断中的临床价值。 方法 2008年5月-2009年1月应用阴道超声诊断仪观察536例早孕患者卵黄囊的形态、大小及卵黄囊的数目，根据结果分为卵黄囊正常及异常组，比较卵黄囊的增长情况与妊娠预后的关系。 结果 504例正常组中，501例正常妊娠结局的卵黄囊大小从孕5~11周持续增长，此后逐渐缩小，孕12周后消失；另3例为宫外孕而中止妊娠。卵黄囊异常组32例。正常组和异常组的卵黄囊大小及形态有统计学意义（Plt;0.05）。 结论 卵黄囊超声影像学改变可作为诊断早孕及预测妊娠发展和转归的可靠手段。【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the clinical value of yolk sac in the diagnosis of early pregnancy by observing the change of yolk sac. Methods The yolk sacs in 536 pregnant women were measured by ultrasonogaphy from May 2008 to January 2009, and the correlation of the growth condition of the normal or abnormal yolk sac with pregnancy outcome were observed. Results In the normal group (504 patients), the yolk sac size of 501 patients continued to grow from five to 11 weeks of pregnancy, then gradually reduced and disappeared after 12 weeks of pregnancy. The other three patients terminated pregnancy because of ectopic pregnancy. Thirty-two cases of abnormal yolk sac were found. The results showed the size and shape of yolk sacs were significantly different between normal and abnormal groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The change of yolk sacs by ultrasonography during early pregnancy can be used as a good measure to diagnosis early pregnancy and predict the development and prognosis of pregnancy.
Objective A series of bioinformatics methods were used to identify ferroptosis related biomarkers in lupus nephritis (LN). Methods We retrieved sequencing data of GSE112943 from the GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) database and screened LN differentially expressed genes. We searched for ferroptosis-related gene (FRG) through FerrDb database, and screened LN-FRG. We conducted enrichment analysis on the LN-FRGs using David online bioinformatics database and screened the core LN-FRG using cytoHubba. We used external data sets to verify the core LN-FRGs, constructed competing endogenous RNA networks, and conducted molecular docking analysis. Results A total of 37 LN-FRGs were selected through screening. These genes are mainly enriched in inflammation, immune regulation and ferroptosis related signaling pathways. Through the cytoHubba and external dataset validation, the key core LN-FRG of ATF3 (activating transcription factor 3) was ultimately identified, and its expression was significantly increased in LN (P<0.05). Molecular docking analysis showed that ATF3 was closely bound to SLC7A11 and NRF2, and may participate in the occurrence and development of LN through the microRNA-27-ATF3 regulation axis. Conclusion The pivotal gene ATF3 may participate in the inflammation and immune injury of LN through ferroptosis.
Objective To identify the clinical features and risk factors for mortality associated with severe influenza B pneumonia of adults admitted to respiratory intensive care unit (ICU). Methods Patients with confirmed influenza B infection and respiratory failure between February 2020 and February 2022 who were admitted to the ICU were sequentially included. Demographic features, clinical data, microbiological data, complications, and outcomes were collected. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with hospital mortality. A comparison with severe influenza A pneumonia was made to explore the characteristics of influenza B virus-associated pneumonia. Results A total of 23 patients with influenza B pneumonia were included. The survival group included 18 patients and the death group included 5 patients, with an ICU mortality of 21.7%. The median age in the death group was 64 (64, 72.5) years, which was significantly older than the survival group, with a median age 59 (30.25, 64.25) years (P=0.030). Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that SOFA score [odds ratio (OR) 1.307, 95% confidential interval (CI) 1.013 - 1.686, P=0.039], decreased hemoglobin (OR 0.845, 95%CI 0.715 - 0.997, P=0.046), and high blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (OR 1.432, 95%CI 1.044 - 1.963, P=0.026) were independent risk factors for hospital mortality. Compared with influenza A pneumonia, patients with severe influenza B pneumonia had more complications (60.0% vs. 87.0%, P=0.023). Conclusions The mortality of severe influenza B virus-associated pneumonia with was high. Increased SOFA score, anemia, and high BUN were risk factors for ICU mortality of severe influenza B infection in adults.
