Stroke is a kind of cerebrovascular disease with high incidence and disability rate. Motor dysfunction and cognitive dysfunction are common dysfunctions of stroke. Rehabilitation treatment can effectively reduce the disability rate of stroke and improve the quality of life. The short-term hospitalization and ambulatory rehabilitation treatment cannot meet the rehabilitation needs of stroke patients. Cloud rehabilitation is one of the ways to solve this problem. This article introduces the definition and application of cloud rehabilitation and artificial intelligence (including assisted rehabilitation assessment and assisted rehabilitation treatment), and summarizes the current problems in the development of stroke cloud rehabilitation in China, so as to promote the construction of remote rehabilitation based on artificial intelligence in China and provide some references for the selection of rehabilitation programs for patients with stroke.
Objective To explore the consistency between the iKcare® grading system and Brunnstrom staging in evaluating upper and lower limb motor function in stroke patients. Methods From May 2018 to May 2020, stroke patients who met the standards in 34 medical institutions in China were recruited. The iKcare® grading system and Brunnstrom staging were used to evaluate the motor function of the upper and lower limbs of the subjects, respectively. The Kappa consistency test was used to evaluate the consistency between the two evaluation methods. Results A total of 340 eligible subjects were included, including 230 males and 110 females, with an average age of (61.44±12.77) years old, and an average course of disease of (62.96±42.53) days. The results showed that the Kappa evaluated for upper limb staging was 0.597 (P<0.001), and the Kappa evaluated for lower limb staging was 0.514 (P<0.001). Conclusions The evaluation results of iKcare® grading and Brunnstrom staging have moderate consistency. The iKcare® grading system can be used as an assessment tool for remote rehabilitation of motor function in stroke patients, but there is still room for improvement.
Objectives To systematically review the efficacy and safety of carbetocinversusoxytocin on the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) for women undergoing vaginal delivery. Methods PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, WanFang Data, CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on carbetocinversusoxytocin on the prevention of PPH for women undergoing vaginal delivery from inception to January 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0 software. Results A total of 16 RCTs including 2 537 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: compared to oxytocin, carbetocin could reduce the amount of blood loss within 24h (MD=–107.68, 95%CI–130.21 to –85.15, P<0.000 01) and 2h (MD=–85.98, 95%CI–93.37 to –78.59,P<0.000 01), hemoglobin (Hb) within 24h after delivery (MD=–5.63, 95%CI–6.82 to –4.43,P<0.000 01), the occurrence of PPH (RR=0.46, 95%CI 0.32 to 0.66,P<0.000 01) and the requirement for additional uterotonic agents (RR=0.63, 95%CI 0.48 to 0.84,P=0.002). There was no significant difference in the risk of adverse effects between two groups. Conclusions Current evidence shows that carbetocin is superior to oxytocin in the prevention of PPH for women undergoing vaginal delivery, without increasing the adverse effects. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above the conclusion.
ObjectivesTo investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of first diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in a general hospital, so as to improve early recognition and diagnosis of HIV/AIDS.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data of HIV/AIDS patients who were diagnosed for the first time and had medical records in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2015 to December 2016. Epidemiological information, clinical characteristics and opportunistic infection of these patients were analyzed.ResultsThe 1 036 HIV/AIDS patients were mainly from other regions of Sichuan Province except Chengdu. The overall ratio of male to female was 3.26∶1, and the ages of the patients were mainly between 15 and 59 years old (83.20%). In the occupational distribution, household or unemployed accounted for the largest proportion (36.39%). In terms of education level, junior high school accounted for the largest proportion (27.70%). Among marital status, married accounted for the largest proportion (52.41%). Among ethnic groups, the Han nationality accounted for the largest proportion (87.64%). The main infection route was sexual transmission (82.05%), of which heterosexual transmission accounted for 65.64% and homosexual transmission accounted for 16.41%. The clinical departments of confirmed patients had a wide range of sources, the top five of which were General Outpatient Clinic, Infection Center, Department of Emergency, Department of Dermatology & Venerology and Department of Neurology. Of the patients, 66.99% reported asymptomatic, and 33.01% had one or more symptoms. The most common symptoms were systemic symptoms such as fever, fatigue and lymphadenopathy, as well as clinical manifestations of respiratory system, nervous system and gastrointestinal system. The clinical stage of HIV/AIDS patients were mainly asymptomatic phase and AIDS phase, accounting for 98.65%. Among the HIV/AIDS patients, there were obviously more medical patients than surgical patients. The most common symptoms of the medical patients were fever, cough and expectoration, headache, fatigue and abdominal pain. The main symptoms of the surgical patients were headache, abdominal pain and lymphadenopathy. Compared with the surgical HIV/AIDS patients, the medical patients were younger (Z=−2.647, P=0.008), and the platelet counts (t=−2.110, P=0.036) and CD4+ T lymphocyte counts (Z=−4.639, P<0.001) were lower, the differences were statistically significant. Compared with the homosexually transmitted HIV/AIDS patients, the heterosexually transmitted patients were older (t=25.477, P<0.001), and had lower CD4+ T lymphocyte counts (Z=−2.779, P=0.005). And in males, the red blood cell count and hemoglobin content were lower. There were 214 patients (20.66%) with opportunistic infections, and 50 patients (4.83%) with tumors.ConclusionsHIV/AIDS patients in this general hospital come from different clinic departments, and were mainly Han nationality and married men. Sexual transmission is the main transmission route. Common clinical presentations of HIV/AIDS include fever, fatigue, cough and expectoration, headache, abdominal pain and lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS patients combined with opportunistic infections and tumors need more attention.
Stroke is a common and frequently-occurring disease, which seriously endangers human health. Rehabilitation treatment can effectively reduce the disability rate of stroke and improve the quality of life. The tertiary rehabilitation treatment system for stroke can effectively improve the motor function of stroke patients and improve the quality of life. This paper focuses on the choices and methods of physical therapy and occupational therapy at all levels of the hospitals and in different periods of the disease. It also aims to summarize the tertiary rehabilitation strategy for motor dysfunction in stroke patients, to provide references for all levels of hospitals and communities, achieve standardization and unification of rehabilitation treatment, as well as the rehabilitation efficacy of homogeneity.
Objective To evaluate the performance of i3000 direct chemiluminescence detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen and antibody (Ag/Ab) screening assay (Maccura), compared with E170 electrochemiluminescence method (Roche, Elecsys® HIV Combi PT assay) and IS1200 indirect chemiluminescence method (Maccura). Methods Ten HIV seroconversion panels and 11 p24 antigen positive samples from West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to December 2017 were used to evaluate the sensitivity of those three assays. A total of 351 samples were collected for consistency evaluation, including 350 HIV Ag/Ab test samples (200 HIV-1 positive plasma samples and 150 HIV 1+2 negative plasma samples) from West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to December 2017, and one commercial HIV-2 sera. A total of 98 interfere samples for HIV testing were collected from West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to December 2017. Results In the sensitivity evaluation, there were 63 samples from the 10 seroconversion panels, in which Roche E170 detected 25 samples, Maccura i3000 detected 23 samples, and Maccura IS1200 detected 22 samples; Maccura i3000 and Roche E170 assays detected all the p24 antigen positive samples (11, 100%), while Maccura IS1200 only detected 10 samples. In the consistency evaluation, Maccura i3000 had nice consistency with both Roche E170 and Maccura IS1200 (kappa>0.9, P<0.001). In the interference evaluation, there were two false positives in Maccura i3000 detection, one case of rheumatoid arthritis and one case of syphilis. Conclusion In addition to high throughput and good consistency, Maccura i3000 direct chemiluminescence reagent has high sensitivity and a short window period, which can meet clinical needs.
