Objective To evaluate the effect of a nurse-supported patient self-managed home-based cardiac rehabilitation programme for promoting quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease. Methods 167 eligible patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=83) and a control group(n=84). Patients in the intervention group joined a 12-week nurse-supported patient self-managed cardiac rehabilitation programme that included medication management, angina management, physical exercise, smoking cessation, dietary management, and family support besides the conventional care. Chinese Version SF-36 was used to assess the quality of life. Data collection was conducted at programme entry, programme exit, and three months follow-up. Results On completion of the programme, patients in the intervention group demonstrated significantly better improvements in six SF-36 quality of life domains, including general health, physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, mental health, and vitality. The effect on physical functioning and role-physical maintained at three months follow-up.Conclusions A nurse-supported patient self-managed home-based cardiac rehabilitation intervention has a positive impact on the quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease.
目的：探索指针疗法与功能训练治疗Bell’s面瘫的临床效果。方法：按病人就诊顺序将111例Bell’s面瘫患者分为试验组(57例)和对照组(54例)，试验组采用指针疗法、功能训练、药物、物理治疗；对照组采用针刺疗法、功能训练、药物、物理治疗。两组治疗前、后均采用Portmann简易评分法评价疗效。结果：治疗前评分试验组(2.597±1.678)，对照组(2.907±1.794)，差异无统计学意义(P＞005)，治疗后评分试验组 (18.404±1.374)，对照组 (18.593±1.743) ，差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05)；面肌功能改善指数试验组(0.859±0.090)，对照组(0.844±0.095)，差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05)。结论：指针疗法与针刺疗法治疗Bell’s面瘫疗效比较差异无统计学意义，二者均有明显的康复疗效；而指针疗法更具有操作简便，无疼痛、无创伤、无晕针症也无交叉感染的优势，避免了许多不利因素，使患者有较好的依从性。
Abstract： Objective?To evaluate clinical experiences and long-term outcome of morphologic left ventricle （mLV） retraining for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries （cCTGA）. Methods From May 2005 to May 2011, 24 patients with cCTGA anomaly underwent left ventricle retraining by means of pulmonary artery banding in Fu Wai Hospital. There were 13 males and 11 females with their age of 0.17-22.00 （3.73±4.35） years and body weight of 5.10-61.00（15.71±10.95）kg. Major concomitant malformations included tricuspid valve insufficiency （TR）in 23 patients （mild in 11 patients, moderate in 7 patients, severe in 5 patients）, restrictive ventricular septal defect in 18 patients, atrial septal defect in 5 patients, patent foramen ovale in 5 patients, patent ductus arteriosus in 4 patients, mild pulmonary stenosis in 5 patients, and aortic coarctation in 1 patient. All the patients were preoperatively diagnosed by echocardiography, cardiovascular angiography or cardiac catheterization. The mLV end diastolic diameter （mLVEDD） was 8-32（21.56±6.60）mm, posterior wall thickness of mLV was 2-7 （4.29±1.52）mm , mLV to morphologic right ventricle （mRV） pressure ratio （mLV/mRV） was 0.12-0.65 （0.41±0.12）. Pulmonary artery banding operation was performed through upper partial sternotomy or median sternotomy without circulatory arrest. Results The mLV/mRV pressure ratio reached to 0.57-0.93 （0.76±0.10） under direct pressure monitoring after surgery. There was no in-hospital death in this group. Echocardiography before discharge showed that the structure and function of the two ventricles were good, the interventricular septum moved partially towards mRV, mLVEDD was increased slightly, and there was a tendency of reduced TR. Postoperative follows-up was from 1 to 35 months, and there was no late death during follow-up. All the patients were in good general condition with stable vital signs and New York Heart Association （NYHA） classⅠ-Ⅱ. The mLVEDD was 14-40 （26.17±7.11） mm, posterior wall thickness of mLV was 4-9 （4.95±1.44）mm, mLV/mRV pressure ratio was 0.52-0.98 （0.72±0.16） , and TR was significantly decreased. Fourteen patients successfully underwent staged complete double-switch procedure. Conclusion Left ventricle retraining is a safe and effective method to train mLV for cCTGA patients. Pressure load and posterior wall thickness of mLV are increased, mLV cavity is dilated, and TR is significantly reduced after the surgery.
Objective To investigate the effects of repeated shortischemia training on flap survival area, vascular endothelial growth factor and the microvascularsel density. Methods Seventy-two rabbits were divided into:the experimental group(n=64), the skin flaps were constructed in two sides of back, one side flap were given ischemia training for 15 minutes and 8 times one day at the pedicles from the 1st to 8th day after operation (group A), the other side flap was served as a control (group B), the corresponding site was only marked as a blank control group (group C).Then, 8 pedicles of group A and group Bwere isolated every day. The surviving area of all skin flaps were calculated on the5th day after isolating operation. The vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and microvessel density(MVD) of the 3 groups were checked with immunohistologochemical staining. Results After the operation, all animalswere survival with normal vitality.The survival flap area of group A were significant more than that of group B after 3 days(Plt;0.05).The expressions of VEGF and MVD of group A and group B were higher than group C. The expression of VEGF of group A was significantly higher than that of group B(Plt;0.01). The counting of MVD of group A was also significantly higher than that of group B(Plt;0.05). There was positive correlation between flap survival area and MVD in group A. The relation of time point was n and n 2 respectively,correlation coefficient was 0.850. As well as MVD and VEGF were positive correlation,correlation coefficient was 0.801. Conclusion Early repeated shortischemia training can increase flap survival area, the mechanism maybe involve the increased expression of VEGF, which can increased skin flap microvascular density.
