METHODS Randomized controlled trials comparing psychological interventions(stress management/relaxation therapy(cognitive) behavioral therapy, short-term psychodynamic therapy, and hypnotherapy) for the treatment of adult patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) diagnosed with the Manning or Rome criteria with an adequate placebo control treatment and reporting data on IBS symptom severity were identified by searching Pub Med, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL and Psyc INFO databases. Full-text articles that were written in English and published between 1966 and February 2016 in peer-reviewed journals were selected for the present review. Placebo interventions were considered to be adequate if the number of sessions and the amount of time spent with the therapist were the same as in the active treatment. The placebo response rate(PRR) was computed for IBS symptom severity(primary outcome measure) as well as for anxiety, depression and quality of life(secondary outcome measures). RESULTS Six studies, with a total of 555 patients met the inclusion criteria. Four studies used an educational intervention, whereas two studies used a form of supportive therapy as the placebo intervention. The PRR for IBS symptom severity ranged from 25% to 59%, with a pooled mean of 41.4%. The relative PRR for the secondary outcome measures ranged from 0% to 267% for anxiety, 6% to 52% for depression 20% to 125% for quality of life. The PRR associated with pharmacological treatments, treatment with dietary bran and complementary medicine ranged from 37.5% to 47%. Contrary to our expectations, the PRR in studies on psychological interventions was comparable to that in studies on pharmacological, dietary and alternative medical interventions.CONCLUSION The PRR is probably determined to a larger extent by patient-related factors, such as expectations and desire for the treatment to be effective, than the content of the placebo intervention.展开更多

Methods: Using data from the California Medicaid program, this study generated a series of OLS estimates of the effect of atypical antipsychotic medications on costs and duration of therapy to illustrate the impact of alternative model specifications on treatment effects. The first sequence of estimates consisted of six model specifications, the last of which included variables reflecting the type of episode defined according to prior treatment history and compliance. The second sequences repeated the specification of the first 6 models but were carried out separately by episode type to examine the heterogeneity of treatment effect. The second sequence of models documented the impact of additional drug history variables. Results: Estimates of the impact of atypical antipsychotic use on total costs and duration on initial drug were statistically significant in the first 6 models. Estimates changed significantly when dummy variables indicating prior use of inpatient service and nursing home care were included in the model specification. Estimated effects changed substantially when prior total cost was included in cost analysis, or when prior treatment duration was included in duration analysis. Significant variation also existed in estimated effects across episode types, and it was particularly pronounced before controlling for prior cost/duration. Conclusion: It is important to add prior measures of the outcome variable to control for unobserved bias in retrospective studies. Also, the accuracy and utility of results to clinicians can be improved significantly if analyses are performed by episode type.展开更多

Methods: Fifty-one IGT patients with their diagnosis conformed to the diagnosis standard of WHO, 1999, were randomly divided into the control group (n = 26) and the TCM group (n=25). Patients in the control group attended to the educational course for DM and received dietotherapy and kinetotherapy, and to those in the TCM group, under these treatments, JBR was given additionally. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), body weight index (BWI), levels of blood lipids and fasting insulin of all the patients were examined after 3 months, 6 months and 12 months of treatment. The total observation time was 1 year. Results:Except the 6 cases out of the 51 patients (11.7%), on whom the observa-tion discontinued, in the control group, as compared with before treatment, levels of fasting insulin and fasting blood glucose after treatment were not changed significantly ( P > 0. 05 ) , also insignificant difference was shown in levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG), thoughthe two indexes lowered slightly after treatment (P>0. 05), but significant difference was shown in comparison of OGTT/2h, blood glucose and BWI (P<0. 05). While in the TCM group, fasting blood glucose was changed insignificantly (P> 0. 05) , but there was significant difference in comparison of fasting insulin, TC, BWI, OGTT/2h and plasma glucose levels (P<0. 01) respectively before and after treatment. At the end of the stud-y, the cumulative cases with conversion to diabetes were 3 (13. 6%) in the control group, and 1 (4. 3%) in the TCM group, x2 test showed insignificant difference in comparison of diabetes conversion rate between the two groups (P>0. 05), however, the TCM group showed a better year conversion rate of normal glucose tolerance than that in the control group (x2 = 8. 31, P<0. 01). Conclusion: TCM intervention is possibly effective in delaying the conversion of IGT to DM type 2, and plays integrative effeciency in impelling IGT patients to health. The favorable education and treatment of DM controlling, including dieto- and kineto-therapy may also be advantageous in IGT intervention, but could not be effective in blocking the advance of IGT.Original article on CJITWM (Chin) 2004 ;24 (4): 317展开更多

This disease manifests itself as motor disorder, abnormal attitudinal reflex and muscular tension. Early intervention may improve its prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of intervention treatment from different stages on the prognosis of central coordination disturbance following brain injury in children patients. DESIGN: A contrast observation experiment SETTING: Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation, Urumqi Children's Hospital PARTICIPANTS : Totally 151 children who were diagnosed as central coordination disturbance from January 2002 to December 2003 in the Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation of Urumqi Children's Hospital were recruited. All the children patients, including 101 male and 50 female, aged from 3 months to 1 year old, met the diagnosis criteria of central coordination disturbance from Vojta. They were divided into slight, moderate and severe abnormity according to Vojta attitudinal reflex. All 151 patients were divided into 2 groups according to their age at diagnosis: 3-6 months old group (n=74), 62 severe, 10 moderate and 2 slight; 7-12 months old group (n=77), 66 severe, 7 moderate and 4 slight. All the relatives of children patients were informed of the experiment. METHODS: ① Both groups received physical training (PT) as the main treatment; Hand training was given if necessary. All of the patients received additional hyperbaric oxygen therapy, bioelectric therapy, scalp acupuncture, drug treatment and family training. The importance of integration of hospital and family based rehabilitation was stressed. Those who did not catch up with the normal development or had abnormal reflexes continued to receive treatment. ② Around the age of 2 years old, all children did a final evaluation using Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID). Mental development index (MDI) and physical development index (PDI) were taken as evaluative criteria. Children with scores 80 and above on MDI and PDI were considered to have normal motor and mental development; 79 and below were considered delayers. The Diagnostic Criteria of Cerebral Palsy and Infantecondary School Social Adaptation Scale were used in the final evaluation[scores ≤5 was extremely severe (extremely severe cerebral palsy), 6 was severe(severe cerebral palsy), 7 was moderate(moderate cerebral palsy), 8 was slight(slight cerebral palsy), 9 was borderline(slight cerebral palsy), 10 was normal, 11 was above average, 12 was excellent and ≥13 was extremely excellent]. ③ Final evaluative results of 2 groups were compared. And u test was used for the comparison of Bayley development index and Chi-square test for the comparison of normalization rate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BSID MDI and PDI as well as the normalization rate of motor function and mental behavior of children patients at 2 years old. RESULTS: Totally 151 children patients entered the stage of result analysis. ①Two groups of children patients were given integrated rehabilitation therapy , and evaluated at 2 years old . The 3-6 months old group had higher MDI and PDI than the 7-12 months old group (91.81+19.99 vs 71.93+18.98;91.55+23.61 vs 68.95+23.51, u=6.265,5.894,P 〈 0.01 ).②After being given integrated rehabilitation therapy, children patients of 3-6 months old group had significantly higher normalization rate of motor function and mental behavior than 7-12 months old group (73% ,27%,X2=29.723 9,P 〈 0.01 ). ③Six slight and 17 moderate central coordination disturbance children of 2 groups all completely recovered; After intervention treatment, among 128 severe central coordination disturbance children, 52 recovered and 76 were still abnormal, in which, 43 slight cerebral palsy, 18 moderate cerebral palsy, 5 severe cerebral palsy and 10 extremely severe cerebral palsy. CONCLUSION: To perform integrated intervention treatment before 6 months old can better improve and promote mental and physical development levels of children patients with central coordination disturbance after brain injury than 6 months later.展开更多

Children with scores 80 and above on MDI and PDI were considered to have normal motor and mental development; 79 and below were considered delayers. The Diagnostic Criteria of Cerebral Palsy and Infantecondary School Social Adaptation Scale were used in the final evaluation[scores ≤5 was extremely severe (extremely severe cerebral palsy), 6 was severe(severe cerebral palsy), 7 was moderate(moderate cerebral palsy), 8 was slight(slight cerebral palsy), 9 was borderline(slight cerebral palsy), 10 was normal, 11 was above average, 12 was excellent and ≥13 was extremely excellent]. ③ Final evaluative results of 2 groups were compared. And u test was used for the comparison of Bayley development index and Chi-square test for the comparison of normalization rate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BSID MDI and PDI as well as the normalization rate of motor function and mental behavior of children patients at 2 years old. RESULTS: Totally 151 children patients entered the stage of result analysis. ①Two groups of children patients were given integrated rehabilitation therapy , and evaluated at 2 years old . The 3-6 months old group had higher MDI and PDI than the 7-12 months old group (91.81+19.99 vs 71.93+18.98;91.55+23.61 vs 68.95+23.51, u=6.265,5.894,P 〈 0.01 ).②After being given integrated rehabilitation therapy, children patients of 3-6 months old group had significantly higher normalization rate of motor function and mental behavior than 7-12 months old group (73% ,27%,X2=29.723 9,P 〈 0.01 ). ③Six slight and 17 moderate central coordination disturbance children of 2 groups all completely recovered; After intervention treatment, among 128 severe central coordination disturbance children, 52 recovered and 76 were still abnormal, in which, 43 slight cerebral palsy, 18 moderate cerebral palsy, 5 severe cerebral palsy and 10 extremely severe cerebral palsy. CONCLUSION: To perform integrated intervention treatment before 6 months old can better improve and promote mental and physical development levels of children patients with central coordination disturbance after brain injury than 6 months later.
文摘Objectives:To explore the clinical effect of psychological intervention and nursing during the chemotherapy of gynecological malignant tumor.Methods:120 patients with gynecologic malignancies were selected as subjects.According to the nursing method,these patients were divided into intervention group and control group,with 60 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were given routine care,and the patients in the observation group were given psychological intervention care on the basis of routine nursing.Before and after treatment,the anxiety and depression of the two groups were compared using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and the Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS).The satisfaction and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.The results were statistically analyzed.Results:After nursing intervention,the anxiety and depression scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of nausea,vomiting and fatigue in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the symptoms of diarrhea between the two groups(P>0.05).After the treatment,the satisfaction of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions:During the chemotherapy of gynecological malignant tumor patients,psychological intervention nursing can alleviate the anxiety and depression of patients,improve the complications,and improve the satisfaction of patients.It is worthy of clinical application.
