1影响慢性阻塞性肺病急性加重患者生活质量的危险因素显示文摘目的测定和评价慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)急性加重患者的生活质量和潜在危险因素的发生率及其影响。方法研究两家大型医院因COPD急性加重入院的196个中重度COPD患者。在患者出院时和出院后1月稳定状态,测量肺功能指标、精神状态及用圣乔治呼吸问卷测定生活质量,并收集了患者的临床性状、社会性状和照料因素。结果196例患者中,吸烟、抑郁及嗜用镇痛剂、安眠药相当普遍,而完成肺康复、接种流感病毒疫苗和肺炎球菌疫苗以及看护支持却很少。生活质量的症状域均值为55.9,活动域均值为65,影响域均值为32.9,总体均值为46.5。多变量分析显示慢性黏液高分泌症、男性、抑郁、前1年多次入院和治疗依顺性差与症状域值低下独立显著相关;前1年多次入院、抑郁、严重气促和72岁以上老年与活动域值低下独立显著相关;抑郁、前1年多次入院、严重气促、病程长和重度吸烟与影响域值低下独立显著相关;抑郁、前1年多次入院、严重气促和病程长与总体数值低下独立显著相关(P<0.05)。结论COPD急性加重患者的生活质量低下与COPD严重程度、患者精神抑郁状态及照料这些可改善因素有关。曹振英 Tan Wan Cheng Ng Tze Pin 2005上海第二医科大学学报2005,25,7:10
2A Frisch-Newton Algorithm for Sparse Quantile Regression显示文摘Recent experience has shown that interior-point methods using a log barrier approach are far superior to classical simplex methods for computing solutions to large parametric quantile regression problems.In many large empirical applications, the design matrix has a very sparse structure. A typical example is the classical fixed-effect model for panel data where the parametric dimension of the model can be quite large, but the number of non-zero elements is quite small. Adopting recent developments in sparse linear algebra we introduce a modified version of the Frisch-Newton algorithm for quantile regression described in Portnoy and Koenker[28]. The new algorithm substantially reduces the storage (memory) requirements and increases computational speed. The modified algorithm also facilitates the development of nonparametric quantile regression methods. The pseudo design matrices employed in nonparametric quantile regression smoothing are inherently sparse in both the fidelity and roughness penalty components. Exploiting the sparse structure of these problems opens up a whole range of new possibilities for multivariate smoothing on large data sets via ANOVA-type decomposition and partial linear models.Roger Koenker Pin Ng 2005Acta Mathematicae Applicatae Sinica2005,21,2:7
3Gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis-a retrospective review显示文摘AIM To characterize patients with gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis(PC) and their typical clinical and treatment course with palliative systemic chemotherapy as the current standard of care.METHODS We performed a retrospective electronic chart review of all patients with gastric adenocarcinoma with PC diagnosed at initial metastatic presentation between January 2010 and December 2014 in a single tertiary referral centre.RESULTS We studied a total of 271 patients with a median age of 63.8 years and median follow-up duration of 5.1 mo. The majority(n = 217, 80.1%) had the peritoneum as the only site of metastasis at initial presentation. Palliative systemic chemotherapy was eventually planned for 175(64.6%) of our patients at initial presentation, of which 171 were initiated on it. Choice of first-line regime was in accordance with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines for Gastric Cancer Treatment. Thesepatients underwent a median of one line of chemotherapy, completing a median of six cycles in total. Chemotherapy disruption due to unplanned hospitalizations occurred in 114(66.7%), while cessation of chemotherapy occurred in 157(91.8%), with 42 cessations primarily attributable to PC-related complications. Patients who had initiation of systemic chemotherapy had a significantly better median overall survival than those who did not(10.9 mo vs 1.6 mo, P < 0.001). Of patients who had initiation of systemic chemotherapy, those who experienced any disruptions to chemotherapy due to unplanned hospitalizations had a significantly worse median overall survival compared to those who did not(8.7 mo vs 14.6 mo, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION Gastric PC carries a grim prognosis with a clinical course fraught with disease-related complications which may attenuate any survival benefit which palliative systemic chemotherapy may have to offer. As such, investigational use of regional therapies is warranted and required validation in patients with isolated PC to maximize their survival outcomes in the long run.Hwee Leong Tan Claramae Shulyn Chia Grace Hwei Ching Tan Su Pin Choo David Wai-Meng Tai Clarinda Wei Ling Chua Matthew Chau Hsien Ng Khee Chee Soo Melissa Ching Ching Teo 2017World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2017,9,3:6
4Prehospital system delay in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in Singapore显示文摘BACKGROUND: Timely reperfusion in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)improves outcomes. System delay is that between first medical contact and reperfusion therapy,comprising prehospital and hospital components. This study aimed to characterize prehospital system delay in Singapore.METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed for 462 consecutive STEMI patients presenting to a tertiary hospital from December 2006 to April 2008. Patients with cardiac arrest secondarily presented were excluded. For those who received emergency medical services(EMS),ambulance records were reviewed. Time intervals in the hospital were collected prospectively. The patients were divided into two equal groups of high/low prehospital system delay using visual binning technique.RESULTS: Of 462 patients, 76 received EMS and 52 of the 76 patients were analyzed. The median system delay was 125.5 minutes and the median prehospital system delay was 33.5minutes(interquartile range [IQR]=27.0, 42.0). Delay between call-received-by-ambulance and ambulance-dispatched was 2.48 minutes(IQR=1.47, 16.55); between ambulance-dispatch and arrival-at-patient-location was 8.07 minutes(IQR=1.30, 22.13); between arrival-at- and departurefrom-patient-location was 13.12 minutes(IQR=3.12, 32.2); and between leaving-patient-location to ED-registration was 9.90 minutes(IQR=1.62, 32.92). Comparing patients with prehospital system delay of less than 35.5 minutes versus more showed that the median delay between ambulancedispatch and arrival-at-patient-location was shorter(5.75 vs. 9.37 minutes, P<0.01). The median delay between arrival-at-patient-location and leaving-patient-location was also shorter(10.78 vs.14.37 minutes, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Prehospital system delay in our patients was suboptimal. This is the first attempt at characterizing prehospital system delay in Singapore and forms the basis for improving efficiency of STEMI care.Andrew Fu Wah Ho Pin Pin Pek Stephanie Fook-Chong Ting Hway Wong Yih Yng Ng Aaron Sung Lung Wong Marcus Eng Hock Ong 2015World Journal of Emergency Medicine2015,6,4:6
5慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重患者频繁再入院与其危险因素显示文摘目的 评价慢性阻塞性肺疾病 (COPD)患者急性加重频繁入院的危险因素。方法 调查两家大型医院因COPD急性加重入院的 196名中重度COPD患者。在患者出院时和出院后一个月稳定状态 ,收集患者的临床性状、社会性状、日常护理因素和过去一年中急性加重入院的频率 ,测定肺功能指标及精神状态。结果 196例COPD患者中 ,72 %过去一年中有一次以上再入院 ,4 8%有 2次以上 ,8%有超过 10次再入院。单变量分析显示男性、病程长、嗜用镇痛剂和安眠药、第 1秒用力呼气容量占预计值的百分比 (FEV1% ) <4 5 %、缺乏肺康复训练和严重气促与频繁再入院有显著相关性 (P <0 .0 5 )。多变量分析显示病程长 (OR =2 .6 0 )、FEV1% <4 5 % (OR =2 .0 3)、严重气促 (OR =2 .5 0 )和男性 (OR =3.13)与COPD急性加重再入院有独立显著相关性 (P <0 .0 5 )。结论 COPD急性加重频繁再入院与COPD严重程度。曹振英 Tan Wan Cheng Ng Tze Pin 2005中国临床保健杂志2005,8,1:5
6Cerebrospinal fluid phosphorylated tau,visinin-like protein-1,and chitinase-3-like protein 1 in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease显示文摘Background:Visinin-like protein-1(VILIP-1)and chitinase-3-like protein 1(CHI3L1 or YKL-40)in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)are newly discovered markers indicating neuronal damage and microglial activation,respectively.Phosphorylated tau(p-tau)reflects the neuropathology of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and is useful as diagnostic markers for AD.However,it is unknown whether these biomarkers have similar or complementary information in AD.Methods:We stratified 121 participants from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative(ADNI)database into cognitively normal(CN),stable mild cognitive impairment(sMCI),progressive MCI(pMCI),and dementia due to AD.Analysis of covariance(ANOVA)and chi-square analyses,Spearman correlation,and logistic regression models were performed to test the demographic,associations between biomarkers,and diagnostic accuracies,respectively.Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the effects of CSF amyloid-β(Aβ)on above biomarkers within diagnostic groups,the combination of diagnostic group and Aβstatus as predictor,and CSF biomarkers as predictors of AD features,including cognition measured by Mini–Mental State Examination(MMSE)and brain structure and white matter hyperintensity(WMH)measured by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).Results:P-tau,VILIP-1,and YKL-40 were all predictors of AD diagnosis,but combinations of biomarkers did not improve the diagnostic accuracy(AUC 0.924 for p-tau,VILIP-1,and YKL-40)compared to p-tau(AUC 0.922).P-tau and VILIP-1 were highly correlated(r=0.639,p<0.001)and strongly associated with Aβpathology across clinical stages of AD,while YKL-40 was correlated with Aβpathology in CN and AD groups.VILIP-1 was associated with acceleration of cognitive decline,hippocampal atrophy,and expansion of ventricles in longitudinal analyses.YKL-40 was associated with hippocampal atrophy at baseline and follow-up,while p-tau was only associated with worsening WMH at baseline.Conclusions:CSF levels of p-tau,VILIP-1,and YKL-40 may have utility for discriminating between cognitively normal subjects and patients with AD.Increased levels of both VILIP-1 and YKL-40 may be associated with disease degeneration.These CSF biomarkers should be considered for future assessment in the characterization of the natural history of AD.Hua Zhang Kok Pin Ng Joseph Therriault Min Su Kang Tharick APascoal Pedro Rosa-Neto Serge Gauthier the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 2018Translational Neurodegeneration2018,7,1:5
7Amyloid and tau positive mild cognitive impairment:clinical and biomarker characteristics of dementia progression显示文摘Background:According to the amyloid,tau,neurodegeneration research framework classification,amyloid and tau positive(A+T+)mild cognitive impairment(MCI)individuals are defined as prodromal Alzheimer disease.This study was designed to compare the clinical and biomarker features between A+T+MCI individuals who progressed to progressive MCI(pMCI)and those who remained stable MCI(sMCI),and to identify relevant baseline clinical biomarker and features that could be used to predict progression to dementia within 2 years.Methods:We stratified 197 A+T+MCI individuals into pMCI(n=64)and sMCI(n=133)over 2 years.Demographics and cognitive assessment scores,cerebrospinal fluid(CSF),and neuroimaging biomarkers(18F-florbetapir positron emission tomography mean standardized uptake value ratios[SUVR]and structural magnetic resonance imaging[MRI])were compared between pMCI and sMCI at baseline,12-and 24-month follow-up.Logistic regression models then were used to evaluate clinical baseline and biomarker features that predicted dementia progression in A+T+MCI.Results:pMCI individuals had higher mean 18F-florbetapir SUVR,CSF total-tau(t-tau),and p-tau181P than those in sMCI individuals.pMCI individuals performed poorer in cognitive assessments,both global and domain specific(memory,executive,language,attention,and visuospatial skills)than sMCI.At baseline,there were significant differences in regions of interest of structural MRI between the two groups,including bilateral amygdala,hippocampus and entorhinal,bilateral inferior lateral ventricle,left superior and middle temporal,left posterior and caudal anterior cingulate(P<0.05).Baseline CSF t-tau levels and cognitive scores of Montreal cognitive assessment,functional assessment questionnaire,and everyday cognition by the patient’s study partner language domain could predict progression to dementia in A+T+MCI within 2 years.Conclusions:In future clinical trials,specific CSF and cognitive measures that predict dementia progression in A+T+MCI might be useful risk factors for assessing the risk of dementia progression.Hong-Chun Wei Bing Li Kok Pin Ng Qing-Xi Fu Sheng-Jie Dong Mao-Wen Ba Min Kong 2021Chinese Medical Journal2021,,14:3
8Associations of AT(N) biomarkers with neuropsychiatric symptoms in prechnical Alzheimer’s disease and cognitively unimpaired individuals显示文摘The development of in vivo biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease(AD)has advanced the diagnosis of AD from a clinical syndrome to a biological construct.The preclinical stage of AD continuum is defined by the identification of AD biomarkers crossing the pathological threshold in cognitively unimpaired individuals.While neuropsychiatric symptoms(NPS)are non-cognitive symptoms that are increasingly recognized as early manifestations of AD,the associations of NPS with AD pathophysiology in preclinical AD remain unclear.Here,we review the associations between NPS and AD biomarkers amyloid-(3(Aβ),tau and neurodegeneration in preclinical AD and cognitivelyunimpaired individuals in 19 eligible English-language publications(8 cross-sectional studies,10 longitudinal,1 both cross-sectional and longitudinal).The cross-sectional studies have consistently shown that NPS,particularly depressive and anxiety symptoms,are associated with higher Aβ.The longitudinal studies have suggested that greater NPS are associated with higher Aβ and cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired subjects over time.However,most of the studies have either cross-sectionally or longitudinally shown no association between NPS and tau pathology.For the association of NPS and neurodegeneration,two studies have shown that the cerebrospinal fluid total-tau is linked to longitudinal increase in NPS and that the NPS may predict longitudinal metabolic decline in preclinical AD,respectively.However,evidence for the association between atrophy and NPS in preclinical AD is less consistent.Therefore,future longitudinal studies with well-designed methodologies and NPS measurements are required not only to determine the relationship among AT(N)biomarkers,NPS and cognitive decline,but also to elucidate the contribution of comorbid pathology to preclinical AD.Kok Pin Ng Hui Chiew Pedro Rosa-Neto Nagaendran Kandiah Zahinoor Ismail Serge Gauthier 2021Translational Neurodegeneration2021,10,1:2

11蒌叶提取物增强5-氟尿嘧啶对结肠癌细胞HT29和HCT116的生长抑制作用(英文)显示文摘研究目的:探讨蒌叶(PB)提取物对5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)抑制结肠癌细胞HT29和HCT116生长的影响。研究方法:HT29和HCT116细胞分别给予PB、5-FU以及两种药物联合治疗24小时,应用等效线图法分析PB和5-FU的药效学相互作用,Annexin V/PI染色法检测HT29和HCT116细胞的凋亡情况,高效液相色谱法排除PB和5-FU间任何可能的相互化学作用。重要结论:联合PB,低剂量5-FU可以在短时间内起到细胞毒作用,而单独应用PB或5-FU治疗较联合治疗可以诱导更多细胞发生凋亡。进一步采用等效线图法分析显示PB和5-FU的联合作用在抑制结肠癌细胞HT29和HCT116的生长中分别体现出协同和拮抗作用。因此可以认为在HT29细胞中,PB使得较低剂量5-FU发挥最大抑制结肠癌细胞生长效果,然而在HCT116细胞中,PB没有显著降低5-FU的药物浓度,说明PB和5-FU的相互作用不仅仅体现在诱导细胞凋亡方面。Pek Leng NG Nor Fadilah RAJAB Sue Mian THEN Yasmin Anum MOHD YUSOF Wan Zurinah WAN NGAH Kar Yong PIN Mee Lee LOOI 2014Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2014,15,8:1

17A Class Effect Network Meta-analysis of Lipid Modulation in Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis for Dyslipidemia显示文摘Background and Aims:Pharmaceutical therapy for NASH is associated with lipid modulation,but the consensus on drug treatment is limited and lacks comparative analysis of effectiveness.A network meta-analysis was conducted to compare NASH drug classes in lipid modulation.Methods:Online databases were searched for randomized controlled trails(RCTs)evaluating NASH treatments in biopsy-proven NASH patients.Treatments were classified into four groups:(1)inflammation,(2)energy,(3)bile acids,and(4)fibro-sis based on the mechanism of action.A Bayesian network analysis was conducted with outcome measured by mean difference(MD)with credible intervals(Crl)and surface un-der the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA).Results:Forty-four RCTs were included in the analysis.Bile acid modulat-ing treatments(MD:0.05,Crl:0.03-0.07)were the best treatment for improvement in high-density lipid(HDL)cho-lesterol,followed by treatments modulating energy(MD:0.03,Crl:0.02-0.04)and fibrosis(MD:0.01,Crl:−0.12 to 0.14)compared with placebo.The top three treatments for reduction in triglycerides were treatments modulating energy(MD:−0.46,Crl:−0.49 to−0.43),bile acids(MD:−0.22,Crl:−0.35 to−0.09),and inflammation(MD:−0.08,Crl:−0.13 to−0.03)compared with placebo.SUCRA found treatment modulating fibrosis(MD:−1.27,Crl:−1.76 to−0.79)was the best treatment for reduction in low-density lipid(LDL)cholesterol followed by treatment modulating in-flammation(MD:−1.03,Crl:−1.09 to−0.97)and energy(MD:−0.37,Crl:−0.39 to−0.34)compared with placebo,but LDL cholesterol was worsened by treatments modulat-ing bile acids.Conclusions:Network analysis comparing the class effects of dyslipidemia modulation in NASH found that treatment targets can include optimization of athero-genic dyslipidemia.Future studies are required to evaluate the cardiovascular outcomes.Jieling Xiao Cheng-Han Ng Yip-Han Chin Darren Jun Hao Tan Wen-Hui Lim Grace Lim Jingxuan Quek Ansel Shao Pin Tang Kai-En Chan Rou-Yi Soong Nicholas Chew Benjamin Tay Daniel Q.Huang Nobuharu Tamaki Roger Foo Mark Y.Chan Mazen Noureddin Mohammad Shadab Siddiqui Arun J.Sanyaland Mark D.Muthiah 2022Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2022,10,6:0
18Neuropsychiatric symptoms are early indicators of an upcoming metabolic decline in Alzheimer's disease显示文摘Background:Neuropsychiatric symptoms(NPS)are increasingly recognized as early non-cognitive manifestations in the Alzheimer's disease(AD)continuum.However,the role of NPS as an early marker of pathophysiological progression in AD remains unclear.Dominantly inherited AD(DIAD)mutation carriers are young individuals who are destined to develop AD in future due to the full penetrance of the genetic mutation.Hence,the study of DIAD mutation carriers enables the evaluation of the associations between pure AD pathophysiology and metabolic correlates of NPS without the confounding effects of co-existing pathologies.In this longitudinal study,we aimed to identify regional brain metabolic dysfunctions associated with NPS in cognitively intact DIAD mutation carriers.Methods:We stratified 221 cognitively intact participants from the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network according to their mutation carrier status.The interactions of NPS measured by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire(NPI-Q),age,and estimated years to symptom onset(EYO)as a function of metabolism measured by[^(18)F]flurodeoxyglucose([^(18)F]FDG)positron emission tomography,were evaluated by the mixed-effects regression model with family-level random effects in DIAD mutation carriers and non-carriers.Exploratory factor analysis was performed to identify the neuropsychiatric subsyndromes in DIAD mutation carriers using the NPI-Q subcomponents.Then the effects of interactions between specific neuropsychiatric subsyndromes and EYO on metabolism were evaluated with the mixed-effects regression model.Results:A total of 119 mutation carriers and 102 non-carriers were studied.The interaction of higher NPI-Q and shorter EYO was associated with more rapid declines of global and regional[18F]FDG uptake in the posterior cingulate and ventromedial prefrontal cortices,the bilateral parietal lobes and the right insula in DIAD mutation carriers.The neuropsychiatric subsyndromes of agitation,disinhibition,irritability and depression interacted with the EYO to drive the[^(18)F]FDG uptake decline in the DIAD mutation carriers.The interaction of NPI and EYO was not associated with[^(18)F]FDG uptake in DIAD mutation non-carriers.Conclusions:The NPS in cognitively intact DIAD mutation carriers may be a clinical indicator of subsequent metabolic decline in brain networks vulnerable to AD,which supports the emerging conceptual framework that NPS represent early manifestations of neuronal injury in AD.Further studies using different methodological approaches to identify NPS in predinical AD are needed to validate our findings.Kok Pin Ng Tharick A.Pascoal Sulantha Mathotaarachchi Yiong Huak Chan Lai Jiang Joseph Therriault Andrea L.Benedet Monica Shin Nagaendran Kandiah Celia M.T.Greenwood Pedro Rosa-Neto Serge Gauthier Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network 2021Translational Neurodegeneration2021,10,1:0
19FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH QUALITY OF LIFE IN ACUTE EXACERBATION OF COPD显示文摘Objective To measure the QOL in patients with AECOPD and the frequency of potential risk factors, and to evaluate the association of risk factors with poor QOL in patients with AECOPD. Methods A study sample of 196 patients with moderate to severe COPD admitted for acute exacerbations to two large general hospitals were studied. The St George QOL (SGQOL) scale, socio-demographic, clinical and patient care characteristics, including depression and spirometry were ascertained in the stable state before discharge and at one-month post discharge. Results There was a high prevalence of current or ex-heavy smokers, depression and consumption of psychotropic drugs, and low prevalence of care giver support, pulmonary rehabilitation and vaccination. The mean scores for the different domains were 55.9 for Symptoms; 65.1 for Activity; 32.9 for Impact; and the mean of overall Total scores was 46.5. Multiple regression analysis showed that CMH, male, depression, previous frequent hospital readmissions and poor therapy compliance were independently related to worse Symptoms Scores. Previous frequent readmissions, depression, severe dyspnea and older age (>72 years) were related to worse Activity Scores of SGQOL. Depression, previous frequent readmissions, severe dyspnea, long COPD duration(≥5years) and severe smoking were related to worse Impact Scores of SGQOL. Depression, previous frequent readmissions, severe dyspnea and long COPD duration(≥5years) were independently related to worse Total Scores of SGQOL. Conclusion Poor QOL in patients with COPD exacerbation was associated with disease severity, psychosocial and health care factors which are modifiable.曹振英 Ng Tze Pin 2005Journal of Shanghai Second Medical University(Foreign Language Edition)2005,17,2:0
