| 1 | 老年人衰弱综合征的发病机制和评估及管理显示文摘随着全球老龄化和衰老与疾病相关研究的深入,衰弱已经成为现代老年医学研究的热点问题之一。衰弱是一种常见的重要老年综合征,表现为机体的脆弱性增加,维持稳态的能力下降,面对各种应激时,发病和死亡的风险增加。其核心特点是多个生理系统(神经肌肉、代谢及免疫系统等)的储备功能下降。 | 宁晓暄 欧阳敏 Leng Sean X | 2015 | 中华老年医学杂志2015,34,12: | 50 |
| 2 | Portal vein thrombosis, mortality and hepatic decompensation in patients with cirrhosis: A meta-analysis显示文摘AIM: To determine the clinical impact of portal vein thrombosis in terms of both mortality and hepatic decompensations(variceal hemorrhage, ascites, portosystemic encephalopathy) in adult patients with cirrhosis.METHODS: We identified original articles reported through February 2015 in MEDLINE, Scopus, Science Citation Index, AMED, the Cochrane Library, and relevant examples available in the grey literature. Two independent reviewers screened all citations for inclusion criteria and extracted summary data. Random effects odds ratios were calculated to obtain aggregate estimates of effect size across included studies, with 95%CI.RESULTS: A total of 226 citations were identified and reviewed, and 3 studies with 2436 participants were included in the meta-analysis of summary effect. Patients with portal vein thrombosis had an increased risk of mortality(OR = 1.62, 95%CI: 1.11-2.36, P = 0.01). Portal vein thrombosis was associated with an increased risk of ascites(OR = 2.52, 95%CI: 1.63-3.89, P < 0.001). There was insufficient data available to determine the pooled effect on other markers of decompensation including gastroesophageal variceal bleeding or hepatic encephalopathy. CONCLUSION: Portal vein thrombosis appears to increase mortality and ascites, however, the relatively small number of included studies limits more generalizable conclusions. More trials with a direct comparison group are needed. | Jonathan G Stine Puja M Shah Scott L Cornella Sean R Rudnick Marwan S Ghabril George J Stukenborg Patrick G Northup | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,27: | 42 |

| 4 | The PI3K/AKT Pathway and Renal Cell Carcinoma显示文摘The phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)/AKT pathway is genetically targeted in more pathway components and in more tumor types than any other growth factor signaling pathway,and thus is frequently activated as a cancer driver.More importantly,the PI3K/AKT pathway is composed of multiple bifurcating and converging kinase cascades,providing many potential targets for cancer therapy.Renal cell carcinoma(RCC) is a high-risk and high-mortality cancer that is notoriously resistant to traditional chemotherapies or radiotherapies.The PI3K/AKT pathway is modestly mutated but highly activated in RCC,representing a promising drug target.Indeed,PI3 K pathway inhibitors of the rapalog family are approved for use in RCC.Recent large-scale integrated analyses of a large number of patients have provided a molecular basis for RCC,reiterating the critical role of the PI3K/AKT pathway in this cancer.In this review,we summarize the genetic alterations of the PI3K/AKT pathway in RCC as indicated in the latest large-scale genome sequencing data,as well as treatments for RCC that target the aberrant activated PI3K/AKT pathway. | Huifang Guo Peter German Shanshan Bai Sean Barnes Wei Guo Xiangjie Qi Hongxiang Lou Jiyong Liang Eric Jonasch Gordon B.Mills Zhiyong Ding | 2015 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2015,42,7: | 39 |

| 6 | 成都市大学生男男性行为人群艾滋病性病高危行为现状调查显示文摘[目的]了解成都市大学生男男性行为(MSM)人群性行为现状,为制定高危人群防治策略提供依据。[方法]采取'网络调查'和传统'滚雪球'调查相结合的方法对成都市大学生MSM人群性行为进行调查,所有数据使用SPSS13.0进行分析。[结果]回收有效问卷共617份。调查对象平均年龄(21.51±2.27)岁。62.4%的受访者自我认同为同性恋,28.8%的受访者自我认同为双性恋。89.5%的受访者认为同性恋是正常性行为,21.5%的受访者认为自己以后不会与异性结婚,有21.4%的受访者已经与异性发生过性行为。41.8%的受访者近1个月与固定性伴每次肛交都使用安全套,62.9%的受访者与固定性伴最近1次肛交时使用了安全套;56.7%的受访者近1个月与非固定性伴每次肛交都使用安全套,25.1%受访者与非固定性伴最近1次肛交时未使用安全套。艾滋病性病知识来源于综合网站和同志网站分别是59.8%和42.5%,来源于朋友和同志工作组分别为24.5%和15.4%。[结论]高危行为在大学生MSM群体中存在,该群体大多数同志并未意识到所面临的HIV及性病威胁。未来的干预应重点增加对大学生男同性恋群体自我认同及心理支持的关注,有针对性的开发安全套推广策略以及创新性的动员大学生同志开展与其环境和群体文化相适应的干预活动形式。 | 邓斌 江华 王文渊 Charles Damien Lu Sean Robert Dickson 赖文红 杨浩 刘毅 | 2010 | 现代预防医学2010,37,8: | 29 |
| 7 | Epidemiology, causes, clinical manifestation and diagnosis, prevention and control of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) during the early outbreak period: a scoping review显示文摘Background:The coronavirus disease(COVID-19)has been identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness in Wuhan,Hubei Province,China beginning in December 2019.As of 31 January 2020,this epidemic had spread to 19 countries with 11791 confirmed cases,including 213 deaths.The World Health Organization has declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.Methods:A scoping review was conducted following the methodological framework suggested by Arksey and O'Malley.In this scoping review,65 research articles published before 31 January 2020 were analyzed and discussed to better understand the epidemiology,causes,clinical diagnosis,prevention and control of this virus.The research domains,dates of publication,journal language,authors'affiliations,and methodological characteristics were included in the analysis.All the findings and statements in this review regarding the outbreak are based on published information as listed in the references.Results:Most of the publications were written using the English language(89.2%).The largest proportion of published articles were related to causes(38.5%)and a majority(67.7%)were published by Chinese scholars.Research articles initially focused on causes,but over time there was an increase of the articles related to prevention and control.Studies thus far have shown that the virus7 origination is in connection to a seafood market in Wuhan,but specific animal associations have not been confirmed.Reported symptoms include fever,cough,fatigue,pneumonia,headache,diarrhea,hemoptysis,and dyspnea.Preventive measures such as masks,hand hygiene practices,avoidance of public contact,case detection,contact tracing,and quarantines have been discussed as ways to reduce transmission.To date,no specific antiviral treatment has proven effective;hence,infected people primarily rely on symptomatic treatment and supportive care.Conclusions:There has been a rapid surge in research in response to the outbreak of COVID-19.During this early period,published research primarily explored the epidemiology,causes,clinical manifestation and diagnosis,as well as prevention and control of the novel coronavirus.Although these studies are relevant to control the current public emergency,more high-quality research is needed to provide valid and reliable ways to manage this kind of public health emergency in both the short-and long-term. | Sasmita Poudel Adhikari Sha Meng Yu-Ju Wu Yu-Ping Mao Rui-Xue Ye Qing-Zhi Wang Chang Sun Sean Sylvia Scott Rozelle Hein Raat Huan Zhou | 2020 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2020,9,2: | 28 |
| 8 | 改善2型糖尿病患者的生活质量--快乐生活俱乐部^(TM_注)项目报告(六)显示文摘背景和目的糖尿病明显地影响病人的心理健康,而心理问题又反过来影响病人参与治疗和自我管理的能力。快乐生活俱乐部的健康教练采用动机谈话和心理学技术,帮助病人改变行为,更好地管理慢性病。本项目采用凯斯勒心理忧虑量表(Kessler psychological d istress scale,K10)评价干预对参加者心理健康的影响。方法将100名55岁及以上的糖尿病患者随机分为动机谈话组(干预组)和对照组,10名社区卫生工作者接受健康心理学专家培训,为干预组提供动机谈话服务。干预组和对照组都接受常规的糖尿病管理。在干预实施前、实施后6个月和12个月时以问卷调查方式收集数据。计算K10每个指标的平均值,并按照低、中、高、很高对K10总分进行心理问题严重程度的分析。将K10总分≥16确定为焦虑或抑郁风险较高,K10总分≥30确定为心理疾病筛选阳性,比较干预前后两组间的差异。结果 (1)干预1~6个月时,干预组10个指标中有6个明显下降,差异有统计学意义。干预7~12个月时,这6个指标中有5个继续下降,另外还有2个指标开始下降。(2)干预1~6个月时,两组较高焦虑或抑郁风险的比例都明显下降,7~12个月时未呈继续下降。(3)基线时,心理疾病筛选阳性(K10分值30~50)率为6%,高于中国和澳大利亚以往调查的结果。该率在干预6个月后明显下降。结论项目干预对改善糖尿病患者非特异性心理抑郁产生积极影响。建议今后的卫生调查和干预研究中,开展对K10的心理测量学研究。建议该项目的干预组和对照组分别设置在不同的社区卫生服务中心,并增加观察样本量,以更好地评估动机谈话等心理学技术的干预效果。 | Colette Browning Shane Thomas 杨辉 Anna Chapman Sean Cowlishaw 李志新 张拓红 | 2011 | 中国全科医学2011,14,19: | 21 |

| 18 | 中国农村医生医疗服务质量的测量——基于标准化病人法的实验研究显示文摘过去十年中,中国政府在农村地区进行了一系列的医疗改革,这些改革极大地提高了医疗服务的可及性,但却很少关注医疗服务的质量。本文采用标准化病人法,测量和评估中国农村基层医疗服务的质量。我们招募样本地区的农民作为'标准化病人',培训他们稳定地展示小儿痢疾和心绞痛这两种常见疾病的症状。基于标准化病人在村卫生室的就诊案例,我们发现作为基层医疗服务第一线的村医可能无法给患者提供高质量的医疗服务。村医在诊断过程中仅完成了18%的建议问诊条目,诊断正确率仅为26%;在所有开具处方的病例中,有64%的药物是不必要的,甚至是有害的。进一步分析表明,医疗服务质量与医生的受教育水平和是否获得医疗资格证书密切相关。此外,我们发现农民患者并不能很好地识别出哪些医生是相对好的医生,这样的医患信息不对称的情况可能使村医更加缺乏提高医疗服务质量的激励。研究结果建议政府在投资硬件改善基层医疗服务设施的同时,应更加注重提高农村医生的诊断和治疗水平。 | 史耀疆 薛浩 王欢 Sean Sylvia Alexis Medina Scott Rozelle | 2016 | 劳动经济研究2016,4,2: | 10 |
| 19 | Prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating cap-assisted colonoscopy vs standard colonoscopy显示文摘AIM: To study the significance of cap-fitted colonoscopy in improving cecal intubation time and polyp detection rate. METHODS: This study was a prospective randomized controlled trial conducted from March 2008 to February 2009 in a tertiary referral hospital at Sydney. The primary end point was cecal intubation time and the secondary endpoint was polyp detection rate. Consecutive cases of total colonoscopy over a 1-year period were recruited. Randomization into either standard colonoscopy (SC) or cap-assisted colonoscopy (CAC) was performed after consent was obtained. For cases randomized to CAC, one of the three sizes of cap was used: D-201-15004 (with a diameter of 15.3 mm), D-201-14304 (14.6 mm) and D-201-12704 (13.0 mm). All of these caps were produced by Olympus Medical Systems, Japan. Independent predictors for faster cecal time and better polyp detection rate were also determined from this study. RESULTS: There were 200 cases in each group. There was no signif icant difference in terms of demographic characteristics between the two groups. CAC, when compared to the SC group, had no signif icant difference in terms of cecal intubation rate (96.0% vs 97.0%, P = 0.40) and time (9.94 ± 7.05 min vs 10.34 ± 6.82 min, P = 0.21), or polyp detection rate (32.8% vs 31.3%, P = 0.75). On the subgroup analysis, there was no significant difference in terms of cecal intubation time by trainees (88.1% vs 84.8%, P = 0.40), ileal intubation rate (82.5% vs 79.0%, P = 0.38) or total colonoscopy time (23.24 ± 13.95 min vs 22.56 ± 9.94 min, P = 0.88). On multivariate analysis, the independent determinants of faster cecal time were consultant-performed procedures (P < 0.001), male patients (P < 0.001), non-usage of hyoscine (P < 0.001) and better bowel preparation (P = 0.01). The determinants of better polyp detection rate were older age (P < 0.001), no history of previous abdominal surgery (P = 0.04), patients not having esophagogastroduodenoscopy in the same setting (P = 0.003), trainee-performed procedures (P = 0.01), usage of hyoscine (P = 0.01) and procedures performed for polyp follow-up (P = 0.01). The limitations of the study were that it was a single-center experience, no blinding was possible, and there were a large number of endoscopists. CONCLUSION: CAC did not signif icantly different from SC in term of cecal intubation time and polyp detection rate. | Hoi-Poh Tee Crispin Corte Hamdan Al-Ghamdi Emilia Prakoso John Darke Raman Chettiar Wassim Rahman Scott Davison Sean P Griffin Warwick S Selby Arthur J Kaffes | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,31: | 10 |
| 20 | Defining the advantages and exposing the limitations of endoscopic variceal ligation in controlling acute bleeding and achieving complete variceal eradication显示文摘BACKGROUND Bleeding esophageal varices(BEV)is a potentially life-threatening complication in patients with portal hypertension with mortality rates as high as 25%within six weeks of the index variceal bleed.After control of the initial bleeding episode patients should enter a long-term surveillance program with endoscopic intervention combined with non-selectiveβ-blockers to prevent further bleeding and eradicate EV.AIM To assess the efficacy of endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL)in controlling acute variceal bleeding,preventing variceal recurrence and rebleeding and achieving complete eradication of esophageal varices(EV)in patients who present with BEV.METHODS A prospectively documented single-center database was used to retrospectively identify all patients with BEV who were treated with EVL between 2000 and 2018.Control of acute bleeding,variceal recurrence,rebleeding,eradication and survival were analyzed using Baveno assessment criteria.RESULTS One hundred and forty patients(100 men,40 women;mean age 50 years;range,21-84 years;Child-Pugh grade A=32;B=48;C=60)underwent 160 emergency and 298 elective EVL interventions during a total of 928 endoscopy sessions.One hundred and fourteen(81%)of the 140 patients had variceal bleeding that was effectively controlled during the index banding procedure and never bled again from EV,while 26(19%)patients had complicated and refractory variceal bleeding.EVL controlled the acute sentinel variceal bleed during the first endoscopic intervention in 134 of 140 patients(95.7%).Six patients required balloon tamponade for control and 4 other patients rebled in hospital.Overall 5-d endoscopic failure to control variceal bleeding was 7.1%(n=10)and four patients required a salvage transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.Index admission mortality was 14.2%(n=20).EV were completely eradicated in 50 of 111 patients(45%)who survived>3 mo of whom 31 recurred and 3 rebled.Sixteen(13.3%)of 120 surviving patients subsequently had 21 EV rebleeding episodes and 10 patients bled from other sources after discharge from hospital.Overall rebleeding from all sources after 2 years was 21.7%(n=26).Sixty-nine(49.3%)of the 140 patients died,mainly due to liver failure(n=46)during follow-up.Cumulative survival for the 140 patients was 71.4%at 1 year,65%at 3 years,60%at 5 years and 52.1%at 10 years.CONCLUSION EVL was highly effective in controlling the sentinel variceal bleed with an overall 5-day failure to control bleeding of 7.1%.Although repeated EVL achieved complete variceal eradication in less than half of patients with BEV,of whom 62%recurred,there was a significant reduction in subsequent rebleeding. | Jake Krige Eduard Jonas Urda Kotze Christo Kloppers Karan Gandhi Hisham Allam Marc Bernon Sean Burmeister Mashiko Setshedi | 2020 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2020,12,10: | 10 |
