“…There was also no significant difference in the exocrine function of the pancreas between the MID and ON groups of patients. Several studies verified the validity and reliability of the SF-36 questionnaire for the evaluation of QoL (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). The physical functioning aspect of the QoL questionnaire was improved during the first year of recovery from the acute necrotizing pancreatitis (36).…”

The present study aimed to determine whether a difference in pancreatic function and quality of life (QoL) is present between patients with infected pancreatitis necrosis (IPN) undergoing open necrosectomy (ON) and minimally invasive drainage (MID). The medical records of patients with IPN discharged from Jinling Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Pancreatic function and QoL were compared between patients treated with ON and MID. Pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function were assessed using the oral glucose tolerance test and fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) test, respectively. The standard Short Form 36 health questionnaire was used to evaluate the QoL of patients. The analysis included 101 patients who underwent either ON (n=40, 39.6%) or MID (n=61, 60.4%). There were no significant differences in exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function between the two groups evaluated based on FE-1, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and 2-h plasma glucose (P<0.05). The scores of the QoL questionnaire were significantly higher in patients treated with MID than in patients treated with ON, including the scores of general health perception (19.39±3.07 vs. 17.37±3.63, P=0.003), vitality (18.93±2.88 vs. 17.57±3.47, P=0.035), social role functioning (8.85±1.43 vs. 8.15±1.98, P=0.042), emotional role functioning (5.33±1.07 vs. 4.82±1.25, P=0.034), mental health (24.21±3.31 vs. 22.57±3.91, P=0.026) and the total QoL score (125.12±13.16 vs. 116.50±16.94, P=0.005). In conclusion, although the initial health of the patient may have influenced the treatment provided, patients with IPN who received MID achieved a better post-treatment QoL than those treated with ON. No significant differences between the two groups were observed regarding the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas.

Objective: To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adult patients who underwent transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods: During the perioperative and postoperative period, a standard scale involving eight dimensions was used to analyze the HRQoL of 85 adult patients who underwent thoracic device closure of VSD and 80 healthy adults located locally were randomly selected as the control group in our center. Results: A total of 80 patients' and 80 healthy adults' questionnaires were received with complete feedback. Out of all of the items that were investigated, postoperative patients experienced better feelings in some dimensions than the control group. Postoperative feedback was also better than preoperative feedback in some dimensions. In the comparison of the subgroups of these patients, the scores of the elderly were lower than those of the young in most dimensions. Males had more positive feedback in two aspects ("role-physical" (p = 0.01) and "vitality" (p = 0.003)), whereas unmarried people seemed to have poor emotional responses ("role-emotional" (p < 0.01) and "vitality" (p = 0.023)). There was no significant difference in any dimensions except "social functioning" (p < 0.01) between people with different levels of education.Conclusions: Most of the adult patients who underwent thoracic closure of VSD felt that they could lead a normal life. They seemed to have reasonably normal psychosocial responses compared to healthy controls. Many patients even though their HRQoL was better than healthy individuals.

Neural Plasticity Associated with Hippocampal PKA-CREB and NMDA Signaling Is Involved in the Antidepressant Effect of Repeated Low Dose of Yueju Pill on Chronic Mouse Model of Learned Helplessness

et al. 2017

Yueju pill is a traditional Chinese medicine formulated to treat syndromes of mood disorders. Here, we investigated the therapeutic effect of repeated low dose of Yueju in the animal model mimicking clinical long-term depression condition and the role of neural plasticity associated with PKA- (protein kinase A-) CREB (cAMP response element binding protein) and NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) signaling. We showed that a single low dose of Yueju demonstrated antidepressant effects in tests of tail suspension, forced swim, and novelty-suppressed feeding. A chronic learned helplessness (LH) protocol resulted in a long-term depressive-like condition. Repeated administration of Yueju following chronic LH remarkably alleviated all of depressive-like symptoms measured, whereas conventional antidepressant fluoxetine only showed a minor improvement. In the hippocampus, Yueju and fluoxetine both normalized brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and PKA level. Only Yueju, not fluoxetine, rescued the deficits in CREB signaling. The chronic LH upregulated the expression of NMDA receptor subunits NR1, NR2A, and NR2B, which were all attenuated by Yueju. Furthermore, intracerebraventricular administration of NMDA blunted the antidepressant effect of Yueju. These findings supported the antidepressant efficacy of repeated routine low dose of Yueju in a long-term depression model and the critical role of CREB and NMDA signaling.
