This cluster randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of an intervention to teach resourcefulness on depression and coping style of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A convenience sample of 72 patients in community settings took part. Participants in the intervention group (n = 36) received an 8-week intervention based on the concept of resourcefulness, plus routine health education. Participants in the control group (n = 36) received routine health education only. After the intervention, participants in the intervention group had significantly higher scores on resourcefulness and coping styles, and lower scores on depression than those in the control group (both ps < .001). The findings suggest that a well-developed intervention to teach resourcefulness could help patients with CHD to be more resourceful, improve their level of depression, and choose more effective strategies to cope with stress.
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Previous research has demonstrated that resourcefulness interventions can help individuals identify effective coping strategies to manage their conditions, reduce the incidence of depression, and improve their quality of life. However, little is known about such interventions for people with CHD in China. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effects of a resourcefulness training intervention on depression and coping style of patients with CHD in China. METHODS A cluster randomized controlled trial design was used. A convenience sample of 72 patients in community settings took part in the study. Participants in the intervention group (n = 36) received an 8-week intervention based on the concept of resourcefulness, plus routine health education. Participants in the control group (n = 36) received routine health education only. Three outcomes (resourcefulness, depression, and coping styles) were measured using the Resourcefulness Scale, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and Medical Coping Mode Questionnaire. Data were collected at baseline and post intervention, and analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, independent sample t tests, and χ tests. RESULTS After the intervention, participants in the intervention group had significantly higher scores on resourcefulness and coping styles, and lower scores on depression than those in the control group (both Ps < .001). CONCLUSIONS It is suggested that a well-developed resourcefulness intervention could help patients with CHD in China and beyond to be more resourceful, improve their level of depression, and choose more effective strategies to cope with stress.

Objective To investigate the current status of the resourcefulness level of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) in an urban community, to analyze its influencing factors and to offer a basis for making resourcefulness training plans for patients. Methods Totally 311 CHD patients from 4 community service centers in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province between March and September 2017, were selected by convenient sampling, and investigated with the General Information Questionnaire and Resourcefulness Scale. And statistical analysis was conducted with Epidata 3.1 and SPSS 24.0. Results The resourcefulness score of the 311 CHD patients was (71.23±15.02) , including (41.06±10.40) for personal resourcefulness and (30.14±5.60) for social resourcefulness. According to the multivariate regression analysis, age, educational level, personal monthly income, length of illness and the number of complicated chronic diseases were the major influencing factors of resourcefulness level of CHD patients (P<0.01) . Conclusions The resourcefulness of community CHD patients is at a medium level. Community medical and nursing staff shall focus on the patients with old age, low educational level, low income, longer illness and more complicated chronic diseases.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of the triglyceride (TG) core of circulating TG-rich lipoproteins including chylomicrons (CM), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). A variety of parenchymal cells can synthesize and secrete LPL. Recent studies have demonstrated that complicated processes are involved in LPL biosynthesis, secretion and transport. The enzyme activity of LPL is regulated by many factors, such as apolipoproteins, angiopoietins, hormones and miRNAs. In this article, we also reviewed the roles of LPL in atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accident, Alzheimer disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. LPL in different tissues exerts differential physiological functions. The role of LPL in atherosclerosis is still controversial as reported in the literature. Here, we focused on the properties of LPL derived from macrophages, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells in the vascular wall. We also explore the existence of crosstalk between LPL and those cells when the molecule mainly plays a proatherogenic role. This review will provide insightful knowledge of LPL and open new therapeutic perspectives.
