  • Cross-Sectional Study on Pre-Hypertension Accompanied with Cardiovascular Risk Factors between Urban and Rural Areas in Chengdu

    Objective To investigate pre-hypertension in aspects of its incidence, accompanied cardiovascular risk factors, and difference between urban and rural areas in Chengdu. Methods By cluster random sampling method, a total of 2 011 patients aged 35-70 years from urban and rural communities in Chengdu were selected as respondents. The investigation was conducted through questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory tests, so as to find out the main cardiovascular risk factors of pre-hypertension. All data were dual input into computer by a specially-assigned person. SPSS 13.0 software was used for analysis, Chi-square test was adopted for categorical data, and Plt;0.05 was taken as an index for significant difference. Results a) The incidence rate of pre-hypertensive in Chengdu was 33.6%, and it was 45.67% and 46.31% in urban and rural areas, respectively. In rural area, more male (51.04%) were affected than female (42.83%). b) The smoking population with pre-hypertension were mainly the male, and the ratio of rural male was 60% (132/220), far higher than that of urban male which was 32.6% (59/181). c) The pre-hypertensive population accompanied with diabetes was higher in urban (27.97%) than rural (14.01%). d) The pre-hypertensive population accompanied with hypercholesterolemia or low HDL was 33.04% (150/454) in urban, as twice as that in rural which was 16.41% (76/471). e) The pre-hypertensive population accompanied with abdominal obesity was far higher in urban (28.41%) than rural (12.74%). Conclusion Smoking is the risk factor which needs to be primarily intervened for male hypertensive patients in rural area. Impaired glucose tolerance is the common risk factor for both urban and rural residents, and hyperlipidemia is the most primarily risk factor for urban pre-hypertensive patients, followed by diabetes, and abdominal obesity.

  • An Investigation of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Pre-diabetes Patients in Rural Areas of Chengdu City

    ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and IGR combined with cardiovascular risk factors in rural areas of Chengdu City. MethodsFrom February to October 2010, we randomly sampled 1 016 patients in a rural community 100 kilometers away from the city center as the study subjects. The investigation was carried out by using questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests. The standard 75 g oral glucose tolerance test was used. ResultsA total of 1 016 subjects were investigated, among whom there were 431 males and 585 females with an average age of 56 years old. Of these subjects, 333 were diagnosed to have IGR with a rate of 32.77% (333/1 016). The age-adjusted standardized prevalence of pre-diabetes in rural areas in Chengdu was 32.52% (336/1 016), and the male and female prevalence were respectively 30.63% (132/431) and 34.36% (201/585) without significant difference (χ2=1.569,P=0.210). Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was the most common type of glycometabolism abnormality. Women had a significantly higher prevalence of IGT than men. In IGR population, major cardiovascular risk factors were overweight and obesity (40.8%), high low density lipoprotein cholesterol (38.4%), high triglyceride (30.3%), hypertension (23.7%), smoking (24.3%), and drinking alcohol (23.7%). The stratified analysis showed that the prevalence of overweight, obesity and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol in female was significantly higher than that in males, while the prevalence of smoking and drinking alcohol was significantly higher in males. ConclusionIn rural areas, the prevalence of pre-diabetes is high and complicated with multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

  • Analysis of Day Surgery Indication Expansion and Countermeasures for Nursing Risk Factors in the Department of Ophthalmology

    ObjectiveTo analyze the increased risks of nursing due to expansion of ophthalmic day surgery indications, and the countermeasures. MethodsWe collected the information in the last three years from January 2012 to December 2014 in the Department of Ophthalmology, including the number of operations, the proportion of cataract patients, patients aged over 70 and under 12 years old, patients with high-risk fall, the number of general anesthesia operations, adverse events, and the data from the satisfaction survey of the patients. All the data were analyzed by statistical method. ResultsDuring the last three years, the relaxation of ophthalmic day surgery indications led to an increased admission rate of high-risk patients, and caused more nursing risk factors. Through the efforts of prevention and care, during the last three years, there were no adverse events, and patients had a satisfaction rate over 90%. ConclusionAlthough the ophthalmic day surgery indication has been relaxed, through the establishment of nursing risk response system by pre-hospital guidance, admission assessment, peri-operative education and follow-up visit, with the continuous improvement of nursing management system and convenient workflow, we can not only improve the work efficiency, but also ensure nursing safety.

    ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Polypill on cardiovascular risk factors. MethodSuch databases as Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastracture, WanFang, and China Biology Medicine Disc were searched from their establishment to May 2015 for randomized controlled trials on the efficacy and safety of Polypillon on cardiovascular risk factors. Meta-analyses were performed by using the RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsSix studies were included which all came from overseas including 1 155 patients treated with Polypill and 1 149 treated with placebo or single or combined medicaiton. The meta-analysis showed that:when compared with the controls, Polypills could significantly reduce systolic blood pressure[WMD=-9.39 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), 95%CI (-14.44, -4.33) mm Hg, P=0.0003], diastolic blood pressure[WMD=-5.32 mm Hg, 95%CI (-8.10, -2.55) mm Hg, P=0.0002], total cholesterol[WMD=-1.11 mmol/L, 95%CI (-1.48, -0.74) mmol/L, P<0.00001], and low density lipoprotein[WMD=-0.91 mmol/L, 95%CI (-1.25, -0.57) mmol/L, P<0.00001]. However, those who took Polypill were easier to discontinue medication [OR=1.49, 95%CI (1.19, 1.87), P=0.0005]. In the respect of adverse effects, there was no significant difference between the two groups[OR=1.47, 95%CI (0.67, 3.25), P=0.34]. ConclusionsThe efficacy of Polypill on cardiovascular risk factors is obvious. Polypills can significantly reduce blood pressure and lipids.

  • Risk factors for myasthenia gravis after resection of thymoma

    Objective To evaluate the risk factors of the patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) after resection of thymoma. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 126 thymoma patients without preoperative MG who underwent a thymectomy in our hospital from June 2002 through May 2015. There were 51 males and 75 females at age of 51.71±14.06 years. The risk factors for MG after resection of thymoma were evaluated. Results MG occurred in nine patients after resection of thymoma (7.1%). Incomplete resection (P=0.024), A and AB type of WHO classification (P=0.048), concomitant autoimmune diseases (P=0.024), postoperative pulmonary infection (P=0.036) were the risk factors for the MG after resection of thymoma. Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy (P=0.011) reduced the risk for the patients with incomplete resection or invasive thymoma. Conclusion Incomplete resection, A and AB type of WHO classification, concomitant autoimmune diseases, postoperative pulmonary infection are considered as the risk factors for MG after resection of thymoma, and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be performed for the patients with incomplete resection or invasive thymoma.
