ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the status and influencing factors of awareness of diabetic retinopathy (DR) knowledge in diabetics in Funing County, Jiangsu Province.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. In 2021, a total of 2 125 residents with diabetes in Funing County, Jiangsu Province were recruited using cluster random sampling methods. General examinations were performed and ophthalmological evaluation were conducted including visual acuity in daily life, slit lamp microscope with preset lens, digital non-mydriatic fundus photography. Clinical assessment and classification of DR were according to the international standard clinical classifications of diabetic retinopathy in 2019. DR was classified into no obvious DR, mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Field questionnaire surveys were conducted to show the awareness rate of DR knowledge. Then Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to investigate influencing factors.Results:Among 2 125 subjects, 762 (35.86%, 762/2 125) residents were male and 1 363 (64.14%, 1 363/2 125) residents were female. A total of 444 (20.89%, 444/2 125) subjects were diagnosed as DR. Among which, 438 (20.61%, 438/2 125) subjects were NPDR, 6 (0.28%, 6/2 125) subjects were PDR. A total of 419 (19.72%, 419/2 125) subjects were diagnosed as cataract. The topic awareness rates were all below 45.00%. The overall population awareness rate was 19.45% (4 959/25 500). Awareness rate was correlated with age, visual acuity in daily life, education level, family history of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy grades and the type of treatment for diabetes ( P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the knowledge rate of prevention and treatment of DR Decreased significantly in patients aged 60-79 compared with those aged under 50 ( P<0.05). Compared with those with visual acuity <0.1 in daily life, the knowledge rate of DR prevention and treatment in those with visual acuity ≥0.1 was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). While primary school to college education, with family history of diabetes, with DR, oral hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin treatment were associated with higher awareness rate ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The DR knowledge level is low among diabetics in Funing County, Jiangsu Province in 2021. Age, visual acuity in daily life, education level, family history of diabetes, with DR and receiving drug treatments are main influencing factors for diabetic’s awareness.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effect of preserving the ascending uterine artery in laparoscopic hysterectomy with traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy.Methods 112 patients with various kinds of uterine benign lesions performed by hysterectomy were randomly divided into the preserving the ascending uterine artery in laparoscopic hysterectomy group(observation group,n =60) and traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy group (control group,n =52),The operation time,the intra operative blood loss,the postoperative complications rate and the perimenopausal symptoms in two groups were compared as well as the levels of blood calcium and the levels of hormone before operation,the first month,the sixth month,the first year,and the third year after operation.Results The opreration time [(95.5 ± 22.8) win] and intraoperative blood soss [(81.3 ± 11.6) ml] of the observation group was more than those of the control group [(68.8 ± 7.2) ml] (t =3.772,4.418,all P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative abnormal uniation and defection (1.7％) and fever incidence (1.7％) of the observation group was lower than those of the control group (11.5 ％,13.5 ％) (x2 =4.623,5.843,all P ＜ 0.05).The estradiol level of the observation group began to fall in 6 months postoperative,and had significant differences compare with those of the control group 6 months,1 year,3 years after operation [(328.4 ± 13.4) pmol/L vs (304.8 ± 15.2) pmol/L,(311.3 ± 12.9) pmol/L vs (248.5 ±13.6)pmol/L,(258.3 ± 11.4)pmol/L vs (138.7 ± 12.7)pmol/L] (t =8.758,25.121,52.688,all P ＜0.05).There was significant difference in the level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) between the two groups 1,3 years after operation(t =-90.540,-123.229,-14.757,-19.845,all P ＜ 0.01).There was significant difference in the level of calcium between the two groups 1,3 years after operation(t =3.261,3.050,all P ＜0.05).The perimenopausal symptoms of the observation group was less than those of the control group(x2 =6.142,3.471,4.976,6.646,4.633,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic hysterectomy of preserving the ascending uterine artery is safe and reliable;the recently ovarian function of the patients with hysterectomy is to maximize the preservation in the treatment,the women's quality of life will be to improved.
