ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze and summarize the clinical features of delayed occurrence of senile asthma,to add the knowledge and understanding of the disease. Methods To retrospectively analyze clinical data of the cases of senile asthma treated in our hospital,all the cases were divided into groups of early onset senile asthma and delayed occurrence senile asthma,according to the age of first onset.Then related indexes were analyzed,to summarize the clinical features of group of delayed occurrence of senile asthma. Results There were 28 cases of delayed occurrence of senile asthma,accounting for 34.6% of total cases.Compared to early onset group,there was no significant difference (all P＞0.05) between two groups for the following items such as age,allergic history and positive rate of family's history,disease causes,clinical symptoms,basic diseases and complications,proportion of severe cases,rate of misdiagnosis and mistreatment,proportion of standardized treatment and un-standardized treatment,prognosis of diseases and mortality.Both groups had low rate of knowledge and application on PEF monitoring equipment and ACT score.The period of misdiagnosis and mistreatment for delayed occurrence group was shorter than the early onset group (P＜0.05＝; the seasonal nature and day and night pattern was significant in delayed occurrence group (P＜0.05＝. Conclusion Late onset elderly asthma had the features such as shorter course of the disease,relatively obvious onset rule during day and night,and obvious symptoms during night,which are different from that of early onset group.
ABSTRACT
To observe the treatment of 30 patients with climacteric syndrome by ear-acupoint application, the main points were Kidney (MA-SC), Sympathetic (MA-AH 7), Er Shenmen (MA-TF 1)and Endocrine (MA-IC 3). In case of dizziness, loss of memory and headache, Liver (MA-SC 5),Subcortex (MA-AT 1), Adrenal Gland(MA-T) and Internal Ear (MA-L) were added; in case of insomnia,restlessness, tidal fever and sweats, Heart (MA-IC), Lung (MA-IC 1) and Heart (MA-IC) were added.After 3-course treatment, the clinical symptoms disappeared and menstrual disorder obviously improved in 25 cases; the clinical symptoms and the menstrual disorder obviously abated in 4 cases; no change happened in 1 case. The total effective rate was 96.7%.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the relationship between the intima media thickness(IMT) and the level of serum uric acid in elderly female patients with hypertension Methods Eighty elderly female patients with hypertension were measured for carotid artery average IMT and the level of serum uric acid They were divided into the normal group, intima thicking group ,the plaque shaping group and the vascular stenosis group. In the abnormal groups, probable risk factors were analysed by multiple stepwise regression Results There were significantly differentces among these groups ( P
