ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze epidemic status and influencing factors for the poor vision of the students in Henan in 2014 and to provide the scientific basis of more targeted myopia prevention strategies.Methods The data of 34 886 students aged 9 to 18 who were involved in the students'physical fitness survey in Henan province in 2014 was used to analyze epidemic status and influencing factors for the poor vision.Results The prevalence rate of myopia among Henan students was 62.5％.In addition,high school was higher than middle school which was higher than primary school.Girl was higher than boy,and urban was higher than rural.Through the unconditional logistic regression,having breakfast three to five times a week,eating eggs three to five times a week,drinking milk unusually,doing exercise over two hours a day,and watching TV over two hours a day were the protective factors for poor vision,of which the OR were 0.850,0.883,0.864,0.830,0.738 respectively.Correspondingly,the 95％ CI were 0.776-0.931,0.813-0.960,0.812-0.920,0.722-0.955,0.681-0.799.While sleeping less than seven hours,PE class one time a week or less,refusing to run longdistance,doing homework over two hours,and playing the e-productions over two hours were the risk factors of which OR were 1.100,1.091,1.100,1.375,1.155 respectively.Correspondingly,the 95％ CI were 1.009-1.199,1.017-1.172,1.024-1.183,1.287-1.469,1.072-1.244.Conclusions The rate of the myopia among the students in Henan is still severe.There are multifarious factors related to poor vision.Therefore,much more targeted measures should be taken to prevent poor vision from developing.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the associations between overweight-obesity and puberty timing in children with different genders.@*Methods@#The girls in grade 2, 3, 7, 8 and boys in grade 3, 4, 7, 8 were recruited from primary and middle schools in North new area of Shenyang, Yanqing district of Beijing, Erqi district of Zhengzhou and Jiulongpo district of Chongqing by purposive sampling method between October and December 2014, respectively. The information of demographic characteristics of the respondents were collected and the pubertal development status was evaluated by Pubertal Development Scale (PDS). A total of 6 701 students were recruited; 6 137 out of which were valid with complete questionnaires. The associations between overweight-obesity and puberty timing were estimated by multivariate logistic regression analysis.@*Results@#The prevalence of overweight-obesity in primary schools were 34.8% (522/1 499) among boys and 24.2% (341/1 409) among girls, respectively. The prevalence of overweight-obesity in middle schools were 31.3% (591/1 658) among boys and 21.8% (342/1 571) among girls, respectively. The prevalence of premature puberty in primary schools were 15.0% (225/1 499) among boys and 14.2% (200/1 409) among girls, respectively. The prevalence of delayed puberty in middle schools were 14.3% (237/1 658) among boys and 14.9% (234/1 571) among girls, respectively. After adjusting the effects of region, age, one-child, family income and the parents' educational levels, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that overweight-obesity had significantly positive association with premature puberty (OR=2.16, 95%CI: 1.56-2.99) among girls in primary schools, and significantly negative association with delayed puberty (OR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.36-0.80) among girls in middle schools when compared with students with normal weights, both P values were <0.05. There was no significant associations among boys in primary and middle schools between overweight-obesity and puberty timing, and the corresponding OR(95%CI) were 1.08(0.80-1.45) and 0.93(0.69-1.27) respectively, both P values >0.05.@*Conclusion@#There was significantly positive association between overweight-obesity and premature puberty among girls, and significantly negative association with delayed puberty among girls in middle schools; but the association was not found among boys.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with acupuncture and moxibustion on traumatic peripheral facial nerve injury, and the results of electromyography. Methods From January, 2007 to January, 2013, a total of 160 patients with traumat-ic peripheral facial nerve injury were divided into treatment group (n=80) and control group (n=80). Both groups received routine drug treat-ment. Hyperbaric oxygen combined with acupuncture and moxibustion was applied to treatment group in addition. The clinical efficacy and the results of electromyography were analyzed before and 36 days after treatment. Results After treatment, the cure rate and total efficiency was significantly higher (χ2>7.657, P2.214, P3.116, P5.45, P<0.001) in the treatment group than in the control group. Conclusion Hyperbaric oxy-gen combined with acupuncture and moxibustion is more effective on traumatic peripheral facial nerve injury than routine.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of acupuncture plus acupoint injection in improving the depression state and quality of life (QOL) in patients with depression after ischemic stroke (syndrome differentiated as blood stagnation obstructing collaterals).MethodAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the eligible subjects were enrolled and randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus acupoint injection, while the control group was by oral administration of Fluoxetine. They were evaluated by using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Barthel Index (BI) before treatment and after 2-month treatment.ResultAfter 2-month treatment, there was no significant difference in comparing the anti-depressionefficacy between the two groups (P>0.05). The BI score of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group after 2-month treatment (P<0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture plus acupoint injection is effective in improving the depression state in the patients with depression after ischemic stroke (syndrome differentiated as blood stagnation obstructing collaterals); after 2-month treatment, it can produce an equivalent therapeutic efficacy compared with oral administration of Fluoxetine.Acupuncture plus acupoint injection is superior to the control in improving the QOL of the patients.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of anxiety and its related social factors in undergraduate student,in order to provide scientific evidence for the prevention of anxiety in undergraduate.MethodsThe cluster random sampling was adopted for this study,and 965 college students from Zhengzhou University were investigated by Personal Report of Communication Apprehension,Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire,Toronto Alexithymia Scale,Perceived Social Support Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale.Results①The anxiety detection rate of respondents was 19.3％.There were significant differences in the detection rate and severity of anxiety between genders(Male:27.0％,Female:10.2％ ) and grades( Freshman:16.4％,Junior:23.8％ ) in the college students (P ＜ 0.05).There were not significant difference in different family residence students anxiety detection rate and level(P ＞ 0.05 ).②The scores of communication apprehension ( ( 69.31 ± 12.32),( 65.25 ± 12.56) ),positive coping style( (20.84 ±5.10),(23.99 ±5.18) ),negative coping style( ( 11.03 ±4.15),(09.18 ±3.96) ),Toronto alexithymia( (74.97 ± 6.93 ),(70.31 ± 7.98 ) ) and perceived social support ( (53.14 ± 5.78 ),(57.02 ± 5.79) ) of the anxiety group were significantly different with those of the normal group (P ＜ 0.05).③The significant relationship was found among anxiety emotions and gender,positive coping style,negative coping style,Toronto alexithymia and perceived social support by using Logistic regression analysis (P＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe prevalence of anxiety in undergraduate students is relatively high and it is related with multiple factors.In addition,social support,alexithymia and coping style have a close correlation with anxiety in undergraduates.
