ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the current status of exercise and exercise self-efficacy (ESE) and its influencing factors in middle-aged and elderly patients with high blood pressure, and to provide a basis for the intervention of patients with hypertension in the community. Methods The stratified random sampling method was used to select 546 patients with hypertension who had received hypertension management for one year in the community. The general condition, exercise condition, and ESE scores were collected using survey questionnaires. Chi-square test was applied to analyze the difference of exercise efficacy score among different characteristic objects, and analysis of regression method was applied to analyze the influencing factors of exercise self-efficacy. Results A total of 546 people were surveyed in this study, of which 67.03% of hypertension patients participated in exercise. The main exercise program was walking healthily (87.43%). A total of 262 people (47.99%) had strong performance on ESE score, while 284 people (52.01%) had weak self-efficacy. The univariate unconditional logistic regression analysis found that there were significant differences in the distribution of educational level, family monthly income, years of hypertension, whether they received the guidance from family doctors, whether they exercised and whether they warmed up before exercise (P<0.05). The multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that educational level of junior high school and low average monthly household income were the risk factors affecting exercise efficacy, and the guidance of family doctors, exercise, and hypertension less than 5 years were the protective factors affecting exercise efficacy. Conclusion The exercise self-efficacy of middle-aged and elderly patients with hypertension in this community is at a medium level, and family doctors should carry out targeted interventions based on influencing factors to improve exercise self-management ability.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the visual acuity and refractive status of kindergarten children and primary and middle school students in Xinhong Community of Shanghai from 2015 to 2018, and to provide basis and reference for the prevention and control of students' myopia. Methods The data of 3 904 person-times of complete visual acuity and refraction records from 2015 to 2018 was derived from the "Shanghai Residents' Eye Health Information Service System". Results From 2015-2018, the total detection rate of poor vision of kindergarten children and primary and middle school students was 60.86%, and the detection rate of poor vision in kindergarten, primary school and middle school was 29.90%，62.63% and 87.26% respectively，showing an increasing trend with the education stage (χ2=727.206，P2=19.949, P2=1099.978, P<0.05). In terms of growth rate, the increase in myopia in the first grade of primary school was the largest. Conclusion The myopia rate of primary and secondary school students was higher than that of kindergarten children, and showed an increasing trend with the education stage. The critical period of myopia prevention and control should be advanced to the kindergarten stage.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate a self-designed external fixation restorer used for femoral shaft fractures in children.@*Methods@#From September 2016 to October 2017, 19 children were treated at Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University for irreducible femoral shaft fractures using our self-designed external fixation restorer. They were 15 males and 4 females, aged from 4 years and 2 months to 8 years (average, 6.3 years). There were 7 transverse fractures, 11 short oblique fractures and one oblique fracture. The restorer was applied directly to the femur for traction and temporary external fixation. The femoral shaft fractures were reduced closely before internal fixation with elastic stable intramedullary nails. The Flynn criteria for lower limb fracture were used to evaluate the curative effects postoperatively.@*Results@#The operative time ranged from 32 to 45 minutes (37 minutes on average). All the fractures obtained closed reduction. No such intraoperative complications occurred as traction and compression injury to soft tissues like muscle, nerve and blood vessel. Follow-ups ranged from 8 to 20 months (average, 13 months). All the fractures got united after 7 to 15 weeks (average, 10.1 weeks). No implant failure or breakage occurred. The implants were removed 6 to 8 months after operation when the fractures got united. According to the Flynn evaluation criteria at the last follow-up, 18 cases were excellent and one was good.@*Conclusions@#Due to its advantages of simplicity, easy manipulation and direct action on the femur for traction, our self-designed external fixation restorer can improve the closed reduction for femoral shaft fractures in children so that its sustained and effective traction force and high quality of fracture closure avoid surgical opening. The temporarily fixation it provides after fracture reduction can facilitate intraoperative fluoroscopy of the femur.

ABSTRACT
One hundred and fifty eight post-stroke patients in the recovering period were divided into intervention group (78 cases) and control group (80 cases).Patients in intervention group received home rehabilitation service provided by general practitioners (GP) for 6 months,while patients in control group received routine rehabilitation.After 6-months,the scores of self-rated health measurement scale (SRHMS) in intervention group were significantly higher than those of control group (P ＜0.01);the visiting time and frequency,medical costs and time of caregiving were decreased (P ＜ 0.01);and the satisfaction score of the patients in intervention group was 97％.The results show that home rehabilitation service can improve effectiveness of rehabilitation for post-stroke patient in recovering period.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the promotion effect of recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor ( rh-aFGF) on wound healing in children with surgery or accident injury. Methods: Totally 206 cases of injured children were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group was given rh-aFGF, and the control group was treated with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). The ob-servation of wound healing, infection and fat liquefaction in the children was recorded in 7 days,and the modification of scar, pigmenta-tion and adverse reactions were observed in 6 months after the treatment. Results:After the 7-day treatment by rh-aFGF and bFGF, the healing rate respectively was 88. 4% and 74. 2%, and the residual wound area was (2. 2 ± 1. 1) cm2 and (3. 9 ± 2. 4) cm2,respec-tively. Six months after the treatment, the scar incidence rate of the treatment group and the control group was 27. 2% and 67. 5%, and the incidence of pigmentation was 30. 1% and 69. 9%, respectively. Conclusion:Rh-aFGF is more effective than bFGF in pro-moting wound healing in children with surgery or accident injury. It can effectively promote wound healing, shorten the healing time, and diminish the area of scar and pigmentation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To treat femur fracture in neonates using a new homemade harness designed and observe the effec of this harness. Methods Designed a new harness used in femur fracture in neonates,and used this harness in 7(8 femur fracture)csses,including 6 boys(7 femur fracture)and 1 girl,the age from 1 day to 12 days(average 4.7 days).Those cases included proximal thirds(2 cases)and middle thirds(6 cases)of femur fracture.The angle of fracture was from 44°to 83°(average 62.4°)before treatment. Results The angle of fracture was from 0°to 22°(average 14.0°)after treatment using the harness.Hespitalization was from 2 to 3 days.There were no skin sloughing or harness breaking off.All cases were followed up 6 to 36 months(average 21.3 months).All femur fracture healed in good alignment with leg-length discrepancy＜1 cm.Movement of hip and knee was normal. Conclusions The harness is a better method to treat femur fracture of the proximal and middle thirds in neonates.Advantages of it include simply operation,minimal hospitalization,minimal cost,and easy nursing.
ABSTRACT
Twenty-seven patients of limb fractures with osseous defect were selected from Department of Orthopedics in the 3rd Hospital of Hebei Medical University between April and October in 2003. They all agreed the informed consents and received emergency one-stage implantation of coralline hydroxyapatite. Postoperative restoration of limb fractures with osseous defect was investigated by using X-ray for average 186 days. Among 27 included patients, 25 ones were involved in the result analysis, and 2 ones lost. The implants and osseous tissue were not closely integrated in 1 case, were partial integrated in 2 cases, and 22 cases showed close integration. No case appeared whole or local adverse effects.
