ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the infection control of chronic osteomyelitis with antibiotic bone cement. Methods In our hospital, 50 patients were randomly divided into study group and control group,after clearing the focus,patients were given antibiotic bone cement and closed lavage and drainage respectively. The hospitalization time,average number of operation and the cure rate of patients were observed. Results The average hospitalization time of 21 patients in the study group was ( 65 ± 4. 2 ) d;the mean number of operation was (2. 3 ± 1. 2);the cure rate was 85. 7%. The average duration of hospitalization of 29 patients in control group was (103 ± 2. 5) d;the mean number of operation was (2. 8 ± 1. 4);the cure rate was 55. 2%. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion Antibiotic bone cement has a good therapeutic effect in the treatment of patients with chronic osteomyelitis,which reduces the hospitalization time and the number of operation,improves the cure rate of patients,focal infection after the removal is controlled well.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the role of traditional Chinese medicine in community health education of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods 124 patients of DN were randomly recruited into an observation group and a control group, with 62 patients in each group. The patients in the observation group participated in TCM health care education voluntarily, while the patients in the control group did not take any TCM education health care. Questionnaires were used to investigate relative knowledge to DN and demands and suggestions to TCM education health care. Results Patients in the observation groups had an obviously better understanding to DN knowledge than before. The therapeutic effects in the observation group were significantly better than the control group (λ2=3.376, P<0.01). Conclusion The application of TCM health education in community DN patients will effectively enhance the cognition of the patients to DN, and will also promote the therapeutic effects of DN treatment outside hospital.
