ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the awareness level of AIDS knowledge and its influencing factors among middle school students from AIDS high prevalence areas of Yi Autonomous Prefecture (Liangshan Prefecture), and to provide a reference for making propaganda strategies of AIDS knowledge and intervention measures in the relevant departments.@*Methods@#Totally 10 749 students in 4 middle schools were selected from AIDS high prevalence areas of Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Liangshan by the method of cluster sampling. A self-made questionnaire was used to investigate the ways of getting AIDS knowledge and the condition of conducting AIDS life training skills in school.@*Results@#The awareness rate of AIDS-related knowledge among middle school students in Liangshan Prefecture was 44.4%. According to the results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis, female students, junior grade, Yi nationality, poor self-evaluation, lack of parents, living in rural areas, good family economic condition (student self-assessment), living in a community of Yi nationality were all the dangerous factors to the awareness rate of AIDS. School education, radio and television, and health promotion were the main ways for students to acquire AIDS knowledge(88.82%, 80.83%, 73.54%). Minority students, students in severely affected areas received less AIDS life skills training in schools, the time was later, and student needs were not strong.@*Conclusion@#The AIDS awareness level of middle school students in Liangshan AIDS high-incidence area is too low, so it is necessary to pay attention to develop targeted programs to strengthen AIDS health education for middle school students.
ABSTRACT
Objeetive To observe the efficacy and safety of 5 g · L-1 Lotemax suspended eye drops in inflammation control after phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation.Methods Together 60 patients with senile cataract (grade III or more severe) underwent cataract surgery were selected and randomly divided into two groups,including Lotemax group,in which patients were given 5 g · L-1 Lotemax suspended eye drops and Tobramycin eye drops,and Tobradex group,in which patient were alone given Tobradex eye drops.Corneal edema,anterior chamber flare,corneal volume,anterior chamber volume and corneal incision thickness were observed at 1 day,7 days and 30 days after operation,while intraocular pressure was observed at 7 days and 30 days before and after operation.Then the efficacy of Lotemax in control of postoperative inflammation was evaluated by Pentacam's anterior segment analysis system.Results There was no significant difference in corneal edema,anterior chamber flare,corneal volume,anterior chamber volume and corneal incision thickness between the two groups at postoperative 1 day and 30 days (all P ＞ 0.05),but Tobradex group had weak anterior chamber flare and lower corneal volume than Lotemax group (P =0.029,0.019),while the difference in corneal edema,anterior chamber volume and corneal incision thickness was not statistically significant between two groups at postoperative 7 days (P =0.119,0.138,0.101).Moreover,there was no significant difference in intraocular pressure at 7 days and 30 days before and after surgery between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Lotemax suspended eye drops can effectively control the inflammation followed by cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation.
