ABSTRACT
Objective@#To sample survey the relationship between acute mountain sickness and mental health of officers and soldiers, so as to provide theoretical direction for the psychological prevent and counsel of them.@*Methods@#In May 2017, 61 officers and soldiers were selectedas subject investigated, and divided to AMS group included 35 persons and non-AMS group included 26 persons according to the finding of theAMS symptom division point table, then used symptom self-testing tableto test and evaluate the mental health of them.@*Results@#The AMS group showed significantly higher scores on the psychological parameters such as omatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, phobicanxiety, parnoid ideation and so on (105.20±13.82, 1.37±0.26, 1.14±0.21, 1.16±0.19, 1.16±0.18, 1.06±0.11, 1.10±0.17, 1.22±0.19, P<0.05) .@*Conclusion@#The mental factors of omatization, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, phobic anxiety, parnoid ideation and so on had great influence on AMS, we should pay attention to these factors and carry on mental intervention, and enhance anti-stress ability of individual, to ensure the successful completion of plateau military mission.
ABSTRACT
Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical application of BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity) index in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Forty patients with stable COPD in Xuanwu Hospital of Beijing during September 2003 to December 2007, were recruited in the study, including 25 men and 15 women, aged 38 to 85 years (with a mean of 62 ± 13 years). BODE index was measured for each patient, one year and three years after recruitment, respectively. Severity of COPD, including number and duration of episodes, length of each hospital stay and times of hospitalization due to acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), were recorded. All data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software for windows. Results ①There was a remarkable difference in COPD severity between patients with BODE score equal to or greater than five and these with less than five (P <0.01 ). ①BODE score inversely correlated with forced expired volume at the first second ( FEV1 ) in COPD patients (P < 0.01 for those with BODE score equal to or greater than five and P <0.05 for these with BODE score less than five, respectively). ③BODE score positively correlated with number and duration of acute exacerbation, length of hospital stay and times of hospitalization due to AECOPD (P <0. 01 for those with BODE score equal to or greater than five and P < 0. 05 for those with BODE score less than five, respectively). For patients with COPD, their BODE score in the first year positively correlated with that in the third year ( r = 0.834, P < 0.01 ). Conclusions BODE index is a better indicator to evaluate their condition severity in patients with COPD.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the evaluation of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the relationship with the pulmonary function test (PFT). Methods 26 COPD patients and 30 normal controls were examined with CPET and PFT. Results The parameters of CPET, including maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), anaerobic threshold (AT), maximum minute ventilation (VEmax) and breathing reserve (BR) were lower in COPD group than those in control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in Wmax, oxygen pulse (O2pulse) between two groups (P>0.05). VO2max, AT, VEmax and BR were positively correlated with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) in COPD group （P<0.05）, but were not correlated with forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC (P>0.05).Conclusion The pulmonary function of COPD patients can be evaluated with CPET, especially VO2max, AT, VEmax and BR.
ABSTRACT
Fourty-five Cases of piriformis syndrome were treated by acupuncturing Huantiao(GB 30),Yanglingquan (GB 34) and Kuanlun (BL 60). After 20 treatments,36 individuals were well cured and 9 were effective.
