ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To investigate the prevalence of strabismus and amblyopia in Dai, Hani, Lahu and local Han nationality pupils in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, and to analyze its differences and risk factors.<p>METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 7214 patients aged 6-15 years were conducted in Mengla County of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. The investigation included naked eye and best corrected visual acuity, diopter, eye position, anterior segment and fundus examination. The influencing factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.<p>RESULTS:(1)The case rate of strabismus(exotropia)and amblyopia(refractive amblyopia)were 2.12%(85.62%)and 0.60%(74.42%)respectively;(2)The case rate of strabismus had no difference in sex, age and nationality(<i>P</i>>0.05), however, the case rate of exotropia was different in ethnic groups: the Lahu is more likely to have exotropia than the Han nationality(<i>OR</i>: 1.86, 95% <i>CI</i>: 1.12-3.09). Immediate family with strabismus or exotropia, myopia and hyperopia were all risk factors of strabismus(<i>P</i><0.05 <i>OR</i>>1), and myopia was the risk factor of exotropia(<i>OR</i>: 2.13, 95% <i>CI</i>: 1.32-3.44). The <i>OR</i> value of exotropia increased with the diopter of myopia(<i>P</i><0.05);(3)The case rate of amblyopia was not different in sex, age and nationality(<i>P</i>>0.05). Myopia and hyperopia were risk factors of amblyopia(<i>P</i><0.05, <i>OR</i>>1).<p>CONCLUSION: There is a high risk of strabismus in the children whose immediate family has exotropia of Xishuangbanna ethnic minority, and there is a certain ethnic difference in strabismus; Both myopia and hyperopia are the main risk factors of strabismus and amblyopia. The disease risk of strabismus and exotropia increases with the increase of refractive diopter; Low local amblyopia was associated with a lower incidence of ametropia.
ABSTRACT
We explored the liver enzymes characteristics of dengue patients with fatty liver in Xishuangbanna,providing evi-dences for local dengue fever effective treatment program.The clinical data of 1 9 1 dengue patients with fatty liver and 1 9 1 ran-domized controls was retrospectively analyzed on the patients'mainly liver enzymes indicators in Xishuangbanna Prefecture from 2013 to 2015.Results showed that the 191 cases with fatty liver,the growth rate of such as alanine aminotransferase was 84.8%,aspartate aminotransferase was 90.1%,gamma glutamyltransferase was 76.8% and bilirubin index was 20.4%,except bilirubin index,the other 3 indicators in dengue patients with fatty liver were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The liver injury was serious for the dengue cases with fatty liver in Xishuangbanna,of those alanine aminotransferase,aspar-tate aminotransferase and gamma glutamyltransferase were significantly increased.These results suggested that doctors should pay attention to above 3 enzymes changes and take related treatments immediately as soon as dengue cases with fatty liver were detected.
ABSTRACT
Xishuangbanna Dai prefecture has high temperature and high humidity all throughout the year, and puerperal diseases are very common to local Dai women. This paper focused on the medicinal plants using knowledge by Xishuangbanna Dai ethnic people and conducted a series of medicinal ethnobotanical study. In total, 27 plant species were investigated and recognized; The plants near to Dai village had the highest utilization; The selection of medicinal plant reflects the manifested time and space characteristics; Taking herbal decoction with water was the most-used method; Furthermore, the local Dai people attached more importance to the compatibility of different medicines to get better curative effect. The study indicates that the Dai medicine should take the different time and occasion into account when used for treating puerperal diseases, and the treatment is very complicated and variable. The authors have called on more attention to Dai medicinal ethnobotanical study.
