Mental Health Status and Its Influencing Factors Among Elderly Hypertension Patients from Rural Areas of Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To investigate the mental health status and its influencing factors among elderly hypertensive patients from Rural Areas of Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan.Methods Multi-stage random sampling method was adopted to select elderly hypertensive patients from rural Yi ethnic areas in Yunnan.Questionnaires were used to collect their basic information and mental health status.Multivariate logistic regression was performed to explore the influencing factors of mental health among the elderly hypertensives.Results 21.82%(209/958)of elderly people with hypertension have poor mental health status in Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture,Yunnan.Age of 80-89 years(OR = 2.395,P<0.05)and over 90 years(OR = 3.293,P<0.05),as well as physical disability(OR = 2.037,P<0.05),were risk factors for poor mental health.Compared with those who rated their economic situation as very difficult,rating as somewhat difficult(OR = 0.490,P<0.05),moderate(OR = 0.632,P<0.05)and relatively affluent(OR = 0.344,P<0.05),having a spouse(OR = 0.655,P<0.05),received full concern from the offspring(OR = 0.411,P<0.05)and maintain good relationships with offspring(OR = 0.339,P<0.05)were protective factors.Conclusions The mental health status of elderly people with hypertension is relatively poor in rural areas of Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan Province.Special attention should be paid to the mental health of older and physically disabled elderly hypertensives.Economic and mental support from children was crucially important in improving the mental health of elderly hypertensive patients in rural areas of Chuxiong and Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan Province.

Biomechanics relationships of lumbar disc herniation and spondylolisthesis with transplanted implants / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:The purpose of lumbar disc protrusion and spondylolysis operation is not only to anterior decompression and fusion,but also to maintain the mechanical stability of vertebrae by holding the normal stress spot range of instantaneous center of rotation (ICR).OBJECTIVE:Using mechanical tenet to explain the pathological relationship between lumbar disc protrusion and spondylolysis,and to summarize the treatments for 68 cases with lumbar disc herniation and spondylolisthesis.METHODS:Totally 68 cases of lumbar disc protrusion and spondylolisthesis suffered lumbago or sciatica simultaneously.All patients were treated by the surgical method containing posterior whole or half laminectomy exploration decompression,discectomy,intervertebral fusion and the short segment posterior pedicle screw reduction and internal fixation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All patients received 1.5 years follow-up.According to Stamffer criterion of therapeutic effectiveness,63 patients were good,and 5 patients were average,with 92.6% good rate.Due to abnormal ICR,the pathological disc and spondylolysis were reciprocal causation.Following implantation,the stress of ICR was kept in a normal range,and the anterior sliding power of vertebrae was reduced,which can maintain the mechanical stability of vertebrae.
