RESUMO
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in patients aged 65 years and above in Liaoning Province. Methods Between January 2019 and December 2020, a cluster random sampling method was used to investigate residents ≥ 65 years old in Sujiatun Community, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. The pulmonary function tests of the selected residents were conducted. Questionnaire surveys were carried out and 5738 questionnaires with complete data were analyzed. Results A total of 620 COPD cases were diagnosed among 5738 people investigated in the present study, with a total prevalence rate of 10.81%, of which the prevalence rate in men was 12.58% (371/2950), and the prevalence rate in women was 8.93% (249/2950). According to the GOLD classification of lung function, 620 patients can be divided into 186 (30.49%) cases of grade I, 266 (43.61%) grade II, 118 (19.34%) grade III, and 50 (8.20%) cases of grade IV. The problem with lung function in males was more serious than that in females, which increased gradually with age (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, BMI, smoking, childhood respiratory history, family history, occupational exposure, indoor oil fume and use of polluted fuel for heating were independent risk factors affecting the onset of COPD (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of COPD in patients aged 65 years old and above in Liaoning is relatively high. Gender, age, BMI, smoking, childhood respiratory history, family history, occupational exposure, indoor oil fume, and use of polluted fuel for heating are related to the onset of COPD. Clinical attention should be paid to early screening and prevention of COPD in those populations to reduce the prevalence of COPD..
RESUMO
Under normal conditions,insulin secreted by the pancreas enters the liver through the portal vein,forming a difference in insulin concentration above the peripheral circulation.Subcutaneous administration of insulin forms a portal-peripheral concentration gradient of insulin above the liver,which is inconsistent with normal physiological conditions.Intraperitoneal insulin administration has been extensively investigated because that is closer to physiological state.In this paper,the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of insulin intraperitoneal administration were reviewed.Compared with the conventional subcutaneous delivery,intraperitoneal insulin administration can not only reduce the incidence of hypoglycemia,but also has the advantage of correcting abnormal lipid metabolism.This means that intraperitoneal administration of insulin has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications.Therefore,it is necessary and feasible to develop a safe,low-cost,and easy-to-use percutaneous intraperitoneal insulin delivery device.
RESUMO
Objective To determine the important functional units of medical endoscopes and provide a theoretical basis for improving the maintenance and repair of hospital medical equipment.Methods The units of medical endoscopes were analyzed by the failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) method to determine the important functional unit.The maintenance methods of the important functional units were proposed and compared with those obtained by a medical equipment repair company.Results According to the risk priority number (RPN) score＞ 36,the important functional units of the medical endoscope were determined as electrical interface,water bottle interface,suction interface,housing,chain,pliers pipeline,water gas pipeline,jacket,charge coupled device (CCD) glass,guided beam glass and nozzles.These units require clinical operators to focus on and perform regular maintenances.Compared with the results obtained by the company,human factors were considered as a greater impact on the reliability of medical endoscopes.Conclusions For clinical operators,the operation training of medical endoscopes should be strengthened to avoid human-induced failures.
