RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of body mass management and mindfulness therapy on obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods:A total of 68 patients with PCOS admitted to Haikou People's Hospital(Haikou Hospital Affiliated to Central South Xiangya Medical College) from January to December 2018 were divided into observation group and control group by random digits table method, 34 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with body quality management combined with mindfulness therapy, and the control group was treated with routine nursing intervention. The total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), fasting blood glucose (FPG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 hPPG), insulin (PINS), fasting insulin (FINS), Self Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), quality of life score in the two groups were evaluated.Results:There was no significant difference in TC and TG between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05); after 12 weeks of intervention, TC, TG were (4.21 ± 0.20), (1.60 ± 0.20) mmol/L in the observation group and (4.50 ± 0.31), (1.95 ± 0.55) mmol/L in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups ( t values were 4.584, 3.487, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in FPG, 2 hPPG, PINS and FINS between the two groups before intervention and FPG, 2 hPPG after 12 weeks of intervention ( P>0.05); PINS, FINS were (72.60±28.46),(16.02±3.00)mU/L in the observation group and (102.61±50.10),(18.10±4.22)mU/L in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups ( t values were 3.037, 2.342, P<0.01 or 0.05). There was no significant difference in the SPBS score between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05); after 12 weeks of intervention, the SPBS score was (26.15 ± 2.02) in the observation group and (31.03 ± 1.00) in the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( t value was 12.624, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the quality of life score between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05); after 12 weeks of intervention, the scores of quality of life energy, sleep emotion, social life and physical activity were (80.62 ± 3.50), (79.10 ± 3.62), (75.02 ± 3.00), (77.26 ± 2.87) in the observation group and (71.23±4.02),(72.59±3.65),(69.20±4.11),(69.20±4.47) in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups( t values were 7.234-10.272, P<0.01). Conclusions:The application of body mass management and mindfulness therapy can effectively improve the glucose and lipid metabolism level of obese PCOS patients, reduce the burden of psychological self perception, and improve the quality of life.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the impacts of acupoint catgut embedding therapy on postpartum weight retention.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seventy-one women of postpartum weight retention were divided into an observation group (35 cases) and a control group (36 cases) according to their own wishes when re-examination in 42 days after delivery. In the control group, the nutrition consultation was provided and the calories intake was controlled continuously for 20 weeks. In the observation group, on the basis of the treatment as the control group, the acupoint embedding therapy was applied to Zhongwan (CV 12), Zhongji (CV 3), Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Tianshu (ST 25), Guilai (ST 29), Shuifen (CV 9), Shousanli (LI 10), Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40) and Yinlingquan (SP 9). The sutures, No. 4-0 were cut as 2 to 4 mm in length and put into the embedding needle. Afterarrival, the sutures were pushed into the acupoints with the needle core and the needle was removed quickly. The treatment was given once every two weeks, continuously for 20 weeks. Totally, 10 times of acupoint catgut embedding therapy were required. Before and after treatment, the body mass, weight retention, body mass index (BMI), percentage of body fat (PBF), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and health promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP-Ⅱ) were observed in the participants of the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After treatment, body mass, weight retention, BMI, PBF, WC and WHR were all reduced as compared with those before treatment in the participants of the two groups, indicating the significant differences (all<0.05). After treatment, the body mass, weight retention, BMI, PBF, WC and WHR in the participants of the observation group were lower than those in the control group, indicating the significant differences (all<0.05). The score of every dimension of HPLP-Ⅱ after treatment was higher than that before treatment in the participants of the observation group, indicating the significant differences (all<0.05); and the scores of health responsibility, sports and spiritual growth in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, indicating the significant differences (all<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The acupoint catgut embedding therapy improves in the postpartum weight retention and achieves the satisfactory clinical therapeutic effects.</p>
