Objective To investigate the change of epithelium growth factor(EGF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), superoxide dismutese(SOD) and hemorrheology (HL) in patients with diabetic retinopathy.Methods EGF、TNF、SOD levels and HL changes have been measured in 30 NIDDM patients with retinopathy (DR group), 29 NIDDM patients without retinopathy (NDR group), and 29 patients with senile cataract and without diabetes as control (C group). Results The mean levels of EGF、TNF and blood viscosity were significantly higher in both DR and NDR group than those in C group; the mean levels of SOD was significantly lower in both DR and NDR group than that in C group. The EGF、TNF and blood viscosity was significantly higher in proliferative type DR than in background DR; The SOD was significantly lower in proliferative type DR than in background DR.Conclusion The development of diabetic retinopathy is related to the increase of EGF、TNF、blood viscosity and decrease of serum SOD.

Objective To explore the effect of 3M skin protective film combined with colostomy powder on dermatitis caused by bowl movement incontinence . Methods Sixty-three patients with fecal incontinence were randomly divided into observation group (n =32) and control group (n=31). The control group received routine nursing and the observation group was treated with 3M skin protective film combined with Cambel colostomy powder. The two groups were compared in terms of incidence and severity of incontinent dermatitis. Result The duration of dermatitis in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group, while the incidence of incontinent dermatitis and severity were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). Conclusion 3M skin protective film combined with Cambel colostomy powder can prevent incontinent dermatitis so as to relieve patients′pain. It is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Objective :
To investigate the status and influencing factors of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) among hypertensive patients, so as to provide the evidence for building and maintaining HBPM among hypertensive patients.
Methods:
Hypertensive patients hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University were sampled from July to December 2022, and subjects' general data, HBPM behaviors and cognition were collected using self-designed questionnaires. In addition, factors affecting regular HBPM were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 440 questionnaires were allocated, and 422 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.91%. The respondents included 234 males (55.45%) and 188 females (44.55%), and had a median age of 70 (interquartile range, 15) years. There were 239 respondents with regular HBPM (56.64%). Of 422 respondents, 68 had good cognition of blood pressure monitoring (16.11%), and 79.15% did not think regular changes of their blood pressure within 24 hours, while 72.04% did not think it necessary to measure blood pressure more than twice a day. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that recommendation of regular blood pressure monitoring by healthcare workers (OR=4.341, 95%CI: 2.493-7.560), number of blood pressure measurements according to real circumstances (OR=3.858, 95%CI: 1.358-10.961), recording of measurement results (OR=4.945, 95%CI: 1.863-13.129), provision of data to doctors at admission (OR=2.023, 95%CI: 1.173-3.488) and good cognition of blood pressure monitoring (good, OR=11.939, 95%CI: 3.972-35.886; general, OR=9.681, 95%CI: 5.157-18.172) resulted in a high possibility of regular HBPM among respondents.
Conclusion
Hypertensive patients with recommendation of regular blood pressure monitoring by healthcare workers, number of blood pressure measurements according to real conditions, recording of blood pressure measurement results, provision of blood pressure to doctors at admission and good cognition of blood pressure monitoring are more likely to have regular HBPM.

Objective To observe the effects of Suprasorb G and Suprasorb H on peripheral phlebitis above stage Ⅱ. Methods 64 patients with peripheral phlebitis above Stage Ⅱ were randomly divided into the observation group (36 patients) and the control group (28 patients). The observation group used Suprasorb G, and the control group used Suprasorb H. All cases were tested with the change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, the pain score, the red swelling of the skin and the palpable vascular cord. Results After treatment with Suprasorb H or Suprasorb G, there were significant differences in the change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, red swelling of the skin, pain score and the change of palpable vascular cord by self-contrast before and after treatment. Significant differences existed in change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, and red swelling of the skin and the change of palpable vascular cord at 48 and 72 hours, but no change was seen in pain score between 2 groups. Conclusions Suprasorb G and Suprasorb H beth show good effect in treatment of peripheral phlebitis, but Suprasorb G is better than Suprasorb H in improving the stage of peripheral phlebitis, also in reducing the area of red swelling of the skin and the palpable vascular cord with passage of time. But there is no difference in releasing of pain caused by peripheral phlebitis between them.
