Objective Face-down positioning after vitrectomy and gas tamponade is still the standard position for patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.The study was to compare the nursing effects of face-down position and flexible position after vitrecto-my for the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods We investigated 120 cases of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in this study.All patients received vitrectomy with long-acting gas for tamponade, 60 patients in face-down position and 60 in the flexible position.Patients were followed up for 6 months.Observation was made on the rates of anatomical retinal reattachment and postoperative complications between the groups. Results The rates of anatomical retinal reattachment after surgery were 88.33%in the face-down position group and 100% in the flexible position group respectively.As to the satisfaction of position, the flexible position group was 100%, which was much higher than 41.67%in face-down position group(P<0.01). Conclusion Flexible position nurs-ing after vitrectomy and gas tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair is safe and effective.Flexible position can replace face-down position for the comfort of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after vitrectomy with gas tamponade.

Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and education level in Su-Xi-Chang area to provide evidence for healthcare policy making. Methods A clustered sampling of 6798 subjects from Su-Xi-Chang areas of Jiangsu Province was included. Questionnaires and physical examinations were completed to collect clinical data. Logistic regression was used to analyze weather education level could be an independent risk factor of MS. Results Significant differences were found in waist circumstance (WC) ,systolic blood pressure (SBP) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) among participants with different education level. Significant differences were also existed in triglyceride and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between subjects with higher and lower education level ( P＜0. 05 ). In single-factor or multivariate analysis, education level was negatively correlated with the prevalence of MS (P＜0. 05 ). Conclusions Education level may be an independent risk factor of MS. People with low and moderate education level have higher risk of MS. Therefore,it is recommended that health-related information should become an integral part of the compulsory education system.

Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and diet style in the elderly. Methods The 781 old people were consecutively selected. Related data were collected by means of questionnaires and physical examinations. And logistic regression was performed to analyze if moderate and high fat diet were risk factors of MS. Results The total prevalence rate of MS in old people was 40. 7%, with 36.7% in old males and 55.4% in old females,and the prevalence rate of MS was higher in old women than in old men (P=0. 000). The significant differences in waist circumferences among three groups of low, moderate and high-fat diet [(86.0±9.3) cm vs. (88.8±8.5) cm vs. (90. 0±7.9) cm, respectively (all P＜0.05)]were found. Fasting blood glucose showed a significant difference between two groups of low and high-fat diet, with the results of (5.78 ± 0.98) mmol/L and (6.27 ± 1.80) mmol/L, respectively ( P＜0. 05 ). The logistic regression analysis showed that odds ratio for people with moderate and high-fat diets were 1. 541 ( 1. 092-2. 174) and 2. 293 ( 1. 317-3. 994), respectively (P＜0.05), which indicated that moderate and high-fat diet was independent risk factors for MS in old people. Conclusions Both moderate and high-fat diets are risk factors of MS in old population, low fat diet with food balance is recommended to old population in order to decrease the prevalence of MS.

Objective To investigate the relationship between blood pressure variability (BPV) and neurological deteri?oration (ND) during the acute phase in patients with hypertensive minor ischemic stroke. Methods A total of 200 hyperten?sive patients with acute minor ischemic stroke were recruited in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: stable group (n=182) and deterioration group (n=18) according to the neurological prognosis. Values of BPV in 24 h ambulatory blood pressure, 24 h systolic blood pressure variation coefficient (24 h CVSBP), 24 h diastolic blood pressure variation coeffi?cient (24 h CVDBP), day time systolic blood pressure variation coefficient (dCVSBP), day time diastolic blood pressure variation coefficient (dCVDBP), night time systolic blood pressure variability (nCVSBP) and night time diastolic blood pressure variability (nCVDBP) were compared between two groups. The related factors of BPV were analyzed by binary logistic method in the acute phase of patients with hypertensive minor ischemic stroke. Results There were significantly higher levels of 24 h CVSBP [17.75%(17.54%,19.26%) vs 12.78% (10.67%,14.39%)], 24 h CVDBP [25.48%(20.77%,27.87%) vs 17.95% (14.88%, 21.46%)], dCVSBP [18.61%(17.65%,20.65%) vs 12.30%(10.10%,14.75%)], dCVDBP [25.65%(21.25%,29.78%) vs 17.76%(14.89%,22.19%)] in deterioration group than those of stable group (P<0.01). Results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that values of 24 h CVSBP and dCVSBP were risk factors for neurological deterioration in the acute phase of patients with hypertensive minor ischemic stroke. Conclusion The increased 24 h BPV and day time BPV are correlated with neurologi?cal deterioration during the acute phase in hypertensive minor ischemic stroke patients. BPV should be concerned in the acute phase and secondary prevention in patients with ischemic stroke.

Objective To study the relationship of plasma aeylation stimulating protein (ASP) with complement C3, C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood lipid levels in women with polyeystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods Thirty-four patients with PCOS were divided into two groups: obese PCOS group [body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2] and non-obese PCOS group (BMI<25 kg/m2). 41 age-matched non-PCOS women were also divided into two groups: simply obese group (BMI≥25 kg/m2) and non-obese control group (BMI <25kg/m2). Plasma ASP in the 4 groups was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.Complement C3 and CRP were determined by immunoturbidimetrie assay. Plasma free fatty acid (FFA)concentration was determined by colorimetric enzymatic assay, plasma triglycerides (TG) by GPO-PAP method and total cholesterol (TC) by COD-PAP method. Results The plasma ASP were significantly increased in the obese PCOS group, the non-obese PCOS group and the obese group as compared with the control group [(36.4±10.9,34.8±9.9, 35.1±14.0, 24.8±7.8) nmol/L, respectively, all P<0.05]. The concentrations of complement C3 were significantly higher in the obese PCOS group and the obese group than that in the control group [(2.2±1.2,2.5±1.5, 1.1±0.7) g/L, respectively, bothP <0.05]. The concentrations of CRP were significantly increased in the obese PCOS group, non-obese PCOS group and obese group as compared with the control group [(32.1±29.2, 30.0±24.8, 23.8±5.5, 7.5±4.8)mg/L, respectively, all P<0.05]. Univariate analysis showed that both plasma ASP and C3 were positively correlated with BMI, CRP, FFA and TG. CRP was positively correlated with BMI, FFA, TG and TC. Conclusion Plasma ASP, C3 and CRP levels in women with PCOS axe increased. They are strongly associated with disturbed lipid metabolism. The lack of association between ASP and complement C3 suggests that the conversion of C3 to ASP may be affected by other factors.
