Objective: To explore the cognitive level and the mental status of the patients suffering from perimenopausal syndrome in Shanghai, and to identify the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome distribution feature of perimenopausal syndrome. Methods: The cognitive level of the perimenopausal women was evaluated by using general living problem questionnaire. The mental status of the perimenopausal women was evaluated by using self-rating depressive scale. The traditional Chinese medicine syndrome distribution feature of perimenopausal syndrome was identified by using traditional Chinese medical symptoms questionnaire. Results: A total of 634 perimenopausal women finished the investigation. There were 74.76% (474/634) patients who knew little about the perimenopausal syndrome; 77.29% (490/634) patients had a depressive tendency; 8.36% (53/634) patients had depressive disorder. There were 72.40% (459/634) patients who had the symptoms such as susceptibility to anger and restlessness, restless sleep at night, thirst with dry throat and bitter taste, and all these symptoms could be classified into hyperactivity of heart and liver fire syndrome. Conclusion: Patients suffering from perimenopausal syndrome know little about this disease and mostly have depressive tendency, and the major traditional Chinese medicine syndrome pattern is hyperactivity of heart and liver fire based on the chief clinical manifestations of the patients.

Objective To explore the problems of health poverty faced by a special group of people with disabilities and the difficulties in the practice of health poverty alleviation, so as to provide a scientific basis for the health poverty alleviation of the disabled. Methods A self-made questionnaire was used for one-to-one survey, and a database was established by Excel. SPSS was used for descriptive analysis and horizontal comparison. Results The participation rate of basic medical insurance for the disabled was relatively high (93.40%), and the medical insurance payment was mainly paid by individuals (70.13%). The satisfaction of medical insurance was low (43.12%), and 84.64% of the disabled thought that their medical expenses were high. 45.22% of the families of disabled patients met the universal standard of catastrophic health expenditure. Compared with Shandong Province, the basic medical insurance coverage rate of the disabled in Hubei Province was slightly lower, the satisfaction rate of medical insurance was higher, and the proportion of catastrophic health expenditure of families was larger. The analysis of the results showed that the disabled people with a lower disability level, children and middle-aged with disabilities, the disabled people with less or more family members, and the disabled people without the minimum living subsistence allowances were not satisfied with the medical insurance. Conclusion The basic medical insurance in the two places has alleviated the difficulty of medical treatment for the disabled to a certain extent, but the family burden of diseases of the disabled was still heavy. The level of medical security for people with disabilities should be improved, and their economic burden of disease should be reduced, so as to improve the satisfaction of medical insurance.
