Objective:To compare the clinical effects of the two methods in surgical treatment of gynecomastia.Methods:The clinical data of 46 patients with gynecomastia were retrospectively analyzed, who received total removal of the glands through mastoscopic assistance (mastoscopic group) or traditional areola incision (traditional group) from Mar. 2017 to Mar. 2018. The two groups were compared in terms of blood loss, the mean operation duration, extubation time, the average hospitalization time, postoperative complications, the total cost and patients’ satisfaction at 6 month after operation. Chi-square test was used to compare the count data between groups, paired t test was used to compare the measurement data between groups, and SPSS18.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis.Results:The operation was completed in both groups. There were no differences between the two group in age (0.473) , BMI (0.353) , lesion location (0.198) , Simon classification (0.683) , the mean blood loss ( P=0.999) , mean operation duration ( P=0.596) , extubation time ( P=0.755) , the average hospitalization time ( P=0.676) , postoperative complications and ( P=0.370) or the total cost ( P=0.486) . The difference of patients’ satisfaction at 6 month after operation had statistical significance ( P=0.012) . conclusion:Compared with traditional open surgery, mastoscopic surgery for gynecomastia is minimally invasive, beautiful and safe, which can be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the influence of medication compliance of chronic type 2 diabetes management patients on disease control in two communities in Kunming.Methods A total of 138 patients with type 2 diabetes who were included in chronic disease management in Guandu and Xiaobanqiao communities of Kunming were selected from December 2021 to September 2022.Basic information collection and HbAlc and other related tests were improved.A questionnaire survey of 8-item Morisliy medication adherence scale(MMAS-8)was conducted to analyze the levels of HbAlc and other indexes of three groups with high(group A),medium(group B),and low(group C)adherence,and to conduct statistical analysis.Results Group A accounted for 22.5%,group B for 44.9%,and group C for 32.6%.There were significance differences in urinary albumin creatinine ratio(UACR),HbA1c and blood creatinine among the three groups(P<0.05).The levels of UACR,HbAlc and serum creatinine in group A were lower than those in group B and group C,and there was a negative correlation between UACR,HbAlc and serum creatinine and medication compliance rate(P<0.05).Conclusion In the Guandu Community and Xiaobanqiao community of Kunming,only 22.5%of patients with chronic type 2 diabetes had high medication compliance.The higher the compliance,the lower the level of UACR,HbAlc and serum creatinine,there is a correlation between the two,suggesting that medication compliance should be regarded as one of the key points in the management of chronic diabetes mellitus in the community,and the intervention of patients'medication compliance should be strengthened.
