Objective To explore the self-management behaviors of the patients with lumbar disc herniation. Methods Chronic disease self-management behavior measuring scale was used to investigate the self-management behaviors of 96 lumbar disc herniation patients. Results The score on self-management behaviors of the LDH patients was 20.42±7.52. 65.63%~84.38%of the patients took the wrong position at sitting, moving articles, and fetching articles from a low and high spot. 59.38%of them did not wear the waist supporter. 73.96%~95.83%of them did not follow the doctors' advice to sleep on hard bed, carry weights and keep the back warm. Conclusions The self-management behavior among LDH patients is dissatisfying. The nurses should provide patients with education on self-management behaviors, instructing them to take effective functional exercises, focusing on importance of cognitive symptom management in relieving pain and reducing negative emotion. Meanwhile, the nurses should advice patients to take right self-management behavior in daily life in order to promote the recovery of the function by patients' healthy behavior and life style.

Objective:To study the effectiveness and safety of combined intraoral and cutaneous using of long pulsed 1064 nm Nd∶YAG and 2940 nm Er∶YAG lasers in facial rejuvenation.Methods:Twenty-one female patients with different grades of nasolabial fold were treated with 6 sessions of the combination lasers therapy once a month. Standardized photographs of VISIA were taken before and after treatment to record any changes of facial contour and nasolabial folds. The efficacy assessment was judged by two non-group experienced dermatologists using modified Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale (MFWS), based on the VISIA photos at base line, twelve-week and six-month after treatment. Self-scoring of 5-level satisfaction from patients was also collected and analyzed. Any side effects and complications were recorded.Results:At 12 weeks, mild and moderate nasolabial folds were improved notably, the mean value of MFWS decreased from 1.59 to 0.90, whereas severe nasolabial folds had no remarkable improvement. Six-month after treatment, 18 patients had notable improved, among them: five out of 7 mild cases, 9 out of 10 moderate cases and 2 out of 4 severe cases, and the mean value of MFWS significantly decreased to 0.57 ( P<0.001). The general satisfactory rate of self-scoring was 86%. Two patients had tolerable light burning pain during treatment and two patients got temporary pigmentation that vanished in three months. There were no other adverse reactions and complications. Conclusion:Combined intraoral and cutaneous using oflong pulse 1064 nm Nd∶YAG laser and 2940 nm Er∶YAG laser is a safe and effective therapy for facial rejuvenation.

Objective To investigate the incidence of fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients and its related factors.Methods A total of 289 patients on MHD between January 2016 and March 2017 in hemodialysis centers of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University,Xinjiang Yili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture Friendship Hospital,and Yili Prefecture Hospital were enrolled.Internationally standard fatigue rating scale(FAI)was applied to assess the incidence of fatigue in MHD patients,and subjective comprehensive nutrition assessment(SGA)protein energy wasting rating scale was used to assess protein energy wasting(PEW)conditions.All patients were divided into the fatigue group and the non-fatigue group according to the FAI score.The clinical data and the blood biochemical indicators in two groups were compared.The risk factors of fatigue in MHD patients were analyzed by logistic regression method.Results The incidence of fatigue was 83.0%in MHD patients,and the rate of PEW was 62.6%.Blood total cholesterol in the fatigue group was lower than that of the non-fatigue group(P < 0.05).The difference between SGA scores of two groups had statistical significance(P < 0.001).Single factor logistic regression analysis results showed that higher SGA score(OR=1.312,95%CI:1.163-1.481,P < 0.001),lower blood total cholesterol(OR=0.661,95%CI:0.496-0.880,P=0.005)were risk factors of fatigue in MHD patients.Multivariable logistic regression analysis results showed that higher SGA score(OR=5.286,95%CI:2.078-13.442,P < 0.001)was an independent risk factor of fatigue in MHD patients.Conclusions The incidence of fatigue and PEW are high in MHD patients.PEW is an independent risk factor of fatigue in MHD patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and genetic features of children with papillorenal syndrome caused by PAX2 gene mutation.Methods Clinical manifestations,imaging changes and sequencing data were collected and analyzed from a family with papillorenal syndrome who were diagnosed in Wuhan Children's Hospital in February 2018."PAX2","papillorenal syndrome" and "renal coloboma syndrome" were used as key words to search in China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wangfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,PubMed and Human Gene Mutation Database up to April 2018.Results A ten years old girl was admitted due to "edema and urine output decreased for one week".Lab showed BUN 25.30 mmol/L,Scr 766.5 μmol/L,Urine protein 3.6 g/24 h.Imaging examination showed bilateral vesical and ureter reflux combined with left duplex kidney and duplication of ureter.Developmental dysplasia of the left hip was also found.The father of the patient had been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease for 10 years and on hemodialysis for 6 years.Next generation sequencing revealed that both the father and daughter carried a heterozygous nonsense mutation in the exon3 c.219C > G(p.Y73X) of PAX2.No Chinese literature ever was reported about papillorenal syndrome.Ninety-four articles in English were retrieved and 177 patients with papillorenal syndrome were confirmed by gene analysis with a total of 92 PAX2 variants.Ten nonsense mutations had been reported.Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) never be reported before.Conclusion Papillorenal syndrome caused by PAX2 mutation can mainly manifest as abnormal development of both kidney and optic nerve,which may be accompanied by other systemic abnormalities,it is rarely reported in China.DDH may be a new phenotype of papillorenal syndrome.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between peritoneal thickness and baseline solute transport function in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and analyze the factors affecting the function of peritoneal transport.Methods:Non-diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients admitted to the Second Hospital of Longyan City from January 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled in this study. The thickness of the peritoneal membrane was measured by color ultrasound instrument before the peritoneal catheterization. Standard peritoneal equilibration test (PET) was performed after one month of peritoneal dialysis. The ratio of corrected creatine in 4 h dialysate to 2 h serum creatine (D/Pcr) was used as a solute baseline transport index, and according to the D/Pcr evaluation results, the patients were divided into high/high average transfer (H) group (D/Pcr≥0.65) and low/low average transfer (L) group (D/Pcr<0.65). The clinical data, peritoneal thickness and peritoneal dialysis related indicators between the two groups of patients were compared. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the function of peritoneal transport.Results:The amount of peritoneal ultrafiltration in H group was significantly lower than that in L group, intraperitoneal creatinine clearance (Ccr) and peritoneal thickness were significantly higher than those in L group (both P<0.05). Pearson and Spearman correlation results showed that the thickness of peritoneal membrane positively correlated with D/Pcr ( r=0.673, P<0.05), peritoneal Ccr ( r=0.261, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with ultrafiltration of peritoneal dialysis ( r=-0.365, P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis showed that the peritoneal thickness was positively correlated with the solute transport index D/Pcr ( r=0.539, P<0.05) and the peritoneal Ccr ( r=0.338, P<0.05). Binary logistic regression results showed that peritoneal thickening was a risk factor affecting peritoneal transport function ( OR=1.175, 95% CI 1.009-1.369, P<0.05). Conclusions:There is a positive correlation between the peritoneal membrane thickness and the baseline solute transport index in patients with non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal thickening is a risk factor affecting peritoneal transport function.
