Objective:To explore the impact of intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding (IOE) on the nutritional status and prognosis of patients with dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, 210 patients with dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke who were treated at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into an observation group ( n=108) and a control group ( n=102) by the coin-tossing method. The control group was intervened with indwelling nasogastric tube method, while the observation group was treated with IOE. The clinical efficacy, nutritional indicators, scores of the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results:After the intervention, the total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the levels of albumin, pre-albumin, and hemoglobin in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the incidence of complications was lower than that of the control group. The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:For patients with acute ischemic stroke, IOE can improve the symptoms of dysphagia, enhance their nutritional level, and also reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective To investigate the effects of aging and the decreased glomerular filtration rate on the prevalence of anemia in elder receiving body check from urban area of Hefei, China.Methods A total of 4547 >60 years subjects received healthy examination in Healthy Center of Anhui Provincial Hospital from January 2005 to December 2007 were enrolled in this study.Anemia was defined as hemoglobin < 120 g/L in men or < 110 g/L in women.Results The prevalence of anemia in the subjects was 4.40% (95% CI: 3.83% -5.05% ) and significantly increased with the aging process and the decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR) .With logistic analyses, increasing age, female, decreased eGFR were major risk factors for anemia Conclusions The morbidity of anemia is 4.40% in old population receiving body check from urban area of Hefei, China.Aging and the decline of eGFR are the independent risk factors of anemia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adult population receiving body check from urban area of Hefei, Anhni. MethodsA total of 33 451 subjects who were older than 20 years and received healthy examination in Health Center of Anhui Provincial Hospital from January 2005 to December 2007 were enrolled in this study. CKD was defined as proteinuria, and/or hematuria, and/or using the simplified MDRD equation. ResultsThe prevalence of proteinuria was 2.74% (95%CI: 2.57%-2.92%), hematuria 7.67% (95% CI:7.39%-7.96%), and reduced eGFR 0.80%(95% CI:0.71%-0.90%). 9.92% (95% CI:9.60%-10.25%) subjects had at least one indicator of kidney damage. Age, female, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperuricemia were independently associated with CKD. ConclusionsThe prevalence of chronic kidney disease is 9.92% in adult population receiving body check from urban area of Hefei, Anhui. Independent risk factors associated with CKD are age, female, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperoricemia.
