Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(3):423-426
Objective:
To explore the prevalence of elevated blood pressure and overweight/obesity and their comorbidities among Tibetan middle school students in Lhasa, and to analyze their association with lifestyle and other factors, so as to provide a basis for the intervention measures targeting elevated blood pressure, overweight and obesity among middle school students in high altitude area.
Methods:
Using a stratified cluster random sampling method in September 2021, a total of 1 488 Tibetan junior and high students from Lhasa City were investigated with blood pressure measurement, physical examination and questionnaire survey. The influencing factors of elevated blood pressure, overweight and obesity and their comorbidities association were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.
Results:
The prevalence of elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity and their comorbidities were 17.8%, 17.4% , 5.0% respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR =0.81), residence, body mass inex(BMI) and gender were the influencing factors of elevated blood pressure; and the risks of elevated blood pressure in female students were higher than male students ( OR =1.89), suburban students were higher than urban students ( OR =8.06), overweight and obesity groups were higher than normal groups ( OR =2.55, 2.87) ( P <0.05). Adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, residence and school, and BMI (only for elevated blood pressure), daily screen time ≥2 h was positively correlated with elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity and its comorbidities ( OR =1.56, 1.59 , 2.51) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The prevalence of elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity are relatively high in Lhasa. Longer screen time is a common factor affecting with elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity and comorbidities among Tibetan students. Measures should be taken intervene in the lifestyle of Tibetan students, in order to reduce elevated blood pressure and overweight/obesity.

Objective:To explore the current status and training needs of nurses' knowledge, belief, and behavior regarding the good limb positioning in stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods:From November to December 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 1 708 nurses from 30 ClassⅢ hospitals in 17 provinces across the country, who worked in departments such as Neurology and Rehabilitation. The self-designed General Information Questionnaire, Knowledge, Belief and Behavior Questionnaire for Putting Good Limb Position in Clinical Nurses, and self-designed Training Status and Needs Questionnaire for Good Limb Positioning were used for online surveys. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of nurses' knowledge, belief, and behavior in good limb positioning.Results:A total of 1 622 valid questionnaires were collected. Nurses scored (135.64±25.93) on the Knowledge, Belief and Behavior Questionnaire for Putting Good Limb Position in Clinical Nurses, with the lowest score rate of 65.65% in the knowledge subscale and the highest score rate of 88.16% in the belief subscale. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, working years, department, and whether they received training were the influencing factors of nurses' knowledge, belief, and behavior in good limb positioning ( P<0.05). 92.23% (1 496/1 622) of nurses were willing to receive training on good limb positioning, and 70.10% (1 137/1 622) of nurses participated in training on good limb positioning. Conclusions:Nurses generally have a moderate level of knowledge, belief, and behavior towards the good limb positioning, with room for improvement in their knowledge and behavior. However, their belief is relatively positive. Nursing managers should actively carry out training on good limb positioning based on the different characteristics and needs of nurses, improve their ability to good limb positioning.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in children, and to investigate the factors influencing their prognosis.Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 128 children with IMN hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2012 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into 2 groups according to the pathological manifestations: group A[typical membranous nephropathy(MN) group] and group B (atypical MN group), and the clinicopathological characteristics of the 2 groups were compared.Different treatment regimens and their efficacy were summarized, and the prognosis and its influencing factors were analyzed.The primary endpoint event at follow-up was the occurrence of end stage renal disease (ESRD), and the secondary endpoint event was the occurrence of renal insufficiency.Children with IMN were further divided into endpoint event group and non-endpoint event group according to the presence or absence of endpoint events at the last follow-up.Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve method.The Cox proportional risk model method was used to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of poor kidney outcomes in children with IMN. Results:(1)A total of 128 children were included, with the male-to-female ratio of 1.13∶1.00.The median age of onset and peak age of onset were 13.0 (10.3, 15.0) years, and 12-16 years (68.8%), respectively.Massive proteinuria was detected in 119 cases (93.0%), including 103 cases (80.5%) with massive proteinuria and hematuria, 4 cases(3.1%) with simple hematuria, and 5 cases (3.9%) with non-renal proteinuria.There were 29 cases (22.7%) in group A and 99 cases (77.3%) in group B. (2)Blood triacylglycerol level was significantly higher in group B than that of group A[2.1 (1.5, 3.0) mmol/L vs.1.7(1.1, 2.5) mmol/L], while high-density lipoprotein[1.5(1.1, 1.8) mmol/L vs.1.8(1.4, 2.1) mmol/L], serum albumin[22.0(17.0, 27.3) g/L vs.25.5 (21.0, 32.5) g/L] and complement C3[(1.1±0.2) g/L vs.(1.2±0.2) g/L] were significantly lower in group B than those of group A (all P<0.05). (3)Complete clinical data during hospitalization and follow-up data were obtained from 91 children with IMN, with a median follow-up time of 87.0 (49.0, 104.5) months.Among them, 5 cases (5.5%) progressed to ESRD, involving 3 cases received renal transplantation, and 9 cases (9.9%) had secondary endpoints.Cumulative renal survival rate for ESRD at 5 and 10 years were 96.2% and 92.9%, respectively, which, for the secondary endpoints at 5 and 10 years were 95.2% and 84.8%, respectively.(4)Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed no significant difference in the cumulative renal survival between group A and group B ( P>0.05). Multifactorial Cox regression analysis showed that tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was an independent risk factor for renal insufficiency in children with IMN ( HR=0.102, 95% CI: 0.011-0.940, P<0.05). Conclusions:Massive proteinuria combined with hematuria is the major clinical manifestation of IMN in children, and atypical MN is the major pathological manifestation.Tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis is an independent risk factor for renal insufficiency in children with IMN.

【Objective】 To analyze the correlation between platelet distribution width (PDW) and hyperuricemia (HUA). 【Methods】 For this study we recruited 4 885 teaching and administrative staff of Xi’an Jiaotong University who took the physical examination in 2020 and met the requirements. The basic information, blood routine and serum biochemical index results were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Data were sorted by gender, and the serum UA level and the prevalence of HUA in different PDW quartiles were compared after dividing PDW into quartiles. The association of PDW with other indexes including age, serum biochemical indexes and blood routine indexes was analyzed. Then, the factors related to HUA in different genders were analyzed, and the independent influence of PDW on HUA was further analyzed. 【Results】 The serum UA level and prevalence of HUA were on the increase among different PDW quartiles both in two genders, and PDW level was positively correlated with serum UA level (P<0.05). In addition, PDW was correlated with age, fasting blood glucose, indicators related to liver and kidney function, and certain indexes of blood lipid and blood routine tests. Among the above indicators, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, creatinine, urea, white blood cell count, hematocrit, and blood lipid were all significantly associated with HUA in both genders (P<0.05). In addition, HUA significantly associated with platelet count in males (P<0.05), but with age, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin, red blood cell distribution width, and PDW in females (P<0.05). After excluding the above confounding factors, the risk of HUA in males with high levels of PDW was still significantly increased (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in females (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 PDW is correlated with HUA, and PDW may be an independent risk factor for HUA in males. However, further study is needed.

Objective:To explore the effect of family supportive nursing on self-perception and outcome events in elderly patients with chronic diseases.Methods:A simple random sampling method was used to select 115 elderly patients with chronic diseases discharged from Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2020. They were divided into the observation group (58 cases) and the control group (57 cases) by random number table method. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received family support nursing. The self-perception and family function scores of the two groups were compared before the intervention and after 3 and 6 months of the intervention. The medication compliance and readmission rate were compared between the two groups.Results:After 3 months of intervention, scores of Self-Perceived Burden (SPBS) of the observation group and the control group were respectively (25.73±3.85) and (28.14±3.90) and scores of Family Adaptability Cohesion Environment Scale (FACES) were respectively (105.62±12.41) and (96.35±10.05) . After 6 months of intervention, the SPBS scores of the observation group and the control group were respectively (21.89±4.33) and (25.41±4.20) , and the FACES scores were (122.60±14.70) and (112.35±16.32) respectively. Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that there were statistically significant differences in interaction effect, time effect and between-group effect in the comparison of SPBS and FACES total scores between the two groups (all P<0.01) . After 6 months of intervention, the rate of good medication compliance in the observation group and the control group was respectively 70.69% (41/58) and 50.88% (29/57) , and that of the observation group was higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.738, P=0.030) . After one-year follow-up after intervention, the readmission rates of the observation group and the control group were respectively 18.87% (10/53) and 39.22% (20/51) , and the observation group was lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=5.243, P=0.022) . Conclusions:Family support nursing can reduce the self-perceived burden of elderly patients with chronic diseases, improve their family function, improve medication compliance and reduce readmission.
