RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and characteristics of depressive symptoms among urban elderly six years after Lushan earthquake in Ya'an, so as to provide references for the mental health interventions for elderly following catastrophic stressful life events. MethodsFrom March to April 2019, a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to enroll 885 urban elderly people aged 60 and above in Ya'an. A self-compiled questionnaire was used to collect the general demographic information, health-related and disaster-related information, meantime, the elderly was assessed using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30). Thereafter, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were applied to explore the influencing factors of depressive symptoms in urban elderly. ResultsA total of 783 valid questionnaires were collected, with a questionnaires response rate of 88.47%. Depressive symptoms were detected in 161 cases (20.56%). The prevalence of depression showed statistical differences among the elderly of different gender, age, marital status, family relationship, monthly per capita household income, physical exercise status, health status, self-care ability, sleep status and disaster-affected degree (P<0.05 or 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that the urban elderly of the female gender (OR=1.552, P=0.040), monthly per capita household income of 2000~3000 yuan (OR=6.982, P<0.01), monthly per capita household income≤2000 yuan (OR=6.857, P<0.01), lack of physical exercise (OR=1.693, P<0.01), being less capable of self-care (OR=3.838, P<0.01), being incapable of self-care (OR=8.547, P<0.01), complicating multiple curable diseases (OR=4.892, P<0.01) and complicating refractory chronic diseases (OR=5.657, P=0.031) were at high risk of depressive symptoms. The risk of depressive symptoms among the divorced or widowed elderly was greater than that among married elderly (OR=0.063, P<0.01). ConclusionThe prevalence of depressive symptoms is relatively high among the urban elderly six years after Lushan earthquake in Ya'an, moreover, female gender, low monthly per capita household income, lack of physical exercise, being incapable of self-care and poor health status are risk factors affecting the depressive symptom, while being married is a protective factor.
RESUMO
Objective To determine the contents of Poloxamer in contact lens care solution by spectrophotometric method,and investigate the effect of the other lubrication composition on the measurement. Methods Five brands of contact lens care solution with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC)were obtained.The interference of HPMC in contact lens care solution was removed by heating and rapid filtering,and the contents of Poloxamer was determined by KI-I_2 spectrophotometry. Results For the pre-treated contact lens care solution,the tested wavelength was 500 nm and the development time was 120 min.Favourable linearity was observed when Poloxamer ranged between 0.001 mg/mL and 0.020 mg/mL,with standard curve of Y=0.050 91X+0.017 15 and r~2=0.998 2.Precision(n=6)test revealed that RSD was 1.331 4%,and RSD of daytime repeatability experiment was 2.971 3%.The recovery rates of 80%,100%and 120% samples ranged between 90%to 105%. Conclusion KI-I_2 spectrophotometry is a convenient,stable and reliable method,and may sere as a mass control method for nonionic surfactant Poloxamer content in contact lens care solution.
