Objective: This study aims to discuss the clinical effect of the combined therapy of nifedipine controlledrelease tablets-valsartan on elderly patients who have Type II Diabetic Nephropathy (T2DN) with Hypertension (HTN). Methods: We recruited 130 elderly patients who have T2DN with HTN and who were admitted to our hospital over the period of April, 2015 to February, 2017. We divided the patients into the control (n=65) and observation groups (n=65) through the odd-even method. The control group received controlledrelease nifedipine tablets and the observation group received controlled-release nifedipine tabletsvalsartan. We compared the blood pressure level, total therapeutic efficiency, treatment satisfaction, and BUN level of the two groups. Results: The blood pressure level of the observation group significantly improved relative to that of the control group (P<0.05). The total therapeutic efficiency of the control group was 80.00%, which was significantly lower than that of the observation group (98.46%) (P<0.05). The treatment satisfaction of the observation group was 96.92%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (75.38%) (P<0.05). The BUN level of the observation group was considerably higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Elderly patients who received controlled-release nifedipine tablets-valsartan for the clinical treatment of T2DN with HTN exhibited significantly improved blood pressure level, total therapeutic efficiency, treatment satisfaction, and BUN levels. Therefore, the reasonable application of controlled-release nifedipine tablets-valsartan therapy can improve the life quality of elderly patients who have T2DN with HTN.
Objective: This study aims to discuss the effects of early rehabilitation nursing on the treatment compliance of and therapeutic effect to elderly patients with fracture of the lower limbs. Methods: A total of 140 elderly patients with fracture of the lower limbs admitted to our hospital from March 2015 to June 2016 were divided into the control group (n=70) and intervention group (n=70) by the ball-touching method. The control group was treated by conventional nursing, and the intervention group was provided with early rehabilitation nursing. Treatment compliance, HSS scores, Harris scores, and complications were observed and compared. Results: The control group has significantly lower treatment compliance than the intervention group (p<0.05). The intervention group has significantly higher HSS and Harris scores at 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation than the control group (p<0.05). The control group has significantly higher occurrence rate of complications than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: Early rehabilitation nursing plays an important role in the treatment compliance of and therapeutic effect to elderly patients with fracture of the lower limbs. Early rehabilitation nursing improved the knee and hip joint functions effectively and reduced the occurrence rate of complications. Early rehabilitation nursing is worthy of clinical reference and application.
