Summary Background Xanthelasma is the most common type of cutaneous xanthoma and often occurs on the eyelids. Xanthoma has been reported to be highly correlated with abnormal lipoprotein metabolism. Aims In this study, we wanted to investigate the effects of a high‐cholesterol diet on xanthoma formation and lipoprotein metabolism in rabbits. Methods In animals fed with high‐cholesterol diet, deteced plasma lipid [ie, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (L‐DLC)] levels and pathology of xanthoma. Results Plasma lipid levels were dramatically elevated within 8 weeks. In addition, high dietary cholesterol promoted xanthoma formation on the napex. Microscopic examination showed that foam cells laden with cholesterol deposits accumulated around the dermal capillaries and cutaneous appendages within the skin of the napex. Conclusion These findings indicate a critical role for a high‐cholesterol diet in the dysregulation of lipoprotein metabolism and the development of xanthoma in rabbits. The results suggest that abnormal lipid metabolism may increase the occurrence of xanthoma.
Objective To study the application of evidence‐based nursing in prosthesis postoperative complications. Methods A total of 78 cases of patients who underwent prosthetic breast augmentation were selected from July 2017 to July 2019. All the patients were divided into control group and study group according to the random number table method. The patients in the control group received routine nursing interventions, and the patients in the study group performed evidence‐based nursing interventions based on the control group's care. The mental health, external esthetic effects, and complications of the two groups were observed and compared. Results Before the implementation of nursing intervention, there was no significant difference in mental health indicators (SAS, SDS) between the two groups (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were lower than before the intervention, and the study group was lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05); before the implementation of nursing intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of HADS‐A and HADS‐D between the two groups (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the scores of HADS‐A and HADS‐D of the two groups were lower than those before the intervention, and the scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05); 94.9% (37 / 39) was better than 71. 8% (28 / 39) in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05), and the total incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was 5.1% (2 / 39), which was lower than 15.4% (6 / 39) in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Evidence‐based nursing intervention is effective in preventing postoperative complications of silicone breast augmentation prosthesis. It can effectively reduce postoperative complications, improve external esthetic effects, and improve the level of mental health of patients. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
