Objective To evaluate the application effect of elevating Yang moxibustion therapy in elderly female patients with stress urinary incontinence of kidney-Yang deficiency. Methods The elderly female patients with stress urinary incontinence in kidney-Yang deficiency were enrolled from a tertiary A hospital in Hangzhou between September 2019 and May 2021. By the random number table,they were divided into an experimental group(n=40) and a control group(n=40). The control group took pelvic floor muscle and bladder function training,the experimental group took the elevating Yang moxibustion on the basis of the control group for a course of 12 weeks,followed up to the 16th week. The daily urinary incontinence frequencies,1-hour urine leakage from pad test,ICI-Q-SF score and TCM syndrome score of stress urinary incontinence in kidney-Yang deficiency were compared between the 2 groups. Results At the 12th week of treatment,the difference in the number of daily incontinence between the 2 groups was statistically significant(t=-3.794,P<0.001);the decrease of urine leakage in 1-hour pad test in the experimental group was greater than that in the control group (Z=5.270,P<0.001);the ICI-Q-SF score(t=-3.297,P=0.001) and TCM syndrome score(t=-2.035,P<0.05) were compared between the 2 groups; the differences were statistically significant. At the 16th week of treatment,there were statistically significant differences in the number of daily urinary incontinence,ICI-Q-SF score and TCM syndrome score between the 2 groups. There were statistically significant differences in the number of daily urinary incontinence,ICI-Q-SF score and TCM syndrome score between the 2 groups at each time point(P<0.05). Conclusion Moxibustion with elevating Yang method can reduce the daily frequencies of urinary incontinence and the urine leakage amount of 1-hour pad test in elderly female stress urinary incontinence patients with kidney-Yang deficiency,reduce the score of ICI-Q-SF and TCM syndrome score,thus improving the symptoms of urinary incontinence,and the quality of life of elderly female patients.

Objective The aim of this study was to perform a meta-synthesis of findings of myocardial infarction(MI)patients’ experiences of recovery after returning to society. Methods We searched databases including the Cochrane Library,Joanna Briggs Institute Library,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,PsycINFO,CINAHL,CBM,WanFang,CNKI and VIP. All of the qualitative research on the real experience of MI patients returning to society after being discharged from the hospital were collected. The search time limit is from the establishment of the databases to November 2021. The JBI critical appraisal tool for qualitative research in Australia was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies,and the results were summarized and integrated by integrating methods. Results A total of 13 original studies were included. 47 findings were collected,and then the similar results were grouped into 11 new categories,and finally these categories were integrated into 3 synthesis results. Integration result 1:living with psychological loads,and the patients were facing physical and mental challenges. Integration result 2:reflecting on the value of life and strive to change one selves. Integration result 3:recognition of the world,and desire for outside help. Conclusion Although MI patients have been treated to save lives,they are still living under different degrees of pressure after discharging from the hospital. The future life is full of uncertainty,and each person’s coping ability is different. Health care workers and members of the public society need to pay more attention to their feelings and needs after returning to society,and to provide necessary health care knowledge and living skills to help them learn to coexist with the disease and better adapt to social lives.
