Atherosclerotic occlusive disease is a chronic arterial occlusive disease caused by atherosclerotic lesions of the arteries, which mainly infringes on large and medium-sized arteries such as the lower end of the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries and femoral arteries. As a result of atherosclerotic plaques, degeneration of the middle layer of the arteries and secondary thrombosis, the lumen is gradually occluded, causing ischemia in the lower limbs. The age of onset of this disease is mostly between 50 and 70 years old. Male patients are more common than female patients, and female patients only account for about 20%. According to the development of the disease, it can be divided into four stages: mild complaint stage, intermittent claudication stage, resting pain stage, and tissue gangrene stage. Guo Xueli, Department of Vascular Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University The earliest symptoms of the disease are coldness, numbness and intermittent claudication of the affected limbs. With the progress of the disease, the ischemia of the affected limb is aggravated, and persistent resting pain will appear in the toes, foot or calf in a quiet state, which is more intense at night, and the patient often sits with his feet in his arms and stays awake all night. The most total leads to tissue hypoxia necrosis. The ancient Chinese medicine book “Nei Jing” cloud: do not treat already sick treatment. Indeed, prevention is cure, for the prevention of atherosclerosis occlusive disease is the most important is to prevent or treat induced diseases, and nutrition and exercise occupies an important position: 1, prevention of hyperlipidemia. To develop good eating habits, control animal fat intake, minimize the consumption of animal offal, cream, egg yolks and other high cholesterol foods, more vegetables, fruits, such as found to be suffering from hyperlipidemia to take long-term lipid-lowering drugs. 2, to prevent hypertension, people over 40 years old should often measure blood pressure, control weight, reduce the burden on the heart, self-regulation of nerve function, maintain stable mood, avoid emotional excitement. Control salt intake, appropriate physical activity, ensure the time and quality of sleep. 3.Diabetes prevention. Control sugar intake, should not eat too much sweet food every day, often test blood sugar, found to be suffering from diabetes should be timely treatment, treatment includes scientific control of the amount of diet and diet type, food to vegetables, soy products as the main, pasta, rice as a supplement. 4, completely quit smoking. Smoking has many harmful effects on the human body. Smoking can make the human body peripheral small arteries, micro-arteries continue to spasm, prompting atherosclerosis occurs, so that the endothelial damage, lumen narrowing, and ultimately make the small and medium-sized arteries occluded, resulting in ischemic symptoms of the limbs. 5.Participate in outdoor activities to promote blood circulation in the limbs. Outdoor activities are the most convenient way for the elderly, but the amount of activity should be moderate. Should not participate in excessive heart burden of strenuous activities. Walking, tai chi, old age gate ball, elderly fitness dance, etc. are suitable for the body blood circulation, but not excessive increase in the burden on the heart, is worth advocating the sports activities. 6, timely diagnosis and treatment, bureger movement. Already atherosclerosis patients, the need for timely diagnosis and treatment, pay attention to the observation of symptoms and signs of change, annual review ultrasound examination. Exercises for the affected limbs (Buerger exercises) can help promote the establishment of collateral circulation in the affected limbs and increase the blood supply to the affected limbs. The method is to lie down with the affected limb elevated by 45° for 1 to 2 minutes. Then sit up and lower the affected limb to the side of the bed for 2 to 5 minutes, and perform foot rotation, extension and flexion movements 10 times. Finally, put the affected limb flat and rest for 2 minutes. Repeat the exercise 5 times each time and practice several times a day. Arteriosclerosis is a common and frequent disease in the middle-aged and elderly, and the development of the disease can be effectively prevented by adopting good dietary and nutritional habits and scientific exercise in weekday life.
