Rheumatism is one of the more serious complications of rheumatism, with greater health risks for patients. The following are some of the key ways to prevent rheumatitis among persons with rheumatitis. 1. Active control of rheumatism is essential, and the use of improved rheumatism (DMARDs) is essential, in strict accordance with medical instructions. Such drugs can regulate the immune system, inhibit inflammation responses and fundamentally reduce the activity of rheumatism arthritis, thereby reducing the risk of its occurrence. For example, aminophorus, a cornerstone drug for the treatment of rheumatism, inhibits the growth of immune cells and the release of inflammatory media through folic acid metabolism that interferes with cells. Indicators such as blood protocol, liver and kidney function are periodically reviewed to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the drug, on a time- and rate-based basis. Biological agents are a good option for patients who are more seriously ill or who are less responsive to traditional DMARDs. Biological agents such as tumour necrosis (TNF-alpha) inhibitor (Adam, Inflius, etc.) and white cellulin-6 (IL-6) receptor (Tystem-syllable) can be better targeted at inflammation factors, more effective control of arthritis and reduction of vascular damage. However, in the use of biological agents, care should be taken to prevent infection, as such drugs may increase the risk of infection. Rational use of sugar cortex hormones may require short-term use of sugar cortex hormones to quickly control inflammation. However, the long-term high use of sugar cortex hormones increases the risk of rheumatitis and triggers a series of adverse reactions. Thus, sugar cortex hormones should be used with caution, under the guidance of a doctor, and as far as possible, small doses of short-term treatment should be used. In the course of their use, the changes in indicators such as blood sugar, blood pressure, blood resin, etc., are closely monitored, as are the prevention of complications such as osteoporosis.
A healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet are essential to prevent rheumatitis. Sufficient good quality proteins, such as skinny meat, fish, beans, etc., should be ingestion, which helps maintain normal body immune function and tissue restoration. Fresh vegetables and fruit, which are rich in antioxidating substances such as vitamin C, vitamin E and carrots, are capable of neutralizing and internal free radicals, mitigating inflammatory reactions and protecting vascular inner-skin cells. For example, vitamin C can facilitate the synthesis of gelatin protein and maintain the integrity of the vascular wall. Patients need to reduce intake of high salt, sugar and fat food. Highly salted foods can lead to increased blood pressure and an increased vascular burden; highly sugared foods can cause blood sugar fluctuations and inflammation; and high fats, especially saturated fats and trans-fats, can increase blood viscosity, affect blood circulation and increase the risk of vascular disease. Patients should be moderately motivated, which enhances body quality, improves joint function, promotes blood circulation and contributes to the prevention of rheumatitis. Patients of rheumatism are well suited to choose sports with lower joint stress, such as swimming, yoga, Tai Chi, etc. When swimming, water floats to reduce body weight pressure on joints, while body muscles are trained to improve body blood circulation. Yoga and Tai Chi are focused on body flexibility and co-ordinated training to enhance joint activity and muscle strength through various positions and movements. In the exercise, care should be taken to avoid overwork and joint damage. The strength of the exercise should be increased in accordance with the physical condition of the person, with proper warm-up activities, such as joint exercise, slow walking, etc., before the exercise; after the exercise, stretching and relaxation to prevent muscle stress and joint pain. In the event of increased joint pain, swelling or fatigue during the course of the exercise, the exercise shall cease immediately and shall be properly rested.
The patient needs self-monitoring and protection in his or her daily life, with cold irritation leading to a constriction of the blood vessels, a lack of blood circulation and a high risk of vascular inflammation. Patients with rheumatism should be kept warm, especially during cold seasons or in air conditioners. During outdoor activities, there is a need to wear adequate warm clothing such as hats, scarfs, gloves, knee protection, etc. The indoor temperature should be appropriate to avoid being too low. In addition to regular examinations for rheumatism-related arthritis (e.g. blood sank, C-reaction protein, joint imaging, etc.), care should be taken for vascular examinations. For example, regular vascular ultrasound checks are able to observe the thickness of the vascular wall, the flow of the cavity, etc. For patients with suspicious vascular symptoms such as skin, eye, etc., more detailed examinations may be required, such as skin work tests, end-of-eye examinations, etc., for early detection of vascular disease and timely treatment.
