During this period, a total of 300 patients with high lipid profiles and difficulty in controlling lipid levels were recruited and equally divided into intervention and control groups. In the former group, apart from routine physician care, patients attended educational clinic visits conducted by a clinical pharmacist who assessed their lipid profiles and provided recommendations when goals were not met. Medication compliance and the proper use of drugs were assessed. Education on healthy lifestyles was reinforced. At the end of the study period, the intervention group achieved 23.6%, 15.3%, and 22.3% mean reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels respectively, compared to 3.7%, 5.2%, and 2.7% in the control group. A sustained reduction in total cholesterol of 1% is associated with a 2–3% reduction in CHD risk. Prof. Lee Wing-yan, Vivian, assistant professor, School of Pharmacy, pointed out that following pharmacist intervention, patients achieved a 30–45% reduction in the risk of CHD, compared to 10–15% in the control group. 2008阿虫月曆 CUHK 2008 Calendar by Ah Chung 學生事務處學生輔導及發展組 邀請了著名漫畫家阿虫,為中 大設計2008年月曆,藉12幅洋 溢生命力的插圖,鼓勵大家以 積極樂觀的心態尋找生命的喜 悅。歡迎教職員及學生於辦公 時間內憑職員證或學生證到范 克廉樓二樓學生輔導及發展組 索取。每人一份,數量有限, 送完即止。 該組亦預留部分月曆出售 ( 售價 每個30元,兩個50元 ) ,所得款項將用作推廣校園心理健康教育之用。 如有查詢,請致電2609 7208江小姐。 The Student Counselling and Development Service of the Office of Student Affairs invited famous local artist Ah Chung to design a 2008 calendar for CUHK.
