Objective To explore the relationship between quality of life and knowledge,beliefs,behavioral,pulmonary function outcomes in stable-stage patients with chronic obsturctive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Using the general data questionnaire,COPD assessment test (CAT),knowledge,attitude and behavior questionnaire to investigate 93 stable-stage COPD patients in urban and rural areas,and measure the level of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1％).Results CAT total score was (22.56 ± 6.40) points which was in severe level;knowledge,beliefs,behavior total score was (41.94 ± 8.20) points,and FEV1％ was (59.81 ± 7.64) ％.The CAT was negatively correlated with knowledge,beliefs,behavior total score and two dimensions of beliefs,behavior and FEV1％,r values were-0.262,-0.288,-0.217,-0.256 respectively,P ＜ 0.05.Conclusions The COPD patients in stable-stage have a high level of CAT.Targeted invention should be combined with the status of the knowledge,beliefs and behavior to improve the level of air flow,and quality of life of patients.

Objective To explore the possible causes and treatment of nonunion of fractures of diaphysis of radius and ulna. Methods According to different personal conditions and results of X gram, 73 cases of the nonunion fractures of diaphysis of radius and ulna were treated with different internal fixations, autologus spongy bone transplantation, release of scar and interosseous membrane, or local skin flap transposition. All had early functional mobilization of the forearm after operation. Results The patients were followed up for 12 to 29 months. All the cases had bony union, and 64 cases(87.7% ) obtained satisfactory functional rehabilitation. Conclusion The major causes that may lead to the nonunion of the diaphysis of radius and ulna are conditions of local soft tissue, site and severity of the fracture, security of internal fixation, and improper early movement, rather than infection. Proper internal fixation, autologus spongy bone transplantation, and release of scar and interosseous membrane are effective in treatment of the nonunion of the fracture and in the functional rehabilitation of the forearms.
