Objective To investigate the effect of family atomization on infant asthmatic disease.Methods Six hundred and eighty children with asthmatic disease were divided into control group and treatment group in equal number according to their cooperation in treatment.The control group received atomizing inhalation at the outpatient department and the treatment group received family atomization.The therapeutic effects between two groups were investigated and compared.Results The therapeutic effect in treatment group was significantly better than that in control group(P<0.05).There were no apparent adverse reactions such as hoarseness and oral fungal infection in both groups during the course of treatment.Conclusions The therapeutic effect of family atomization is obviously effective in treating infant asthmatic disease.In addition,the children's compliance is good and their parents are willing to accept,and therefore it deserves clinical generalization bedsides its simplicity in use and less cost.

The residents who had lived for at least 5 years and aged over 20 years old were sampled from urban to rural districts of Jiangsu Province with a stratified cluster sampling technique. B mode ultrasonography and thyroid function determination were carried out in 6 128 persons. The location, diameter, number, boundary, and calcification in thyroid nodules were described by using 7.5 MHz/50 mm transducer of thyroid ultrasonography. TSH was measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Free triiodothyronine(FT3)and free thyroxin(FT4)were measured when TSH was abnormal. The crude prevalence of thyroid nodules was 21.12% in total population, 14.55% in male, and 25.24% in female. The standardized prevalence was 15.69%, 11.20%, and 20.40%, respectively. The prevalence was lower in male than in female, and increased with age(P＜0.05). Thyroid nodules in Jiangsu Province were highly prevalent and more attention should be paid to the follow-up, early diagnosis, and treatment.
