OBJECTIVETo study the characteristics of the effect of different temperatures on mortality of different cities through analyzing the relationship between mortality and meteorology of five Chinese cities.

METHODSWe get the demography and climate data of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing and Changsha cities from National Center of Disease Control and Prevention and Climate net respectively. Then we applied the R software and Distributed Lag Non-linear Models (DLNM) package to analyze our data and find the nonlinear and lag effects on mortality using DLNM.

RESULTSThe city of Beijing and Tianjin are located in the temperate zone. And the climate of Shanghai, Nanjing, Changsha belong to subtropical monsoon climate. When the daily mean temperature arrived 30°C and on lag 0 day, the values of relative risk of effect of high mean temperature on mortality in Nanjing (1.31, 95%CI: 1.21 - 1.41) and Changsha (1.25, 95%CI: 1.13 - 1.39) are larger than that in Beijing (1.18, 95%CI: 1.12 - 1.25), Tianjin (1.18, 95%CI: 1.10 - 1.26) and Shanghai(1.15, 95%CI: 1.06 - 1.24). While the relative risk of effect of low mean temperature on mortality is lower and lasts for a longer lag time. During the whole lag time, the relative risk of effect of the lowest daily mean temperature of each city on mortality in Tianjin, Changsha, Beijing, Nanjing, and Shanghai is 3.41, 95%CI: 1.60 - 7.27, 2.15, 95%CI: 1.11 - 4.15, 2.24, 95%CI: 1.12 - 4.48, 2.80, 95%CI: 1.75 - 4.48, 1.53, 95%CI: 1.12 - 2.03, respectively. The cumulative effect of mean temperature on mortality appears like a U-shape. When on lag 0-1 day, the value of relative risk of effect of extremely high temperature and the highest mean temperature on mortality is larger than 1. While the effect of low temperature on mortality becomes obvious after lag 2 days.

CONCLUSIONDepending on this research, extremely low temperature and the lowest mean temperature has a more obvious impact on mortality in the northern area than in the south. Extremely high temperature and the highest daily mean temperature is on the contrary. Meanwhile, different temperatures have different impacts on mortality in the same city: high temperature has an acute impact while there is a longer lag time in low temperature.

Objective To investigate the relationship between multiple blood indexes and frequent exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods 102 patients with COPD were selected and divided into frequent exacerbation group (≥ 2 times/year, 55 patients) and infrequent exacerbation group (< 2 times/year, 47patients), according to the frequency of acute exacerbation in one year. The relationship between multiple indicators in blood routine and blood gas analysis and frequent exacerbation of COPD was explored by independent sample t test, 2 test, and multiple Logistic regression analysis. A retrospective study was conducted. Results Neutrophils count (NEU), neutrophils ratio (Neut%), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) of frequent exacerbation group were significantly higher than those of infrequent exacerbation group, while lymphocytes (LY), lymphocytes ratio (LY%) were lower (All P<0.05). OR(95% CI) of NLR was 3.483(1.170-10.373)，and OR(95% CI) of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery (PaCO2) was 1.124(1.053-1.201).NLR and PaCO2 were risk factors for frequent exacerbation of COPD. Increase of NLR and PaCO2 led to an increasing risk of frequent exacerbation of COPD ( All P<0.05). Conclusions The levels of NLR and PaCO2 in COPD patients with frequent exacerbation are higher than those in patients with infrequent exacerbation. As a consequent, NLR and PaCO2 could be considered risk factors for frequent exacerbation of COPD.

OBJECTIVETo explore the health-related quality of life (QOL) status of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps.

METHODSOne hundred and twenty patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps and two hundred individuals passing health examination were enrolled by random and their QOL scores were assessed by using QOL instruments including existing SF-36 questionnaire (Chinese version ) and SNOT-20 questionnaire translated into Chinese, of which clinimetric and psychometric properties were tested.

RESULTSThe feasibility, reliability, validity, and responsibility of Chinese version of SNOT-20 questionnaire all passed the test. By the assessment of SF-36 questionnaire, it revealed that scores of six domains such as physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, mental health, vitality, and general health from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps were lower than that of control group except social functioning and role emotional (P < 0.05). It showed by Chinese version of SNOT-20 questionnaire that patients exceeded healthy individuals in the scores of twenty items of three domains including physical problems, functional limitations, and emotional consequences, of which the most five important items affecting health status were respectively need to blow nose, thick nasal discharge, lack of a good night's sleep, dizziness, and post-nasal discharge (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSQOL instruments such as Chinese version of SF-36 and SNOT-20 questionnaires can effectively differentiate the QOL status between patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps and healthy individuals. The negative impact of chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps on patients' QOL includes physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, mental health, vitality, general health, and emotional consequences. The problems of nasal discharge, sleep, and dizziness should be sufficiently emphasized in clinical treatment.
