Objective To investigate the association between pet ownership and lung function in children without asthma,and to provide scientific basis for the improvement of lung function in children. Methods Data was drawn from the cross-sectional study ,the clusters were randomly selected from 1 to 2 junior middle schools and primary schools in 24 administrative regions of seven cities in Liaoning Province. The ATS questionnaire survey was performed,and lung function including the forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),forced vital capacity (FVC),maximal mid-expiratory flow(MMEF)and peak expiratory flow(PEF)was measured by utilizing portable electronic spirometers. Results In this study ,about 6280 children without asthma aged 7 ~ 14 years were enrolled,49.47 % of the children was male. The average lung function of FVC,FEV1,PEF and MMEF was (2.63±0.75)L,(2.47 ± 0.70)L,(4.80 ± 1.42)L/s and(3.37±1.05)L/s,respectively. By adjusting confounding fac-tors,we found pet ownership in the first 2 years of life was significantly associated with the predicted lung function impairment of FVC<85%(aOR=1.30;95%CI:1.01~1.67);current pet ownership was significantly associated with the predicted lung function impairment of FVC < 85%(aOR = 1.32;95% CI:1.09 ~ 1.61),the predicted FEV1<85%(aOR=1.47;95%CI:1.19~1.83),the predicted PEF<75%(aOR=1.48;95%CI:1.16~1.88) and the predicted MMEF<75%(aOR=1.35;95%CI:1.09~1.66). The in utero exposure was not related to lung function impairment. Conclusion Pets ownership has damaging effects on lung function in children without asth-ma,and it reduces FVC,FEV1,PEF and MMEF in children.

Objective To study the adverse effects of outdoor air pollution on children's respiratory system health in Anshan city. Methods 1951 children were randomly selected from three areas with different degree of air pollution in Anshan city. The parents of the children were asked to answer a questionnaire about their children's respiratory health and home environment. The data of health were collected included persistent cough, persistent phlegm, asthma, current asthma, wheeze, and wheeze symptom. Results The prevalence rates of persistent cough, persistent phlegm, asthma, current asthma, wheeze and wheeze symptom were 9.48%, 4.82%, 1.33%, 0.92%, 6.30% and 4.97% respectively. Outdoor air pollution was a risk factor for persistent cough and persistent phlegm. The respiratory symptoms increased as the house became near to the main traffic lines. Combined effect of susceptible factor and outdoor air pollution was obvious, the prevalence rates of respiratory diseases were higher in the susceptible children who were influenced by the other risk factors compared with those who were not influenced by the same factors. Conclusion Outdoor air pollution is an important factor which will damage children's respiratory system in Anshan city.

Objective:To investigate the effect of chronic ethanol consumption on sensory information transmission in the cerebellar molecular layer and reveal the mechanism of chronic alcoholism on sensory information transmission and integration in the cerebellar cortex.Methods:Fifty healthy male ICR mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into saline group(control group)and ethanol consumption group(alcohol group) according to the random number table, with 25 mice in each group.The mice in alcohol group were injected intraperitoneally with 20% ethanol daily, while the mice in control group were injected with the same dose of normal saline. All mice were injected intraperitoneally once a day for 28 days.Through electrophysiological technology, patch-clamp amplifier and data acquisition software were used to record the changes in cerebellar molecular layer field potential of mice in the alcohol group and control group induced by sensory stimulation.Clampfit 10.3 software was used to record and analyze the electrophysiological data. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Paired t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the differences before and after treatment. Results:After giving the stimulation of wind blowing, the amplitude of P1 in alcohol group was significantly higher than that in control group ((121.31±3.5)%, (97.2±2.7)%; t=26.08, P<0.05), and the area under the P1 curve (AUC) of the alcohol group was significantly lower than that of the control group ((127.1±4.2)%, (102.2±3.5)%; t=22.95, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in N1 amplitude between the two groups (P>0.05). When L-NNA, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, was perfused into the brain surface of mice, the amplitude of P1 in alcohol group was significantly lower than that before administration ((76.2±4.8)%, (103.5±3.6)%; t=22.60, P<0.05), but there was no difference of the amplitude of P1 before administration and after elution ((101.5±4.6)%) ( t=1.70, P>0.05). After the L-NNA was perfused, the AUC of P1 was significantly lower than that before administration((72.4±5.6)%, (102.7±2.66)% ( t=24. 58, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between before administration and after elution( (100.6±3.5)%, t=1.81, P>0.05). When L-NNA was perfused into the brain surface of mice, the amplitude of P1 in control group was (104.3±1.6)% and it had no differences compared with before administration(102.2±5.6)%, t=1.84, P>0.05) and after elution(102.5±4.5)%, t=1.92, P>0.05). And the AUC of P1 in control group after perfused L-NNA had no differences compared with before administration(103.5±2.6)%, (102.5±4.6)%) and after elution((101.9±3.7)%, t=0.99, 1.81, both P>0.05). When the mouse brain surface was perfused with NO donor SNAP, the amplitude of P1 in the control group was significantly higher than that before administration( (128.2±3.4)%, (103.5±2.6)%; t=28.89, P<0. 05) and there was no difference between before administration and after elution( (105.4±4.2)% , t=1.93, P>0.05). The AUC of P1((125.4±4.4)%) was higher than before administration((104.3±4.6)% , t=16.60, P<0.05) and there was no difference between before administration and after elution(103.5±4.2)%, t=0.65, P>0.05). Conclusion:Chronic ethanol consumption significantly enhances the inhibitory response, and the enhancement of inhibitory components stems from the activation of the NO signaling pathway.

Objective To study the influence of exposure factors on posttraumatic stress disorder( PTSD) and Posttraumatic Growth( PTG) in middle school students in disaster area four years after the Wenchuan earth?quake . Methods 1 526 students from four schools in Worst?Hit Areas were investigated with Self?compiled Earth?quake Exposure Factors Questionnaire,Posttraumatic Growth Inventory( C?PTGI) and Impact of Event Scale( IES?R). Data were analyzed by ANOVA and multiple linear regression analysis.Results The score of IES?R had sig?nificant difference between different levels of all exposure factors(F=5.75~89.10, P<0.05) ,and students with high exposure level((26.68±14.66),(26.80±15.56),(27.83±14.62),(29.02±15.36),(27.77±15.74),(26.74± 15.63),(25.43±14.32),(29.51±14.36)) had heavier symptoms of PTSD than those with low exposure level ((22.84±13.96),(23.98±13.99),(23.63±14.21),(23.53±13.96),(23.64±13.83),(24.24±14.15),(21.27± 14.35),(17.54±13.34)). Only exposure factors of having witnessed someone injured and having close friends se?riously injured or being killed could significantly influence the score of PTGI(F=11.82, P=0.001;F=6.23, P=0.013). Regression analysis showed that five exposure factors (grade,having felt scared,having family members being killed,having close friends seriously injured or being killed,having witnessed someone injured) had signifi?cant effect on IES(ΔR 2=0.141) ,but only one factor( having witnessed someone injured) had weak effect on PTG (ΔR 2=0.007).Conclusion Exposure factors can predict posttraumatic stress symptoms in middle school students in Wenchuan four years after the earthquake,and the emotion of fear is a strongest predictor,but they can not pre?dict posttraumatic growth.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of green tea-based cream at different con- centrations on photoaging and photo-immunosuppression. Methods Twenty healthy female volunteers were enrolled into this study with informed consent. Green tea-based cream with a mass fraction of 2%-5% (pre- pared by adding green tea extracts to an emollient formulation), excipient or green tea extracts alone were applied to six unexposed sites on the back of these volunteers. Thirty minutes later, these treated sites were subjected to solar-simulated ultraviolet irradiation (ssUVR) with a 1.5-fold minimal erythema dose once a day for 4 days. At 6, 24 and 48 hours after the last irradiation, green tea-based cream were applied repeatedly to the corresponding sites. Biopsy specimens were obtained from the seven sites 72 hours following the last irradiation, and immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect cytokeratin 5/6 and 16 expression, as well as the densities of CDla- or HLA-DR-positive cells. Resttlts Green tea-based cream at a mass fraction of 2% to 3% could effectively prevent ssUVR-induced obvious erythema and hyperpigmentation. The posi- tivity (+) rates plus strong positivity (++) rates reached 50% and 25% for CK5/6 in the sites treated with ssUVR only and those irradiated and protected with green tea cream at a mass fraction of 3%, respectively, 69% and 31% in the sites treated with ssUVR only and those irradiated and protected with green tea-based cream at a mass fraction of 2%, respectively. Compared with the control site without irradiation or protec- tion, a decrease over 75% was noticed in the density of epidermal CD1a- or HLA-DR- positive Langerhans cells in the irradiated sites without protection, and green tea-based cream, especially those at a mass fraction of 3%, could effectively inhibit the density decrease. Conclusion Green tea extracts could effectively pro- tect skin from photoaging and photo-immunosuppression with the optimal mass fraction at 2% or 3%.
