Objective:To explore the relationship between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and periodontitis. Methods: 498 subjects were recruited in this study and were divided into three groups: mild periodontitis group (77, 15.5%), moderate periodontitis group (143, 28.7%), and severe periodontitis group (278, 55.8%). Clinical examination indexes included probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), plaque index (PLI) and the level of the alveolar resorption. Lung function of each subjects were also examined. Results: The levels of AL, PLI and alveolar resorption in COPD group were higher than non-COPD group. Significant differences of "FEV1% pre"(F=3.59,P=0.028) and "FEV1/FVC"(F=4.84,P=0.008) were found among different degrees of periodontitis. Negative relationship was found between the level of "FEV1% pre" and the periodontal index (AL, PLI, alveolar resorption), and the same relationship was found for "FEV1/FVC". Conclusion: Correlation is found between COPD and the periodontitis index (AL, PLI, alveolar resorption).

Objective Through the introduction and implementation of the tutor system to explore nursing practice of cultivating and management methods in operating room. Methods The theoretical knowledge,operation ability,comprehensive ability,and quality of work and so on before and after the implementation of tutor system for new nurse training were compared. Results Tutor system has obviously im-proved the comprehensive quality of new nurses,such as the interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to analyze and solve prob-lem independently. Conclusion The tutor system is beneficial to the interaction between teachers and students,thus enhancing the profes-sional identity of the operating room nurses,reducing the loss of the specialized nursing talents,improving the quality of nursing and setting up a new adapted teacher-and-students mode for teaching and training in the operating room. So it is worthy of extending application.

Objective To conduct an epidemiological investigation and analysis of pathogen spectrum infection in elderly patients with acute respiratory infection (ARI) in Hai'an area. Methods The throat swab specimens of 547 elderly patients with ARI collected in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected for analysis. The RT-PCR method was used to detect the pathogens in the specimens, and the epidemiological characteristics of each pathogen infection was analyzed. Results The positive detection rate of the 547 specimens was 47.71% (261/547). Among the 261 positive samples, 10 types of respiratory pathogens and mixed infections were detected, mainly including 91 cases of influenza virus (34.87%), 42 cases of enterovirus (16.09%), and 36 cases of rhinovirus (13.79%). March, December, and September were the peak periods of pathogen detection, in which influenza virus was detected the highest in March (48.08%), enterovirus was highest in September (40.00%), and rhinoviruses was detected throughout the year. There was no significant difference in pathogen spectrum characteristics between different gender and age (P>0.05). Conclusion Influenza viruses, enteroviruses, and rhinoviruses are the main pathogens of infection in elderly patients with ARI in Hai’an area. Influenza viruses are high in spring and winter, and enteroviruses are high in autumn.
