Objective To investigate the clinical features and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)therapy of postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in children. Method Ten children, who had post-infectious BO from February 2009 to February 2010, received BAL therapy, and were retrospectively analyzed. The data included pathology,chnical feature,chest HRCT scan, BALF cellular, levels of blood T cell subtypes and outcome of BAL therapy. Results Adenoviruses or mycoplasma pneumoniae were the most common etiologic agents (4/10, respectively). All patients presented persistent or recurrent dyspneic respirations and wheezing since the initial lung infection. The findings of HRCT included mosaic pattern of perfusion (6/10), accompanied by gas retention,bronchiectasis, atelectasis and bronchial wall thickening. The percentage of neutrophils in BALF was significantly increased in all cases (10/10). There were predominance of CD8+ T cell subtype (9/10) and lower ratio of CD4 +/CD8+ ( 10/10)in blood. Reduced symptoms and shortened hospital stay of BO in 9 of all 10 cases were observed after BAL therapy. Conclusions Severe adenovirus or mycoplasma pneunoniae bronchiolitis and/or pneumonia has higher risk for developing BO in children. Increased percentage of neutrophils in BALF and predominance of CD8 +T cell subtype may play an important role in the mechanism of BO. BAL therepy can reduce the respiratory symptoms of BO in children.

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid among people in Changsha and to provide evidences for prevention and control of blood lipid abnormality. Methods: A total of 400 cases were randomly selected on the questionnaire of the knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid in ordinary adults who participate in health examination in Xiangya Hospital. Blood lipid related physical examination was conducted at the same time. hTe health examination participants were divided into several groups according to their sex, age, degree of education, marriage and family income. The influential factors for knowledge, attitude and behavior were analyzed. Results: hTe knowledge score of blood lipid for health examination participants was 18.33±8.67 (total score 37), the attitude score was 6.63±2.45 (total score 9) and the behavior score was 8.32±2.65 (total score 16). hTe scores of female was higher than that of male in the terms of knowledge and behavior (bothP<0.05); the scores in the 40–49 age group were lower than those in the other age groups (all P<0.05); the scores in the junior high school group were lower than those in the other education groups (allP<0.05); the scores in the family group with less than 2 000 yuan income were lower than those in other family groups with different income (allP<0.05). The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that: 1) the knowledge on blood lipid score was inlfuenced by ages and education background (bothP<0.05); 2) while the attitude of blood lipid was inlfuenced by four factors such as education background, systemic blood pressure, blood sugar and triglyceride(allP<0.05); 3) the behavior on blood lipid was inlfuenced by ifve factors such education background, triglyceride, systemic blood pressure, blood sugar and ages (allP<0.05). Conclusion: The knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid among health examination participants were mostly influenced by education background, gender and ages. Thus, clinical medical staff should prevent the blood lipid abnormality through the health education and improve the knowledge in normal people. hTe group of 40–49 age male should be thought as the primary intervention subjects. hTe knowledge, attitude and behavior on blood lipid among the general population is also related to individual’s blood pressure, blood sugar and triglyceride. So the clinical medical staff should also improve the knowledge of blood lipid, blood pressure and blood sugar in general population for improving their attitude and unhealthy habits. In addition, the active control of blood sugar and blood pressure can enhance the overall health status of the general population.

Objective: To investigate the changes of peripheral cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABC), and the clinical significance of peripheral CT-1 and BNP in cardiac surgery thereof. Methods:Fifty elective OPCABG patients were included in the study. The concentrations of CT-l and BNP were measured before surgery, and at 6 hours, 72 hours, 1 week and 10 months after the operation respectively. The clinical data of the heart function were also collected in patients . Results:(1 )The peripheral CT-1 levels were significantly higher at 10 months after OPCABC than those before operation. (2 )The concentration of peripheral BNP increased at 6 hours after operation. The peak level was found at 72 hours, and remained higher level until the 1 week after operation. The BNP concentration was returned to the normal level at 10 months after OPCABG. (3 )The baseline levels of CT-1 and BNP were both positively correlated with NYHA rank and the diameter of the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEED), but negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, no correlations were found between CT-1 and BNP and NYHA rank, LVEF or LVEED at 10 months after OPCAB. Conclusion:The perioperative blood BNP levels were increased significantly by OPCABG, while perioperative level of CT-1 increased slowly compared with that of BNP. In cardiac surgery,perioperative concentrations of CT-1 and BNP may reflect the cardiac function in patients before OPCABG. The further studies are warranted to assess the prognosis.
