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 explore the clinical value of the different components of glycosylated hemoglobin in pa-tients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods A total of 217 patients were divided into 3 groups:CAD group (groupⅠ, n=60), CAD patients without acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and with diabetes mellitus group (groupⅡ, n=60) and ACS patients with diabetes mellitus group (groupⅢ, n=97). Fifty-eight healthy volunteers in the same time period were selected as control group. The values of fructose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1a), lactose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1b), glucose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hemoglobin P3 component (HbP3), hemoglobin A0 component (HbA0), unstable glycosyl-ated hemoglobin (LA1c/CHb1) and alkali-resistant hemoglobin (HbF) were measured. These parameters were compared be-tween 4 groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze factors that influencing CAD and CAD with diabetes mellitus. The re-ceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of these factors. Results There were significant differences in titers of HbA1b, HbA1c, HbP3 and HbA0 between groupⅠ, groupⅡ, groupⅢand control group (P<0.01, or P<0.05). There were no significant differences in levels of glycosylated hemoglobin parameters between groupⅡand groupⅢ(P>0.05). Logistic regression and ROC curve analysis showed that HbA1c and HbP3 were indepen-dent effects of CAD, and there were some diagnostic efficiency of CAD. The diagnostic efficiency of ROC curve was consis-tent in HbA1c and HbP3 between group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ. Conclusion Levels of HbA1b, HbA1c, HbP3 and HbA0 are closely related to CAD and CAD with diabetes mellitus. HbA1c and HbP3 are independent effects of CAD and, there are some diagnostic efficiency in CAD.

Objective To understand the levels of plasma endothelin (ET) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in cough variant asthma(CVA) patients, and to investigate their correlation and clinical implications. Methods Thirty CVA patients,30 typical bronchial asthma patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. Three milliliter limosis venous blood were drawn from each patient to measure the levels of plasma ET and CGRP by radioimmanity. Results ①The levels of ET in the CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group were higher than that in healthy controls (P < 0.01). Their values were (103.58±28.66) ng/L, (129.37±27.28) ng/L and (72.63±21.52)ng/L, respectively. The levels of CGRP in the CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group were (7.62±2.56) ng/L and(6.63±2.09)ng/L The level of CGRP in the healthy controls group was (21.60±3.29) ng/L. The first two groups were lower than the latter(P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group(P >0.05). ②ET and CGRP were negatively correlated in both CVA group(r= -0.819,P<0.05) and typical bronchial asthma group(r= -0.738,P<0.05). Conclusions ET and CGRP were negatively correlated in both CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group, which means that ET and CGRP were a couple of antagonistic factors participated in the regulation of CVA, and may play an important role in the process of CVA.
