Objectives To compare the clinical features between rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus infection in lower respiratory tract in children. Methods From December 2012 to May 2013, direct immunofluorescence assay was per-formed to test RSV in 1 037 nasal aspirate specimens with LRTIs. RT-PCR method was used to test HRV RNA. The medical re-cords of patients with a positive test of HRV or RSV were reviewed and compared. Results The isolating rate for HRV and RSV was 8.78%(91/1 037) and 17.16%(178/1 037) respectively. The frequency of co-infection of HRV with other virus was 18.68%, higher than that of RSV (7.30%,χ2=7.867, P=0.005). The age distribution had significant difference between children infected with HRV and RSV (Z=5.40, P<0.001). 78.38% patients with HRV infection were younger than 3 years old, and 83.03%patients with RSV infection were younger than 1 year old. Dyspnea, hyoxemia and wheezing were more common in pa-tients with RSV infection. Admission occurred much later in the course of the HRV infection (P<0.01). Leukocytosis, eosinophi-lia, and an elevated total serum IgE were more common in patients with HRV infection (P<0.05). Conclusions HRV is one of the important causes of LRTIs in Suzhou. The susceptible population, clinical presentation and laboratory results of HRV infec-tions are different from that of RSV infections.

Objective To discuss the effects of mutual management model on the recovery of multi-burn family members. Methods The multi-burn family members who were hospitalized the 180th Hospital of PLA from February 2010 to October 2014 were chosen as study objects, and 68 patients who were discharged to the hospital from February 2010 to March 2012 were chosen as the control group, while 70 patients who were discharged to the hospital from April 2012 to October 2014 were chosen as the observation group. The two groups of patients were hospitalized for the same treatment, and the patients in control group received general guidance for rehabilitation, while the patients in observation group were administered with the application of mutual management model being discharged, and the members of the family monitored, helped and encouraged each other; they received follow-up survey at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years after being discharged, and the effects of mutual management on improving the quality of life and returning to the job (work and study) were analyzed. Results The quality of life after 6 months discharged in two groups had statistical significance (F=424.679,P<0.01), the quality of life in observation group were higher than that of control group in body, psychology and social function, and status of material life (t=5.115、4.088、4.314、4.760;P<0.01). The length of returning to job or school was shorter than that of control group (χ2=8.101,P<0.05). Conclusions The mutual management model could effectively utilize the resources, and the patients managed with each other, took care each other and encourage each other, so as to improve the quality of life.

Objective:To explore the association between maternal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure during pregnancy and neurobehavioral development in infant.Methods:Participants were from the Ma’anshan Birth Cohort, which was established from October 2008 to October 2010 based on four municipal medical and health institutions in Ma'anshan. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was applied for the determination of serum BPA concentration in 1 783 pregnant women sampled at their first filing, and during 2.97 to 28.1 months age of the infants. Neurobehavioral development were assessed by 0-6-year-old pediatric examination table of neuropsychological development. Generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between serum BPA levels during pregnancy and infants’ neurobehavioral development.Results:A total of 931 mother-child pairs had complete data on serum BPA detection during pregnancy and assessment of infants’ neurobehavioral development status. The age of pregnant women at their first filing was (26.67±3.45) years old, and the M ( P25, P75) of serum BPA concentration (ng/ml) was 0.23 (0.11, 0.52), with a detection rate of 84.1% (783/931). The age of infants was (13.18±5.46) months, and 53.5% (498) were boys. The developmental quotient scores of large motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language ability and social behaviors of infants were (97.88±16.32), (97.16±15.35), (99.64±15.47), (95.3±16.04) and (98.95±14.76) points, respectively. Generalized linear model showed that after adjusting for factors such as delivery mode, feeding mode, family per capita monthly income, preterm delivery, gender, maternal age, residence, pre-pregnancy body mass index and residence time, serum BPA level in pregnancy was negatively associated with infant’s development of social behavior [β (95% CI):-2.42 (-4.71, -0.12)]. The post-stratification analysis by infant age revealed that the serum BPA level in pregnancy was only negatively associated with the development of language and social behavior developmental quotient scores in infants between the ages of 12 and 18 months, with β (95% CI) about -6.66 (-13.06, -0.25) and -7.401 (-12.97, -1.83), respectively. Conclusion:BPA exposure during pregnancy affects language and social behavior development in infants, and the detection window is between 12 and 18 months old of the infant.
