Objective To investigate the relationship between air pollution and the acute respiratory symptoms in children in Taiyuan,China.Methods A case-crossover design was used to study the association between air pollution and the acute respiratory symptoms of 254 children aged 7-11 in a school in 2005.Results The acute respiratory symptoms(cough,nose running,stuffy nose and angina)increased as the air concentration of PM10 increased.Conclusion There seems to be a positive association between air pollution of PM10 and the acute respiratory symptoms in children in Taiyuan.

The association of the progress of diabetic nephropathy with the sclerosis of major artery was investigated.Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was positively correlated with urinary albumin and creatinine ratio,and negatively correlated with glomerular filtration rate in diabetes group,suggesting that thickened CIMT may predict the increasing risk of clinical nephropathy in the patients with microalbuminuria.

Objective To explore the effect of hospital-family continuous nursing on the symptoms and life quality of COPD patients.Methods A total of 80 stable COPD patients in our hospital from July to November 2016 were selected as research objects and were divided into two groups according to the time of admission,patients in odd-numbered admission day was as observation group (hospital-family continuous nursing),and patients in even-numbered day was as control group (routine nursing),self-management,symptom control and life quality after 3 months of discharge in the two groups were compared.Results The total score of self-management after 3 months of discharge in the observation group was higher,but the CAT score was lower,and times of disease onset was less than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).The life quality scores in influence,symptoms,and activities after 3 months of discharge in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The hospital-family continuous nursing for COPD patients can improve the self-management ability,relieve the symptoms and improve the life quality.
