The anaerobic granular sludge from an Internal Circulation (IC) reactor of a paper mill wastewater treatment plant were seeded in an Anammox upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor. After 185 days operation, the reactor was finally started up by increasing the influent ammonium and nitrite concentrations to 224 mg/L and 255 mg/L, respectively, with volumetric nitrogen removal rate increasing to 3.76 kg/(m3·d). The physicochemical characteristics of the cultivated Anammox granules were observed by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results suggested that during the start-up course, the granular sludge initially disintegrated and then re-aggregated. FTIR spectra results revealed that the Anammox granular sludge contained abundant functional groups, indicating that it may also possess good adsorption properties. The ecological structure of the granular sludge, analyzed by the metagenomic sequencing methods, suggested that the relative abundance of the dominant bacterial community in the seeding sludge, i.e., Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, significantly reduced, while Planctomycetes which contains anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria remarkably increased from 1.59% to 23.24% in the Anammox granules.

Objective? To explore the effects of home visit directed by Peplau interpersonal relationship model on negative emotions and medication adherence in elderly bronchial asthma patients. Methods? From May 2015 to May 2017, we selected 90 elderly bronchial asthma patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into observation group and control group with the method of random number table, 45 cases in each group. Observation group carried out home visit nursing based on the Peplau interpersonal relationship model for elderly bronchial asthma patients. Control group adopted routine follow-up care. The medication adherence and disease cognition of patients both groups were recorded with the Medication Adherence Report Scale for Asthma (MARS-A) as well as Insight and Treatment Attitude Questionnaire (ITAQ), and the anxiety and depression of patients both groups before and after intervention were assessed with the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). We also observed the incidence of bronchial asthma acute attack in patients one year after discharge. Results? When home visit was completed and one year after discharge, the medication adherence of observation group was higher than that of control group, and the score of ITAQ was higher than that of control group and that at discharge with statistical differences (P< 0.05). One year after discharge, the incidence of bronchial asthma acute attack of observation group was lower than that of control group with a statistical difference (P< 0.05). When home visit was completed and one year after discharge, the scores of HAMA and HAMD of observation group were lower than those of control group with statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions? Home visit directed by Peplau interpersonal relationship model help to reduce the incidence of acute attack of elderly bronchial asthma patients external hospital, relieve the negative emotions and improve disease cognition as well as medication adherence.

Objective? To explore the application of three-dimensional quality assessment model of structure-process-outcome in continued nursing care for elderly patients with lung cancer after operation. Methods? By purposive sampling, 48 elderly patients discharged after radical resection of lung cancer from January to December 2016 were taken as control group and received routine continuous nursing care. Another 51 elderly patients discharged after radical resection of lung cancer from June 2017 to June 2018 were taken as the observation group. Continuous nursing program based on structure-process-outcome quality assessment model was applied for the observation group. The effect of intervention was assessed by using Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH) and Quality of Life Questionnaire-30(QLQ-30). Results? At 6 months after discharge, the scores of each dimension of SUPPH scale in the observation group were statistically higher than those in the control group (P< 0.05). In the observation group the scores of "physical function", "role function", "social function" and "overall health" of QLQ-30 scale were higher than the control group, the scores of "fatigue", "pain", "insomnia", "lack of appetite", "constipation", and "diarrhea" were all lower than the control group with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions? The continuous nursing care based on the three-dimensional quality assessment model of structure-process-outcome for elderly patients with lung cancer can help to improve their sense of self-efficacy and quality of life.

Epilepsy is a long-term, chronic, recurrent, multi-factorial, multi-symptomatic nervous system disease, and was caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons. Etiology can cause irreversible brain dysfunction and even death. There are about 6.5 million children with epilepsy in China, with incidence rate twice that of adult, presenting serious threaten to children's growth and development. Vitamin D has been well-known for crucial importance to development of nervous, skeletal, and immune system. Studies have found that pediatric epilepsy as well as other neurological diseases were closely related with vitamin D deficiency. First, a large number of studies have shown that vitamin D in children with epilepsy is affected by epilepsy itself; second, the use of anti-seizure medicines can alter metabolism of vitamin D by inducing cytochrome oxidases; third, the inducement was concerned to varieties, combination and duration of anti-seizure medicines; fourth, it was expected that supplement of vitamin D during antiepileptic treatment would guarantee an improvement of treating given that anti-seizure medicines may lead to deficiency of vitamin D. Large numbers of researches have reported on the correlation ship between pediatric epilepsy and vitamin D. However, there is still a lack of systematic review. This article aims to retrospect the research progress of relationship between pediatric epilepsy and vitamin D, and provide valuable feedbacks on further treatment of pediatric epilepsy.
