Objective To understand the awareness of children snoring disease knowledge and demand of health education and appropriate health education methods from the parents whose children were in hospital by snoring, and provide basis for health education in clinic. Methods On the basis of literature search and expert consultation, 276 parents whose children in hospital by snoring were investigated by self-designed questionnaire. The questionnaire included the awareness of children snoring disease knowledge and demand of health education and appropriate health education methods were carried out. Results The awareness rate of children snoring disease knowledge was 2.54%-55.07% in parents whose children in hospital by snoring. The average demand rate of health education surpass 80%, major reason and symptom and main therapy and surgical outcomes of snoring were more concerned with 100.00%(276/276). The average demand rate of the impact on the intelligence was 96.38%(266/276). Acceptable methods of health education from high to low were as follows, consulting a doctor was 93.48%(258/276), posting publicity column in the halls or ward hallway was 74.28% (205/276), attending health education lecture was 66.30% (183/276), through QQ group or micro letter platform was 61.96%(171/276), through community healthy knowledge publicity column was 56.52%(156/276), through broadcast radio and television programs when see a doctor or in hospital was 53.62%(148/276), through telephone counseling was 36.96%(102/276), through hospital health prescription was 36.23% (100/276), through audiovisual teaching materials was 32.25% (89/276), communication between parents was 7.97%(22/276). Conclusions The awareness rate of children snoring disease knowledge from the parents whose children in hospital by snoring is low, the medical staff need take various ways of health education to improve snoring children′s parents′overall understanding level of children sleep apnea, effectively prevent various influencing factors of sleep apnea and snoring related complications, to reduce the dangers caused by snoring.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of glutathione peroxidase 3-(GPx3)modified mesenchymal stem cells(MSC)against radiation-induced lung injury(RILI).Methods GPx3-modified MSCs were injected into the tail vein of mice whose lungs were irradiated with 20 Gy.Lung tissues were collected and sections were stained to observe pathological changes.The expression levels of inflammation-related factors were detected by real time quantitative PCR(qPCR),while the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),H2O2,and 8-hydroxyguanine(8-OHG)were detected via biochemical experiments.Additionally,RNA damage was assessed by reverse transcription blocking combining with double primer PCR.Results GPx3-modified MSCs significantly improved the pathological damage in post-radiation lung tissues and inhibited the fibrosis process and inflammatory response.GPx3-modified MSCs were able to scavenge reactive oxygen species(ROS)more effectively,resulting in a reduction of lipid peroxidation products such as MDA and oxidative damage to RNA formation of 8-OHG.Conclusion By decreasing ROS accumulation,GPx3-modified MSCs can potentially reduce oxidative damage and attenuate RILI.GPx3-modified MSCs can improve the therapeutic efficacy against RILI.
