Objective To find out the difference or the regularity by the comparison study on the Auto-CPAP application to treating severe OSAHS patients in daytime nap and nocturnal sleep.It also supplies an evidence for reducing the expense in treating and testing severe OSAHS patients.Methods The patients who complained of snoring or dyspnea during sleeping and excessive daytime somnolence were selected as the subjects.They were monitored by PSG or Auto-CPAP ventilator system.Meanwhile their somnolent level were estimated by Epwoth.After that the patients with more than 20 AHI were selected as the advanced subjects.They were treated respectively in daytime nap and in the nocturnal sleep.And the daytime treating time lasted more than one hour and less than two hours and thirty minutes.Monitoring items included AHI,AI,HI,the longest duration of apnea or hyponea(LAHT),the lowest SaO\-2,the highest CPAP pressure(HP),median pressure(MP),90% pressure(90%P) and 95% pressure(95%P).Results The therapeutical effect is distinguished and is the same with the severe OSAHS in both daytime nap and nocturnal sleep.And also they need the same CPAP pressure level basically.Conclusion The CPAP pressure level titrated in daytime nap treatment period can be used in the nocturnal sleep therapy for severe OSAHS patients.

Objective To study the effects of PM2.5 and PM10 of dust storm on the secretion of nitrogen oxide(NO), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)in the alveolar macrophages(AM)of rat in vitro. Methods PM2.5 and PM10 were collected during dust storm period in the urban area of Beijing. The tested cells were primary cultured alveolar macrophages. Cytotoxicity of the particles was measured by MTT assay. The content of NO was determined using Griess reagent. The levels of cytokines IL-8 and TNF-? were determined using radioimmunity assay. Results After treatment for 24 h, PM2.5 and PM10 caused cytotoxicity to AM and the survival rate of the cells was decreased with the increasing exposure dose of the dust to the rats and the survival rate of the cells in the high dosage group was 80% of the control group. At concentrations of 20~150 ?g/ml, PM2.5 and PM10 increased the secretion of NO, TNF-? and IL-8 in AM in a dose-dependent manner. The cytotoxicity of PM2.5 was stronger than that of the PM10 at the same concentration, while the effects on the increasing secretion of NO, IL-8 and TNF-? induced by PM2.5 was smaller than that of the PM10. Conclusion PM2.5 and PM10 of dust storm could induce the secretion of inflammatory factors NO, IL-8 and TNF-? in rat AM.

Objective To explore the value of low-dose CT in assessment of neonatal pneumothorax.Methods Low-dose CT and chest radiographys were performed in 98 neonates with clinically suspected of pneumothorax.Results Pneumothorax was detected in 98 neonates by low-doseCT, compared with 84 neonates by chest radiography.The sensitivity of low-dose CT was higher than that of chest radiography (P =0.026<0.05). Conclusion Low-dose CT provides a reliable assessment of neonatal pneumothorax and a guide for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the personality characteristics of abused children in order to reduce the incidence of child abuse.Methods Two hundred and ninty five middle school students were investigated with general questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children. Eighty six students experiencing child abuse (CA) last year as study group and one hundred and ninety six non-abuse children as controls (NCA) were analyzed by means of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire of children.Results The score of neuroticism in CA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (55.62±10.60/52.65±10.98,t=-2.114 P=0.035). The score of lie in CA group was significantly lower than that in control group (42.21±9.87/46.04±9.20,t=3.184 P=0.002). On the impact of different sex, the psychoticism score of male was significantly higher than that in the control group(52.37±11.49/48.04±9.97,t=-2.227 P=0.028), and the lie score was significantly lower than that in control group(41.03±9.18/46.18±8.79,t=3.125 P=0.002).The scores of those in the female were not significant.Conclusions There is a close association between the unstable emotion and child abuse in children, so training emotional self-control and emotional expression of children might be a intervention strategy in the future. In addition, the frequency of lie in children is probably one of factors that determine whether children are abused or not.

Objective To analyze influencing factors of physicians' turnover intention at public county hospitals from career stage perspective.Methods Physicians career life was divided into three stages according to professional ranks and titles.The sample was drawn using stratified multistage random methods from public county hospitals in Shandong province and 677 questionnaires were completed,giving a 90.3% valid response rate.Data were analyzed using multi-group stepwise linear regression.Results The percentage of responders with middle and high-level turnover intention was 23.0%and 6.5% respectively,and there was no statistically significant difference in turnover intention across three stage subgroups.In physicians at stage 1,the most important factors to predict turnover intention were superiors ' appreciation (r =-0.22,P < 0.05) and payment rationality (r =-0.21,P<0.05),while in physicians at stage 2,the most important predicting factors were autonomy (r=-0.39,P<0.05)and learning demand(r=-0.22,P<0.05),and in physicians at stage 3 were career development(r=-0.31,P<0.05)and autonomy(r=-0.21,P<0.05).Conclusion Autonomy and workload are common factors of turnover intention with different predicting power across three career stages.Physicians adjust their career needs to self-actualization with development of career stage,so welltargeted incentives should be taken to stabilize the medical staff of public county hospitals.

AIM:To establish a fast , accurate and economical technique for culturing mouse pulmonary arte-riolar smooth muscle cells ( PASMCs ) , and to explore the effects of hypoxia on the proliferation and apoptosis of the PASMCs.METHODS:In sterile condition, the pulmonary artery was isolated from the male BALB/c mice by digesting with collagenase I, and the cells were cultured in fetal bovine serum-coated flask.Centrifugal procedure was not used dur-ing the cell passage .The cell morphology was observed under an inverted phase-contrast microscope .α-Smooth muscle ac-tin was identified by immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence .The effects of hypoxia on the proliferation and apopto-sis of the PASMCs were detected by CCK-8 assay and TUNEL assay .RESULTS:PASMCs were identified by the methods of immunocytochemistry , immunofluorescence staining and observation of morphology .Unlike the rat PASMCs with typical subcultured peak-vally pattern, the mouse PASMCs showed a lot different without a peak-vally pattern.The cells could be subcultured after 5 d to 7 d and there was 3 to 5 generations depending on the activity of the cells .CCK-8 assay demonstra-ted that the A values of PASMCs exposed to hypoxia increased after 24 h ( P<0.05) as compared with normoxia .TUNEL result showed that the apoptotic index of the PASMCs in hypoxia decreased after 24 h (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:This technique for obtaining cultured mouse PASMCs is simple , fast, accurate and economical .The digestion time is easy to control.Hypoxia promotes the proliferation and inhibits the apoptosis of PASMCs .
