Objective To investigate the severity of cough in patients with different etiology of chronic cough and its related factors. Methods One hundred and fifty patients with chronic cough were recruited. The diagnosis of the patients was as follows: 24 cases with post nasal drip syndrome (PNDs), 26 cough variant asthma (CVA), 20 gastroesophageal reflux-induced cough (GERC), 31 eosinophilic bronchitis (EB), 30 atopic cough (AC) and 19 cough post infection (CPI). The severity of cough at daytime and night-time were scored by the doctor and the patient at the first visit. The correlation between cough score and age, gender and course duration of patients was analyzed. Results There was no significantly difference of cough score at daytime among different groups. Cough score at night in CVA group was significantly higher than that of other five groups (all P <0.01). Regression analysis showed that cough score at daytime was significantly correlated with age of patients (P < 0.05), while cough score at night was correlated significantly with gender (P < 0.01). Conclusion Cough severity at daytime in different etiology of chronic cough is similar, while that at night in patient with CVA is higher than that with other etiology.

Objective To explore the status of toileting behavior and its relationship to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in female nurses. Methods A total of 636 nurses were selected from three top three hospitals in Jinan by multi-stage sampling. The nurses′toileting behavior and LUTS were assessed by Women′s Toileting Behavior Scale and The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Univariate analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted to examine the factors associated with LUTS. Results The nurse groups were widespread adverse toileting behavior. Delayed voiding was the most severe problem in nurses. Among LUTS storage symptoms were the most severe,voiding symptoms followed and incontinence symptoms were mild. Hierarchical regression analysis exhibited that factors associated significantly with LUTS included age, body mass index, menstrual status, working experience, history of urinary tract infection and poor toileting behavior (mainly hard urination, delayed voiding, and anuria urination),which explained 9.1%,12.9% and 12.6% of the variance of storage symptoms, voiding symptoms and incontinence symptoms, respectively. Conclusions Poor toileting behaviors are highly prevalent in nurses and they are closely related to LUTS, leading to concerns about possible effects of working environment and poor bladder habits on LUTS. Cognitive-behavioral intervention for this group is essential for delivering information about correct toileting behavior and its association with LUTS. Hospital administrators are suggested to pay more attention to nurses′working environment and its impact on nurses′health in order to improve their quality of life and job satisfaction.

Objective To descript the current situation and to analyze the impact factors of the stigma among the community women with urinary incontinence in Jinan.Methods This was a crosssectional survey by purposive sampling.506 women with urinary incontinence from 3 communities in Jinan were measured by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form(ICIQ-SF) and the revised version of the Social Impact Scale(SIS)in order to get the information about the urinary incontinence type,severity degree and the stigma.Results The participants' total score of the SIS was (39.62±8.10) points and the score index was 55％.Score index of three subscale including social isolation,social exclusion and inner sense of shame were 58％,45％,70％; age and severity degree of urinary incontinence were independent factors and totally accounted for 14.0％ of the variance in stigma.Conclusions It suggested that,to make patients drop the cognitive errors about being incontinence,then decrease the stigma and improve the quality of life,the Health Care Sector should positively broadcast the relative knowledge of urinary incontinence and encourages patients to seek help,screen,diagnose,and get treatment earlier,and complete the tertiary prevention.

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of urinary incontinence on women's quality of life, and the effective measures to improve it.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature review to analyze the present research about quality of life on urinary incontinent women and interventions for improving it.ResultsUrinary incontinence influenced patients' quality of life in many aspects, especially in their physical health, mental health, daily living and sexual life. Regular pelvic floor muscle training could prevent and control the incontinence symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.ConclusionsIt is necessary to carry on a series of activities to propagandize that urinary incontinence can be treated, effective measures should be taken to prevent and manage urinary incontinence in order to improve quality of life in urinary incontinent women.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of the K lebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical infections in terms of serotypes K1 ,K2 and virulence factor rmpA gene .Methods The hypermucoviscous phenotype of K .pneumoniae isolate was determined by string test .K1 and K2 serotypes and rmpA gene were detected using multiplex polymerase chain reaction .Results Of the 144 strains of K .pneumoniae ,the prevalence of hypermucoviscous phenotype ,K1 , K2 serotypes and rmpA gene was 62 .5% (90/144) ,52 .1% (75/144) and 65 .3% (94/144) ,respectively .The prevalence of K1 ,K2 and rmpA K .pneumoniae strains was 90 .7% (68/75) in K1 ,K2 serotypes .The prevalence of K1 ,K2 isolates and rmpA in hypermucoviscous or non‐hypermucoviscous phenoype was 63 .3% (57/90) ,85 .6% (77/90) and 33 .3% (18/54) , 31 .5% (17/54) ,respectively .The prevalence of serotype K1 ,K2 with or without rmpA gene was 72 .3% (68/94) and 14 .0% (7/50 ) respectively . Of the 42 K . pneumoniae strains isolated from liver abscess ,85 .7% (36/42) were hypermucoviscous phenotype and 88 .1% (37/42 ) were serotypes K1 , K2 .

AIM: To explore the pathological features of airway inflammation in patients with eosinophilic bronchitis(EB) and compared to those with cough variant asthma(CVA).METHODS: Flexible fibre optic bronchoscopy was performed in 11 patients with EB,10 with CVA,14 with bronchial asthma and 10 normal controls.The mean thickness of the basement membrane was measured by light microscopy.Using immunohistochemical and special staining,the localization and density of inflammatory cells(eosinophils,mast cells,T lymphocytes) were detected in bronchial submucosa in EB and CVA patients.RESULTS: The mean thickness of the basement membrane was significantly increased in the subjects with EB [2.92 ?m(2.10-6.50 ?m)],CVA [5.64 ?m(3.23-8.48 ?m)] and bronchial asthma [9.08 ?m(6.61-11.99 ?m)] rather than that in the normal controls [2.08 ?m(1.62-3.40 ?m)].There were also significant differences among the three groups.The number of mast cells and eosinophils in the bronchial submucosal from subjects with EB [75 cells/mm~2(35-112 cells/mm~2),7 cells/mm~2(0-31(cells/mm~2))] was substantially decreased than those in subjects with CVA [148 cells/mm~2(34-200 cells/mm~2),114 cells/mm~2((1-768 cells/mm~2));P

Objective To construct the care needs assessment index for institutional elderly. Methods A total of 30 experts were consulted by the Delphi method. The indexes were selected and identified according to the inquiry results. Results The response rates of three expert consultation rounds were 93.33％(28/30), 85.71％(24/28), and 79.17％(19/24) respectively. The authority coefficients of the three rounds were all above 0.80. The assessment index includes 4 first level indicators, 13 secondary level indicators, and 48 third level indicators. Weighting results indicated that in terms of the elderly in institutional care, the most important domain of care needs was physical function, followed by ability of activity. At the same time, psychological function and social function in the elderly cannot be ignored. Conclusions The study obtained key elements that should be included in a comprehensive care needs assessment index of the institutional elderly, which laid a solid foundation for further investigation on the formation of specific assessment tools for care needs of the elderly in institutional care.
