Objective To determine relationships between daily activities measured as modified version of Pulmonary Functional status and Dyspnea Questionaire (PFSDQ-M) and functional capacity and symptoms experienced in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Convenience sample of 94 COPD patients with stable condition were assessed by interview with PFSDQ-M Chinese version and modified Medical Research council dyspnea scale (MMRC) respectively. Pulmonary function test (PFT) and 6-minute walking test (6MWT) were undergone on the same day or within one week as interview. PFSDQ-M has three subscales,i.e.,change experienced by patient with activities (CA),dyspnea with activities (DA) and fatigue with activities (FA). Results Scores of CA,DA and FA correlated to 6-minute walking distancer= (-0.37)- (-0.42),FEV_1 r=(-0.27)-(-0.32),FEV_1/FVC r= (-0.27)- (-0.32),dyspnea rated by MMRC (r=0.55-0.60) and BODE index (r=0.35-0.40),respectively (all P<0.01). dyspnea explained 26% of the variance in changes of activities. Conclusions Physical activities moderately changed in patients with stable COPD;Dyspnea is the best predictor of limitation of daily activities.

7000?cGy). The cumulative incidence of cranial nerve Ⅸ-Ⅻ palsies increased in patients with advanced N stage. Patients in the first group of treatment field had the highest risk to progress cranial nerve Ⅸ-Ⅻ palsies, followed by the second group, and the third group had the lowest risk. Only 1 in 34 patients with brachytherapy developed cranial nerve palsy. Conclusions Our retrospective data show that the radiation-induced cranial nerve palsy is a common complication in NPC patients after radiotherapy and the incidence seems to increase with the duration of the follow-up. Factors that potentially affect the injury of cranial nerve Ⅰ-Ⅶ and Ⅸ-Ⅻ are different, because of the different anatomy. Controlling the doses to the nasopharyngeal region and using faciocervical fields may help to lower the incidence of cranial nerve palsy.

15-20 years accounted for 11%,12%,14% and 10% , respectively. 260 patients had grade 3 and 4 other injuries, including 55 skin, 79 muscles/soft tissue, 36 mucosa, 79 xerostomia and 11 trismus. Among 320 patients who suffered from caries of teeth, it involved all teeth in 192 patients. Two patients had mandible necrosis. 225 patients had decline of hearing. Among 672 ears in 336 patients,194 ears had severe deafness. The overall side reaction occurrence rate was 84.5%. Conclusions Different late side reactions do exist in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients(84.5%) with long-term survival after radiotherapy, and some patients suffer side reactions so serious as to affect their quality of life. Cranial nerve injuries are not rare, and it may occur anytime after radiation, but it dose not stop as the patients survive along.
