Objective To analyze the effect of different environments risks on the prognosis of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 231 patients diagnosed with COPD who visited Mianyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2018 to January 2021 were selected as the study subjects and divided into two groups according to whether the residence was changed after discharge, that is, Mianyang Environmental Living Suzhou Environmental Living Group. The follow-up time was 2019 December to September 2021. The contents include relative humidity, temperature, PM2.5, PM10, air quality index, exposure to household smoking environment, and open windows for ventilation. The regional environment was mainly measured three times, namely October to February (expressed as cold period), June to August (expressed as warm period), March to May and September to October (expressed as suitable period). The family environment was followed up every 2 months by means of questionnaires and interviews, and detailed records were recorded. After the follow-up, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and Modified Dyspnea Rating Score (mMRC) were analyzed. Concentration-response curves were used to analyze the influence of living environment exposure on the prognosis of COPD patients. The generalized additive model with semi-Poisson distribution as the connection function was used to study the influence of univariate and multifactor environmental factors on COPD. Results The air quality index of Mianyang was higher than that of Suzhou during the cold period, while that of Mianyang was lower than that of Suzhou during the suitable period. Meanwhile, the average relative humidity of Suzhou was higher than that of Mianyang during the warm period. The comparison of CAT and mMRC scores of COPD patients in the two regions in different quarters showed that the CAT and mMRC scores of COPD patients in Mianyang City were lower than those in Suzhou City during the cold period, and the difference between groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). PM2.5 (warm period), PM10 (warm period) and NO2 (suitable period) increased by 10μg/m3, 8μg/m3, 12μg/m3 and CO (suitable period) increased by 0.3mg/m3 respectively caused COPD function The scores of indicators CAT and mMRC increased. After adjusting for other pollutants, PM2.5, CO were still related to the prognosis of COPD. Concentration-response curve results showed that the risk of increasing CAT score decreased with increasing daily windowing time; conversely, the risk of increasing CAT score was increasing with increasing environmental exposure to smoking. Conclusion Pollutant exposure and living environment factors have a significant impact on the prognosis of COPD, and improving the environment is of great significance for the recovery of COPD pulmonary function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of knowledge, attitude and practice of nurses in mental health hospitals on the prevention and control of nosocomial infections, and to analyze the influencing factors. MethodsFrom June to August 2020, 402 clinical nurses from 8 mental health hospitals in a city were enrolled using simple random sampling method, and were assessed using a self-compiled knowledge-attitude-practice questionnaire related to the nosocomial infection prevention and control, thereafter, the influencing factors were screened. ResultsThe scores of knowledge, attitude and practice dimensions in relation to the nosocomial infection prevention and control among the nurses were (8.43±1.84), (76.01±5.70) and (57.42±3.75), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the knowledge dimension score demonstrated significant difference among nurses of different types of hospital, grades of hospital, professional titles, education levels, and emphasis degrees of hospital and individual on nosocomial infection (P<0.05 or 0.01). The attitude dimension scores yielded significant difference among nurses of different types of hospital, position, grades of hospital, and emphasis degrees of hospital and individual on nosocomial infection (P<0.05 or 0.01). The practice dimension scores manifested significant difference among nurses of different types of hospital, grades of hospital, professional titles, emphasis degrees of hospital and individual on nosocomial infection, and training frequency (P<0.05 or 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that professional titles and individual emphasis on nosocomial infection entered the regression model of nurses' knowledge dimension of nosocomial infection prevention and control (P<0.05 or 0.01). Individual emphasis on nosocomial infection, hospital types and position entered the regression model of attitude dimension (P<0.05 or 0.01). Individual emphasis on nosocomial infection, hospital types, professional titles, and hospital emphasis on nosocomial infection entered the regression model of practice dimension (P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionNurses in mental health hospital have a positive attitude towards nosocomial infection prevention and control, but their knowledge base needs to be strengthened.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified all-arthroscopic reconstruction of medial patella femoral ligament (MPFL) for the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 38 patients (46 knees) with recurrent patellar dislocation, who were treated at First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University from January 2017 to January 2020. The patients included 12 males (12 knees) and 26 females (34 knees), aged 14-40 years [(24.6±5.4)years]. All patients underwent the modified all-arthroscopic MPFL reconstruction procedure. The femoral tunnel locations were assessed by 3D-CT immediately after surgery. The MRI was performed at 6 and 12 months after operation to assess the healing morphology of the reconstructed MPFL. The Lysholm score and Kujala score were used to assess the knee function before operation, at 6 months after operation, at 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up. The time to return to sports as well as complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 26-48 months [(32.4±8.6)months]. Postoperative 3D-CT examination showed that the femoral tunnels were located in the groove area of the medial epicondyle of the femur and the adductor tubercle. At 6 and 12 months after operation, MRI T2 images showed that the reconstructed MPFL had a low signal and well tensioned ligament tissue, indicating that the MPFL was healed well. The Lysholm scores at 6 and 12 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were (81.1±12.0)points, (91.2±3.8)points, and (92.2±9.8)points, respectively, being significantly higher than the preoperative (52.4±10.6)points (all P<0.01). The Kujala scores at 6 and 12 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were (85.4±3.9)points, (91.4±3.6)points, and (93.1±8.5)points, respectively, being significantly higher than the preoperative (55.2±6.8)points (all P<0.01). Compared with 6 months postoperatively, the Lysholm score and Kujala score were significantly improved at 12 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up (all P<0.05). All patients returned to sports, with the time to return to sports for 3-12 months [(8.7±2.3)months] after operation. One patient had poor wound healing but was healed after dressing changes. No wound infection, nerve injury, joint stiffness, patella re-dislocation or other complications occurred. Conclusion:For recurrent patellar dislocation, the modified all-arthroscopic MPFL reconstruction has advantages of accurate bone tunnel positioning, good ligament healing, good function recovery, early return to sports, and less postoperative complications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mental health condition of college students during the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) , and to provide accurate basis for their psychological intervention. MethodsThrough the way of electronic questionnaire, questionnaire star as tools, random investigation of college students in a university in Sichuan. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Somatization Symptom Scale (SSS) were used to evaluate their anxiety, depression and somatization symptoms. At the same time, a self-made questionnaire was used to investigate their styles of help seeking, and the relationships between them. ResultsA total of 551 valid questionnaires were collected, including 4.90% of anxiety symptoms, 28.68% of depression and 17.97% of somatization symptoms. In terms of somatization, the detection rate was higher in urban college students than those in rural (23.35% vs. 13.27%, P<0.05), non-medical students was higher than medical students (21.40% vs. 13.89%, P<0.05). Women's SSS score was higher than men's [(26.51 ± 5.44) vs. (25.27 ± 5.78)], urban college students' SSS score were higher than rural [(26.69 ± 5.98) vs. (25.38 ± 5.12)], and non-medical students’ SSS score were higher than medical students [(26.65 ± 5.59) vs. (25.21 ± 5.45)], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis showed that SSS score was positively correlated with SAS score (r=0.110, P=0.010) and negatively correlated with SDS score (r=-0.087, P=0.042). The top three common ways of help-seeking pattern among college students were self-regulation (81.85%), talking to family or friends (70.78%) and offline psychological counseling (28.31%). ConclusionUnder the COVID-19 epidemic, the detection rate of depressive symptoms and somatization symptoms of college students is high. The detection rate of somatization symptoms of female, urban and non-medical college students is high. Self-regulation and talking to family or friends are the main psychological styles of help seeking for college students.
