Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of CT pulmonary vascular quantitative parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and high-risk groups.Methods:A retrospective study of 1 126 patients who underwent chest CT examination and pulmonary function test in Shanghai Tongji Hospital from January 2015 to August 2020. According to lung function, they were divided into COPD group (471 cases), high-risk group (454 cases), and normal control group (201 cases). Pulmonary vascular parameters on chest CT, including the total number of vessels (N total), the number cross-sectional area of vessels under 5 mm 2 (N CSA<5), lung surface area (LSA), number of pulmonary blood vessels per unit lung surface area (N total/LSA) and the total area of vessels (VA total) at a 9, 15, 21 mm depth from the pleural surface, and the total blood vessel volume (TBV), blood vessel volume under 5 mm 2 and 10 mm 2(BV5 and BV10) were measured quantitatively. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences of quantitative parameters of pulmonary vascular in the three groups; Spearman rank test was used to analyze the correlation between CT pulmonary vascular parameters and pulmonary function. Results:There were significant differences in N total/LSA at a 9, 15, 21 mm depth from the pleural surface among three groups ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in N CSA<5, N total at a 9 mm depth from the pleural surface among three groups ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in LSA at a 9 mm depth from the pleural surface, N CSA<5, N total, LSA, VA total at a 15, 21 mm depth from the pleural surface and TBV, BV5 and BV10 among three groups ( P<0.05). In high-risk group, there were positive correlation between N total/LSA, VA total at a 9 mm depth from the pleural surface and some pulmonary function parameters ( r=0.095-0.139, P<0.05). N CSA<5, N total, LSA, N total/LSA, TBV, BV5 and BV10 at different depth from pleural surface were negatively correlated with some pulmonary function parameters ( r=-0.110--0.215, P<0.05). In COPD group, number of vessels at a 9 mm depth from the pleural surface was positively correlated with the diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide of the lung single breath ( r=0.105, 0.103, P<0.05). In addition to N total/LSA were positively correlated with lung function parameters ( r=0.181-0.324, P<0.05), the remaining pulmonary vascular parameters were negatively correlated with some pulmonary function parameters ( r=-0.092--0.431, P<0.05). Conclusion:Quantitative chest CT imaging are able to effectively evaluate pulmonary vascular changes in COPD patients and high-risk groups, and the quantitative parameters of pulmonary vascular CT may distinguish COPD from high-risk groups, providing a novel means for early diagnosis of COPD and prediction of high-risk groups.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the stages of health-related behaviors, family and peer support situation about adolescent in Wuhan, and to provide evidence for health intervention and health promotion.
METHODSBased on the principle of multi-stage stratified cluster sampling, extracted two junior middle school and two high school in two cities in Wuhan from March 2012 to May. A total of 1 200 students, which were part of the first and second grade class in middle school and high school, toke as the investigation object. The study surveyed following content, including the demographic situation, adolescent health-related behavior (physical activity, sedentary behavior, high-fat diet behavior, fruit and vegetable intaking behavior), stages of adolescent health related behavior (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance) and adolescent support got from family and peer. The questionnaire was distributed in 1 200 copies, the valid questionnaires were 1 052 and the effective rate was 87.67%. Using χ² test to compare the different stages of change in health related behavior, t test was used to compare different groups of social support and using analysis of variance and post test to analyze social support of the four types behavior.
RESULTSIn 1 052 students, there was 555 (52.8%) middle school students, 497 (47.2%) high school students, and 553 (52.6%) boys, 499 (47.4%) girls. In physical exercise and sedentary behavior, numbers of precontemplation was respectively accounting for 42.2% (444/1 200) and 28.4% (299/1 200). In high-fat diet behavior, the stages of preparation and maintain was occupied 46.7% (492/1 200). In fruit and vegetable intake behavior, there was 32.9% (346/1200) students in contemplation. Numbers in action stage was both less in the above four behavior, accounting for 6.2% (65/1 200), 8.9% (94/1 200), 14.0% (147/1 200) and 6.3% (66/1 200) separately. Adolescent peer support score respectively (2.9 ± 0.7), (2.8 ± 0.8) and (2.9 ± 0.9), which was higher than the family support scores ((2.7 ± 1.1), (2.5 ± 1.2) and (2.9 ± 1.2)) (t values were -8.72, -11.22 and -2.59, respectively. All P values were < 0.001) in physical exercise, sedentary behavior and high fat diet, but in the intake of fruits and vegetables behavior, family support score was higher than peer support (score was respectively (3.3 ± 0.9) and (3.5 ± 1.2); t < 9.97, P < 0.001). ANOVA and post hoc comparison showed that the score of family and peer support in the after-action stage was significantly higher than that the before-action stage in physical exercise, high-fat diet and fruit and vegetable intake behavior, while the differences in sedentary behavior was not significant.
CONCLUSIONYouth health-related behaviors remained in its infancy, there was a certain impact on its stages which showed that the higher social support the more advanced stages of behavior.
