OBJECTIVE To observe clinical efficacy of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray plus budesonide nasal spray on persistent allergic rhinitiss(AR). METHODS 120 patients with persistent AR were devided randomly into group A(n=40), group B(n=40) and group C(n=40). Group A were treated with azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray and budesonide nasal spray, group B received only azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray and group C received budesonide nasal spray only, the treatment process were 4 weeks. Clinical efficacy were compared among 3 groups 4 weeks later. RESULTS 1. VAS scores: VAS scores of nasal symptoms in group A were lower than those both in group B and in group C after 4 weeks, the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05); 2. RQLQ scores: RQLQ scores in 3 groups were all significantly improved after 4 weeks, the RQLQ scores of sleep, nonnose/eye symptoms, nasal symptoms and emotions in group A were improved more significantly than those in group B and in group C, the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05); 3. Clinical efficacy: the significant effective rate and the total effective rate were 50.00% and 93.33% in group A, but were 30.00% and 75.00% in group B and 27.50% and 77.50% in group C, the differences between group A and group B or group A and group C were statistically significant(P <0.05). CONCLUSION Azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray plus budesonide nasal spray can rapidly relieve nasal symptoms and improve the life quality of the patients with persistent AR.

Objective To study the influencing factors of the competing sentences test in normal-hearing adults, in order to provide references for the preparation of the competing sentences test with children and the development of the diagnostic tools of the central auditory processing disorders.Methods According to the three kinds of test tables of semantic competition, sentence constituent competition and phonetic competition for the competing sentences test, the 2×3×3 factors mixed experimental design were used to test the 48 normal-hearing adults(forty-six right-handed adults and two left-handed adults) with the competing sentences test.The correct rate was obtained and the influencing factors were analyzed.Results ①The average correct rate of the Competing Sentences Test for the forty-six right-handed normal-hearing adults was 94.98%,and for the two left-handed normal-hearing adults was 96.12%.②The right-handed subjects'' right ear accuracy rate was significantly higher than that of the left ear(P<0.01),while the accuracy rate of the left ear was obviously higher than the right ear with left-handed subjects.③The effects of genders on the results of the competing sentences test was not significant(P>0.05)with the right-handed subjects.④For the results of three types sentences,the correct rate of semantic competition was the highest, the second was the sentence constituent competition and phonetic competition was the lowest with the right-handed subjects.Conclusion No gender factors were found to affect the results of the competing sentences test among adults.The normal-hearing right-handed adults have the right ear advantage in the competing sentences test, prompting us to become concerned about the choice of the ear sides.Different competition types of sentences will have a greater impact on the difficulty of the competing sentences test, so we should pay more attention to this in the preparation of competitive sentences test tables.

Objective:To explore the related factors of nutritional status in hospitalized elders with mental disorders.Methods:A total of 584 elders with mental disorders admitted to Beijing Huilongguan Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method. General questionnaire, Barthel Index Scale, Frailty Phenotype, Mini Nutritional Assessment, Simple Physical Fitness Scale (SPFS) , Family Function Assessment Scale were collected. Univariate analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the related factors of patients' nutritional status. Multivariate correspondence analysis was performed for significant variables in univariate analysis.Results:The incidence of malnutrition in hospitalized elders with mental disorders was 51.88% (303/584) , and patients were divided into three groups according to nutritional status, including good nutritional status group, risk of malnutrition group, and malnutrition group for statistical analysis. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, diagnosis, frailty, smoking, drinking, BMI, Barthel score, SPPB, family function among three groups ( P<0.01) . Correlation analysis showed that BMI ( r=0.144, P<0.01) , Barthel index ( r=0.087, P<0.05) , family social function ( r=0.257, P<0.01) and nutritional status were positively correlated with nutritional status, while age ( r=-0.252, P<0.01) , frailty ( r=-0.216, P<0.01) were negatively correlated with nutritional status. Multiple correspondence analysis showed that dementia, over 81 years old, frailty, impaired activities of daily living, and family dysfunction were the related factors of malnutrition; schizophrenia, 71-80 years old, pre-debility, good ability of daily living were the associated factors of good nutritional status; bipolar disorder, 60-70 years old were the associated factors of malnutrition. Conclusions:The health supervision and nutrition screening of hospitalized elders with mental disorders should be strengthened, and targeted nutritional intervention strategies should be adopted for patients with different mental disorders, so as to reduce the health problems.

Children with specific language impairment(SLI)have normal cognitive abilities but experience language deficits.The heterogeneity of language disorders makes SLI children optimal subjects for investigating the correlation between language ability and theory of mind.This paper provides a comprehensive review of foreign em-pirical studies examining the relationship between language ability and theory of mind in SLI groups from various perspectives.The findings indicate that specific types of language disorders exhibit delayed development in theory of mind,which is closely associated with their language ability deficits.Among all linguistic elements,syntactic de-fects demonstrate the most concentrated evidence regarding their impact on theory of mind.It is noteworthy that al-though SLI children offer valuable insights into the correlation between language and theory of mind,further investi-gation is still required to comprehensively comprehend this association.The present study also provides recommenda-tions for future research endeavors in this domain.
