Objective To investigate the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the pathogenesis of nasal polyps. Methods the nasal polyps were obtained from 42 patients undergoing nasal operations. The tissues from each patient were stained with HE and Toluidine Blue for eosiophils, lymphocyte, plasma cell and mast cell and observed under the light microscope. A mean number of the above cells were counted. All data were analyzed with the Ttest. Results Eosinophils were found predominantly in 12 polyps(28.57%). Lymphocyte infiltration was shown in the other 30 polyps (71.43%). Furthermore, many mast cells with only a few eosinophils were found in the lymphocyte infiltration polyps; the number of mast cells in these polyps were much more than those in eosinophil accumulation polyps with a very significant difference(P<0.01). Conclusion The accumulation of eosinophils in the nasal polyps does not appear to be related to the presence of mast cells and allergy. The disorder of immunity may play an important role in the formation of nasal polyps.

Objective :
Objective To investigate the demand for health management and influencing factors among occupational population at high risk of stroke, so as to provide insights into the development of stroke health management strategies among occupational population.
Methods:
Occupational population aged 40 to 60 years who participated in health examination were sampled from three tertiary hospitals in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province using a quota sampling method in the ratio of 4∶1∶1, from August to December 2020. Participants' blood biochemistry tests and health examination were collected through the examination reports, and the participants at high risk of stroke were screened using the assessment criteria for high-risk of stroke. Participants' general information and demand for health management were collected using questionnaire surveys. In addition, factors affecting the demand for health management were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 3 003 people who participated in health examination were investigated, and 1 062 participants met the assessment criteria for high risk of stroke, accounting for 35.36%. There were 1 000 men (94.16%) and 62 women (5.84%), with a mean age of (49.26±4.97) years. There were 414 professional and technical staff (39.50%). There were 709 participants (66.76%) with demand for health management, with the top three in the demand as health checkups (915 participants, accounting for 86.16%), health consultation (601 participants, accounting for 56.60%) and exercise guidance (560 participants, accounting for 52.73%), and 210 participants (19.77%) received health management. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that occupational population at high risk of stroke who received health management were more likely to have the demand for health management (OR=2.158, 95%CI: 1.479-3.149).
Conclusions
The occupational population at high risk of stroke have the demand for health management. Having received health management may affect the demand for health management among occupational population at high risk of stroke.

Objective:
To investigate the implementation of sex education and its influencing factors among preschool teachers in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, so as to provide insights into promoting the development of sex education, physical and mental health for preschool children.
Methods:
In January 2022, preschool teachers were sampled in 24 kindergartens in Longmatan District, Naxi District and Hejiang County of Luzhou City using the stratified random cluster sampling method. Demographic information, knowledge, attitudes, implementation of sex education, as well as difficulties, support, and needs in implementing sex education among preschool teachers were collected through questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting practice of sex education by preschool teachers were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 461 preschool teachers were included, including 456 females (98.92%), and had a median age of 28.00 (interquartile range, 9.50) years. The proportions of preschool teachers with good and pass of knowledge about sex education for preschool children were 10.20% and 57.48%, respectively. The proportions of preschool teachers with positive and general attitudes towards sex education were 28.20% and 36.44%, respectively. A total of 343 preschool teachers had implemented sex education (74.40%). A lack of a relaxed social environment was the main difficulty in carrying out sex education for preschool children (76.14%), while support from parents of preschool children was the primary need for conducting sex education activities (75.27%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (>30 years, OR=2.218, 95%CI: 1.256-3.917), kindergarten type (public, OR=2.101, 95%CI: 1.253-3.524), attitude towards sex education (positive, OR=2.083, 95%CI: 1.036-4.187), participation in activities related to sex education (OR=6.355, 95%CI: 3.362-12.015), and communication with parents about sex education (OR=5.399, 95%CI: 3.152-9.248) were influencing factors for practice of sex education by preschool teachers.
Conclusions
The main difficulty in the practice of sex education for preschool children by preschool teachers in Luzhou City is a lack of a relaxed social environment, and there is a high demand for support from parents. Age, kindergarten type, attitude towards sex education, participation in activities related to sex education, and communication with parents about sex education are associated factors.

Objective To improve the usage of foam dressing at the sacrococcygeal region and observe its application effect. Methods A total of 80 hospitalized patients with high risk of pressure ulcer were chosen during May to December 2015 as study objects. Patients were drawn into the observation group and the control group, each group contained 40 members. Proper-cutting foam dressings and normal foam dressing were applied in patients by the observation group and the control group individually. Researchers made records by comparing and analyzing the usage time of dressing and the skin intact of two groups. Results The observation group used foam dressing (1.88±0.12) blocks per person, foam dressing use time was (3.87±0.34) d per block, and in the control group, they were (2.60±0.38) blocks per person, (2.13±0.89) d per block, there was significant difference between two groups (t=11.427, 11.551, P<0.05). The skin integrity rate of the observation group and the control group were 95.0%(38/40) and 75.0%(30/40), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.275, P<0.05). Conclusions This study shows that the foam dressing need to be cut appropriately before pasting so that the clinical nurses can observe patient's skin conveniently. Once the skin has pressure red, the nurse can take timely measures to deal with it, which can decrease the incidence of pressure sores. The cutting dressing prolongs the period of using without removing the viscose part, which also can reduce the medical expenses.

Objective To explore the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria and risk factors for stroke‐associated pneumonia (SAP) in senile patients in order to privide basis for early clinical intervention .Methods A retrospective study was carried out to review the clinical data of 689 SAP patients treated at a university hospital between January 1 ,2011 and December 12 ,2013 . The pathogens from sputum and their antibiotic resistance profiles were analyzed .Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to screen relevant factors for stroke‐associated pneumonia (SAP) in a case‐control analysis at 1∶1 ratio .Results Of the 684 bacterial strains isolated from sputum , 545 (79 .7% ) were gram‐negative bacteria . The top bacterial species were Pseudomonasaeruginosa,Klebsiellapneumoniae,Acinetobacterbaumannii,and Enterobacterspp.Gram‐negativebacteria were highly resistant to most of the antimicrobial agents . About 31 .8% of the Acinetobacter strains were resistant to imipenem .A total of 139 (20 .3% ) gram‐positive strains were isolated . Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequently isolated gram‐positive pathogen (51 .8% ) , of which 63 .9% were resistant to methicillin (MRSA) .Most gram‐positive bacteria were sensitive to vancomycin , teicoplanin and linezolid . Multivariate Logistic regression suggested that age ( OR = 5 .632 ) , NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) score (OR= 4 .126) ,dysphagia (OR= 3 .481) , totally bedridden (OR=3 .431) ,mechanical ventilation (OR=4 .214) ,hyperglycemia (OR=2 .076) ,hypoalbuminemia (OR=2 .008) ,and high serum cortisol (OR=1 .825) were the major risk factors for SAP in senile patients .Conclusions Multiple antibiotic‐resistant pathogens are usually identified in the senile SAP patients .Early intervention to control the risk factors of SAP is important for prevention of SAP in senile patients .
