Objective To investigate the indoor air pollution of chaffy dish restaurant using different kinds of fuels or utensils. Methods The concentration of carbon monoxide (CO),carbon dioxide (CO2) and inhalable particle (IP) were determined 30,60,90,120 and 150 minutes respectively before and after the chaffy dish restaurants were opened in Mar. 2006. Results Before the restaurants were opened,the concentrations of CO and CO2 except IP did not exceed the standard limits. After opened,the concentrations of CO,CO2 and IP in chaffy dish restaurants which use different kinds of fuels or utensils exceed the standard limits in different degrees except the concentration of CO in chaffy dish restaurant using the infrared utensil. The concentration of CO in chaffy dish restaurant that used charcoal as fuel was the highest and more than the standard limits by 7 times. The concentrations of CO,CO2 and IP in chaffy dish restaurants which used the infrared utensil were obviously lower than those in which used the common liquefied gas utensil. The concentration of CO in chaffy dish restaurants which used charcoal as fuel was obviously higher than those used liquefied gas utensils. Conclusion The indoor air pollution of chaffy dish restaurants is extremely severe and it has the potential harm to the health of the customers in restaurants.

Objective To study the effect of fosinopril on the expression of NADPH oxidase subunit p22phox mRNA and the extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in the kidneys of rats with diabetes mellitus . Methods Diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin were randomly divided into control group(DM group) and fosinopril group (fosinopril 10 mg'kg-1·d-1) (DM+Fosin group) and treated for 12 weeks . Expression of p22phox mRNA of NADPH oxidase in kidneys was measured by RT-PCR . The expression of fibroneetin was studied by immunohistochemistry and matrix metalloproteinases 9 activity was detected by Zymography . Meanwhile, the kidney hypertrophy index, serum creatinine level and 24-hour urinary protein excretion were evaluated . Results The expression level of p22phox mRNA in the kidneys of DM+Fosin group rats was decreased by 45% than that of DM group at week 4 (P<0 .05) . At week 8 fosinopril significantly decreased the expression of glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibronectin by 52,5% and 42 .9% respectively (P<0 .05), while increased MMP-9 activity by 29 .6% (P<0 .05) compared with DM group . Fosinopril significantly decreased 24-hour urinary protein excretion of diabetic rats from week 8 . Serum creatinine level, 24-hour urinary protein excretion and kidney hypertrophy index were significantly decreased by 35 .9%, 50 .2% and 17 .2% in rats of DM+Fosin group than those of DM group at week 12 (P<0 .05) . Fosinopril did not affect blood sugar significantly . Conclusion Fosinopril has beneficial effect on diabetic nephropathy partly through inhibiting the expression of NADPH oxidase p22 phox mRNA .

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of combination of toy and cartoon video-assisted admission in preventing agitation during recovery from general anesthesia in preschool children.Methods:Totally 96 children who undergoing elective surgery from July 2018 to October 2019 in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center were divided into experimental group ( n=48) and control group ( n=48). Two groups were admitted to the general preoperative waiting room for 60 minutes before the operation, and children in the experimental group recieved toy and cartoon video combination intervention, while children in the control group were subjected to routine nursing intervention. The children′s agitation was assessed by using Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) when children entered the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 10 minutes after in PACU and leave PACU. In addition, the vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate of the two groups were also recorded. Results:The emergence time and duration of PACU stay in the experimental group were (17.19±1.76) minutes and (22.47±2.36) minutes, significantly shortern than in the control group (18.36±2.19) minutes and (23.82±2.62) minutes, the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.760, 2.546, P<0.05). 10 minutes after in PACU and out of PACU, the PAED scores, systolic pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate was [7.56±1.86, 4.60±1.19, (108.12±10.19)mmHg, (102.72±8.55) mmHg, (112.91±6.10) times/minute, (106.39±6.75) times/minute, (18.87±1.98) times/minute, (17.49±1.68) times/minute], significantly lower than those in the control group [13.40±1.47, 6.71±2.21, (116.73±14.17)mmHg, (107.62±12.44) mmHg, (121.07±8.07) times/minute, (114.69±5.78) times/minute, (20.96±1.86) times/minute, (18.47±1.63) times/minute], the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.162-16.332, P<0.05). Conclusion:Toy and cartoon video combine-assisted admission can reduce the agitation and stable vital signs during recovery from general anesthesia in preschool children.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of early digital-control pressure treatment for upper limb lymphedema in post-operative breast cancer patients. Methods A total of 60 breast cancer patients selected for nursing interventions according to operation time sequence number by simple random sampling and were equally divided into control group ( routine care ) and experimental group ( early digital-control pressure treatment,set pressure range according to the instrument manual settings and refering to patients' feel ). We measured and recorded the operative side of arm circumference which was 10 cm above limb cubital fossa before and after treatment. The nursing intervention effects of upper limb lymphedema was compared after 15 days. Results 15 days after the surgery, the upper extremity lymphedema patient had 16 cases accounting for 53. 3%, within which 11 cases ( 36. 7%) had mild one, 3 cases ( 10%) as moderate one, and 2 cases (6. 7%) severe one in the control group. However, there was just 4 cases mild edema without moderate and severe one in the experimental group. The difference was statistically significant in the comparing of upper extremity lymphedema rate (χ2 = 13. 16, P < 0. 01). Conclusions Early application of digital-control pneumatic instrument for nursing intervention in post-operative breast cancer patients can significantly reduce the occurrence degree of limb lymphedema and reduce its incidence.

Objective To investigate the current situation of maternal breastfeeding after the childbirth in Shanghai and analyze its influencing factors, so as to improve breastfeeding.Methods In this study, longitudinal follow-up and questionnaire designed based on the hospital were carried out on pregnant women at the outpatient department in eight baby-friendly hospitals of Shanghai from October 2015 to January 2016. The questionnaires included demographic characteristics and their prospective feeding method after the childbirth. Pregnant women were followed up until the delivery was finished. At the time of hospitalization discharge,they were given the 2nd questionnaire containing the basic situation after the delivery and the actual breastfeeding behavior situation.Results The rates of pregnant women with the intention of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding during the third trimester were 82.5% and 82.3% respectively. After the delivery,56.4% (399/707) of mothers were breastfeeding. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that,for primipara group, breastfeeding behavior after the delivery was related to five factors:the breastfeeding intention in third trimester, age,household register,the time of onset of lactation and whether the baby was in the care unit;for multiparas group,breastfeeding behavior was related to two factors:the time of onset of lactation and whether the baby was in the care unit.Conclusions Health care workers should attach importance to the promotion of breastfeeding during pregnancy for primipara group and pay attention to the health education of the mothers with registeredpermanent residence of Shanghai. During the hospitalization,health care workers should strictly implement the "early sucking,early contact" as the baby-friendly hospital required,strengthen the breastfeeding knowledge and skill training for mothers whose babies are in the maternal care unit,ensure the normal lactation of mothers without their babies so as to improve the early breast-feeding rate after the delivery.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a pilot intervention on setting up a hospital-based neonatal resuscitation leading group in 12 hospitals. Methods One provincial-level, two prefecturelevel and one county-level hospitals in Jiangxi, Liaoning and Hunan province were selected to participate in the intervention. A neonatal resuscitation leading group was set up in each hospital to investigate the mode of resuscitation practice training and re-training, improve and carry on the cooperation between obstetricians and pediatricians, record the steps of neonatal resuscitation of asphyxia cases and lead the exploration of the problems occurred during the process in their own hospital. The changes of asphyxia incidence and neonatal resuscitation process were analyzed to evaluate the effect of the intervention. Results (1) Incidence of neonatal asphyxia during intervention period: 315 neonatal asphyxia cases were recorded, among which 89.5 % (n = 282) were mild and 10. 5% (n=33) cases were severe asphyxia. The mean one-minute Apgar score was the lowest in county-level hospitals (5. 40±1.56), followed by provincial-level hospitals (5.63 ±1.67)and prefecture-level hospitals (6.03 ± 1.41). (2) Resuscitation was not performed according to the guidelines in 47. 9% (151/315) of asphyxia cases. Bag and mask ventilation was not performed according to guideline in 36. 5% (115/315) of cases. (3) Changes of asphyxia incidence after the intervention: the incidence of asphyxia in provincial-level (4.23 % vs 2.66 %, χ2 = 5. 021, P<0.05)and prefecture-level (2.83% vs 1.67%, χ2 = 4. 948, P<0.05) hospitals decreased significantly after the intervention. The incidence of severe asphyxia in both provincial-level (χ2 =3. 001, P>0.05) and prefecture-level (χ2= 0. 966, P> 0. 05) hospitals decreased with no statistical significance. The asphyxia incidence in county-level hospitals decreased from 2. 48% to 1. 22% (χ2 = 2. 989, P =0. 084). The incidence of severe asphyxia in county-level hospitals decreased from 0.39% to 0. 00%(χ2=2. 567, P= 0. 035). Conclusions Setting up a hospital-based neonatal resuscitation leading group is an effective method to strengthen resuscitation practice training, promote the cooperation between departments, improve the level of neonatal resuscitation practice and therefore decrease the incidence of neonatal asphyxia in the hospital.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the cytokine levels in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid and the brain injury in preterm infants. Methods From August of 2012 to August of 2013,51 preterm infants were included and 46 infants were survived. All of them were born at the Maternal and Child Hospital of Hubei Pro-vince,with GA≤32 weeks and high risk factors of intrauterine infection and suffering from early onset sepsis. Ac-cording to the screening findings of cerebral ultrasound and/or MRI,the infants were divided into normal group(n=28) and abnormal groups(n=18) with intracranial hemorrhage or white matter damage. The levels of interleukin(IL)-6,IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) in the serum within 12 hours after birth and in cerebrospinal fluid within 72 hours after birth were investigated. The differences in cytokines between two groups were compared with t-test and Chi-square test,and high risk factors of brain injury were analyzed by Logistic regression models. Results The ab-normal group had higher incidence of clinical maternal chorioamnionitis[44. 44%(8/18 cases) vs 14. 29%(4/28 ca-ses),χ2=5.168,P=0.038] and higher white blood cell count[(11.51±9.03)×109/L vs(6.95±5.64)×109/L,t=-2. 107,P=0. 041]. In the abnormal group,the levels of serum IL-6 [(44. 83±16. 31) ng/L],and IL-6,IL-1βand TNF-αin cerebrospinal fluid [(51. 85±15. 65) ng/L,(11. 95±2. 58) ng/L and(193. 11±67. 25) ng/L] were higher than those in the normal group[(36.83±8.76) ng/L,(42.56±12.89) ng/L,(10.26±2.91) ng/L and(160.56± 29. 02) ng/L,respectively] with the statistical difference(t=-2. 687,-2. 250,0. 269,-2. 243,P=0. 010,0. 029,0. 044, 0. 030). Maternal chorioamnionitis,higher serum TNF-αand cerebrospinal fluid IL-6 were high risk factors for brain in-jury(P=0. 014,0. 031,0. 047). Conclusion Increased systemic and cerebrospinal fluid cytokine levels are possibly re-lated to the preterm brain injury when intrauterine infection occurred.

Objective To evaluate the effects of community-based rehabilitation therapy on activitv of daily living performance of the Chinese stroke patients. Methods In a single blinded,randomized,controlled multicenter trial,737 consecutive stroke patients were stratified by two groups of cerebral infarction and hemorrhage. All the patients were randomly divided into a rehabilitation group and a control group.The patients in the rehabilitation group received atandardized community-based rehabilitation therapy,while those in the control group did not.All the patients were followed up for 5 months for evaluation of their performance with activity of daily living by using Modified Barthel Index before intervention,after follow-up 2 and 5 months,respectively. Results Patients in the rehabilitation group performed better in ADL as reflected by the Modified Barthel Index score than those in the control group after 5 months of intervention(P<0.05).Although both the rehabilitation group and control group improved over time,the rehabilitation group showed a greater improvement with the Modified Barthel Index scores when compared with the control group(P<0.01).After 5 months follow-up,the total gain of Modified Barthel Index scores was 26.28 and 32.89 for those with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage,respectively,in the rehabilitation group. In comparison,the gain of Modified Barthel Index scores was 7.65 and 2 1.70 for those with cerebral infarction and those with hemorrhage,respectively in the control group.This implies a difference in improvement of 1 8.63 in cerebral infarction group and 1 1.19 in hemorrhage group,in favor of the rehabilitation group. Conclusion Standardized community-based rehabilitation therapy may help stroke patients to improve their performance in activity of daily living significantly.
