Objective: To investigate the indoor fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) pollution and its influencing factors in children s bedrooms using solid fuel, so as to provide evidence for effective strategy to reduce PM 2.5 pollution. Methods: From December 2019 to November 2020, 198 households (108 in the north, 90 in the south) from two pilots in the north(Jiamusi in Heilongjiang Province) and south of China (Mianyang in Sichuan Province) were selected, and status of solid fuels using were obtained through home visits, dynamic changes in PM 2.5 concentrations in children s bedrooms were monitored by using real time online instruments, and the influencing factors of PM 2.5 pollution were analyzed by using a mixed effects model. Results: During the monitoring period, the daily PM 2.5 concentrations in the northern and southern pilot were 78.33 (40.50, 154.80) and 38.54(26.20, 58.46) μg/m 3, respectively, exceeding standard rates of 44.57% and 33.22%. During the heating period, the daily PM 2.5 concentrations in the northern and southern pilot were 212.50(133.60,244.10) and 104.42(73.97, 134.90) μg/m 3, respectively, with over standard rates of 96.75% and 86.96%. The mixed effects model analysis results showed that children s bedroom PM 2.5 concentrations were associated with solid fuel usage duration, window opening time, room layout (shared entrance door between kitchen and bedroom), indoor smoking, indoor humidity, and solid fuel use in the bedroom ( β =0.19, -0.05, 1.20, 0.43, 0.02, 0.35, all P <0.05). Conclusion Solid fuel combustion significantly comtributes to PM 2.5 pollution in children s bedrooms, with more pronounced impacts observed in northern China compared to southern regions.

Objective To investigate the effect of nursing intervention based on Kano model on surgical outcomes and negative emotions in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods A to-tal of 262 DR patients who underwent vitrectomy were randomly divided into control group(n=131)and observation group(n=131)using the random number table method.The control group received routine nursing intervention,while the observation group received nursing intervention based on the Kano model.The surgical outcomes[visual acuity level and improvement in visual function],nursing needs[Perioperative Nursing Needs Questionnaire for DR Surgical Patients],negative emotions[Self-Rat-ing Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)],and quality of life[Chinese Version of Low Vision Quality of Life Scale(CLVQOL)]were compared between the two groups.The incidence of complications during the intervention period was also recorded in both groups.Results After interven-tion,the visual acuity levels in both groups increased compared to those before intervention,and the rates of low vision decreased(P＜0.001).The visual acuity level in the observation group was high-er,and the rate of low vision was lower than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).After intervention,the scores for peripheral visual field,sensory adaptation,and limitations in daily activities decreased in both groups compared to those before intervention,and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,the SAS and SDS scores in both groups decreased compared to those before interven-tion,and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.001).After intervention,the CLVQOL scores in both groups increased compared to those before the intervention,and the score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.001).The incidence of complications in the control group was higher than that in the obser-vation group(12.22％versus 4.58％,P＜0.05).Conclusion Nursing intervention based on the Kano model can improve visual acuity level,visual function,and negative emotions,enhance the quality of life,and further reduce the incidence of complications in DR patients undergoing vitrectomy.

To investigate the common specific immunoglobulin E(sIgE) in children with eczema and urticaria, compare the allergies in children with different diseases, genders and ages, and provide the scientific basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment. A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the children who were suspected of eczema and urticaria and tested for serum sIgE in the Tianjin Children's Hospital from December 2019 to August 2021. A total of 8 092 serum samples were tested for ten food allergens and ten inhaled allergens. The method was the enzyme-linked immune capture assay. The allergen epidemiological characteristics were statistically analyzed by Chi square test based on the children's characteristics and factors such as different sexes and ages and by the mass data. The results showed that the positive rate of eczema was 64.42%(5 213/8 092), and the urticaria was 35.58%(2 879/8 092). The positive rate of specific IgE was 66.65%(5 393/8 092), the food allergens was 61.74%(4 996/8 092), and the inhaled allergens was 34.85%(2 820/8 092). The top three positive rates of food allergens were egg 46.65%(3 775/8 092), milk 32.64%(2 641/8 092) and wheat flour 15.08%(1 220/8 092). The top three positive rates of inhaled allergens were house dust 21.40%(1 732/8 092), Alternaria 11.78%(953/8 092) and Dermatophagoides farinae 7.33%(593/8 092). The positivity of food allergens and inhaled allergens was significantly different in different age groups. The positive rates of food allergens in different age groups were 48.92%(947/1 936) in<1 year old, 72.28%(2 680/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 64.58%(919/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 43.90%(450/1 025) in>6 years old. The positive rates of inhaled allergens in different age groups were 17.67%(342/1 936) in<1 year old, 36.35%(1 348/3 708) in 1-3 years old, 46.38%(660/1 423) in 4-6 years old and 45.85%(470/1 025) in>6 years old. The top six positive rates of allergens of eczema were the same with urticaria, which were egg, milk, house dust, wheat flour, Alternaria and Dermatophagoides farinae. The allergens (greater than or equal to grade 4) differed in children with eczema and urticaria. Moreover, there were significant differences in the positive rates of Alternaria, egg, wheat flour, crab and shrimp. In conclusion, this study can reflect the epidemic characteristics of allergens in children with eczema and urticaria to a certain extent. There were significant differences in the positive rates of allergens between different age groups. It is necessary to reasonably avoid the high-risk allergens according to the epidemiological characteristics and clinical symptoms, which provide valuable information for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases.

Objective: To understand the vaccination of varicella attenuated live vaccine (VarV) among students in collective institutions, to provide a basis for analying the protective effect of vaccination. Methods: All collective institutions with chickenpox epidemic and post exposure vaccination in Jing an District from 2017 to 2019 were investigated. All students( n =6 473) in the affected class were included. Vaccination status and the incidence information of disease were collected to analyze vaccine effectiveness (VE). Results: The proportion of study subjects without an immunization history decreased year by year, and 7.5% in 2017, 7.2 % in 2018, and 4.9% in 2019. The proportion with a history of one dose prior to exposure in cases was 90.0%, it was lower than 93.5% in the non cases ( χ 2=6.53, P <0.05). The proportion with one dose as post exposure prophylaxis in cases was 8.3%, it was much lower than 44.1% in the non cases ( χ 2=179.06, P <0.01). The proportion with one dose as post exposure prophylaxis in secondary cases was 28.6%, much lower than 44.1% in the non cases ( χ 2=9.44, P <0.01).Unvaccinated ones and the second dose as post exposure prophylaxis ones in cases had the highest rate of varicella development (11.0%), a history of one dose prior to exposure and one dose as post exposure prophylaxis in cases had the lowest varicella rate (1.0%).There was a clear protective effect within two years after one dose of VarV inoculation, VE was 63.1%(95% CI =11.0%-84.7%). Conclusion The vaccine effectiveness of one dose VarV was limited. Post exposure prophylaxis as early as possible was highly effective in decreasing secondary attack rate.
