Background In 2021, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) emerged as the forth leading cause of death in the world. However, the impact of air pollutants on COPD is still inconsistent across current studies. Objective To analyze the relationship between ambient sulfur dioxide (SO₂) exposure and hospital admissions for COPD in Lanzhou, and to examine the modified effects of SO₂ across different genders, age groups, and seasons. Methods A total of 20718 hospital admission records for COPD were collected from Lanzhou between 2016 and 2020, alongside synchronized data on SO₂ concentration and meteorological variables. A generalized additive model integrated with a distributed lag nonlinear model was used to assess the relationship and the lag effects between SO₂ exposure and COPD admissions. Potential confounders, including meteorological factors, day-of-the-week effect, and holidays, were controlled for, with a maximum lag period set at 7 d. Two-pollutant models and sensitivity analyses were conducted to ensure robustness. Results are expressed as relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results During the study period, the average daily number of COPD admissions was 11.34±7.03. The average mass concentration of SO₂ was (23.72±12.35) μg·m⁻³. SO₂ exposure was positively correlated with COPD admissions; specifically, each 10 μg·m⁻³ increase in SO₂ concentration was associated with an RR of 1.440 (95%CI: 1.317, 1.573). Stratified analyses found that at a cumulative lag of 7 d, the RRs were higher among females, individuals aged ≥65 years, and during the cold season. Conversely, no significant increase in COPD admission risk related to SO₂ was observed during the warm season. For every 10 μg·m⁻³ increase in SO₂ concentration, the RR was 1.483 (95%CI: 1.311, 1.678) for females, 1.441 (95%CI: 1.311, 1.583) for those aged > 65 years， and 1.595 (95%CI: 1.313, 1.937) during the cold season. Conclusion Short-term exposure to ambient SO₂ exposure in Lanzhou is associated with an increased risk of COPD admission. The association is more pronounced among females, the elderly (aged> 65 years) and during the cold season.

Objective To analyze the detection results and distribution characteristics of serum allergen-specific immunoglobulin(Ig)E antibodies in patients with type Ⅰ allergic diseases(hereinafter referred to as allergic diseases)in Chongqing,and to provide epidemiological data and diagnostic evidence for the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases.Methods A total of 9189 patients who underwent allergen-specific IgE an-tibody detection in this hospital from January 2023 to February 2024 were included in the study.The positive cases of allergen specific IgE antibodies detection were statistically analyzed according to age groups,genders,and sea-sons,and the distribution characteristics and patterns of specific allergens were analyzed.Results Among the 9 189 patients with allergic diseases,4 143 cases showed positive allergen-specific IgE antibodies detection results,with a positive rate of 45.09％.The proportion of patients with multiple sensitization was 68.53％.The main inhalant allergens included Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus(28.95％),Dermatophagoides farinae(23.62％),and Blomia tropicalis(10.95％);while the main ingested allergens were milk(7.57％),shrimp/crab(2.84％),and egg white(1.98％).The positive rate of inhalant allergens was higher than that of ingested al-lergens.The positive rate of allergens in males was higher than that in females(P＜0.05).The allergens in infants and toddlers under 3 years old were mainly ingested and mostly sensitized by single allergen.The posi-tive rate of allergens and multiple sensitization rate were the highest in patients aged 12-＜18 years.The pos-itive rate of allergens was the lowest in patients over 60 years old.The positive rate of allergens was the high-est in autumn,and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae were the main allergens in all seasons.Conclusion Patients with allergic diseases in Chongqing exhibited the following characteristics:Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae are the main allergens,the positive rate of al-lergens in males is higher than that in females,the majority patients are 12-＜18 years old,and the disease is more prone to occur in autumn.These findings can provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of al-lergic diseases in this region.

Objective:To explore the effect of mobile health (mHealth) management system on dietary behavior of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, CHD patients who were hospitalized in Department of Cardiology of Beijing Anzhen Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University were selected as the research objects from June 2019 to January 2020. The research objects were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group using SAS software. Finally, 68 cases in the intervention group and 66 cases in the control group completed the study. The intervention group received mhealth management, while the control group received routine management, and they were followed up to 1 month after discharge. The proportion of patients with the low-salt and low-oil diet, the intake of salt, oil, staple food, vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, poultry and eggs, BMI and blood pressure were compared between the two groups.Results:At 1 month follow-up, the intervention group was better than the control group in terms of low salt and low oil diet, salt intake, oil intake and vegetable intake compliance, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . At 1 month follow-up, there were no statistically significant differences in BMI and blood pressure between two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:The mobile health system can effectively increase the proportion of patients with a low-salt and low-oil diet, and improve the intake compliance of salt, edible oil and vegetables in patients with CHD. In future studies, the intervention time should be extended to further explore the long-term intervention effect of mobile health and give full play to the role of mobile health in continuous behavior management of patients with CHD after discharge.

Objective To explore the relationship between SNPs in microRNA binding sites of ABCG5/8 and the glucolipid level during pregnancy.Methods 1 925 pregnant women were recruited at Peking Union Medical College hospital from 2006 to 2011.The clinical data were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples.ABCG5/8, which was reported to be related with the glucose and lipid metabolism closely, were selected as the candidate gene and the SNPs in its microRNA binding sites with minor allele frequency >5% in Han Chinese in Beijing were chosen.Then the genotyping was performed and analyzed.Results There was only one SNP matching the criteria, rs2278356, and it is significantly associated with LDL-C and TC level during pregnancy (LDL-C: b=0.104 mmol/L, 95% CI 0.023-0.185 mmol/L, P<0.05;TC: b=0.105 mmol/L, 95% CI 0.080-0.203 mmol/L, P<0.05).Conclusions The association of rs2278356 in 3′UTR of ABCG5/8 with LDL-C and TC level in pregnant Chinese Han women is found, which may provide an individualized treatment strategy for pregnant women with high cholesterol.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects of quercetin on the periodontal tissue in Wistar rats with periodontitis. Methods:30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n =1 0):Control group (group N),ligation group(group L)and liga-tion +quercetin group(group LQ).Bilateral first molars of the rats in group L and LQ were cervically ligated by an orthodontic wire with the diameter of 0.2 mm.The rats in group LQ were then treated with quercetin by gavage at 50 mg/(kg·d)after ligation.After 8 weeks,the rats were killed.Continuous slices of the periodontal tissue were made for HE staining and immunohistochemistry stai-ning.The morphological changes and the expression of TNF-αand COX-2 in the periodontal tissue were observed under light micro-scope.Results:The inflammatory cells and periodontal pocket were observed in group LQ were less than those in group L.The levels of TNF-α,COX-2 in group LQ were lower than that those in the group L(P <0.05).Conclusion:Quercetin has a protective effect on the periodontal tissues of Wistar rats with periodontitis.

Objective: To investigate if acupuncture can improve the curative effect of Western medicine on chronic prostatitis(CP). Methods: One hundred and ten patients with chronic prostatitis were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 80 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The clinical effects were evaluated according to cultures of bacteria in early-stream urine, midstream urine, prostate secretion(EPS) and after-massage urine(VB3). Results: Both the cure rate and the total efficacy rate were higher in the treatment group than in the control group(43/80 vs 10/30,P＜ 0.01; 75/80 vs 25/30, P＜ 0.05). In the treatment group there was no significant difference in curative effect between bacterial CP and nonbacterial CP(P ＞ 0.05). In the control group the curative effect on bacterial CP was significantly superior to that on nonbacterial CP. Conclusion: Treatment with combined acupuncture and medicine is a good therapy for nonbacterial CP.
