ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors of lung cancer in non-smoking Chinese women and to provide evidence for lung cancer prevention and control.Methods Information was collected on case-control studies published in the journals,both nationally and internationally from January,1995 to November,2014 that reported correlations between lung cancer and risk factors.Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of risk factors on lung cancer in non-smoking Chinese women were calculated,using the Meta-analysis method,with sensitivity and publication bias tested.Results Information on 24 case-control studies was selected including 11 946 cumulative cases and 12 596 controls.Pooled ORs (95％CI) were shown as:history of lung diseases 1.89 (1.57,2.27),history of tuberculosis 1.86 (1.53,2.27),history of chronic bronchitis 1.51 (1.04,2.19),family history of cancers 2.02 (1.67,2.44),family history of lung cancers 2.45 (1.80,3.34),passive smoking (at workplace in adult period 1.47 (1.28,1.69),at home in adulthood 1.22 (1.09,1.36),in all life's time 1.52 (1.29,1.79),kitchen smog while cooking 2.21 (1.27,2.96),position of kitchen 1.76 (1.48,2.09),and frequency of deep frying per week 2.24 (1.61,3.12) etc.respectively.Conclusion Major risk factors related to lung cancer in non-smoking Chinese women would include lung diseases,family history of cancers,and passive smoking (tobacco smog and cooking smog).Particularly,the combination of family history and the degree of cooking presented stronger correlation effects,indicating that genetic and environmental factors jointly played an important role in the development of lung cancer.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the impact of healthcare-associated septicemia (HAS)on hospitalization expense as well as length of hospital stay,so as to optimize the allocation of healthcare resources,and provide scientific basis for reducing the economic burden caused by septicemia.Methods Hospitalized patients with confirmed HAS in a tertiary first-class teaching hospital between June 1 ,2012 and May 31 ,2015 were investigated retrospectively,con-trol group was set up in a 1 :1 ratio,hospitalization expense and length of hospital stay between two groups were compared.Results A total of 285 cases and 285 controls were enrolled in the study,the median of hospitalization expense in case group was higher than control group (￥19 718.39 vs ￥9 289.04,P <0.05);the median of length of hospital stay in case group was longer than control group (14.89 days vs 9.22 days,P <0.05).The disease bur-den caused by septicemia in different age groups and departments were different.The improvement rate of case group was lower than control group (76.49% [218/285 ]vs 83.51 % [238/285 ],χ2 = 2.562,P = 0.009 ). Conclusion As the common blood stream infection in hospitalized patients,septicemia not only increased the ex-pense of diagnosis and treatment,but also affected turnover rate of hospital bed.Rapid and effective diagnosis and treatment is significant o prevent and control septicemia.
