ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the dietary patterns and related factors among urban middle school students in Guangzhou, and to provide the scientific reference for conducting nutritional education and intervention among the middle school students.@*Methods@#Questionnaire survey was conducted for students in two grades (grade 1 of 27 junior and senior high schools) and their parents along with the physical examination for urban primary and secondary school students in Guangzhou. Dietary patterns were established by exploratory factor analysis. Multinomial Logistic regression model was used for analyzing influencing factors of dietary pattern.@*Results@#Three major dietary patterns were identified. Type I (37.09%) was a healthy dietary pattern; type II (33.37%) and III (29.54%) were classified into western dietary patterns. Multinomial Logistic regression models showed that living on campus (ORⅡ=1.57, 95%CI:1.33-1.85; ORⅢ=1.28, 95%CI:1.07-1.52), screen time≥2 h/d (ORⅡ=2.89, 95%CI:2.51-3.33; ORⅢ=2.14, 95%CI:1.85-2.48) were positively associated with type II and III. The monthly household income per capita≥5 000 yuan (ORⅢ=1.31, 95%CI:1.14-1.51) was positively associated with type III. Senior students (ORⅡ=0.83, 95%CI:0.73-0.95; ORⅢ=0.74, 95%CI:0.64-0.85), the level of parental education (ORⅡ=0.64, 95%CI:0.52-0.79; ORⅡ=0.67, 95%CI:0.54-0.82; ORⅢ=0.72, 95%CI:0.58-0.90; ORⅢ=0.73, 95%CI:0.59-0.89) had a negative association with type II and III.@*Conclusion@#There are three dietary patterns among urban middle school students in Guangzhou. The main influencing factors include parental education, screen time, grade, resident situation, and monthly household income per capita.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association between pet ownership and lung function in children without asthma,and to provide scientific basis for the improvement of lung function in children. Methods Data was drawn from the cross-sectional study ,the clusters were randomly selected from 1 to 2 junior middle schools and primary schools in 24 administrative regions of seven cities in Liaoning Province. The ATS questionnaire survey was performed,and lung function including the forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),forced vital capacity (FVC),maximal mid-expiratory flow(MMEF)and peak expiratory flow(PEF)was measured by utilizing portable electronic spirometers. Results In this study ,about 6280 children without asthma aged 7 ~ 14 years were enrolled,49.47 % of the children was male. The average lung function of FVC,FEV1,PEF and MMEF was (2.63±0.75)L,(2.47 ± 0.70)L,(4.80 ± 1.42)L/s and(3.37±1.05)L/s,respectively. By adjusting confounding fac-tors,we found pet ownership in the first 2 years of life was significantly associated with the predicted lung function impairment of FVC<85%(aOR=1.30;95%CI:1.01~1.67);current pet ownership was significantly associated with the predicted lung function impairment of FVC < 85%(aOR = 1.32;95% CI:1.09 ~ 1.61),the predicted FEV1<85%(aOR=1.47;95%CI:1.19~1.83),the predicted PEF<75%(aOR=1.48;95%CI:1.16~1.88) and the predicted MMEF<75%(aOR=1.35;95%CI:1.09~1.66). The in utero exposure was not related to lung function impairment. Conclusion Pets ownership has damaging effects on lung function in children without asth-ma,and it reduces FVC,FEV1,PEF and MMEF in children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the professional attitudes and occupational values of undergraduate students and to compare the differences between the first-year and fourth-year students? Method A scale concerning the professional attitude and a questionnaire concerning the occupational values were used to investigate the occpational values in 196 first-year and fourth year college nursing students? Results The professional attitude score of the first-year students was(6?7±1?3),which was significantly higher than that of the fourth students(5?3±1?1,P = 0?027)? The occupational value on the hygiene factor of the first-year students was significantly higher than that of the fourth-year students(P < 0?001)? The occupational value of reputation and social status,development between the students of the two grades achieved no significant difference? Conclusions The professional attitude and occupational value of students from different grades are different? The professional attitude and occupational value of the senior students tend to be rational?
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe effect of Kechuanning on expression of nuclear factor kB(NF-?B) in lung tissue of bronchial asthmatic rats.Methods: 40 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: the normal group,the model group,Kechuanning high-dose group(27g/kg),Kechuanning low-dose group(13.5g/kg),GuilongKechuanning control group(0.45g/kg),8 rats in each group.The bronchial asthmatic model was established by egg protein sensibilization and long-term inhalation provocation.The rats of each treatment groups were lavage administration each day from the first time of provocation to execution.After 4 weeks of treatment,the rats were killed and lung tissue were taken to dyeing of HE to be observed.The expression of NF-?B in lung tissue were determined by immunohistochemistry.Result: Compared with the normal group,the thickness of bronchus wall and bronchus smooth muscle,the numbers of eosinophile granulocyte and leukomonocyte,and expression of NF-?B in lung tissue were increased in the model group(P
