Recently, many researchers paid more attentions to the association between air pollution and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Haze, a severe form of outdoor air pollution, affected most parts of northern and eastern China in the past winter. In China, studies have been performed to evaluate the impact of outdoor air pollution and biomass smoke exposure on COPD; and most studies have focused on the role of air pollution in acutely triggering symptoms and exacerbations. Few studies have examined the role of air pollution in inducing pathophysiological changes that characterise COPD. Evidence showed that outdoor air pollution affects lung function in both children and adults and triggers exacerbations of COPD symptoms. Hence outdoor air pollution may be considered a risk factor for COPD mortality. However, evidence to date has been suggestive (not conclusive) that chronic exposure to outdoor air pollution increases the prevalence and incidence of COPD. Cross-sectional studies showed biomass smoke exposure is a risk factor for COPD. A long-term retrospective study and a long-term prospective cohort study showed that biomass smoke exposure reductions were associated with a reduced decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and with a decreased risk of COPD. To fully understand the effect of air pollution on COPD, we recommend future studies with longer follow-up periods, more standardized definitions of COPD and more refined and source-specific exposure assessments.
The diameters of the optic nerves in 54 patients with high intracranial pressure(ICP)were checked and measured with B type ultrasonic tomography and the relationship between thewidth of optic nerve and the optic papiliedema was studied. The results showed that the average diameter (6. 324-0.53)mm of the optic nerves in patients with high ICP was wider than that(3.61 ~:0.29 )mm in health subjects (P(0.01). The rate of increasing width of optic nerve (87.00%)was higher than that (67.00~)of papilledema (P(0.05). In addition,in 19 patients with ICP between 1.97 and 2.50 kPa, the rate of increasing width of optic nerve (79. 00~)was higher than that (42.00%)of papilledema (P (0. 05). These results indicated that measuring the diameter of optic nerve might be more practical than observing tile presence of papilledema in diagnosing high ICP,especially in early stage. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 86-87）
Objective To probe into disorder of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in patients with gallstone,and their position and function in formation of gallstone. MethodsConcentration of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in 94 healthy subjects and 161 patients with gallstones was investigated. ResultsThe gallstone group had a higher serum mean concentration of TG,Apo CⅡ,Apo CⅢ, and had a lower serum mean concentration of TC，HDLc，HDL2c，HDL3c and LDLc as compared with the control group (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05). Conclusion Higher serum mean concentration of TG，Apo CⅡ，Apo CⅢ, and lower serum mean concentration of TC, HDLc, HDL2c, HDL3c and LDLc, are characteristic of lipids metabolism and important cause of formation of gallstone.

Conclusion The isolated CHRPE is round or oval black lesion in ocular fundus which lack of subjective symptoms, mostly located on the peripheral retina; the FFA characteristics showed blocked fluorescence and transmitted fluorescence, and CHRPE often misdiagnosed as other disease, it should be combine the ocular fundus manifestation with the FFA to diagnose properly.
Objective To analyse the content and structure of the health management policy text for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China, and to provide a reference for the optimization and improvement of subsequent relevant policies. Methods We searched for relevant policy documents on COPD health management at the national level from January 2017 to December 2023, constructed a two-dimensional analysis framework for policy tools and chronic disease health management processes, coded and classified policy texts, and used content analysis method to analyze policy texts. Results Twenty-four policy texts were included. There were 183 codes for policy tool dimension, with supply based, environmental based, and demand based tools accounting for 43.72%, 47.54%, and 8.74%, respectively. There were 124 codes for the dimension of health management processes, with health information collection and management accounting for 12.10%, risk prediction accounting for 14.52%, intervention and treatment accounting for 66.13%, and follow-up and effectiveness evaluation accounting for 7.26%. Conclusions At present, the proportion of policy tools related to the management of COPD in China needs to be dynamically adjusted. Environmental tools should be appropriately reduced, the internal structure of supply tools should be optimized, the driving effect of demand tools should be comprehensively enhanced, the coupling of COPD health management processes should be strengthened, and the relevant policy system and overall quality should be continuously improved.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Heart sound classification plays a key role in the early detection of CVD. The difference between normal and abnormal heart sounds is not obvious. In this paper, in order to improve the accuracy of the heart sound classification model, we propose a heart sound feature extraction method based on bispectral analysis and combine it with convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify heart sounds. The model can effectively suppress Gaussian noise by using bispectral analysis and can effectively extract the features of heart sound signals without relying on the accurate segmentation of heart sound signals. At the same time, the model combines with the strong classification performance of convolutional neural network and finally achieves the accurate classification of heart sound. According to the experimental results, the proposed algorithm achieves 0.910, 0.884 and 0.940 in terms of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity under the same data and experimental conditions, respectively. Compared with other heart sound classification algorithms, the proposed algorithm shows a significant improvement and strong robustness and generalization ability, so it is expected to be applied to the auxiliary detection of congenital heart disease.
Objective To measure and compare the difference between the normal control and retinoschisis with multifocal electroretinography. Methods Nineteen cases (21 eyes) of normal control and 8 cases (15 eyes) of inherited retinoschisis were measured with VERIS ScienceTM 4.0.Three cases (6 eyes) of inherited retinoschisis were tested with Ganzfeld ERG. Results There was statistically significant difference of average response density and latencies in all 6 ring retinal regions between the normal control and retinoschisis. The topography of multifocal ERG showed that multifocal amplitude decreased with disappearing or decreasing of central peak amplitude in patients with retinoschisis. The P1/N1ratio of the multifocal ERG average response densities in 6 ring retinal regions was different from the b/a ratio of the Ganzfeld ERG. Conclusion Each of the multifoca l ERG and Ganzfeld ERG has its advantage in the diagnosis of the retinoschisis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:268-270)
Objective To evaluate the variability of four parameters of multi-focal electroretinogram (mERG) a-wave amplitude, b-wave amplitude, awave latent period, b-wave latent period. Methods Sixty normal eyes of 46 volunteers were divided into 3 groups of different ages. RETIscan 3-12 system was used to carry out mERG examination. The stimulus matrix of 61 hexagonal elements spanning the central 24deg;of the visual field. These hexons were scaled with eccentricity and divide d into 5 rings. First-order kernel was selected. Results The variability of four parameters of mERG was great. The variability of b-wave latent period was the smallest, its coefficient of variatian was 4.52%～15.62%；that of a-wave latent period held the second place:10.29%~48.67%；that of b-wave amplitude was greater:25.92%~76.11%；that of a-wave amplitude was the greatest:43.82%~88.23%. The results of three groups showed that b-wave amplitude of ring 1 had the smallest variability. Conclusions The variability of latent period is smaller than that of amplitude; the variability of b-wave was smaller than that of a-wave. The longer the centrifugal distance, the lower the amplitude density of a-wave and b-wave. Physiological and anatomical factors might be important for the variability of parameters of multi-focal electroretinogram. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:277-279)
