[Effects of Temperature on Outpatient Visits for Urticaria among Lanzhou Residents Based on Distributed Lag Non-linear Model].

Objective To evaluate the influence of temperature on the outpatient visits for urticaria in Lanzhou City and its hysteresis and to find out the sensitive populations by sex and age stratification.Methods We collected the urticaria outpatient data in three grade A class three hospitals as well as the meteorological data and air pollutant data in Lanzhou from January 2011 to December 2017.The distributed lag non-linear model(DLNM)was employed to analyze the influence of daily mean temperature on the outpatient visits for urticaria.

[Effects of Air Pollutants on Outpatient Visits for Atopic Dermatitis in Lanzhou].

Objective To quantitatively evaluate the associations of PM,PM,NO,and SO concentrations with the outpatient visits for atopic dermatitis in Lanzhou. Methods The data of outpatient visits,together with meteorological data and air pollutant data,from January 2013 to December 2017 were collected.The generalized additive model based on Poisson distribution was employed to study the lag effects of PM,PM,NO,and SO concentrations on the visits of outpatients,with the seasonal and long-term trends and day-of-the-week effect controlled.

A cross-sectional study using the national standard to examine differences between public and private non-profit nursing homes in China.

Aim: Most studies on nursing home quality focus on developed countries, with little coverage in developing countries. Our study aimed to compare the differences between Chinese public and private non-profit nursing homes using the latest national standard.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted including 232 nursing homes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, China.

[Effect of Gaseous Pollutant Concentration on the Number of Daily Outpatient Visits for Acne in Lanzhou].

Objective To determine the relationship between air pollutants [SO,NO,8 hours average concentration of ozone(O8h)] and outpatient visits for acne in Lanzhou,China. Methods Data of daily outpatient visits for acne and concentrations of air pollutants(SO,NO,and O8h)from January 2013 to December 2017 were collected.With the control of long-term trend and day-of-week effect,a distributed lag nonlinear model was used to analyze the lag and cumulative effects of air pollutants on the outpatient visits.

Primary Burkitt's lymphoma of the breast without Epstein-Barr virus infection: A case report and literature review.

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive neoplasm, which arising from the germinal center or post germinal center B-cell. Primary breast lymphomas are extremely rare, and the most common histologic type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Primary BL of the breast is much less common than the other types of lymphoma.

Luminescence of er doped ZnS quantum dots excited by infrared lasers.

ZnS:Er quantum dots were prepared in aqueous medium from readily available precursors. The construction, morphology and luminescence properties of the ZnS:Er quantum dots were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and photoluminescence spectra. The average particle size was calculated using the Scherrer formula to be 4 nm, which is also observed from high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image.
