At the First World Conference of Lung Cancer (Wyndwer, 1983), it was stressed that more attention should be paid to finding out the causes of lung cancer in non-smokers.In Xuanwei County, Yunnan Province, annual lung cancer death rate was 27.7 per 100,000 in males, among China's highest, and 25.3 per 100,000 in females, the China's highest. The female's lung cancer death rate in Xuanwei County was even much higher than that of the same period in USA white women (ECACM, 1979; Mulvihill, 1976). Marked district variation in cancer mortality exists within Xuanwei County. The county can be divided into high-, medium- and low-mortality areas. Over 90% of the population arc farmers. The local residents traditionally burned three major kinds of fuels: 'smoky' coal, 'smokeless' coal and 'wood', for heating and cooking. The three lung cancer high mortality areas, including 'Chengguan', 'Rongcheng' and 'Laibin' communes, mainly burned the 'smoky' coal from Laibin smoky-coal mine. The fuel was burned in a shallow, unventilated fire pit in the floor of the dwelling. Fuel burning in shallow unventilated pits has resulted in high indoor air pollution levels. The concentrations of airborne particles (pm 10) inside houses during smoky coal and wood combustion were very high. Indoor concentration of suspended particulates and dichloromethane extractable organics were 24.4mg/m3 and 17.6mg/m3 in burning of 'smoky' coal; 22.3mg/m3, 12.3mg/m3 for burning wood; and 1.8mg/m3, O.Smg/m-1 for burning of smokeless coals. Levels of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzo(a)pyrene, were generally highest during burning of smoky coal, intermediate in burning wood, and least in smokeless coal. Women did most household chores, which include starting fire and cooking. Less than 0.2% of females smoked tobacco. The population-based case-control study presented here is 展开更多

One of the most common complications following the extraction of third mandibular molar teeth is dry socket (alveolar osteitis). Dry socket is the delayed healing of the wound of the alveolar bone after dental extractions. The purpose of this study was to determine if the intra-alveolar application of Clindamycin could reduce the incidence of dry socket following the extraction of third mandibular molar tooth. Patients who qualified for the prospective, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial were randomly divided into 2 groups, each group 30 patients. The first group (30 patients) included smokers and the second group (30 patients) included non smokers. Both groups had the mandibular third molar extracted in both sides at the same time. In total, 120 third molars were extracted. The left site was a study group in which we applied the clindamycin and the right site was a control group. The patients were also divided by gender. Dry socket occurred in 3.3% of cases for patients whom were given Clindamycin, regardless of their smoking habits, as opposed to 31.7% for those who did not receive the antibiotic. Results clearly showed that Clindamycin had a huge impact on reducing dry socket regardless of smoking habits.展开更多

A literature review showed that the behaviour of parents and peers, attitudes and expectations were crucial factors for the smoking habits of adolescents. Young adults would more likely start smoking if their parents, older siblings and/or friends were smokers. Parental support has been proven to be a preventive factor against smoking, especially if the school and leisure centers get involved. Group pressure, directly or indirectly, is often described as the most important reason why adolescents start smoking. The purpose was to study why some adolescents choose to be smoke-free in a society where the norm is to smoke. Methods: Adolescents who were non-smokers were interviewed in focus groups. The material was analysed using content analysis. Results: The contents analysis of the text resulted in eleven categories. Based on these, four themes were developed. These themes covered areas on the reasons for being smoke-free;how the smoke-free adolescents generally felt about smokers from a society or environment perspective, and also specifically from an individual perspective, such as how smokers took up space and did not show any consideration. There was a feeling among non-smokers of not belonging and of ambivalence, as well as a perspective of the future for adolescents in Greenland and an uncertainty about what would be required for a smoke-free environment. Conclusions: In a context where the norm is to smoke, the adolescents need to make a conscious choice to be smoke-free, and there were different reasons for this choice. This choice means becoming an outsider in their group of peers as well as the overall social culture. Smokers were seen as taking up too much space, as their needs ruled and this was deemed inconsiderate.展开更多
