Hairdressing professionals frequently encounter formaldehyde, a component found in hair products that are known to have various toxic effects on the human body, including alterations in the sense of smell. Methods: A total of 32 hairdressing volunteers exposed to formaldehyde and 32 non-exposed volunteers matched for age, sex, education and smoking status underwent the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT<sup>®</sup>). Results: The findings demonstrated a decrease in UPSIT<sup>®</sup> olfactory test scores and a higher degree of olfactory loss among hairdressers exposed to formaldehyde (mean UPSIT<sup>®</sup> scores: 30.6 vs 35.1, p Conclusion: Occupational exposure of hairdressers to formaldehyde is associated with diminished olfactory function. Education approach and promotion of personal protective equipment usage should be encouraged.展开更多

Methods： Sixty patients with mild cognition disorder were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group. Acupuncture-moxibustion treatment was used in the treatment group, while Western medicine was taken by the patients in the control group. The differences of intra-group and inter-group comparisons were assessed by 3 measurement scales including Mini-mental State Examination （MMSE）, Activity of Daily Living （ADL） and Montreal Cognitive Assessment （MoCA）. Results： After treatment, the MMSE, MoCA and ADL scores of both groups were higher than those before treatment （P〈0.05）. The MMSE, MoCA and ADL scores of the treatment group have more noticeable improvement than those of the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture-moxibustion treatment can effectively improve cognitive function of the patients with mild cognitive impairment.展开更多
