Objective:To investigate prevalent aeroallergens in ChongQing and their sensitization risk factors in children with allergic diseases,especially asthma.Methods:Skin prick tests with 13 standardized aeroallergens and questionnaires were used.A total of 298 patients,aged between 4~15 years and were diagnosed with allergic asthma and or allergic rhinitis,were investigated.Results:The total positive rate of allergen was 84.9%(253/298).The prevalence of aeroallergens were following:the first was house dust mite,cockroach followed,the third one was cat dander;the positive family history of asthma was 69.6%(116/230),asthma and rhinitis accounted for 67.2%(78/116)。Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that house dust mite was an independent risk factors for asthma(odds ratio Value(OR):2.602,95%CI:1.672～7.488),air conditioning had strong relationship with it(OR:1.659,95%CI:1.139～5.942).Conclusion:House dust mite is the major allergen of allergic diseases,especially asthma in ChongQing.Air conditioning is one of important risk factors for house dust mite sensitization.

Objective:To prepare Pingwei dispersible tablets and establish a method for the determination of atractylodin. Meth-ods:HPLC was performed on a Kromasil C18 column(250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm)using methanol-water(75:25)as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was at 340nm. The column temperature was 30℃ and the injection volume was 10 μl. Results:The optimized formula of the tablets was as follows:the proportion of inner disintegrant microcrystalline cellulose,out-side disintegrant carboxymethyl cellulose sodium and HPMC was 40%,9% and 2%,respectively. The adhesive was 2% HPMC in 70% ethanol,and 1. 5% magnesium stearate was used as the lubricant. The linear range of atractylodin was 0. 100 6-0. 503 0 μg(r=0. 999 9),and the average recovery was 99. 3%(RSD=0. 9%,n=6). Conclusion:The formula and the preparation process of the tablets are reasonable and the content determination method is simple,accurate and specific,which can be used in the quality control of Pingwei dispersible tablets.

Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease. Its main manifestation is bilateral internal carotid artery progressive stenosis w ith abnormal vascular netw ork formation of the compensatory hyperplasia in brain base. The pathological mechanism of moyamoya disease is not clear. Grow ing evidence has suggested that immune inflammation may play an important role in its occurrence and development process. Abnormal expression of various inflammatory cytokines and immune proteins can be observed in patients w ith moyamoya disease. This article review s the possible mechanism of immune inflammation in moyamoya disease in recent years.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in children with malformed inner ear and compare them with a group of congenitally deaf children implantees with a normal inner ear.METHODS 21 children with inner ear malformation were retrospectively studied. The postoperative outcomes of these 21 cases were compared with that of 21 cases with normal inner ear structure. The assessment of all the children included the hearing levels, language ability , categories of auditory performance (CAP) and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) respectively before cochlear implantation, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. The data was analyzed using SPSS 17.0. RESULTS The results of rehabilitation in 9 children with Large Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome and 6 cases with Mondini abnormality had no significant difference comparing with the control cases. The outcomes of 1case with severe Mondini abnormality and 5 cases with common cavity indicated significant worse than the control cases. CONCLUSION The effect of rehabilitation had no difference between the children with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome and the cases with normal inner structure after cochlear implantation, but was poorer in children with severe Mondini abnormality and common cavity. It was necessary to evaluate the degree of malformation of inner ear structure before cochlear implantation. The hearing abilities have improved quickly 6 months after cochlear implantation. The language abilities will need at least one year to get improved while the SIR need even more time. The development of language functions requires individualized rehabilitation guidance and integrated education.

Objective To investigate the effects of CO 2 pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) on pulmonary functions in chronic pulmonary failure rabbits and their mechanisms. Methods A total of 50 healthy male rabbits ( oryctolagus cuniculus ) were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group (N 0: n=5, no pneumoperitoneum), experimental control group (T 0: n=5, no pneumoperitoneum), 10 mmHg experimental group (T 10 : n=20, 10 mmHg pneumoperitoneum) and 15 mmHg experimental group (T 15 : n=20, 15 mmHg pneumoperitoneum). After the successful establishment of emphysema rabbit models, CO 2 pneumoperitoneum was conducted and maintained for 2 hours at the pressure of 10 mmHg (1.33 kPa) and 15 mmHg (2.00 kPa), respectively. Pulmonary functions (total respiratory resistance, central resistance and total airway resistance) of the 4 groups were measured by pulse oscillation technique before and after the pneumoperitoneum, respectively. Results Total respiratory resistance, central resistance and total airway resistance increased after the establishment of emphysema models. And they decreased at the end of pneumoperitoneum compared with those before pneumoperitoneum ( q=17.824, P

Objective To study the influence of serum containing Ziqi Ruangan Pill on inhibitory effect of alcohol LO2 and to investigate the regulation on apoptosis related genes and the protective mechanism for LO2. Methods Rabbit sera saline containing Ziqi Ruangan Pill was prepared. The apoptotic LO2 model was established by being cultured with alcohol. The effect of serum on the model was detected by MTT method. Identification of apoptosis was carried out using flow cytometry and Hoechst3325 fluorescent staining. The expression of apoptotic inducing gene,casepase3 and NF-?B was detected by Real-time RT PCR and Western-Blot. Results The serum containing Ziqi Ruangan Pill could regulate the expression of the casepase3,NF-?B and reduce the apoptosis. Conclusion Ziqi Ruangan Pill can protect the LO2 by regulating the expression of apoptosis stimulative gene casepase3 and NF-?B.

The changes of immune system following stroke mainly includes the local inflammatory responses of brain tissue and the systemic immunological changes, The former may exacerbate brain damage following stroke, the latter may increase the susceptibility to infection, and thus impact on brain function recovery and prognosis. Stroke interferes with the normal balance between the nervous system and the immune system, and its mechanism remains unclear. This article reviews the stroke-indnced immunological alterations and their mechanisms,as well as the corresponding treatment strategies in clinical practice.

Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is a seldom disease in clinical practice. Its most common clinical manifestations are hearing loss and ataxia. It is a hemosiderin deposition in the surface of the brain and spinal cord after chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging can make the diagnosis. However, further research and clinical verification are needed.

Posterior capsule opacification(PCO) is a common postoperative complication of cataract surgery.PCO is usually caused by the proliferation,migration,epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT),collagen deposition,and lens fiber regeneration of residual lens epithelial cells(LECs).Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) has been proposed as the most important factor driving the trans-differentiation and pathologic fibrosis of LECs.A variety of studies have elucidated that the Smad signaling pathway plays a critical role in the transduction of TGF-β signal.However,there are still other signaling pathways which may be activated downstream by TGF-β,including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt(PI3 K/Akt),Rho,Wnt and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways.This review highlights recent advances in the study of the signaling pathway of TGF-β in the pathological process of PCO.
