Objective The article was to observe the clinical efficacy of the application of terbinafine and mizolastine in com -bined treatment of chronic eczema ( CE) with dermatophytes infection , so as to define the etiology role of dermatophytes in allergic dis-eases. Methods All subjects were randomly divided into experiment group and control group .The experiment group was treated with the combination of terbinafine and mizolastine , while the control group took mizolastine orally alone .EASI grading , recovery rate and effective rate were evaluated at 2, 3 week after the treatment and EASI grading and recurrence rate were evaluated at 4 weeks after the treatment. Results 79 patients had finished the experiment .Significant difference was found in the effective rates between two groups at 3 weeks after treatment (P<0.05).At 4 weeks after the treatment, EASI value and recurrence rate in experiment group were obviously lower than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Good therapeutic effect has been achieved through the ap-plication of terbinafine and mizolastine in combined treatment of CE with dermatophytes infection , which implies dermatophytes plays an important role in the etiology of CE .

A 48-year-old female presented with a 6-year history of papules and plaques all over the body and with 1-year history of blurred vision in the right eye.Physical examination showed porcelain-white atrophic papules with peripheral erythematous halo and telangiectnsia.She also suffered from exotropia,visual deterioration,visual field defects of the right eye,as well as numbness of the left index finger,thumb and right anterior tibia.Skin biopsies of abdominal lesions revealed dermal necrosis with mucoid degeneration,inflammatory infiltration predominated by lymphocytes around several small blood vessels and occlusion of some blood vessels in deep dermis.Colonoscopy of the whole colon demonstrated scattered patches of hyperemia and erosions with the formation of shallow ulcers.Nerve electromyologram revealed damage to the nerves of right quadriceps femoris muscles.Fecal analysis showed that occult blood was strongly positive.A diagnosis of malignant atrophic papulosis was made based on the characteristic clinical presentation,laboratory and histopathological findings.She was treated with dipyridamole and aspirin for three months,which resulted in no clinical improvement or deterioration.

Objective To investigate the effects of hydrogen on post - cardiac arrest brain injury in rabbits.Method Sixty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups,namely experiment group ( group A,n =30 ) and control group ( group B,n =30 ).Inhalation of 2% hydrogen gas was conferred to rabbits immediately at the end of cardiac arrest modeling for 72 hours in the group A. Air instead was given to rabbits in the group B.Blood samples were collected before cardiac arrest (CA),and 4,12,24 and 72 hours after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in all rabbits for determining the levels of hydrogen,tumor necrosis factor - α ( TNF - α),neuron - specific enolase (NSE) and protein S100β.At the same time,rectal temperature,mean arterial pressure,heart rate and respiration rate were recorded,and the neurologic deficit scoring (NDS) was carried out.The rate of systemic inflammatory response syndrome ( SIRS ) and the rate of survival of rabbits were analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in level of TNF - α activation between group A and group B within12 h of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).In group A,TNF - α level and the rate of SIRS peaked at 24 hours after CPR,which were higher than those in group B,and then decreased gradually,and the rate of survival was higher than that in group B in 72 hours after ROSC,the NSE was lower than that in group B at 24 hours after ROSC.In group B,S100β level began to increase significantly 4 hours after CPR,which was higher than that in group A,the level of NDS in group B was higher than that in group A 72 hours after ROSC.Conclusions Inhalation of hydrogen gas lessened inflammation and alleviated the brain injury after CPR.

A total of 192 patients with sepsis were tested by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for a preliminary diagnosis of whether or not there was sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) according to their test results.SAE was diagnosed or excluded after consultations and comprehensive analysis on the basis of clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination results.The scores of the patients in this group were (25.7 ± 3.3) points.The sensitivity of MoCA for screening SAE was 0.776 and its specificity 0.963.The rate of diagnostic coincidence between MoCA and comprehensive analysis for SAE was 0.880.The diagnostic concordance between two diagnostic methods of SAE was excellent (kappa value =0.753 ± 0.048,P =0.000).The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of MoCA for screening SAE was 0.929 ± 0.019 (P =0.000) ; the optimal cutoff value was 25.5 points; and its sensitivity was 0.779 and specificity 0.962.And negative correlations existed between score of MoCA and age,disease course and co-existing shock or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (P < 0.05).
