Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in premature infants, especially in very low birth weight infants.Lung immaturity, inflammatory injury, oxidative stress and abnormal repair after injury are the important factors.Leukotriene is an inflammatory mediator of 5-lipoxygenase pathway and participates in the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.Montelukast, as a leukotriene receptor antagonist, may play a role in the treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia through anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-fibrosis.This article will review the potential mechanism and related clinical researches of montelukast which is used in treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the cerebral protective effects of dexmedetomidine in brain aneurysm surgery. METH-ODS:48 patients with intracranial aneurysm were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 24 cases in each group. Observation group was given dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg,pump time 10 min,at rate of 0.5 μg/kg;control group re-ceived constant volume of normal saline. Hemodynamic changes,the levels of S100β protein and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure were more stable in the observation group after medication,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The serum level of S100β protein at the end of operation(T5),6 h after operation(T6),12 h after operation(T7),24 h after operation(T8)were(1.52±0.35)μg/L,(1.69±0.33)μg/L,(1.72±0.42)μg/L,(2.08±0.57)μg/L;the serum level of NSE were(10.9±1.2)ng/L,(13.5±1.5)ng/L,(16.8±2.8)ng/L and(19.7±4.3)ng/L in observation group;those were all lower than in control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Dexme-detomidine for cerebral aneurysm operation is helpful for hemodynamics stability,and result in lower S100β protein and NSE. So it is important for cerebral protection.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical features with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and discuss the attentions in the canalith repositioning procedures. METHOD: A total of 76 male and female patients aged 80 and over with BPPV (elderly group) and 76 patients aged 60-65 years old with BPPV (older group) was retrospectively analyzed. RESULT: (1)Semicircular canal condition: in elderly group, posterior semicircular canal was involved in 72 cases, whereas the horizontal semicircular 4 cases. In older group, posterior semicircular canal was involved in 70 cases, whereas the horizontal semicircular and multiple canals in 5 cases and 1 case respectively. (2) Precipitating factors: precipitating factors of elderly were variety. Its closely related with emotion, infection, seasonal alternation surgery, and trauma. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0. 05). (3) The symptoms of undergoing treatment and post-treatment: the duration of dizziness and carebaria were significant difference after canalith repositioning procedure treatment between two groups (P<0. 05), the duration of balance disturbance and symptoms of vegetative nerve functional disturbance like nausea and sweating were significant difference (P<0. 05). (4) Treatment and outcomes: the remission, partial remission rate were 34. 2 %, 81. 6% re- spectively, after the first or second time of repositioning treatment. The efficacy of repositioning treating at the first time was significantly different between two groups (P<0. 05). It was poor efficacy in elderly group. There is no difference in efficacy for repositioning treatment at the second or third time (P>0. 05). (5) The elderly always accompanied with other medical condition and had risk factors of cerebrovascular disease. The efficacy was not associated with the complication(P>0.05). However, it was most likely to overtreatment caused by emphasizing other medical conditions treatment. BPPV was easy to ignore and misdiagnose, meanwhile, delayed the diagnosis and increased the medical costs. (6) Many elderly were accompanied cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis body stiffness and fear of vertigo which increased the difficulty of repositioning treatment. (7) Recurrence: we followed up 2 years after treatment. In older group, 11 patients (14. 5%)were relapsed. In elderly group, 29 patients (38. 2%) relapsed. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0. 05). CONCLUSION There are various precipitating factors in elderly patients with BPPV, the most frequent precipitating factors were related to psychological factor and overfatigue. The symptoms of the patients attack BPPV was always mask with other diseases, but do not impact on the efficacy of Canalith repositioning at the first time; Even the efficacy of repositioning is poor at the first time, it's effective and safety after multiple treatments of repositioning; It prolonged the symptoms including carenaria, dizziness and nausea after treatment.

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide (NO) can influence glucose transportation. Although its signal transmission pathway is not certain, it has been confirmed that the pathway is different from insulin. OBJECTIVE: To explore NO signal transmission pathway and the regulatory mechanism for the glucose uptake of skeletal muscle during exercise. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: Using the keywords of "nitric oxide, signal, glucose", we searched the Pubmed database for the relevant articles about the transmission pathway and its regulation of glucose uptake in skeletal muscle published from January 1996 to November 2007. Meanwhile, the related foreign language books were retrieved manually from national library. Articles about the regulation of NO to muscular blood flow, signal transmission and glucose under exercise stress in human and gnawer were selected. Pathologically related basic studies were excluded. LITERATURE EVALUATION: Sixty related literatures (books) were collected, and 30 were accorded with the inclusive criteria, of which 5 were review articles, 23 were basic researches and 2 were related books. Meanwhile, 20 articles were related to the effects of NO on blood flow regulation and vasodilation, 4 articles and 2 books were related to signal transduction and 4 were about its signaling effect during exercise. DATA SYNTHESIS: NO is a signal molecule. It can mediate various biological phenomenon and displays strong vasodilation effect. The production of NO is increased in vivo during exercise, and NO can stimulate glucose uptake in skeletal muscle through its transduction. CONCLUSION: The generation of NO during exercise has positive effect on glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. The contraction and glucose uptake are closely correlated to the generation and transmission of NO, but the mechanism is still unclear.
