Objective To investigate the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the pathogenesis of nasal polyps. Methods the nasal polyps were obtained from 42 patients undergoing nasal operations. The tissues from each patient were stained with HE and Toluidine Blue for eosiophils, lymphocyte, plasma cell and mast cell and observed under the light microscope. A mean number of the above cells were counted. All data were analyzed with the Ttest. Results Eosinophils were found predominantly in 12 polyps(28.57%). Lymphocyte infiltration was shown in the other 30 polyps (71.43%). Furthermore, many mast cells with only a few eosinophils were found in the lymphocyte infiltration polyps; the number of mast cells in these polyps were much more than those in eosinophil accumulation polyps with a very significant difference(P<0.01). Conclusion The accumulation of eosinophils in the nasal polyps does not appear to be related to the presence of mast cells and allergy. The disorder of immunity may play an important role in the formation of nasal polyps.

Objective To study clinical observation and nursing on ritodrine hydrochloride for the treatment of premature. Methods 92 pregnant women with threatened preterm labor in our hospital (February 2016 to December 2017) were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group,each with 46 cases. The control group were treated with Magnesium Sulfate, the experimental group were treated with ritodrine hydrochloride. The experimental group and the control group were given reasonable nursing measures, and the relative clinical indexes of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results After the corresponding treatment, the duration of pregnancy in the experimental group was (16.20±12.00) days, and the body weight of the newborn was (2.93±0.35) kg, which was significantly better than that of the control group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). Two groups of patients did not have obvious adverse reactions, nausea, vomiting, headache and other adverse reactions were 10.00% and 12.00% respectively, and there was no statistical significance. The effective rate of the experimental group was 91.30%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (65.20%), which was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Clinical curative effect of ritodrine hydrochloride for treatment of preterm birth is ideal, can significantly improve patients' clinical symptoms, high safety.

Objective To investigate the distribution,epidemiologic features and antibiotic resistance of the enteric pathogens i-solated from children with diarrhea.Methods Enteric pathogens were isolated from children’s stool samples.The children with diarrhea were treated in the outpatient and inpatient of Shanghai Children’s Hospital between 2008 and 2013.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted by disk diffusion method for Salmonella and Shigella with 6 antimicrobial agents.Results A total of 545 enteric pathogens were collected.Salmonella was the dominant pathogen,accounting for 67.2%,followed by Shigella (20.7%),S.aureus (4.6%),C.jejuni (3.7%),Aeromonas (2.4%),and enteropathogenic E.coli (0.9%).The main serotypes of Salmonella were S.typhimurium and S.enteritidis.Approximately 56.3% of the patients were boys.A-bout 72.7% of the patients were infants under 2 years.The prevalence of diarrhea peaked in summer and autumn (72.9%). The susceptibility of these isolates was only tested with seven antibiotics.Shigella showed higher level of resistance to ampicil-lin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than Salmonella (P<0.05).Significantly higher percentage of S.flexneri isolates were resistant to sulbactam-ampicillin,ceftriaxone,ciprofloxacin,and chloramphenicol than S.sonnei (P<0.001).Further-more,the prevalence of multidrug resistant strains in Shigella (68.3%)was much higher than that in Salmonella (44.7%,P<0.001).Conclusions A variety of diarrhea-causing enteric pathogens are isolated from the children in Shanghai Children’s Hospital.The isolates are predominantly Salmonella and Shigella species.The epidemiological features of Salmonella and Shigella species are different in terms of gender,age,season and geographical distribution.The resistance to antibiotics is a serious problem and varies with different types of pathogens. Intensive and ongoing surveillance of enteric pathogens and their changing resistant pattern is required to control diar-rhea in children.
