Allergic rhinitis is familiar in clinic,in recent years the incidence has the trend of increase annually and the modern medicine has no effective cure at present.How to seek a permanent solution to the problem? Chinese medical constitution has influence on the incidence,syndrome differentiation,treatment and prognosis of allergic rhinitis.It is necessary and possible to prevent it according to Chinese medical constitution.The constitution is the internal and crucial factor of allergic reaction.The external etiologic factors work through the internal etiologic factors,making people get ill through the imbalance of yin-yang.Therefore,treating allergic rhinitis on the basis of Chinese medical constitution has a positive effect on prevention,correct diagnosis and treatment,controlling the progress and improving the prognosis.

Objective To determine the therapeutic effect of IgA nephropathy treated with tonsillectomy, and investigate the indication and contraindication. Methods Thirty-five IgA nephropathy patients, who were diagnosed by renal biopsy treated with tonsillectomy, were in operation group. Twenty-four hours urine protein, one hour urine erythrocyte and serum creatine were detected before the operation, one week, two weeks, four weeks, six months after the operation. Compared with 40 IgA nephropathy patients, who were treated with medicine (control group). Results The effective power in operation group was 71.4% and in control group was 52.5%. There was significant difference between two groups. Conclusion Tonsillectomy is more effective in IgA nephropathy with chronic tonsillitis, especially when renal corpuscle is slightly impaired, conversely, when renal function is severely damaged, it belongs to surgical contraindication.

In complicated vitreoretinal surgery,vitreous substitutes play a major role in maintaining intraocular pressure.Air,expansion gases,perfluorocarbons liquid,and silicone oil are frequently used in modern vitreoretinal surgery.Long-term vitreous substitute has been attempted with collagen,hyaluronic acid,natural hydrogel polymers and so on.However,an ideal vitreous substitute is being requested for a long time.This review focused on the currently available vitreous substitutes,as well as those in the experimental phase.These compounds were classified based on their functionality,composition,and properties.The clinical use,advantages,and shortcomings of the various substitutes were discussed.Finally,the criteria for an ideal vitreous substitute was defined.

Patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation are the high-risk population of ischemic stroke.Anticoagulation therapy is mainly used to prevent the occurrence of stroke in clinical practice.However,there are some difficulties in the conventional administration of oral anticoagulant warfarin because of some restrictions.There are a number of novel oral anticoagulants with promising data for the prevention of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation,such as direct thrombin inhibitor and coagulant factor X a inhibitor.

Objective To study the mutagenicity of water of man-made lake from Wujiang River in Jinhua. Methods The mutagenicities of water samples collected from 7 representative sampling points in man-made lake in Wujiang River were detected with micronucleus test in vicia faba root tip cells in Oct. 2000 and Oct. 2001 in Jinhua, Zhejiang. Results All water samples showed significantly higher frequencies of micronucleus with a range of 8.06‰～27.79‰ compared with 5.04‰ of negative control (P

Objective Study for the security,effectiveness and the related recurrence factors of the elderly primary chronic gouty arthritis with 3 different therapies.Methods Eighty-seven patients in the Huzhou Third Hospital from 2004.3 to 2005.4 with primary chronic gouty arthritis were randomized into 3 groups for a 12-month-observation:31 in group A were given the general therapies;32 in group B and 24 in group C were given the hydroxychloroqine and colchicine respectively besides the general therapy.Results The average of acute attack after treatment in the 3 groups was lower than those before treatment.The levels of blood uric acid decreased significantly(P

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, sirolimus on expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)1? protein and growth of ovarian carcinoma in an athymic mouse xenogeneic transplant model of ovarian cancer. Methods Four groups of female nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously with SKOV3 cells. After inoculation, mice were treated with saline, rapamycin alone, paclitaxel alone and sirolimus+paclitaxel. In each tumor protein expressions of HIF-1?,bcl-2 and apoptosis were determined by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Results In sirolimus and sirolimus +paclitaxel groups protein expression of HIF-1? was inhibited. Tumor burden in rapamycin alone, sirolimus +paclitaxel, and paclitaxel alone was reduced by 47.9%( P 0.05) respectively compared with controls. Cell apoptosis inder in sirolimus alone(36), sirolimus +paclitaxel(40), paclitaxel alone(22),increased compared with control(15), while expression of bcl-2 decreased compared with control. Conclusion Sirolimus inhibited protein expression of HIF-1?, increased tumor apoptosis and decreased tumor growth.

Objective To investigate the correlation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1? and va scular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or micro-vessel density ( MVD). Methods The ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 was transplanted into nude mice to form xenog eneic tumor. Mice were treated with rapamycin 4mg/kg,sulindac 100 mg/(kg.d) a nd saline 200 ?l respectively. Expression of HIF-1? and VEGF proteins and MV D were determined by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA of Glut1 and VEGF was studi ed by RT-PCR. Results The positive expression of HIF-1? and VEGF was moderate to strong, and MVD was high (31?8) in control group. In rapamycin treated group, the expression of H IF-1? was inhibited to weak positive or negative (P

Objective To compare the efficacy between basic treatment, amitriptyline, and basic treatment combined with mirtazapine and total glucosides of paeonia (TGP) capsule in 4 groups of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FS). Methods The change of the pain before the treatment, one-month and three-months (after) treatment were analyzed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Results ① The scores of SCL-90 in group B was significantly lower than group A (P

Objective To investigate the distribution and duration of abnormal blood glucose level in SGA infants. Methods Blood glucose level was systemicly monitored in 37 SGA infants for (133?115) h(range 16～524 h, median 93 h), who were non NICU hospitalized and no feeding or IV infusion when admitted at (2 6?2 4) h (range 0.25~10.0 h, median 2.0 h) of age. Results During monitoring period, there was hypoglycemia in 19 cases (51%),hyperglycemia in 2 cases (5%), and both hypo and hyperglycemia in 3 cases (8%). The median of last time abnormal glucose level appeared was 10 hr after birth, its 95% confidence interval was 5~55hr after birth. Multiple regression analysis shown delivery models bad relationship with glucose level at admition (p= 0.013). The blood glucose level was higher in vaginal delivery babies. The lower the birth weight (BW)was, the longer the duration of abnormal glucose level lasted ( O
