OBJECTIVE To analyze the correlation between number of tissue eosinophils(Eos) and blood Eos levels in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP), and to investigate if tissue and blood eosinophilia predicts disease severity and prognosis in CRSwNP. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 102 patients, who diagnosed with CRSwNP was carried out in this study. Surgical specimens were evaluated for degree of tissue Eos, which was compared with blood Eos. Patients were divided into two groups according to the results of endoscopy one year after surgery: recurrent and non-recurrent group. Statistical analysis was performed to compare tissue and blood Eos and CT Lund-Mackay scores. RESULTS Blood and tissue Eos in recurrent group was significantly higher than that in non-recurrent group(P=0.032, 0.033, 0.017). There was not a statistical difference of CT scores between two groups(P =0.089). There was a significant correlation between tissue Eos and absolute number of blood Eos(r=0.637, P=0.000) as well as between tissue Eos and percentage of blood Eos(r=0.542, P=0.000). However Eos and CT scores were not correlated statistically(P>0.05). CONCLUSION Blood Eos levels can predict the degree of Eos infiltration in nasal polyps. Blood and tissue Eos correlate with prognosis.

Mai is the important concept in TCM and this term has been found in the early classic work of TCM. With the development and perfection of TCM theory, the original meaning of mai is "blood vessels entirely distrusted in the body". In five dynasties, the meaning of it was supplemented as "distribution of qi and blood in five zang and six fu organs to the four extremities", in which, not only blood but also qi has been included. With the constant understanding on mai, qi and blood, the unique concept of meridian and collateral is gradually generated. In terms of the modern study on the original meaning of mai and the academic evolution of meridian and collateral, it is discovered that qi is predominated and distributed in meridian and collateral as compared with blood. It is very significant to study the original meaning and academic evolution of mai, as well as the origin of the concept of meridian and collateral and to provide the reference support for the terminology standardization and basic study.

Objective To investigate the allergen of asthma in children in order to instruct family management and improve the quality of life of children with asthma. Methods Skin prick was used to detect the allergen of asthma in children. Family management program was designed for patients with posi-tive results and implemented under supervision. Controlled study of patients adopting family management program and patients without this program was performed for 1 year. Results 78 cases of 104 children (75.0%) with asthma were positive for allergen. Among 78 cases, 58 cases were positive for der-matophagoides culinae, and 49 cases were positive for dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, which were two main allergens. The one- year follow- up research results showed: 14 cases once suffered emergency treat-ment, 6 needed hospitalization, 12 absent from classes and the average economic cost reached 1840.5 yuan per patient per year among 52 patients who received family management program.While in 26 patients who did not adopt family management program, 15 cases once suffered emergency treatment, 10 needed hospi-talization, 14 absent from classes and the average economic cost reached 3267.3 yuan per patient per year. The difference was significant. Conclusions Family management guide can improve the quality of life in asthma children positive for allergen.

Objective:To develop an evidence-based nursing program for a patient with oral complications of dysphagia due to cerebral infarction.Methods:According to the principle of PICO, and the problem of patients' clinical manifestations, using the method of combining subject words and free words, the database of Uptodate, NICE, SIGN. RNAO, medical pulse guide network, BMJ, Cochranc library, PubMed, EMbase, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched and collected the clinical guidelines, systematic evaluation and randomized controlled trial of oral complications in patients with dysphagia of cerebral infarction.Results:Totally 1 clinical decision, 5 clinical guidelines, 4 expert consensus, 2 systematic evaluations, 1 Meta-analysis, 3 randomized controlled trial (RCT) were included. Based on the search results and the patient′s condition and wishes, nurses performed swallowing function tests every two days according to the Standard Swallowing function rating Scale (SSA), raised the head of the bed 40°~45° and holded it for 1 hour. Three times a day, the teeth were brushed with chlorhexidine oral care solution under negative pressure. Sputum scab was removed by mechanical scrubbing. The back of tongue was scrubbed by 6x tongue scraping technique every night. After the infection was controlled, the teeth were washed twice a day with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Oral condition and swallowing function were evaluated daily. High flow humidification oxygen therapy and mask spray atomization inhalation were used. Swallowing training was performed on the third day after admission. Seven days after the evidence was applied to clinical practice, the oral mucosa was moist without peculiar smell and sputum scab, and the swallowing function was changed from grade IV to grade II.Conclusion:Nursing cerebral infarction patients with dysphagia, nurses should timely assess the patient's oral cavity and swallowing function, the application of chlorhexidine and 0.9% sodium chloride solution oral care solution mechanical scrubbing method and negative pressure washing brushing method can effectively remove sputum scab, use 6x tongue scraping technology to scrub the back of tongue, can reduce micro organisms, reduce halitosis; the application of nasal mask high flow humidification oxygen therapy and spray atomization inhalation humidification effect is obvious Therefore, early swallowing training can reduce the incidence of oral complications.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, and its pathogenesis is complex. At present, there is no good method for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. However, studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) has abnormal expression in gastric cancer, which participates in the regulation of gastric cancer related genes, and has an impact on the occurrence, development, diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. This paper aims to review the relationship between miRNA and the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer, as well as the drug resistance in the treatment, so as to lay the foundation for the follow-up research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Based on the theoretical connotation of internal stirring of collateral wind in atherosclerosis (AS) and combined with the concepts related to collateral disease and diseased collaterals,this article suggests that angiogenesis in AS plague belong to collateral disease,of which many are deficiency,stasis and full of changes.Since its pathological changes resemble a lot to wind syndrome,this article suggests that the internal stirring of collateral wind is the core pathogenesis of angiogenesis in AS plague.According to the model building of internal stirring of collateral wind,the high correlation between angiogenesis in AS plague and the internal stirring of collateral wind is proved,which provides a new thought in prevent and treat AS with integrative medicine.

Objective To investigate the influence of three kinds of different Ca~(2+) concentration of dialysate on serum calcium,calcium-phosphorus product,serum PTH and CRP in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods 45 patients of maintenance hemodialysis with ages ≥18 years were selected.They were divided randomly three groups,and be given three different kinds of Ca~(2+) concentration of dialysate to carry out hemodialysis with 3 months.Then the patients' variation of blood pressure and whether there were low calcium spasm or ostealgia were abserved during hemodialysis whole range.In addition,changes of their serum calcium、phosphorus、iPTH and CRP at pretherapy and three months after reatment were also detected.Results After three months of hemodialysis,serum iPTH in patients with low Ca~(2+) concentration dialysate increased obviously,and the serum CRP decreased significantly(P0.05),and serum CRP increase notably(P

Objective To investigate the regional cerebral stimulation after central analgesics nasal spray and its mechanism with pharmacological functional magnetic resonance imaging (phfMRI). Methods Eighteen healthy right-handed volunteers participated. Butorphanol tartrate nasal spray was used as the experiment agent. Ethological experiment was carried out to record the participants' subjective feeling and the onset time of the analgesics, followed by the functional MRI (fMRI) scan two weeks later. Block design was adopted. Two phases of fMRI scan were performed at 7 min and 25 min after the nasal spray, respectively. Participants were also given pain stimulation in the dorsum of hand during the fMRI scanning. The data were post-processed with Matlab 6.5 and SPM 2. Results ①Onset time of butorphanol tartrate was 15-35 min after nasal spray administration, which was consistent with its concentration-time curve. ②After nasal spray, activations were observed in the cerebral cortex, including frontal lobe (orbitofrontal gyrus, medial frontal gyrus, superior frontal gyrus), temporal lobe (insula, middle temporal gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus), parietal lobe (precuneal gyrus), limbic system (anterior cingulate gyrus, middle cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus);subcortical region (globus pallidus) and cerebellum (6-9 of cerebellar cortex, cerebellar peduncle, vermis). ③The number and activation intensity of the second phase were more obvious than those of the first phase (P<0.01). Conclusion The feasibility of phfMRI study on cerebral stimulation and the mechanism of nasal spray is demonstrated. The study of butorphanol tartrate further validates the main distribution of opioid receptors in the central nervous system and the possible mechanism of central analgesia.

Objective:To investigate age related changes in urodynamic parameters of women with uri-nary incontinence.Methods:From May 2008 to October 2015,a total of 214 patients diagnosed with urinary incontinence in Peking University People’s Hospital was involved in this study.Average age was (56.97 ±10.68)years,ranging from 30 to 82 years,and average history was (8.44 ±8.85)years, ranging from one month to 50 years.Urodynamic examinations of each patient were taken before operation routinely in Department of Urology,Peking University People’s Hospital.The urodynamic study was composed of non-invasive and invasive procedures.Analysis included maximal flow rate (Qmax ),average flow rate,time to Qmax ,voiding time,detrusor pressure at Qmax ,maximal detrusor pressure,voided volume,post-void residual urine volume (PVR),the total capacity of bladder,first-,strong-,and urge-desire to void,cough leak point pressure (CLPP),and Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP).Patients were divided into four groups according to age,Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 214 patients were enrolled in this study.The data of Qmax ,average flow rate,voided volume,and total capacity of bladder decreased with statistical significance.The value of residual urine volume and voiding time increased without statistical significance,while the value of maximal detrusor pressure decreased.Conclusion:Urodynamic examination data of females with urinary incontinence changes along with the elapse of age,which was mainly observed as age ascends,and the changes in urodynamic parameters of women with urinary incontinence suggest that the value of Qmax , average flow rate,voided volume,and total capacity of bladder decreased significantly,while the value of PVR and the voiding time increased and the value of maximal detrusor pressure decreased.
