Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of budesonide in combination with salbutamol sulfate and ambroxol through fog inhalation in the treatment of elderly patients older than 70 years with acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pneumonia disease (AECOPD). Methods A total of 58 elderly patients older than 70 years with AECOPD were randomly assigned to receive medication of budesonide in combination with salbutamol sulfate and ambroxol through fog inhalation in addition to conventional therapy ( n = 58 treatment group). In the control group,56 AECOPD patients received conventional therapy (including oxygen uptaking,anti-infection, medication, relieving asthma, eliminating sputum, nutritional support, et al). Results The overall effective rate in the treatment group was 76.79% (43/56) ,which was significantly lower than that in the control group 89. 66% (52/58) ( χ2 = 6. 46, P = 0. 007 ). Blood gas analysis ( pH, PaCO2, PaO2 ) and lung function ( FEV1/FVC, FEV1 occupy prospect% ) outcome were significantly improved after treatment (Ps ＜ 0.05 ). We found no significant difference in the comparison of the blood gas analysis improvement between the treatment and control ( Ps ＞ 0. 05 ), whereas significant difference was observed in the improvement on lung function between the two groups (P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Combined budesonide with salbutamol sulfate and ambroxol through fog inhalation in addition to conventional therapy has a significant better effect and less side effects on the treatment of AECOPD patients older than 70 years.

Objective: To evaluate the application of CT in the diagnosis of fracture position and the cause of diplopia after orbital trauma. Methods:The CT findings and the clinical informations of orbital fractures accompanying diplopias in 68 patients (70 orbits) were retrospectively analysed. Results: Orbital fractures in 70 orbits were diagnosed by CT. There were burst orbital floor fractures in 45 orbits ( among them orbital floor fracture combined with medial wall fracture in 15 orbits), non-burst obital floor fractures in 10, medial orbital fractures in 5, zygomatic-orbital fractures in 5, orbit roof fractures in 5. The accuracy of CT in diagnosing orbital fracture was 100 percent. In 68 cases, there were 64 patients with vertical diplopia and 4 with horizontal diplopia . Conclusion: CT can correctly locate the orbital fracture and diagnose the cause of diplopia.

Complement system is a reaction system comprising 35 proteins with enzyme activity common in serum,tissue fluid and cell membrane. It plays an important role in anti-infection. Abnormal complement activation is involved in incidence and progression of many inflammatory diseases. The complement is activated through typical,alternative and agglutinin pathways. Following cardiovascular stent implantation,the vessel endothelium of patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is damaged; serum complement C3 could enter the arterial wall to damage arterial cells to enhance the permeability release antigenic components of vessel wall,and induce antibody production. The fixing immune complex is formed and induces platelet aggregation,attachment or lipidoses. Although humoral immunity becomes accentuated following cardiovascular stent implantation,the capability to resist microorganism is reduced,which stimulates self-protection of C3,aggravates inflammation,increases circulation complex,activates complement system and aggravates endothelial injury. C3 plays an essential role in occurrence and development of ischemic cardiovascular disease,and is an important cause for restenosis and thrombosis following cardiovascular stent implantation.

Objective To investigate the correlation of epidermal distribution of lamellar bodies and expression of ceramidase with skin barrier dysfunction in polymorphous light eruption.Methods Forty-seven patients with polymorphous light eruption and 40 healthy volunteers were recruited into this study.Noninvasive instruments were used to measure skin sebum content,transepidermal water loss(TEWL)and water content in stratum corneum in all of the subjects.Then,tissue specimens were obtained from the lesions at sunexposed sites in the patients and normal skin of the healthy volunteers.The ultrastructure and distribution of lamellar bodies were observed with transmission electron microscopy in five lesion and control specimens.Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of ceramidase in the tissue specimens.Results Compared with the normal skin from healthy volunteers,the lesions from patients showed decreased number of lamellar bodies in the granular layer and prick cell layer with a disorganized arrangement.Ceramidase was positively expressed in 20 lesion specimens and 36 normal control specimens,weakly expressed in 21 lesion specimens and 4 normal control specimens,and negative in 6 lesion specimens; there was a significant difference in the expression of ceramidase between the lesion specimens and normal control specimens(P ＜ 0.01).The lesions also showed high TEWL(34.2191 ± 12.70 vs.16.8350 ± 6.50,P ＜ 0.01),lower water content in stratum corneum(22.7319 ± 8.71 vs.29.4250 ± 5.08,P ＜ 0.01)and similar skin sebum content compared with the normal skin.Conclusions There is a disturbance in the synthesis of ceramide in patients with polymorphous light eruption,which may contribute to the impairment of skin barrier.

Objective To discuss the distributions and drug resistance of gram-positive cocci and provide scientific basis for reasonable use of antimicrobial drugs.Methods One hundred and twenty-five strains were isolated and cultured in our department from January 2009 to December 2011.The drug susceptibility was tested by K-B method and the results were judged by the criteria guideline of CLSI 2009.Results The main strains of separated cocci were Staphylococcus aureus (68,54.4％),Enterococcus faecium (22,17.6％),coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS) (20,16.0％),Enterococcus faecalis (6,4.8％),Staphylococcus haemolyticus(7,5.6％)and other gram-positive cocci (2,1.6％).Methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-susceptible S.aureus (MSSA) detected were 40 and 28 strains(accounted for 58.8％ and 41.1％ of S.aureaus).The results of drug susceptibility tests showed that the drug resistant rate of MRSA to Gentamicin,Clidamycin,Erythromycin and Ciprofloxacin was up to 87.5％-95.0％,and the drug resistant rate of coagulasenegative staphylococcus to Penicillin,Erythromycin,Clidamycin and Gentamicin was up to 65.0％-95.0％,besides,the drug resistant rate of E.faecalis and E.faecium to Erythromycin,high level Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin were 86.4％-100％ and 50.0％-66.7％,respectively.No strains with drug resistant to Vancomycin,Teicoplanin and Linezolid were detected.Conclusion S.aureus was the main strains of nosocomial infection of gram cocci.The resistance of gram-positive cocci is severe,so clinicians should attaches great importance to high drug resistance of gram-positive cocci.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of interventional therapy with norcantharidin-alginic acid/poly acid anhydride microspheres (N-MS) infusion via hepatic artery on hepatoma in rats. METHODS: N-MS was prepared by emulsion-chemical crosslink technique. Eighty-nine hepatoma-bearing rats were randomly divided into five groups, which were normal saline group, norcantharidin (NCTD) group, blank microsphere (B-MS) group, NCTD-lipiodol group and N-MS group. Normal saline, NCTD, B-MS, NCTD-lipiodol and N-MS were injected via hepatic artery accordingly. After the interventional therapy, eight rats from each group were observed for survival time, and the rest rats were killed on the 8th day after intervention to measure the tumor volume and necrostic degree. The apoptotic index of liver tumor cells was detected by TUNEL staining, and the expression of ki-67 was assayed by immuno-histochemical streptavidin-biotin peroxidase method. RESULTS: The survival time of the rats in the N-MS group was prolonged as compared with those in the other four groups, and the tumor volume of the rats in the N-MS group was smaller than those in the other four groups. The tumor growth rate and the expression level of ki-67 in the N-MS group were both significantly lower than those in the other four groups. The tumor necrotic degree and the apoptotic index in the N-MS group were significantly higher than those in the other four groups. CONCLUSION: Interventional therapy with N-MS could yield preferable therapeutic effects on hepatomas in rats. This anti-tumor efficacy may be associated with microvessel embolization in liver tumor and the sustained releasing of NCTD. Its inhibiting effect on tumor cell proliferation maybe result from decreasing the expression of Ki-67 and inducing the tumor cell apoptosis.

Acupuncture anesthesia is a technique by partially or completely replacing anesthetics with acupuncture in surgery based on the traditional acupuncture analgesia mechanism.It emerged in the 1950s,went viral in the 1970s and then gradually fell into decline.In the recent years,this technique has regained attention and further research.Acupuncture anesthesia can be classified as either pure acupuncture anesthesia or acupuncture-medication combined anesthesia.To expand the application of this technique,a patient with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome in urgent need of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) received pure acupuncture anesthesia because of an allergy to lidocaine,and the operation went successfully.This is the first time that pure acupuncture anesthesia and coronary arteriography were combined,which is of great significance in further study and development of acupuncture anesthesia.

Objective:To evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of fetal tethered cord (TC) prenatally diagnosed by MRI.Methods:Clinical data of 38 fetuses diagnosed as having TC by MRI, including 36 singletons and two fetuses who were both one of dichorionic diamniotic twins, were retrospectively collected and analyzed in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2015 to August 2019. According to whether conus medullaris was located above the bladder or reached the lower edge of the bladder, all cases were divided into high or low groups. Pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups using Fisher's exact test and Student's t-test. Results:(1) The gestational age at MRI was (25.5±4.7) weeks. Among the 38 cases, 14 (36.8%) were isolated TC, 24 (63.2%) were complicated by other anomalies. The meningocele was responsible for the most (39.5%, n=15). The results of the ultrasound were consistent with those of MRI in 24 cases (63.2%). While in the other 14 cases (36.8%), the ultrasound only showed vertebral body's abnormal morphology, after which further MRI examination revealed a tethered cord. (2) Twenty-nine women (76.3%) chose to terminate the pregnancy. One patient (2.6%) underwent fetal reduction at 23 gestational weeks (one normal twin was delivered prematurely), and one (2.6%) was lost to follow-up. Seven (18.4%) cases continued the pregnancies to delivery. The postnatal follow-up period was 8.1 months (4.0 to 54.9 months). Two infants without comorbidities showed normal growth and development. Another three cases underwent surgeries after birth, and two cases died in the neonatal period. (3) The average width of the medullary cone was (2.5±0.8) cm. There was no significant difference in the spinal cord width between the high [(2.5±0.8) cm, n=34] and low group [(2.7±1.1) cm, n=4]. Six pregnancies (17.6%) in the high group was continued to delivery, and one of the neonates died of severe hydrocephalus. One patient in the low group (1/4) was delivered, while the baby died of neonatal asphyxia. Conclusions:Fetuses with isolated TC are prone to have a good prognosis. Further study should focus on the relation between the high or low position of the conus medullaris and pregnancy outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 (EDE-Q 6.0) in female patients with eating disorders.Methods:A total of 239 patients with eating disorder and 142 healthy controls who were recruited consented to participate in the study and completed Chinese EDE-Q 6.0.Confirmatory factor analysis was used in patients to compare the original 4-factor model,1-factor model and 3-factor model.The criterion validity was tested with the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI).Mann-Whitney U analysis was used to compare the differences of EDE-Q 6.0 scores on the two samples to test the empirical validity,and ROC analysis was used to determine the cut-off value.The internal consistency of the scale was tested in two samples.Among all participants,89 patients and 31 healthy controls were retested 1 month later.Results:The original 4-factor model fit better than the other two.The EDE-Q 6.0 total score and the EDI total score had a high consistency in the total sample,patients and controls,respectively (ICC =0.88,0.87,0.73).Patients had higher scores on the EDE-Q 6.0 than controls (Ps ＜0.01).The mean area under the curve (AUC) of EDE-Q 6.0 was 0.91,the optimal cut-off point of EDE-Q 6.0 was total score ≥ 1.27,sensitivity and specificity were 79.4％ and 88.2％ respectively.The Cronbach α coefficients were 0.95,0.91,and 0.88 for the total sample,patients and controls respectively.The test-retest reliabilities were 0.73 for the total scale,0.58,0.68,0.69 and 0.71 for the 4 factors.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 6.0 have good psychometric properties and diagnosis accuracy,and it could be used to assess the severity of clinical symptoms.

Objective To observe and compare the function of peripheral blood derived dendritic cells (DC) in white hair black eyes (WHBE) rabbits and Japanese white (JW) rabbits with allergic rhinitis (AR) induced by ovalbumin (OVA),and to explore the mechanism of sensitivity to allergen in WHBE rabbits.Methods For the AR induction,rabbits were sensitized intraperitoneally everyday with OVA emulsified in Al(OH)3 followed from day 17 onward by 5 times nasal challenges with OVA in each nostril.General symptoms and histopathological changes of the nasal mucosa were observed.Expressions of CD86 on cell surface and antigen uptake of peripheral blood-derived dendritic cells were detected by flow cytometry at 6 days of culture.The mannose receptor (MR) mRNA expression was tested by real-time PCR.Proliferation of CFSE [5-(and 6-)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester]-labelled T cells stimulated by DC were observed by flow cytometry.Results The rabbits sensitized by OVA showed typical AR symptoms and pathological changes.Expressions of CD86 on the cell surface of dendritic cells in WHBE rabbits with AR were significantly upregulated not only compared with the normal control (NC) rabbits,but also with the JW rabbits with AR (P<0.01).The result of real-time PCR assay showed that MR mRNA expression of DC in the NC group of WHBE rabbits were significantly higher than that of the JWrabbits(P<0.01).Moreover,MR mRNA expression of DCs in the WHBE rabbits with AR were not only significantly higher than that in the NC rabbits (P<0.05),but also higher than that in the JW rabbits with AR (P<0.05).Meanwhile,OVA647 internalization percentages of DCs in the WHBE rabbits with AR were not only significantly higher than that in the NC rabbits,but also obviously higher than that in the JW rabbits with AR (P<0.01).Conclusions The sensitivity of WHBE rabbits to allergen may largely depend on the function of dendritic cells with high expression of mannose receptor and their strong ability of maturation and antigen uptake.
