Sinus osteoma is a common nasal and sinus disease, while the clinical cases of osteoma with a diameter greater than 30 millimeter are rarely seen. This paper reports a case of a 39-years-old male patient discovered with one-year long swelling pain in the right eye. The patients' right eye was mildly prominent and he suffered from hypopsia and diplopia. After CT scanned, he have ethmoid osteoma been discovered, besides, the right media rectus compression and orbital apex compression and consequent pathologically were diagnosed. The solid tumor ranged widely from the anterior skull base to the superior and interior orbital walls,and thus deprived the patient's complete surgical resection. As an attempt to prevent complications, most parts of the tumors were sur gically removed.

This paper reports a case of female patient with throat discomfort and coughs for several months. She was discovered by laryngoscopy with a pale yellow lump in the left aryepiglottic fold and pyriformin with the size of 2.0 cm x 1.6 cm. MRI fat suppression sequence exhibited low signal, and the lump was removed by laryngoscope surgery under general anesthesia. Pathological examination showed lipoma. Five years postoperative, her throat discomfort reappeared the laryngoscopy examination showed a pale yellow lump with the size of 2.0 cm x 1.0 cm in the front wall of left side of pyriform. Her MRI fat suppression sequence exhibited low signal again, and the lump was removed by laryngoscope surgery under general anesthesia. Pathological examination showed lipoma and immunohistochemistry proved S100 positive. The patient was discharged a week postoperative and no recurrence was found in the follow up visits in the following year.

This paper reports a case of recurrence of tonsillar cancer on the right 6 months after radiotherapy with pharyngeal hemorrhage for 4 days and aggravation in the next day. The pharyngeal hemorrhage was severe in the case and the maximum of single amount of bleeding was approximately 200 ml. The examination showed active bleeding on the ulcer with a diameter of 2 cm in the right tonsil and the depth of 1 cm. After repeated compression hemostasis proved to be invalid, selective embolization was applied on the patient and the symtoms of pharyngeal hemorrhage disappeared without complications. The patient was discharged after 2 weeks of observation without any recurrence of hemorrhage.

Objective:To explore the effects of nutritional intervention on the nutritional status,cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD).Methods:90 AD patients were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group,with 45 cases in each group.Patients in the control group received anti-dementia drugs,and patients in the intervention group additionally received TPF-T as the oral nutritional supplement.The nutritional status and nutritional biochemical indicators,cognitive function and ADL of two groups were evaluated when enrolled and 6 months later after the treatment.Results:After 6 months'treatment,the nutritional status,MMSE,ADL scores and nutritional indicators of patients in the intervention group were significantly improved compared to the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Nutritional intervention can effectively improve the nutritional status,cognitive function and ADL of patients with dementia.

Objective Vessel injury provokes the release of angiotensin II that influences the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). T lymphocytes produced, interleukin 10 is of immunoregulatory function. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of recombinant human interleukin 10 (rhIL 10) on the proliferation of isolated rat vascular smooth muscle cell and the activity of p44/p42 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) promoted by angiotensin II. Methods Rat aortic VSMCs were cultured and treated with rhIL 10 or angiotensin II, and then co treated with rhIL 10 and angiotensin II. The proliferation was quantified by colormetric assay. The p44/p42 MAPK activity was evaluated by the immunobloting technique using anti p44/p42 phospho MAPK antibody. Results Compared with control group, angiotensin II stimulated significantly VSMCs proliferation(1 311?0 201 vs 0 781?0 236, P 0 05), but significantly inhibited VSMCs proliferation induced by angiotensin II at a dose of 1,10,100 ng/ml (0 984?0 172 , 0 932?0 134 , 0 784?0 097 vs 1 311?0 201, P

Objective To study the acute inhalation toxicity of 50% Luowei,a plant molluscacide,in rats. Methods Twenty adult Wistar rats,half male and half female,were given of 5000 mg/m3 of 50% Luowei through a dynamic inhalation de?vice and the death and recovery of the rats were observed within 14 days,and LC50 was drawn. Results After exposure,the ac?tivities of the rats decreased and a few individual animals had scratching symptom,but the symptom disappeared after the expo?sure. No animals died during the whole observation period. Therefore,the acute inhalation LC50 was greater than 5000 mg/m3 for rats,and Luowei belonged to low toxicity level. Conclusions 50% Luowei will not cause animal death if it is inhaled into ani?mal body. However,people still need to wear protective equipment in production and use.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA).Methods To review the clinical data of 35 patients who underwent posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy from September 2013 to September 2015.There were 14 males and 21 females, aged 15-70 years, with an average of 45.8 years.Preoperative CT scan was performed to determine the size, shape and location of the tumor.Tumor diameter 10-60 mm, average 31 mm.Results 35 operations were successfully accomplished via the posterior approach.The operation time was 38-138 min (mean 70.1 min) ,and the drainage tube indwelling time was 1-5 d(average 2.1 d) ,the hospital stay was 2-6d(average 3.7 d).Total hospital costs were 14 789-31 992 yuan, average of 21 239 yuan.No complications occurred during the perioperative period.Conclusions Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy might provide clear anatomical views.It could be a safe and effective operation for the clinical treatment of adrenal tumors.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA).Methods From September 2013 to September 2015,the clinical data of 35 patients who underwent posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy were reviewed.There were 14 males and 21 females,aged 15-70 years,with the average of 45.8 years.Preoperative CT scan showed 19 adrenal tumors in the left side,16 in the right side,and one case with the left adrenal adenoma combining with right renal cyst.Tumor diameter is between 10 ～ 60mm,with the average of 31mam.Twenty-two cases were diagnosed as primary aldosteronism,4 pheochromocytoma,and 9 non-functional adrenal tumor.The posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy were performed in all of the cases,which are under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and prone position with hip joints and knee joints flexion of 90.Results Thirty-five operations were successfully completed via the posterior approach demonstrating clear anatomical layers.The operation time was 38-138min(mean 70 min),the drainage tube indwelling duration was l-Sd(average 2d),and the hospital stay was 2-6d (average 4d).Total costs of hospitalization were 14 789-31 992 yuan RMB,with an average of 21 239 yuan RMB.No complications occurred during the perioperative period.The average follow-up was 11 months,and no complications such as tumor recurrence occured.Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy provided clear anatomical views.It could be a safe and effective operation for the treatment of adrenal tumors.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between Borna disease virus (BDV) and the human viral encephalitis.MethodsThe P24 fragment of BDV RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 59 patients with viral encephalitis diagnosed clinically, and 112 healthy donors were examined by fluorescence quantitative nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (FQ-nRT-PCR).ResultsThere were 3 positive of BDV P24 fragment in 59 patients with viral encephalitis, and no positive in blood donors. The positive rate of BDV p24 in PBMC in viral encephalitis (5.08%) was higher significantly than that in blood donors (P
