Objective To investigate the treatment effect and some related fators of the improved lacrimal duct flushing technique for the adult patients with chronic dacryocystitis in the primary hospital.Methods Fifty -seven adult patients (fifty -seven eyes) with chronic dacryocystitis received the improved lacrimal duct flushing treatment.Fifty -seven patients were divided into two groups according to the first time to see a doctor and receive the improved lacrimal duct flushing treatment cooperated with drug application and assistant therapies.The effect and safety of the treatment and some related factors were analyzed.Results There was no statistical difference between the overall efficency of the two groups(A group 76.2%,B group 72.2%,χ2 =0.108,P =0.987 >0.05).The innero-cular pressures showed no statistical difference between pre -treatment and 1 month after treatment(the pre -treat-ment innerocular pressure:18.470,the post -treatment innerocular pressure:18.512,t =-0.315,P =0.754 >0.05).The correlation analysis between the conditions of lacrimal passages and treatment effect(r =0.814,r2 =0.663,P =0.002 <0.05),between the germiculture of the discharge of lacrimal sac and treatment effect(r =0.814, r2 =0.663,P =0.000 <0.05) showed statistical significance.Conclusion The improved lacrimal duct flushing technique cooperated with drug application and assistant therapies is safe and well effective to the adult patients with chronic dacryocystitis in the early stage.

Calmodulin,as an important signaling regulatory protein,widely exists in eukaryotic cells and participates in a variety of physiological activities.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a typical neurodegenerative diseasemostly affecting the old people.Senile plaques (SP) caused by amyloid protein deposition and neurofibrillary tangles (NTF) caused by over-phosphorylation of Tau protein in the brain are the two major neuropathological hallmarks of AD.Neuronal apoptosis induced by dysregulation of calcium homeostasis also plays a significant role during this pathological process.Recent studies have found that calcium and its downstream receptor,calmodulin,are closely associated with the pathogenesis and progress of Alzheimer's disease.This article reviews the current development and the latest research progress on the effects of calmodulin on β-amyloid protein generation and deposition,neurofibrillary tangle formation,synaptic plasticity in AD around the world,comprehensively discusses the role of calmodulin in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

Objective To report the first case of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome in China. Methods The clinical data, transmission electron microscopic examination and immunohistochemical analysis of this patient were evaluated. Results The patient was a 3-year-old girl who presented increased skin fragility with trauma-induced, blisters and erosions, combined with short and sparse hair, finger-and toe-nail dystrophy and palmoplantar keratoderma. Transmission electron microscopy showed a loss of keratinocyte-keratinocyte adhesion, widening of intercellular spaces and a reduced number of hypoplastic desmosomes. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a complete absence of staining for plakophilin 1. Conclusion Ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease characterized by clinical manifestations as well as electron microscopic features and immunohistochemical evidence.

Objective To evaluate arterial reconstruction of traumatic iliac-femoral artery pseudoaneurysm in parenteral drug abusers.Methods Data of 21 consecutive patients who presented with iliac-femoral artery pseudoaneurysm with the diameter ranging from 3.0 cm～7.5 cm secondary to parenteral drug abuse from 2004 to 2007 were analyzed.Fifteen patients were male and the median age was 3 1.3 years.the aneurysm involved the common femoral artery and distal external iliac artery.Autologous greater saphenous vein was used as a graft for arterial reconstruction after iliac-femoral artery pseudoaneurysm excision through a single curved inguinal incision.Results The surgical procedure was successful in all 21 eases without intraoperative mortality and severe complications.All the 21 patients were free of postoperative claudication symptoms except 1 case with preoperative popliteal artery stenosis.Wound infection and tissue fistula developed in one ease.Ingunal incisional hematoma and cutaneous abnormal sensation developed in one each eases.Conclusions The use of autologous greater saphenous venous grafts for aaefial reconstruction after false aneurysm excision in drug abusers is safe and effective.The harvest of the greater saphenous vein is precondition of this precedure.These preliminary results indicate that the implementation of this technique offers advantages compared with the artery ligation alone without revascularization,that is frequently associated with later intermittent claudication.

The present study shows that mushroom juice exhibits a significanteffect on growth of L. acidophilus in reconstituted skim milk. When 5% - 10% mushroom juice was added in skim milk, they shorten generation time and the rate of lactic acid production was accelerated. After 10h incubation at 37℃ cell counts of L. acidophilus in test groups were much more than in control group, were up to 108/mL.

OBJECTIVE: High mean platelet volume (MPV) values are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to investigate the association between nasal obstructive disease and MPV value. METHOD: This study included 40 patients with nasal obstructive disease and 30 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects as controls. The levels of the number of platelets, MPV, platelet distribution width (PDW) were evaluated and compared in the two groups. Then the MPV was compared in the patients before and after operation in the study group. RESULT: Platelet count is significantly lower in the study group than the control group [(215.0 ± 47.5) x 10(9)/L versus (237.8 ± 46.2) x 10(9)/L]; MPV and PDW is significantly higher in the study group [(10.7 ± 0.7) fL versus (10.3 ± 0.8) fL]; [(12.9 ± 2.0) % versus (12.0 ± 1.3) %]. Comparing to preoperation, MPV values of the study group is significantly decreased after nasal obstructive operations [(10.7 ± 0.7) fL versus (10.4 ± 0.6) fL]. CONCLUSION MPV levels are elevated in patients with nasal obstructive disease, and can be decreased by nasal obstructive operation.

OBJECTIVE: Uur aim was to investigate the association between OSAHS and mean platelet volume (MPV) value. METHOD: This study included 70 cases with OSAHS in our ward between Jan. 2012 and Jan. 2014, and the OSAHS patients were divided two groups: mild- to moderate group and severe group; 30 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects was in control group. The correlation among the levels of the number of platelets (PLT), MPV, platelet distribution width (PDW) were evaluated in the two groups. RESULT: PLT count was significantly lower in the severe group than the control group [(202. 8 ± 68. 9] × 10(9)/L, (235. 9 ± 65. 2) × 10(9)/L]; MPV and PDW were significantly higher in the severe group [(10. 9 ± 0. 9), (10. 4±0. 8) fL; (12. 9 ± 1. 9) %, (12. 0 ± 1. 4) %]. There was not significantly difference of MPV between the mild to moderate group and the control group [(10. 7 ± 0. 7), (10. 4 ± 0. 8)fL]. CONCLUSION MPV levels are elevated in patients with the severe OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of botulinum toxin type A injection and acupuncture on periorbital wrinkles.Methods From May to September in 2015,24 patents were randomly divided into experimental and control group according to random number table:the patients in experimental group were treated with disposable acupuncture needles,20 min for each treatment,once a day,five times each course for courses,2 days interval between the two courses;the patients in control group were treated with 20 units of hotulinum toxin type A injection.The therapeutic results were observed 2 weeks after the treatment by the third-party doctor according to skin wrinkles grading.Results The periorbital wrinkles in both groups improved remarkably,and the wrinkle grading in control group was significantly lower than that in the experimental group (0.67±0.67 vs 1.33±0.61,P＜0.05).The skin quality and facial expression sensation in the experimental group improved significantly when compared with those in the control group.Conclusions Acupuncture can be used as a complementary treatment of periorbital wrinkles,and it improves the skin quality in terms of elasticity and color and keeps the natural facial expression sensation.
