Objective To investigate the clinical, hemorheology, transcranial Doppler (TCD) and auditory brainstem evoked response (ABR) features in senile sudden deafness.Methods The clinical manifestations, hemorheology, TCD, and ABR data in 82 patients with senile sudden deafness were analyzed retrospectively.Results (1) The primary symptoms mainly included tinnitus (65.9%) and vertigo (56.1%), which mostly occurred at daytime (53.7%).(2) Most of the patients had risk factors of arteriosclerosis such as hypertension (75.6%), diabetes (59.8%) and so on. These patients had more serious deafness.(3) There was no obvious relationship between high blood viscosity (61% of the patients) and the degree of deafness. (4) 85.4% of senile sudden deafness patients indicated vertebral-basilar artery insufficiency in TCD. There was a positive correlation between blood supply and degree of deafness. (5) The abnormal rate of ABR was 100%. WaveⅠdisappeared in most patients, which showed serious damage of auditory nerve. Disappearing of waveⅠ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ and Ⅰ～Ⅲ, Ⅲ～Ⅴ, Ⅰ～Ⅴ delitescence period delaying might be complicated with the damage of the structure of the brainstem and cochlea.Conclusions The morbidity and degree of senile sudden deafness are associated with insufficiency of blood supply of internal ears. TCD and ABR are sensitive and reliable methods in diagnosis, progression and prognosis of senile sudden deafness.

Objective Four cases of screen epilepsy were reported Methods Clinical analysis of four cases of TV epilepsy Results Of the four cases, two had the seizures evoked by changing channel of TV set only, one evoked by watching TV, and the other had the seizure triggered by video game. The seizures of two cases showed GTCS, one case showed partial seizure with secondarily generalized seizure, and the other showed partial seizure and absence Conclusion Screen epilepsy may have several seizure types, not only have GTCS but also have partial seizure and absence.

Effect of opsonized zpoosan on polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)were studied by chemilundnescence (CL)and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)assays. Results showed that different concentrations of Physalin B(PhB) presented a dose-dependent inhibitive effect on CL and H2O2 production of activated PMN. It suggested that the anti-inflammatory action of PhB may be related to the inhibition of production and release of oxygen free radical by PMN.

Objective To evaluate a noninvasive method which has been applied on human subjects to observe beat to beat activity of the His bundle potential. Methods Recording was performed with very low noise, high gain amplifiers and by analog filtering. 3-brigade amplifiers and 16-bite A/D were connected to a microcomputer by USB. The signal was processed by a combined pattern recognition and digital filtering software. Results The results of surface monitoring were compared with intracardiac method in 30 patients. The results of non-invasive method were consistent with that interventional method. A prominent waveform was observed between the atrial and ventricular complexes (A, H, V waves), and corresponded to His bundle activity in all patients. Conclusion The noninvasive method of beat to beat surface recording of His bundle activity has broad clinical applicability and high utility for the patients with latent A-V block and eletrophysiologic study.

Objective To investigate the application of open beat to beat techniques recording His bundle activity without digital averaging. Methods Recording was performed with very low noise, high gain amplifiers and by analog filtering. 3 brigade amplifiers and 16 bite A/D were connected to a microcomputer by USB. The signal was processed by A pattern recognition plus digital filtering software. The subjects were in a supine position during the recording. Results A prominent waveform was observed between the atrial and ventricular complexes and corresponded to His bundle activity in 46 volunteers. Recordings in 8 patients were compared with records obtained by intracardiac electrode, and a good conformation was seen. Conclusion The noninvasive method of beat to beat surface recording of His bundle activity has broad clinical applicability and high utility for the patients with latent A-V block and eletrophysiologic study.

Objective To research the curative effect of the chronic refractory skin ulcer,which belong to yang deficiency of both spleen and kidney type with the treatment of Huiyang Shengji ointment,and discuss the mechanism at cell and molecular level.Methods According to the diagnostic criteria,102 patients were divided into the treatment group(treated with topical Huiyang Shengji ointment) and the control group(treated with topical chlorhexidine).The effects were summarized six weeks later.The marginal tissue of the patients with the chronic skin ulcer was taken to analyze collagen Ⅰ/Ⅲ with the software and the expression of cytokine FGF-2,VEGF,Fn were observed during the wound heal.Results The effective rate was 50% in the treatment group,the control group was 33.33%,with statistical differences.Huiyang Shengji ointment can change the status of the chronic wound,promote growth of new blood vessels and improve the collagen synthesis,especially collagenⅠ.The expression of the FGF-2 and VEGF in the marginal tissue of the chronic skin ulcer showed a rising trend.Conclusions Huiyang Shengji ointment can accelerate the wound heal of chronic refractory skin ulcer.One of the mechanisms is related to promoting growth of new blood vessels and improving the collagen synthesis.

Objective To study the expression of skin aspartic protease (SASPase) in lesions of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and its role in the pathogenesis of CLE.Methods Skin samples were resected from the lesions and normal skin of 9 patients with CLE,including 3 cases of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE),4 cases of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) and 2 cases of acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (ACLE).Keratinocytes were isolated from the tissue samples and cultured in serum-free medium.Total proteins were extracted from the keratinocytes and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.ImageMaster 2D analysis software was used to assess differentially expressed proteins in keratinocytes between the lesional and normal skin,which were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS).The expression levels of SASPase were further determined by Western blot.The data were analyzed statistically by Student's t test.Results Keratinocytes were isolated from the tissue samples and successfully cultured in vitro.Two-dimensional electrophoresis profiles of proteins from the keratinocytes were obtained with high resolution and reproducibility,and the average matching protein spots were about 1200 with the matching rate higher than 80％.As Western blot showed,the relative expression level of SASPase was 0.463 ± 0.018 in keratinocytes from the lesional skin,and 0.145 ± 0.011 in those from the normal skin (P ＜ 0.05).The Western blot results were consistent with those of two-dimensional electrophoresis.Conclusion The initiation and progression of CLE seem to be associated with the abnormal activation and overexpression of SASPase.

Objective To research the relationship between quality of life among the elderly with chronic periodontitis (CP) and the severity of CP.Methods A total of 471 elderly patients seeking treatment in the affiliated Stomatology Hospital of Kunming Medical University from September 2013 to January 2014 and their companions were investigated using the questionnaire according to the Chinese version of the Oral health Impact Profile-14.Those who diagnosed with CP were separated into two groups according to Community periodontal index (CPI) through periodontal examination.Group A was diagnosed with the early CP,and Group B was diagnosed with the late CP.Database was established by Epidata and statistical analysis was performed by SPSS.Results A total of 237 elderly patients with early CP and 139 with late CP were recorded.The mean OHIP-14 scores of the former were 14.36 ± 6.67,and the score of the later were 15.65 ± 7.12 relatively.The two groups who lived through negative effects were compared.The results suggested in the 14 items of OHIP-14.The statistical significance existed in the following 4 items,obvious pain appeared,uncomfortable when eating anything,unsatisfied with own diet,become easy to lose one's temper to others (P＜0.05).Conclusion OHR-QOL of elderly patients with the late CP is lower than that of those with the early CP.
