Chronic rhinonasal diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cause impairment to the quality of life, increase the hospitalization and mortality. But we know little about the relationship between chronic rhinonasal disease (such as rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps and so on) and COPD. This review aimed to reveal the correlation of rhinonasal disease and COPD, as in epidemiology, mechanism, clinical presents, treatment and so on.

Objective To study the effect of early rehabilitation on dysphagia in the patients with acute stroke. Methods 126 patients with acute stroke were divided into 2 groups: rehabilitation group (n=63) and control group (n=63). The rehabilitation group was trained with the swallowing function immediately after inhospital. They were evaluated with the drinking water test before and a month after treatment. Results The swallowing function improved in the rehabilitation group (P<0.01), and the incidence of aspiration pneumonitis decreased (P<0.01) compared with those in the control group. Conclusion Early rehabilitation of dysphagia in the patients of acute stroke can improve the function of swallowing, and reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonitis.

Objective To investigate the effect of interferon alfα-2b on the ultrastructure and Caspase-3 levels in villus in early pregnancy with bacterial vaginal disease (BV). Method Early pregnant women were divided into two groups. The treated group included 25 early pregnant women with BV who chose to have an early termination and were treated with rhINFα-2b. The controling group included 30 early pregnant women without any genital tract infectious diseases. The caspase-3 levels in trophocytes were detected by immunochemistry and the ultrastructural changes were observed in villus by transmission electron microscopy. Result (1)There was no apparent difference of ultrastructural changes between the two groups. (2)There was no statistical significance of the levels of caspase-3 between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The excessive apoptosis do not occur in the trophocytes when treated with INFα-2b.

Objective To observe any change in the laterality index (LI) in the active volume of the hand motor cortex during rehabilitation after acute cerebral infarction and to analyze the mechanisms involved in the rehabilitation of motor function.Methods Sixteen patients with acute cerebral infarcts were administered standard but individualized rehabilitation training.Blood oxygenation-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) was used to evaluate the active volume of their hand sensorimotor cortex (SMC) and the LI,at admission and after 14 days of rehabilitation.The Fugl-Meyer motor assessment for the hand (FMA) was used to evaluate hand function.Ten healthy volunteers were recruited as a control group and subjected to a single BOLD-fMRI examination to confirm the location and the volume of the active area when performing the same rehabilitation exercises.Results The baseline LI of affected hand SMC activation was significantly smaller than that of the unaffected hand [(0.010 ±0.808) versus (0.789 ± 0.157)],but no significant difference was observed between the affected and the unaffected hands after treatment.Rehabilitation therapy significantly increased the SMC LI of affected hand activation when compared with the baseline,but no such effect was observed with the unaffected hand.In 12 patients with dysfunction of the right hand as evaluated by the FMA,the baseline LI of the affected hand was smaller than that of the unaffected hand and that of the healthy volunteers.Conclusion Rehabilitation after acute infarction can promote functional recovery.The LI of the affected hand reflects cerebral plasticity during rehabilitation after acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To study the effect of vitro thrombolytic test on the consumptions of urokinase(UK) in thrombolytic therapy of acute cerebral infarction.Methods The patients of acute cerebral infarction were treated with UK at the dose determined by vitro thrombolytic test,and then were given UK 40MU each day in the later 7 days.The degree of neurologic impairment,fibrinogen(Fbg) level,polyreaction speed(FMPV) and maximum luminosity(ODmax) were examined at different time point.Results Thrombolytic therapy could significantly reduce neurologic impairment as compared with control group((P

[Objective]To discuss the application of the short reconstruction intramedullary nail in treating intertrochanteric fracture.[Method]From Jan 2000 to Aug 2004,35 patients(14 males and 21 females)with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated by short reconstruction intramedullary nail.Various data were analyzed for evaluating the characteristics and curative effect.[Result]The mean incision length was 3.5 cm,the average duration of operation and intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy was 65 min and 0.16 min,respectively.The mean blood loss was 50 ml.None of the complications occurred postoperatively,including nonunion,deep venous thrombosis or infection of the incision etc.except only 1 malunion due to inappropriate surgical skill.Internal fixation loosening didn't appear in 97% of the patients.[Conclusion]Using short reconstruction intramedullary nail to treat intertrochanteric fracture can obtain satisfing outcomes of different concerns,such as time-saving,small incision,few complications,quick recovery and so on,which indicates that it should be the first choice for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Objective To research the indoor air pollution in offices induced by decoration and its health effects. Methods According to the completed time, the offices were divided into 6 groups (2 month group, 2-4 month group, 5-8 month group, 9-11 month group, 12-18 month group, over 5 year group). The concentration of indoor air pollutants was determined and 617 people from the decorated offices were randomly selected to finish the questionnaires on health. Results The over standard rate of formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia in indoor air was the highest in 2 month group, 100%, 87.3%, 83.9% respectively. The concentration of indoor air pollutants decreased as the time went on, about one year after decoration, the concentrations were lower than the standard limits (GB/T 18883-2002). The adverse response rate of the staff members in offices decorated group (76.4%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (30.9%) (P

The vocal cord polyp is easy to relapse after surgery, but if the patient has recurrence in a short term, it is necessary to consider it as postoperative vocal cord contact granuloma. If the patients with contact granuloma after surgical treatment had severe impact on the pronunciation, it is necessary to be operated and confirmed by pathology and given the treatment of acid suppression, in order to avoid postoperative recurrence.

Objective:To observe the related factors of depression in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction with mild cognitive impairment.Methods:From 2016 to 2019, 114 patients with mild cognitive impairment of lacunar cerebral infarction in Kailuan General Hospital were selected as the research objects.MRI brain scan was completed within 72 hours after admission, and Zung′s self rating Depression Scale (SDS) was used to evaluate emotion within 1 week.According to the results of SDS, 69 patients with mild cognitive impairment and no depression of lacunar infarction were selected as the control group, and 45 patients with mild cognitive impairment and mild depression of lacunar infarction were selected as the case group.The general clinical data, the proportion of patients with lacunar infarction in different brain regions and cognitive function of the two groups were observed.Logistic regression method was used to analyze the risk factors of depression in patients with mild cognitive impairment of lacunar infarction, and the characteristics of clinical somatization symptoms were observed.Results:(1)There were 53 males (76.81%, 53/69) and 16 females (23.19%, 16/69) in the control group, 29 males (64.44%, 29/45) and 16 females (35.55%, 16/45) in the case group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P=0.049). Hyperhomocysteinemia in the control group and the case group was 31.88% (22/69) and 53.33%(24/45), respectively, with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P=0.003). (2) The incidence rates of lacunar infarction in basal ganglia and oval center was 80% (36/45) and 71.11% (32/45) in case group respectively, and 59.42% (41/69) and 18.84% (13/69) in control group respectively.The difference between two groups was statistically significant ( P values were 0.001 and <0.001), and there was no significant difference in infarct size in other regions ( P>0.05). (3) The rate of impaired attention and computing power in the case group was 88.89%(40/45), which was higher than that in the control group 78.26%(54/69), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.036). (4) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hyperhomocysteemia ( OR=2.659, 95% CI 1.041-6.793, P<0.05) and central oval infarction ( OR=10.332, 95% CI 4.069-26.235, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for mild cognitive dysfunction and depression in lacunar cerebral infarction.(5) The proportion of insomnia and tears with somatization symptoms in the case group was 35.56%(16/45) and 37.77%(17/45), respectively, which were higher than that in the control group 8.70%(6/69) and 2.90%(2/69), respectively, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Hyperhomocysteinemia and hemioval central cerebral infarction are independent risk factors for depression in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction with mild cognitive dysfunction, accompanied by somatization symptoms of insomnia and tearing.
