Chongqing Medicine 2014;(2):142-143,146
Objective To observe the long-term efficacy of nasal endoscopy-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU ) in the treatment of allergic rhinitis .Methods 300 patients with allergic rhinitis who failed in medication were randomly divided into the treatment group(n=162) and the control group(n=138) .The patients in the treatment group were accepted the nasal endosco-py-guided HIFU therapy ,while the patients in the control group were subjected to the hypothermy plasma ablation .The two groups were followed up after operation ,and the visual analogue scale(VAS) was employed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy at postoper-ative 3 ,6 ,12 ,24 months .The saccharin tests were performed at the beginning and ending of treatment to assess the nasal mucocili-ary function in the patients of the two groups who voluntarily accepted the functional test of nasal cilia .Results After 2-week treat-ment ,nasal congestion ,sneezing ,runny nose ,nasal itching and other symptoms in the two groups were significantly relieved with no obvious complication .2-year follow-up demonstrated that the total effective rate in the treatment group was 61 .4% ,which was markedly higher than 50 .7% in the control group(P=0 .017) .The average saccharin clearance time of the treatment group (n=49) and the control group(n=39) were(464 ± 152)s and(738 ± 149)s ,respectively ,and their difference was statistical significant (P=0 .026) .Conclusion The long-term efficacy of HIFU treatment in allergic rhinitis is superior to that of hypothermy plasma abla-tion ,possesses less impacts on the nasal mucociliary function ,and is worthy of clinical promotion .
2.Research progress on the relationship between FOXM1 and neo-plasm metabolism
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;42(22):1108-1111
FOXM1 is a member of the FOX family of transcription factors and has been confirmed to participate in cell prolifera-tion and cell cycle progress. FOXM1 has been reported to play an important role in more than 20 types of human neoplasms, and its up-regulation promotes tumor cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, chemotherapy drug resistance, and resistance to apoptosis. In recent years, various studies have shown that FOXM1 also plays an important role in tumor metabolism. The metabolism of cancer cells deter-mines the growth and survival of cancer, and metabolic alteration is a key feature of tumor cells. The connection between metabolic ab-normalities and tumorigenesis has been reported. The O-linkedβ-N-acetylglucosamine transferase regulates the expression of FOXM1, which helps tumor cells survive without damage caused by oxidative stress. This review aims to summarize the known relationships of FOXM1 and tumor cell metabolism, as well as its role in the potential pathways of tumor metabolism.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasonic diagnosis of congenital prepyloric diaphragm. Methods Twelve cases were collected for the analysis of the characteristics of ultrasonography in diagnosis of congenital prepyloric diaphragm. Results Of the 12 cases of congenital prepyloric diaphragm, valvula in pyloric antrum could be observed in 5 cases, inclusive of 2 cases of complicating pachyntic stenosis of pyloric muscular layer. Other valvula in pyloric canal could not be found with ultrasonography. No pyloric muscular layer pachynsis was observed, but signs of pyloric obstruction such as gastric retention, slow or difficult transfer of gastric contents, gastro-esophageal reflux were found. Prepyloric diaphragm was confirmed surgically in all cases. Conclusion Ultrasonic diagnosis of congenital prepyloric diaphragm is of practical value in clinical practice and can provide reliable imaging data for the option of preoperative approaches.

Objective To investigate the possible pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, T2DM, AD and T2DM +AD groups. The blood glucose levels were assayed, and the behavior changes were tested by Morris water maze. The glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and hyperphosphorylation of tau protein were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. Results Compared with the control rats, the learning and memory abilities were weakened significantly in the model rats (F=28. 65, P<0.001). The expression of GSK-3β was higher in T2DM + AD group (4319. 02±653. 24) than in AD group (304. 39 ± 175. 83), T2DM group (540.43 ± 558.49) and control group (315. 56 ± 91. 64, H=19. 335, all P<0. 01). The level of hyperphosphorylation of tau protein was significantly increased in T2DM + AD group (8583. 81 ± 2236. 11) and AD group (2799. 61±1070. 02) than in control group (252. 02 ± 58. 37) and T2DM group (287. 75 ± 192. 53, H=32. 950, P< 0.001). There was no significantly difference of hyperphosphorylation of tau between T2DM group and control group (H = 32. 950, P>0. 05). Conclusions The increasing of GSK-3β activity in T2DM may be caused by hyperphosphorylation of tau.

The original teaching of clinical pharmacy for stomatology course did not let students aware of the importance of drugs in the treatment of oral diseases. The original teaching framework was rearranged:decentralizing knowledge of oral diseased related clinical pharmacy into several mod-ules;setting general knowledge into the oral basic medical module;adding the practice of visiting the pharmacy and manufacturing laboratory. Teaching process was closely combined with clinics and was integrated with disease-centered oral medicine curriculum integration system. Students responded that the teaching effect was better. The rearranged teaching method can enhance students' attention on drug treatment for oral diseases,improve their ability of clinical medication and promote the teaching quality.

Objective To analyze the difference of macular retinal thickness between normal subjects and diabetic patients without retinopathy,and discuss the relationship between macular thickness and the course of diabetes,blood glucose level.Methods Twenty-two cases of patients with diabetic without retinopathy without retinopathy in our hospital of fourth Department of Internal medicine from April 2016 to November 2016 were selected as diabetic without retinopathy group,and another 22 normal pemons were selected as the normal group.The central subfield retinal thickness (CSRT),cube volume(CV) and cube average thickness(CAT) of all patients were determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT),and the difference of CSRT,CV and CAT between diabetic patients and normal group were analyzed.Then,the patients with diabetic retinopathy were sub-grouped according to the course of diabetes (group A,B,C,) and blood glucose status (group D and E),and the differences of CSRT,CV and CAT among them were compared.Results With the increase of diabetes duration in the diabetic without retinopathy group,CSRT,CV and CAT were gradually increased,and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).With rising blood sugar in diabetics in the diabetic without retinopathy group,CSRT,CV and CAT were gradually increased,and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).There were positive correlation between CSRT,CV,CAT and course,blood sugar of diabetes mellitus (all P < 0.05).Conclusion Compared with normal population,CSRT,CV and CAT are significantly thickened in diabetes mellitus patients,and CSRT,CV and CAT are increased gradually with the increase of diabetes and blood glucose,which provide reliable reference for the diagnosis of early diabetic retinopathy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathologic significance of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17(ADAM 17) mRNA in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC),and to evaluate its relation to clinicopathological features. MethodsThe expression of ADAM17 mRNA in 50 ESCC and 50 normal esophageal tissues were detected by RT-PCR. ResultsThe mRNA expression of ADAM17 in 50 ESCC and 50 normal esophageal tissues were 0.937±0.241 and 0.225±0.077,respectively.The expression of ADAM17 mRNA in the ESCC was much higher than in normal esophageal tissues (t=-19.899,P<0.01).The expression of ADAM 17 mRNA was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis(t=-4.703,P<0.01 ) and TNM staging (t=-2.652,P<0.05).There were no correlation between the expression of ADAM17 mRNA and sex,age and histological grade (t=0.299,-0.907,-3.163,all P>0.05).ConclusionADAM17 mRNA was higherly express in ESCC than in normal esophageal tissues and may play an important role in the development,invasion and metastasis of ESCC.It may be used as a prognostic factor.
