OBJECTIVE:
To determine if greater efficacy could be achieved with the intranasal antihistamine azelastine and the intranasal corticosteroid fluticasone propionate used concurrently in the treatment of nasal obstruction of persistent non-allergic rhinitis.
METHOD:
A total of 162 persistent non-allergic rhinitis cases with moderate to severe nasal obstruction were randomized to treatment with the following: the combination therapy or nasal corticosteroids monotherapy. Efficacy was assessed by change from baseline in nasal obstruction score at week 2 and week 6 visits. The perceptions of global treatment satisfaction(convenience, side effects, cost and effectiveness) in both groups were analyzed.
RESULT:
In both groups, the nasal obstruction score assessment descended significantly at week 2 and week 6 visits versus at baseline (all P < 0.01). At week 2 and week 6 visits, the nasal obstruction score in the combination therapy groups were significantly improved than that in nasal corticosteroids monotherapy groups (all P < 0.01). The perceptions of global treatment satisfaction in the combination therapy groups were significantly better (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Azelastine nasal spray and intranasal corticosteroid in combination may provide a substantial therapeutic benefit for patients with persistent non-allergic rhinitis, especially nasal obstruction. The combination therapy was well tolerated and safety.

Objectives 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) SPECT imaging technology was used to observe the condition of tumor cell in-taking imaging agent in the C57BL/6J mice Lewis lung cancer model before and after using Ginsenoside Rg3 (short for Rg3).We aimd so as to discuss the feasibility of using this method to evaluate tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) status.Methods Mice Lewis lung cancer models were randomly divided into Rg3 group and the control group.After applying Rg3,semi-quantitative analysis was made on 99mTc-MIBI SPECT imaging and region of interest (ROI) to observe the multidrug resistance state of tumor and then the results were compared with the detection results of flow cytometry.Results The tumor intake ratio (T/N) difference between the control group and the Rg3 group in imaging,imaging before applying Rg3 and imaging after applying Rg3 were separately 15,60 and 120 min.The differences were statistical significant (P < 0.01).The eliminate indexes (WR) of the control group and Rg3 group were positively related to P-gp protein expression positive cells detected by flow cytometry (P < 0.05).Conclusions 99mTc-MIBI imaging is negatively related to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression in mice Lewis lung cancer cells,which can clearly show the multidrug resistance state of tumors and dynamically monitor the effect of Rg3 on multidrug resistance reversion of mice Lewis lung cancer.

The Journal of Practical Medicine 2017;33(19):3295-3298
Objective To investigate the genotype and its homology of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter (CRE)isolated from hospitalized patients and to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Methods Drug sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics widely used in clinic was detected with a VITEK-2 COMPACT fully automated microbiological system. Resistance genes including blaKPC,blaNDM-1,blaIMI-1,blaGES,blaSME and blaSHV were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)assay. Results Thirty carbapenem-resistance strains were col-lected,including e.cloacac(17 strains),e. Aerogenes(10 strains),e. Sakazakii(2strains)and e. Cancerogenus (1strain). Positive genes included blaSHV(20.0%),blaNDM-1(16.7%),blaKPC(6.7%),blaGES(3.3%), blaIMI-1 (0) and blaSME (0). Five strains which harbored blaNDM-1 were isolated into 3types. Conclusions The most prevalence resistance genes among the strains are blaSHV ,followed by blaNDM-1 and other resistance genes at difference levels. There is potentially clonal spread of the resistance genes in the same room or in the whole hospital.

Objective To study the clinical and prognostic value of CK19 mRNA-positive circulating tumor cells in early breast cancer patients. Methods We analyzed the peripheral blood in 50 patients with early breast cancer after surgery and before the initiation of any adjuvant treatment for the presence of CK19 mRNA-positive circulating tumor cells using a nest reverse polymerase chain reaction assay. All patients were followed up. Results CK19 mRNA-positive cells were detected in 40.0 %(20/50) of patients with early breast cancer, 12.5 %(3/24) of patients with breast benign lesions, but 5 %(1/20) in healthy individuals (P =0.017,P =0.004); 11 to 20 of them relapsed during the follow-up period (P =0.002). There was no significant association between the detection of CK19 mRNA-positive cell and the patients' menstrual status, tumor stage, tumor size, etc (P >0.05). Detection of peripheral-blood CK19 mRNA-positive cells was associated with reduced median relapse-free interval in early breast cancer patients (P =0.007). Conclusion CK19 mRNA is one of the molecular markers for the detection of circulating tumor cells in early breast cancer. Detection of peripheral blood CK19 mRNA-positive cells might be an important predictive value as a marker of relapse in early breast cancer patients.

AIM: To study the survival, transfer and distribution of bone marrow CD34+/CD45+ cells from transgenic GFP mouse after transplanted into the completed transversional spinal cord rat model. METHODS: The bone marrow cells isolated from transgenic GFP mice were cultured in vitro. The cultured cells were identified by anti-CD34 and anti-CD45 monoclonal antibodies, and were transferred into the end of transection spinal cord. Paraformaldehyde was infused into the left ventricle of the rat model at the 24 h, 48 h, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after cell transplantation. Through sank and frozen, the spinal cord was sectioned at 10 ?m thickness. The green fluorescence positive cells were observed under the fluorescence microscope. CD34+/CD45+ cells were identified by immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS: Green fluorescence positive cells were found at the head and the end of the completed transection part of spinal cord. Most of the green fluorescence positive cells were distributed in the gray substance of spinal cord. CD34+/CD45+ cells were found by immunohistochemistry staining. CONCLUSION: CD34+/CD45+ cells survived in spinal cord of SD rat, and migrated to the head of the transection part. The distance of migration was extended by the time.
