Children allergic rhinitis, referred to as children allergic rhinitis (AR), is a kind of non-infectious inflammation of the nasal mucosa mediated by IgE with the main symtoms of paroxysmal sneezing, rhinorrhoea, nasal itching and nasal obstruction when the susceptible individuals contact the allergen. It is a high reaction disease of the respiratory mucosa common with childhood, which has serious implications to the Children's quality of life, study, rest and growth. The global sampling survey reveals that the morbidity is about 14%, of which 10% in our country and there is an upward trend year by year. At present, drug therapy is still one of the most important methods for children AR. Definite diagnosis, standardized drug therapy and the development of new specific immune therapy make children AR in a good control . This review updates the diagnosis and treatment for children AR, referring to the newest guide by WHO about allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma (ARIA).

In the bioelectric measurement, the electrode impedance detection is an important index to the signal quality evaluation and sensor electrode contact condition. In this paper, a method of accurately measuring the electrode impedance based on EEG measurement system was put forward, the method is based on the constant current source excitation signals which are added to the human body, by monitoring the human voltage to measure the electrode impedance. And different reference resistor calibration calculation in different sections was used to reduce the effect of constant current source on the precision of measurement results to improve the measurement accuracy.

Purpose:To explore the value of MSCT-3D in stomatology through comparing with COPT.Materials and Methods:Both MSCT 117 patients and COPT 117 patients in stomatology were selected at a particular period,COPT imaging was using computed post-processing,MSCT imaging was processed according to 3D information through work station,then to analyze the imaging results according to metal tooth、damaged tooth and broken tooth,later to compare the photograph 、the technique of computed post-processing、the photograph condition and exposure of MSCT and COPT.Results:Normal COPT patients were 9 cases ( 0.24% ),normal teeth were 3160 (84.4% ),unusual teeth were 551 (15.6%),normal MSCT-3D patients were llcases ( 0.29% ),normal teeth were 3138 (83.8% ),and unusual teeth were 606 (16.2% ).COPT belonged to COPT photograph,the emphasis was 2D,MSCT-3D belonged to spiral photograph,the emphasis was 3D,and MSCT imaging could be processed according to 3D reformation.The 3D effect of MSCT was batter than that of COPT.The radiation dosage was much higher than that of COPT.Conclusions: COPT could get 2D effects: MSCT-3D could improve 3D results on 2D basis,but the radiation dosage of MSCT is much higher than that of COPT in stomatology.

Objective To strengthen the scientific management of automatic processor and promote QC, based on analyzing QC management chart for automatic processor by statistical method, evaluating and interpreting the data and trend of the chart. Methods Speed, contrast, minimum density of step wedge of film strip were measured everyday and recorded on the QC chart. Mean ( ), standard deviation ( s ) and range(R) were calculated. The data and the working trend were evaluated and interpreted for management decisions. Results Using relative frequency distribution curve constructed by measured data, we can judge whether it is a symmetric bell shaped curve or not. If not, it indicates a few extremes overstepping control limits possibly are pulling the curve to the left or right. If it is a normal distribution, standard deviation( s ) is observed. When ?2s lies in upper and lower control limits of relative performance indexes, it indicates the processor works in stable status in this period. Conclusion Guided by statistical method, QC work becomes more scientific and quantified. We can deepen understanding and application of the trend chart, and improve the quality management to a new step.

Objective To construct a lentivirus vector for RNA interference targeting myosin Va gene and to observe its effect on motility and migration of human pulmonary giant cell carcinoma PG cells. Methods Based on the efficient target sequence for myosin Va RNAi, two pairs of oligo DNA containing myosin Va RNAi target sequence or scramble sequence were synthesized and inserted into pSuper vector, followed by sequence analysis. The expressing cassette H1 promoter-shM5A/shCON from the recombinant pSuper plasmid was then transferred to the lentivirus vector plenti4, and the recombinant lentivirus was packaged. PG cells were transduced with the packaged lentivirus and the positive cells were screened by zeocin selection. RT-PCR was performed to determine the myosin Va RNAi efficiency in zeocin-resistant PG cells, and wounding assay and Boyden chamber assay were utilized to examine the capabilities of motility and migration in myosin Va RNAi PG cells. Results Restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed the successful construction of the lentivirus vector containing myosin Va RNAi target or scramble sequence. RT-PCR result showed that myosin Va mRNA levels were remarkably reduced in lentivirus-based myosin Va RNAi PG cells. The abilities of motility and migration were also significantly inhibited in lentivirus-based myosin Va RNAi PG cells, as demonstrated in wounding assay and Boyden chamber assay.Conclusion Myosin Va RNAi lentivirus vector was successfully constructed and efficiently repressed myosin Va expression in PG cells. Repression of myosin Va by RNAi led to the inhibition of PG cells motility and migration, indicating that there might exist correlation between the expression of myosin Va and cancer progression.

Objective To study the impact on the radiation dose,organ doses of eye lens and thyroid and image quality with different scanning modes in head and neck CT scan.Methods The simulation phantom of head and neck was scanned by using fixed scanning condition (120 kV and 200 mAs),as well as the combinations of automatic tube current modulation (CARE Dose 4D),automatic tube voltage modulation technique (CARE kV) and partial angle scanning mode (X-CARE) respectively.Six kinds of scanning modes were adopted,including 120 kV +200 mAs,120 kV + 200 mAs + X-CARE,CARE Dose 4D + 120 kV,CARE Dose 4D + 120 kV + X-CARE,CARE Dose 4D + CARE kV,CARE Dose 4D + CARE kV + X-CARE.Two thermolumineseece dosimeters (TLDs) were exposed at the skin surface positions of eye lens and thyroid,and the values measured with two TLDs were averaged.The CT dose index volume (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) for every scan were recorded,and the contrast to noise ratio (CNR) in eye lens section and thyroid section were measured.Results The crgan doses of lens and thyroid were 19.8 and 26 mGy at 120 kV and 200 mAs,as well as 13.3 and 22.2 mGv at X-CARE mode.Compared with the manual selection of 120 kV,the combination of CARE kV and CARE Dose 4D made the values of CTDIvol drop from 13.1 to 10.1 mGy,the doses of eye lens and thyroid from 16.6 and 20.8 mGy to 23.7 and 19.9 mGy respectively,while the image quality reducedsignificantly.Compared with CARE Dose 4D + 120 kV,the organ doses of eye lens and thyroid were reduced from 20.8 and 23.7 mGy to 9.6 and 15.1 mGy for with additional X-CARE,while CTDIvol dropped from 13.1 to 9.3 mGy.When the combination of CARE Dose 4D + CARE kV + X-CARE was used,CTDIvol and organ doses were reduced to a minimum,when the CNRs of head and neck were also minimized.Conclusions The scanning mode CARE Dose 4D + 120 kV + X-CARE for head and CARE Dose 4D + CARE kV for neck can effectively reduce the radiation dose while keeping good image quality.When requirements for image quality are not high,CARE Dose 4D + CARE kV + X-CARE mode can be selected to reduce the radiation dose significantly.
