Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of specific inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)aminoguanidine(AG)in rats with obstructive jaundice.Methods Forty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into four groups: normal control group, sham operation group, obstructive jaundice group and aminoguanidine therapeutic group.Each group had 10 rats.We assayed levels of liver function,hemobilirubin, endotoxin,lactic acid and malondialdehyde before and after therapy, and we also analyzed pathology of the liver and small intestine.Then we could explore the therapeutic effect of AG in rats with obstructive jaundice.Results The levels of endotoxin,lactic acid and malondialdehyde in blood increased progressively along with the pathological changes of the liver and small intestine.Each of the AG group parameters was significantly lower, and the pathological changes of liver and small intestine were improved.Conclusion AG could protect liver and small intestine by attenuating lipid peroxidative and endotoxemia,and provide a new way to cure obstructive jaundice.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of atomization inhalation pulmicort respules in treatment with pediatric acute infectious laryngitis. Methods 104 cases with pediatric acute infectious laryngitis admitted in Xiaoshan Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2011 to July 2013 were radomly divided into experimental group(n=52)and control group(n=52). Patients in experimental group were given atomization inhalation pulmicort respules,and patients in control group were received dexamethasone by intravenous injection. The symptom improvement,disappearing times of symptoms and therapeutic effect in two groups were observed and compared. Results Compared with control group,the improvement scores were higher,and disappearing time of symptoms were shorter in experiment group(P<0.05). The therapeutic effect in experimental group was up to 100%, while control group was 90.74%,and the difference between them was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with dexamethasone, atomization inhalation pulmicort respules has advantages in treatment with pediatric acute infectious laryngitis,with better efficacy,shorter treatment time and fewer side effects.

Objective To obtain the data of injury among children aged 0~6 years in Haidian area and Pinggu area of Beijing.Methods A total of 2970 children aged 0~6 years in Haidian District(city area) and 2558 in Pinggu District (rural area)were investigated by cluster sampling method.Results A total of 5528 children were investigated,the incidence of injury was 8.64%.The incidence rate of aged 0~6 years child injury in Haidian District was10.54%,which was much higher than that in Pinggu District (6.45%).The top five causes of injury were falls,animal bites,burn/scalds,injury by sharp articles and struck/hit by falling object in Pinggu District.The top five causes of injury were falls,animal bites,injury by sharp articles,burn/scalds and blunt in Haidian District.the sequences of injury were similar between the two districts.The incidence rate of burns/scalds was higher in Pinggu District than that in Haidian District.The types of injury were little different between children who lived at home and children who lived in kindergarten.The types of injury were not too different between genders.Falls was the leading cause of injury for all children(in cities or in countries,boys and girls,in different age group).Conclusion The incidence rates of injury and types of injury are different in different areas,genders and age groups.So the intervention of injury should be different.

Objective To study the sensitivity and specificity of parameter Corvis biomechanical index (CBI)— a new biomechanical index of Corvis ST in the diagnosis of keratoconus and evaluate the role of CBI in the diagnosis of keratoconus and the change of biomechanic.Methods A diagnostic trial study was adopted,and 66 eyes from 49 keratoconic patients (keratoconus group) and 91 right eyes from 91 myopic patients (control group) from April in 2018 to August in 2018 in Henan Eye Hospital were enrolled.Pentacam and Corvis ST examinations were performed by the same operator after the basic eye examinations.Using the evaluation of diagnostic test,consistency test,and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis,gain the outcome of the sensitivity,specificity,consistency,Youden index,and area under the ROC curve of the parameter CBI.This study protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Henan Eye Hospital and followed the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results Sixty eyes were diagnosed as keratoconus by the parameter CBI of Corvis ST.Evaluation of diagnosis test:the sensitivity was 97.0%,and the specificity was 97.8%;consistency check:Kappa =0.948,P<0.05.ROC curve analysis:the sensitivity was 98.5%,the specificity was 96.8%,Youden index was 96.3%,P<0.000 1 and AUC was 0.996.Conclusions CBI can separate healthy eyes from keratoconic eyes with highly sensitivity and specificity,which was highly consistency with results of Rabinowitz keratoconus diagnostic criteria.CBI could be used as a new biomechanical indicator for the diagnosis of keratoconus.

Objective To evaluate the effect of smoking and drinking status on the prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods The clinical data of 483 patients with ESCC who underwent surgical treatment in Shannxi Provincial People's Hospital from 2007 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 352 patients were male and 131 were female, with a median age of 64 (37-80) years. There were 311 smokers and 172 drinkers. The relationship between preoperative drinking or smoking status and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with ESCC was analyzed. Log-rank method and Cox risk regression were used to conduct univariate and multivariate survival analysis, respectively. Results The preoperative smoking status was related to the patient's tumor location (P=0.030). Drinking status was associated with tumor location (P=0.001), degree of differentiation (P=0.030), pathological T stage (P=0.024) and pathological N stage (P=0.029). Univariate survival analysis showed that smoking status did not affect the disease-free survival (DFS) (P=0.188) and overall survival (OS) (P=0.127) of patients with ESCC. However, patients who drank alcohol had worse PFS than non-drinking patients (29.37 months vs. 42.87 months, P=0.009). It was further proved that alcohol consumption was an independent risk factor affecting patients' recurrence and metastasis by using multivariate analysis (RR=1.28, P=0.040). Alcohol consumption also reduced the OS of patients by 21.47 months (P=0.014), however, multivariate analysis did not yield significant results. Conclusion Preoperative drinking status is related to the stage and differentiation of patients with ESCC. It is an independent risk factor affecting the recurrence and metastasis of ESCC.
