Objective: To explore the efficacy of mild moxibustion plus loratadine tablets for children with allergic rhinitis (AR).Methods: A total of 80 children were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with loratadine tablets, and the observation group was treated with mild moxibustion plus loratadine tablets. Before and after treatment, the total nasal symptom score (TNSS) was evaluated, and the serum eosinophils (EOS) count, and the interleukin (IL)-27 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels were measured. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the TNSS in both groups decreased (P<0.05), and the TNSS in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); the serum EOS count in both groups decreased (P<0.05), and the serum EOS count in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The serum IL-27 level in the control group had no statistical difference compared with the same group before treatment (P>0.05), and the serum MIF level decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The serum IL-27 level in the observation group increased after treatment (P<0.05), and the serum MIF level decreased after treatment (P<0.05), and were both statistically different from those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Mild moxibustion plus loratadine tablets is effective in treating children with AR. It can significantly improve the nasal symptoms and reduce the serum EOS count, which may be related to the regulation of the serum IL-27 and MIF levels.

Objective To compare laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and open cholecystectomy (OC) on their effects on systemic inflammatory immunological reactions. Methods Peripheral T-lymphocyte subpopulation, white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) before the surgery, 1 hour, 1 day and 2 days after the surgery, respectively, in patients with cholelithiasis or polypoid lesions of the gallbladder receiving either LC (n=30) or OC (n=30), were recorded and compared. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for IL-6 determination and the flow cytometry was adopted for T-lymphocyte subpopulation counting. Results The levels of CD3 ( q =5 822, P 0 05). Significantly lowered levels of WBC count ( t =4 904, P =0 000), CRP ( t =9 409, P =0 000) and IL-6 ( t =6 471, P =0 000) in group LC as compared with group OC 2 days after the surgery were observed. Conclusions LC imposes less influences on the systemic inflammatory immunological reactions and benefits the patient’s recovery.

Objective To know the status of microbial contamination in filtrated water and edible ice used in food processing,and to provide experimental basis for the management of HACCP of filtrated water and edible ice. Methods The samples of water and ice were collected from a western style restaurant in Changchun. The microbial indicators were tested based on Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water(2001). Results Results In the third quarter, 37.8%, 32.4%, 13.5% of total bacterium counts, total coliform counts, feces coliform counts of the water samples was unqualified. Conclusion The filtrated water and edible ice used in restaurants can be contaminated by microbes in degree. It is necessary for HACCP of filtrated water involved coliform counts contamination to carry out dynamic monitoring.

Objective To investigate formalin-induced nociceptive behavior and c-fos expression of interbrain following stellate ganglionic block (SGB) in rabbits. Methods Catheters were inserted closely to right stellate ganglia in rabbits by operation.One week later,twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, each group containing 8 animals. groups A,B and C received 0.5ml of normal saline,3% formalin and 3% formalin stimulation by intraplantar injection , respectively. 10 minutes before stimulation,0.5 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered via the catheter in group B, while in groups A and C 0.5 ml of normal saline was applied. Nociceptive behavior was observed for 1 hour using weighted pain score. 2 hours after stimulation, whole interbrain was removed to immunohistochemically detect the expression of c-fos. Results Formalin-induced nociceptive behavior in phase 2 was relieved following SGB, c-fos expression level of hypothalamus in group B was significantly lower than that in group C(P0.05). Conclusion SGB could relieve formalin-induced nociceptive behavior, and downregulate formalin-induced c-fos expression of hypothalamus, which may be related to the mechanisms of SGB for the treatment of inflammatory pain.

Objective To discuss the value of amnionic fluid lamellar body count(LBC) as a predictor of fetal lung maturity. Methods Amnionic fluid was obtained during the cesarean section of 41 normal term pregnancies. LBC was performed on each specimen, and lecithin-sphingomyelin(L/S) ratio was detected simultaneously. Results (1)Amnionic fluid LBC was (86?43)?10 3 (72.5?10 3~99.4?10 3) in normal term pregnancy. (2) Positive correlation was shown between the amnionic fluid LBC and L/S ratio(r=0.66,P=0.001). Conclusion The LBC is a rapid and accurate method to determine the fetal lung maturity.

The nuclear organizer region stained with silver colloid technique(AgNOR)was quantitatively studied in 100 cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.It was found that the average number of AgNOR granules was significantly different between various grades of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and was closely correlated with the prognosis of the patient.It is believed that AgNOR counting is a simple,economic and reliable method for the grading and the evaluation of the biological behavior of the transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.

The expression of A,B and H blood antigens were studied in 100 sepcimens of transitional-cell carcinoma with monoclonal antibodies and ABC immunohisto-chemical assay.And the patients were followed up.It was found that A,B and H antigens were positive in 63% of the cases.The rates of mortality and ecurrence were lower in the positive cases than in the negative ones(P
