1.Progress of immunologic derangement in the pathogenesis of primary nephritic syndrome
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(1):68-71
Help T cell 1/Help T cell 2 and some cytokines disequilibrium can give a suitable explanation for hypersensitivity and hypogammaglobulinemia in primary nephritic syndrome(PNS) patients. The disturbance of regulatory T cell(Treg cell) and Th17 cell can lead to correlated cytokines derangement, which explained the pathogenesis of PNS from another aspect. Refractory nephrotic syndrome can be effectively treated by rituximab followed the percentage of regulatory T cell increasing, which indicated that Treg may play an important role in pathogenesis of PNS.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of auricular point sticking in preventing pain after perianal abscess surgery.Method Sixty patients going to receive radical perianal abscess surgery admitted by the First Affiliated Hospitalof Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine between December of 2015 and February of 2016 were enrolled and randomized into an ordinary group and an auricular point sticking group. Pain was scored at different time points after the surgery and the use of analgesics was also recorded.Result There were significant inter-group differences in comparing the pain intensity from 6 h after the surgery till 7:30 on the next day of the surgery (P<0.05);the between-group differences in comparing the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores from the 2nd day till the 7th day despite of the dressing change time were unstable(P>0.05,P<0.05); the differences in pain intensity at the dressing change were statistical significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Auricular point sticking can effectively treat mild-moderate pain in the early stage after perianal abscess surgery at non-dressing-change time, and it can also produce a satisfactory effect in preventing moderate-severe pain at dressing change after perianal abscess surgery.

Refractive surgery for myopia is a common operation and has been performed on millions of patients .Improved technology has increased the satisfaction of patients and physicians .Surgery must follow the basic requirements of medical ethics , to ensure the safety and best interests of the patients .The choice of procedure depends on individual patient indications and ocular exami -nations .Before the surgery , the opthalmologists must ensure that the patient understands the potential risk of the operation and has re -alistic expectations for the visual acuity postoperatively .
