Objective Clinical studies of Chronic Nasosinusitis by endoscopic intranasal sinus surgery under head mirror.Methods 43 cases were operatived by endoscopic intranasal sinus surgery under head mirror.Results 29 cases were cured and 14 cases effectived, Efficiency 100.00%. 17 uncinate process residue, There were no severe complications.Conclusion Endoscopic intranasal sinus surgery under head mirror for chron icsinu sit is and nasal polyps can solveo stiom eatalcomplex anom alism more effectively and raise the cure rates of sinusitis (type Ⅰ、Ⅱ) than conventional technique in surgery.This choice will reduce the cost of the patients than Endoscopic sinus surgery, but must be provided with the knowledge in nasal and paranasal sinus, grapple the gist of endoscopic intranasal sinus, strict Surgical indication at the same time.

Objective To observe the efficacy of a rotating magnetic field and granisetron hydrochloride in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by a eisplatin regimen, and any side effects. Methods Sixty-eight patients receiving cisplatin regimen chemotherapy were randomly assigned to two groups: a magnetic treatment group and a drug treatment group. The patients in the two groups were exposed to a rotating magnetic field or received granisetron hydrochloride, respectively. The effects of the treatments were observed. Results Both treatments could effectively prevent and treat the vomiting caused by chemotherapy. The rate of response to the rotating magnetic field was 88.2% and to the drug 91.2%. However, tardive vomiting was significantly better controlled in the rotating magnetic field group. The incidence of side effects in the magnetic field group was 20.6% , and in the drug treatment group it was 45.6%. Conclusion The efficacy of a rotating magnetic field and granisetron in treating acute vomiting were simi- lar. The rotating magnetic field was more effective in preventing tardive vomiting and had fewer side effects. Magnetic therapy should be more generally applied in clinical practice.

Objective To observe the effect of a rotating magnetic field in preventing and treating irradiation-induced esophagitis in rats. Methods Forty female Wistar rats were randomized into 5 groups:a non-irradiated control group,an irradiation group,an amifostine treatment group ( amifostine group ),a 90 min magnetic field treatment group (90 min magnetic group) and a 120 min magnetic field treatment group ( 120 min magnetic group),with 8 rats in each group.The esophaguses of all rats except those in the control group were exposed to a single irradiation with 6 MV X-rays from a linear accelerator at a dosage of 43 Gy.Four rats in each group were randomly chosen to be observed 1 and 2 weeks after the irradiation.Blood cytokines were detected in their arterial blood.Any pathological changes of the esophagus were observed with HE staining under a light microscope at the same time. Results Irradiation-induced esophagitis was observed in the irradiation group 7 days after irradiation,with obvious exfoliation and necrosis of the esophagal epithelium mucosae.The submucosa were hyperaemic and dropsical with abundant inflammatory cell infiltration.The pathological changes of the esophagus were similar at 7 and 14 days after irradiation.However,the irradiation-induced esophagitis of rats in the amifostine group,the 90 min magnetic group and the 120 min magnetic group were relatively slighter and the blood leucocytes and neutrophis in those 3 groups were significantly lower than those in the irradiation group,while a tendency toward repair of the mucosa of the esophagus was detected.Serum TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in the 90 min magnetic group and 120 min magnetic group were significantly lower than those in the irradiation group. Conclusions Both a rotating magnetic field and amifostine can help prevent and treat irradiation-induced esophagitis.Their therapeutic efficacy is similar.Exposure to a rotating magnetic field could inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors,and thus lessen the inflammatory reaction of acute irradiation-induced esophagitis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate liver fibrosis-related changes of CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in peripheral blood and in liver-infiltrating lymphocytes (LILs) using a mouse model.

METHODSC57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a model group and a control group. The model group received intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CC1₄) to induce liver fibrosis, and the control group received an equal volume of physiological saline. Serum was collected for detection of alanine aminotransferase level. Histopathological changes in liver were assessed by microscopic observation of tissues stained by hematoxylineosin and Masson. Frequencies of peripheral and intrahepatic Tregs, NK1.1⁺ cells, CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Intrahepatic Foxp3+ cells were detected by immunofluorescence. Liver expression of IL-6, IL-10, TGFb and Foxp3 was measured by RT-PCR detection of mRNA .Inter-group differences were evaluated by t-test.

RESULTSThe model group showed a significantly higher frequency of intrahepatic CD25⁺Foxp3⁺/CD4⁺ Tregs (10.63% ± 1.50% vs. control group:1.80% ± 0.66%; P less than 0.01) but only slightly higher frequency of peripheral Tregs (6.00% ± 0.62% vs. 5.33% ± 2.86%). The model group also showed significantly higher levels of intrahepatic Foxp3+ cells and of Foxp3 mRNA (both P less than 0.05), but significantly lower frequencies of NK1.1 cells in LILs (9.53% ± 2.25% vs. 19.80% ± 5.97%; P less than 0.05) and in peripheral blood (0.38% ± 0.13% vs. 1.06% ± 0.63%; P less than 0.05). The CD4⁺ cell frequency and the CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio were lower in LILs and peripheral blood of the model group, but none differed significantly from the control group. The intrahepatic expression of TGFb mRNA was significantly higher in the model group (P less than 0.01).

CONCLUSIONIn liver fibrosis, intrahepatic CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3+ Tregs are increased while NK1.1+ cells are decreased. Tregs may suppress NK1.1+ cells through a mechanism involving TGFb.
