Fifty-nine patients (62 cases ) with chronic antritis were operated by Caldwell-Luc's operation with middle meatal antrostomy and followed up for 0.5 ~5 years. It was found that curative effect of the oper ation was quite well. Eghty patients treated with Caldwell-Lucs operation were followed up as control at the same time. Caldwell-Luc's operation with middle meatal antrostomy was found safe, easy to operate and not injurious to agger nasi, as well as partially recoverable to sinus function.

Objective:To study the effects of LSPC on impairment of learning and memory in mice induced by scopolamine and alcohol,and its possible mechanism.Method:One hundred male Kun-Ming mice were randomly divided into 2 batches,50 in each.Each batch was then divided into 5 groups(n=10):control,model,LSPC of 22.5,45,90 mg/kg bw.Group 3-5 was treated with lotus seedpod procyanidins(LSPC,dissolved in normal saline,22.5,45,90 mg/kg bw)by ig.each day for 20 d,while group 1-2 was treated with ig.normal saline.The model of learning and memory impairment was established by ip.3 mg/kg bw scopolamine hydrobromide or ig.40% alcohol in 0.1 ml/10 g bw respectively.Then,effect of LSPC on learning and memory in mice were tested by Y-maze.As to the mice whose learning and memory ability was impaired by alcohol,their brains were dissected out after Y-maze experiment for detecting the level of MDA,the activity of SOD and MAO-B.Results:The learning and memory abilities of mice impaired by scopolamine were remarkably improved after22.5 and 90mg/kg bw LSPC treatment.In the alcohol experiment,the impairment was significantly improved after three different doses of LSPC administration.The level of MDA was reduced,the activity of SOD increased and the activity of MAO-B decreased in mice that learning and memory was impaired by alcohol.Conclusion:LSPC can improve learning and memory abilities of the mice impaired by alcohol and scopolamine,and the mechanism in alcohol experiment probably lay on its suppressive effect on MAO-B activity and protection of neurons from oxidative stress.
