Noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the ventilation treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is the first-line treatment method. This article aims to describe the effect of surgical operation especially for the UPPP in the individualized comprehensive treatment of OSAHS and the importance of surgical technique. Lower compliance is the bottleneck of CPAP therapy in clinical application, for the OSAHS patients with treatment failure in CPAP or those cannot accept CPAP therapy, when with no other ideal instrument therapeutics, accurate diagnosis of position in airway obstruction with an adequate surgical operation is the treatment,of choice. Surgical operation is particularly important either as a fore-lying means to improve the CPAP treatment compliance or as an independence treatment method of OSAHS. The pharyngeal cavity is the most common obstructive plane in patients with OSAHS. The operation of traditional UPPP aiming at the expansion of pharyngeal cavity is the classics surgery to solve obstruction in this plane, the lower operation effective rate is the main reason of restriction in its development. How to improve the effective rate of surgical treatment of OSAHS is our surgical goal. The effective rate of surgical operation treatment in OSAHS rely on the following sides: to follow the OSAHS individualized comprehensive treatment principle, reasonable choice of surgical operation indication, the precise localization diagnosis of upper airway obstruction, adequate surgical operation and skilled surgical techniques.

Catch-up growth,a phenomenon that occurs after a short time growth-inhibiting condition,has been proved to be strongly associated with insulin resistance.But the mechanism of insulin resistance in the process of catch-up growth is not clear.

To investigate the effects of the free radical, 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picylhydrazyl, on cochlear blood flow, 20 guinea pigs were divided into 3 groups at random, 6 for control group, 6 for 1 mmol/L group and 8 for 0.1 mmol/L group. 2 microliters vehicle or drugs were dropped into round window membrane (RWM). Cochlear microcirculation was monitored by laser Doppler flowmeter (LDF), and mean arterial blood flow (MABP), which was transferred by pressure conductor sensor and preamplifier, was simultaneously recorded on the computer. Our results showed that MABP was stable throughout the experiment. Cochlear blood flow (CBF) increased by 10.32% (P < 0.05) in 1 mmol/L group, and decreased by 4.89% in 0.1 mmol/L group (P < 0.05). In control group cochlear microcirculation showed no significant changes. It is concluded that DPPH exerted effects on cochlear microcirculation.

The model of vaginal candidiasis in Kunming mice was constructed in order to search for the optima construction conditions and provide an economic animal model of Candida albicans (C. albicans) vaginitis. Estrogen benzoate (E2) was given to mice at different concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 0.05 mg/mouse (4 levels) beginning 72 h prior to vaginal inoculation, then mice were inoculated intravaginally with various concentrations of stationary-phase C. albicans blastoconidia (ATCC90028) (5 levels) in 20 microL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in each E2 level. General state, scores of genital pathology, the hyphae and vaginal fungal burden (CFU) in vaginal lavage fluid, the hydrops rate of uterus and vaginal tissues for pathological section in mice were observed and obtained at day 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 after inoculation. The results showed the infection rate in mice was related to the dosage of E2 and concentration of C. albicans blastoconidia. Additionally there was better cross-effect between the two treated factors. The infection rate was about 80% on the day 4, and could reach 100% on the day 7 until the end of experiment after inoculated intravaginally in groups of E2I3, E2 0.025 mg/mouse injected hypodermically and inoculated intravaginally with 5 x 10(4) C. albicans blastoconidia, and large amount of hyphae and blastoconidia could be observe in superficial layer tissue and canal of vaginal by PAS. From the results in our experiment it was concluded that E2I3 was the optima construction condition in kunming mice.

The traditional view that vitamin D is mainly involved in bone metabolism and calcium and phosphorus homeostasis,and bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis related.However,some recent studies have shown that vitamin D plays a key role in obstetrics and gynecology diseases,particularly,endometriosis and ovarian cancer,preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in polycystic ovary syndrome influence (PCOS).Advances in vitamin D article and on the relationship between gynecological and obstetrical diseases were reviewed.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of lung cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM). Methods:The clinical data of 91 lung cancer patients with ALNM who were treated in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from January 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The relevance of the sites of the tumor site, local lymph node, and ax-illary lymph node was checked by contingency table. Survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by a log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards model was applied to analyze the prognostic factors. Results:The proportion of lung cancer pa-tients with ALNM was 0.63%, and the patients were often presented with adenocarcinoma, peripheral tumor type, pleura invasion with pleural effusion, or chest wall invasion. A relationship between tumor sites, local lymph node sites, and axillary lymph node sites was observed. The median survival time of lung cancer patients with ALNM was 19.02 months, and the two-year survival rate is 62.64%. Patients identified with ALNM at the initial diagnosis reported poor prognosis (P=0.002). Cox regression analysis showed that the relative risk of death in patients with ALNM at initial diagnosis was elevated 2.18 times (95%CI:1.330?3.572, P=0.003). Conclu-sion:ALNM in lung cancer is rare, and it may involve through direct chest wall invasion and spread from supraclavicular and mediasti-nal lymph node metastasis or systemic origin. Patients detected with ALNM at the initial diagnosis indicated poor prognosis.
