Objective:To investigate prevalent aeroallergens in ChongQing and their sensitization risk factors in children with allergic diseases,especially asthma.Methods:Skin prick tests with 13 standardized aeroallergens and questionnaires were used.A total of 298 patients,aged between 4~15 years and were diagnosed with allergic asthma and or allergic rhinitis,were investigated.Results:The total positive rate of allergen was 84.9%(253/298).The prevalence of aeroallergens were following:the first was house dust mite,cockroach followed,the third one was cat dander;the positive family history of asthma was 69.6%(116/230),asthma and rhinitis accounted for 67.2%(78/116)。Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that house dust mite was an independent risk factors for asthma(odds ratio Value(OR):2.602,95%CI:1.672～7.488),air conditioning had strong relationship with it(OR:1.659,95%CI:1.139～5.942).Conclusion:House dust mite is the major allergen of allergic diseases,especially asthma in ChongQing.Air conditioning is one of important risk factors for house dust mite sensitization.

Objective:To prepare Pingwei dispersible tablets and establish a method for the determination of atractylodin. Meth-ods:HPLC was performed on a Kromasil C18 column(250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm)using methanol-water(75:25)as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was at 340nm. The column temperature was 30℃ and the injection volume was 10 μl. Results:The optimized formula of the tablets was as follows:the proportion of inner disintegrant microcrystalline cellulose,out-side disintegrant carboxymethyl cellulose sodium and HPMC was 40%,9% and 2%,respectively. The adhesive was 2% HPMC in 70% ethanol,and 1. 5% magnesium stearate was used as the lubricant. The linear range of atractylodin was 0. 100 6-0. 503 0 μg(r=0. 999 9),and the average recovery was 99. 3%(RSD=0. 9%,n=6). Conclusion:The formula and the preparation process of the tablets are reasonable and the content determination method is simple,accurate and specific,which can be used in the quality control of Pingwei dispersible tablets.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the hydrolysis of the triglyceride core of circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.LPL can not only affect the lipoprotein level,but also play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis.LPL gene polymorphisms may affect LPL activity,and therefore have both pro-and anti-atherogenic effects.This article reviews the relationship between LPL gene polymorphism and atherosclerosis.

Objective To study the influence of serum containing Ziqi Ruangan Pill on inhibitory effect of alcohol LO2 and to investigate the regulation on apoptosis related genes and the protective mechanism for LO2. Methods Rabbit sera saline containing Ziqi Ruangan Pill was prepared. The apoptotic LO2 model was established by being cultured with alcohol. The effect of serum on the model was detected by MTT method. Identification of apoptosis was carried out using flow cytometry and Hoechst3325 fluorescent staining. The expression of apoptotic inducing gene,casepase3 and NF-?B was detected by Real-time RT PCR and Western-Blot. Results The serum containing Ziqi Ruangan Pill could regulate the expression of the casepase3,NF-?B and reduce the apoptosis. Conclusion Ziqi Ruangan Pill can protect the LO2 by regulating the expression of apoptosis stimulative gene casepase3 and NF-?B.

Posterior capsule opacification(PCO) is a common postoperative complication of cataract surgery.PCO is usually caused by the proliferation,migration,epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT),collagen deposition,and lens fiber regeneration of residual lens epithelial cells(LECs).Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) has been proposed as the most important factor driving the trans-differentiation and pathologic fibrosis of LECs.A variety of studies have elucidated that the Smad signaling pathway plays a critical role in the transduction of TGF-β signal.However,there are still other signaling pathways which may be activated downstream by TGF-β,including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt(PI3 K/Akt),Rho,Wnt and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways.This review highlights recent advances in the study of the signaling pathway of TGF-β in the pathological process of PCO.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical features, complications, and prognosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the aged. Methods132 old cases were analyzed retrospectively. Results56.8% of patients complained headache as the main symptoms, 43.2% with dizziness or vertigo, 40.1% with disturbance of consciousness, 70.5% with negative of meningeal irritation sign. The most common cause is the aneurysm. The mortality was more in those complicated with hypertension. ConclusionSAH in the old characterized variable clinical manifestations, no special signs, half of them with good prognosis.

The changes of immune system following stroke mainly includes the local inflammatory responses of brain tissue and the systemic immunological changes, The former may exacerbate brain damage following stroke, the latter may increase the susceptibility to infection, and thus impact on brain function recovery and prognosis. Stroke interferes with the normal balance between the nervous system and the immune system, and its mechanism remains unclear. This article reviews the stroke-indnced immunological alterations and their mechanisms,as well as the corresponding treatment strategies in clinical practice.

Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is a seldom disease in clinical practice. Its most common clinical manifestations are hearing loss and ataxia. It is a hemosiderin deposition in the surface of the brain and spinal cord after chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging can make the diagnosis. However, further research and clinical verification are needed.

The patients with stroke is often accompanied by malnutrition, its causes include eating less, increased catabolism, and intestinal dysfunction, etc. Malnutrition can not only aggravate the extent of brain damage in patients with stroke, but also increase the incidence of complications, and thus affecting the course and prognosis of stroke. Therefore, correct evaluation of the nutritional status in stroke patients, choosing the appropriate nutrient timing and nutritional support methods have important significance. Among a variety of nutritional assessment methods, the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment can quickly identify malnutrition in stroke patients. Early enteral nutrition support, including oral nutritional supplements, nasogastric tube feeding and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, can significantly improve the prognosis in stroke patients. Among them, nasogastric tube feeding is the first choice for nutritional support in stroke patients.
