Allergic rhinitis is familiar in clinic,in recent years the incidence has the trend of increase annually and the modern medicine has no effective cure at present.How to seek a permanent solution to the problem? Chinese medical constitution has influence on the incidence,syndrome differentiation,treatment and prognosis of allergic rhinitis.It is necessary and possible to prevent it according to Chinese medical constitution.The constitution is the internal and crucial factor of allergic reaction.The external etiologic factors work through the internal etiologic factors,making people get ill through the imbalance of yin-yang.Therefore,treating allergic rhinitis on the basis of Chinese medical constitution has a positive effect on prevention,correct diagnosis and treatment,controlling the progress and improving the prognosis.

Objective To determine the therapeutic effect of IgA nephropathy treated with tonsillectomy, and investigate the indication and contraindication. Methods Thirty-five IgA nephropathy patients, who were diagnosed by renal biopsy treated with tonsillectomy, were in operation group. Twenty-four hours urine protein, one hour urine erythrocyte and serum creatine were detected before the operation, one week, two weeks, four weeks, six months after the operation. Compared with 40 IgA nephropathy patients, who were treated with medicine (control group). Results The effective power in operation group was 71.4% and in control group was 52.5%. There was significant difference between two groups. Conclusion Tonsillectomy is more effective in IgA nephropathy with chronic tonsillitis, especially when renal corpuscle is slightly impaired, conversely, when renal function is severely damaged, it belongs to surgical contraindication.

In complicated vitreoretinal surgery,vitreous substitutes play a major role in maintaining intraocular pressure.Air,expansion gases,perfluorocarbons liquid,and silicone oil are frequently used in modern vitreoretinal surgery.Long-term vitreous substitute has been attempted with collagen,hyaluronic acid,natural hydrogel polymers and so on.However,an ideal vitreous substitute is being requested for a long time.This review focused on the currently available vitreous substitutes,as well as those in the experimental phase.These compounds were classified based on their functionality,composition,and properties.The clinical use,advantages,and shortcomings of the various substitutes were discussed.Finally,the criteria for an ideal vitreous substitute was defined.

Objective To study the mutagenicity of water of man-made lake from Wujiang River in Jinhua. Methods The mutagenicities of water samples collected from 7 representative sampling points in man-made lake in Wujiang River were detected with micronucleus test in vicia faba root tip cells in Oct. 2000 and Oct. 2001 in Jinhua, Zhejiang. Results All water samples showed significantly higher frequencies of micronucleus with a range of 8.06‰～27.79‰ compared with 5.04‰ of negative control (P

Objective To investigate the distribution and duration of abnormal blood glucose level in SGA infants. Methods Blood glucose level was systemicly monitored in 37 SGA infants for (133?115) h(range 16～524 h, median 93 h), who were non NICU hospitalized and no feeding or IV infusion when admitted at (2 6?2 4) h (range 0.25~10.0 h, median 2.0 h) of age. Results During monitoring period, there was hypoglycemia in 19 cases (51%),hyperglycemia in 2 cases (5%), and both hypo and hyperglycemia in 3 cases (8%). The median of last time abnormal glucose level appeared was 10 hr after birth, its 95% confidence interval was 5~55hr after birth. Multiple regression analysis shown delivery models bad relationship with glucose level at admition (p= 0.013). The blood glucose level was higher in vaginal delivery babies. The lower the birth weight (BW)was, the longer the duration of abnormal glucose level lasted ( O

BACKGROUND: Bilateral pedicle screw fixation combined with intervertebral decompression and fusion is a classic surgical approach in treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases, but it can cause ligament and other soft tissue damage of lumbar spine and degeneration of the adjacent segments. While translaminar facet screw fixation has its unique advantages.OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacy of unilateral pedicle screw fixation combined with translaminar facet screw fixation and bilateral pedicle screw fixation for lower lumbar degenerative diseases.METHODS: Forty-six patients with single-level lower lumbar degenerative disease were enrolled, and were then treated with bilateral pedicle screw fixation combined with intervertebral fusion (group A, n=24) or unilateral pedicle screw along with translaminar facet screw fixation and intervertebral fusion (group B, n=22). Afterwards, the clinical indexes and efficacy were compared between two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) All operations were performed successfully. The length of incision, operation time,intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume and cost of hospitalization in the group B were significantly superior to those in the group A (P < 0.05). (2) There was no significant difference in the rate of fusion between two groups (P > 0.05). (3) The visual analogue scale and Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores in both groups at 1 week,3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively were significantly improved compared with baseline (P < 0.05), but the scores had no significant differences between two groups (P > 0.05). (4) To conclude, unilateral pedicle screw fixation combined with translaminar facet screw fixation and bilateral pedicle screw fixation both exhibit satisfactory treatment outcomes,while the former holds little trauma, good stability, high fusion rate and less cost, which is a better choice for lower lumbar degenerative diseases.

The vulnerable carotid atherosclerosis plaque is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke.However,there are no objective diagnostic criteria for the vulnerability of carotid atherosclerosis plaque in clinical practice now.This article reviews the progress in the diagnosis of vulnerable plaque from the aspects of ultrasound,CT,MRL cerebral angiography,and biochemical indexes.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. The early diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer is very important. Detection of serum tumor markers as a simple,non-invasive and easily acceptable method has great clinical application value. This article reviewed the advances in study on serum gastric cancer markers.

Objective Study for the security,effectiveness and the related recurrence factors of the elderly primary chronic gouty arthritis with 3 different therapies.Methods Eighty-seven patients in the Huzhou Third Hospital from 2004.3 to 2005.4 with primary chronic gouty arthritis were randomized into 3 groups for a 12-month-observation:31 in group A were given the general therapies;32 in group B and 24 in group C were given the hydroxychloroqine and colchicine respectively besides the general therapy.Results The average of acute attack after treatment in the 3 groups was lower than those before treatment.The levels of blood uric acid decreased significantly(P
