Objective To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory granuloma in central nervous system(CNS)to provide reference for clinic.Methods Retrospective data included 8 patients with CNS inflammatory granuloma in Department of Neurosurgery,Shanxi People's Hospital,2012 -2015.We analyzed the imaging features, postoperative symptoms,blood and cerebrospinal fluid changes and prognosis.Results 8 cases all received surgical treatment.All the symptoms were improved,and the CT showed that the lesions were disappeared.All the patients had recovered to normal life and work.Conclusion The diagnosis of CNS inflammatory granuloma is difficult.Clinical manifestations are lack of specificity.The blood and cerebrospinal fluid laboratory examination have no abnormal changes.CT and MRI are the main diagnostic methods.Postoperative pathology is the gold standard for diagnosis.The large lesion,frequent episodes of epilepsy,severe neurological deficits and possibility of brain tumor all should be treated by surgery.

Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of non-irrigation and irrigation in the surgical approach of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH),thus to provide reference for clinical treatment of CSDH.Methods Clinical data of 102 patients with CSDH were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different operation methods,the patients were divided into the non-irrigation group(52 cases) and the irrigation group(50 cases).The blood loss during the procedure,operative time,length of stay and postoperative complication rate between the two groups were compared,and the causes of postoperative complications were analyzed.Results The blood loss during the procedure,operative time and length of stay in the non-irrigation group were (6.73 ± 1.17) mL,(15.06 ± 2.64) min and (10.74 ± 2.20) d,respectively,which in the irrigation group were (19.52 ± 3.18) mL,(38.54 ± 6.95) min and (10.44 ± 2.07)d,respectively,there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the blood loss during the procedure and the operative time (t =-27.11,-22.72,all P ＜ 0.05),there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the length of stay (t =0.70,P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rates of postoperative complication in the non-irrigation group and irrigation group were 8.00％ and 7.69％,respectively,there was no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =0.003,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Each of the two methods has its own advantages and disadvantages in the treatment of CSDH.Compared with burr hole irrigation,burr hole non irrigation has the advantages of less blood loss and shorter operative time.However,burr hole non-irrigation is more likely to suffer serious complication.We should select suitable surgical approach by the specific circumstances of the patients.The causes of postoperative complications of CSDH are varied.In particular,there is an important relationship between the non-standard operation and postoperative complications.

Objective To detect the expression of the tryptase in the plasma,and study the meaning in brain traumatic patients.Methods There were two groups:the brain traumatic group(40 patients)and the control group (20 health people).The content of plasma tryptase was determined by fluorescence enzyme immunoassay..Results The level of plasma tryptase had no statistical significance in control group(2.97 ±1.05)μg/L compared with the brain traumatic group(3.03 ±1.39)μg/L,however there had statistical significance comparing with sever brain traumatic patients(3.84 ±0.52μg/L)(t =3.32,P <0.05).4 cases of death in patients with severe head injury group content of tryptase (5.85 ±1.05)μg/L,which was significantly higher than the group of 16 cases of injury in severe head injury after 2 months still alive with the content of serum tryptase (2.49 ±0.52)μg/L,the difference was statistically significant (t =8.13,P <0.01).Conclusion The plasma tryptase level in sever brain traumatic patients increased significantly,and might be of importance for treatment strategies and prognosis.

AlM: To monitor long - term changes of matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ) in human tears fluid after laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASlK) .
METHODS: Thirty - two myopia cases ( 64 eyes ) underwent uneventful LASlK were enrolled in the study. Tear fluid were collected and MMP-2 expression was analyzed by Western - bolt assay preoperatively and postoperatively on 15d, at 1, 3mo, and 1a.
RESULTS:LASlK increased the concentration of MMP-2 in human tear fluid. At 15d postoperatively, the magnitude of MMP-2 was 1. 4 times that of preoperative, thereafter subsided, but didn't return to preoperative level by 3mo ( P < 0. 05 ). Up to 1a after surgery, the concentration of MMP-2 almost recovered (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: MMP- 2 is significantly expressed in human tear fluid after LASlK, then subsided with time, but didn't return to preoperative level by 3mo and almost recovered up to 1a, indicating wound healing of LASlK would continue up at least 3mo after surgery and almost recovered 1a postoperatively.

Drugs are exogenous compounds for human bodies, and will be metabolized by many enzymes after administration. CYP450 enzyme, as a major metabolic enzyme, is an important phase I drug metabolizing enzyme. In human bodies, about 75% of drug metabolism is conducted by CYP450 enzymes, and CYP450 enzymes is the key factor for drug interactions between traditional Chinese medicine( TCM) -TCM, TCM-medicine and other drug combination. In order to make clear the interaction between metabolic enzymes and TCM metabolism, we generally chose the enzymatic activity as an evaluation index. That is to say, the enhancement or reduction of CYP450 enzyme activity was used to infer the inducing or inhibitory effect of active ingredients and extracts of traditional Chinese medicine on enzymes. At present, the common method for measuring metabolic enzyme activity is Cocktail probe drugs, and it is the key to select the suitable probe substrates. This is of great significance for study drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) process in organisms. The study focuses on the interaction between TCMs, active ingredients, herbal extracts, cocktail probe substrates as well as CYP450 enzymes, in order to guide future studies.

The aim of this study is to develop the Tripterygium glycosides nanoemulsion gels and investigate its pharmacodynamics. Oleic acid was used as oil phase, polyoxyethylene castor oil as surfaetant, and 1,2-propanediol as cosurfactant to screen the formula of Tripterygium glycoside nanoemulsion using the pseudo-temary phase diagrams. Then the nanoemulsion gels was prepared. The ICR mouse ears were sensitazated by 7% DNCB, and then were excited by 0.3% DNCB to stimulate the model of mouse chronic dermatitis and eczema. The concentrations of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-8 in mouse blood were determined by ELISA. The results showed that Tripterygium glycosides nanoemulsion gels could significantly inhibit the swelling of mouse ears(P < 0.01) and ameliorate the edama and erythema of model mouse ears skin. Also it could significantly decrease the expression of IFN-γ and IL-4 in model mouse blood. Tripterygium glycosides nanoemulsion gels had a good therapeutic effect on mouse model of dermatitis and eczema. It was expected to provide a new and long-acting exterernal preparation for the treatment of dermatitis and eczema.

Objective To discuss the pulmonary function change in infants with human bocavirus (HBoV) pneumonia or mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) and its clinical signiifcance. Methods One hundred and forty infants under 3 years old who were admitted due to pulmonary infection were recruited from January, 2013 to October, 2013. Among them, HBoV-DNA was detected in 64 cases, and MP-DNA was detected in 76 cases. Thirty eight normal age-matched infants were selected as controls. The shape of tidal breathing lfow-volume loops (TBFVLs) and change of every index were measured with a Pulmonary Testing System (Jaeger MasterScope). Results The ratio of time to peak tidal expiratory lfow (PTEF) to total expiratory time (TPTEF/TE), the ratio of VPTEF to expiratory volume (VPTEF/VE), tidal expiratory lfow at 25%of the remaining tidal volume (TEF25%) and the ratio of TEF25%to PTEF (25/PF) were signiifcantly decreased in infants with HBoV and MP infection as compared with healthy infants (P<0.05). However, there was no signiifcant difference of the above indices between infants with HBoV and MP infection (P>0.05). The shape of TBFVLs in infants with HBoV and MP pneumonia was changed and characterized by left-shifted PTEF and trough-like concave in descending limb. The PTEF was decreased in infants with pulmonary infection. Conclusions HBoV or MP infection results in impaired pulmonary function with manifestations of obstruction in small airway. The shape of TBFVLs in infants with HBoV and MP pneumonia is characterized by left-shifted PTEF and trough-like concave in descending limb.

The crude toxin was extracted from hypha and culture solution of Phyllosticta commelimecola through three different polarity solvent: benzinum, puncificatum ethyl acetate and chloroform.
