Objective:To study the relationship of retaining time of tympanic ventilation tube and aural complications. Method:Three-hundred-five patients(659 ears)with otitis media with effusion(OME)received tympanostomy tube insertion. The tube were removed 6-36 months after tube insertion. Then aural complications were recorded in different tube retaining time, followed with a statistic analysis. Result: Fifty-five tubes of 29 patients were removed at 1-6 months after tube insertion, with spontaneous extrusion 3.4%, blocked tube 10. 3%, intrusion into the middle ear O, granulation 'tissue O, cholesteatoma O, otorrhea 6.9%, perforation O. One hundred and ninty tubes of 96 patients were removed at 6-12 months after tube insertion,with spontaneous extrusion 7. 3%,blocked tube 15.6%, intrusion into the middle ear 1%, granulation tissue O, cholesteatoma O, otorrhea 5.2%,perforation O. Three huandred and eight tubes of 156 patients were removed at 12-24 months after tube insertion, with spontaneous extrusion 9%,blocked tube 12.8% ,intrusion into the middle ear 1.3%,granulation tissue 1.9% ,cholesteatoma 0.6%,otorrhea 2.5%,perforation was O. One hundred and sixty one tubes of 83 patients were removed at 24-36 months after tube insertion, with spontaneous extrusion 36.1%, blocked tube 53%, intrusion into the middle ear 6%, granulation tissue 3. 6%, cholesteatoma 2.4%, otorrhea 2.4%, perforation 2.4%. Conclusion:The occurrence of complication didn't increase with time going by when the ventilation tube retained less than two years. However, when the ventilation tube retained more than two years, the occurrence of spontaneous extrusion and blocked tube increased obviously.

Objctive To search for the therapeutic method of children's nephrotic syndrome.Methods Sixty-six cases oe children's nephrotic syndrome were randomly divided into 2 groups,impulsion group (34 cases) and control group (32 cases). Dexamethasone (1．5~3 )/mg (kg?d) added into (100~150)ml 10%GS solution, intravenous drip in impulsion group, one time a day, totat 3 days, the fourth day stoped. The fifth day started again and used one time evcry two days, total 6 times. Prednisone(1．5~3)mg/(kg?d) were taken next day and total 4 weeks, then grandually decreased the dose. Only prodnisone was used in control group, the method and dose were the same as impulsion group.Results Complete remission. partial remission inefficacy ere 23, 7 and 4 cases respectiye1y in impulsion group and 22, 5 and 5 cases respectively in control group, the effective rates of the 2 group are 88．23%and 84．38% (P＞0．05). The times of state of illness stabilization are respectively 11．3?7．2 and 10．48?6．34 months in the 2 groups. The side effect of impulsion group is bigger than that of control group.Conclusion Children's primary nephrotic syndrome should be treated for 8 weeks by routine hormone induction therapy, if no remission, impulsion therapy could be used.

Objective To investigate the plantar pressure distribution of the injuried limbs and the healthy side after the operation for Pilon fracture. Methods 31 patients with Pilon fractures were tested with Footscan USB2 system, including the maximum force and impulse of 10 zones of the feet 1 year after surgery. Results Compared with the contralateral feet, the maximum force reduced under the the first metatarsal bone, medial heel, and lateral heel (P<0.05), and it increased under the fourth, and fifth metatarsal bone (P<0.05) of the injured feet. The impulse reduced under the the first metatarsal bone, medial heel, and lateral heel (P<0.05), and increased under the fifth metatarsal bone and midfoot (P<0.05). Conclusion The load decreased on the heel and medial forefoot, and increased on the lateral forefoot of the injured limbs after Pilon fracture, while the lateral forefoot and midfoot tend to be injured.

Objective To study the relationship between ABO hemolytic disease of newborn and maternal antibody. Methods The titer of blood group antibody in 122 mothers of O blood group during prenatal diagnosis and blood group serology, bilirubin and hemoglobin level of newborn infants were tested with routine methods. The relationship between ABO hemolytic disease of newborn and the titer of blood group antibody was studied. Results The titer of blood group antibody was remarkably related with ABO hemolytic disease of newborn (P

Objective: To study the preventive actions of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide(GLP) against kidney damage induced by cisplatin. Methods : Female Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal saline(NS) group, cisplatin(CDDP) group, GLP group, CDDP+GLP group. The changes of Scr, BUN, MDA, SOD were measured and renal structure was observed after 5 days by injecting drugs. Results : The contents of serum Scr and BUN of CDDP group were significantly highter than that of NS group. The activity of RBC SOD reduced and the contents of serum MDA increased. The contents of renocortical tissue MDA increased and the activity of SOD declined in renocortical tissue. The contents of serum Scr and BUN of GLP+CDDP group were significantly lower than that of CDDP group. The activity of RBC SOD increased and the contents of serum MDA declined. The concents of renocortical tissue MDA declined and the activity of SOD increased in renocortical tissue. The pathological slice indicated that renal structure was significantly improved. Conclusion : GLP may reduce cisplatin nephrotoxicity and its mechanism may be correlative with that GLP inhibited the blood and renocortical tissue lipid peroxidation increasing.

Objective To determine the relationship between zinc and nutritional status or immunity in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Methods Forty-five stable CAPD patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis were enrolled in this study. The dietary zinc intake and serum zinc levels were investigated, and the results were compared with the gender- and age-matched healthy populations (n = 45). The relationship between dietary zinc intake and serum zinc levels and subjective global assessment (SGA) score, blood cell counts, serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), C-reactive protein (CRP),and lymphocyte subsets were analyzed. Results The percentages of inadequate dietary zinc intake (P= 0. 007)and low blood zinc (P = 0. 036) were significantly higher in CAPD patients than in healthy group. CD8 levels were significantly lower (P = 0. 000) while CD4/CD8 ratio was significantly higher (P = 0. 033) in CAPD patients than in healthy group. In CAPD patients, correlation analysis showed that dietary zinc intake was significantly correlated with serum prealbumin levels (r = 0. 577, P = 0. 000), but was negatively correlated with SGA score (r = - 0.354,P = 0. 015) and CRP (r = - 0.354, P = 0. 015); however, it was not significantly correlated with lymphocyte subsets and CD4/CD8 ratio. Serum zinc level was significantly positively correlated with hemoglobin (r= 0. 411, P=0.005), hematocrit (r=0.345, P=0.023), WBC (r=0.318, P=0.035), SGA score (r=0.417, P=0. 005), and CRP (r=0.342, P = 0. 027), but was not significantly correlated with lymphocyte subsets and CD4/CD8 ratio. Conclusions Zinc deficiency is common among patients with CAPD. Adequate dietary zinc intake can facilitate protein synthesis and improve the overall nutritional status. High serum zinc concentrations are beneficial for the synthesis of hemoglobin and the improvement of anemia.

The enzymatic degumming of ramie bast fibers is a kind of method with high performance, superior quality, free from pollution that directly makes use of the extra cellular enzyme or zymin produced in the fermentation process of microorganisms to degrade the gum. So far, many investigations regarding this aspect have been conducted at home and abroad, and screened various strains including aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria. Comparison with the chemical degumming, the enzymatic degumming shows the advantage of improving the quality of refined dried-ramie, significantly lowering the pollution of the environment, and isone of the main development directions in the future. At the same time, if the degumming technology is extensively applied into industrialization production, the dosage of enzymes will prodigiously increase, which will promote the development of the industry on enzymes.
