OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical manifestation and the reasons of misdiagnosis of allergic rhinitis patients with postnasal drip. METHODS The clinical data of 3 patients with allergic rhinitis who had the symptom of postnasal dr ip and were mi sdiagnosed were s tudied. RESULTS The three patients to be misdiagnosed as chronic sinusitis treated by antibiotics drugs, post cold cough syndrome without any treatment, and chronic rhinitis treated with partial inferior turbinectomy. The 3 patients were diagnosed allergic rhinitis and cured with budesonide nasal spray. CONCLUSION The reasons of misdiagnosis are listed as follows. 1. The clinic doctors don't listen to the patient's complaint comprehensively and get incorrect information. 2. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are not typical. 3. Postnasal drip is the main complaint and cause irritable cough, pharyngeal itching, globus. 4. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are covered by other simultaneous diseases.

The stress fracture is often resulted from forced march, heel-and-toe walking race, trudge over a longdistance etc. The stress fracture in metatarsal bone is very common. After analysis of bearing-force onmetatarsal bone, the feet are simplified as weight-bearing-cantilever beam structure, while the metatarsalbone as lever units which support the bending cantilever. 16 metatarsal bones were taken from freshcadavers of normal Chinese adults. TYPE 2H cantilever stress teeting machine was used for the experiment.This study analyzes the injury mechanism of stress fracture theoretically, the defines limit of stress fractureof the metatarsal bone, and makes biomechanical analysis for the fracture types. This experiment providesthe data and materials for prevention and diagnosis of stress fracture and the possibility of methods andpaths for stress fracture experiment of the biomaterials.

HIC1 (hypermethylated in cancer 1) encodes a transcriptional repressor,and extensively resides in various kinds of normal tissue.HIC1 gene is located in chromosome 17p13.3,in which loss of heterozygote or super-methylation is frequently found in a variety of human cancers.As a new tumor marker,HIC1 has been confirmed down-regulated in a wide variety of solid cancers because of HIC1 promoter hypermethylation,and may be associated with tumor prognosis.As a tumor suppressor,HIC1 participates in the development of tumor process through various ways,and is involved in cell proliferation,tumour growth,and angiogenesis.Therefore,the abnormal hypermethylation or the loss of expression of HIC1 in tumor cells or abnormal function could be one of the important mechanisms of tumor development,and may become a new potential therapeutic targets for cancer.

Objective The relationship between XbaI polymorphism of ApoB gene and cerebral infarction(CI)among Chinese population was assessed by Meta-analysis.Methods All related case-control studies were collected from all publications,the relevant studies were identified after eliminating those poor-qualified studies.Meta-analysis was conducted for investigating heterogeneity among individual studies,and summarizing the effects across studies.Results The combined data statistics revealed the frequencies of the X-X+/X+X+ genotypes showed no statistically difference(Z=1.72,P=0.08).Through the subgroup analysis,it was obviously increase the risk of CI in Chinese northern population(OR=2.66,95%CI:1.67~4.24),but no statistically difference in Chinese southern population(OR=1.26,95%CI:0.90~1.77).Conclusions ApoB gene XbaI polymorphism may be significantly associated with susceptibility of CI in Chinese northern population,but not a definite risk for Chinese southern population.

BACKGROUND:The age, complication, injury to operation time, and pain level are important factors that affect patients with postoperative mortality, but many scholars disagree. Factors affecting death in elderly patients after femoral head replacement stil need further study. OBJECTIVE:To observe factors related to the survival status of elderly patients within 1 year after receiving femoral head replacement. METHODS:A total of 96 elderly patients receiving femoral head replacement at Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2011 to January 2014 were selected. On admission, patients’ age, sex, time from injury to operation, injury to admission time, pain classification, admission hemoglobin, serum albumin content of admission, admission lymphocyte count, and the amount of blood transfusion and preoperative complications were recorded. Fisher test was used to analyze the factors affecting survival status within 1 year after replacement in patients with femoral head replacement using one-way analysis of variance. Multivariate Cox test was utilized to perform multi-factor analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The injury to hospital time was > 5 days. Pain classification was grades III and IV. The hemoglobin content was < 120 g/L on admission. The volume of blood transfusion was > 1 000 mL. Serum albumin content was < 35 g/L, which was associated with the increased mortality (P < 0.05). The mortality was significantly higher in patients with more than 86 years old than in patients with 70-85 years old (P < 0.05). The mortality of patients with the time from injury to operation > 7 days was significantly higher than patients with the time from injury to operation < 7 days (P < 0.05). The serum albumin content < 35 g/L and grades III and IV of ASA classification were factors related to patient’s death (P < 0.05). Results confirm that the risk factors for survival status within 1 year of femoral head replacement contain intraoperative volume of blood transfusion, admission to operation time, hemoglobin content, and grading of pain.

Objective To provide imaging anatomy basis for percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( PCNL) by measuring relative displacement and changes in anatomical position of kidney and colon under the prone and low-oblique supine positions.Methods Forty-six patients scheduled for PCNL underwent 64-slice spiral CT scan under the prone and low-arch oblique supine position before the PCNL.The horizontal distance of kidney and colon,the distance from colon and analog puncturing line,the distance between the kidney and colon were measured and compared between the 2 positions.Results The distance from colon and analog puncturing line under the low-oblique supine and prone positions were as follows,the left (26.56 ±15.36) mm versus (12.25 ±13.16) mm (t=3.527,P<0.05),the right (25.85 ±14.26) mm versus (13.57 ± 12.53) mm (t=3.234,P<0.05).The differences of the rest distances between the 2 positions were not significant ( P>0.05).Conclusions The distance between colon and analog puncturing line increases in the low-arch oblique supine position,because the colon shifts to the ventral.The PCNL in low-arch oblique supine position may reduce the incidence of colon injury,and improve surgical safety.
