For treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia, we fabricated a device, i.e. so called "filling type pediatric hernia sac", which treats the problem from the abdominal cavity, through the abdominal and is a self-adaptive closer, using synthetic material. The device includes filling rack, self-adaptive umbrella support bar, bottom piece, outside pulling line and device fixing lines. The filling rack is composed of 2 concentric circles of 3.0 cm diameter with peripherally fixed together and can be pulled into the shapes of a ball or an olive. The supporting bar is structured of 3 pieces with 0.5 cm wide, 4.0 cm long, cross-fixed on top of the filling rack. The bottom piece is in a circular structure with a diameter of 3.0 cm, and it is connected to the filling rack bottom. Adjust positioning stay outside the fixed on the top of the device are connected at one end, and the other end free through filling the top frame connected with the bottom slice of central fixation. By using this device, we treated 37 pediatric inguinal hernia cases with 38 side-inguinal hernia successfully. The mean duration of post-operation follow-ups was 14.6 ± 5.89 months, without hernia recurrence, obvious scar and hard sections of inguinal region. This device could provide a convenient, safe and effective plugging technology for children's pediatric hernia.

Ventilatory volumes and respiratory flow rate during quiet and rapid respiration were measured in 480 healthy pilots of our Air Force. The mean values were: VE, 9.58?1.74 1/min; MVV, 154.69?19.48 l/min; PIFR, 23.56?4.60 l/min; and FPIFR, 182.388?29.95 l/min.Regression analysis showed that they correlated well with each other as well as with body surface area (BSA), age, sitting height etc. The regression. formulae are Y = 2.97398 + 3.74173X2 for VE, Y = 103.921-0.839956X1 + 44.4811X2 for MVV, Y = 20.2761+0.735782X4 for PIFR, and Y = 99.9757-0.69924X1+ 59.7506X2 for FPIFR, where X1 stands for age, X2 for BSA, and X4 for vital capacity.The above results should provide a valuable physiological basis for designing aircraft oxygen equipment,for laying down the standard of on-board oxygen supply, and for pulmonary functional tests in pilots.

Objective　To study the cochlea microvasculature permeability changes of the inner ear in guinea pigs, so as to clarify the possible role of the cochlea microvasculature permeability changes in the ischemic injury of inner ears. Methods　Modified method of Evans blue fluorescence was used to observe the changes of permeability of the cochlea microvasculature in the animal model of cochlea microcirculatory disorders which was caused by photochemical reaction. CAPN1 threshold was recorded by using Madsen 2 250 to study the hearing loss. Results　The amounts of Evens blue crossing the cochlea microvasculature were (1.709±0.769) and (2.849 ±0.653) μg/per animal 2 and 4 h after the development of cochlea microcirculatory disorder in guinea pigs, respectively (P<0.01); and their hearing loss were （24.44 ±7.27） and （38.33±7.91）dBpeSPL in 2 and 4 h, respectively (P<0.01)． Conclusion　The permeability of the cochlea microvasculature increases along with the duration of cochlea microcirculatory disorder occur and the increase of cochlea microvasculature permeability might be one of the important mechanisms inducing cochlear ischemic lesions.

Allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, allergic der-matitis, allergic rhinitis, are polygenic diseases, involving the interaction between the environment, genes and immunity. In the past few decades, the incidence rate of allergic diseases in-creased predominantly and influenced the quality of people's lives seriously, so looking for new targets for the prevention and treat-ment of allergic diseases and drugs with less adverse reaction be-comes a hot topic for researchers. MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that mediate nega-tively posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression by targe-ting specific mRNA sequences to inhibit the translation of mR-NAs. They are widely involved in the biological processes of cell differentiation, immune response and tumor development. The study shows that miRNAs can control the occurrence and devel-opment of allergic diseases. Studying the regulatory role of miR-NAs in allergic diseases has important implications for exploring the immunopathological mechanisms and discovering new thera-peutic targets of drugs.
