OBJECTIVE: To investigate method established and system evaluated in the model of SD rat with AR. METHOD: To establish AR model of SD rats by ovalbumin (OVA), 20 cases of SD rats were randomly divided into two groups, namely control group (10 cases) and AR group (10 cases). AR models were sensitized and challenged by OVA. Control group were used with normal saline instead of OVA. The score of pathology and praxiology were observed when the SD rats in AR group appeared typical symptom of allergic rhinitis, and levels of IL-4, IFN-γ, IgE in the serum were examined by ELISA. According to the behavioral score, nasal histology and content of IL-4, IFN-γ, IgE of serum, Rat allergic rhinitis model were judged successfully established or not. RESULT: Behavioral scores were significantly increased in OVA-challenged rats compared with the control group, P<0.05. Nasal epithelial goblet cells, eosinophils and lymphocytes in nasal mucosa in the AR rats exhibited obvious increase relative to the control group. IL-4, IgE levels in the AR rat exhibited obvious increase relative to control group while INF-γ levels exhibited obvious reduction (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The allergic rhinitis models in SD rat by OVA were successfully established. The levels of IgE, INF-γ and IL-4 in Serum can be used as objective evaluation of animal models of allergic rhinitis established successfully or not.

Objective:To study the possible therapeutic mechanisms of triptergium wilfordi in treating glomerulonephritis.Methods:Thirty seven patients with IgA nephropathy were detected urine mononeuclear cells densities with flow cytometry during taking triptergium wilfordi tablets,30 healthy people were used as normal control.Results:The patients urine CD3 +?CD4 +?CD8 +?CD14 + and CD44 + cells densities were much higher than normal control's,but obviously decreased after triptergium wilfordi treatment.CD4/CD8 ratio was much lower in patients than in normal control.It increased markedly after treatment.Patients who reached remission initially had a lower CD4 + cell percentage and higher CD14 + cells percentage than those showed no response to triptergium wilfordi treatment.Conclusion:Triptergium wilfordi could modulate kidney immune cell function and adhesive molecule CD44 expression.Its effects were associated with renal immunity.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation of tonsil in the treatment of children obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods From January 2003 to January 2006,30 patients,confirmed OSAHS by polysomnography(PSG),aging from 3 to 10 years(mean:5.8 years)were treated by temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation of tonsil,in which 21 cases with adenoidal hypertrophy were treated with adenoidectomy,and 3 of the 21 cases with secretory otitis media received auripuncture.Results Six months after the operation,the symptom of snoring and mouth breathing in all patients disappeared,tonsillar hypertrophy was kept in Ⅰ or Ⅱ grade,no pharynx stenosis was detected,and hearing was recovered to normal.After 1 year,20 cases were monitored with PSG,of which 10 cases were cured,8 cases showed apparent efficacy and 2 cases showed efficacy.Conclusions The temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation of tonsil is an effective and safe technique in the treatment of children OSAHS.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of 3% hypertonic saline with 20% mannitol in the treatment of acute brain edema in children.Methods Twenty children with acute brain edema were randomly divided into hypertonic saline(HS) group and mannitol group.HS group and mannitol group were given 3% HS solution or 20% mannitol respectively.Main outcome measurements included intracranial pressure(ICP),mean arterial pressure(MAP),central venous pressure(CVP),cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP),serum electrolytes,plasma osmolality,renal function and urine volume.Results Both 3% HS and 20% mannitol were effective in reducing ICP(P ＜0.05).Therapeutic effect lasted(4.5±1.2) h in HS group and(3.2±1.5) h in mannitoi group.3% HS had a longer duration of action than marmitol(P＜0.05).At the time point of 2 hours after treatment,MAP and CPP of HS group increased more than those of mannitol group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both 3% HS and 20% mannitol could rapidly decrease ICP.3% HS has a longer duration of action in reducing ICP than 20% mannitol.3% HS is more effective in stabilizing circulation and improving CPP than 20% mannitol.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical features and treatments of contact granuloma of larynx. METHOD: To find the best treatments by analyzing the clinical features, related causes and the treatments of the 13 contact granuloma of larynx cases, which have complete data, of our department from Jan 2005 to Dec 2012, also by comparing the effect of conservative treatment and operation treatment. RESULT: Contact granuloma of larynx is more common in men (84.6%). The main causes are gastro esophageal reflux, chronic cough, habitual hawk and endotracheal intubation disease. However, a big part (38.4%) gets the disease without any other disease history. The main clinical feature of the disease includes: sensation of foreign matter in throat, easy to get exhausted when talking and voice hoarse, but also 30.7% without any feature in throat. Among the 13 cases, 6 were treated by operation and the first recurrence was 66.6%. The cure rate was 50% after one or two operations. The other 7 were treated in conservative way, including anti- Gastro esophageal reflux, avoiding excessive talking, reducing habitual hawk ,or without any medical treatment. The cure rate was 57.1%. The total cure rate was 53.8%. However, it is nonsense to comparing the two different treatments (Chi2 = 0.066, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION There is still no standard treatment for contact granuloma of larynx and the effect is not good enough. The treatment should be depending on individual case. Conservative treatment is the first choice. However, operation should be considered if the patient has obviously hoarse and his granuloma is too large to breathe well.

Studies have shown that cerebral small vessel diseases can affect the mechanisms such as neural circuits,local cerebral blood flow changes,and neuroendocrine changes through brain damage,causing sleep disorders,and poststroke depression and brain atrophy caused by cerebral small vessel diseases may be associated with sleep disorders.In return,sleep disorders can damage the blood-brain barrier and cerebrovascular autoregulation function,and increase the risk of the occurrence of cerebrovascular disease.Both of them are interrehted,reciprocal causation,and commonly affect the prognosis and quality of life in patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of carvedilol on blood pressure in hypertension patients and vascular endothelial function. METHODS: 100 inpatients with primary hypertension were collected from our hospital from Jan. 2008 to Jan. 2010 and randomly divided into treatment group and control group(n=50). Treatment group were given initial oral dose of carvedilol tablets 6.25 mg twice a day for 7～14 days if it was tolerated; the dose of carvedilol tablets increased to 12.5 mg or 25 mg twice a day according to blood pressure at trough concentration if it was necessary. Control group were given carvedilol tablets 6.25 mg twice a day if it was tolerated. After 1 week, control group received double dose of metoprolol with maximum dose of carvedilol of 50 mg. The treatment course was 3 months. The contents of NO and ET in serum of 2 groups were detected. Antihypertensive effect and effects of carvedilol on vascular endothelial dilatation and systolic function were observed and compared between 2 groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both groups were decreased significantly(P
