Objective To investigate the impact of health education and standard treatments on the life quality of asthmatic children.Methods We conducted clinic treatments of 110 cases of asthmatic children lasting for 6 months,which were divided into standard treatment and health education group with 60 cases and group without standard treatment and health education with 50 cases.We emphasized the education management on cases in experimental group,which strictly obeyed the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) to formulate classified treatments as well as regular follow-up.Control group received the same treatments as experimental group yet without emphasizing health education about asthma on parents,which was accompanied with irregular follow-up.We compared the before-treatment and after-treatment life-quality and lung functions of asthmatic children.Moreover,we used Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) to evaluate the before-treatment and after-treatment life quality of asthmatic children.Results After follow-up lasting for 6 months,the treatments of experiment group had obvious improvements (P ＜0.01).The improvements of peak expiratory flow (PEF) of lung function test and timed vital capacity of the first second (FEV1) of experimental group were also better than the improvements of these two metrics of control group (P ＜ 0.01).In addition,after 6 months,in both all dimensions of PAQLQ and total score,the differences between before and after treatment of experimental group were significant (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05) ; and the differences between experimental group and control group were also significant in both all dimensions of PAQLQ score (12.4 ±2.1) and total score comparing to the control group (8.1 ±2.3),and the differences are also significant (t =2.5,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Health education and standard treatments significantly improved the life quality of asthmatic children with a good compliance of treatment and a low recurrence rate,which is worth of popularizing.

OBJECTIVE:To study the adhibition of misoprostol combined with palace cavity attraction tube in the treatment of painless abortion after cesarean section. METHODS:214 patients who received painless abortion after cesarean section were ran-domly divided into group A(71 case),group B(71 case)and group C(72 case). After all patients were given conventional intrave-nous anesthesia,Group A was given misoprostol 0.6 mg for oral administration in preoperative 2 h. Group B was given Misoprostol tablet 0.2 mg abrasive powder put in posterior fornix in preoperative 3 h. Group C did not give any drugs. All the groups used dis-posable suction curettage tube. The efficacies of sedation and cervical dilatation,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,recovery time,dosage of propofol and incidences of complications and adverse reactions in the 3 groups were observed. RESULTS:The op-eration time,intraoperative blood loss in group A were lower than group B and lower than group C,the differences were statistical-ly significant(P<0.05);recovery time and dosage of propofol in group A were lower than group B and C,the differences were sta-tistically significant(P<0.05),howerer,there was no significant difference between group B and C(P>0.05). The total effective rates of sedation and cervical dilatation in group A and B were significantly higher than group C,and the difference was statistical-ly significant(P<0.05),however,there was no significant difference between group A and B(P>0.05). The incidence of compli-cations in group A was lower than group B and lower than group C,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among 3 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The efficien-cy and safety of misoprostol for oral administration or medicated vaginal suppository combined with palace cavity attraction tube in the treatment of painless abortion after cesarean section is similar,but oral administration can reduce the dosage of anesthetics,op-eration time and smaller intraoperative blood loss volume.

OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate the clinical symptoms, characterization of imaging technique and the effect of endonasal endoscopic surgery. METHOD: Following 38 cases of isolated sphenoid sinus disease patients, among whom 35 cases treated with nasal sinus CT (including 5 cases of MRI at the same time), 3 cases undergoing sinus MRI, 1 cases going through the CT cisternography. All patients underwent endoscopic sphenoid otomy, of which 33 cases underwent nasal olfactory cleft approach, 5 cases anterior ethmoid sinus and posterior ethmoid sinus approach (Messerklinger technology). RESULT: All patients were followed up for more than half a year, of which 34 were recoverd and 4 were improved. No obvious complications came up during or after endoscopic surgery. CONCLUSION Isolated sphenoid sinus disease clinical symptoms are not typicaland without specialty; nasal examination had no positive sign, only with headache as the chief neurological symptom, often difficult to diagnose at an early stage. The CT and MRI are the best methods for the diagnosis of isolated sphenoid sinusitis. The nasal endoscopic operation is the preferred method for treatment of this disease.

Objective To describe the clinical features of convulsive status epileptieus (CSE) in our hospital and to provide a basis for future CSE prevention and treatment. Methods Patients with CSE hospitalized from January 1996 to October 2007 were prospectively observed. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of prognosis. Results All 220 eases of CSE were prospeetively analyzed, a hundred and two patients(46.4%) originated from rural areas. The primary cause of CSE was central nervous system(CNS)infectian (72cases, 32.7%), followed by discontinuation or reduction of antiepileptie drugs (AEDs, 35 cases,15.5%). The median duration of CSE was 5 hours and median duration of seizures before treatment was 2 hours; both were longer in rural patients (7.0 and3.5 hours respectively) than in urban patients (3.0 and 2.0 hours, Z=-3.433,-1.558,both P<0.05). The fatality rate by the time of discharge was 15.9%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of CSE (χ2=20.941), a history of epilepsy (χ2=4.910), and respiratory depression (χ2=16.086) were independent predictors of CSE prognosis (allP<0.05) . Comparisons between these data of USA and Europe were made. Conclusions CSE occurs mostly in rural population and epilepsy patients. CNS infection and withdrawal or reduction of AEDs in patients with epilepsy were important triggers of CSE. Antiepileptic therapy for status epilepticus in China falls behind that in the European countries.

AIM: To investigate the effects of fluvas-tatin on expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in rabbits with hyper-lipidemia. METHODS: 30 rabbits which were gastric perfusion administered intralipid were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n - 10 in each) : IR ( ischemia-reperfusion) group, S (sham-operation) group and F (fluvastatin 10 mg?kg-1 ) group. Electrocardiography and cardiac function were recorded during the experiment. At the end of reperfusion, ischemic area and infarct size were defined by Evans blue and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The expression of ICAM-1 in myocardium was measuredby RT-PCR. RESULTS: After ischemia-reperfusion, the expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in myocardial and infarct size decreased and cardiac function significantly improved in F group compared with IR group. CONCLUSION: The increase of expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in myocardial may be one of the important factors in inducing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The myocardial protective mechanism of fluvastatin maybe attribute to its effect on decreasing the expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in myocardial .

To study the dynamic changes of CT perfusion parameters during the first 12 h in the embolic cerebral ischemia models. Local cerebral ischemia model were established in 7 New Zealand white rabbits. All CT scans were performed with a GE Lightspeed 16 multislice CT. Following the baseline scan, further CT perfusion scans were performed at the same locations 20 min, 1-6 h and 8, 10 and 12 h after the embolus delivery. Maps of all parameters were obtained by CT perfusion software at each time point. The brains, taken 12 h after the scan, were sliced corresponding to the positions of the CT slices and stained by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). On the basis of the TTC results, the ischemic sides were divided into 3 regions: core, penumbra and the relatively normal region. The changes of all parameters were then divided into 3 stages. In the first two hours (the first stage), the CBV dropped more remarkably in the core than in the penumbra but rose slightly in the relatively normal region while the CBF decreased and MTT, TTP extended in all regions to varying degrees. In the 2nd-5th h (the second stage), all the parameters fluctuated slightly around a certain level. In the 5th-12th h (the third stage), the CBV and CBF dropped, and MTT and TTP were prolonged or shortened slightly in the core and penumbra though much notably in the former while the CBV, CBF rose and MTT, TTP were shortened remarkably in the relatively normal region. We experimentally demonstrated that the location and extent of cerebral ischemia could be accurately assessed by CT perfusion imaging. The pathophysiology of the ischemia could be reflected by the CT perfusion to varying degrees.
