Objective To observe and analyze curative efficacy of Desloratadine Citrate Disodium in combination with endoscopic sinus surgery and its effects on serum TIgE, ECP and inlfammatory factors in patients with chronic sinusitis.Methods 90 patients with chronic sinusitis who received therapy in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 were collected as research objects to be randomly divided into the control group and the observation group equally. The control group was given endoscopic sinus surgery, and the observation group was given Desloratadine Citrate Disodium in combination with endoscopic sinus surgery. Then, visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to assess the severity of subjective symptoms of the disease. Three months after the surgery, the curative efifcacy, scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) relfecting clinical symptoms, levels of serum TIgE, ECP and inlfammatory factors were compared between the two groups.Results All patients undergone successful surgery. The observation group had a total therapeutic efifciency ratio of 95.6%, which was signiifcantly higher than that of 82.2% in the control group (P < 0.05). In comparison with the control group, the observation group had lower VAS scores of nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, cheek pain, headache, hyposmia [(1.84 ± 0.89) vs (3.12 ± 1.03) points, (1.87 ± 0.81) vs (2.55 ± 1.14) points, (1.24 ± 0.86) vs (1.88 ± 0.79) points, (1.15 ± 0.54) vs (1.97 ± 0.83) points, (1.84 ± 0.73) vs (2.18 ± 0.84) points], lower levels of serum TIgE, ECP [(58.62 ± 7.36) vs (64.39 ± 7.18) kU/L, (4.25 ± 0.84) vs (5.01 ± 1.07) ng/L)] and inflammatory factors of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 [(1.27 ± 0.46) vs (2.62 ± 0.53) ng/ml, (5.13 ± 1.24) vs (9.54 ± 2.23) pg/ml, (282.63 ± 32.42) vs (315.84 ± 35.89) ng/L)] with statistical differences (allP < 0.05).Conclusion Desloratadine Citrate Disodium in combination with endoscopic sinus surgery is effective for chronic sinusitis, which can signiifcantly relieve clinical symptoms, reduce levels of serum TIgE, ECP and alleviate inlfammatory reaction.

Objective To investigate colonization of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)newborns on admission.Methods From April to November 2013,293 newborns who admitted to NICU of a hospital were screened for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)by nasal and throat swabs and for extended-spectrumβ-lactamases (ESBLs)bacteria and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)by anal swabs.Results Of 293 newborns,61 were detected MDROs (20.82%).The positive rate of MDROs screening in newborns aged <3 days(5.92%)was lower than those aged <3-6 days(37.74%)and 7-28 days (43.66%), the difference was significant (P =0.000).The major colonized MDROs were ESBLs-producing bacteria(83.60%), the major colonized site was anus(88.52%).Conclusion Neonatal anus and stool are important sources of MDROs in NICU;more attention should be paid to colonization screening for MDROs by anal swabs in newborns aged >3 days,and appropriate isolation measures should be taken for positive screening patients to prevent the transmission of MDROs.

Objective To explore the feasibility and effect of intervention therapy for patients subclavian steal syndrome.MethodsThe data of 35 patients with subclavian artery steal syndrome in neurology department of our hospital from October 2014 to March 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients treated with pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting.The degree of vascular stenosis was measured by digital subtraction angiography, the inter-arm blood pressure was tested by mercury sphygmomanometer.And the clinical manifestations before and after surgery were compared.All patients were followed up for 1 to 12 months,the clinical manifestations,blood flow and vascular stenosis degree in patients were observed.Results All patients were finished pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting successfully,7 patients with serious vascular stenosis treated with percutaneous intravascular balloon dilatation at first.The average artery stenosis before operation was(74.73±10.42)%,while it decreased to(8.60+3.16)% after surgery,which were measured by DSA,the difference was significant(P<0.01).The result from mercury sphygmomanometer showed that the inter-arm blood pressure from preoperative(44.43±10.12)mmHg to postoperative (10.09+4.80)mmHg (2~7 days),systolic blood pressure differential minified significantly,the difference was significant(P<0.01).All patients were followed up for 1 to 12 months,support forms of 34 cases were in good conditions without new narrow,1 case appeared narrow in postoperative 7 months,then recovered after reoperation;symptoms of 28 cases significantly improved or disappeared,5 cases partly alleviated,2 cases had recurrence,no serious complications such as thrombosis and severe infarction occurred.Conclusion The pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting is stable,high successful and low short-term recurrence rate for subclavian steal syndrome,which is good to alleviate vascular stenosis,reduce interrm blood pressure difference and improve clinical manifestation.

Objective To compare gene expression profiles among hepatocellular carcinomas(HCC),cirrhotic liver tissue and normal liver and to analyze their biological information.Methods Total RNA was isolated from hepatocellular carcinomas,cirrhotic liver tissue and normal liver respectively,purified into mRNA by oligotex,and reverse-transcribed to synthetize two kinds of fluorescences(Cy3-dUTP,Cy5-dUTP) labeled cDNA probes.The targets were mixed together and hybridized with the genes on the genechip containing 4096 genes.The following comparisons were performed: hepatocellular carcinomas versus normal liver,cirrhotic liver versus normal liver.Genes that were differentially expressed between these groups were identified based on signal-to-noise ratios by using GenePix Pro3.0 software.Results 141 genes were found with close relation to HCCs,some of these genes were related to cell cycle and signal transduction,such as MCM7,YWHAH,among these,there are 23 genes whose expression tendency consistent with that of cirrhotic liver's.When compared with normal liver,there were 2 genes belong to metallothionein family downregulated in HCCs but upregulated in cirrhotic liver.Conclusion The inactivation of anticancer genes,the abnormality of metabolism related genes and the activation of cell proliferation cycle related genes may have a vital role in HCC.Research into these genes systematically may help to explore new markers of early diagnosisand to guide treatment proposal and to evaluate prognosis better.2007.27(1)

Objective: To compare the advantages and disadvantages of three staining methods of HBV. Methods: Normal Liver tissue and HBV-infected, HCV-infected ,or dually infected (HBV and HCV) liver tissues were selected for this study. Formalin- fixed, paraffin-embedded sections(4 ?m) were prepared. Each of the liver tissue specimens was detected by three staining methods, including immunohistochemical methods ,Shikata’s orcein stain and Victoria blue stain,respectively. Results: In the three methods , all of six HBV -infected cases showed intense staining, and three cases with dual infection (HBV and HCV) were weakly positive. However, both normal and HCV-infected liver tissues showed no staining. HBsAg stained dark brown with Immunohistochemical stain; HBsAg containing ground-glass hepatocytes stained magenta with Shikata’s orcein stain; HBsAg stained blue with Victoria blue. Conclusion: Each of three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages: high specificity and sensitivity, but high cost for immunohistochemical methods;complicated and overelabrate procedure for preparation of solutions, lower specificity and sensitivity,but low cost, for special staining methods.

The silent cerebral infarct is an clinic symptom that is so slight or transitory as to be easily neglected. There are only neural symptoms and signs,but irresponsible infarct focus can be seen on image. The risk factors of silent cerebral infarct may be the same as those of symptomatic cerebral infarct. Such infarct is likely to influence the course, clinic symptom and prognosis of acute cerebral infarct and may foretell symptomatic cerebral infarct and deteriorate into pseudo-global paralysis or multi-infarcted dementia. Therefore elder who suffer from hypertension or diabetes and experience vertigo, headache, language barrier but without apparent signs and symptoms should receive cerebral CT or MRI. Minor or third-degree precautionary measures can be taken as a chief therapy for cerebral infarct. Alternatively vitamines B_6,B_(12) and folic acid can be supplied to reduce the chance of hyperhomocysteinemia. Headache is the initial symptom in silent brain infarct. Magnesium is effective when dehydration does not work.
