OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of nasal cellulose powder for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. METHOD: Thirty-six cases of patients with allergic rhinitis were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, 18 cases in each group. The control group was treated with physiological sea water and the experimental group with nasal fibrous powder. In 14, 28 days after drug evaluation in patients objective and subjective symptoms and signs improved nasal function (nasal airway resistance, the sense of smell) was compared. RESULT: The experimental group and the control group of subjective symptoms and objective nasal function were improved, but the experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); Two groups of patients had no adverse reaction occurred. CONCLUSION The clinical curative effect of Nasal cellulose powder used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis is distinct, without adverse reactions, and is conducive to improving patient stuffy nose, nasal itching, sneezing and other symptoms and improve the patients quality of life, is worth clinical use.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the related factors of tonsil postoperative pain. METHOD: After founding databank a statistic analysis was performed on 90 cases with tonsillectomy who admitted in our hospital. Chi-square test were used to investigate the related factors for postoperative pain in those patients. RESULT: After Chi-square test, the important effect factors in the postoperative pain were gender, age, surgical methods, preemptive analgesia, physical analgesia and preoperative anxiety level. CONCLUSION The pain after tonsillectomy is influenced by not only surgery itself, but also by preemptive analgesia, preoperative anxiety level and so on.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of sleeping body posture on sleeping structure and respiratory events in patients with OSAHS. METHOD: We assessed the sleeping body position, the sleeping structure, position specific AHI and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in a total of 80 patients with Positional OSAHS. The patients were grouped according to AHI: mild OSAHS (5 < or = AHI <15), moderate (15 < or = AHI < 30) and severe (AHI > or = 30). The polysomnography data and clinical characteristics were compared between each group. RESULT: The severe OSAHS group, when compared with the mild and the moderate ones, had a significant different in REM%, NREM%, NREM LSaO2, RDI, S-AHI and L-AHI due to posture (P < 0.05). The severe and the mild OSAHS groups had significant different in MSaO2, LSaO2 due to posture (P < 0.05). The moderate and the mild OSAHS group had significant different in LSaO2, REM LSaO2 and RDI (P < 0.05). In all mild, moderate and severe groups, the LT% were higher than ST%, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). For mild-to-moderate groups, there was no correlation between the ESS and the AHI for any position different (P > 0.05). For severe group, the ESS was significantly correlated with L-AHI (r = 0.551; P < 0.01); the REM L-AHI and NREM L-AHI was also significantly correlated with ESS of severe group (r were 0.516 and 0.528, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The L-AHI, NREM L-AHI, REM L-AHI and NREM LSaO2 were considered to monitor the stability of OS-AHS, while REM LSaO2 were consider to clarify the severity of OSAHS.

Objective To study factors used to predict 30-day mortality and favorable outcomes to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in young adult subjects and to estimate the reliability of these predictors.Methods Data of 175 acute ICH patients selected from 201 patients admitted to our hospital from 2008 to 2011 were reviewed retrospectively.Patients were assessed with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and routine laboratory examinations after admission.Independent predictors of 30-day mortality or good outcome (modified Rankin score,0-2) were identified by stepwise logistic regression.Results There were 90 male and 85 female,and 142 survivals and 33 deaths.The modified Rankin score (mRS) of survival group was ＜6 and mRS =6 in death group,and mRS ＜3 in good outcome group and mRS ＞ or =3 in poor outcome group.Independent factors for 30-day mortality were hypertension (P =0.023) or hyperglycemia (P =0.007),infra-tentorial ICH (P =0.000),large ICH volume (P =0.008),low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores (P =0.000),high white blood cell count (P =0.000),higher blood glucose level (P =0.039) and prothrombin time (PT) (P =0.001) after admission.Independent factors for 30-day good outcome were younger age (P =0.001),normal blood pressure (P=0.010) or absence of hyperglycemia (P=0.028),lower NIHSS scores (P=0.000),small ICH volume (P =0.000),low white blood cell (WBC) count (P =0.000),lower blood glucose level (P =0.012) or lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) level (P =0.000) at admission.The NIHSS score and GCS score were excellent predictors,while the SBP level,WBC count and ICH volume were fine predictors.Conclusions Overall prognostic factors should be integrated to get high reliabilities for predicting the outcomes of ICH in young people.
