Olfaction is one of the ancient sensing capabilities and plays an important role in monitoring environment. Although olfactory loss is common, it's obviously underappretiated by medical community generally. In order to help patients with those problems, the author gives an brief review about the characters of common etiologies, treatment and prognosis of Olfactory Dysfunction. It's concluded that most usual causes resulting in dysos- mia are upper-respiratory-tract infections, trauma, and chronic rhinosinusitis; and our understanding of the olfaction mechanism grows, but frustratingly, aside from the possible therapeutic potential of systemic steroids, no method has been proved to have solid evidence for curing olfactory loss; so we need more new basic and clinic research to develop effective therapeutic intervention.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of combining acupuncture, Chinese medicine and rehabilitation training for subacute stroke. Methods:A total of 120 subacute stroke cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=60) and a control group (n=60). Patients in the control group received standard rehabilitation therapy alone, whereas patients in the observation group received additional acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Before treatment, after 30-day and 60-day treatments, and 3 months after treatment, the neurologic deficit severity was evaluated using the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS); the motor function was evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA); the activities of daily living (ADL) was evaluated using the Barthel index (BI); and the changes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms were evaluated according to TCM symptom scores. Results:After 30-day, 60-day treatments, and 3 months after treatment, the NIHSS, FMA, BI and TCM symptoms scores were statistically different from those before treatment in both groups (allP<0.05); and there were between-group statistical differences at same time points (allP<0.05). Conclusion:Combining acupuncture, Chinese medicine and rehabilitation training can improve neurologic deficit, motor function and ADL in subacute stroke patients and its efficacy is better than rehabilitation therapy alone.

Objective To explore target organ damage in the youth with pre-hypertension. Methods 77 consecutive youth visiting our institution form 2008 to 2010 were divided into pre-hypertension group (n=32) and control group (n=45). The relevance of left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), carotid plaque intima-media thickness (IMT) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were compared. Results The blood pressure of pre-hypertension group was higher than that of control group, and the pre-hypertension group followed higher family hypertension history (P<0.05). There was no difference in LVDd, IVST, LVPWT, carotid plaque IMT and GFR between 2 groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, LVMI increased (P<0.05) and the E/A ratio decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion Target organ damage in pre-hypertension youth is salient compared with changes in renal function and damage of arteriosclerosis, and heart damage is more often occurred in the obese youth with pre-hypertension.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of remifentanil-induced controlled hypotension (CH) on postoperative cogni-tive dysfunction (POCD) and serum S100β protein in elderly patients underwent spinal surgery,and to investigate their relation-ship. METHODS:Sixty elderly patients undergoing selective laminectomy decompression internal fixation of lumbar or thoracic fractures under general anesthesia were selected prospectively from orthopedics department of our hospital during Jan. 2014-Dec. 2015,and then divided into CH group and non-CH group in accordance with random number table,with 30 cases in each group. Both groups received general anesthesia of injection and inhalation via endotracheal intubation. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) of CH group were reduced to 70%-80%of the basic values by adjusting remifentanil infusion rate;those of non-CH group were main-tained at basic level. Surgery duration,anesthesia duration,intraoperative blood loss,the incidence of POCD and serum concentra-tion of S100β protein were observed in 2 groups. The relationship of serum concentration of S100β protein with POCD was ana-lyzed,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The intraoperative blood loss of CH group was significantly less than that of non-CH group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of POCD be-tween 2 groups on the 1st and 7th day after surgery(P>0.05). The incidence of POCD and serum concentration of S100β protein in CH group were significantly higher than in non-CH group on the 2nd and 3rd day after surgery,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The serum concentration of S100β protein may be related to the incidence of POCD (r=0.992 7,P=0.001 3). CONCLU-SIONS:Remifentanil CH used in elderly patients underwent spinal surgery can reduce intraoperative blood loss,but increase the se-rum concentration of S100βprotein and the incidence of POCD at early stage.
