OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of anatomical abnormalities in non-sinusitis-related rhinogenous headache and to evaluate effects of nasal endoscopic surgery for non-sinusitis-related rhinogenous headache. METHOD: Sixty-eight patients diagnosed as non-sinusitis-related rhinogenous headache were selected in this study. They were treated with nasal endoscopic surgery after failed long-term medical treatment. Data from this group were analyzed retrospectively. RESULT: Multiple anatomical abnormalities were noted by endoscopy and sinus computed tomographic scans in the 66 patients. These included nasal septum deviation in 46 cases (67.6%), middle turbinate gasfication in 20 cases (29.4%), protruding ethmoid bulla or uncinate processor in 10 cases (14.7%) and abnormal middle turbinate in 8 case (11.8%). Fifty-six (82.4%) patients showed significant improvement after surgery. CONCLUSION Non-sinusitis-related rhinogenous headache can be significantly minimized with individual nasal endoscopic surgery, as long as a precise identification of the etiologic anatomical factor can be made.

Objective To understand the current status and the changes in main disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities during the past 20 years in China. Methods　The data of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over that were from the national sample survey on disability in 1987 and 2006 were analyzed and compared by epidemiology methods. Results　In 2006.the main disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 and over were disease factors,injury factors,other factors and congenital diseases and eccyliosis.The cause-specific disability prevalences were 5.262%,1.885%,1.000% and 0.200%respectively.Cerebrovaseular diseases showed the highest cause-specific disability prevalence of 2.552% in all the causes.Compared with the national sample survey in 1987,the cause-specific disability prevalences of disease factors and injury factors were obviously increased.The top five disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over in China were cerebrovascular diseases,arthropathy,miscellaneous traumas,other causes and unknown causes in the national sample survey in 2006;while vascular diseases,other traumas,other causes,unknown causes and pyogenic infection were the top five disability reasons in the national sample survey in 1987.The age-specific top five reasons were basically the same with the total top five disability reasons of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over,and also the same relationship between sex-specific top five reasons and Iotal top five disability reasons in 1987 and 2006. Conclusions　Disease factors are the main disability reasons of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over,and cerebrovascular diseases have the highest cause specific disability prevalence.The prevention and cure of cerebrovascular diseases,arthropathy and other traumas become the key points to prevent physical disability in the elderly.

Urinary tract infection (UTI)is a commonly encountered disease during routine clinical care. In the mean time, it is also a commonly encountered hospital acquired infection. UTI possesses various clinical symptoms, and usually the symptoms are atypical. The detection of leukocyturia and bacteriuria is an essential index for screening and confirmatory diagnosis of UTI. This article summarized the pathogenesis of UTI, diagnostic criteria, clinical significance and application evaluation of detection of the WBC and bacteria in urine.

Objective To evaluate the scan technique and clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT angiography(MSCTA) of coronary artery.Methods MSCTA was performed in 86 patients,and 25 of them were also investigated with selective coronary angiography(SCA).The imaging quality of MSCTA in different scanning condition were analyzed.The patency of coronary artery and other branches were examined.The distribution and extent of coronary arterial stenoses were assessed.The findings demonstrated on MSCTA were compared with those seen on SCA.Results(1)The imaging quality on MSCTA of coronary artery was significant better in patients with a heart rate below 60 beats per minute,contrast flowing rate 3.0~3.5 ml/s,volume 120~150 ml and delayed time 22~25 s;(2)in 25 cases,of 71 coronary artery and branches without stenoses examined with MSCTA,68 had identical appearance on both MSCTA and SCA.The distribution and extent of 19 coronary arterial stenoses revealed by MSCTA were correlated exactly with SCA in 29 coronary arterial stenoses.The negative and positive predicted value were 95.8% and 65.5% respectively.Sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 86.4%,87.2% and 87.0% respectively.Conclusion MSCTA as a noninvasive examination is a valuable method in detecting diseases or variations of coronary artery.

0.05).Conclusion:HLA-DQA1*0102 and DQA1*0104 were associated with protection from chronic HBV infection and development of LC,respectively.There was no significant association between HLA-DQA1 and development of HCC in chronic HBV infection patients.

Osteosarcoma is the most common maligant in skeletal system.Its treatment is always the focus of most clinical research workers.This article is a brief overview of the research progress of the therapy for osteosarcoma.In addition to neoadjuvant chemotherapy,surgical treatment,this article also includes molecular targeted therapy,gene therapy,and immune therapy.These new advances will contribute to the clinical work.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Sanzi Yangqing Decoction (Decoction of three kinds of seeds) for mammary cystic hyperplasia.Methods Totally 113 patients with mammary cystic hyperplastia were randomized into a treatment group (58 cases) which was prescribed Sanzi Yangqing Decoction and a control group (55 cases) which was given Ruhe Sanjie Tablet (Tablet for dissolving mammary masses). Both were treated for 3 courses. Before and after treatment the clinical symptoms and signs, hormones in serum of both groups, and the indices of hemodynamics of the treatment group were observed.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 89.66%, while that of the control group was 65.45%, there was significant difference (P

Aim To study the protective effects of curcumin on myocardial reperfusion injury in rats.Methods Myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury model was established through occluding the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery for 60 min and removing the ligation later to reperfuse for 30 min in vivo.Different doses of curcumin were administered through intravenous injection 5 min before the onset of ischemia.The changes of hemodynamics were recorded and myocardial infarct sizes were measured.Results Curcumin(20,40 mg?kg~(-1))improved the hemodynamics during myocardial ischemia reperfusion in a dose-dependent manner,as shown by the significant increase in LVSP and?dp/dt_(max) and the decrease in LVEP.Moreover,curcumin reduced the myocardial infarct sizes.Conclusion Curcumin exerts protective effects on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.
