OBJECTIVE:To observe the effectiveness and safety of azelastine combined with fluticasone in the treatment of allergic rhinitis(AR). METHODS:A total of 135 AR patients were selected from 3 hospitals during Jan. 2015-Jul. 2016, and divided into azelastine group,fluticasone group and drug combination group according to random number table,with 45 cases in each group. On the basis of decongestant Oxymetazoline hydrochloride spray,azelastine group was given Azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray,1 spray each nostril,morning and night;fluticasone group was given Fluticasone propionate nasal spray,1 spray each nostril,morning and night;drug combination was given Azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray combined with Fluticasone propionate nasal spray,with the same usage and dose. Three groups were treated for consecutive 30 d. Total nasal symptom score (TNSS) and total ocular symptom score (TOSS) decline indexes,nasal minimal cross-sectional area (NMCA),total nasal resistance(TNR)and the occurrence of ADR were compared among 3 groups. RESULTS:Some pa-tients were withdrawal from the trial;finally,127 patients were included in full analysis set,and 130 patients were included in safety set. After treatment,TNSS decline index of drug combination group was significantly higher than azelastine group and fluticasone group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in TNSS decline indexes be-tween azelastine group and fluticasone group,as well as TOSS decline indexes among 3 groups(P>0.05). Before treatment, 3 groups suffered from nasal ventilation disorder to different extents,but there was no statistical significance in TNR or NMCA among 3 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,NMCA and TNR at 75,150 Pa of 3 groups were significantly lower than before,and TNR of drug combination group was significantly lower than azelastine group and fluticasone group,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in NMCA among 3 groups(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR among 3 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Both azelastine and fluticasone can effec-tively relieve nasal symptom as well as improve nasal ventilation disorder in AR patients;therapeutic efficacy of drug combi-nation is better than single drug,and it doesn't increase the incidence of ADR.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of oral loratadine combined with physiological seawater na-sal irrigation in the treatment of intermittent allergic rhinitis. METHODS:Totally 300 patients with intermittent allergic rhinitis were chosen from the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University during Jan. 2013-Jun. 2015,and then divided into group A,B,C ac-cording to lottery method,with 100 cases in each group. Group A was given Loratadine tablets 10 mg,po,qd. Group B received nasal irrigation with physiological seawater nasal spray,every morning and evening. Group C was given oral loratadine combined with physiological seawater nasal irrigation. Treatment courses of 3 groups lasted for 28 d. Clinical efficiencies of 3 groups were compared as well as symptom and sign scores,respiration function indexes and inflammatory factor levels before and after treat-ment,and the clinical recurrences were followed up for 12 months. RESULTS:The total response rates of group A,B,C were 80.00%,78.00%,96.00%,respectively,and that of group C was significantly higher than that of group A and B,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in symptom and sign scores,respiration function in-dexes and inflammatory factor levels among 3 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,symptom and sign scores,the rates of PEF diur-nal variation,TNF-α,INF-γ and IL-4 in 3 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and the levels of PEF and IL-12 were significantly higher than before treatment. Above indexes of group C were significantly better than those of group A and B, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Clinical recurrence rates of group A,B,C were 21.00%,23.00%,6.00%,and group C was significantly lower than the group A and B,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in above indexes between group A and group B (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Oral loratadine combined with physiological seawater nasal irrigation in treatment of intermittent allergic rhinitis can efficiently relieve the nasal symptoms and signs,improve expiratoryfunction,reduce the inflammatory response levels and be help-ful to reduce the long-term recurrence risk.

Objective To evaluate the roles of magnetic resonance imaging and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H-MRS) in the diagnosis of meningiomas. Methods 98 patients with meningiomas underwent conventional pre-contrast MR and contrast MR. Among them, 28 cases had two dimensional single voxel or multi voxel 1 H-MRS simultaneously both in the lesion's region and the contralateral side. Results On precontrast MR images of 98 cases, T1 WI showed 58.1% (61/105) isointensities, 31.4% (33/105) faintly low intensities and 10. 5% (11/105) mixed intensities; T2WI showed 40. 0% (42/105) isointensities, 41.0%(43/105) hyperintensities, 10.5% (11/105) faintly low intensities and 8.5% (9/105) mixed intensities. After administration of Gd-DTPA, the solid part of the tumors exhibited various enhancement in all the 98 cases.28 cases of MRS exhibited specific different spectral peaks, including increased of choline-containing compounds(Cho), absent or decreased of acetylaspartate(NAA), and the unchanged of creatine(Cr). The value of NAA, Cr, Cho, NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, NAA/Cho in the tumor center of meningioma were 0. 09 ± 0.06,0.31 ± 0. 22, 0.46 ± 0. 16, 0.33 ± 0. 42, 1.50 ± 0. 68, 0. 15 ± 0.08, compared with the contralateral normal region, Cr has no significant difference (P > 0. 05), NAA, Cho, NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, NAA/Cho had significantly differences(P < 0.05). Conclusion Conventional pre-contrast MR and contrast MR is the most important dignostic means for meningiomas, 1H-MRS combined with MRI can improve the diagnostic accuracy of meningiomas.

Objective To investigate the effect of metformin on the growth of human anaplastic thyroid cancer cell HTh74Rdox which is doxorubicin resistant. Methods The HTh74Rdox was treated with different concentrations of metformin for 48 h. Cell morphology was observed by microscope, cell viability was tested by methylthiazoletetrazolium (MTT), cell apoptosis by annexin Ⅴ and propidium iodide double staining, the anti-oncogenic miRNA was assayed by realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-PCR), and the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway tested by western blot. Furthermore, the anti-oncogenic miRNAs were knockdown by miRNA inhibitors (miR-34a, miR-101, miR-125b, and miR-138 inhibitors) and the cells were treated by metformin for 48 h, after that, cell apoptosis was detected by annexin Ⅴ and propidium iodide double staining, the expression of protein related to AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway was detected by western blot. Results Metformin inhibited the growth of human anaplastic thyroid cancer cell HTh74Rdox in a concentration-dependent manner, the cell apoptosis was induced by metformin, and there was a significantly lower expression of miR-34a, miR-101, miR-125b, and miR-138 in the HTh74Rdox. However, the four above miRNAs were upregulated by metformin, and AMPK/mTOR pathway was also activated by metformin. When these miRNAs were suppressed by miR-inhibitors (miR-34a, miR-101, miR-125b, miR-138 inhibitors), the stimulating effect of apoptosis and AMPK/mTOR pathway by metformin were reversed. Conclusion Metformin significantly suppresses cell viability of human anaplastic thyroid cancer cell HTh74Rdox, and stimulates AMPK/mTOR pathway and apoptosis by upregulating the expressions of miR-34a, miR-101, miR-125b, miR-138 in HTh74Rdox cell.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,and treatment of paratyphoid fever A (fever A) complicated with severe kidney damage. Methods The data were retrospectively reviewed.Results The symptoms of poisoning and gastrointestinal symptoms as well as the slightly abnormal urinalysis (proteinuria, hematuria) appeared early, which got worse along with the progression of the disease. The symptoms of urinary system and azotemia appeared in the worst period. After treatment with antibiotic, 4 patients recovered early.Conclusion Paratyphoid fever A can cause severe kidney damage, with non-specific symptoms at the early stage. The seriousness of the abnormal of urine test can't be ignored as those provides the basis for the early diagnosis. The early use of antibiotic is the key to avoid and lessen the serverity of kidney damage.
