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 provide a theoretical foundation for language rehabilitation by investigating the characteristics of verb impairment in Chinese agrammatism(CA)and exploring its mechanism.Methods Fifteen CA patients and 15 normal subjects(control group)were recruited and evaluated using a standardized aphasia battery in Chinese,the Chinese agrammatism battery,a verb comprehension and production task and a short-term memory task.Results Compared with the control group,verb comprehension and production,as well as working memory were significantly damaged among the CA patients,and it was more difficult for the agrammatic aphasics to produce than to comprehend verbs(P＜0.01).Verbs with a more complex argument structure(in terms of the number and type of arguments)were more difficult for the agrammatie aphasics to produce than those with a less complex argu- ment structure.But the complexity of the argument structure did not influence the agrammatic aphasics'verb compre- hension.Conclusion The semantic entry of a verb,shared by both comprehension and production,was intact,but the verb's grammar entry was impaired.Poor working memory together with the complexity of the argument structure accounted for the impaired verb production of the agrammatic patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationships between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome differentiation and serum cystatin C(Cys-C) and homocysteine(Hcy) in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF). Methods 115 cases with CHF admitted into the Department of Cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University were selected in the CHF group, and 30 cases who had taken health examination in the same period were chosen in the healthy control group. According to the TCM syndrome differentiation, the CHF cases were subdivided into four groups with different types of syndrome: 30 cases of deficiency of both Qi and Yin syndrome, 30 cases of Qi deficiency syndrome and blood stagnation syndrome, 30 cases of heart and kidney Yang deficiency syndrome and 25 casesof flooding due to Yang deficiency syndrome. The serum levels of Cys-C and Hcy in different groups were tested, and the relationships between TCM syndrome differentiation and serum Cys-C and Hcy were analyzed by using Spearman rank correlation analysis.Results The serum levels of Cys-C and Hcy in the patients with CHF were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group〔Cys-C(mg/L):1.24±0.34 vs. 0.77±0.22, Hcy(μmol/L):18.66±4.57 vs. 11.65±3.21,bothP<0.05〕. Compared with the healthy control group, the serum levels of Cys-C and Hcy in the above four groups of different syndromes had a tendency of gradual elevation in the sequence as follows: deficiency of both Qi and Yin, Qi deficiency and blood stagnation, heart and kidney Yang deficiency and flooding due to Yang deficiencygroups〔Cys-C(mg/L):1.02±0.27,1.09±0.31,1.32±0.22, 1.59±0.25; Hcy(μmol/L): 14.94±2.20, 17.66±3.04, 19.79±3.48, 22.96±5.31〕, and the elevation in levels of flooding due to Yang deficiency group was the most prominent compared with that in other groups(P<0.05). The correlation analyses showed that different types of TCM syndrome in patients with CHF were positively correlated with the levels of Cys-C and Hcy(r1=0.73,r2=0.79,bothP<0.05).ConclusionThe changes of serum Cys-C and Hcy levels are consistent with the evolution of regular pattern of TCM syndrome differentiation in patients with CHF, and these two markers can be regarded as the objective indicators of TCM syndrome differentiation of CHF.

Objective To investigate histopathological changes and expression of integrin ?1 of sternomastoid muscle,and probe the mechanism and significance during disease process in congenital muscular torticollis(CMT).Methods Histopathological changes of sternomastoid muscle section stained with HE and Gomori silver staining were observed and the expression of integrein ?1 with immunohistochemistry was detected,and the expressive quantity and distribution with image analysis system was quantitive analyzed.Results 1.With light microscopy observation,the results showed that the fibrous degeneration of sternomastoid muscle could be summed up 2 kinds: A category displayed the myocytes atrophyed,and there were lots of connective tissue hyperplasy around myocytes,and the direction of fibrous arrangement was disordered,meanwhile there were lots of vessels and nervers hyperplasy,and eventually the myocytes shrank back and disappeared.B category displayed that the structure of cross striation or sarcomere disappeared or changed,and myocytes could maintained the outline and the sarcolemma were integrated,and then fibrous pathological changes of myocyte took place,and there were lots of fibroblast-like that had much more enations between fiber bundles.With Gomori silver staining,the major changes of fibrotic sternomastoid muscle showed that there were lots of collagenous fibers hyperplasy.The arrangements of collagenous fibers were disordered in A category and were well-arranged in B ca-tegory.2.With immunohistochemistry,the results showed the expression of integrin ?1 was weak positive in normal control group(125.7?5.167).In diseased groups,the results showed 3 different extents:the expression of integrin ?1 displayed stronger positive in A category myocytes(30.15?6.543),and the level of expression was significantly different from normal controls(P0.05).Conclusions The fibrous pathological changes of sternomastoid muscle are a complicated and gradually process,which may has different mode,and ingetrin ?1 may participated the process of pathological changes.

[Abstract ] Objective Pelvic radiation disease(PRD) is multiple injuries in more than one organ resulted by pelvic radio-therapy.Patients have the symptoms of frequent feces and fecal incontinence after the resection of small bowel lesion .Sugeries on PRD patients were mainly distal ileum and ilieocecal valve resections , while the most susceptible part of pelvic radiation injury is rectum . However , little research has been done concerning PRD patients′anorectal functions .This study was mainly to evaluate the anorectal function of cervical cancer patients with PRD in order to provide evidence for the therapy and prognosis of PRD . Methods Cervical cancer patients with PRD in need of small bowel resection who hospitalized in our department from January 2014 to January 2015 were collected as patient group , while people from outpatient physical exam group were selected as control group according to the exclusion criteria of hypertension , diabetes, constipation and unrelaxed pelvic floor syndrome .PDR group and control group were matched according to age.All subjects underwent colonoscopy and anorectal manometry .Rectal radiation injury was estimated on the basis of colonoscopy results.Anorectal manometry results of PRD group and control group were analysised statistically . Results PRD group and control group both included 20 women without stenosis or obstruction in rectum .Significant difference was found between PRD group and con-trol group in anal resting pressure (47.23 ±9.08 mmHg vs 58.25 ±9.24 mmHg, P<0.05), anal maximum squeezing pressure (47.23 ±9.08 mmHg vs 58.25 ±9.24 mmHg, P<0.01), anal distension pressure (23.30 ±12.49 mmHg vs 39.10 ±9.99 mmHg, P<0.01), rectal defecation pressure(22.85 ±16,69 mmHg vs 50.90 ±9.14 mmHg, P<0.01) and maximum tolerated rectal volume (112.85 ±51.34 mL vs 173.50 ±48.15 mL, P<0.01).There was no significant difference between the two groups as to the lenghth of functional sphincters(P=0.313),rectum initial threshold(P=0.416) and rectal defecation threshold(P=0.161). Conclusion Ionization radiation that injures PRD patients′internal anal sphincters and external anal sphincters also reduces maximum tolerated rec -tal volumes preoperatively .It′s necessary to assess the muscles and nerve functions of anorectum before intestinal surgery in order to make a proper operation plan which will improve PRD patients′life quality.
