Currently, about 300 million people worldwide are affected by asthma. Most of these sufferers inhale immunosuppressants (ie corticosteroids) and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists for their asthma treatment. However, about 5%-10% of patients of asthma have poor response to such treatment. Investigation of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factor as a target molecule in the treatment of allergic asthma has been the concern of scholars home and abroad. This paper reviewed inhibitors of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factors for the treatment of asthma.

Objective To summarize the timing, procedure and early and late outcomes of Surgical treatment of traumatic tricuspid insufficiency. Methods From May 1984 through September 2004, eight patients with traumatic tricuspid insufficiency were treated surgically. All were male, and the ages ranged from 7 to 67 years (median 38 years). Seven patients were blunt chest trauma (including traffic accidents in three). The median duration between trauma and operation was 19 months (range 1 month to 20 years). At operation, the heart functions of patients were in class II to IV (NYHA). Diagnoses were conformed by echocardiogram. The anterior leaflet was prolapsed because of the rupture of chord or anterior papillary muscle in all the patients, combined with chordal rupture of septal leaflet in one. In all the patients, right ventricular was enlarged in various degrees, as well as tricuspid annulus. In three patients, the tricuspid valve was repaired. Five cases received valve replacement, after repair failed. Results All the patients were recovered well without complication after operation. Only one of the three patients after tricuspid valve repair was detected mild tricuspid regurgitation by echocardiogram. The mean postoperative hospital stay was (16.6?6.5) days (7 to 24 days). The median follow-up period was 39 months (range 7 to 129 months). The heart functions were improved to class I (NYHA) in all patients. Conclusion The outcome of surgical treatment of traumatic tricuspid valve insufficiency is good. Surgical intervention should be done as early as possible once diagnosis was made to increase the feasibility of tricuspid valve repair. Tricuspid valve repair is the procedure of choice, while tricuspid valve replacement is also acceptable according to the long-term result of this report.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of valvular surgery in the elderly. Methods Between 1993 and 2004, 4546 patients underwent cardiac valve operation at our hospital. 252 patients (5.5%)(147 males, 105 females) were 65 or older [mean age (67.9?2.9) years]. Rheumatic valvular disease presented in 201(79.8%) patients and non-rheumatic valvular disease in 51 (20.2%). 56.0% of patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ.63 (25%) patients had aortic valve replacement (AYR), 93 (36.9%) had mitral valve replacement (MVR), 42 (16.7%) had mitral valve repair (MVP), 47 (18.7%) had AVR + MVR/MVP, and 7 (2.8%) had isolated tricuspid repair or replacement.34 (13.5 % ) had concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) . Results Results The operative mortality was 9.1%, and the tendency of decline was observed in recent 3 years. As compared with the patients aged 16 to 64 years, the duration of mechanical ventilation, stay in ICU and in hospital postoperatively was longer [(30.6?42.8)h vs. (24.1?45.0) h,P = 0.02, (60.1?101.2) h vs. (43.0?70.6) h, P = 0.00, (25.7?41.3) days vs. (19.6?14.4) days,P=0.00]. In this group, the morbidity of postoperative complications was significant higher than that of the patients aged 16 to 64 years (10.6% vs.6.4% , P = 0.01). Preoperative NYHA function class was an important factor for postoperative mortality. Multivariate logistic regression showed that concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) , AVR+ MVR/MVP, and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, prolonged aortic cross-clamping time, postoperative acute renal failure demanding dialysis were significant independent predictors of operative mortality. Conclusion The mortality of cardiac valvular surgery in the elderly is acceptable. It is characterized by higher morbidity of postoperative complications and prolonged duration of stay in hospital. Concomitant CABG, AVR + MVR/MVP, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, prolonged aortic crossclamping time and postoperative acute renal failure were significant independent predictors of operative mortality.
