Since Fujita first described uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(UPPP)in 1981,UPPP and its modified procedures have been widely used to treat obstructive sleep apnea and hyponea syndrome(OSAHS).However,despite of its wide application,the success rates was uncertain,ranging from 20% to 80%,with patients of varing Friedman stages.It is well known that the principle of UPPP is to remove the redundant tissue of palate,elongated uvula and hypertrophic tonsils in order to widen the anteroposterior space at the level of palate.But recently,surgeons have found that not only the collapse of soft palate but also the collapse of lateral wall at the palate level can contribute to the obstruction of upper airway at the level of palate.As a result,many surgeries which can widen the lateral velopharyneal space have sprung up in these years.This review focuses on the development of techniques that emphasize the enlargement of lateral velopharyneal space in patients with OSAHS.

Objective To optimize the processing conditions of Manchuiran Dutchmanspipe Stem with alkali. Methods The combination of radial basis function ( RBF) and response surface methodology ( RSM) was used to investigate the influence of NaHCO3 , concentration, duration and cycles of processing on the content of aristolochic acid. Results The optimal process was achieved when Manchuiran Dutchmanspipe Stem was soaked for 3 cycles in 0. 05 mol·L-1 NaHCO3 solution, for 24 hours in each cycle. The removal rate of total aristolochic acid approached to 83. 74%. Conclusion The combination of RBF and RSM provided a new method and good guidance for further toxicity attenuation for Manchuiran Dutchmanspipe Stem.

Objective To evaluate the impact of different ages, different gender, with or without exercise and different fracture sites on the nutritional status using mini nutritional assessment (MNA-SF) in hospitalized elderly fracture patients. Methods A total of 1 353 hospitalized elderly patients with fracture were included. The MNA-SF investigations were completed within 3 days after admission. The diet, body weight, physical activity, psychological trauma or stress, psychological problems, body mass index (BMI), calf circumference (CC), history of aerobic exercise and the fracture sites were recorded three days after admission. The nutritional status were evaluated including normal nutrition, risk of malnutrition and malnutritional status. The relationships of nutritional status were analyzed between different ages, different gender, with or without exercise, different fracture sites. Results There were significant differences in the incidence of normal nutrition, risk of malnutrition malnutrition and non-normal nutritional status between different ages, different gender, with or without exercise, femoral intertrochanteric fracture and upper limb fracture. There were also significant differences in the incidence of normal nutrition, risk of malnutrition and malnutrition between femoral neck fracture and upper limb fracture. Conclusion There is a higher incidence of non-normal nutritional status in patients older than 80 years, female, with no regular exercise and with femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Objective To study the imaging characteristics of localized myositis ossificans for improving its diagnosis and differen-tial diagnosis ability.Methods The Clinical and radiographic data of 45 cases with localized myositis ossificans proved by pathology or clinical follow up were analyzed retrospectively,summarize its imaging features.Results Of the 45 cases,1 7 cases occurred in the elbow joint,1 5 in the hip joint,13 in the other parts of the body.X-ray showed lining or lamellar high-density ossification in soft tis-sues in 34 cases,of those 12 cases with “shell”ossification.Compared with the X-ray,CT showed more clear ossification.MRI showed the soft tissue mass with peripheral edema in 18 cases;3 cases obvious ossification,no edema around.SPECT/CT showed abnormal imaging agent concentration in soft tissue within 12 cases,of those 5 cases concentration range greater than the range of ossification,4 cases concentration range less than the range of ossification.Conclusion Localized myositis ossificans have certain im-aging characteristics.Integrated application of a variety of imaging combined with the clinical can fully display the evolution of the disease,and improve its diagnosis rate.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the curative effect of Danhong injection in treating cerebral infarction.METHODS:30 patients(trial group) were assigned to receive Danhong injection,while 26(control group) to receive Ligustrazine injection.The neurologic impairment score,clinical efficacy and ADRs during medication were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:The total effective rates in trial group vs.in control group were 86.67% vs.65.38%,showing significant differences between the two groups(P

Objective To explore the relationship between the four different molecular subtypes of locally advanced breast cancer(LABC) and the clinical effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy containing docetaxel and anthracyclines on breast cancer. Methods The record of 68 patients with LABC who were treated with the therapeutic scheme was reviewed. Breast cancer molecules were diagnosed by core needle biopsy through IHC and were divided into four subtypes. After 3 to 5 courses of treatment, the relationship of molecular subtype and clinical effects was analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that absence of estrogen receptor (ER) expression and size of tumor (≤5cm) were predictive factors for clinical complete response (cCR) (P<0.05).Over expression of HER-2 and molecular subtypes were predictive for pathologic complete response (pCR) (P<0.05). pCR rate of HER2+/ER- subtype in this therapeutic scheme was, higher than that of other subtypes and pCR rate of Luminal A subtype was the lowest. Multivariate analysis showed that molecular subtypes cant be the predictive factors for this therapeutic scheme (P>0.05) and only HER-2 (P<0.05) was the independent variable in predicting pCR for this therapeutic scheme. Conclusion Molecular subtypes can not independently predict pCR for neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen containing docetaxel and anthracyclines.

Objective To explore the bioactivity and stability of the antifungal substance produced by Streptomyces NG-715 as well as to establish the assay for biological activity detection. Method Take the antifungal substance as experimental materials, and test its minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration on four fungi strains including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Penicillium citrinum, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus sp. Aspergillus niger was used as indicator strain to measure the biological activity and stability of the antifungal substance. Results The results showed that the MIC of the antifungal substance on four fungi strains including Saccharomyces cerevisiae,Penicillium citrinum,Aspergillus niger,Rhizopus sp were 1.25, 2.5, 3.75 and 3.75μg/mL, respectively. The MBC of the antifungal substance on four fungi strains were 2.5, 10, 17.5 and 17.5μg/mL, respectively. Linearity regress equation of the antifungal substance in Aspergillus niger was y=26.963 x-27.6,R 2=0.9991. The antifungal substance was pH-stable, heat-stable but ultravio1 et-sensible. Conclusion The results from this study will porvide useful information for the further extraction and analysis on the bioactive compound.

After the history of health-promoting Qigong was described, the collation and digitalization plan of Qigong in formulas or rhymes was put forward, then a Qigong in formulas or rhymes database was constructed based on their indexing, the health preserving and cultural value of Qigong in formulas or rhymes was mined.
