Objective To study the changes and significance of the hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen in the larynx of old guinea pig.Methods Six young guinea pigs (4 months old) and 6 old guinea pigs (2 years old) were selected as control group and aged group for this study (n=6 for each)The expressions of HA and collagen in the larynx of guinea pigs were detected using Alcian blue and Masson trichrome methods,respectively.The images were managed using Image-Pro Plus 6.0 For Window.Results The optical density (expression level) of HA in the larynx was lower in aged group than in control group (0.69 vs.0.80,F=13.45,P＜0.05).The optical density(expression level) of collagen in the larynx was higher in aged group than in control group (0.71 vs.0.63,F=9.56,P＜0.05).Conclusions The content of HA in larynx is decreased and collagen in larynx is increased in old guinea pig which may result in presbyphonia change through higher viscoelastic properties of vocal cords.

A highly sensitive electrochemical deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) biosensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWNT)/Ag-TiO_2 composite film was developed. The solution containing Ag-TiO_2-MWNT composite was casted on the carbon paste electrode surface to form a robust film, which combine the advantages of the good biocompatibility of Ag-TiO_2 naocomposite and the fine conductivity, as well as the large active surface area of carbon nanotubes. The composite could greatly improve the immobilization capacity of the probe DNA. The morphologies and electrochemistry of the nanocomposite film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical techniques including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry, respectively. DNA hybridization events were monitored by a label-free method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This label-free electrochemical impedance DNA biosensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase gene sequence assay. The multicomponents films also displayed a high stability during repeated regeneration and hybridization process.

Objective To observe the tolerance of contemporaneous multiplane operations in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods Twenty-three patients were enrolled. According to the different obstructive level, the different operations were chosen to complete upper airway reconstruction in contemporaneous operation group (group A, 13 patients). In the simple palatopharynx level obstructive group (group B, 10 patients), bilateral tonsillectomy and H-UPPP was chosen. Results The operation time in group A was significantly longer than that in group B:(121.0 ± 35.4) min vs.(80.7 ± 25.3) min, P<0.01. The hospital days and adverse events in two groups had no significantly difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Individual therapeutic schedule for OSAHS patients should be formulated. Operating the different obstructive levels simutaneously, which would solve upper airway occlusion and complete the upper airway reconstruction at the same time. No more adverse events happen, compared with the simple palatopharynx level obstructive group, though the operation time may be longer.

Objective To investigate the influence factors of central venous catheter related infections (CVC-RI) in postoperative patients with gastric carcinoma treated with parenteral nutrition,in order to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment.Methods Using the retrospective study method,150 patients who treated with parenteral nutrition after operation of gastric carcinoma from December 2013 to March 2014 were selected.Information including age,sex,anamnesis,catheter indwelling time,infusion rate of nutrient solution,and so on were collected.Patients with central venous catheter related infections were set as infection group,patients without infection as the control group,and the group logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the collected data.Results 21 patients in infection group had CVC-RI,and the incidence was 14.00％ (21/150),while 129 patients in control group had CVC-RI.Univariate analysis showed there was significant difference between infection group and control group in age,anamnesis,catheter indwelling time and infusion rate of nutrient solution (x2=17.126,5.447,12.795,7.973,P＜0.05),however there was no significant difference in sex,health insurance,the success rate of catheterization and whether glutamine was in nutrient solution (P＞0.05);the group logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=15.927,95％CI 3.305-76.756,P＜0.05)and catheter indwelling time (OR=3.511,95％CI 1.028-11.992,P＜0.05) were independent risk factors for CVC-RI,however infusion rate of nutrient solution (OR=0.140,95％CI 0.033-0.597,P＜0.05) was a protective factor.Conclusions For the postoperative patients with gastric carcinoma treated with parenteral nutrition,CVC-RI is closely related to age,catheter indwelling time and infusion rate of nutrient solution.So reducing catheter indwelling time,restoring the enteral nutrition under condition permission as so on as possible can reduce infection of elderly patients.
