AIM:To analyze the 34 cases of patients with diagnosis of lacrimal duct disease, to explore the cause and clinical characteristics of lacrimal duct inflammation, and to study the common misdiagnosis to improve the diagnosis rate, to provide clinical experience for medical workers.
METHODS: A total of 34 eyes of 34 patients were selected from 2011-06 to 2015-06 to our hospital for lacrimal duct incision. Clinical data of patients including age and gender distribution, eye and lesion location, duration, canaliculitis clinical symptoms and previous misdiagnosis were collected. The operation of lacrimal duct was carried out, and the secretion of lacrimal secretion was checked.
RESULTS:Patients over the age of 40 accounted for 77%of the population, men accounted for 23. 5%, women accounted for 76. 5%. Left eye in 15 cases, right eye in 19 cases, and were monocular onset, 26 cases ( 76%) of patients with lower lacrimal duct inflammation. Clinical symptoms: increased secretion, canthal conjunctival congestion, swelling, lesion location around the lacrimal puncta swelling and tenderness, slightly raised, epiphora, foreign body sensation. The culture results Showed 34 cases of discharge inspection. A total of 20 cases were fungal growth, 6 cases of bacterial growth rate were 59%, 18%, and 8 cases were not detected, 10 cases of lacrimal duct stone were found by pathological examination. There were 3 cases of Aspergillus, 5 cases of Candida, 2 cases of actinomycetes, 4 cases found in Gram staining microscope. Misdiagnosis of canaliculitis for other eye diseases, including 12 cases of chronic dacryocystitis, 8 cases of chronic conjunctivitis, 6 cases of acute conjunctivitis, stye in 4 cases, the misdiagnosis rate reached 88%.
CONCLUSION:In the middle and old aged people, the lacrimal duct is more than that of the male. The main pathogenic bacteria causing lacrimal duct infection may be fungi, which can be treated with anti-fungal drugs. For the removal of the lacrimal duct stone, we should distinguish the types of pathogenic bacteria for the treatment of the disease. In the case of misdiagnosis, the clinical manifestations of different clinical manifestations from the lacrimal duct infection and other diseases of the eye should be carefully examined and carefully treated.

To evaluate the application of nueroelectrophysiological tests in early diagnosis of sub-clinical neuropathy in diabetes mellitus (DM), The routine nerve conductive velocity (NCV), F-wave and sympathetic skin response (SSR) were detected in 27 patients with diabetes mellitus but without symptoms and signs of lesions of nerve system. Our results showed that 48.1%, 44.4%, 51.9% of the patients were found to have abnormal NCV, F-wave and SSR respectively. The abnormalities were mainly characterized by prolonged latency, reduced velocity and absence of wave-form. There were significant differences between the controls and the DM group (P < 0.05). Both the distal and proximal segments of nerves were affected and the distal lesions took place earlier than proximal ones and the changes in low extremities were more severe than those of upper extremities. F-wave can be used as a sensitive indicator for the early diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy and it can help to detect the subclincial lesions. SSR can be used for the evaluation of functional status of autonomic nerves in DM patients.

By collecting and studying Practical Acupuncture written by XU Yi-nian, Guangdong acupuncture master in the Republic of China, and using literature methodology, the life story of XU Yi-nian is textually researched and his acupuncture characteristics is analyzed. The results indicate that XU Yi-nian emphasizes on the utility of acupuncture manipulations and acupoint selection, the application of folk experiences in moxibustion and Sha disorders. He pays attention to the co-work of acupuncture and medicine and his work collects the therapeutic experiences of different schools and deserves to be further explored and validated.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Bortezomib (an inhibitor of proteasome) on IL-6 synthesis and cachexia in colon 26 tumor bearing mice. Methods: Murine colon 26 adenocarcinoma cells were inoculated subcutaneously in male BALB/c mice to induce cachexia. Saline and three doses of Bortezomib (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg) were given intraperitoneally on day 6, 9, 12 and 15 after tumor inoculation and mice were sacrificed on day 16. Body weight, food intake and tumor volume were monitored daily. Serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10, tumor tissue levels of IL-6 and activity of NF-κB in tumor tissues were investigated in all animals. Results: By day 16, saline treated tumor-bearing mice showed significant body weight and carcass weight changes (P<0.01), gastrocnemius muscle wasting and epididymal fat depletion (P<0.01). Furthermore, Tumor-bearing caused a significant increase of IL-6 and IL-10 (P<0.01) in serum and IL-6 in tumor tissues. Administration of Bortezomib attenuated the wasting of carcass weight, gastrocnemius muscle and epididymal fat. Bortezomib dose dependently inhibited the NF-κB activation and IL-6 synthesis of the tumor cells, and the maximal inhibition was observed at the dose of 1.0 mg/kg (P<0.01). Bortezomib 0.5 mg/kg significantly inhibited the increase of serum IL-6 (P<0.01). Bortezomib showed significant anti-tumor effect, and tumor growth was significantly inhibited by Bortezomib with 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg (P<0.01). Conclusion: Bortezomib can inhibit NF-κB activation, tissue wasting and cancer cachexia.
