Sinus osteoma is a common nasal and sinus disease, while the clinical cases of osteoma with a diameter greater than 30 millimeter are rarely seen. This paper reports a case of a 39-years-old male patient discovered with one-year long swelling pain in the right eye. The patients' right eye was mildly prominent and he suffered from hypopsia and diplopia. After CT scanned, he have ethmoid osteoma been discovered, besides, the right media rectus compression and orbital apex compression and consequent pathologically were diagnosed. The solid tumor ranged widely from the anterior skull base to the superior and interior orbital walls,and thus deprived the patient's complete surgical resection. As an attempt to prevent complications, most parts of the tumors were sur gically removed.

This paper reports a case of female patient with throat discomfort and coughs for several months. She was discovered by laryngoscopy with a pale yellow lump in the left aryepiglottic fold and pyriformin with the size of 2.0 cm x 1.6 cm. MRI fat suppression sequence exhibited low signal, and the lump was removed by laryngoscope surgery under general anesthesia. Pathological examination showed lipoma. Five years postoperative, her throat discomfort reappeared the laryngoscopy examination showed a pale yellow lump with the size of 2.0 cm x 1.0 cm in the front wall of left side of pyriform. Her MRI fat suppression sequence exhibited low signal again, and the lump was removed by laryngoscope surgery under general anesthesia. Pathological examination showed lipoma and immunohistochemistry proved S100 positive. The patient was discharged a week postoperative and no recurrence was found in the follow up visits in the following year.

Objective:To explore the effects of nutritional intervention on the nutritional status,cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD).Methods:90 AD patients were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group,with 45 cases in each group.Patients in the control group received anti-dementia drugs,and patients in the intervention group additionally received TPF-T as the oral nutritional supplement.The nutritional status and nutritional biochemical indicators,cognitive function and ADL of two groups were evaluated when enrolled and 6 months later after the treatment.Results:After 6 months'treatment,the nutritional status,MMSE,ADL scores and nutritional indicators of patients in the intervention group were significantly improved compared to the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Nutritional intervention can effectively improve the nutritional status,cognitive function and ADL of patients with dementia.

This paper reports a case of recurrence of tonsillar cancer on the right 6 months after radiotherapy with pharyngeal hemorrhage for 4 days and aggravation in the next day. The pharyngeal hemorrhage was severe in the case and the maximum of single amount of bleeding was approximately 200 ml. The examination showed active bleeding on the ulcer with a diameter of 2 cm in the right tonsil and the depth of 1 cm. After repeated compression hemostasis proved to be invalid, selective embolization was applied on the patient and the symtoms of pharyngeal hemorrhage disappeared without complications. The patient was discharged after 2 weeks of observation without any recurrence of hemorrhage.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between Borna disease virus (BDV) and the human viral encephalitis.MethodsThe P24 fragment of BDV RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 59 patients with viral encephalitis diagnosed clinically, and 112 healthy donors were examined by fluorescence quantitative nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (FQ-nRT-PCR).ResultsThere were 3 positive of BDV P24 fragment in 59 patients with viral encephalitis, and no positive in blood donors. The positive rate of BDV p24 in PBMC in viral encephalitis (5.08%) was higher significantly than that in blood donors (P

Objective To elucidate the effect of ex vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood (UCB) mononuclear cells (MNCs) on their implantation capability and the hematopoietic reconstitution, and to find a feasible way of applying ex vivo expanded UCB MNCs to clinical transplantation.Methods UCB MNCs were cultured in short-term in serum-free medium with different early acting cytokines combinations in order to observe the amplification result and cells apoptotic difference. The 6-day expanded cells were transplanted into sublethally irradiated NOD/SCID mice to assess the implantation and the hematopoietic reconstitution of the survival mice.Results UCB MNCs reached the best amplification result between day 6 and day 10 with the contribution of SCF, FL, IL-6 and IL-3 in common and the presence of Annxin V on the surface of cells obviously decreased. Six weeks after transplantation, CD45, CD34, CD33, CD3 and CD19 antigen could be detected by FCM on BM, spleen and thymus cells of the alive mice and the human specific Alu and Cart-Ⅰ repetitive sequence could be detected in the DNA obtained from peripheral blood by PCR.Conclusion After 6-day effective expanding with SCF+FL+IL-6+IL-3 UCB MNCs can be implanted into NOD/SCID mice successfully and contribute to reconstitute the multiple hematopoiesis.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA).Methods From September 2013 to September 2015,the clinical data of 35 patients who underwent posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy were reviewed.There were 14 males and 21 females,aged 15-70 years,with the average of 45.8 years.Preoperative CT scan showed 19 adrenal tumors in the left side,16 in the right side,and one case with the left adrenal adenoma combining with right renal cyst.Tumor diameter is between 10 ～ 60mm,with the average of 31mam.Twenty-two cases were diagnosed as primary aldosteronism,4 pheochromocytoma,and 9 non-functional adrenal tumor.The posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy were performed in all of the cases,which are under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and prone position with hip joints and knee joints flexion of 90.Results Thirty-five operations were successfully completed via the posterior approach demonstrating clear anatomical layers.The operation time was 38-138min(mean 70 min),the drainage tube indwelling duration was l-Sd(average 2d),and the hospital stay was 2-6d (average 4d).Total costs of hospitalization were 14 789-31 992 yuan RMB,with an average of 21 239 yuan RMB.No complications occurred during the perioperative period.The average follow-up was 11 months,and no complications such as tumor recurrence occured.Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy provided clear anatomical views.It could be a safe and effective operation for the treatment of adrenal tumors.

Objective To observe the characteristics of chromatin conformation in hypothalamus and pituitary gland of rats with different ages (16 17 weeks and 100 105 weeks of age). Methods Micrococcal nuclease (MCN) and deoxyribonuclease I ( DNase I) were used as the probe to differentiate chromatin conformation and agarose gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) were employed to investigate the changes of chromatin conformation in rats with different ages. Results Chromatin DNA of hypothalamus and pituitary gland in old rats existed a repeat length (nucleosome core and linker region) of (190?7)bp and (171?8)bp, and in young rats (193?9)bp and (170?5)bp respectively. PAGE showed that DNase I cleaved nucleosome DNA at 10 bp intervals and the cleavage patterns were the same in all ages of rats; comparison of DNA fragments digested by DNase I in young and old rats showed that less fragments with lower base pair were produced in old rats. Conclusions (1) No aging related changes were observed with the repeat length of chromatin nucleosome DNA in hypothalamus and pituitory gland, but there was difference depending on tissues. (2) The chromatin DNA mainly existed in B type of duplex conformation and contained similar super helical structure of solenoid in hypothalamus. (3) Further experiments showed that the chromatin DNA in hypothalamus and pituitary gland from elderly rats was more resistent to DNase I digestion.
