2.Big osteoma of ethmoid sinus.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;28(7):499-500
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.

4.A case of selective embolization in treatment of advanced tonsillar cancer hemorrhage.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;28(17):1359-1360
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.

5.Guttural lipoma: 1 case report.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;28(15):1178-1179
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.

6.Clinical study on nutriti0nal interventi0n in patients with Alzheimer(s) disease
Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition 2017;24(2):75-77
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.

Light cannot be propagated within the range of photonic crystal band gaps. Based on this unique property, we proposed a method to improve anti-radiation capability through one-dimensional photonic crystal coating. Using transmission matrix method, we determined the appropriate dielectric materials, thickness and periodic numbers of photonic crystals through Matlab programming simulation. Then, compound one-dimensional photonic crystal coating was designed which was of high anti-radiation rate within the range of X-ray. As is shown through simulation experiments, the reflection rate against X-ray was higher than 90 percent, and the desired anti-radiation effect was achieved. Thus, this method is able to help solve the technical problems facing the inorganic lead glass such as thickness, weightiness, costliness, high lead equivalent, low transparency and high cost. This method has won China's national invention patent approval, and the patent number is 201220228549.2.

Objective To determine the effect of peripheral nerve regeneration through NGF ·HAMM (Nerve growth factor and Human Ammion membrane Matrix) grafts. MethodsA 1.2 cm defect of the left sciatic nerve were made and then repaired randomly by means of autogenous nerve bridging (group N),NGF · HAMM microporous conduit bridging (group NH) or HAMM microporous conduit bridging (group H) in 60 adult Wistar rats. There were 20 animals in every group. At 1,2 and 3months post operation,the following items as qualitative histology,quatitative histomorphometry,electrophysiology and functional assessments of end-organ reconnection were determined. ResultsAt 2and 3 months post operation,Motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) of the nerve repaired with HAMM were lower than that of the nerve repaired with autograft and NGF · HAMM. At 3 months post operation,there was no significant difference between NH group and N group in nerve conduction velocity (P>0. 05). At 2 and 3 months post operation,both NGF · HAMM conduit and nerve autograft groups showed more nerve fibers,bigger axon diameter and thicker meylin sheaths than H group.Conclution The combination of HAMM and NGF world enhance nerve regeneration and myeliogeny,as well as could cooperatively promote the functional recovery of injured nerves and limbs. Our results indicate that the NGF · HAMM microporous conduit is a promising tool for use as a nerve guide tube in peripheral nerve regeneration.

Biodegradable nano/microparticles of poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is a novel non-viral gene vector, which has many advantages, such as safety, non-immunogenicity, easy of large-scale preparation and well load-capability. Therefore, more and more attentions and researches have been paid on its application. Especially, PLGA has shown enormous potential application value and space in the field of plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery system. On the basis of the current situation of PLGA nano/microparticles for pDNA delivery, this paper focused on summarizing the current preparation approaches and surface modified methods of PLGA particle, furthermore showing its application in gene therapy and genetic vaccine delivery. These showed that PLGA nano/microparticles have extensive prospect in the development of controlled gene delivery system.
