Chinese Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery 2017;24(4):180-183
OBJECTIVE To observe clinical efficacy of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray plus budesonide nasal spray on persistent allergic rhinitiss(AR). METHODS 120 patients with persistent AR were devided randomly into group A(n=40), group B(n=40) and group C(n=40). Group A were treated with azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray and budesonide nasal spray, group B received only azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray and group C received budesonide nasal spray only, the treatment process were 4 weeks. Clinical efficacy were compared among 3 groups 4 weeks later. RESULTS 1. VAS scores: VAS scores of nasal symptoms in group A were lower than those both in group B and in group C after 4 weeks, the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05); 2. RQLQ scores: RQLQ scores in 3 groups were all significantly improved after 4 weeks, the RQLQ scores of sleep, nonnose/eye symptoms, nasal symptoms and emotions in group A were improved more significantly than those in group B and in group C, the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05); 3. Clinical efficacy: the significant effective rate and the total effective rate were 50.00% and 93.33% in group A, but were 30.00% and 75.00% in group B and 27.50% and 77.50% in group C, the differences between group A and group B or group A and group C were statistically significant(P <0.05). CONCLUSION Azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray plus budesonide nasal spray can rapidly relieve nasal symptoms and improve the life quality of the patients with persistent AR.

The clinical manifestation and laboratory features of juvenile hyaline fibromatosis(JHF)are reposed in a 5-year-old girl.Clinical symptoms began at 1 year of age,which was characterized by multiple cutaneous nodules and gingival hyperplasia with normal intelligence.Histopathologic examination of a skin biopsy specimen showed that the epidermis was normal,the nodules were composed of spindle-shaped fibroblasts embedded in homogeneous,non-fibrous,eosinophilic substance,and normal tissue was disrupted.Moreover,the fibroblasts showed transparent cytoplasm arranged in an obscure bundle-like pattern.No cell atypia or necrosis was observed.PCR amplification and sequencing of the capillary morphogenesis gene-2(CMG2)revealed a homozygous splicing mutation(IVS 14+1G→T)in the patient,while both of her parents were hetemzygous for the mutation.JHF is inherited in this family in an autosomal recessive manner.

Children with specific language impairment(SLI)have normal cognitive abilities but experience language deficits.The heterogeneity of language disorders makes SLI children optimal subjects for investigating the correlation between language ability and theory of mind.This paper provides a comprehensive review of foreign em-pirical studies examining the relationship between language ability and theory of mind in SLI groups from various perspectives.The findings indicate that specific types of language disorders exhibit delayed development in theory of mind,which is closely associated with their language ability deficits.Among all linguistic elements,syntactic de-fects demonstrate the most concentrated evidence regarding their impact on theory of mind.It is noteworthy that al-though SLI children offer valuable insights into the correlation between language and theory of mind,further investi-gation is still required to comprehensively comprehend this association.The present study also provides recommenda-tions for future research endeavors in this domain.

Objective To study the effects of intramedullary pressure on the fluid flow behavior in bones.Methods Multi-scale models of macro bone tissue and macro-meso osteon groups were established using the COMSOL Multiphysics software.Considering the interrelationship of different pore scales,such as the bone marrow cavity,Haversia canal,and bone lacunar-canaliculus,the pore pressure and flow rate of hollow bone tissues and bone tissues with intramedullary pressure were compared,and the effects of the amplitude and frequency of intramedullary pressure on the pressure and flow velocity of the liquid in the bone were analyzed.Results When intramedullary pressure was considered,the pore pressure in bone tissues with intramedullary pressure was 6.4 kPa higher than that in hollow bone tissues.The flow pressure increased significantly with an increase in the intramedullary pressure amplitude,but the flow velocity remained unchanged.The frequency of intramedullary pressure had little effect on pore pressure and flow velocity.Conclusions The multi-scale pore model established in this study can accurately analyze bone fluid flow behavior.These results are of great significance for an in-depth understanding of force conduction in the bone.
