Objective To observe the influence of nasal washing with Bidouguan Perfusate (BP) on nasal mucosal cytokines of nasal polyp patients after operation. Methods Thirty-nine nasal polyp patients were randomized into BP group ( N=18) and normal saline group ( N=21). All patients received operation for nasal polyp and postoperative comprehensive treatment, and additionally, BP group was given washing with BP and normal saline group was washed with 0.9%normal saline for 3 months. The scores of SNOT-20 and Lund-Kennedy were observed for the evaluation of therapeutic effect. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) was used for detection of interleukin 5 (IL-5), interleukin 8 (IL-8), interleukin 10 (IL-10), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in nasal mucosa before operation and 3 months after operation. Results ( 1) SNOT-20 and Lund-Kennedy scores were decreased after operation ( P <0.05 compared with those before operation) , the difference being insignificant between the two group after operation ( P>0.05). ( 2) The expression levels of IL-5, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-αand GM-CSF in the nasal mucosa were decreased in both groups 3 months after operation (P<0.05), and the decrease of IL-5, IL-8, IL-10 and IFN-γ in BP group was superior to that in the normal saline group ( P<0.05) . The differences of TNF-α and GM-CSF levels were insignificant between the two groups after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion Nasal washing with BP has similar effect to normal saline on improving the quality of life and nasal mucosal histology 3 months after operation, but BP has better effect on regulating nasal mucosal IL-5, IL-8, IL-10 and IFN-γ.

Objective To analyze the effects of community-based intervention on improving early detection of individuals with high risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma and to explore the interventional mechanism of prevention and treatment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Total of 139 344 residents of the Second Chinese Medicine Hospi-tal of Guangdong Province Hospital Community were detected per year.Individuals with high risk nasopharyngeal car-cinoma or nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were divided into intervention group(69 616 cases) and control group (69 728 cases) according to the random number table.The two groups were given conventional treatment (radiothera-py,chemotherapy and surgery treatment) after diagnosed.The intervention group was interfered with long -term prevention,health care,medical care,rehabilitation,health education and psychological intervention by full-time phy-sician,while the control group was only treated by general education intervention.The awareness of early symptoms and the risk factor of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were analyzed.Additionally,the behavior,knowledge and attitude on nasopharyngeal carcinoma were detected before and after the intervention.Results Community-based intervention significantly improved the rate of early detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma high-risk individuals ( 75.31% vs. 44.37%,χ2 =5.32,P<0.01) .The awareness rates of major symptoms and the damage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were 89.34%and 91.78%in the intervention group.In the control group,the rates were 42.17%and 28.47%.The differences of the two groups were significant(P<0.05).Additionally,the awareness of diagnosis standard and good habits were improved significantly in the intervention group compared with the control group(P<0.01).Our results showed that intervention changed the attitude and understanding of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and improved the quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Conclusion Intervention increased the early diagnostic rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and promoted the quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
