The case of a 49-years-old man complained of pharyngalgia for one year and shortness of breath after activities for one week. Endoscopic laryngeal examination and computed tomography revealed a supraglottic mass. Direct laryngoscopy was performed and biopsy of the mass was carried out. Results of the histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical analysis were consistent with atypical carcinoid tumor of the larynx.

Twenty five children with recurrent wheezing,intractable cough and recurrent respiratory infection were examined and treated by electron-bronchoscopy.Among them 9 cases were diagnosed as tracheobronchomalacia.simple endobronchial inflammation was found in 7 cases,foreign body in bronchus were found in 6 cases,bronchostenosis in 2 cases and pulmonary hemorrhage in 1 case.Tracheobronehomalacia is one of the leading causes of recurrent wheezing and intractable cough in children.Electron-bronchoscopie examination is important in diagnosis of tracheobronchomalacia in children.

Objective:To establish the fingerprints of Plantaginis Herba.Methods:The fingerprints were determined by UPLC. The peak areas of fingerprints of different parts and origins were analyzed by variance analysis and independent sample t-test. PCA, HCA, PLS-DA and other chemical patterns were analyzed by Simca14.1. The index weight was calculated by CRITIC, and the quality of plantain evaluation was combined with grey correlation degree.Results:The fingerprints of grass, stem, leaf and spike of Plantago depressa Willd. calibrated for 24, 16, 23 and 22 common peaks. The fingerprints of grass, stem, leaf and spike of Plantaginis Herba calibrated for 22, 10, 16 and 22 common peaks, and the fingerprints of commercial mixed plantain calibrated for 23 common peaks. 10 peaks were identified. The analysis of variance showed that there were differences in chromatographic peak areas between different parts of Plantago asiatica L. and Plantago depressa Willd.. And combinedede with PLS-DA, it showed that there were 16 important characteristic indexes in the classification, and the importance ranking was peak 3, 8, 28, 12, 14, 7, 5, 17, 6, 19, 23, 11, 22, 27, 9, 16. The quality evaluation results of critical method combined with grey correlation degree showed that among Plantago depressa Willd., Plantago asiatica L. and commercial mixed plantain herbs, the quality of Plantago asiatica L. was the best. Conclusion:The mixture of plantain exists in the market. The fingerprints established in this study can be used for the identification and quality evaluation of Plantaginis Herba from different sources.
