The overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a prevalent condition among adults. Currently, the present treatment is mainly conservative therapy. Antimuscarinic drugs are currently the first-line treatment for OAB. However, many patients experienced insufficient therapeutic benefit and/or unpleasant side effects. Recent advances in the understand-ing of the physiopathology of OAB have driven a huge amount of basic and clinical research into novel pharmacological com-pounds.β3-adrenoceptor agonists are an emerging drug class for the treatment of the OAB. This study reviewed the pharma-cological profile ofβ3-adrenoceptor agonists and discussed the efficacy, safety and tolerability.

Objective]In order to study the impact of adenoid hypertrophy(AH)with allergic rhinitis(AR)in the otitis media with effusion(OME)in children,as well as to discuss the risk factors on the inducement of OME in patients with AH.[Methods]The clinical materials were collected and analyzed from 205 children with AH who admitted for surgical treatment between 2013 and 2015, including medical history and signs,acoustic immittance measurement,allergy screen as well as blood routine,and to evaluate the situation of OME and AR in patients with AH. All the data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0.[Results]Among the 205 AH children,66 cases(32.20%)were accompanying with OME. The AH patients aged 3-5 years had the highest incidence of OME,which decreased with age(P=0.018). It is significant on the prevalence of the OME in patients with AH between the two groups with and without AR (P = 0.010). In the logistic model investigating the risk factors of inducing OME among patients with AH,the third-degree AH, Type-three and the accompanying with AR were significant. The third-degree and third-type AH children were 2.729 and 6.390-folds higher than others respectively (P = 0.047,P = 0.001). The incidence of OME appeared to be 1.212-folds higher among patients with AR(P = 0.010).[Conclusion]Mechanical obstruction and AR played a superimposed role in the inducement of OME among patients with AH,which was effected by multiple factors. We should pay attention to the“lateral respiratory”allergic diseases on eustachian tube and middle ear.

OBJECTIVE To obtain and compare the clinical characteristics in patients with allergic rhinitis(AR) and nonallergic rhinitis(NAR) and investigate the trends in the proportion of AR and NAR in recent 10 years in Guangzhou. METHODS 5486 patients with nasal hyper-reactivity symptoms were divided into the AR group and NAR group. Clinical data including gender, age distribution and seasonality were analyzed. RESULTS The trends in the proportion of AR and NAR during the past decade did not change significantly. Male made up the majority of AR patients and NAR patients and AR patients were significantly younger than NAR patients. Male AR patients were significantly younger than females, while there were no significant difference in the age distribution among the male NAR patients and female ones. As the age increasing, the proportion of AR and NAR patients in overall study population present opposite tendency. The main onset season in AR was summer and in NAR was winter in Guangzhou city. CONCLUSION There were significant differences between AR and NAR in age, gender and seasonality. However, the trends in the proportion of AR and NAR in recent 10 years did not change significantly in Guangzhou.

OBJECTIVE To drew the map of distribution of concealed sites in epistaxis and optimize the mode of diagnosis and treatment. METHODS We have searched 117 references on intractable/refractory/latent epistaxis treated under nasal endoscopy in the last decade, including 11 708 cases with epistaxis. There were total 11 860 cases in this study plus 152 cases in our hospital. We summed up the experiences of the optimized treatment mode performed on concealed epistaxis, which was searching the accurate bleeding areas by nasal endoscopy and performing minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment without nasal packing. RESULTS We had found that the offending arteries about epistaxis are mainly sphenopalatine artery and anterior or posterior ethmoid artery. The frequency of bleeding areas came as follows: the vault of inferior nasal meatus in 3783 cases(31.90%), the olfactory sulcus of middle turbinate in 3522 cases(29.70%), the posterior regions of middle meatus in 1349 cases(11.37%), the regions of deviation of nasal septum in 1065 cases(8.98%), the foremost regions of nasal cavity in 738 cases(6.22%), and the others or uncertain in 1403 cases(11.83%). Finally, we drew a concise map of distribution about epistaxis on the basis of the concealed bleeding areas and offending vessels. 151 of 152 patients(99.34%) could find out the bleeding sites accurately and stop the bleeding through minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation. CONCLUSION We drew a map of distribution about epistaxis in concealed areas so that it is convenient for us to seek out the bleeding sites. Rational use of nasal endoscopy to explore the sites of intractable epistaxis and minimally invasive radiofrequency are optimized mode of treatment.

: To investigate the current status of milk and dairy product intake of primary and middle school students in Guangzhou and to explore the influencing factors, to provide the basis for promoting the consumption of milk and dairy products for students. Methods: Questionnaire survey was conducted among 7 948 students selected from 3 primary schools and 3 middle schools in Guangzhou. The contents included general information, average amount of the intake of milk and dairy products (including pure milk, yoghurt, milk powder, cheese and other dairy products). Using χ2 test and multivariate Logistic regression to analyze the influencing factors of students’ milk and dairy product intake. Results: About 76.12% of all participants reported milk and dairy products intake<7 times/week, 78.88% reported milk and dairy products intake<300 g/d and the median of milk and dairy products was 178.57 g/d. In the multiple Logistic regression model, girls and high school students were more likely to consume milk and dairy products insufficiently, with the OR of 1.42 (95%CI=1.26-1.60), 1.86 (95%CI=1.51-2.28) respectively. The students with father’s education level being college degree or above (OR= 0.75, 95%CI=0.59-0.94), mother’s education level being high school or above (high school:OR=0.75, 95%CI=0.61-0.93, college degree or above:OR=0.58, 95%CI=0.46-0.72) and annual household income ≥200 000 (OR=0.77,95%CI=0.64-0.92) were more likely to consume sufficient milk and dairy products. Conclusion Consumption of milk and dairy products among primary and middle school students in Guangzhou was high but not meet the recommended amount,should be strengthened. Health and nutritional education for students and their parents,especially girls and senior students,should be strengthened to promote the milk and dairy products consumption.

Objective: To understand the relationship between screen time and dietary behaviors among urban middle school students in Guangzhou, and to provide scientific evidence for improving students’ health. Methods: Based on the regular medical examinations for elementary and middle school students in Guangzhou, a total of 12 357 middle school students (grade 7 and grade 10) were investigated by using a cross-sectional study. The physical indicators and daily routine were collected by physical examination and questionnaire survey. Multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between screen time and dietary behaviors among students. Results: The proportion of excessive screen time was 18.80% (2 323). There was no significant difference between boys (18.52%, 1 165/6 292) and girls (19.09%, 1 158/6 065) (χ2=0.67, P>0.05). Logistic regression results showed that excessive screen time was negatively associated with consumption of vegetables and fruits, with the aORs of 0.50 (95%CI=0.42-0.58) and 0.64 (95%CI=0.58-0.70) respectively, and positively associated with consumption of fried food (OR=1.90, 95%CI=1.70-2.09), western fast food (OR=1.90, 95%CI=1.65-2.19), sweets (OR=1.36, 95%CI=1.25-1.49) and sugar-sweetened beverage (OR=1.70, 95%CI=1.57-1.84). Conclusion Excessive screen time was associated with unhealthy dietary behaviors among middle school students in Guangzhou. Intervention should be tailored to screen time as well as dietary behaviors.

OBJECTIVE To compare the costeffectiveness of two surgical approaches:endoscopic silicone tube intubation(ESTI) and conventional blind silicone tube intubation(CBSTI),in the management of chronic dacryocystitis(CDC).METHODS There were 46 cases of CDC from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 2014 to 2015.Randomly,22 CDC patients were included in ESTI,24 patients were performed CBSTI.We analyzed both the final success rate,operating time,intraoperative visual analogue scale(VAS) and the rate of post-operative complications,as well as the final therapeutic effect.RESULTS In ESTI group,17 cases were cured,5 cases were improved and 3 cases were invalid.The success rate was 88.00％.Correspondingly for CBSTI group,14 cases were cured,6 eases were improved and 5 cases were invalid,and the success rate was 80.00％.ESTI was better,but there was no significant in success rate between the two groups (x2=0.881,P=0.644).Besides,the operating time and intraoperative VAS score in ESTI group was (10.32±2.30)min and 2.02±0.86,and they were(25.32 ± 4.87)min and 4.11 ± 1.44 in CBSTI group.So ESTI was better than CBSTI(t=-13.918,P=0.000;t=-6.012,P=0.000).ESTI had fewer complications(x2=4.878,P=0.027).CONCLUSION Compared to CBSTI,ESTI is a minimally invasive and highly effective technique for the treatment of CDC.The visualization of nasal endoscopy is the optimization of CBSTI,and this method need to be popularization and application.

Objective:To investigate the sensitivity of tumor organoids derived from samples of colorectal cancer to lobaplatin and oxaliplatin hyperthermic perfusion in vitro and to assist clinical development of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Method:Tumor samples and relevant clinical data were collected from patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2021 to December 2022. Organoids were cultured and tumor tissue were passaged. In vitro hyperthermic perfusion experiments were performed on organoids with good viability. Firstly, 10 organoids were treated with oxaliplatin and lobaplatin at the following six concentrations: 1 000, 250, 62.5, 15.6, 3.9, and 0.98 μmol/L. The organoids were exposed to oxaliplatin at 42℃ for 30 minutes and to lobaplatin at 42℃ for 60 minutes. Dose-response curves of responses to in vitro hyperthermic perfusion with these two drugs were constructed and evaluated. Clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin were further tested on 30 organoids. This testing revealed oxaliplatin was effective at 579 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 30 min and lobaplatin was effective at 240 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 60 minutes. Result:Thirty-two tumor organoids were cultured from samples of colorectal cancer. The median concentration required for oxaliplatin to eliminate 50% of tumor cells (IC50) was 577.45 μmol/L (IQR: 1846.09 μmol/L). The median IC50 for lobaplatin was 85.04 μmol/L (IQR: 305.01 μmol/L).The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( Z=1.784, P=0.084). In seven of 10 organoids, lobaplatin showed a greater IC50 after in vitro hyperthermic perfusion than did oxaliplatin. Testing of 30 organoids with clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin revealed that oxaliplatin achieved an average inhibition rate of 39.6% (95%CI: 32.1%?47.0%), whereas the average rate of inhibition for lobaplatin was 89.7% (95%CI: 87.0%?92.3%): this difference is statistically significant ( t=?15.282, P<0.001). Conclusion:The rate of inhibition achieved by hyperthermic perfusion of lobaplatin in vitro is better than that achieved by hyperthermic perfusion with oxaliplatin. Lobaplatin is more effective than oxaliplatin when administered by hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion and therefore has the potential to replace oxaliplatin in this setting.
