Thirty-four patients with chronic lingual tonsillar hypertrophy were treated in our department from 1994 to 2000. There were 18 males and 16 females ranging in age from 21 to 60 years old. The clinical feature of lingual tonsillar hypertrophy usually appeared a series of pharyngeal symptoms, such as foreign-body sensation, sore throat, speech change, difficulty in swallowing, dysapnea and obstructive sleep apnea. The CO2 laser surgical lingual tonsillectomy was used for these patients. Result showed that the cure rate was 100% without any serious complications by following up 2 months to 3 years. The variety of presentations of lingual tonsillar hypertrophy and methods of surgical treament were discussed.

Cataract is still the main blinding eye disease,and it is a major goal of fighting blindness in China.In the past years,the diagnosis,treatment technology and equipment have made great progress.With the further understanding of this disease and increasing requirement of patients for the quality of life,the standardization,safety and efficacy of the clinical diagnosis and surgical outcomes of cataract have become much more important.So the relative clinical examination approaches,modified operating skills,new surgery development and application as well as novel type of functional IOLs design advance rapidly,which provide an expensive space for the selection of the treatment for cataract.High quality of cataract surgery depends on preoperative precise biometry,reasonable operating scheme targeting at personality,suitable functional IOL,less intra-or post-operative complications,effectively avoiding treatment risk and correctly processing disadvantageous factors affecting postoperative visual quality.Therefore,the management of cataract surgery is a systemic procedure.The issue of improving ophthalmic examination,new cataract surgical technique and new IOL emerges as the time requires.How to make up individual-based treatment options for patients,better improve postoperative visual quality,enhance the safety of operative procedure,reduce operative complications is the challenges and unremitting goal for the ophthalmologists.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for reasonably designing package inserts of ointment for manufacturers. METH-ODS:According to items included in Management Regulation for Package Insert and Label and Specification for Chemicals and Bi-ological Products for Treatment,labeled items in package inserts of 51 kinds of ointment for external use during Jan.-Jun. 2016 in our hospital were analyzed. RESULTS:Among the 51 kinds of ointment,39 were domestic varieties and 12 were imported variet-ies. In the package inserts of 39 domestic varieties,items with lower labeling rates were overdose,pharmacokinetics,use guid-ance,pharmacology and toxicology,with labeling rates of 2.6%,5.1%,15.4%,28.2%;while the labeling rates of imported vari-eties were 16.7%,83.3%,75.0%,100%. Compared with package inserts of imported ointment,composition,dosage and usage, adverse reactions,contraindications,precautions,drug interactions,medication for special populations were not enough detailed in domestic ointments. CONCLUSIONS:It is suggested that manufacturers consult medicine experts, list all auxiliary materials through Management Regulation for Drug Description and Label,refine and improve the labeling contents of dosage and usage,ad-verse reactions,precautions,medication for special populations,pharmacology and toxicology,overdose,etc. In addition,admin-istrative departments should strengthen the regulatory approval efforts.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a autoimmune diseases characterized as joint chronic synovitis, and is accompanied with systemic damage.Osteoporotic fracture is one of the common complications of rheumatoid arthritis, which may decrease quality of life, and even increase the mortality of patients.Variety of factors may be associated with the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures in rheumatoid arthritis patients.In this article, through the literature review we discuss the risk factors of osteoporotic fracture, including vitamin D deficiency, lower limb muscle strength and balance ability in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Result of Bencaocogical studies on Changpu showed that it originated from two different source, one is Shuichangpu (Asorus calamas) while another is Shichangpu (A.tatarinowii and A.gramineus). Usually, Changpu grown on stony ground was referred to as Shichangpu.Jujiechangpu is a kind of Changpu with 9 nodal rings within an "inch" on its root stock,but that which is used in Northwest China is an cntirely different herb Anemone altaica.

Objective To observe the effect of depside salt from Salvia Miltiorrhiza on platelet endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) activity in health adults.Methods Peripheral venous blood was collected,platelets were isolated with gel-filtration chromatography and incubated with eNOS agonist histamine,eNOS inhibitor L-NAME and different concentrations of depside salt from Salvia Miltiorrhiza(0.1,1,10,100,1000 mg/L) for 30 minutes,then eNOS activity was measured as formation of 3H-L-citrulline from 3H-L-arginine.Results(1)Platelet eNOS activity was significantly inhibited after incubated platelets with L-NAME and increased after incubated with histamine(P

Asialoglycoprotein receptor(ASGPR),also called galactose receptor,is predominantly expressed on the sinusoidal surface of mammalian hepatocytes and is involved in many physiological functions.For many years ASGPR has been applied for targeting hepatocytes in drug and gene delivery and for functional mapping of the liver,and considerable progress has been made.ASGPR-mediated liver-targeted drug delivery mainly involved anti-tumor drugs and cholesterol-lowering drugs,etc.Liver-targeted gene delivery was often seen in antisense drugs.The research of hepatic imaging mainly involved the evaluation of liver function and identification between hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatic metastasis of tumors.In addition,researchers have also extended its applications to some new fields,such as three-dimension culture of hepatocytes,hepatocytes screening,and hepatocytes transplantation.New achievements in studies of ASGPR-mediated liver targeting are reviewed in this article.
