Objective To analyze the differences of video laryngoscope, direct laryngoscopy and fibreoptic bron﹣choscope nasal intubation on hemodynamics, inflammatory and stress response. Methods 117 patients underwent surgery from November 2013 to March 2015 were chose as research subjects and randomly divided into video laryn﹣goscope group, direct laryngoscopy group, fiberoptic bronchoscope group based on different cannula enrolled way. Then compared the hemodynamics, inflammation, stress level after intubation among the three groups. Results Com﹣pared with the T0, the three groups patients' systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin -6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), norepinephrine (NE), plasma cortisol (Cor), angiotensinⅡ(ATⅡ) differences had no significant difference (P>0.05);compared with direct laryn﹣goscopy group, video laryngoscope group, fiberoptic bronchoscope group patients' T1, T2, T3 SBP, DBP, HR, CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, NE, Cor, ATⅡ levels were lower; compared with the video laryngoscope group, optical fiber bron﹣choscopy group patients SBP, DBP, HR, CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, NE, Cor, ATⅡ low levels at T1, T2, T3 were lower (P<0.05). Conclusions Fibreoptic bronchoscope nasal intubation has less influence on patients, will not cause severe stress and inflammatory response, it is one of the ideal instrument anesthesia induction intubation.

Objective To determine the effect of bacille Calmette-Guerin-polysaccharide nucleic acid (BCG/PSN)on 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB)-induced atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions in Nc/Nga mice.Methods Fifteen mice were randomly and equally classified into 3 groups,i.e.,control group receiving topical acetone on foot pad and abdomen and intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline,model group receiving topical 5% DNCB solution and intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline,treatment group receiving 5% DNCB solution and intraperitoneal iniection of BCG/PSN,and all drugs were used every other day for 7 weeks.Further more,0.1% DNCB was topically applied on the ear and neck of Nc/Nga mice once a week from week 2 to week 7.The effects of BCG/PSN were evaluated by ear thickness,skin histopathology and immunological parameters.Results Repeated application of DNCB caused the development of eczematous dermatitis in mice.Mice in model group chnieally manifested skin dryness,erythema,edema and erosion with histopathological changes including dermal and epidermal thickening,hyperkeratosis,and inflammatory infiltration.The serum levels of IL-4 and IrE in model group were significantly higher than those in control group[(174.72±12.64)μg/L vs (17.32±3.56)μg/L,(91.49±6.32)ng/L vs (83.95±6.63)ng/L,both P<0.05].Increased serum IL-12 and IFN-γ and decreased serum IgE were observed in treatment group compared with the model group[(122.10±4.64)ng/L vs (20.14±6.15)ng/L(73.89±2.39)ng/L vs (51.53±3.45)ng/L, (84.27±9.35)μg/L vs (174.72±12.64)μg/L, all P<0.05].Conclusion BCG/PSN might be beneficial for the treatment of atopie dermatitis-like skin lesions in Nc/Nga mice by enhancing the secretion of IL-12 and IFN-γ and suppressing the synthesis of IgE.

BackgroundIt has been proved that,after being forced,the biological soft tissue has stable biomechanical characteristics.However,there is rare study on corneal biomechanics.Rabbit is a main animal for experimental study in ophthalmology.But the biomechanical study of cornea in normal rabbit has not been reported.ObjectiveThis study was to investigate the biomechanical properties of normal rabbit central cornea and acquire the parameter. Methods Ten rabbits were sacrificed and the whole corneas were obtained and 20 central cornea specimens with 7 mm×5 mm of rabbit were prepared and tested on BOSE electroforce 3220-AT biomechanics machine under the room temperature and suitable humidity environment.Uniaxial tension,stress between strain,relaxation and creep were performed and the curves were drawn.The data was collected by wintest system to evaluate the biomechanical parameters of rabbit corneal tissue. ResultsThe maximum distortion intension of rabbit cornea was (7.7432±0.6099)MPa.After three cyclic loading,the stress gradually attenuated and the stress and strain flattened as the time change with the relaxation rate 30.33％.The deformation of the specimens enhanced with time decrease with the creep rate 24.33％. ConclusionsThe biomechanical characteristics of normal rabbit cornea are revealed in this study,which offer the basis for the experimental research of rabbit model aimed at corneal disease.

AIM: To analyze the pathogens and drug sensitivity of chronic dacryocystitis in order to provide evidence for clinical drug use.
METHODS:Lacrimal secretion of 171 cases with chronic dacryocystitis was sampled for pathogenic bacteria culture identification and drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the isolation rate of pathogens strains, the pathogens kind of chronic dacryoeystitis, main pathogens of chronic dacryocystitis, and sensitive drug for pathogens were analyzed.
RESULTS: The isolation rate of pathogens strains was 76. 61% ( 131 cases ). The pathogens constituting the chronic dacryocystitis were predominantly gram-positive coccus,the percentage was 72. 52% (95 cases), among which staphylococcus hominis occupied 27. 48% ( 36 cases), staphylococcus epidermidis 16. 79% (22 cases), streptococcus viridans 12. 98% (17 cases). The majority of these bacteria were sensitive to cefoperazone-sulbactam, tobramycin, gentamicin and levofloxacin. For gram -positive coccus, cefoperazone - sulbactam, gentamicin and tobramycin were the most sensitive drug. For gram-negative bacilli, cefoperazone - sulbactam, tobramycin and levofloxacin were most sensitive drug.
CONCLUSION: Staphylococcus hominis is the main pathogen of chronic dacryocystitis, tobramycin can be used as the first choice for local treatment of chronic dacryocystitis.

Objective To investigate the effect of T lymphocyte proliferation,Th1 and Th2 cytokines on T cells from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)patients by blocking 4-1BB/4-1BBL.Methods The proliferation of T cells from 30 SLE patients and 20 normal controls was detected by MTT and the levels of patients stimulated with anti-CD3 McAb were significantly higher than those of T cells without stimulation(P＜IFN-γand IL-4 in SLE were significantly higher than those of normal controls(P＜0.01).There were more ex-pression of IFN-γ and IL-4 in supernatant of T cells from SLE after stimulated with anti-CD3 McAb(P＜0.01).However,the production of IFN-γ and IL-4 was inhibited by anti-4-1BB McAb(P＜O.05),and especially the level of IL-4 was markedly decreased.Conclusion Blocking 4-1BB/4-IBBL can significantlv inhibit the abnormal activation of T cells and the secretion of Thl and Th2 cytokines of SLE.
