Objective To study the protective effects of aldioxa tablets on aspirin-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rat model. Methods Sixty healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: Ⅰ (injury group), Ⅱ (control group), Ⅲ (sucralfate protective group), Ⅳ (aluminium hydroxide protective group), and Ⅴ (aldioxa protective group). The three protective groups were treated with sucralfate, aluminium hydroxide and aldioxa tablets respectively before gastric mucosal injury was induced. Then the ulcer index (UI), epithelial damage scoring (EDS) were measured, and the pathological changes on histological sections and ultrastructural sections of gastric mucosa were assessed under microscope or electron microscope. Results The data of group Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ obtained were as follow: ulcer index: 42.13±6.22, 3.13±1.46, 8.63±3.48, 18.00±6.16, 8.00±3.17, respectively; epithelial damage scoring: 3.67±0.49, 1.25±0.45, 1.41±0.51, 2.42±0.79, 1.50±0.52, respectively. In comparison with injury group, the ulcer index and epithelial damage scoring of gastric mucosa in aldioxa protective group were significantly decreased. Conclusions The results revealed that aldioxa tablets had a significant protection effect on rats with acute gastric mucosal injury induced by aspirin.

BACKGROUND:Volar locking plate is the dominant treatment of distal radial fractures, but it is difficult to judge the distance between the plate position and the carpal articular surface, thus leading to screw penetration of the articular surface. Arthroscopy or operative perspective has their pros and cons, there is no simple and effective method of positioning the plate.
OBJECTIVE:To find the optimal position of Volar LCP in distal radius fractures and explore the role of computer simulation in this treatment.
METHODS:The CT data of the wrists in 20 adult patients were col ected to calculate 3D models of the radius by MIMICS software. 3D model of the LCP was calculated by UG in working station. The distance between the plate and the distal radius joint was measured by computer simulation, and the mean value was calculated. A total of 33 Patients with distal radial fractures were divided into two groups:conventional treatment group (regular X-ray and CT) and computer simulation group (preoperative plan based on the computer-measured data).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The safe distance between the screw center and the articular facet was 11.13 mm in males and 10.97 in females. The number of radiation and operating time were shortened significantly in computer simulation group (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, computer simulation is a powerful tool to find the optimal position of volar LCP in the distal radius fractures. The time of the operation and X-ray fluoroscopy are also shortened significantly.

Objective: To compare hemodynamic effects of infusion of diethylamine/nitric oxide (DEA/NO)and sodium nitroprusside(SNP)during controlled hypotension. Method: General anesthesia was induced in dogs. The twelve healthy adult dogs were randomly assigned into one of two groups. 0.00l％ DEA/NO or 0.01％ SNP was infused to induce mean arterial pressure(MAP) to decrease to 60％ of baseline and be maintained for 30 min. During hypotension, MAP,central venous pressure (CVP), mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP)and cardiac output (CO) were measured and recorded. Arterial blood gas, blood lactate and urine output were also measured. Result: HR,CVP and CO were unchanged during hypotension period in both groups, MPAP decreased correspondently with MAP. There were no significantly changes in arterial blood gas,blood lactate and urine output in both groups during hypotension. Conclusion: Controlled hypotension achieved with infusion of DEA/NO has a rapid onset and short duration of action.The hemodynamics were similar to those of SNP.

Objective To detect Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) multiple antibodies of urease (Ure),cytotoxin associated gene A protein (CagA),vacuolating toxin A (VacA),heat shock protein 60 (Hap60) and nitroreductase ( RdxA),and disclose their relations with chronic gastritis,peptic ulcer and gastric cancer.Methods A volume (3 ml) of venous blood was taken from 300 patients of gastroduodenal disease diagnosed by endoscopy,to centrifuge and detect antibodies of Ure,CagA,VacA,Hsp60,RdxA by protein chip technique.Results The infective rates of H.pylori in chronic gastritis,peptic ulcer,and gastric cancer were 34.0％,58.0％,34.0％ ( P ＜ 0.01 ),respectively.In the H.pylori positive chronic gastritis,peptic ulcer and gastric cancer,the positive rates of CagA antibody were 54.9％,75.9％,64.7％ ( P =0.070) ; the positive rates of VacA antibody were 31.4％,22.4％,17.6％ ( P =0.412) ;and the positive rates of Hap60 antibody were 56.9％,48.3％,41.2％ ( P =0.466),respectively.The total positive rate of RdxA antibody was 4.0％ (5/126).Conclusions H.pylori infection and virulence factor CagA are closely related to peptic ulcer,while it did not show the exact correlation between VacA,Hsp60 and gastroduodenal disease.The level of RdxA antibody can not represent the level of H.pylori resistance to metronidazole.

OBJECTIVE: To study the relative factors of the changes of preoperative and postoperative bone conduction thresholds in chronic suppurative otitis media. METHOD: The preoperative and postoperative bone conduction thresholds were prospectively investigated in 45 patients with unilateral chronic suppurative otitis media after tympanoplasty. Preoperatively (within 3 days before operation), 10 dB or more depression of bone conduction threshold at least in consecutive 2 frequencies between 0.25 kHz and 8.00 kHz was considered to be significant. Similarly in the postoperative period (3 months after operation), 10 dB or more improvement or impairment of bone conduction threshold at least in consecutive 2 frequencies between 0.25 kHz and 8.00 kHz was regarded as significant. RESULT: Thirty-five of 45 cases (77.8%) were found to have depressed bone conduction threshold before operation, 6 of 35 cases (17.1%) had improved bone conduction thresholds and 5 of 45 cases (11.1%) had depressed bone conduction thresholds after tympanoplasty. CONCLUSION In cases with chronic suppurative otitis media, successful results could be achieved after tympanoplasty disregarding air conduction threshold, the air-bone gap and deteriorated bone conduction threshold. Impairment of bone conduction thresholds could be induced by chronic suppurative otitis media itself and could also be induced by touching the ossicle chain crudely and by the noise of drilling during the operation.

OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacies of intratympanic prednisolone and dexamethasone injection for the subjective tinnitus. METHOD: A prospective study was designed to compare the efficacies of intratympanic prednisolone injection, intratympanic dexamethasone injection and carbamazepine by oral administration for subjective tinnitus. Seventy-three cases (78 ears) with subjective tinnitus for more than one month and treated by conservative therapy (such as vasodilator agent, Vitamin B, etc. by oral intake. ) were involved. The patients were randomized into 3 groups. Thirty-four cases (35 ears) were included in prednisolone group, 18 cases (18 ears) in dexamethasone group with intratympanic injection of prednisolone or dexamethasone, and 21 cases (25 ears) in carbamazepine group as a control group with oral administration of carbamazepine. All of the cases in intratympanic perfusion group were injected twice in the first week, then once a week consecutively. The patients were acupunctured 4-5 times in the whole course of treatment. All of the cases accepted Betahistine Mesylate, Mecobalamin and Vitamin B1 by oral intake at the same time. Pure tone audiogram and tinnitus matching were tested before the treatment immediately after the course of treatment, and were tested again after half a year's following up. RESULT: All of the cases accepted the whole treatment and were followed up for half a year successfully. The effective rate of the prednisolone group, dexamethasone group and the carbamazepine group was 48.6%, 33.3%, 44.0%, respectively; the control rate half a year after the treatment was 45.7%, 27.8%, 36.0%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the effective rate and control rate between intratympanic perfusion group and carbamazepine group. There is a statistically significant difference both in the effective rate and the control rate between the prednisolone group and the dexamethasone group. Prednisolone may be better than dexamethasone in intratympanic perfusion for subjective tinnitus. CONCLUSION Intratympanic steroid injection has a positive effect on subjective tinnitus and may be considered to be an alternative treatment to subjective tinnitus.

OBJECTIVE: To study the risk factors and interaction of nasal septal perforation (NSP) in rats. METHOD: Animals (n=120) that underwent unilateral nasal obstruction using Merocel nasal packing or gelfoam with/without standard staphylococcus aureus inoculation were observed for the formation of NSP at 2, 3, 5, and 7 days after operation by endoscope system. Following sacrifice at 7 days, the obtained nasal secretions were prepared for bacterial culture. Experimental interventions were compared with normal controls (n=10). RESULT: Perforation of nasal septum was observed in 80% of the animals accepted nasal obstruction using Merocel nasal packing with standard staphylococcus aureus inoculation in 3 days (P < 0.01), while in 70% of those using abacterial Merocel nasal packing in 5 days (P < 0.05) and no significant difference than that of before (P > 0.05). There was a weak region in anteroinferior nasal septum in rats, which the almost NSPs located in. The position of NSP does not overlap Merocel. CONCLUSION The interaction of risk factors contributes to NSP. The occurrence of NSP mainly depends on the construction of nasal septum, while dysaemia is also necessary. Obstruction of nasal drainage and infection promote the development of NSP.

Objective:To explore the optimum opportunity for lumbodorsal muscles exercises of patients undergoing posterior lumbar decompression and instrumentation, and investigate its effect on the rehabilitation outcomes and kinesiophobia.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was used. By convenient sampling method, a total of 120 lumbar disc herniation patients were prospectively selected from Affiliated Nantong Hospital of Shanghai(Nantong Sixth People′s Hospital) from February 2020 to December 2021. The paitients were assigned to early group, middle group and late group, with 40 cases in each group. All patients were given routine postoperative care and lumbodorsal muscles exercises. The early group started to exercise 10th day after operation, the middle group started to exercise 3 weeks after operation, and the late group started to exercise 6 weeks after operation. The intervention effect was respectively evaluated by Japanese Orthopaedics Association (JOA) and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK).Results:There were 3, 1 and 1 missing cases in the early, middle and late group respectively, the age in the 3 groups were (56.05 ± 11.77), (57.33 ± 14.64) and (54.23 ± 15.73) years old in turn. Three months after exercising, the total score of JOA in the early, middle and late group were (25.32 ± 2.45), (24.44 ± 2.19) and (22.13 ± 1.58) in turn, the difference was significant ( F=23.64, P<0.05); the score of TSK in the early, middle and late group were (37.95 ± 6.81), (34.18 ± 6.39) and (33.33 ± 7.36) in turn, the difference was significant ( F=4.82, P<0.05). Conclusions:Lumbodorsal muscles exercises start at 3 weeks after operation can significantly improve the rehabilitation outcome of lumbar disc herniation patients undergoing posterior lumbar decompression and instrumentation, and will not increase the level of kinesiophobia, its can be consider as optimum opportunity for lumbodorsal muscles exercises.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem that causes major illnesses and disabilities worldwide. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of AR has increased progressively over the last few decades in more developed countries and currently affects up to 40% of the population worldwide. Likewise, a rising trend of AR has also been observed over the last 2–3 decades in developing countries including China, with the prevalence of AR varying widely in these countries. A survey of self-reported AR over a 6-year period in the general Chinese adult population reported that the standardized prevalence of adult AR increased from 11.1% in 2005 to 17.6% in 2011. An increasing number of original articles and imporclinical trials on the epidemiology, pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnosis, management and comorbidities of AR in Chinese subjects have been published in international peer-reviewed journals over the past 2 decades, and substantially added to our understanding of this disease as a global problem. Although guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in Chinese subjects have also been published, they have not been translated into English and therefore not generally accessible for reference to non-Chinese speaking international medical communities. Moreover, methods for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in China have not been standardized entirely and some patients are still treated according to regional preferences. Thus, the present guidelines have been developed by the Chinese Society of Allergy to be accessible to both national and international medical communities involved in the management of AR patients. These guidelines have been prepared in line with existing international guidelines to provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AR in China.
