Objective:We probe more direct operation pathways in sphenoidal sinus and saddle area, and take proper measures for correlated diseases which surpass scope of sphenoidal sinus by combining image data, which could prevent serious complication.Method:Under nasal endoscope, the operation approaches we adopted included trans-anterior ethmoid sinus-posterior ethmoid sinus-sphenoidal sinus pathway, trans-meatus nasi superior-posterior ethmoid sinus-sphenoidal sinus pathway, trans nasal septum-sphenoidal sinus pathway and trans-natural opening of sphenoid sinus anterior into sphenoid sinus pathway by taking upper edge of posterior naris as a consistent surgical landmark. Forty-six cases who had sphenoidal sinus mass with bone erosion recieved surgical treatment.Result:Twenty-one cases with cyst and pus cyst of sphenoidal sinus had been healed by trans-meatus nasi superior pathway;1 case with hematoma and organization in sphenoidal sinus had been cleared by trans-meatus nasi superior pathway;3 cases had hematoma and organization in sphenoidal sinus and pseudoaneurysm in internal carotid artery,one of them suffered fatal hemorrhage in surgical exploration, and cured by endovascular embolization, the other two only underwent nasal endoscopic examination,the diagnosis was established by DSA and they received interventional therapy;4 cases with papilloma in sphenoidal sinus had been treated by trans-natural opening of sphenoid sinus approach,and 3 cases were cured,1 case had only partial mass resection as the papilloma offended the outer wall of sphenoidal sinus diffusely;2 cases with cholesteatoma of sphenoid sinus have been removed completely by trans-meatus nasi superior approach;1 case with encephalomeningocele of sphenoidal sinus underwent sphenoidotomy by trans-natural opening of anterior of sphenoidal sinus, and intraoperative puncture showed characteristic cerebrospinal fluid,the exposed meninges were then repaird surgically;1 case with mycosis of sphenoidal sinus had been cured by thorough clearing of the leision in sphenoidal sinus combined with antifungal therapy;3 cases with malignancy of sphenoidal sinus had received major mass resection of sphenoidal sinus by trans-anterior ethmoid sinus-posterior ethmoid sinus approach, and followed with radio therapy and chemotheraphy;5 cases with NPC in-volving sphenoidal sinus had been treated by radio therapy and chemotherapy after pathological examinacation;5 cases with post-operative cerebrospinal rhinorrhea and granulation hyperplasia of sphenoidal sinus had been repaired successfully by trans-meatus nasi superior approach or tans-nasal septum approach.Conclusion:There are various surgical pathways to deal with sphenoidal sinus and correlated diseases under nasal endoscope.The operation will be direct, safe and minimal invasive if we choose the pathway properly. Thin slice CT scan and 3D reconstruction of sella, and DSA or angiography of brain before operation is one of effective means to prevent surgical complications for leisions beyond scope of sphenoidal sinus.

Objective To investigate the changes of follicular regulatory T cells ( Tfr cells) and follicular T helper cells ( Tfh cells) in peripheral blood of children with myasthenia gravis ( MG) . Methods We recruited 28 MG patients and 20 healthy subjects in this study. The percentages of Tfh and Tfr cells in peripheral blood samples were measured by flow cytometry. Real-time PCR was performed to detect the ex-pression of transcription factors and regulatory factors of Bcl-6, c-MAF, Blimp-1 and PD-1 at mRNA level. ELISA was used to detect the levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-21 in plasma samples and the titers of Ach-Rab and PsMab. Results Compared with the healthy subjects, the MG patients showed higher percentages of Tfh cells and lower percentages of Tfr cells before receiving treatment. The expression of Bcl-6 and c-MAF on CD4+T lymphocytes cells at transcriptional level were significantly enhanced, while the expression of Blimp-1 on CD4+T cells and the expression of PD-1 on Treg cells at transcriptional level were inhibited in the MG patients in comparison with those in healthy subjects. Moreover, decreased levels of IL-2 and increased levels of IL-21 were found in plasma samples collected from the MG patients. Conclusion The decreased percentages of Tfr cells and increased percentages of Tfh cells in patients with MG resulted in abnormal ratios of Tfr/Tfh cells, which might be involved in the immunological pathogenesis of MG. Several changes in the patients with MG might be responsible for the imbalanced ratio of Tfr/Tfh cells, which included changes of IL-2 and IL-21 in microenvironment, enhanced expression of Bcl-6 and c-MAF at mRNA level and inhibited expression of Blimp-1 at mRNA level on CD4+T cells as well as over-expression of PD-1 at mRNA level on Treg cells.

Objective To investigate the quality of life (QOL) and its influential factors in the aged patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods A cross-sectional survey of the UC patients was conducted by Chinese version of inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (C-IBDQ).The influential factors for QOL in elderly patients with UC were evaluated and analyzed by correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results A total of 90 aged UC patients finished the questionnaire study.The overall score of QOL in the aged UC patients was (175.7±37.6),and the score of each item was decreased,especially in the aspect of economic burden,emotional function and systemic symptoms.Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the influential factors for QOL were sex,disease severity,duration,disease activity and the payment.The scores of bowel symptoms were higher in men than in women [(53.9±12.1) vs.(49.1±10.5),P=0.049].The QOL scores were lower in patients with the duration less than one year than over one year (P＜ 0.05).The QOL scores were lower in severe patients than in mild patients (P＜ 0.05).The QOL scores were lower in patients during active period than during remission period [(149.7 ± 35.1) vs.(193.9 ± 27.3),t=6.731,P=0.000].The QOL scores of patients whose medical cost was mainly paid by themselves were lower than those paid by insurance.And there were significant differences in systemic symptom,social function and economic burden (all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions The QOL of the aged UC patients is impaired in varying degree.The influential factors for QOL are sex,disease severity,duration,disease activity and the payment.The QOL in UC patients is obviously affected by economic burden.

Objective:To explore the influence of mindfulness on perceived stress in psychiatric nurses and the mediating effect of resilience.Methods:A total of 427 psychiatric nurses from a psychiatric hospital in Beijing were selected.Five-facet mindfulness questionnaire(FFMQ), Chinese-version perceived stress scale (CPSS) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) were used in this survey.Pearson correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis were performed using SPSS 24.0.And mediating effect was performed using AMOS 24.0.Results:The total score of psychiatric nurses' perceived stress was (37.89±7.16). Among all psychiatric nurses, 66.74% were under high pressure and 20.84% were under great pressure.The perceived stress was negatively correlated with mindfulness(123.69±10.82, r=-0.65, P<0.01) and resilience(85.40±17.87, r=-0.67, P<0.01), and mindfulness was positively correlated with resilience ( r=0.50, P<0.01). The direct effect of mindfulness on perceived stress was -0.15, the indirect effect was -0.34, and the total effect was -0.49. Conclusion:Resilience plays a partial mediating role between mindfulness and perceived stress psychiatric nurses.

OBJECTIVETo determine whether B7-2 could improve hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific immunity induced by inoculation of a plasmid encoding HBV preS2+S HBV DNA vaccine.

METHODSB7-2 expression plasmids were inoculated with the DNA vaccine in the gastrocemius muscles. Then the cytolytic T Lymphocyte activity (CTL), the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response and the titers of anti-HBs were analysed.

RESULTSThe DTH response and CTL activity were significantly enhanced when B7-2 expression plasmids were coinoculated with the DNA vaccine (P<0.01), but the titers of anti-HBs were unaffected (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe results suggest that B7-2 expression plasmid could improve HBV specific cell-mediated immunity induced by HBV DNA vaccine, and the gene-based coinoculation strategy using HBV viral antigen and B7-2 costimmulating could be a powerful means of combating HBV infection.

Objective To summarize experience of nursing for thoracic breathing reconstruction in patients after cervical spinal cord in-jury (CSCI). Methods 6 cases accepting thoracic breathing reconstruction in our hospital from March 2013 to June 2014 were reviewed from 1 week before operation to 4 weeks after operation. Results All the patients, aged (41.7 ± 16.2) years, received tracheotomy (6.0 ± 5.8) days after injury because of weakened cough, retention of respiratory secretions and dyspnea;the ventilator was used for (45.3±25.9) days, and they received thoracic breathing reconstruction surgery (84±26.7) days after injury. Their vital capacity was (1085±92) ml before opera-tion and was (1680±283) ml 2 weeks after operation with 55%increment (P<0.01). Only 1 patient underwent a delayed wound healing. No pulmonary infection, urinary tract infections and pressure sore occurred until 4 weeks after operation. Conclusion Enhancement of airway care and prevention of pressure sore are the keys to reduce postoperative complications of thoracic breathing reconstruction.

Objective To explore the effective method for preserving laryngeal function in the treatment of laryngeal cancer of T3 lesions. Methods Utilizing unilateral pedicled muscle-periosteal flap, 32 cases with laryngeal carcinoma of T3 lesions underwent extended vertical partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cavity structure after one-stage reconstruction. Results With 1-3 years postoperative follow-up, the patients had good pronunciation, unobstructed respiration and no tumor recurrence, with extubation rate of 100%. Conclusion It showed that treating patients with laryngeal carcinoma of T3 lesions with extended vertical partial laryngectomy using unilateral pedicled muscle-periosteal flap reconstruction for laryngeal cavity structure can remove tumor effectively and obtain the satisfactory respiratory pronunciation function.
