Objective To summarize the clinical diagnosis and treatments of 55 reflux laryngitis (RL) pa-tients, and to study the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and RL. Methods The pa-tients went through the following diagnostic process consisting of the collection of medical history, laryngoscopy, gastroscope, X-ray barium meal examination, vocal evaluation, therapy of anti-acid and anti-reflux. Results The laryngeal manifestations of RL mainly consisted of laryngeal discomfort or foreign body sensation (89. 1%), chronic cough (36.4 % ), hoarseness (20 % ), laryngeal pain (18. 2 %), even severe aspiration or laryngismus (10.9%) and so on. With the laryngoscopy we could see congestion in arytenoids area (67.3%), swelling or pachynsis of a mucosal fold in interarytenoid area (43.6%), edema of true or false vocal cord(40%), a little dropsy staying in piriform sinus (32.70% ), contact ulcer or granuloma on posterior extremity of a vocal cord (20 % ), artificial sulcus under vocal cords (16.4 %). RL patients might have mild voice disorder, among whom 65.5 percent displayed ten-sion dysphonia. Fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer and normalized noise energy (NNE) of RL patients increased. Compared with the controls, there were significant differences (P<0. 05) except for the F0 of female pa-tients. The manifestation and physical symptoms were improved or disappeared after the treatment with proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Conclusion RL is one of the important manifestations of GERD out of digestive tract. Typi-cal RL manifestation is mainly a pathological process in the postero-glottis. Clinically, PPI can be used as not only a treatment but also a tentative diagnosis of RL.

Objective To investigate the effects of CYP3A5~* 3 genetic polymorphism on analgesia with fentanyl. Methods One hundred and eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-50 yr, Hart nationality, Henan province, scheduled for elective abdominal total hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. The polymorphic sites of the CYP3A5~* 3 allele were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The patients were assigned to one of 3 groups according to their genotypes: wild homozygote group, mutation heterozygote group and mutation homozygote group. Midazolam, remifentanyl, propofol and succinylcholine were used for induction of anesthesia. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Remifentanyl, propofol and atracurium were given iv for maintenance of anesthesia. The pain was assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) after consciousness was regained. When VAS score > 3, the patients were given fentanyl 20 μg every 5 min until VAS score was decreased to ≤3 and then patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with fentanyl was started. The background infusion rate of fentanyl 1.0 mg and droperidol 5 mg (in 100 ml normal saline) was 0.5 ml/h. The PCIA pump was programmed to give a 2 ml bolus of fentanyl solution with a 5 min lockout interval, 7 time successful delivery per hour and maximum dosage 145 μg/h, and VAS score was maintained less than 3. The amount of fentanyl used within 24 h after surgery was recorded. Results No significant difference was detected in the fentanyl consumption in the 24 h during PCIA among the 3 groups (P> 0.05). Conclusion The genetic polymorphism CYP3 A5~* 3 is not the factor contributing to the individual variation in the patient's response to analgesia with fentanyl.

Tumor cells exhibit two main different migration strategies when invading in 3D environment, i. e. mesenchymal migration and amoeboid migration. This review summarizes the internal reasons and characteristics on various modes of migration adaptation to the microenvironment, and the molecular mechanisms in particular environment where they are mutually interchangeable. A study of the mechanisms that may possibly trigger mesenchymal-amoeboid transition/amoeboid-mesenchymal transition help us to understand the change and the plasticity in the migration strategies of tumor cells. These are important for the development of a cancer treatment, which would efficiently suppress tumor cell invasiveness.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of negative pressure closed drainage with chitosan membrane in the treatment of multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections. Methods: From January 2015 to December 2017, 108 patients with skin ulcer wound complicated by multiple drug-resistant bacterial infection were admitted in the department of burn and plastic surgery, Qingdao Jiaozhou Central Hospital. Among them, 36 patients had pressure ulcers, 40 cases had diabetic foot wounds, and 32 were traumatic skin ulcer wounds. Patients were divided into group A or group B for different treatments. In group A, besides the basic surgical dressing change, patients were treated by negative pressure closed drainage with chitosan membrane. The patients in Group B were only treated with basic surgical dressing change. The changes of wound were closely observed during the phases, and the wound bacterial culture and antimicrobial drug sensitivity test were performed regularly. The therapeutic effects of the 2 groups were compared. The changes of bacterial species of wound infection and the healing time were recorded. Results: In group A, the healing time of wound infection was: pressure ulcers (14.00±1.28) days, diabetic foot wounds (13.40±1.27) days, traumatic skin ulcer wounds (12.44±1.55) days. In group B, the wound healing time was: pressure ulcers (25.17±2.73) days, diabetic foot wounds (23.85±1.73) days, traumatic skin ulcer wounds (19.81±1.94) days. The wound healing time of group A was shorter than group B. In group A, the multiple drug-resistant bacteria was replaced by non-multiple drug-resistant bacteria, or there was no pathogenic bacterial growth. The differences between the two groups was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions Additional to the basic surgical dressing change, negative pressure closed drainage with chitosan membrane could promote wound healing, when it′s associated with multiple drug-resistant bacteria infection. This method has benefits in efficient drainage, preventing the formation of bacterial biofilm and changing local microenvironment for the dominant propagation. Therefore, it could effectively control the multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections, promote wound healing and save treatment time.

This research project was designed to explore the molecular basis of the loss of contact inhibition in hepatoma cells by regulating the cell growth density of hepatic cells (L02) and hepatoma cells (HepG2) respectively. Analyzing the character of morphology, the change of cytoskeleton, the ability of deformation, the expression and distribution of E-cadherins of hepatic cells and hepatoma cells with different density, we found: Hepatoma cells' E-cadherins increased when compared to the hepatic cells'; Hepatic cells' up-regulated E-cadherins, and with their increased growth density, hepatic cells gathered in the contacted areas; Hepatoma cells, however, tended to down-regulate the expression of E-cadherins, and they kept the fusion distribution. The migration rate and net migration distance of these two kinds of cells were inhibited by growth density. Hepatoma cells kept the strong ability of migration, but the migration trace discretization of hepatic cell decreased with the increase of growth density. Hepatoma cells kept the high discretization of migration trace in different growth density. These different results show that hepatic cells are in positive correlation with E-cadherins distribution, and are in negative correlation with its migration. There is no aggregation tendency seen with respect to hepatoma cells' E-cadherins. The effect of hepatoma cells' growth density on migration is not obvious.
