Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation with limbal tunnel incision.　Methods: A 3.2mm limbal tunnel incision was made on 72 eyes of 66 patients with senile, complicated and traumatic cataract. Phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation was performed. Visual acuity, corneal curvature and corneal topography were measured after the surgery.　 Results: One day, one week and one month after the surgery, visual acuity exceeded 0.5 in 69.4%, 80.6%,86.1% of the patients respectively. One week after the surgery, the mean astigmatism was (1.85±0.89)D(P<0.01), 0.30 D more than that before the surgery. Corneal topography showed that the incision was steep or flat. One month after the surgery, the mean astigmatism was (1.48±1.02)D，P>0.05,corneal topography had recovered.　 Conclusions: Phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation with limbal tunnel incision have comparatively simple, with less postoperative inflammation and faster recovery of visual acuity.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of intranasal different dose of dexmedetomidine for pediatric echocardiography sedation and to discuss the factors concerning recovery.Methods In a single-blinded randomized clinical trial,183 children were studied with a range of 2months and 33 months of age,and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) physical status Ⅰ to Ⅱ.Those children were divided randomly into one of three groups.Groups D1,D2,and D3,which were received intranasal dexmedetomidine 1.0,1.5,and 2.0 μg/kg,respectively.The induction time,recovery time,examination time,and total sedation time were compared.The success rate of sedation and the occurrence of any side-effects with the drug were compared.Sex,age,weight,dose,induction time,and examination time were used as independent valuations,the recovery time was used as dependent valuation,and then the multiple linear regression analysis was performed to filtrate and formulate the valuable factors influencing recovery time.Results The induction time had no significantly difference among groups (P ＞ 0.05).The recovery time of group D3 was longer than group D1 and group D2 (P ＜ 0.05).The total sedation time of group D3 was longer than group D1 (P ＜ 0.05).The success rate of sedation and the incidence of sideeffects had no significantly difference among groups (P ＞0.05).Children's weight and medicine dose were found to affect recovery time.Conclusions Intranasal dexmedetomidine 1 ～ 2 μg/kg could be used effectively and safely in children undergoing echocardiography examination.Weight and dose were considered as key indexes to predict recovery time.

OBJECTIVE:To study improvement effect of modified mahuang chanyi decoction on allergic rhinitis(AR)model guinea pigs and its mechanism. METHODS:32 guinea pigs were randomly divided into normal group (0.9% Sodium chloride in-jection),model group (0.9% Sodium chloride injection),experimental [Modified mahuang chanyi decoction,5.18 g (medicinal materials)/kg] group and control [Fluticasone propionate nasal spray,50 μg/(guinea pig·d)] group. Except for normal group,other groups received ovalbumin 30 mg and calmogastrin 30 mg intraperitoneally to induce AR model. Except for control group,other groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically,twice a day for consecutive 15 d. Nasal symptoms of guinea pigs were ob-served and recorded,and then analyzed and scored. The protein expression of nasal mucosa SHP-1 was detected by immunohisto-chemistry,the serum contents of IL-4 and IFN-γ were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,model group suffered from AR symptom,and nasal symptoms score was increased;and the protein expression of nasal mucosa SHP-1 and the serum content of IL-4 increased,while the content of IFN-γ decreased(P<0.05). Compared with model group,AR symptom of experimental group and control group were improved;nasal symptoms score,the protein expression of nasal mucosa SHP-1 and the serum content of IL-4 decreased while the content of IFN-γ increased(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Modified mahuang chanyi decoction shows certain improvement effect on AR,and its mechanism is associated the decrease of IL-4 content and the increase of IFN-γcontent in serum.

Background and purpose:It was reported that chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand stromal cell-derived factor 1(SDF-1)were involved in the proliferation,differentiation,and metastasis of tumor.This study was designed to observe the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4 in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and study the relationship between the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4 and different clinicopathlogical characteristics,and further to explore the clinical significance.Methods:For the detection of the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR4,43 primary hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues,27 normal hypopharyngeal tissues,34 lymph node metastastatic lesions and 9 normal lymph node lesions were detected by immunohistochemical method using rabbit anti-human CXCR4 polyclonal antibody.Results:The positive expression rates of CXCR4 in 43 hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and normal tissues were 95.3% and 22.2%,respectively(P

0.05)],which less than in control group [(4.614?1.683) IU/cm,(0.119?0.068) IU/cm,(564.2?53.8) ?m Pa

Objective To investigate and analyze the clinical and imageological features of skull base erosion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma( NPC). Methods 67 NPC patients proved by pathology were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent both CT and MRI plain plus enhancement scan. Scan slices were performed from oral pharynx (lower border of second cervical vertebra) to suprasellar cistern by axial CT scans and axial, sagittal and coronal MRI scans. Results (1) 52 patients with skull base erosion were found with MRI, and only 35 patients with CT. The following structures and figures were difined with CT and MRI respectively: pterygoid plates 8,14; clivus 22,25 ; petrous apex 25 ,28 ; sphenoid body or sinus 19,25; sphenoid wing 9, 12; cavernous sinus 14,17. The display difference between CT and MRI had statistical significance ( x2= 9. 47 , P = 0. 02). (2) CT- defined skull base erosion was most bone destruction , however, not only bone destruction but also tumor crossing skull base structure could be defined by MRI. (3) The incidence of headache was 82.7% (43/52) , cranial nerve palsy was 67. 3% (35/52) , both headache and cranial nerve palsy was 57. 7% (30/52). Conclusion Headache and cranial nerve palsy are primary characteristics of the skull base erosion in NPC. MRI is superior to CT in defining both bone erosion and brain tissue abnormality.

Objective To summarize the magnetic resonance imaging/ 1 H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRI/1 H-MRS) features of tumor-like inflammatory demyelinating diseases (TIDD),and investigate the clinical value of MRI/1 H-MRS.Methods MRI features of 10 cases of TIDD in brain confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared with pathology.Results The lesions mainly located in the white matter with mild mass effect.MRI scan all showed low T1 high T2 signal,and 7 cases showed high signal,3 cases showed slightly high or mixed signals on DWI.Enhanced MRI showed 5 cases with significant enhancement withopen loop sign,4 cases with significant patchy or nodular enhancement,1 case with mild flakes or linear enhancement.Three cases showed expanded blood vessels and plumbed to the lateral wall inside the edge of the lesions.1H-MRS performance showed 4 cases all with significantly increased Lac and Lip; 3 cases with rised glutamate and glutamine complex β,γ-Glx peaks,reduced N-acetylaspartate acid (NAA),increased Cho to varying degrees.All pathological changes were demyelination,perivascular inflammatory infiltration and reactive gliosis,hypertrophy and abnormal mitotic figure.Seven cases could be seen obesity glial cells.Conclusions TIDD had its salient MRI features:lesion had obvious edema and mild mass effect,MRI enhancement showed open loop sign and small veins expansed,on perfusion-weighted imaging it showed low perfusion.1H-MRS showed β,γ-Glx peaks,Lac and Lip peaks significantly increased,NAA slightly reduced,Cho mildly elevated.Comprehensively analyzing the MRI and 1H-MRS features,combined with clinical manifestations,contribute to the diagnosis of the disease.
