Chronic constipation(CC)is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders. Treatment of CC includes drug and non-drug treatment. Biofeedback(BF)is a psychological behavior therapy and has become the first-line therapy of CC. However,the efficacy of BF reported varied substantially. This article reviewed the evaluation of efficacy of BF on CC.

Objective To investigate the value of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in the diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis.Methods 15 patients who were diagnosed as pulmonary cryptococcosis were retrospectively studied,all of them were examined by sputum smear,X ray,CT and EBUS-TBNA.Results 15 patients who received EBUS-TBNA were diagnosed pulmonary cryptococcosis by pathological methods and germiculture,during the process no complication was detected.Conclusion EBUS-TBNA is a safe and effective means in the diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis for pulmonary cryptococcosis patients hard to be diagnosed clinically.

Objective To discuss the reasonable utilization of β-lactam antibiotics in patients with renal failure on hemedialysis. Methods The clinical characteristics of patients with renal failure on hemodylysis,who de-veloped the adverse effect of nervous system and psychiatric symptom while being treated with β-lactam antibiotics,were retrospectively analyzed. Results The adverse effect of nervous system and psychiatric symptom showed dur-ing and after hemodialysis,including: mental confusion,hyperexcitabiliy,incoherent speech,lethargy and amyestasia in two cases. Physical examination did not show signs of cerebral focal injury in all cases. Computed tomography of brain in 7 patients did not show acute lesions. The symptoms completely disappeared after withdrawal of β-lactam antibiotics but bemodialysis or hemodiafiltration continued. Conclusion β-lactam antibiotics used in conventional dose could cause temporary adverse effect of nervous system in patients with renal failure on bemodialysis,which is related to prolongation of drug half life.

OBJECTIVE To measure the dexamethasone concentration in the cochlear tissue after postaurical and intramuscular administration. METHODS After bilateral adrenalectomy,animals were divided into three groups:postaurical injection group,intramuscular injection group,and physiological saline injected blank control group.At 0.25,0.5, 2.5,5,12,24,72 h after injection(1mg/100g), cochleae together with the intact endolymphatic sac were removed and homogenated.After that, the dexamethasone was detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).RESULTS The dexamethasone levels in the cochlear tissue in postaurical injection group were significantly higher than that in the intramuscular injection group.In the postaurical administration group,a mean peak cochlear tissue concentration of(175.2?36.0) ng/ml was detected at 0.25 h after injection,then declined obviously 12 h and was below detection limits by 24h.While in the intramuscular administration group, a mean peak concentration was observed 2.5 h at the concentration of(141.1?8.9) ng/ml,then rapidly declined from 5h and beyond detection by 24 h.CONCLUSION Compared with intramuscular administration,the dexamethasone levels in the postaurical injection group were significantly higher, with peak concentration reached earlier,and last longer.

Objective To screen the influencing factors related to prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV). Methods Series of parameters of 154 elderly patients with pneumonia or COPD exacerbation were collected before using ventilator, after weaning of ventilator or at the 21st day of ventilating, respectively. Results By single factor analysis, PMV related to not only age, lying on bed, white blood cell, neutrophil, P (A-a)O 2, BUN, Cr, upper digestive tract bleeding, heart rate(HR), and blood pressure(BP) before using ventilator, but also related to heart function and consciousness after ventilator weaning or ventilating for 21 days. By multiple factor analysis, age, P (A-a) O 2 , heart function when ventilating for 21 days were related to PMV. Age≥82.0, P (A-a)O 2 ≥95.0 mm Hg, heart function≥grade 3 were high risk factors of PMV. Furthermore, it was found that the accuracy rate for meeting with those three parameters among 8 elderly patients with PMV was 87.5%. Conclusions Age, P (A-a)O 2 and heart function when ventilating for 21 days might be the independent factors of PMV.

Objective To investigate the receptor involved in the TNF?induced HO-1 expression and the related signal transduction mechanisms in the brain microvessel endothelial cells.Methods TNF? receptor 1(TNFR1)knockout murine brain microvessel endothelial cells(BMVECs)in vitro culture were stimulated respectively by TNF?(5ng/ml).After 24 hours,the level of HO-1 gene mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR,the effect of TNF?on JNK 、ERK or transcription factor AP-1 were analyzed by Western blot,while ERK inhibitor(PD98059)or JNK inhibitor(SP600125)were used.Results Exposure of wild-type BMVECs and TNFR1(p55)knockout BMVECs [BVEC/TNF-RI(-/-)] to TNF?(5ng/ml,24 h)caused a marked increase in HO-1 mRNA expression.Furthermore,TNF? stimulation also lead to the activation of JNK,ERK and the transcription factor AP-1 in the BVEC/TNF-RI(-/-),However,incubation with the JNK inhibitor SP600125 but not the ERK inhibitor PD98095 attenuated the TNF?-induction of HO-1 in the BVEC/TNF-RI(-/-).Conclusions TNFR2 and JNK activation but not TNFR1 might be essential for mediating the TNF?-induction of the HO-1 in the endothelial cells.

Objective: To understand the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma researches in worldwide, and to study the development feasibility of professional journal on nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods: The literatures on nasopharyngeal carcinoma were systematically retrieved from databases of SCI (Science Citation Index) from 1999 to 2012, and the data of publishing time, journal title, article type, language, research area, first author, correspondence author, district, and fund, etc were collected and bibliometricly analyzed.Results: An increasing trend of paper publication was detected, corresponding with linear and exponential growth pattern. Journal distribution was accordance with Brad Ford’s law; the literatures of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were assembling and parting distribution. The first author distribution conformed to Lotka’s law; whereas, the correspondence author distribution did not. Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan occupied an important position in respect of first author, correspondence author and fund.Conclusion: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma study needs professional journals bearing a larger number of scientific research achievements, and journals run in China, where the Nasopharyngeal carcinoma incidences was reported the highest in the world, may promote the development of this subject.

Malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis is known as endometriosis associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). However, the carcinogenic pathways by which EAOC develops remained poorly understood, and numerous studies found the risk factors of malignant transformation. Recent studies have provided evidence that estrogen receptor-β(ER-β) can influence the proliferation, motility and apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. The signal pathway of tyrosine kinase receptor-B (TrkB)/brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a direct relation with the endometriosis, and its anti-anoikis plays a prerequisite role in proliferation of cancer. In the nervous system, estradiol and estrogen receptor can be combined through a variety of ways to promote BDNF/TrkB high expression and activity enhancement. Therefore,the relationship between high-risk factors of malignant transformation and ER-β expression and ER-β and TrkB/BDNF signal pathways need to be explored in EAOC.
