BACKGROUND:Rena gel and expansive sponge are two kinds of nasal packing materials, but there is stil a lack of comprehensive analysis on their filing effects.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of Rena gel and expansive sponge on nasal hemorrhage and postoperative nasal packing as wel as adverse reactions.
METHODS: A computer-based search of CBM, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library was performed for articles addressing randomized controled trials of Rena gel and expansive sponge as filing materials. The keywords were “Rena gel, randomized controled, expansive sponge” in Chinese and English, respectively. Then, aching feeling during filing and removal, sweling pain, bleeding, and bleeding control were compared and analyzed through a Meta-analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were four randomized controled trials, involving 115 patients. The severity of pain was higher in the expansive sponge group than the Rena gel group when the filing materials were placed or removed (P < 0.05). However, there was no difference in the severity of pain between the two groups at 6 hours of filing (P > 0.05). The severity of sweling pain was higher in the expansive sponge group than the Rena gel group at 1 and 6 hours after filing (P < 0.05). When the filing materials were removed, the expansive group showed more severe bleeding than the Rena gel group (P < 0.05). No differences in the bleeding when filing and bleeding control were found between the two groups (P> 0.05). In addition, it was more difficult to fil or remove the expansive sponge from the nasal cavity (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the Rena gel is superior to the expansive sponge in terms of pain, sweling pain, and bleeding when filing or removing the materials. But there is no difference in bleeding control between the two kinds of filing materials.

Objective To investigate the effect of magnesium sulfate on NF-κB p65,inflammatory cyto-kines in brain and serum of preeclampsia model rats by magnesium sulfate. Methods The healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,normal pregnancy group(n = 10),magnesium sulfate control group(n = 10), preeclampsia(PE)model group(n = 10)and magnesium sulfate intervention group(n = 10). Blood pressure, urinary protein,blood urea nitrogen and alanine aminotransferase levels were detected in rats in each group. RT-qP-CR and ELISA were used to detect the expression of IL-1β,TNF-αand IL-6 in the brain and serum. Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of the NF-κB p65 in brain. Results The level of proteinuria,blood urea nitrogen and blood pressure in PE model rats were significantly higher than those in the normal pregnancy group and those in the magnesium sulfate intervention group at 20 days of gestation(P<0.05). Results of RT-qPCR and ELISA assay showed that IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 level in magnesium sulfate intervention group were sig-nificantly lower than those in PE model group(P<0.05),but still higher than those in the normal pregnancy group (P < 0.05). Western blot result showed that NF-κB p65 in the magnesium sulfate intervention group was lower than that in the PE group(P<0.05),but still higher than that in the normal pregnancy group(P<0.05). Con-clusion The prevention and treatment preeclampsia mechanism of magnesium sulfate may inhibit inflammatory cyto-kines through NF-κB p65 pathway in the preeclampsia model rats.
