1.The role of polyunsaturated fatty acids in allergic diseases prevention
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(4):374-376
Studies suggested a link between the declining consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA)and the rise in allergic diseases. Although the effect of supplementing n-3 PUFA on the treatment of atopic diseases in adult has been disappointing, the epidemiological evidence suggested n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may play a role in against allergy. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on the role of n-3 PUFA in allergy prevention in early life. This review will examine the current evidences about the effects and mechanisms of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in allergy protection.
2.Minimally invasive surgery for inflammatory bowel disease
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2016;15(12):1140-1145
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) could lead to the complexity of intra-abdominal pathology and patients' malnutrition,which might greatly increase the risk of operation.Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is playing an important role in the treatment of IBD,with the advantages of faster postoperative recovery,shorter duration of hospital stay and lower incidence of postoperative complications.And some new techniques for IBD have been reported in the western countries,such as single-incision laparoscopic surgery,natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery,robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery and so on.However,the new techniques are not widely used in China,and it is necessary to carry out a series of clinical practices,which should be carefully selected for IBD patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery.

20 children aged 3 years ±3 months with dental caries were randomly divided into 2 groups(n =1 0).The caries tissue was re-moved by conventional bur and Er:YAG laser respectively without the use of mouth speculum,mouth gag and binding belts.In laser group the success rate of treatment at first visit and return visit was higher(P <0.05)and children's dental anxiety grad was lower(P <0.05).The Er:YAG laser is more effective in easing children's dental anxiety and in the dental treatment.

Objective To observe clinical therapeutic effect of Yiqi Huayu Prescription for diabetes peripheral nerve and blood vessel pathological change. Methods One hundred patients with diabetes peripheral nerve and blood vessel pathological change were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in control group (n=48) were treated by routine treatment. The patients in treatment group (n =52) were treated by oral use of Yiqi Huayu Prescription and routine treatment. Their therapeutic effects were compared after three courses of treatment, which was 30 days. Results The total effective rate was 92.9% in the treatment group and 61.1% in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (P 0.05). The internal diameter of the dorsal pedal artery and popliteal artery and the peak value of flow rate of the treatment group were improved (P

Objective To demonstrate the carotid artery hemodynamic characteristics in patients with common carotid artery occlusion,and to investigate the value of color Doppler ultrasonography in evaluating it.Methods 30 patients with common carotid artery (CCA) occlusion or severe stenosis (stenosis rate>70%) were as the patients group,while 30 volunteers with the normal indicators of carotid artery ultrasonography as the control group.In both groups,the examinations of the CCA,the internal carotid artery (ICA),the external carotid artery (ECA) and the vertebral artery (VA) were taken by color Doppler ultrasonography under quiescent conditions.Bilateral carotid ultrasonography studies were performed,which included the peak systolic velocity (PSV),end-diastolic velocity (EDV),mean velocity (MV),and resistance index (RI).Results The peak systolic velocity (PSV),EDV and MV of ICA were obviously lower in case group at affected side than in the control group (P<0.05 or 0.01).The blood flow of ECA at the affected side was retrograde or bidirectional.PSV,EDV and MV of the external carotid artery (ECA) were obviously higher in the healthy side in patients than in the control group (all P<0.01).There was a significant difference in blood flow velocity of bilateral vertebral artery (VA) between the patients group and the control group,and the PSV,EDV and MV were obviously higher in the former than in the latter (all P<0.01).And the RI was different between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusions The pressure of ICA is dropped after the common carotid artery occlusion,and then ECA reversely feeds ICA by collateral circulation.The blood flow velocities of bilateral vertebral artery and contralateral ECA are significantly increased to compensate for cerebral blood supply through collateral circulation channels.Color Doppler ultrasonography can reflect this phenomenon more fully and accurately,and provide clinically valuable diagnostic information.

Objective To study the clinical value of nipple discharge detection in the early diagnosis of breast cancer,CA153 ,CEA levels were measured both in nipple discharge and serum. Methods 153 consecutive patients with nipple discharge in Rizhao hospital were studied,among them there were 91 cases with breast cancer and 62 cases with benign disease. The nipple discharged and serum from the 153 cases with nipple discharged were collected and CA153, CEA levels were measured with electrochemiluminescence method. Results The CA153, CEA levels of nipple discharge in breast cancer were significantly higher than the control group(CA153:t =28.949,33.844;CEA:t = 19.773,16.623, all P < 0.01). The positive rate of CA153, CEA in nipple discharge were significantly higher than in the serum (P < 0.05). Conclusion The positive rate of CA153, CEA in nipple discharge were significantly higher than in the serum. The detection of CA153 ,CEA had important value in the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Objective To observe the effects of butylphthalide on the expression of autophagy-related protein and mRNA in l-meth-yl-4-phenyl-pyridiniumion (MPP+)-induced SH-SY5Y cells, and to explore the protective effect and possible mechanism of butylphthalide to the cell model of Parkinson's disease. Methods The SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control group (A), MPP+group (B), rapamycin pre-treated+MPP+group (C) and Butylphthalide pretreated+MPP+group (D). The relative viability of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP+was measured with MTT assay, the morphology of SH-SY5Y cells was observed. The expression of microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-II/I and Beclin 1 protein was detected by Western blotting. And the expression of LC3-II/I and Beclin 1 mRNA were assayed by re-al-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results The viability rates of cells were significantly lower in group B than in group A (t=20.270, P<0.001), and were significantly higher in groups C and D than in group B (t>8.770, P<0.001), however, there was no significantly difference between groups C and D (t=2.270, P=0.064). The expression of LC3-II/I and Beclin 1 was higher in group B than in group A (t>6.647, P<0.01), and was higher in groups C and D than in group B (t>3.630, P<0.01), however, there was no significantly differ-ence between groups C and D (t<2.238, P≥0.05). Conclusion Butylphthalide could prevent the injury of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP+, which may affect Parkinson's disease by inducing autophagy.
