Objective:To investigate prevalent aeroallergens in ChongQing and their sensitization risk factors in children with allergic diseases,especially asthma.Methods:Skin prick tests with 13 standardized aeroallergens and questionnaires were used.A total of 298 patients,aged between 4~15 years and were diagnosed with allergic asthma and or allergic rhinitis,were investigated.Results:The total positive rate of allergen was 84.9%(253/298).The prevalence of aeroallergens were following:the first was house dust mite,cockroach followed,the third one was cat dander;the positive family history of asthma was 69.6%(116/230),asthma and rhinitis accounted for 67.2%(78/116)。Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that house dust mite was an independent risk factors for asthma(odds ratio Value(OR):2.602,95%CI:1.672～7.488),air conditioning had strong relationship with it(OR:1.659,95%CI:1.139～5.942).Conclusion:House dust mite is the major allergen of allergic diseases,especially asthma in ChongQing.Air conditioning is one of important risk factors for house dust mite sensitization.

Objective:To prepare Pingwei dispersible tablets and establish a method for the determination of atractylodin. Meth-ods:HPLC was performed on a Kromasil C18 column(250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm)using methanol-water(75:25)as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was at 340nm. The column temperature was 30℃ and the injection volume was 10 μl. Results:The optimized formula of the tablets was as follows:the proportion of inner disintegrant microcrystalline cellulose,out-side disintegrant carboxymethyl cellulose sodium and HPMC was 40%,9% and 2%,respectively. The adhesive was 2% HPMC in 70% ethanol,and 1. 5% magnesium stearate was used as the lubricant. The linear range of atractylodin was 0. 100 6-0. 503 0 μg(r=0. 999 9),and the average recovery was 99. 3%(RSD=0. 9%,n=6). Conclusion:The formula and the preparation process of the tablets are reasonable and the content determination method is simple,accurate and specific,which can be used in the quality control of Pingwei dispersible tablets.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of kidney stones minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy holmium laser lithotripsy.Methods 397 cases patients with kidney stones were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group,the control group were treated with the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment,and the later group were treated with holmium laser lithotripsy for percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Results The experimental group of taking the net rate was 97.48％,and the time of taking the net rate was 87.15 ％,higher than those of the control group(x2 =14.72,24.78,all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group,the shortened operation time,(t =2.36,P ＜ 0.05),the reducing amount of bleeding (t =3.27,P ＜ 0.05),the shortened length of stay hospital (t =1.28,P ＜ 0.05),low complication rate (x2 =17.06,P ＜ 0.05) took place in the experimental group.Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy holmium laser lithotripsy treatment of kidney stones is safe and effective,fewer complications,faster recovery,which is worthy of promotion.

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is an important subtype of cerebrovascular disease. It is also one of the major reasons for resulting in vascular cognitive impairment or dementia in the elderly. SVD is a small arteriovenous lesion in subcortex caused by a variety of causes, mainly causing subcortical lacunar infarction, white matter damage, microblecds and other pathological changes. There is evidence that vascular endothelial function and blood-brain barrier damage may result in small vessel structures and perivascular changes, which may be the initial factors.of causing SVD. Genetic susceptibility is also one of the risk factors that can not be ignored.

The patients with stroke is often accompanied by malnutrition, its causes include eating less, increased catabolism, and intestinal dysfunction, etc. Malnutrition can not only aggravate the extent of brain damage in patients with stroke, but also increase the incidence of complications, and thus affecting the course and prognosis of stroke. Therefore, correct evaluation of the nutritional status in stroke patients, choosing the appropriate nutrient timing and nutritional support methods have important significance. Among a variety of nutritional assessment methods, the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment can quickly identify malnutrition in stroke patients. Early enteral nutrition support, including oral nutritional supplements, nasogastric tube feeding and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, can significantly improve the prognosis in stroke patients. Among them, nasogastric tube feeding is the first choice for nutritional support in stroke patients.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the hydrolysis of the triglyceride core of circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.LPL can not only affect the lipoprotein level,but also play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis.LPL gene polymorphisms may affect LPL activity,and therefore have both pro-and anti-atherogenic effects.This article reviews the relationship between LPL gene polymorphism and atherosclerosis.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of rehabilitation after cochlear implantation in children with malformed inner ear and compare them with a group of congenitally deaf children implantees with a normal inner ear.METHODS 21 children with inner ear malformation were retrospectively studied. The postoperative outcomes of these 21 cases were compared with that of 21 cases with normal inner ear structure. The assessment of all the children included the hearing levels, language ability , categories of auditory performance (CAP) and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) respectively before cochlear implantation, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. The data was analyzed using SPSS 17.0. RESULTS The results of rehabilitation in 9 children with Large Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome and 6 cases with Mondini abnormality had no significant difference comparing with the control cases. The outcomes of 1case with severe Mondini abnormality and 5 cases with common cavity indicated significant worse than the control cases. CONCLUSION The effect of rehabilitation had no difference between the children with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome and the cases with normal inner structure after cochlear implantation, but was poorer in children with severe Mondini abnormality and common cavity. It was necessary to evaluate the degree of malformation of inner ear structure before cochlear implantation. The hearing abilities have improved quickly 6 months after cochlear implantation. The language abilities will need at least one year to get improved while the SIR need even more time. The development of language functions requires individualized rehabilitation guidance and integrated education.

Posterior capsule opacification(PCO) is a common postoperative complication of cataract surgery.PCO is usually caused by the proliferation,migration,epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT),collagen deposition,and lens fiber regeneration of residual lens epithelial cells(LECs).Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) has been proposed as the most important factor driving the trans-differentiation and pathologic fibrosis of LECs.A variety of studies have elucidated that the Smad signaling pathway plays a critical role in the transduction of TGF-β signal.However,there are still other signaling pathways which may be activated downstream by TGF-β,including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt(PI3 K/Akt),Rho,Wnt and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways.This review highlights recent advances in the study of the signaling pathway of TGF-β in the pathological process of PCO.

Objective To explore the anti-cancer function of old drugs from the perspective of the concept of Chinese herbal nature combination, and provide method and a new thinking style for the new function discovery from old drugs under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods Using lung cancer with qi and yin deficiency as the example, the therapeutic principles of TCM anti-lung cancer treatment were analyzed and Chinese herbal nature combination patterns (CHNCP) for cancer treatment were extracted based on the relationship between function and Chinese herbal nature combination. The chemical medicines were re-screened with the cancer CHNCP and the candidates were identified. Results The therapeutic principle of TCM anti-lung cancer treatment is invigorating qi and nourishing yin. Fifteen chemical medicines were identified as the anti-cancer candidates, including 2 anti-cancer drugs being used in clinics and 4 drugs having the anti-cancer activity. Conclusion The method for finding the anti-cancer function of old drugs based on the Chinese herbal nature combination is feasiable, which provide new clues for application of old drugs.
