Osteoid osteoma was first reported in 1935 by Jaffe. It is a kind of benign bone disease with the limitation of well-defined lesions. It is rarely seen in the periorbital region. The only symptom of the patient was unilateral proptosis of right. The result of MRI examination was cystic masses in the edge of the right orbit. The tumor was complete removed by the nasal endoscopic approach during the surgery. Pathology result was reported as osteoid osteoma. There was no significant complications of diplopia, visual acuity decreased, enophthalmos, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and others.

Objective To investigate the effect of high-voltage electrostatic therapy on chronic migraine. Methods 86 cases who met inclusioncriteria were randomly divided into two groups: high-voltage group (n=43) was treated with high-voltage therapeutic device for 20d. Control group (n=43) was blank control. The recovered cases were followed up for 4 weeks after cessation of treatment. They were assessedwith McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), and their results of laboratory tests were recorded before and after treatment. The data set analyzedincluded Intention-To-Treat, and per protocol. Results The differences between 2 groups were statistically significant in Pain RatingIndex, Visual Analog Score and Present Pain Intensity after treatment (P<0.05). 6 patients in the treatment group and 1 patient in the controlgroup recovered. During the 4-week follow-up, 1 case recured in each group, the intensity of pain was not statistically significant. There wasno difference in the laboratory indice of blood, urine, stool routine, liver and kidney function (ALT, BUN, Cr) and ECG in both groups beforeand after treatment. Conclusion The high-voltage electrostatic therapy is effective and safe on chronic migraine.

Objective To investigate the urinary endothelin-1 (ET-1) excretion and urinary sodium excretion,microalbuminuria and ambulatory blood pressure(ABP) in salt-sensitive(SS) hypertension patients. Methods Twenty-one cases of normotensive subjects and 32 cases of uncomplicated hypertensive patients were recruited in this study. Salt sensitivity was determined by acute venous saline loading test. Before saline loading, 24-hour ABP measurements were performed. Urine samples were collected to assay ET-1 ,urinary sodium excretion and urinary albumin excretion(UAF). Results Compared to slat-resistant(SR) subgroup, SS showed low urinary ET-1 excretion in normotensive group (P<0.05) or hypertensive group (P<0.01) ,regardless of saline loading or not. The nighttime MAP of SS was higher than SR subgroup in normotensive or hypertensive group. Urinary sodium excretion during 4h of saline loading was significantly lower in SS than that in SR hypertensive patients (P<0. 05). Twenty-four-hour UAE of SS patients was higher than SR group (P<0.01). Results of further correlation analysis indicated that the urinary ET-1 excretion was positively related to urinary sodium content and negatively to ABP and UAE. Conclusion Urinary ET-1 is low in SS normotensives or hypertension patients,which may play a role in renal sodium retention and renal impairment of SS hypertension patients.

Aim To observe the effects of the total fla-vonoids of scutellaria barbataon ( TFSB ) on high-fat
feeding ApoE gene deficiency mice in early atheroscle-rosis ( AS ) and its underlying mechanisms. Methods
40 ApoE-/ -male mice were divided into five groups:model group, SIM group and L-TFSB, M-TFSB, H-TFSB group, 5 C57BL/6J mice were selected as nor-mal control group. All mice in experimental group were fed with high-lipid diet for 4 weeks and all mice were killed after 8 weeks. H&E staining was used to observe morphology of aorta. Blood rheometer was used to ex-amine plasm viscosity and whole blood viscosity. Fully automatic biochemical analyser was used to detect the serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C. The ex-pression levels of PLTP and VE in serum were meas-ured by ELISA. The expression levels of PLTP and FXR in liver were examined by Western blot. Results The model was established successfully. TFSB groups could improve the aorta AS morphology of model mice and significantly reduce the serum levels of TG, TC and LDL-C, while increase the level of HDL-C ( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 ) . TFSB groups could decrease the
hematocrit value, plasma viscosity and whole blood vis-cosity of AS model mice significantly and had statistical significance when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . The expression levels of PLTP of serum were reduced significantly when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . We also found that the expression of PLTP was in negative correlation with VE ( r = -0. 675,P<0. 01). M-TFSB and H-TFSB group could decrease the expressions of PLTP and FXR of liver when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . Con-clusion TFSB may exert its anti-AS effect partly through inhibiting the levels of FXR and PLTP of ApoE-/ -mice, increasing the level of VE, regulating blood lipids, improving blood rheology and reducing the damage of AS in mice.

ObjectiveTo evaluate arterial stiffness and its influencing factors in the elderly patients with hypertension and (or) type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsTotally 320 elderly patients were divided into four groups: control,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,coexisting hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Arterial stiffness in ankle and brachial artery was determined by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV).Other factors affecting baPWV were also collected and measured,including age,body mass index (BMI),sex,smoking,blood pressure,pulse pressure,mean arterial pressure,serum fasting blood glucose,lipid profile,glycosylated hemoglobin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP).ResultsbaPWV in the four groups were ( 1667.2 ± 279.3 )cm/s,(2158.6 ±386.9)cm/s,(1881.2±383.8) cm/s and (2165.9± 479.9)cm/s,respectively.The baPWV value was higher in groups of hypertension,diabetes mellitus,and the coexisting diseases than in controls (F=8.473,P<0.05).Diabctic patients had a higher baPWV levels than those without diabetes.There was no difference in baPWV levels between diabetic patients with or without hypertension.Pulse pressure and hsCRP were higher in coexisting diseases group than in control group (P<0.05).Stepwise backward regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose,pulse pressure,mean blood pressure,hsCRP and low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C) were positively related to baPWV P <0.05). ConclusionsHypertension and (or) type 2 diabetes mellitus are important influencing factors for higher arterial stiffness. Hyperglycemia might play more important role in the elderly arterial stiffness.Serum fasting blood glucose,pulse pressure,mean blood pressure,hsCRP,LDL-C may be the independent risk factors of arterial stiffness.

Lactic acid production of twelve strains of LAB isolated from broiler intestine and tolerance property of three strains were investigated. The results of lactic acid production showed that among all strains K6 exhibited the most rapid production during the first twelve hours, the seconds were K9 and C1; D17 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by twenty-four hours, C1 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by forty-eight hours. The pH values in three strains of K9、D17 and C1 culture showed the fast decline during the first twelve hours, with the final values significantly lower than those of other strains cultures. The results of tolerance property showed that the survival counts of C1could be detected when pH value was at 2 after three hours, but the survival counts of D17 and K9 could not be detected after one hour. When pH value was at 2.5 after three hours ,the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.8 /mL, K9 from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.6 /mL, the survival counts of D17 could not be detected. 0.08% bile had few effects on the survival counts of three strains; when incubated in the medium with 0.40% bile, the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.4 /mL to 10~ 6.5 /mL,D17 from 10~ 10.3 /mL to 10~ 7.5 /mL, and K9 from 10~ 9.8 /mL to 10~ 7.7 /mL. When the group treated with 37℃ for 20 minutes was served as the control, the survival counts of C1 and K9 was not detected when treated with 80℃, but the survival counts of D17 were 10~ 4.9 /mL, when treatment with 65℃ the survival counts of C1 and K9 decreased significantly .

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in lung tissue of mice with acute paraquat poisoning, and discuss its pathological mechanism.Methods Fifty-eight healthy male mice were randomly divided into control group (n = 8) and poisoned group (n = 50). The mice in poisoned group were lavaged with 20% paraquat (50 mg/kg), and those in control group with equal amount of normal saline. The mice were sacrificed on the day of experiment in control group, and those in poisoned group at 6 hours and 1, 3, 7, 14 days after poisoning. The lung tissue was harvested to observe the changes in pathology of lung with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The positive expression of HO-1 was determined with immunohistochemistry, and the protein expression of HO-1 was determined with Western Blot. The contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonaldehyde (MDA) were determined.Results The mice showed shortness of breath and signs of exhaustion 1 hour after poisoning, getting worse on 3-5 days, but returned to normal 14 days after poisoning. Under the light microscope, it showed that the control group had no significant pathological changes in lung tissue. One day after the ingestion, pulmonary alveolar structure disorder, obvious hemorrhage, edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells were found. At 3 days, the pathological changes in the lung tissue were more pronounced. They were less pronounced on 7 days, and inflammatory changes disappeared on 14th day, but alveolar structure disorder remained. Immunohistochemical test showed that HO-1 was seldom expressed in the lung tissue, and a little amount was expressed in the mucosal epithelial cells of the airway in control group. It was shown that inflammatory cell and endothelial were mainly distributed in the mucosal epithelial cells of airway 1 day after poisoning followed by a gradually decrease tendence, and came to normal level of control group 7 days after poisoning. It was shown by Western Blot that HO-1 (gray value) in lung tissue increased 6 hours after poisoning (2.438±0.467 vs. 0.475±0.167,P< 0.01), peaked at 1 day (9.200±0.940 vs. 0.475±0.167,P< 0.01), continued to increase till 7 days after poisoning, and it lowered to normal level thereafter (0.825±0.260 vs. 0.475±0.167,P> 0.05). The SOD activity (μU/L) in lung tissue was lowered 6 hours after poisoning, and it was significantly lower than that of control group (649.681±13.951 vs. 1 167.051±15.744,P< 0.01), and it continued to decrease up to 14 days after poisoning (859.733±121.079 vs. 1 167.051±14.744,P< 0.01). MDA content (μmol/L) in the lung tissue homogenate was elevated 6 hours after poisoning with significant difference compared with that of the control group (4.542±0.266 vs. 3.705±0.176,P< 0.01). It peaked on day 1 (5.956±0.281 vs. 3.705±0.176,P< 0.01), then it declined and reached normal level 3 days after poisoning (4.134±0.168 vs. 3.705±0.176,P> 0.05).Conclusion HO-1 expression was increased significantly in lung tissue of mice with acute paraquat poisoning, which may be considered as an important protection mechanism against paraquat poisoning.
