Objective To investigate the treatment effect and some related fators of the improved lacrimal duct flushing technique for the adult patients with chronic dacryocystitis in the primary hospital.Methods Fifty -seven adult patients (fifty -seven eyes) with chronic dacryocystitis received the improved lacrimal duct flushing treatment.Fifty -seven patients were divided into two groups according to the first time to see a doctor and receive the improved lacrimal duct flushing treatment cooperated with drug application and assistant therapies.The effect and safety of the treatment and some related factors were analyzed.Results There was no statistical difference between the overall efficency of the two groups(A group 76.2%,B group 72.2%,χ2 =0.108,P =0.987 >0.05).The innero-cular pressures showed no statistical difference between pre -treatment and 1 month after treatment(the pre -treat-ment innerocular pressure:18.470,the post -treatment innerocular pressure:18.512,t =-0.315,P =0.754 >0.05).The correlation analysis between the conditions of lacrimal passages and treatment effect(r =0.814,r2 =0.663,P =0.002 <0.05),between the germiculture of the discharge of lacrimal sac and treatment effect(r =0.814, r2 =0.663,P =0.000 <0.05) showed statistical significance.Conclusion The improved lacrimal duct flushing technique cooperated with drug application and assistant therapies is safe and well effective to the adult patients with chronic dacryocystitis in the early stage.
3.Advances in functions of calmodulin in Alzheimer's disease
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2017;36(3):340-343
Calmodulin,as an important signaling regulatory protein,widely exists in eukaryotic cells and participates in a variety of physiological activities.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a typical neurodegenerative diseasemostly affecting the old people.Senile plaques (SP) caused by amyloid protein deposition and neurofibrillary tangles (NTF) caused by over-phosphorylation of Tau protein in the brain are the two major neuropathological hallmarks of AD.Neuronal apoptosis induced by dysregulation of calcium homeostasis also plays a significant role during this pathological process.Recent studies have found that calcium and its downstream receptor,calmodulin,are closely associated with the pathogenesis and progress of Alzheimer's disease.This article reviews the current development and the latest research progress on the effects of calmodulin on β-amyloid protein generation and deposition,neurofibrillary tangle formation,synaptic plasticity in AD around the world,comprehensively discusses the role of calmodulin in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2003;0(11):-
Objective To report the first case of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome in China. Methods The clinical data, transmission electron microscopic examination and immunohistochemical analysis of this patient were evaluated. Results The patient was a 3-year-old girl who presented increased skin fragility with trauma-induced, blisters and erosions, combined with short and sparse hair, finger-and toe-nail dystrophy and palmoplantar keratoderma. Transmission electron microscopy showed a loss of keratinocyte-keratinocyte adhesion, widening of intercellular spaces and a reduced number of hypoplastic desmosomes. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a complete absence of staining for plakophilin 1. Conclusion Ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease characterized by clinical manifestations as well as electron microscopic features and immunohistochemical evidence.

BACKGROUND:Whether a long-term use of acid-suppressive medication for over 3 years can increase the risk of fractures, remains controversial.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y review the effect of acid-suppressive medication on fracture risk.
METHODS:Clinical trials about the relationship of acid-suppressive medication use and risk of osteoporosis-related fractures were searched in MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMbase, and CNKI database. We also manual y searched some published and unpublished references. Study selection and assessment, data col ection and analyses were undertaken by two reviewers independently. The Cochrane Col aboration’s RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analyses.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After a comprehensive search, 11 original clinical trials were included in this meta-analysis, including 3 nested case-control studies, 5 case-control studies, and 3 cohort studies. Patients with fractures were more likely than controls to have previously received supply of proton pump inhibitors [odds ratio (OR)=1.29, 95%confidence interval (CI) (1.18-1.41), P<0.001]. The meta-analysis did not find a significant difference in the patients who received H2 receptor antagonists [OR=1.10, 95%CI (0.99-1.23), P=0.34]. A long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with an increased risk of fracture in elderly persons already at a risk for osteoporosis.

Objective Our aim was to investigate the association between sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL)and mean platelet volume (MPV)values,in order to evaluate the etiology of SSHL.Methods This study included 40 patients with SSHL in our ward between Jan.2012 and Jan.2014 and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were included as controls.The correlation among the levels of the number of platelets,mean plate-let volume(MPV),platelet distribution width (PDW)was evaluated in the two groups.ResuIts The platelet count was significantly lower in the SSHL than the control group(212.0±47.9 versus 237.8±46.2 ×109/L).MPV and PDW were significantly higher in SSHL(10.9±0.8 versus 10.3±0.8 fL;12.9%±2.0% versus 12.0%±1.3 %). The SSHL patients were divided two subgroups:the mild-moderate subgroup (hearing loss 25~70 dB)and the se-vere subgroup(hearing loss≥70 dB).The MPV values were insignificantly different between the two subgroups(11. 0±1.1 fL versus 10.8 ±1.0 fL).Compared to the control group,the two subgroups had both significant differ-ences in MPV.ConcIusion High MPV values are a risk factor for thrombotic vascular diseases.Considering the in-creased MPV levels,SSHL appears to be characterized by ischaemic or thrombotic events.
