Objectives To evaluate the influence of cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) to the endothelial function and lipid oxidative status of the Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) patients. Methods Thirty-five coronary patients (female 5 cases, male 30 cases, mean age 59.5±8. 6 years) who needed CABG operation therapy were included. The control group consisted of 20 health volunteers (female 5 cases, male 15 cases, mean age 49. 5 ± 7.3 years).Blood samples were taken at preoperative, 3 and 7 days postoperative. Serum von Willebrand factor (vWF) level, one of the endothelial dysfunction markers,and oxidized low density lipid (OxLDL) level, one of the lipid oxidization status markers were detected with ELISA kits. Results The levels of vWF and OxLDL in CABG patients' serum were elevated significantly compared with those of control group ( 139.60% ± 34. 39% vs 82. 79% ±13. 89% and 63. 7 ±18. 9U/ml vs 25.4± 15.2U/ml respectively). Three and 7 days after CABG significant increases in the vWF level (194. 30% ±37. 74%; 181.07% ±31.05%vs 139.60% ±34.39% at baseline, P<0. 0001, respectively) and OxLDL level (79. 3±26. 7U/ml; 72.4±23.1U/ml vs 63.7±18. 9U/ml at baseline, P<0. 01, respectively) were detected. Conclusion Compared with normal people, the endothelial system of CABG patients is impaired, and their lipids are in a more oxidative status. CABG procedure with CPB can further deteriorate the conditions, which may imply that the patients are predisposed to acute coronary accident shortly are the procedure.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the prognosis of Draf II b surgery in treating fontal sinus inverted papilloma.
METHOD:
A retrospective study was carried out among 15 patients diagnosed as fontal sinus inverted papilloma, which had underwent endoscopic Draf II b surgery. The clinical success rate and surgical success rate were calculated by survival analysis.
RESULT:
In all patients, there were 1 (6.67%) recurrence,1 (6.67%) stenosis, 4 (26.67)% complete closure, and 1 (6.67%) mucocele cyst. The 3-year clinical success rate was 93.3%, and the 3-year surgical success rate was 65.0%.
CONCLUSION
Draf II b surgery is feasible when the frontal sinus inverted papilloma is involved in the area of the pupil center line, and the frontal neo-ostium stenosis or complete closure is a common complication after surgery. Thus a close follow-up is recommended during the first year after the surgery. Further study is necessary to find a better way to reduce the complication rate.

OBJECTIVETo validate the discharge, inflammation, polyps/edema (DIP) scoring system for the assessment of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) outcomes in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
METHODSThirty patients with CRS were included in this prospective study. All patients were evaluated before and 2 months after surgery. Baseline measures and postoperative outcomes were evaluated using sino-nasal outcome test-20 (SNOT-20), visual analogue scale (VAS) symptom score and Lund-Mackay CT score (in baseline only). All endoscopic videos were recorded before surgery and in the end of follow-up. All videos were scored blindly by two rhinologistis using the DIP and Lund-Kennedy system for investigating the inter-rater and test-retest reliability, as well as the correlations with the existing subjective and objective scoring systems.SPSS17.0 software was used to analyze the data.
RESULTSThe average scores of VAS, SNOT-20, Lund-Kennedy, and DIP before and after surgery were listed below. Baseline, 29.73 ± 13.05, 24.43 ± 13.76, 7.70 ± 3.25 and 32.67 ± 13.48. Post-surgical, 13.60 ± 8.67, 10.40 ± 7.45, 5.03 ± 2.04 and 16.97 ± 8.37. All scores were declined significantly from baseline (t value were 7.43, 6.49, 6.88 and 10.93, all P < 0.001). The DIP system showed a higher inter-rater and rest-rest reliability than Lund-Kennedy system (interclass coefficient,ICC > 0.75). The Pearson analysis revealed that VAS scores were significantly correlated with SNOT-20 scores both in baseline and post-surgical assessments (r = 0.518 6, P = 0.003, and r = 0.546 7, P = 0.000). Before surgery, Lund-Kennedy scores were significantly correlated with DIP and Lund-Mackay CT scores (r = 0.937 5, P = 0.000 and r = 0.748 0, P = 0.000). DIP scores were significantly correlated with Lund-Mackay CT scores (r = 0.712 2, P = 0.000). After surgery,DIP scores were significantly correlated with Lund-Kennedy scores (r = 0.869 6, P = 0.000). But there were no significant correlations between subjective scores (VAS and SNOT-20) and objective scores (Lund-Kennedy, DIP and Lund-Mackay CT), (all P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe DIP scoring system shows substantial inter-rater and test-retest reliability.It is also significantly correlated with existing objective scoring parameters. It is suitable and reliable to use.

ObjectiveTo analyze the mental health status and its influencing factors in middle school students under the regular prevention and control of COVID-19, so as to provide references for the intervention and management of their mental health problems. MethodsFrom March 7 to 21, 2021, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 19 352 students from 17 schools in 3 districts and 9 counties of Linyi City, Shandong Province. Basic data were collected through a self-designed questionnaire. All students completed the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) to assess their mental health status. Then the factors affecting the mental health status of middle school students were screened using independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA test and multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results① A total of 6 350 (32.81%) middle school students were found to have mental health problems. ② Each SCL-90 factor score and total average score yielded statistical difference among middle school students of different genders, relationships with classmate, closeness to friends, concerns about the epidemic, and pressure exerted by schoolwork (P<0.01). Each SCL-90 factor score and total average score of middle school students were significant different in terms of the hours of smartphone usage for recreation per day, sleep duration per night in hours and exercise frequency (P<0.01). ③ Multiple stepwise regression analysis denoted that female gender, poor relationship with classmate, no close friend and long hours of smartphone usage for recreation were the risk factors for mental health of middle school students (β=0.096, 0.183, 0.064, 0.232, P<0.01). ConclusionThe prevalence rate of mild mental health problems is quite high among middle school students under the regular epidemic prevention and control. Additionally, female gender, poor relationship with classmate, no close friend and long hours of smartphone usage for recreation have a negative impact on middle school students' mental health.
