Objective To explore the changes of the peak pressure of tympanogrom in the first year before and after radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) and observe its effect to audition.Methods Acoustic immittance and audiometry were used to detect 64 ears of NPC patients at regular intervals (before, during,at the end of rediotherapy and 6,12 months after radiotherapy). The data were collected and analyzed with statistic methods. Results There were 9 ears with secretory otitis media after radiotherapy. The peak pressure of tympanogrom of other 55 ears was negative at the beginning of radiation, reached highest at the end of radiotherapy,the average was -30(-100, 5.0) daPa.Compared with the peak pressure of tympanogrom before radiation, there was significant statistic difference ( P =0.001). The peak pressure reached to the level of pre-radiation 12 months after radiation, 5.0(-2.5,10.0) daPa. The 2.0 kHz audiometric threshold of bone conduction was 21.4?5.7 dB in 55 ears, compared with the audiometric threshold before radiation, there was evident statistic difference (P

Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the infection characteristic of Toxoplasma gondii (TOX),Rubella virus (RV),Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Herpes simplex virus Ⅱ type (HSV-Ⅱ) (TORCH) infection in neonate in Tianjin area.Methods TOX-IgM/IgG,RV-IgM/IgG,CMV-IgM/IgG and HSV-Ⅱ-IgM/IgG were detected in serum of 2 273 neonate during 2015~2016 with enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The positive rates of TOX IgM,RV-IgM,CMV-IgM and HSV-Ⅱ-IgM were 0.00%(0/2 273),0.00%(0/2 273),0.88%(20/2 273) and 0.00%(0/2 273),respectively and those of TOX-IgG,RV-IgG,CMV-IgG and HSV-Ⅱ-IgG were 3.65% (83/2 273),86.45% (1 965/2 273),95.82%(2 178/2 273) and 8.27%(188/2 273),respectively.There was 0.66% percent (15/2 273) of examinees who were infected by none of TORCH pathogens.There existed significant statistical difference for positive rate between TOX-IgG,RV-IgG,CMV-IgG and HSV-Ⅱ-IgG (x2 =6.747,P =0.000) with consequence of the highest positive rate being CMV-IgG.The positive rates of TOX-IgG and CMV-IgM in neonate of 2016 were significantly less than those in 2015 (x2 =5.789~7.505,P=0.006~0.016) but that of HSV-Ⅱ-IgG of 2016 was statistically higher than that in 2015 (x2 =6.073,P =0.014).The positive rate of CMV-IgM in male neonate in 2015 was significantly higher than that in 2016 (x2 =5.054,P =0.025).As a whole the positive rates of TOX-IgG,RV-IgG,CMV-IgG and HSV-Ⅱ IgG had no differences between different years,so did those between gender groups (x2 =2.23~6.963,P=0.073~0.526).The positive rates of TOX-IgG,RV IgG,CMV-IgG and HSV-Ⅱ-IgG in female neonate in 2015 were statistically different from those in 2016 (x2 =8.247,P =0.041).The female neonate in 2015 had higher infection proportion of TOX-IgG compared with that in 2016 (x2 =6.992,P=0.008).TORCH infection detected in 2 273 cases of neonate had one pathogen infection and multi-pathogen infection with overall six patterns of TORCH infection and all infection patterns had no relationship with year and gender,respectively (P>0.05).Conclusion RV and CMV were primary pathogens in TORCH infection for neonate in Tianjin area and there were recent infections by CMV.TORCH infection varied in different years and gender groups,which provided experimental data and basis for epidemiology and prevention of TORCH in neonate.

To investigate whether HIV3B and HIV Ada-M can infect cultured human dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, organotypic and dissociated human fetal DRG cell culture models were established. On the 14th day, organotypic cultured DRG explants were exposed to HIV3B or HIV Ada-M for another 14 days. Outgrowth and morphology of neurites were observed with phase contrast microscope at different time of cultured age. On the 3rd day, dissociated cultured DRG cells were exposed to HIV3B or HIV Ada-M for another 3 days. After that, dissociated DRG cells were processed for microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) labeling and observed with fluorescent microscopy. DRG explants on the 28th day and dissociated DRG cells on the 6th day, the samples were processed for electronic microscopic observation. Both organotypic and dissociated DRG cultures were cultured continuously in culture media as controls. Immature HIV-like particles were found in organotypic cultured DRG neurons. Many HIV-like particles were found in dissociated cultured DRG neurons. HIV infection could not cause morphological and ultrastruc( )l alterations on both organotypic and dissociated cultured DRG neurons. These discoveries will be valuable for studies on pathogenic (mee)hanisms of HIV infection and/or HIV associated peripheral neuropathies.

To investigate the effects of didannsine(ddI)on the morphological alterations of dorsal root ganglion(DRG)neurons,dissoci-ated DRG cells from rat embryo were studied.DRG cells were cultured for 3 days and then treated with ddI for additional 3 claysin differ-ent concentrations(1μg/ml,5 μg/ml,10μg/ml and 20 μg/ml,respectively).Afarthat,DRG cells were processedformicrotubule as-soeiated protein 2(MAP2)labeling and observed under confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM).The results showed that both thenumber and length of neurites of the DRG cells after exposed to ddl significantly down-regulated in a dose-dependentmanner compared withcontrol group,thus suggesting that ddI may have inhibitory effects on neufite regeneration and outgrowth in dissociated DRG cultures.

Objective To compare and analyze the index variation of Yang deficiency mice induced by hydrocortisone in different way of administration and dose. Methods The mice model of Yang deficiency were induced by low dose and high dose hydrocortisone(12.5 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg) in two ways of intramuscular and intraperitoneal injection. The symptoms, body weight, the average intake, the index of stress and the coefficient of sex organs and immune organs of animals were observed. Results In the way of intraperitoneal injection, the weight(24.52±3.29)g, body temperature(35.24±0.32)℃ of high dose of model group were significantly lower than that of control group(31.10±6.11)g,(37.02±0.64)℃. The average intake of low dose group(4.30 ± 0.29)g/(per?d) was lower than control group(7.38±0.53)g/(per?d), and the coefficient of preputial glands(0.10±0.02), penis(0.15±0.03), thymus(0.12±0.03)were lower than that of control group. In the way of intramuscular injection, the average intake of high dose group(5.92±2.01)g/(per?d) was lower than control group(8.60±1.33)g/(per?d). The body temperature(34.90±0.22)℃ and the time of swimming in low temperature (34.00±22.41)s of low dose model group were lower than that of control group(36.43±0.91)℃, (67.17±21.93)s, and the coefficient of thymus of two model groups(0.10±0.02),(0.11±0.06)were lower than that of control group. Conclusion Various dose and model establishment methods of Yang deficiency mice have different the time of symptom appearing, the degree of symptom and sensitive index.
