OBJECTIVE To compare the effect and safety of coblation plasma surgery and beclomethasone dipropionate nasal spray in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis. METHODS A stratified,randomized,controlled trial of surgery and medicament was performed in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis. A total number of 102 patients were involved in the trial,including 56 cases with swelling of inferior turbinate,28 cases in surgery group,28 cases in medicament group; and 46 cases without swelling of inferior turbinate,23 cases in surgery group,23 cases in medicament group. Coblation plasma surgery was performed in all surgery groups. Each patient was given 50?4?2 ?g/d of beclomethasone dipropionate nasal spray in all medicament groups,Treatment time was 3 months. The symptom scores (SS)and visual analogue scale(VAS)were recorded. RESULTS Effect assessment showed that both methods had significant repressive effect on allergic symptoms,the effect of surgery group was better than that of medicament group at the 14th day,28th day and 3th month in cases with swelling of inferior turbinate. Difference between the surgery group and medicament group in cases without swelling of inferior turbinate had no statistic significance. CONCLUSION Both coblation plasma surgery and beclomethasone dipropionate nasal spray are effective to treat perennial allergic rhinitis. But coblation plasma surgery is better than medicament in cases with swelling of inferior turbinate.

Objective To explore the immunoregulatory and lethal effects of natural killer T lymphocytes(NKTs) in vitro .Meth‐ods The mixed lymphocyte cultured(MLC) system was established ,in which the B16F10‐luc‐G5 cells were set as target cells ,the total lymphocyte cells were set as effector cells .(1)In the experiment on immunoregulatory effects ,NKT lymphocytes or CD4+CD25+ T lymphocytes were set as regulating cells ,there was three groups ,including the NKT group ,CD4+CD25+ T group and pure target cell control group .Otherewise ,the 1640 blank control group was set by only adding RPMI1640 solution .(2)In the ex‐periment on antitumor effects ,the NKT or natural killer(NK) lymphocytes were set as killer cells ,there was three groups ,inclu‐ding the NKT group ,NK group and pure target cell control group .Mixed culturing 24 ,48 and 72 hours ,the bioluminescence of target cells in MCL system was detected by using the in vivo imaging system .Results (1)In the experiment on immunoregulatory effects ,there were statistically significant differences in measured average photon numbers between NKT group ,CD4+ CD25+ T group and the two control groups(P<0 .05) .The statistically significant differences were also found in the NKT group between 24 hours and 72 hours (P<0 .05) .(2)In the experiment on antitumor effects ,there were statistically significant differences in meas‐ured average photon numbers ,when the NKT group and NK group were compared to the pure target cell control group(P<0 .05) .

Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease( GERD)that does not respond satisfactorily to standard proton pump inhibitor is defined as refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease( rGERD). Combined therapy is used to treat rGERD, however,the addition of baclofen is rarely studied. Aims:To investigate the efficacy of baclofen combined with esomeprazole and mosapride on rGERD. Methods:Seventy-two patients with rGERD from March 2013 to April 2014 at the First Hospital of Putian City were enrolled and randomly divided into group A and group B. Patients in group A were orally administrated with esomeprazole 20 mg bid + mosapride 5 mg tid + baclofen 5 mg tid. Patients in group B were treated with esomeprazole 20 mg bid + mosapride 5 mg tid. The treatment course was 8 weeks. The efficacy on symptoms, esophagitis under endoscopy and adverse effects were compared between the two groups. Results:After 8-week treatment, score of heartburn,regurgitation,retrosternal pain,dysphagia and overall symptom were significantly decreased in the two groups than before the treatment. The overall symptom alleviating rate was significantly higher in group A than in group B (90. 6% us. 70. 0%;χ2 =4. 585,P=0. 032). Esophagitis under endoscopy in the two groups was significantly improved, the effective rate was significantly higher in group A than in group B(93. 8% us. 75. 0%;χ2 =4. 500,P=0. 034). The main adverse effects of baclofen were somnolence,dizziness and fatigue,all the patients were well tolerated. Conclusions:Baclofen combined with esomeprazole and mosapride is an efficient option for rGERD.

Objective To study the CT findings of dermoid cyst of the orbit.Methods Four cases of dermoid cyst of the orbit proved by operation and pathology were presented. There were three cases of male, one case of female, age 6～21 years. Transverse CT scans(3 mm slice) and coronal CT scans(5 mm slice) were obtained, in which enhancement study was done in two cases.Results Among four cases, lesion was located in the right on three cases, in the left on one case. All lesions were located outside the muscle of upper-lateral guarter. One lesion was showed a multi-lobular shape, with widening of the frontozygomatic fissure and protruding to outside of the orbit. Three lesions were found anoval shape, in which one lesion was showed a bony sclerosis and thickening, another two cases were showed no bony change. On all cases, the edge of the lesions were demonstrated clearly, in which three cases were low-density(-140～-80 HU) similar to fat density, and one case with heterogeneous density. The lesion was showed more clearly on enhancement study on two cases.Conclusion CT findings of dermoid cyst of the orbit is characteristic and the diagnosis can be made before operation.

BACKGROUND: Compared with the metal screws, absorbable screws have more obvious advantages, such as does not have to conduct internal fixation removal, non-metal ic components, no influence on the magnetic resonance imaging of patients after implantation, relatively simple operations, namely dril ing-tapping-screws fixation, more in line with the principles of minimal y invasive in orthopedics. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biomechanical characteristics of absorbable screw fixation in repair of simple lateral mal eolus fractures by means of finite element technology. METHODS: The three-dimensional model of simple lateral mal eolus fractures and absorbable screw model were established, and then fixed according to standard orthopedic surgical techniques. The reference load when the load bearing of fibulotalar joint reaching the peak value in a normal adult gait cycle was loaded. The stress distribution and displacement of fibula and absorbable screws were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were total y 38 542 units, 8 790 nodes in the single screw fixation model. When the articular facet of lateral mal eolus loading 300 N, the maximum stress of screws was 89.35 MPa, the maximum displacement was 0.5 mm, the maximum displacement of the distal fracture was 0.5 mm. When the articular facet of lateral mal eolus loading 450 N, the maximum stress of screws was 152.58 MPa, the maximum displacement was 0.59 mm, the maximum displacement of the distal fracture was 0.77 mm. There were total y 43 115 units, 9 496 nodes in the double screws fixation model. When the articular facet of lateral mal eolus loading 300 N, the maximum stress of screws was 38 MPa, the maximum displacement was 0.44 mm, the maximum displacement of the distal fracture was 0.44 mm. When the articular facet of lateral mal eolus loading 450 N, the maximum stress of screws was 66.68 MPa, the maximum displacement was 0.48 mm, the maximum displacement of the distal fracture was 0.49 mm. The experiment verified the biomechanical feasibility of absorbable screw fixation in repair of simple lateral mal eolus fractures. For simple involving only the lower lateral fibular fracture, absorbable screw fixation is entirely feasible, and usual y requires at least two screws to maintain the stability of the articular surface of the reset.

Objective To investigate the role of natural killer cells (NK cells) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods Blood samples and liver biopsies from 108 CHB patients including 43 mild, 28 moderate and 37 severe CHB patients were collected. The levels of interferon (IFN) gamma in liver tissues and peripheral blood were detected by intracellular cytokine staining.The data were analyzed by t test. Results The levels of IFN gamma produced by NK cells in liver tissues and peripheral blood of patients with severe CHB were (8. 12±4. 26) % and (4. 59±2. 95) % ,respectively, which were significantly higher than those in patients with mild CHB [(3. 53±1. 56)%and (2. 26±0.61)%, respectively; t=3. 80 and t = 4. 30, respectively; both P<0. 05] and those in patients with moderate CHB [(4. 59±1. 98)% and (2. 48±1. 05)%, respectively;t=2. 62 and t =3. 28, respectively; both P<0. 05]. While there were no differences of IFN gamma produced by NK cells both in liver tissues and peripheral blood between mild and moderate CHB patients (t=0. 99 and t=1. 27, respectively; both P>0. 05). The levels of IFN gamma produced by NK cells in liver tissues and blood samples in severe phase of severe CHB were (10. 02 ± 4. 15)% and (6. 78 + 2. 91)%, respectively, those in recovery phase were (6. 13±2. 01)% and (3. 13± 1. 52)%, respectively (t = 1. 89 and t=1. 74, respectively; both P<0. 05]. Conclusion NK cells may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of severe CHB.

Objective To investigate the effects of bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin on endothelial function and inflammation in patients with coronary slow flow (CSF). Methods Ninety CSF patients treated from August 2014 to October 2015 were randomly divided into control group, statin group and combined group, thirty cases in each group. The control group was given conventional therapy (aspirin 100 mg/d and isosorbide mononitrate 60 mg/d), statin group was given rosuvastatin 10 mg/d on the basic of control group, while the combined group was given bisoprolol 5 mg/d on the basic therapy of statin group. The serum concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1(ET-1), high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. The improvement of patients with angina pectoris was evaluated. Results After eight-week treatment, the NO levels were significantly increased in combined group and statin group, while the ET-1, hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased than those before the treatment (P<0.05). At the same time, comparing with the statin group and control group, the NO level was increased in combined group (P<0.05), while the ET-1, hs-CRP, and IL-6 levels decreased significantly (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the effective rates between the combined group (90.0%) and the statin group (83.3%), which were higher than those in control group (56.7%). Conclusion Bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin can improve the endothelial function and anti-inflammatory in the treatment of CSF.
