AIM: To observe the efficacy and compliance of cetirizine hydrochloride and pranoprofen eye drops on children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis.
● METHODS: A total of 63 children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis, from the outpatient department in our hospital between Jan. 2014 and Dec. 2015, were randomly divided into two groups including experimental group and control group. The cases in experimental group were treated with cetirizine hydrochloride, 2 times/d, 5 drops (0. 25ml, 2. 5mg) each time (≤6 years) or 10 drops (0. 5ml, 5mg) each time (>6 years), oral or oral with beverage and food, 1g/L pranoprofen eye drops, 4 times/d, 1 drop each time. The cases in control group were only treated with cetirizine hydrochloride, 2 times /d, 5 drops (0. 25ml, 2. 5mg) each time (≤6 years) or 10 drops (0. 5ml, 5mg) each time (>6 years), oral or oral with beverage and food for 14d. All the children were detected the scores of symptom and pathology before and after treatment. Compliance and side effect of the drug were surveyed by questionnaire.
● RESULTS: The scores of symptom, pathology and overall total after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in each group ( texperimental, symptom =10. 41, P < 0. 05; texperimental, pathology = 10. 05, P < 0. 05;texperimental, overal =10. 75, P<0. 05;tcontrol, symptom=8. 11, P<0. 05;tcontrol, pathology=8. 89, P<0. 05; tcontrol, overal =8. 41, P<0. 05). The scores of symptom, pathology and overall total in experimental group were lower than those in control group after the treatment (tsymptom=5. 27, P<0. 05; tpathology=3. 97, P<0. 05;toveral =4. 32, P<0. 05). The effective rate of experimental group ( 85%) was significantly higher than control group (60%) (χ2 =4. 92, P<0. 05). Most of the children ( 94%) had very good compliance. None of children had side effect such as sleepiness and thirst.
● CONCLUSION: Cetirizine hydrochloride and pranoprofen eye drops in combination may offer a safety and effective treatment on children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis and have good compliance.

Objective To observe attenuation and synergy of postoperative chemotherapy combined with Tianzhicao capsule in patients who suffered from breast cancer. Methods 66 cases after radical mastectomy were randomly divided into treatment group 31 cases and 35 cases of control group. The patients of control group were treated with chemotherapies of CAF and TA. Treatment group patients were given Tianzhical capsule orally at the same time. Nausea and vomitting,the arrest of bone marrow before and after treatment were observed. The grade of life quality about every patient was evaluated. Results Myelosuppression and the occurrence of nausea and vomitting in treatment group was obviously lower than control group (P ＜ 0.05). The proportion of improvement and stabilization for the quality of life in treatment group was markedly higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Traditional Chinese drug Tianzhicao capsule had attenuation and synergy to postoperative chemotherapy in breast cancer.

METHODSFrom October 2010 to April 2013,39 children with Monteggia fracture associated with anterior interosseous nerve injury were treated by manual reduction and fixation on buckling rotation backward,including 17 females and 22 males with an average age of 6.3 years old ranging from 3.2 to 11 years old. Among them, 15 cases were on the right side and 24 cases on the left. The course of disease was 40 minutes to 8 days (averaged 1.5 days). There were 7 cases with skateboard injured, 13 cases with stumble injured, 11 cases with falling injured,8 cases with air bed injured. According to Bado classification, 13 cases were type II, 22 cases were type III, 4 cases were type IV.

RESULTSThe distal forefinger showed exercise normally in 34 cases at 3 weeks after treatment, and the patients restored normal activities at 6 weeks after treatment. All patients were follow-up from 54 days to 6 months (averaged 67 days. According to Mayo elbow functional evaluation standard,the scoring result was 19.62±1.35 in activity, 45.00 ± 0.00 in pain, 9.87 ± 0.80 in stability, 25.00±0.00 in strength, 99.49 ±1.92 in total. The outcome of all patients was excellent and good evaluation results.

CONCLUSIONIf the anterior interosseous nerve injury could be identified early and treated timely, patients could gradually restore reasonable function and recover with satisfactory results. Raising understanding of anterior interosseous nerve injury can effectively reduce misdiagnosis.

Cerebrovascular reserve is an important parameter for evaluating cerebrovascular disease,and it has great clinical significance.There are a number of determination methods for cerebrovascular reserve,such as position emission tomography(PET),single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT),Xenon-133 inhalation technique,Xenon CT,perfusion CT, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),transcranial Doppler(TCD),transcranial harmonic perfusion imaging(HPI),near infrared spectroscopy(NIR),and Laser Doppler vibrometry(LDV), however,there have been no unified criteria up to now.The provocation test that makes cerebral blood flow increase includes CO_2 inhalation test,breath holding test,and acetazolamide test,etc. The article focuses the discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of the above determination methods.

Objective:To study the infuence of chemotherapy combined with thymopetidum on cellular immunity of the patients with late gastrointestinal malignant tumor.Method:80 cases in the present study were divided into two groups:treatment group(40 cases treated by thymopetidum and chemotherapy) and controlled group(40 cases treated by chemotherapy only).25 cases without malignant tumors were grouped as a normal group.The activity of T-lymphocyte subgroup and its cytokines as IL-2(Th_1 ) and IL-10(Th2) in the peripheral blood of the treatment group were investigated before the treatment and on the tenth day after the treatment for two cycles.A statistical study was done between the two groups.Result:Before the treatment,T-lymphocyte subset(CD_3~+.CD_4~+ and the ratio of CD_4~+/CD_8~+ ) and IL-2 of the patients with gatrointestinal malignant tumor were lower than those of the normal group.The values of CD_8~+ and IL-10 were obviously increased,compared with those of the normal group.After the treatment for two cycles,CD_3~+,CD_4~+ and the ratio of CD_4~+ /CD_8~+ were higher respectively than those before the treatment in the two groups,and the changes in the tested group were higher than those in the controlled group.IL-2 of the tested group was lower respectively and its IL-10 was higher than before the treatment,but there was no significant difference for the controlled group.The efficiency of the tested group was higher than that of the controlled group.Conclusion:The immunity of T-lymphocyte subgroup was suppressed in the patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor and the expression of Th2 type cytokines was enhanced.The cellular immunity of patients was improved by killing tumor cells and removing the immunosuppressive agents after the chemotherapy together with thymopetidum.

Objective To investigate new cases of endemic cretinism in high-risk areas of Inner Mongolia, the prevalence of endemic goiter, the implementation of comprehensive measures, and to provide scientific basis for developing control strategies against iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Methods In 2007 and 2008, a search for new cretin cases was conducted among children under the age of 10 in 11 historical serious epidemic cretinism prevalent areas of Songshan district, Keshiketeng qi, Kalaqin qi, Zhalaite qi, Zhuozi county,Liangcheng county, Qingshuihe county, Helin county, Dongsheng district, Zhungeer qi and Yinjinhuoluo qi. Three to 5 towns were selected in each qi(county, district) and 3 to 5 village primary schools were selected in each town.One hundred and twenty to 200 children aged 8 to 10 were selected in each school to inspect thyroid by B ultrasound and palpation and to test intelligence and urinary iodine. Two villages were selected in each town and 30 households were selected to determine urinary iodine of housewives and salt iodine. Results A total of 56 cases of suspected cases of endemic cretinism were found from the 11 counties but no case was confirmed. The goiter rate of children aged 8 to 10 was 5.2% (309/5922) by palpation and 4.3% (252/5922) by B-ultrasound. The median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 was 241.5 μg/L, and urinary iodine was 100 to 300 μg/L, accounted 65.9%(3901/5920). Median urinary iodine of the 9 Qis(counties, districts) was in the range of 200 and 300μg/L.Higher than 5% of the 11 Qis(counties, districts) with urinary iodine lower than 50 μg/L was zero. Higher than 10% of the 11 Qis(counties, districts) with urinary iodine lower than 100 μg/L was 1. The median urinary iodine of housewives was 225.6 μg/L, and lower than 50 μg/L accounted for 2.2%(35/1597). Higher than 10% of the 11 Qis(counties, districts) with urinary iodine lower than 100 μg/L was 4. A total of 2109 households were investigated and 97.45%(2055/2109) of them ate iodized salt and 2.55%(54/2109) of them ate non-iodized salt. Conclusions In the 11 investigated counties, goiter rate of children has decreased to less than 10%, and no new cretin was found. It could be concluded that the fulfillment of prevention and control of IDD is effective. The iodine nutrition of children and women of childbearing age is in an adequate level. The coverage rate of iodized salt has maintained at a higher level, the sales network is sound, the salt price is reasonable and salt is easy to get and the children's intelligence is protected effectively. But, the health education about IDD is still weak, need to be reinforced.

OBJECTIVE E-cadherin is a major component of tubular adherent proteins which maintain intercellular contacts and cell polarity in epithelial tissue, it is involved in the pathological process of renal cell carcinoma and fibrotic diseases via epithelial- mesenchymal transition. Although we and others found that expression of E-cadherin was significantly down-regulated in kidney suffered acute kidney injury (AKI), its function in AKI was still unknown, which was explored in the current study. METHODS We disrupted E-cadherin or restored E-cadherin with compound 8J in cisplatin-stimulated tubular epithelial cell lines, the cell damage and inflammation were evaluated, additionally, the thera?peutic potential of E-cadherin restoration was also determined in vivo. RESULTS We found that cisplatin reduced E-cadherin expression both in mouse kidney and tubular epithelial cell lines (mTECs). Adminis?tration of compound 8J restored the level of E-cadherin, thereby increased cell viability while attenuating programmed cell death, which may be mediated by deactivation of RIPK/MLKL axis, reduced membrane translocation of phosphor-MLKL and decreased cleavage of caspase 3. Compound 8J also suppressed inflammatory response in cisplatin- treated mTECs, which was correlated with suppressed NF- κB phorsphorylation and promoter activity. In contrast, disruption of E-cadherin enhanced cell damage and inflammation. Treatment of compound 8J failed to further attenuate kidney damage in E- cadherin knockdown cells, indicating compound 8J protected against mTECs mainly through restoring E-cadherin. We also found that peritoneal injection of compound 8J protected against renal function and tubular damage by preventing NF-κB-driven renal inflammation and RIPK/MLKL-regulated programmed cell death, which was led by restoration of E-cadherin in cisplatin nephropathy. CONCLUSION More than a victim degraded after kidney injury, E-cadherin also has functional role in controlling tubule integrity, programmed cell death and renal inflammation. In this regard, restoration of E-cadherin by compound 8J should be considered as a novel therapeutic strategy for acute kidney injury.
