OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of enhanced immunosuppressive therapy in the treatment of refractory nephrotic syndrome (RNS). METHODS:Totally 76 RNS patients were selected from 2 hospitals during Jan. 2012-Mar. 2015,and then divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 38 cases in each group. Two groups were given Prednisone acetate tablet 50 mg,qd;decreasing to 15 mg,qd,after urine protein returned to normal. Based on it,control group was given Leflunomide tablets 50 mg,qd;decreasing to 20 mg,qd,3 days later. Based on con-trol group,observation group was additionally given Mycophenolate mofetil dispersible tablet 750 mg,bid;decreasing to 500 mg, qd,3 months later. Both groups were treated for 6 months. Clinical efficacies,follow-up recurrence rate as well as renal function in-dexes and inflammatory cell factors before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The total response rate of observation group(92.11%)was significantly higher than control group(73.68%),and fol-low-up recurrence rate(5.26%)was significantly lower than control group(23.68%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Be-fore treatment,there was no statistical significance in renal function indexes or inflammatory cell factors between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,24 h urinary protein quantification,urinary IL-6 and IL-8 levels of 2 groups decreased significantly,while the content of serum protein increased significantly;the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the content of serum creatinine between 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). The incidence of ADR in the control group and the observation group was 34.21% and 44.74% respec-tively,without statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Enhanced immunosuppressive therapy in the treatment of RNS can improve renal function,reduce inflammatory reaction and long-term recurrence risk,and have good therapeu-tic efficacy and safety.

Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) i-gel used in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 21-64 yr, weighing 4590 kg, undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery, were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 30 each):LMA i-gel group (group Ⅰ) and LMA Supreme group (group S) . Mallampatti test was performed before operation in both groups. Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion of propofol (target plasma concentration 2.5-4.0 μg/ml) and remifentanil (target plasma concentration 3-6 ng/ml) . After the patients lost consciousness, rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg was given to facilitate the LMA insertion. LMA i-gel and LMA Supreme were inserted in I and S groups respectively. A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of the LMA. In group S the air was injected into the cuff to make intracuff pressure reach 60 cm H2O after successful LMA insertion. The LMA placement time, the number of attempts of LMA insertion, the number of attempts of gastric tube placement, the airway sealing pressure, the parameters of hemodynamics and ventilation, and complications (sore throat, odynopliagia,hoarseness) were recorded. The fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores were assessed after successful LMA placement. The anesthesia time and recovery time were also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the anesthesia time, recovery time, LMA placement time, fiberoptic bronchoscopy scores and the parameters of hemodynamics and ventilation between the two group. The success rates of LMA and gastric tube placement were 100% in both groups. The airway sealing pressure was significantly higher, while the incidence of sore throat and odynopliagia was significantly lower in group I than in group S. Conclusion LMA i-gel provides adequate ventilation during operation with fewer complications and can be used effectively for gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Objective: To study stress distribution and displacement by different distract directioos on mandibular corpus with finite element method. Methods:A three-dimensional finite element model of mandibular distraction osteogenesis was established.Von Mises stress as well as the displac ement of gnathion and gonion under different loads were measured. Result s:The stress and displacement were positively related with distract forc e. Von Mises stress primarily accumulated in distracted areas and were higher un der bilateral distraction parallel to the occlusial plane. Gnathion and gonion w ere positively displaced on X and Z axes and negatively displaced on Y axis. Distraction parallel to the mandibular body induced positive displaceme nt of mandible on X and Y axes and negative on Z axis. Concl usion:Transversal displacement to the opposite side is greater during un ilateral distraction, while displacement on the saggittal plane is greater durin g bilateral distraction.
