Study on the expression of FoxM1 in chronic rhinosinusitis and the effect of inflammatory factors on FoxM1 expression / 中华耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Objective@#To check Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) expression in nasal mucosal of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients and the effect of inflammatory factors on FoxM1 expression, in order to research the significance of FoxM1 in CRS.@*Methods@#From January to October of 2018, 50 patients hospitalized in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were enrolled in this study. Twenty CRS patients with polyps (CRSwNP), 20 CRS patients without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and 10 patients with simple deviation of nasal septum (the control groups) were selected. The expression of FoxM1 in nasal mucosa of these patients was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Meanwhile, HE stain was used to observe the pathologic changes in each sample. By establishing human nasal epithelium cells cultivating model in vitro and identifying via immumofluorescence method, experimental group and control group were set up, then activation factors including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-17, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and staphylococcal entemtoxin B (SEB) were added in the models after stabilizing passage, and qRT-PRC and Western blot method were applied to check the expressing change of FoxM1. Software SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#HE stain showed that the mainly pathologic change in nasal mucosa of CRS patients with or without nasal polyp was mucosal epithelial cells, goblet cell and submucosal gland hyperplasia, accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration. The result of IHC demonstrated that both of the expression of FoxM1 in nasal mucosal tissue of CRS patients in the CRSwNP and CRSsNP groups exceed that of the control group (80% vs 75% vs 20%, χ2 value was 10.000, 8.213, respectively, all P<0.05); there was no difference of expression between the two groups of CRS patients (χ2=0.143, P>0.05). The result of qRT-PCR demonstrated that the expression of FoxM1 mRNA in nasal mucosa of CRSwNP and CRSsNP was increased compared with that of the control group (3.309±1.511 vs 3.261±1.336 vs 1.000±0.774, t value was 4.519, 4.928, respectively, all P<0.05), but the difference between the two groups of CRS patients had no statistic significance (t=0.107, P=0.909). Nasal mucosa epithelial cells cultivating models was established successfully. Q-RT PCR and Western blot were conducted after stimulation of 100 ng/ml IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-17, IFN-γ and SEB for 36 h, and the proteins expression levels of FoxM1 exceeded the groups without stimulation with statistic significance.@*Conclusions@#The expression of FoxM1 in CRS increases and many types of cytokine can induce the increase of FoxM1 in human nasal epithelial cells. FoxM1 may participate in the process of pathogenesis in CRS.

A case of diagnosing and treating the remaining foreign body in nasal sinus and cranium via orbit / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

This paper mainly reports a case with the foreign body staying in nasal sinus and cranium via orbit. CT manifests the foreign body staying in ethmoid sinus and entering the bottom of cranium. After completing the relevant inspection, the patient unerwent right eye exenteration, endoscopic sinus surgery with general anesthesia in emergency to take out the foreign body in nasal sinus, and Cerebrospinal fluid leak repair surgery . Then the patient recovers well, futhermore, the symptom of cerebrospinal fluid leakage doesn't appear after five months follow-up.

Tympanosclerosis etiology and treatment / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Tympanosclerosis is the middle ear tissue hyalinization and calcification caused by chronic middle ear inflammation, which mainly results in conductive deafness with unobvious clinical symptom. Etiology is unclear. The treatment is given priority to surgical treatment at present, while long-term effect reported mostly poor. This article analyzed etiology and treatment of the tympanic cavity sclerosis.

THE TLC UV SCANNING ASSAY FOR TANSHINONE IIA AND CRYPTOTANSHINONE IN YANGXUEZHITONG PILLS / 中药新药与临床药理

The TLC UV scanning assay for tanshinone IIA and cryptotanshinone in Yangxuezhitong pills was built up.Their wave lengths were 260 nm and 255 nm respectively.The regressive equation and coefficient of corelation were Y=40.48+5526.90X,r=0.9995 and Y=-12.91+5640.48X,r=0.9999 respectively.The recovery ratio of cryptotanshinone was(?)=102.62%.This me- thod is simple and convenient,and elicits accurate and reproduceable results.
