ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the correlation between number of tissue eosinophils(Eos) and blood Eos levels in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP), and to investigate if tissue and blood eosinophilia predicts disease severity and prognosis in CRSwNP. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 102 patients, who diagnosed with CRSwNP was carried out in this study. Surgical specimens were evaluated for degree of tissue Eos, which was compared with blood Eos. Patients were divided into two groups according to the results of endoscopy one year after surgery: recurrent and non-recurrent group. Statistical analysis was performed to compare tissue and blood Eos and CT Lund-Mackay scores. RESULTS Blood and tissue Eos in recurrent group was significantly higher than that in non-recurrent group(P=0.032, 0.033, 0.017). There was not a statistical difference of CT scores between two groups(P =0.089). There was a significant correlation between tissue Eos and absolute number of blood Eos(r=0.637, P=0.000) as well as between tissue Eos and percentage of blood Eos(r=0.542, P=0.000). However Eos and CT scores were not correlated statistically(P>0.05). CONCLUSION Blood Eos levels can predict the degree of Eos infiltration in nasal polyps. Blood and tissue Eos correlate with prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the application effect between the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer and the method of traditional serological .Methods Using the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer and the method of traditional serological , respectively ,the samples of blood donors in Dongguan from October 1 ,2013 to April 30 ,2014 were performed irregular antibody screening .The positive samples of screening were identified by using antiglobulin method ,and the irregular antibodies of blood do‐nors were analyzed .Results There were 95 positive cases of irregular antibody by the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer , and the detection rate was 0 .208% .There were 16 positive cases of irregular antibody by the method of traditional serological ,the detection rate was 0 .035% ,and there was statistical significance in differences (P< 0 .05) .The positive coincidence rate of the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer was 56 .547% ,higher than the rate of the method of traditional serological which was 28 .571 % (P<0 .05) .The positive rate of irregular antibody was 2 .242% in RhD‐negative blood donors ,higher than the rate in RhD‐positive blood donors which was 0 .198% (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The positive rate of irregular antibody in blood donors i‐dentified by using the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer is higher than the rate identified by using the method of tradition‐al serological .The irregular antibody screening should be performed for RhD‐negative blood donors .The types of irregular antibody in blood donors are mainly the types of IgM which are no clinical significance .
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the effects of intravenous anesthesia in painless esophagoscopy for extraction of foreign bodies in the esophagus.@*METHOD@#Forty-two patients underwent painless esophagoscopy, and extracted the foreign bodies in the esophagus.@*RESULT@#Thirty-two cases had their foreign bodies extracted smoothly and no serious complication occurred,the other 10 cases were mucosal injuries of esophagus with no obvious foreign body.@*CONCLUSION@#Intravenous sedation with propofol in extraction of foreign bodies in the esophagus can relieve the suffering and adverse reactions, and it is safe, quick, comfortable and effective for extraction of foreign bodies in the esophagus and is worthy to be applied in the clinic.

Objective To investigate the NAT(nucleic acid amplification technique)-HBV/HCV results among single ALT(+)blood donors,in order to provide theoretical basis of optimizing strategy for blood screening.Methods A total of 28 800 samples,from December 2006 to December 2007,were studied retrospectively.ALT was tested by rate method.HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA in single ALT(+) samples were detected via NAT-HBV/HCV.The relationship between positive ALT values and ELSIA-HBV/HCV OD values was analyzed.Results A total of 2 516 ALT(+) cases were found in 28 800 samples.Of these ALT(+)cases,8 positive cases were found via NAT-HBV/HCV,including 5 HBV-DNA(+) and 3 HCV-RNA(+) cases.The positive rates of NAT-HBV/HCV for the donors with ALT values ≤80 U/L were significant lower than those with ALT values≥81 U/L(P
