The Intratympanic Inflation by Tympanum Inflatable Balloon for Meniere ’s Disease / 听力学及言语疾病杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the intratympanic inflation by tympanum inflatable balloon for patients with Meniere’s disease(MD) .Methods A total of 36 confirmed cases (according to the listening stage) of Ⅱ - Ⅲ period of MD patients were randomly divided into two groups :experimental group and control group ,18 cases of matched group ,who were staged before preoperation by hearing ,Ⅱ period (average threshold 25~40 dB HL) 6 cases ,Ⅲ period (41~70 dB HL) 12 cases ,were treated by intratympanic methylprednisolone per‐fusion after putting tympanostomy tube under endotoscope ,then once every 3 days perfusion with a total of three times .There were 18 cases of experimental group staged before preoperation by hearing ,Ⅱ period (average thresh‐old 25~40 dB HL) in 5 cases ,Ⅲ period (41~70 dB HL) 13 cases treated by using tympanum inflatable balloon in the tympanum under endotoscope .Two groups were given conventional improved microcirculation and nutritional therapy .Results In 18 cases of patients in experimental group ,for the 18 to 24 months follow -up after treatment ,6 cases of vertigo were fully controlled (grade A) ,10 cases of vertigo basically controlled (grade B) ,2 cases of vertigo partly controlled (grade C) .Vertigo effective control rate was 88 .89% (16/18) .After 18 to 24 months treatment ,two groups of 36 patients with tinnitus and pure tone average threshold had no obvious change .In 18 ca‐ses of patients in the matched group ,during the 18 to 24 months follow -up after treatment ,3 cases of vertigo were fully controlled (grade A) ,7 cases of vertigo basically controlled (grade B) ,8 cases of vertigo partly controlled (grade C) .Vertigo effective control rate was 55 .56% (10/18) .The experimental vertigo basic control rates were higher than the control group (χ2 = 4 .985 ,P<0 .05) .The activitives in the two groups had improved significantly . No obvious differences were found between two groups .Conclusion With the intratympanic gasing by tympanum in‐flatable balloon for patients of Ⅱ - Ⅲ Menier’s disease ,control rates was high and motile ability were improved , but tinnitus and hearing improvement was not obvious .

Application of autogenous bone pate for atticus reconstruction and mastoid cavity obliteration in tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the curative effect of autogenous bone pate for atticus reconstitution and mastoid cavity obliteration in canal wall down mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty.@*METHOD@#The 60 patients (60 ears) of cholesteatomatous tympanitis were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty and using autogenous bone pate for atticus reconstitution and mastoid cavity obliteration. The control group only underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty. All patients were followed up for 0.5-2 years. Improvement of hearing and dry ear time in these two groups was retrospectively observed.@*RESULTS@#There are significant difference between two groups in improvement of hearing and dry ear time, according to follow-up and analysis of therapeutic efficacy (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Hearing can be improved, dry ear time can be shorten and correlative complication can be decreased by atticus reconstruction and mastoid cavity obliteration with autogenous bone pate in canal wall down mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty, which guarantees the normal activity space of auditory bone chain.

Effect of isokinetic training on the function recovery of knee meniscus injuries following arthroscope / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation training after sports injury is of so great importance in the remaining and relieving of exercise ability that the researches in thisfield need to develop.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of isokinetic training on the functional recovery of knee flexors and extensors and the muscle force around the joint after knee meniscus injuries receiving arthroscopy.DESIGN: Case-control observation SETTING: Department of Police Training, Liaoning Advanced Police Officer School PARTICIPANTS: A total of 20 patients with acute meniscus injury of lateral knee joint were selected from the Department of Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between September 2004 and January 2005. They were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,including 11 cases respectively. METHODS: All the patients were treated with arthroscope operation, additionally the control patients received routine blocking, physiotherapy and massage, etc. To recover the function. From the 2nd to 4th days postoperative, the patients of experimental group began to carry out the functional rehabilitation, and received isokinetic exercise in both knees flexors and extensors with the Cybex-6000 isokinetic dynamometer 3 weeks later.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak torque values, total work, torque accelerating energy and average power in both knee flexors and extensors at different angular velocities [60, 120 and 180(°)/s].RESULTS: A total of 22 patients were involved in the result analysis.①After arthroscope operation and isokinetic training, the range of joint movement were extended, and the maximum flexion angle changed from (132±25)° to (158±21)°. There were significant differences before and after training by t test (P ＜ 0.01).②The experimental group had statistical significance compare with control group in the test index at 60, 120 and 180(°)/s(P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The arthroscope combining with isokinetic training can speed up the rehabilitation after knee meniscus injury, enhance the muscle force around knee joint and maintain the stability of knee joint and motor ability.

Study on bacteria-inhibiting effect of amino acids / 中国生化药物杂志

Purpose　The aim is to study the inhibiting effect s of nineteen amino acids to E.coli,St.aureus and B.Subtilis.Metho ds　The qualitative inhibition of nineteen amino acids on E.coli ,St.aureus and B.Subtilis was determined using filter papers treated by saturated amino acids placed on the bacteria medium dish.The quantitative inhibi ting effects of the amino acids which were proved to have inhibition to these th ree bacteria were determined in the bacteria LB medium with different concentrations of amin o acids.Results　It was indicated that cysteine was used to in hibit St.aureus.The best inhibiting time was 6 hours,and the optimum of concentrat ion was 0.625% in which the inhibiting rate was 92.62%.Conclusion　 Cysteine could inhibit St. aureus.
