Clinical comparative study of different kind of hormone delivery regimen in the treatment of patients with chronic secretory otitis media / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the clinical effects and safety differences of endoscopic hormone injection by tympanic membrane puncture and eustachian tube in the treatment of patients with chronic secretory otitis media.Methods From January 2015 to September 2016,90 patients with chronic secretory otitis media in Zhoushan Hospital were chosen.They were randomly divided into two groups according to the digital table.The tympanic membrane puncture group (65 patients) was treated with hormone injection by tympanic membrane puncture and the eustachian tube group(65 patients) was treated with endoscopic hormone injection by eustachian tubeThe total clinical effective rate,the bone conduction threshold value in 1 kHz,2kHz,4kHz and 8kHz,the ETDQ-7 score and the levels of laboratory index before and after treatment,the secondary tympanic effusion rate and the recurrence rate with follow-up of both groups were compared.Results The total clinical effective rate of the tympanic membrane puncture group and eustachian tube group were 77.78％ and 93.33％,respectively.The total clinical effective rate of the eustachian tube group were significant higher than that of the tympanic membrane puncture group (x2 =9.84,P ＜ 0.05).The bone conduction threshold value in l kHz,2kHz,4kHz and 8kHz of the tympanic membrane puncture group after treatment were (10.42 ± 1.60) kHz,(12.86 ± 2.50) kHz,(16.09 ± 2.81) kHz,(15.26 ± 2.68) kHz,respectively.The bone conduction threshold value in 1kHz,2kHz,4kHz and 8kHz of the eustachian tube group after treatment were (9.75 ± 1.36) kHz,(11.13 ± 2.02) kHz,(14.82 ± 2.44) kHz,(13.78 ± 2.11) kHz,respectively.The bone conduction threshold value in 1kHz,2kHz,4kHz and 8kHz of the eustachian tube group after treatment were significant lower than those of the tympanic membrane puncture group and those before treatment(t =3.10,3.56,3.29,3.96,2.87,3.15,2.91,3.28,2.67,2.81,2.78,2.50,all P ＜ 0.05).The ETDQ-7 scores of the eustachian tube group after treatment were significant lower than those of the tympanic membrane puncture group and those before treatment(t =3.31,3.87,2.89,all P ＜ 0.05).The levels of laboratory index of the eustachian tube group after treatment were significant higher than those of the tympanic membrane puncture group and those before treatment (t =3.36,3.77,3.71,4.02,2.83,3.06,all P ＜ 0.05).The secondary tympanic effusion rate and the recurrence rate with follow-up of the eustachian tube group were significant lower than those of the tympanic membrane puncture group(x2 =9.87,12.33,10.67,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with endoscopic hormone injection by tympanic membrane puncture,endoscopic hormone injection by eustachian tube in the treatment of patients with chronic secretory otitis media possess the advantages including relieve the clinical symptoms,improve the bone conduction threshold and eustachian tube function,regulate the laboratory indexes and reduce the risk of recurrence and effusion.

Clinical analysis of 42 autoimmune epilepsy patients with autoantibody / 中华神经科杂志

Objective To analyze the characteristics of clinical manifestation, brain magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) and 18 F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography ( FDG-PET ) , inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) , electroencephalography ( EEG ) , and associated tumour in autoimmune epilepsy ( AE) patients with different autoantibodies. Methods Forty-two patients diagnosed as AE with different autoantibodies in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University between May 2014 and May 2017 were recruited. The clinical manifestation, brain MRI and PET, CSF findings, EEG and biochemical examination of these patients were analyzed. Results Specific autoimmune antibodies were detected in 42 patients, including anti-amphiphysin in one patient, anti-contactin-associated protein 2 in two, anti-γ-aminobutyric acid-B receptor in six, anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1(LGI1) in 24, anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor ( NMDAR ) in nine. The case series of 42 patients had an average age of (49. 9 ± 14. 5) years with a male to female ratio of 5:1. Except anti-NMDAR associated AE, most patients (21/33) presented with the symptoms of limbic encephalitis including temporal lobe seizures, memory decline, personality and neuropsychiatric changes, mesial temporal lobe abnormality in MRI or FDG-PET, and CSF inflammation. The seizure semiologic characteristics included frequent seizure, short seizure duration and common secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures during sleeping. Faciobrachial dystonic seizures and hyponatremia were the special clinical manifestation of AE with anti-LGI1. AE patients with all kinds of antibodies presented as initial resistance to anti-epilepsy drugs ( AEDs) and favorable outcome of immunosuppressive treatment in combination with AEDs. Conclusions AE patients with each type of antibody have the special clinical manifestation. Except anti-NMDAR associated AE, the seizure semiologic characteristics often present as frequent and short seizures. All AE patients present as drug refractory epilepsy initially. Seizures in AE patients can be well controlled by immunotherapy combined with AEDs.

Combination of neuroprotective agents inhibited neuron apoptosis in focal ischemic area of rat with MCAO / 基础医学与临床

Objective To investigate the protective effect of therapy with different combined neuroprotective agents.Methods Using suture occlusion technique,the right middle cerebral artery in rats was occluded.All animals were randomly assigned before surgery to following groups: control group,FDP-treated group,MK-801-treated group,NAC-treated group,combination-treated group and sham operation group.The apoptosis of neurons was detected with TUNEL stained.The expression of caspase-3 was detected with immunohistochemistry and Westernblot.Results After(6) and(24 h) of cerebral ischemia,both apoptosis of neurons and the expression of caspase-3 in the combination-treated group were significantly decreased than those in single agent group(P

Effect of neuroprotectant agent combined with cocktail on expression of anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2 in rats after focal cerebral ischemia / 中华预防医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate whether the protective effect of therapy with different combined neuroprotectant agents was better than that of single agent on focal cerebral ischemia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The right middle cerebral artery in the rats was occluded with suture occlusion technique. The rats were divided into five groups treated with FDP (50 mg/kg, n = 10), MK-801 (1 mg/kg, n = 10) and NAC (150 mg/kg, n = 10) singly, or in combination, respectively, by intraperitoneal infusion 30 minutes after vessel occlusion. The rats were weighed and assessed neurologically, based on a 5-point scale, six and 24 hours after focal cerebral ischemia. The expression of anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2 was observed with SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis and Western blot technique.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The optical density of bcl-2 increased more distinctly in the rats treated with combined neuroprotective agents than that with any single agent six and 24 hours after cerebral ischemia, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Treatment with combined neuroprotectant agents could un-regulate the anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2 more distinctly than that with any single agents. Combined use of neuroprotectants might be more effective than that of single agent in protecting rats' brain from ischemia.</p>
