RESUMO
Objective To investigated the effects of IL -18 on middle ear allergic inflammation in rat model of OME .Methods Eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into three group :group A(control group ,n=12 ears) , group B (OME model group ,n=12 ears) ,group C (IL -18 injectiion group ,n=12 ears) .The rat model of OME was established by sensitizing with ovalbumin (OVA) and later challenging in tympanic bullae .Recombinant rat IL-18 (1 μg ,+0 .2 ml saline ,) were injected in group C at 1 ,2 ,7 ,8 ,15 ,16 day .At the same time sacle ,0 .2 ml sa-line ,instead of IL -18 ,were intraperitoneal injection in group A and B .The morphologic changes of the middle ear epithelial cells and inflammatory cells infiltration were observed under light microscope .The level of IFN -γand IL-4 in tympanic lavage fluid(TLF) were determined by ELISA .Results Pathological examination showed that middle ear mucosa inflammation and eosinophil infiltration in group C were no less severe than group B .The numbers of neutrophils in group C increased significantly compraring with group B (P0 .05) ,while significantly greater than that in group A (P0 .05) .Addtionally ,there was no significant difference in the ratio of Th1 /Th2(IFN -γ/IL -4)between group B and group C (P>0 .05) . Conclusion IL -18 acts as an immune regulatory factors ,significantly increases Th1 cytokine IFN -γ.Although to some extent alleviate the OME rat middle ear Th1 /Th2 imbalance ,there is still excessive activation of Th cells . Th1 and Th2 cells factor are excessive for the secretion disorder of the immune response status .The OME rat mid-dle ear allergic inflammation has not been fundamentally alleviated ,the underlying mechamism should be further studied .
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#This study investigated the effects and Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRS) of using absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet and expansion hemostatic sponge together nasal packing in the control of epistaxis with blood disease, and compared it with traditional vaseline gauze.@*METHOD@#Ninety-six blood disease patient with epistaxis were enrolled between January 2009 and February 2011, they were divided into two groups at random, and differently treated with absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet and the vaseline gauze nasal packing for haemostasis. Then haemostasis efficacy,the hemorrhage rate after nasal packing removed and host response, such as nasal pain and headache, which evaluated pain degrees against NRS, were all observed.@*RESULT@#There was no significant difference between the two groups of the haemostatic effect. But the hemorrhage rate of treatment group was obviously lower than that of the control group after paching,in addition, host responses, such as nasal pain and headache, remarkably better than the control group, the difference had statistical significance.@*CONCLUSION@#It is indicate that absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet presents reliable hemostasis effect, good biocompatibility and compliance; the pain and headache caused by packing are superior to vaseline gauze. Moreover, this method avoids the direct touch of vaseline gauze with nasal mucosal wound, and reduce hemorrhage after packing. Absorbable shanching satin rb-bFGF prepreg sheet and expansion hemostatic sponge together is better to select the nasal packing material for blood disease patient with epistaxis.
