RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical effect and hearing loss of endolymphatic sac decompression(ESD)combined with one or two semicircular canal obstruction(SCO)in treating the patient with stage Ⅲ or stageⅣ Meniere disease.Methods Forty-three patients with stage Ⅲ or stage Ⅳ Meniere disease,who failed to respond to conventional conservative treatment and had the expectation of preserving residual hearing function,were enrolled in the study.They were divided into three groups according to the operation they underwent:ESD combined with lateral and posterior semicircular canal obstruction(ESD+LPSCO)13 cases,ESD combined with lateral semicircu-lar canal obstruction(ESD+LPSCO)14 cases,and ESD only 16 cases.Data of vertigo,ear fullness and tinnitus be-fore and after operation was collected,analyzed and compared.Hearing function before and after the operation was also evaluated.Results The number of vertigo attacks in the three groups(ESD+LPSCO,ESD+LSCO,and ESD)were all significantly reduced after operation.The vertigo control rate were 92.3％,78.6％and 62.5％re-spectively.Compared with pre-operation,the vertigo severity post-operation in the three groups were also signifi-cantly reduced.And the improvement rate of vertigo severity after ESD+LPSCO and ESD+LSCO were both 100％,which were significantly higher than that of ESD(68.8％).The discomfort of tinnitus and ear fullness in the three groups were significantly improved compared with that of pre-operation.The improvement rates of tinnitus in the three groups were 46.2％,50.0％and 43.8％respectively,with no significant difference.The improvement rate of ear fullness in the three groups were 61.5％,57.1％and 50.0％respectively,with no significant difference either.The proportion of patients with decreased hearing after operation in the three groups was 15.4％,7.1％and 18.8％,respectively,and the differences were insignificant.Conclusion ESD combined with one or two SCO can effectively control vertigo and other symptoms of patients with stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ Meniere's disease who had failure to conventional conservative treatment,and can preserve the residual hearing function in considerable extent.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules on blood lipid, carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAA) and plaque in apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE -/-) mice. Methods:The ApoE -/- mice were fed with high-fat food to establish carotid atherosclerosis model. The ApoE -/- mice were randomly by weight divided into model group, Atorvastatin group, low- and high-dose Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules group. The C57BL/6cnc mice were used as control group and fed with normal diet. The Atorvastatin group was given atorvastatin suspension 1.3 mg/kg, low and high dose groups were given Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsule suspension 325 and 975 mg/kg, and the control group and model group were given equal volume of distilled water. The mice were gavaged with 0.1 ml/10 g body weight, once a day, and the weight of mice was recorded weekly. After 12 weeks of continuous intragastric administration, the blood lipid and liver /body weight index of the mice were measured. Carotid arteries were sliced to conduct oil red O staining and VG staining for the pathological analysis. Results:After 12 weeks of drug administration, the weight of mice in the high-dose group was significantly lower than the model group. The level of TC (25.92 ± 4.21 mmol/L vs. 30.39 ± 4.67 mmol/L) and LDL-C (7.97 ± 2.14 mmol/L vs. 10.26 ± 1.97 mmol/L) in the high-dose group significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the level of HDL-C in the low and high-dose group significantly increased ( P<0.05). The pathological results showed that after 12 weeks of administration, the carotid artery lipid deposition blockage rate in the Atorvastatin group and the high dose group were significantly smaller than the model group( P<0.05), and no vascular plaque has been formed. Conclusion:The Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules could reduce LDL-C, increase HDL-C levels, reduce the constriction of arterial stenosis and slow down the formation process of carotid plaque.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of combination of toy and cartoon video-assisted admission in preventing agitation during recovery from general anesthesia in preschool children.Methods:Totally 96 children who undergoing elective surgery from July 2018 to October 2019 in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center were divided into experimental group ( n=48) and control group ( n=48). Two groups were admitted to the general preoperative waiting room for 60 minutes before the operation, and children in the experimental group recieved toy and cartoon video combination intervention, while children in the control group were subjected to routine nursing intervention. The children′s agitation was assessed by using Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) when children entered the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 10 minutes after in PACU and leave PACU. In addition, the vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate of the two groups were also recorded. Results:The emergence time and duration of PACU stay in the experimental group were (17.19±1.76) minutes and (22.47±2.36) minutes, significantly shortern than in the control group (18.36±2.19) minutes and (23.82±2.62) minutes, the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.760, 2.546, P<0.05). 10 minutes after in PACU and out of PACU, the PAED scores, systolic pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate was [7.56±1.86, 4.60±1.19, (108.12±10.19)mmHg, (102.72±8.55) mmHg, (112.91±6.10) times/minute, (106.39±6.75) times/minute, (18.87±1.98) times/minute, (17.49±1.68) times/minute], significantly lower than those in the control group [13.40±1.47, 6.71±2.21, (116.73±14.17)mmHg, (107.62±12.44) mmHg, (121.07±8.07) times/minute, (114.69±5.78) times/minute, (20.96±1.86) times/minute, (18.47±1.63) times/minute], the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.162-16.332, P<0.05). Conclusion:Toy and cartoon video combine-assisted admission can reduce the agitation and stable vital signs during recovery from general anesthesia in preschool children.

Objective To compare the analgesic effect ofHuamoyan Keli(HMYKL) between Kunming mice and BALB/c mice.Methods Eighty Kunming mice and eighty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups, respectively: a control group, a ibuprofen group, a HMYKL high-dose group(13.98 g crude dru g/kg), HMYKL middle-dose group(6.99 g crude drug/kg)and a HMYKL low-dose group(3.50 g crude dru g/kg). There were 16 mice in each group with 8 male mice and 8 female mice. Drugs were administered intragastrically daily for 5 days. After 1 h of drug treatment on day 4, the latency of tail-flick response was evaluated using illuminated pain measurement instrument. After the last drug treatment, pain model was established by i.p. acetic acid, writhing latency and writhing times were recorded to evaluate the analgesic effect of HMYKL.Results In tail-flick test, there was no statistical difference among male and female Kunming mice in the HMYKL groups. Among male BALB/c mice, the latency in HMYKL middle-dose group was significantly longer than that in the control group(4.84±1.16 minvs. 3.93±0.76 min,P<0.05). In writhing test, compared with control group(19.06±6.34), the writhing times among BALB/c mice were decreased in HMYKL high-dose group(8.56±6.19), HMYKL middle-dose group(5.73±3.17), HMYKL low-dose group(6.88±4.59)(allP<0.01).Conclusion All dose groups of HMYKL showed good analgesic effect on the pain induced by chemical stimulation and there was no sex difference. Kunming mice were not suitable for the evaluation of the analgesic pharmacodynamics because of their large individual difference. On contrast, BALB/c mice which had less individual difference could be used to produce the model of pain.
