目的观察鼻窦方冲洗联合穴位针刺治疗对慢性鼻窦炎鼻内镜术后患者鼻黏膜功能形态恢复、相关炎性因子水平的影响。方法将2015年9月—2017年9月丹东市第一医院收治的148例慢性鼻窦炎鼻内镜术后患者随机分为2组,对照组74例给予激素吸入治疗,观察组74例在此基础上给予鼻窦方冲洗联合穴位针刺治疗,2组均治疗4周。对2组患者治疗前后血清白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、IL-5、IL-6及IL-17水平及主观症状评分、鼻内镜评分(Lund-Kennedy)、鼻窦炎疾病特异性生存质量量表(SNOT-20)评分进行分析,并统计2组患者术后并发症发生率和术后1年复发率。结果观察组治疗后主观症状评分、息肉评分、水肿评分、鼻漏评分、SNOT-20评分均明显低于治疗前及对照组(P均<0.05),瘢痕评分和结痂评分均明显高于治疗前及对照组(P均<0.05);2组治疗后血清IL-1β、IL-5、IL-6、IL-17水平均较治疗前显著降低(P均<0.05),且观察组治疗后以上指标水平均显著低于对照组(P均<0.05)。观察组术后并发症发生率和术后1年复发率均显著低于对照组(P均<0.05)。结论鼻窦方冲洗联合穴位针刺可促进慢性鼻窦炎鼻内镜术后鼻腔黏膜修复,下调血清IL-1β、IL-5、IL-6、IL-17表达,有助于改善患者生活质量,降低术后并发症和远期复发风险。     

PGT-A preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies and embryo selection in routine ART cycles: Time to step back?

Embryo aneuploidies may be responsible for implantation failures, miscarriages and affects IVF outcomes. A variety of technologies have been implemented to individuate euploid embryos in IVF treatments, which is named preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A). According to this strategy, a better embryo selection should increase IVF results. In reality, several issues remain unaddressed including the sampling strategy, involving the test outcomes, and the frequent occurrence of embryo mosaicism, affecting the criteria for selection of supposed viable embryos and possibly posing an ethical dilemma. Safety issues are in place, including perinatal and postnatal consequences of embryo sampling and the epigenetic weaknesses from a prolonged in vitro culture, necessary for trophectoderm biopsy. On the other side, chromosome number mistakes are progressively recognized as physiologic events in the early pre-implantation embryo with many corrective mechanisms in place and their destiny in the post-implantation development is unclear. Accordingly, the increasing precision of the diagnostic tools should be used to investigate the effect of such interventions within rigorous research programs in the sake of improved clinical outcomes. Meantime the diagnosis of embryo aneuploidies in IVF cycles should be considered as a research tool and systematic implementation in clinical practice may appear unjustified.

Excitability of motor and sensory axons in multifocal motor neuropathy

ObjectiveTo assess excitability differences between motor and sensory axons of affected nerves in patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN).MethodsWe performed motor and sensory excitability tests in affected median nerves of 20 MMN patients and in 20 age-matched normal subjects. CMAPs were recorded from the thenar and SNAPs from the 3rd digit. Clinical tests included assessment of muscle strength, two-point discrimination and joint position.ResultsAll MMN patients had weakness of the thenar muscle and normal sensory tests. Motor excitability testing in MMN showed an increased threshold for a 50% CMAP, increased rheobase, decreased stimulus-response slope, fanning-out of threshold electrotonus, decreased resting I/V slope, shortened refractory period, and more pronounced superexcitability. Sensory excitability testing in MMN revealed decreased accommodation half-time and S2-accommodation and less pronounced subexcitability. Mathematical modeling indicated increased Barrett-Barrett conductance for motor fibers and increase in internodal fast potassium conductance for sensory fibers.ConclusionsExcitability findings in MMN suggest myelin sheath or paranodal seal involvement in motor fibers and, possibly, paranodal detachment in sensory fibers.SignificanceExcitability properties of affected nerves in MMN differ between motor and sensory nerve fibers.
