ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis in Wenzhou area. METHODS Patients with AR symptoms from January 2013 to December 2014 were given skin prick test (SPT). The clinical data about SPT was retrospectively colleceted to analyze SPT results. RESULTS 1. Among 2991 individuals, the total positive rate of SPT was 82.0%, with Dermatophagoides farinae (Der. f) and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der.p) as the most common allergens; the positive rate of inhalant allergen was obviously higher than that of ingestive ones, with significantly statistical difference(χ2=2006.557,P<0.01). Most of patients were allergic to double allergens; the intensity of Der.f and Der.p mainly presented as (++++), with no significant difference(Z=-0.391, P=0.696). 2. There was significant difference of variation with seasons(χ2=34.254, P<0.01). 3. No significant difference of positive rate were observed in different AR-courses(χ2=16.102, P<0.01). 4. Significant difference of positive rate was found among different age-groups; The positive rate was increased along with growing age, got peak at group of 10-12 years old, and then got down after that. CONCLUSION Dust mite was the main allergen coursed AR in Wenzhou area. Seasons and age were two important factors effecting on positive of SPT and onset of AR. The positive rate of allergens was related to age.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of informed consent on emotion and immunologic function in patients with laryngopharynx cancer.Methods Sixty patients with laryngopharynx cancer were divided into group A and group B by random digits table with 30 cases each group.In group A patients were informed consent,and in group B family were informed consent.The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores,as well as cellular immunity function were measured before informed consent and 2 weeks after surgery.Results The SAS,SDS scores and levels of cellular immunity function between two groups,differences was no statistically significant (P > 0.05).The SAS,SDS scores 2 weeks after surgery in group A were significantly less than those in group B [(43.17 ± 7.63) scores vs.(47.84 ± 8.46) scores,(37.43 ± 8.69) scores vs.(42.67 ± 9.82) scores,P < 0.05].The CD3,CD4,NK cells 2 weeks after surgery in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (0.5762 ±0.0941 vs.0.5160 ± 0.0821,0.3832 ± 0.0751 vs.0.3140 ± 0.0561,0.1521 ± 0.0491 vs.0.1163 ± 0.0422,P < 0.05),CD8 and CD4/CD8 between two groups differences was no statistically significant (P > 0.05).Conclusion The informed consent for patients with laryngopharynx cancer may relieve emotional disorders and avoid immunologic function decreasing.
