[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo analyse the levels of serum IGF-1、IGFBP-3 in children with obstructive sleep apnea hyponea syndrome (OSAHS).METHODS50 children with OSAHS and 10 healthy children were enrolled in this study. According to the respiratory disturbance index (AHI). Serum IGF-1、IGFBP-3 of children were determined and the results were analyze.RESULTSSerum level of IGF-1 had significant statistical differences between severe OSAHS group and controls (t=4.275,P<0.05). Serum level of IGFBP-3 had no significant statistical differences between OSAHS children and controls (P>0.05). Serum IGF-1 of severe OSAHS children was negatively correlated with AHI (r=-0.505,P<0.05). Serum level of IGF-1 in moderate and severe OSAHS children were positively correlated with lowest average blood oxygen saturation (r=0.61, 0.553,P<0.05). Serum level of IGF-1 in OSAHS children had no significant correlation with SWS sleep (P>0.05). Serum level of IGFBP-3 in OSAHS children had no significant correlation with AHI, lowest average blood oxygen saturation and SWS sleep (P>0.05).CONCLUSION Serum levels of IGF-1 in children are more easily affected by OSAHS than serum level of IGFBP-3. Growth retardation of children with OSAHS may be related to the decrease of IGF-1 concentration.

OBJECTIVE:
To discuss the clinical characteristics, imaging findings, surgical treatment and effectiveness of faciocervical lipomas in children.
METHOD:
Twenty children with lipomas who were performed surgical resection under the tracheal intubation anesthesia, of which 3 cases located in face and 17 cases located in neck were retrospectively analyzed. Computed tomography (CT) was used in 8 cases and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 6 cases for differential diagnosis. CT and MRI were used to diagnose 6 patients pre-operatively.
RESULT:
The image of computed tomography (CT) revealed that 15 cases showed oval and flat circular area and 5 cases showed lobulated lesion. The CT value was negative typically. The signal was inhomogeneous in MRI. The patients' magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presented a high signal intensity on T1 and T2WI. The hyperintense signal can be suppressed in fat-suppression T2WI sequence. The hypointense of tumor signals fell in tandem surrounding adipose tissue. All the patients got satisfied curative effect after operation. There were no complications such as trachyphonia, bucking and dyspnea. Following up for 6 months to 2 years,no recurrence case occurred.
CONCLUSION
Lipomas generally occur in adult patients, quite rare in children. Imaging examination is helpful in the differential diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical resection is the only effective treatment for lipomas at present.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the nasal sinus development and discuss the relation between sinusitis and nasal development.
METHOD:
One thousand seven hundred and five healthy children and 1424 children with sinusitis were selected randomly. All children underwent naso sinus computer tomography. Sagittal, coronal and transverse diameters of all sinuses were measured and statistically analyzed.
RESULT:
The measured sinus diameters of children with sinusitis were longer than that of healthy children (P < 0.01). Pearson analyses revealed a low correlation of age and the history of sinusitis (P < 0.01), and no correlation of gender and the history of sinusitis. There was moderate to high consistency between clinical diagnosis and nasal CT results about sinusitis (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
These results demonstrated that the differences of sinus development exist between the healthy children and children with sinusitis, and the sinus development in children with sinusitis were better than that of healthy children.
