Objective To investigate the outcome of powered laryngeal shaver for papilloma of the larynx in children by laryngeal endoscopy. Methods Thirty-nine children with papilloma of the larynx were treated by powered laryngeal shaver under a laryngeal endoscope. Twenty-seven of the patients who had an extensive tumor received radiofrequency to avoid hemorrhage and adhesion of the surgical surface. Results The mean operation time was (11.2?2.6) min, and the blood lose was less than 30 ml. Three months after the operation, 28 of the patients were fond of their voice quality. Among the 39 patients, 37 were followed up for 2-5 years, during which 3-year recurrence rate was 51% (19/37). In the children with primary patients, the rate of recurrence was 30% (3/10), and in those with recurrent tumor, the rate was 59% (16/27). Conclusions By using powered laryngeal shaver under a laryngeal endoscope, papilloma of the larynx can be accurately resected with low blood loss, short operation time and short hospital stay and confirmed effectivenss.

Methods Fifty-one patients with laryngeal precancerosis, which was diagnosed pathologically, were treated with microresection combined with radiofrequency ablation under laryngoscope and rigid telescope. The patients were followed up for over 6 months. Results During a mean of 26-month follow-up (6 months to 4.5 years), 7 of the patients had recurrence (vocal cord leukoplakia in 3, atypical hyperplasia in 2, and laryngeal papilloma in 2); 4 had carcinomatous change (vocal cord leukoplakia in 1, atypical hyperplasia in 2, and laryngeal papilloma in 1);and 2 patients developed laryngeal web after surgical treatment for bilateral vocal cord leukoplakia. One month after the operation, the Jitter, Shimmer, and NNE were decreased significantly (P

Objective To investigate the changes of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) complicated by myocardial ischemic injury. Methods Forty neonates with HIE ( 16 cases with concurrent myocardial injury and 24 cases without) were enrolled. Twenty healthy neonates were used as control. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were measured using enzyme immunoassay. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography. Results ( 1 ) The mean plasma NT-proBNP levels in patients with myocardial injury[(350 ± 56) pmol/L]were significantly higher than those in patients without myocardial injury[(135 ± 37 ) pmol/L]and in the control group [(117 ±23) pmol/L](P ＜0. 05). (2) The NT-proBNP levels in mild,moderate and severe HIE neonates were ( 132 ±34) pmol/L, (247 ±43) pmol/L and (343 ±53) pmol/L. Compared with the control group,the NT-proBNP levels in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE significantly increased. There were significant differences in the NT-proBNP levels among the mild, moderate and severe HIE neonates ( P ＜ 0. 05 ).(3) In patients with myocardial injury,the NT-proBNP levels significantly decreased in the convalescent phase [(250±78) pmol/L]compared with those in the acute phase[(350±56) pmol/L](P ＜0.05). (4) The NT-proBNP levels were significantly related with left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusion Plasma NT-proBNP levels increase in neonates with HIE complicated with myocardial ischemic injury in the acute phase.Detection of NT-proBNP levels maybe useful in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemic injury and severe HIE.
