Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of beehive extract for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods Sixty qualified subjects were evenly randomized into large dose group and small dose group, 30 in each group. The large dose group was given oral use of beehive extract 15 g per time, and the small dose group was given 5 g per time, three times per day. One week constituted a treatment period, and the treatment lasted 4 courses. After treatment, the therapeutic effect was evaluated in both groups. Follow-up was carried out one month after suspension of medicine. Results ( 1) The total effective rate was 90.00% in the large dose group, and was 93.00% in the small dose group, and the rank sum test results showed the difference was insignificant between the two groups (P>0.05) . (2) After treatment and during follow-up, the scores of general symptom Visual Analog Scale ( Uni-VAS) and the scores of Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire ( RQLQ) were decreased in both groups ( P<0.01) , and the scores of symptoms in the small dose group were increased during the follow-up ( P<0.05) . The results of intergroup comparison showed that the differences of the decrease of Uni-VAS scores, symptom scores, non-nose/eye symptom scores, practical issue scores, nasal symptom scores, eye symptom scores and emotional reaction scores were insignificant between the two groups after treatment and during the follow-up ( P>0.05) . Conclusion Oral use of large or small dose of beehive extract shows certain therapeutic effect for allergic rhinitis by obviously relieving the symptoms of patients. The effect of large dose is similar to small dose, but the long-term effect of large dose is better.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of da Vinci Robot Xi system-assisted single-incision laparoscopic surgery for treating benign ovarian lesions in children and adolescents.Methods From June 2020 to March 2023,13 cases of benign ovarian lesions were operated by using a specially designed 4-channel single-incision laparoscopic device assisted by the da Vinci Robot Xi system.The docking between the da Vinci Robot and the patient was completed,and the affected ovaries were cut open with a non-powered scissors to expose the tumor tissue.The tumor tissue was removed as completely as possible along the edge of the tumor,and an absorbable suture was used to seal the wound followed by restoring the umbilical structure.Results All the 13 cases underwent ovarian benign lesion resection through a single incision in the umbilical region,without conversion to open surgery.The surgical time was 81-246 min,with an average of 161.4 min.The intraoperative bleeding volume was 5-50 ml,with an average of 21.2 ml.During the operation,2 cases of ovarian torsion and 3 cases of ovarian benign lesion rupture(with postoperative drainage tube placement)were found.Postoperative pathological findings showed 9 cases of mature teratoma,2 cases of serous cystadenoma,and 2 cases of simple cyst.The postoperative hospitalization time was 2-7 d,with an average of 4.2 d.There was 1 case of postoperative incision infection who was cured after antibiotic treatment.The follow-up period was 6-36 months,with an average of 21.1 months.No tumor recurrence or complications occurred,and all the patients had hidden scars on the umbilical incision.The patients and their families were satisfied with the postoperative appearance.Conclusion The application of da Vinci Robot Xi system-assisted single-incision laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of benign ovarian lesions in children and adolescents is safe and feasible,which can be considered as an option for treating such conditions.
