Objective To identify meaningful objective examination methods by analyzing the results of vari-ous objective examinations of children with recurrent vertigo(RVC).Methods Fifty children with RVC(29 in ver-tigo attacking group,21 in vertigo non-attacking group)and 20 children without RVC were selected.All partici-pants underwent a series of relevant objective examinations,the results of each examination were statistically ana-lyzed and the characteristic differences of each examination between the RVC group and the control group were ob-tained.Results ① The abnormal rate of sleep SpO2,high stimulation rate ABR and AHI in the RVC group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).② The abnormal rate of sleep SpO2 and high stimu-lation rate ABR in the vertigo attacking group were higher than those in the vertigo non-attacking group.There was a statistical difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).③ Pure tone audiometry(or conditioned play audiome-try),acoustic immittance,cranial MRI,positional test and vHIT were normal in both RVC group and normal con-trol group.Conclusion Continuous sleep SpO2 and high stimulation rate ABR are correlated with RVC,especially RVC during vertigo attacking.AHI is correlated with RVC,but not with the onset of vertigo.Clinically,continu-ous sleep SpO2 monitoring,PSG and high stimulation rate ABR can be used as auxiliary examinations for the diagno-sis of RVC.

Objective:To explore the relationship between sleep status and the disease in children with recurrent vertigo（RVC） by analyzing the objective sleep condition of children with recurrent vertigo. Methods:According to the diagnostic criteria of RVC, 50 children with RVC and 20 normal controls without RVC were selected. According to the vertigo questionnaire score, the RVC group was divided into mild, moderate and severe groups according to severity. Continuous polysomnography（PSG） was performed for all participants, and SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to analyze the monitoring results. Results:①There were significant differences in sleep time of each period, total sleep time and sleep efficiency between RVC group and control group（P<0.05）, but there was no significant difference in sleep latency（P>0.05）. The specific manifestations were that the proportion of sleep time in N1 and N2 phases increased, the proportion of sleep time in N3 and REM phases decreased, the total sleep time and sleep efficiency decreased in RVC group. ②The abnormal rate of sleep apnea hypopnea index, that is, the proportion of AHI≥5 times/h and the abnormal rate of lowest blood oxygen saturation in RVC group were higher than those in normal control group. There was significant difference between the two groups（P<0.05）. ③There were significant differences in the proportion of AHI≥5 times/h and lowest SpO2 among mild group, moderate group and severe group（P<0.05）. ④There was no significant correlation between the degree of vertigo and the abnormal rate of AHI in children with RVC, but there was a negative correlation between the degree of vertigo and the abnormal rate of lowest SpO2 in children with RVC. Conclusion:Children with RVC are often accompanied by sleep disorders, clinicians should pay attention to both the symptoms of vertigo and sleep condition in children. Polysomnography is non-invasive and operable, providing a new idea to the auxiliary examination of RVC in children. It is of certain clinical significance for the comprehensive treatment of children with RVC to actively improve vertigo symptoms and pay attention to improving sleep quality.

Objective To compare the efficacy of different sedation depths of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) in vitrectomy.Methods Ninety-six patients of both sexes,aged 40-64 yr,with body mass index ≤ 35 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective vitrectomy,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =48 each) using a random number table:mild sedation group (group Ⅰ) and profound sedation group (group Ⅱ).Anesthesia was induced with iv midazolam 0.02 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.15 μg/kg.Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of propofol 0.5-2.0 mg · kg-1 · h-1 maintaining bispectral index (BIS) value＞80 in group Ⅰ,or with iv infusion of propofol 2-6 mg · kg-1 · h-1 maintaining BIS value at 65-80 in group Ⅱ.The occurrence of unexpected head movement,SPO2＜90％,snoring,and oculocardiac reflex during the procedure,postoperative nausea and vomiting,and the time when the patients in supine position were turned to prone position were recorded after surgery.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the incidence of unexpected head movement,SpO2 ＜90％,and snoring was significantly increased,and the time when the patients in supine position were turned to prone position was prolonged (P＜0.05),and no significant difference was found in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and oculocardiac reflex during the procedure in group Ⅱ (P＞0.05).Conclusion Mild sedation of MAC (BIS value ≥ 80) provides better efficacy than profound sedation (BIS value 65-80) when used for vitrectomy.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of cinacalcet in the treatment of hemodialysis pa-tients with secondary hyperparathyroidism,and provide evidence-based reference for the clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from Medline,Cochrane Library,EMBase and CBM,randomized controlled trials(RCT)about cinacalcet in the treatment of he-modialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3.5 software after data extract and quality evaluation by Cochrane systematic Rev Man 5.3.5. RESULTS:Totally 7 RCTs were en-rolled,involving 1 987 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed cinacalcet can significantly reduce the rate of surgical parathyroid-ectomy[RR=0.23,95%CI(0.06,0.89),P=0.03],incidence of fracture[RR=0.26,95%CI(0.12,0.60),P=0.002] and increase the incidences of hypocalcemia[RR=9.81,95%CI(3.92,4.59),P<0.001],nausea[RR=1.97,95%CI(1.58,2.46),P<0.001] and vomit-ing[RR=1.91,95%CI(1.50,2.42),P<0.001],while it showed no significant effect on the the incidence of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death. CONCLUSIONS:The clinical efficacy of cinacalcet in the treatment of hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism is good,but there are common adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting,hypocalcemia.

The magnamosis device for stage-one repair of the rectovaginal tistula consists of two arc magnets. Drawing the interrupting thread along the fistula margin via the vaginal side, and pulling the string to arrange the magnets at the fistula base along the long axis of the vagina, we made the magnamosis device automatically clipped to seal the fistula. After removing the threads we kept the device for 2-4 weeks till the natural detachment of it when the compressed tissue in between healed after vascular necrosis. This device utilizing the unique ability of magnamosis to fulfill anastomosis under inflammatory infected state reduces the current high relapse rate and colostomy drawbacks of the conventional rectovaginal neoplasty.
