Objective To study the causes and clinical features associated with hoarseness in children.Meth-ods The data of 4 668 children suffering from hoarseness were analyzed with electronic-nasopharyngolaryngosco-py retrospectively.ResuIts The top 6 common causes of hoarseness were chronic laryngitis (1 817 cases,38.9%), vocal cord nodules (1 494 cases,32.0%),vocal hypertrophy (560 cases,12.0%),the paralysis of vocal cord (373 cases,8.0%),congenital sulcus vocalis (149 cases,3.2%)and recurrent respiratory papilloma disease (140 cases,3. 0%).These six diseases were common in children with hoarseness with 4 533 out of 4668 (97.1%);of the chil-dren were 2 to 10 years old as the largest age group (65.8%,3 072/4 668)and the ratio of male and female was 2. 48:1.The top six diseases were statistically distributed in different age groups (P<0.01).ConcIusion The main causes of hoarseness were different in different age groups.The children aged 2 to 10 years old made up the largest group (3 072/4 668),showing the greatest incidence of hoarseness in children .The incidence for male patients was higher than female and the chronic laryngitis was the top disease.Hoarseness in children was different from that of adults so that to understand the characteristics of this disorder in children will be beneficial to the proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To describe and analyze the clinical characteristics of nasopharyngeal teratoma in infants and improve the levels of diagnosis and treatment to reduce misdiagnosis. METHOD: The clinical data of 11 cases of nasopharyngeal teratoma in infants were reviewed retrospectively and summarized the clinical features. After the preoperative examination of nasopharyngeal endoscopy and imaging (CT or MRI), all patients were under general anesthesia of nasopharyngeal teratoma surgical resection. Of them, 8 cases were used radiofrequency ablation, 3 cases used conventional power systems. RESULT: Eleven cases with neoformation were completely removed, the operation time was 5-15 min, blood loss was 1-5 ml, patients had no significant nasal obstruction, bleeding, eating nasopharyngeal regurgitation, breathing difficulties or other complications. No recurrence was found after 10 months to 9 years followed up. CONCLUSION The nasopharyngeal mass must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of breathing difficulties in infants, especially when it exists together with upper airway obstruction symptoms; The low-temperature radiofrequency ablation with endoscopic had the advantages of short time, precise control, less bleeding, clear operative field, little injury and pain, low recurrence, providing a new clinical treatments.

OBJECTIVE: To classify congenital laryngeal cysts in 62 newborn or infants, and to discuss the characteristics of different operation mode. METHOD: The clinical data of 62 infants with laryngeal cysts treated were reviewed retrospectively. After the examination of neck palpation, laryngoscope and imaging (CT or MRI), all patients were under general anesthesia of laryngeal cyst excision. we select operation mode according to the classification. Classification include: 61 cases of cysts were confined to the larynx, 1 case was beyond the larynx. Surgical managements include: an excision through external carotid approach in 1 case beyond the larynx, 61 cases had endoscopic excision under general anesthesia (12 cases with traditional bite exception, 12 cases with powered system and 37 cases with low-temperature radiofrequency ablation). RESULT: The operations was successful. No recurrence was found after 0.5 to 7 years follow-up. CONCLUSION To chose surgical management after classification and preoperative assessment, which could avoid unnecessary opening surgical approaches, reducing the recurrence, and preventing repeated endoscopic treatment or tracheotomy. The low-temperature radiofrequency ablation had the advantages of short operation time, less bleeding, little injury, low recurrence rate and light postoperative reaction. It is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of anti-nuclear protein B23 antibody in systemic sclerosis. Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to detect the serum antinuclear B23 autoantibody. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the clinical and autoantibody profiles between SSc patients with B23 antibody and those without B23 antibody. Logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the correlation between B23 antibody and clinical manifestations and autoantibody profiles. Results Mann-Whitney U test showed that, forced vital capacity (FVC) diffusion capacity of CO (DLco) in B23 positive SSc was significantly lower than that in B23 negative counterparts, pulmonary artery hypertension was more prevalent in B23 positive SSc patients. While anti-fibrillarin, anti-U1RNP, and antic entromere antibodies were more prevalent in B23 positive SSc. Multivariate logistic regression showed that anti-B23 antibody positivity was an independent risk factor for pulmonary artery hypertension in SSc (OR=123.92, 95％CI 26.67～575.66, P＜0.01), and a protective factor for severe gastrointestinal involvement (OR=0.08, 95％CI 0.01 ～0.70, P＜O.05). Logistic analysis showed that anti-B23 antibody was correlated with antifibrillarin (OR=11.50, 95％CI3.85～34.37, P＜0.01) and anti-U1RNP antibodies (OR=3.43, 95％CI 1.01～11.63, P＜0.05), and correlated with different degree of pulmonary artery hypertension. Conclusion The pulmonary artery pressure should be monitored closely in those SSc patients with a positive B23 antibody.
