OBJECTIVE:
To observe the effect of bronchial lavage (BL) on infant bronchial foreign bodies with pneumonia during the bronchoscopic surgery, and assess its clinical value.
METHOD:
One hundred and twenty-three cases aged between 1-3 years were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n=58) underwent rigid bronchoscopic retrieval of foreign bodies under general anaesthesia, and the BL group (n=65) received an additional BL using 1% lidocaine (2 ml) with 1:100000 epinephrine, and 0.125% metronidazole (5 ml) during the bronchoscopic procedure. We compared intraoperative complications and postoperative recovery time between the two groups.
RESULT:
The incidence rate of complications in the BL group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). An earlier recovery after surgery was achieved in the BL group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Intraoperative BL is a safe and effective therapy for reducing the incidence of complications and improving the recovery in infant patients of bronchial foreign bodies with subsequent pneumonia.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical manifestations and treatments of retro-esophageal space abscess.
METHOD:
The clinical data of 27 cases with retro-esophageal space abscess were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty-one cases (77. 78%) were secondary to acute injury of esophageal meatus caused by foreign bodies. 2 cases (7. 41%)were secondary to old foreign body infection in retro-esophageal space, 3 cases (11. 11%) after secondary to pharyngeal abscess, and 1 case (3. 70%) was unknown to etiology. All patients were confirmed by sectional medicalimageology. Six cases(Conservation group, C group) were treated conservatively and 6 cases (Oropharyngeal incision group, OI group) were performed with oropharyngeal incision drainage. 15 cases(Extra-neck incision group, ENI group)were performed with extra-neck incision and vacuum sealing drainage.
RESULT:
In C group, 6 cases were cured with conservative therapy and the average hospital stay was 15. 6 days. In OI group, 5 cases were healed with oropharyngeal drainage but aspiration pneumonia complicated with septic shock occurred in 2 cases, and 1 case dead from septic shock secondary to mediastinum and lung abscess. The average hospital stay was 18. 8 days. In ENI group, 15 patients were cured with extra-neck drainage without complication and the average hospital stay was 9. 5 days.
CONCLUSION
The main causes of retro-esophageal space abscess are foreign body injury of upper esophagus and remnant of retro-esophageal space. Sectional medicalimageology can be of important value of diagnosis and treatment for displaying the retro-esophageal space abscess and other deep cervical fascia space sufficiently. Incision and vacuum sealing drainage via extra-neck is an effective therapy while oropharyngeal drainage is less effective and is not advocated as a primary treatment because of aspiration pneumonia complication . Conservative cure is a choice for patients without dyspnoea and background diseases, and it is necessary to recognize and treat severe complications early.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Most of ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously, but some of them (about 20%) need endoscopic or surgical removal. The aims of this study were to characterize the clinical features associated with foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract and to determine the clinical factors for their successful removal by endoscopic techniques. METHODS: We analyzed retrospectively 209 cases of foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract at Chonnam National University Hospital between May 1998 and May 2003. RESULTS: Foreign bodies were found in 97.1% (203/209) of the cases during endoscopic procedure. The types were chiefly fish bones (21.2%), coins (14.8%), meats (11.3%), and bezoars (8.9%). The locations were upper esophagus (49.8%), stomach (26.6%), lower esophagus (11.3%), and mid-esophagus (7.4%). Endoscopic removal was successful in 93.1% (189/203) of the cases, and surgical removal was successful in 8/203 (3.9%) of the cases. Age (p=0.015) and short duration of impaction (p=0.015) were the independent factors to predict the successful removal of the foreign bodies by endoscopic techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract is an effective and safe procedure. Foreign bodies are more successfully removed by endoscopic techniques in children or in cases of short duration of impaction.

Objective:
To explore the treatment of penile incarceration with a metal ring.
METHODS:
Based on our experience in the successful management of a case of penile incarceration with a metal ring by coiling and bloodletting from the corpus cavernosum, we reviewed the relevant literature and analyzed the indications, advantages and disadvantages of different methods for the treatment of penile incarceration with a circular foreign body.
RESULTS:
The clamping and cutting methods were non-invasive, fast, effective, and with few complications, which could be applied to the treatment of penile strangulation at all levels. However, clamping was not desirable enough for a hard metal ring and the cutting method took a longer time and might increase the risk of unnecessary damage to the penile skin, urethra and cavernous body. Prepuce edema decompression and the thin tube-coiling method, with the advantages of minimal invasiveness, simple operation and no need of special tools, were suitable for penile strangulation injury under level 3, but might cause penile skin injury and potential postoperative erectile dysfunction. Surgical resection, as an invasive procedure, could be applied to severe penile strangulation at level 4 or 5.
CONCLUSIONS
The principle for the treatment of penile incarceration with a circular foreign body is to remove the foreign object as soon as possible and not to add secondary damage.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the etiology and clinical manifestation of hemoptysis in children.
METHODA retrospective analysis was performed for 106 cases of hemoptysis who were admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital & Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2005 to December 2014.The clinical information including laboratory tests and image data were collected and analyzed.
RESULTA total of 106 patients (50 males and 56 females) were identified. The median age was 9.1 years (range 2 months to 18 years). Pneumonia (35, 31.1%) was the most common etiology of hemoptysis, which included bacterial pneumonia (27 cases), mycoplasmal pneumonia(4 cases), chlamydial pneumonia (3 cases), and influenza pneumonia(1 case). Other causes included bronchitis(15, 14.2%), pulmonary tuberculosis (11, 10.4%), bronchiectasis (11, 10.4%), diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (8, 7.5%), idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis(6, 5.7%), cardiovascular dysplasia(6, 5.7%), pulmonary contusion (4, 3.8%), foreign body in bronchus (2, 1.9%), allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (2, 1.9%). Eighty-six patients manifested mild hemoptysis; moderate and massive hemoptysis were found in nine and eleven patients, respectively. Pneumonia accounted for 33.7% of mild hemoptysis and 45.5% of massive hemoptysis were due to bronchiectasis; 80.2% were treated with antibiotics and 41.5% were given hemostatic agents; 8.5% received lobectomy. Ninety-six patients (90.6%) were cured and parents gave up treatment in 4 cases (3.8%). Six patients (5.7%) suffered from recurrent hemoptysis.
CONCLUSIONHemoptysis mainly occurred in children who were older than 6 years, the most common cause of hemoptysis was respiratory tract infection. In most cases, the amount of hemoptysis was small and the overall prognosis was good.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) with upper airway obstruction (UAO) in children.
METHODData of 3 cases with NPPE and UAO in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) from Mar, 2007 to May, 2013 were analyzed.
RESULT(1) Two cases were male and 1 was female with age respectively 6, 16 and 30 months.One had airway foreign body , 1 laryngitis , and 1 retropharyngeal abscess. The onset of NPPE varied from 5 to 40 minutes following relief of obstruction. (2) NPPE presented with acute respiratory distress with signs of tachypnea, tachycardia, 2 of the 3 with pink frothy pulmonary secretions, progressively decreased oxygen saturation, rales on chest auscultation and wheezing. (3) NPPE chest radiograph showed diffuse interstitial and alveolar infiltrates, images confirmed pulmonary edema. (4) All these patients received these therapeutic measures including mechanical ventilation, retaining high PEEP, diuretics, limiting the fluid input volume to 80-90 ml/ (kg×d) on the basis of circulation stability. The rales on chest auscultation disappeared after 10, 6, 12 hours. The ventilators of 2 patients were removed within 24 hours, in another case it was removed 50 hours later because of secondary infection. All patients were cured and discharged without complication.
CONCLUSIONNPPE progresses very fast, characterized by rapid onset of symptoms of respiratory distress after UAO, with pulmonary edema on chest radiograph. The symptoms resolve rapidly if early support of breath and diuretics are applied properly.

Fish bones are often ingested accidently. Most of them passes out through the gastrointestinal tract safely, but serious complications, such as perforation, abscess, obstruction, and bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, can occur. An ingested fish bone can be easily removed by endoscopy, and surgery is rarely required. However, there may be complications related to the endoscopic procedure including mucosal laceration, bleeding, fever, and perforation. Here, we report a case of retroperitoneal hemorrhage developed after endoscopic removal of a fish bone stuck in the duodenal wall, and then resolved spontaneously by conservative care.
