OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of rigid bronchoscope combined with fiber bronchoscope application in children with airway obstruction.METHODS Retrospective analysis of 176 cases children with airway obstruction from January 1, 2006 to January1, 2016, all patients were diagnosised and treated in our hospital. RESULTS All children were acceptted rigid bronchoscopy combined with fiber bronchoscope under general anesthesia, then received the different thrapy according to the different causes. 104 patients with airway foreign body were all obtained satisfactory effect, 2 cases of children with bronchial foreign body(cap) inspection, failed to remove and contact thoracic surgery doctors to remove the foreign body by thoracotomy. 10 plastic bronchitis patients improved after treatment or cured. 7 cases of bronchial tuberculosis were cured after treatment. 4 patients with airway tumor after minimally invasive surgery, obtained good effect, 2 cases were turned to the other cancer hospital. 2 cases of patients with tracheal stenosis, the symptom is reduced after expansion. Bronchial granulation, tracheomalacia, bronchial softening, bronchial atresia patients improved after treatment. This group of all patients with pneumonia were cured after symptomatic treatment.CONCLUSION Rigid bronchoscopy and fiber bronchoscope are both useful for diagnosis and treatment of children with airway obstruction, both have its advantages and disadvantages, combined application can improve the accuracy of disease diagnosis and timely intervention on the patients.

Objective To investigate the red blood cell distribution width (RDWC)and serum leptin (Leotin)levels in pa-tients with early onset coronary heart disease (CHD)and their correlation.Methods From January 2013 to April 2016,320 cases of hospitalized patients with chest pain,chest tightness in the cardiovascular department of the Gaoming District People's Hospital of Foshan City,Guangdong Province,were examined by coronary artery.Of which 240 cases were male under 55 years old,female under 65 years old patients with coronary heart disease (coronary heart disease group),another 80 cases of normal coronary angiography and treadmill negative males under 5 5 years old,female under 6 5 years old patients,as the con-trol group.Gensini score in patients with premature coronary heart disease was calculated according to the coronary artery imaging results,Comparison between the two groups of red blood cell distribution width and serum leptin levels were differ-ent,analysis of red blood cell distribution width and serum leptin levels and the correlation between the degree of coronary artery lesions.Results The red blood cell distribution width and the serum leptin level in patients with early onset coronary heart disease were (13.87 ± 0.31)% and (12.24 ± 2.21)μg/L,significantly higher than the control group (14.31 ± 0.22)% and (9.21±1.78)μg/L (t=11.742,11.116,P<0.001).And Gensini score was positively correlated with coro-nary artery (r=0.413,0.124,P=0.000,0.041).Correlation of red cell distribution width and serum leptin levels were posi-tively (r=0.107,P=0.008).The research object curve the predictive value of red cell distribution width in patients with premature coronary heart disease (ROC)analysis showed that the area of ROC curve of red cell distribution width (AUC) under 0.725(95%CI:0.679~0.764),red cell distribution width value 12.85%,the sensitivity was 68.1%,specificity was 65.4%.Conclusion In patients with premature coronary heart disease,the red blood cell distribution width and serum leptin levels were significantly increased,and was positively correlated with the degree of coronary artery disease,can be used as an independent predictor of premature coronary heart disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of the coblation in the treatment of the infant with sleep-disordered breathing. Methods The clinical data were reviewed from 161 infants, who had the cobtilaon tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy sugeries in our hospital from January , 2008 to June, 2012. Among the 161 SDB cases, there were 85 obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrom cases and 76 primary snoring cases. After 12 months, the follow-up visit is cut off in January, 2013. Successful follow-ups had been done to 161 infant with SDB. And the clinical efficacy and the occurrence of the complications were investigated. Results the intra-operative blood loss was 10 mL or less. 2(1.24%) were delayed hemorrhage with less pain afteroperation. One year after the surgery, there were 141 cured (87.6%), 15 with apparent effects (9.3%), 3 with effective results (1.9%), 2 with no effect(1.2%)and the total effective rate is 98.8%. Conclusion It is minimally invasive, safe and effective to use coblation to remove tonsil and adenoid in the treatment of infants with sleep-disordered breathing.

OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between the level of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)and obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)in children. METHODS Between 2008 and 2009, 30 children who were diagnosed OSAHS, were enrolled in OSAHS group. Thirty children with a history of chronic tonsillitis made up chronic tonsillitis group. Thirty children(27 children were diagnosed accessory auricle and 3 children with laryngeal web)consisted of the control group. The three groups were matched by age, sex and BMI. Children in OSAHS group underwent overnight polysomnography monitoring in our medicine sleep center. Samples for plasma hs-CRP level were collected in the morning. RESULTS 1. The difference of plasma hs-CRP level among three groups was not significant (?2=0.179,P=0.914). 2. Plasma hs-CRP level did not correlated with AHI, BMI and lowest saturation of blood oxygen(rs=0.343, 0.104 and-0.062; P=0.064, 0.584, and 0.747, respectively). CONCLUSION Higher hs-CRP values were not observed in children with OSAHS. There are no correlation between hs-CRP and AHI, BMI and lowest saturation of blood oxygen.

Objective To explore the characteristics of auditory brainstem response(ABR) in children with otitis media with effusion(OME) before and after myringotomy with grommet insertion and the significance of ABR in diagnosing OME.Methods ABR were recorded in 50 cases(100 ears) before receiving myringotomy with grommet insertion for OME,30 cases(60 ears) underwent ABR monitoring after surgery again.For comparison,50 age-matched healthy children(100 ears) were also tested with ABR.Furthermore,30 cases were divided into two groups according to the viscidity of tympanic cavity secretion and the response threshold of wave Ⅴ were compared between the two groups.Results The response threshold of wave Ⅴand the peak latency of wave Ⅰwere normal in 13 percent of 50 cases(100 ears) before surgery.The rate of missed diagnosis was 13%.Among 50 cases,41% had normal response threshold for wave Ⅴ,52% had slight abnormal responses of thresholds of wave Ⅴ and 7% had medium response threshold of wave Ⅴ.The peak latency of wavs Ⅰwas normal in 19% OME children,but it prolonged in 72% OME children and absent in 9% OME children.The prolonged peak latencies(waves Ⅰ,Ⅲ andⅤ) and eleveted response thresholds of wave Ⅴ and shorted transmission time between waves(Ⅰ-Ⅲ andⅠ-Ⅴ) significant when compared to the control group.After surgery,the response thresholds of wave Ⅴand the peak latency of wave Ⅰwere normal in 46.7% children,the response threshold of wave Ⅴ were normal in 70.5% and slight abnormal in 29.5%.Occuring(elicit) rate of wave Ⅰwas 100% and peak latency of wave Ⅰwas normal in 50.2% chilren.The differrence of peak latencies(waves Ⅰ,Ⅲ andⅤ) and the response threshold of wave Ⅴ before surgery

Objective To investigate the effects of Netrin-1 on angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Methods We performed in vitro rat aortic ring assay and in vivo Matrigel plug assay to determine the effect of Netrin-1 on angiogenesis. Results 10 μg/L, 50 μg/L and 100 μg/L Netrin-1 stimulated microvessel sprouting from the adventitia of aortic rings and the effect reached maximum at 50 μg/L The in vivo Matrigel plug assay showed orange color change if Nestrin-1 was positive; and CD34 immunofluorescent staining showed vascular structures in the Matrigel plug with hemachrome ( 53.4 ± 7. 3 ), which was significantly higher than control ( 5. 8 ± 0. 9 )Conclusions Netrin-1 can induce angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of "J"-shaped uterine incision for caesarean section for patients diagnosed with placenta previa. A total of 55 consecutive cases of placenta previa treated in Union Hospital were retrospectively analyzed over a period of two years and 10 months. The subjects were divided into two groups with respect to the uterine incision. Twenty-four pregnant women with placenta previa who were indicated for caesarean section underwent the procedure using a new "J"-shaped uterine incision and 31 pregnant women with placenta previa received caesarean section that used the traditional transverse incision. The two groups were compared in terms of operation time, estimated blood loss, infant expulsion time, exhaust time and postoperative recovery. Meanwhile, comparison was also made in neonatal clinical data between the two groups. Compared with the "J"-shaped incision group, the traditional incision group had a lower Apgar scores (P<0.05). However, there existed no statistically significant differences in the overall time of operation and postoperative period of breaking wind (P>0.05). It is concluded that, with caesarean section for placenta previa patients, the "J"-shaped uterine incision significantly decreases intraoperative blood loss and facilitates the fetal delivery.

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to analyze the underlying bacterial pathogens of the tonsils and adenoids in children with sleep-disordered breathing(SDB).METHODS The core tissue from the tonsils and/or adenoids of 163 SDB children was cultured aerobically. Of the 163 cases, 120 children underwent adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy simultaneously(A+T), 39 children underwent adenoidectomy(A) and 4 tonsillectom(T) only. 124 children who underwent tonsillectomy were subdivided into two groups based on history(with or without a history of recurrent tonsillitis). 71 children with the history were enrolled in the 'recurrent tonsillitis group' and 53 children without the history were enrolled in 'non- recurrent tonsillitis group'.RESULTS Of the total 120 cases who underwent A+T, 114(95.00%) cases had same distribution of bacteria detected in both sides in the same patient. Besides this, 17 cases in whom mixed organisms were identified in both sites shared common pathogen. No significant difference in the detection rates of staphylococcus aureus and haemophilus influenzae were found when we compared seasons(Tonsil:χ2=8.538,P=0.201; Adenoid:χ2=5.427, P=0.490). No significant difference in the type and detection rate of essential bacteria was found when we compared between recurrent tonsillitis group and 'non-recurrent tonsillitis group' (χ2=3.028,P=0.387).CONCLUSION The bacterial isolates from the tonsils and adenoids are virtually identical in type and detection rate in the same SDB patient. The bacterial distribution of the tonsillar and adenoidal core is unaffected by the seasonal variation and history of recurrent tonsillitis.

Objective To study influence on angiogenesis of placenta by gene silencing of netrin-1.Methods Netrin-1 gene in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)and placenta of pregnant rats were silenced by RNA interference.The following methods were used in this study,including the phenytetrazoliumromide(MTT)for viability,clone formation for proliferation,transwell for migration,and tube formation for angiogenesis in vitro.The change of fetal growth was recorded.Placental microvessel density in pregnant rats was measured by immunohistochemical CD34 staining in vivo.Results (1)HUVEC:viability and proliferation of HUVEC were remarkably inhibited by gene silencing of netrin-1.which number of clone formation,migration cell,tube formation were from(69±6)%,86±17,37±9 decreased to(46±5)%,46±13 and 17±5(P＜0.05)respectively.(2)Placenta of pregnant rats:after netrin-1gene silenced,fetal weight were decreased from(2.39 ±0.17)g to(2.12±0.10)g(P＜0.05).Placental microvessel density was decreased from(258±38)/mm2 to(197±32)/mm2 in vivo(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gene silencing of netrin-1 could inhibit viability,proliferation,migration,tubal formation of HUVEC and angiogcnesis of placenta.Netrin-1 plays an important role in regulating angiogenesis in placenta.
