Objective To explore the value of tracheal intubation guided by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in children snoring disease operation.Methods A total of 50 patients underwent tracheal intubation guided by fiberoptic bronchoscope or laryngoscope from August 2015 to June 2016.There were 25 cases of fiberoptic bronchoscopy assigned into group A, 25 cases of laryngoscopy into group B.The intubation time, success rate and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results All the intubation in group A succeed at the first time.The intubation time was (20.1±4.3) s and the position was right.There was no need for replacement during the operation.Three cases in group B succeed at the second time because the tonsil was too big to expose the pharynx.The intubation got out of the pharynx in 3 cases in group B and were adjusted to the right position.The intubation time was (50.7±6.9) s and the success rate at the first time was 76% (19/25).Groups A behaved better than group B in aspects of the success rate of signal intubation and intubation time (Fisher''s Exact Test, P=0.022;t=-18.725, P=0.000).There were no adverse reactions in group A, such as pharyngorrhagia, odontoseisis or loss of tooth, laryngospasm and so on.There were 3 cases of hemorrhage from throat after intubation, 3 cases of loss of tooth in different degrees and 1 case of laryngospasm at second intubation time in group B.There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionFiberoptic bronchoscopy can be used for children snoring disease with good safety as well as rare adverse reactions.

Objective To observe the pollution states of environmental estrogen-alkyl pheols in tap water of Shenyang. Methods With solid phase extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectroscope (GC/MS) ionic selective methods, the concentration of pollutants of alkyl pheols were measured in 21 tap water samples of water works of Shenyang. Results The main pollutants of alkyl pheols in tap water of water works in Shenyang were 4-t-octyl phenol, nonyl phenol and bisphenol A. The respective maximum concentration was 690.5 ng/L (ranged 29.5-690.5 ng/L), 2 791.6 ng/L (ranged 212.1-2 791.6 ng/L) and 161.0 ng/L (ranged 14.7-161.0 ng/L). The varieties and concentrations of pollutants of alkyl pheols showed a significant difference among water samples from different water works and the seasonal changing of them was demonstrated in the waters made in the same water works. Conclusion The problem on the drinking water contamination with alkyl pheols in Shenyang should be paid more attention by government.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy and provide references for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 216 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy in Ningjin County People′s Hospital from June 2016 to December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The recurrence rate at 12 months after the operation was followed up, and the risk factors influencing the recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model.Results:After followed up for 12 months after the operation, 24 cases had recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 11.11%(24/216). Univariate analysis showed that the recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy was significantly correlated with surgical age, age at menarche, number of fibroids, uterine size, and gonadrotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment after the operation ( P<0.05), but was not significantly correlated with body mass index, fibroid size, fibroid type, and pregnancy after the operation ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that surgical age ≥ 35 years old ( OR=1.289, 95% CI 1.013-1.641), age at menarche <13 years old ( OR=1.765, 95% CI 1.167 - 2.669), and number of fibroids ≥ 2 ( OR=2.487, 95% CI 1.442 - 4.288) were independent risk factors for recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy ( P<0.05), while GnRH-a treatment after the operation ( OR = 0.696, 95% CI 0.510-0.951) was its protective factor ( P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of surgical age ≥ 35 years old, menarche age <13 years old, and number of fibroids ≥ 2 for predicting recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy was 0.641 (95% CI 0.573 - 0.705), 0.719 (95% CI 0.654 - 0.778) and 0.622 (95% CI 0.554 - 0.687), and age at menarche had the greatest diagnostic efficiency. Conclusions:Surgical age ≥ 35 years old, age at menarche <13 years old, and number of fibroids ≥ 2 are independent risk factors for recurrence after laparoscopic myomectomy. Intraoperative ultrasound and postoperative GnRH-a treatment can help reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence.
