OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of two surgical methods on treatment of allergic rhiniti complicated with nasal septum deviation. METHOD: Eighty-seven cases of allergic rhiniti complicated with nasal septum deviation were divided into 2 groups according to the degree of mucosal hypertrophy and hyperplasia of bone in inferior turbinate. They were treated by resection of nasal septum deviation combined with temperature-controlled radio-frequency, or combined with partial submucoperiosteous resection of inferior turbinate bone. The Lanzhou standard (2004) and nasal airway resistance were used to evaluate the efficacy. RESULT: After one year follow-up time, the nasal resistance was significantly decreased and the effective rates were greater than 88% in each group. CONCLUSION Both of the two surgical methods can significantly depress the nasal resistance and improve the allergic symptoms, which shows good effect.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the main allergens in children with allergic rhinitis and provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment in Zhengzhou district. METHOD: Twenty standardization allergens were used to perform skin prick test in 412 children with AR, and the results were statistically analyzed. RESULT: Three hundred and twenty-nine of 412 cases (79.85%) showed positive reaction. The positive rate of dermatophagoides farina (87.54%) was the highest in inhaled allergens, followed by dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (86.32%), cat hair (62.31%), fungus I (47.72%) and dog hair (43.16%). The positive rate of shrimp (13.68%) was the highest in ingestive allergens, then egg (5.17%), carp (4.56%), meat I (3. 04%) and milk (3.04%). CONCLUSION Dust mites, cat hair, fungus,dog hair were the most common allergens in children in Zhengzhou district. Improving living environment of children with AR and avoiding contacting with allergens were pretty important.
