Objective To analyze the common causes and clinical features associated with hoarseness in chil-dren of different ages. Methods The data of 2 500 children suffering from hoarseness were analyzed with electronic [aryngofiberscopy retrospectively. Results There were 1 746 males and 754 females. The top 5 causes of hoarseness were vocal cord nodules(44.2%, 1 105 cases), vocal hypertrophy (38.2% ,955cases), acute and subacute laryngitis (6.5 %, 163cases), the paralysis of vocal cord(6.82 %, 141cases), and laryngeal papilloma(1.6 %, 40cases). These five diseases were common in children with hoarseness with 2 404 out of 2 500. 37.12% of the children were under school ages as the largest age group and the ratio of male and female was 2.32 : 1. The top five diseases were statisti-cally distributed in different age groups (P<0.01) . Conclusion The main causes of hoarseness were different in different age groups. The preschoolers made up the largest group (928/2 500), showing the greatest incidence of hoarseness in children . The incidence for male patients was higher than female and the vocal cord nodules was the top disease (1 105/2 500 cases,44.2%). Hoarseness in children was different from that of adults so that to under-stand the characteristics of this disorder in children will be beneficial to the proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

Objective To explore prognostic relative factors of different therapy for patients with intracrani-al aneurysm. Methods In 93 intracranial aneurysm patients, 38 cases were managed through craniotomy, in whom the effects of operation time, intraoperative aneurysmal rupture(IAB), temporary arterial occlusion (TAO)on 30-day and 6-month prognosis were investigated; while other 67 cases experienced endovascular treatment,in whom the simi-lar parameters of the different therapy, types of endovascular treatment, and intracranial aneurysm embolization were evaluated. 30 days and 6 months prognosis were regarded as the dependent variable, and SPSS for Windows 11.5 was adopted for data processing. Chi-Square test was performed. Results IAR exerted significant difference to 30 days and 6 months prognosis in patients undergoing craniotomy and clipping, there were 42 intracranial aneurysm, of which 16 aneurysm ruptured (χ2 = 5. 203,10. 886, P < 0.05 ). For patients undergoing endovascular treatment, the new ma-terial application could improve 6 months prognosis, in whom there were totaly 74 intracranial aneurysm, of which 23 aneurysm were managed by the use of old material for endovascular treatment and 51 aneurysm were managed by the use of new material for endovascular treatment(χ2 = 5. 544 and RR = 2. 364,95% CI 1. 197~4.669 ,P < 0.05 ). Un-successful ratio in the endovascular treatment was reduced simultaneously,from 43.5% (old material group) to 18.0% ( now material group) (χ2 = 5. 542,P < 0.05). Conclusions IAR is the important risk factor, which effects 30 days or 6 months prognosis of patients with intracranial aneurysms managed through craniotomy and clipping. The new material application in the endovascular treatment improves 6 months prognosis, meanwhile unsuccessful ratio in the endovascular treatment is reduced simultaneously.

Background Myopia is an important risk factor of glaucoma.Investigation of the characteristics of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and optical head morphology in myopia patients was helpful for differentiating myopic change and glaucomatous change in myopic eye.Objective This study was to investigate the peripapillary RNFLT and papillary parameters in different degrees of myopic eyes.Methods A 5-year case series study was retrospectively analyzed.Total 168 eyes of 168 myopic patients without visual field defect were recruited and divided into three age matched groups according to spherical equivalent (SE):low myopia group (SE:-0.25 ~-0.75 D) (57 eyes),moderate myopia group (SE:-3.0 ~-5.75 D) (57 eyes) and high myopia group (SE:-6.0~-12.0 D) (54 eyes).The RNFLT was measured with scanning laser polarmetry (GDxVCC) and papillary parameters measured with confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (HRT Ⅱ).Intergroup difference of parameters from GDxVCC and HRT Ⅱ were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and SNK-q test.The correlations between spherical equivalent and RNFLT or papillary parameters was evaluated with multiple linear regression analysis.Results The global average,superior and inferior average,standard deviation,inter-eye symmetry of RNFLT were gradually reduced as the increase of SE with significant differences among the three groups (F=6.193,7.127,3.874,4.098,3.128,P < 0.05).Global average,superior average,standard deviation,inter-eye symmetry of RNFLT were significantly lower in the high myopia group than those in the low myopia group (q =5.334,4.526,4.586,20.679,P<0.05).An statistically significant reduce in inter-eye symmetry was seen between the high myopia group and the moderate myopia group (q =6.225,P<0.05) as well as between the moderate myopia group and the low myopia group (q =10.035,P<0.05).The multiple regression analysis showed that global average,superior average,inferior average,standard deviation,inter-eye symmetry of the R NFLT decreased with the increase of SE (β=0.441,t=6.329,P=0.000;β=0.471,t=6.880,P=0.000;β=0.339,t=4.641,P=0.000;β=0.389,t=5.445,P =0.000 ; β =0.338,t =4.621,P =0.000).Cup volume,linear cup/disk ratio,mean cup depth and maximum cup depth in the high myopia group were significantly lower than those of the moderate myopia groups (q =2.603,P =0.0l 1 ;q =2.105,P =0.037 ; q =2.825,P =0.006 ; q =2.495,P =0.014).Mean cup depth and height variation contour were significantly decreased in the high myopia group compared with the low myopia group (q =2.562,P =0.013 ;q =2.203,P =0.030).Rim area,rim volume,height variation contour were positively correlated with the degree of myopia (β=0.195,t=-2.565,P=0.011 ;β=0.199,t=-2.611,P=0.010;β=0.177,t =-2.311,P=0.022) ; while mean cup depth were negatively correlated with the degree of myopia (β =0.153,t =1.997,P =0.047).Conclusions As the increase of myopia degree,superior and inferior quadrants of RNFLT and cup depth are declined,but rim volume is elevated.Myopia is a confounding factor when RNFL data is interpreted by GDxVCC and papillary parameter by HRT Ⅱ.
