Objective To study the clinical application of the complete audiologic evaluation battery consisting of ABR,ASSR and behavioral audiometry in sound field for the identification of sensorineural losses in children.Methods In the study 48 children were divided as group PTA of the children assessed by pure tone audiometry and ABR and ASSR test,and group BA of the children unable to perform on behavioral evaluations.Results The analysis of the audiometric results of group PTA showed significant correlation between the ASSR thresholds and pure tone thresholds(P＜0.01) at various frequencies.The correlation coefficients were 0.75,0.76,0.76,and 0.83 at different frequencies.The ASSR-PTA linear regression was utilized.The comparison of the ABR and ASSR results of group BA indicated that 23 ears responded in ASSR but without responses in ABR.Those without ASSR responses also had no ABR There were 116 tests in total four frequencies for the 29 ears.83 responses were obtained from ASSR,89 responses from behavior audiometry and 96 from the use of the both tests.Conclusion The comprehensive audiologic evaluation battery could be used to test younger children with severe heating loss children as compared to the pure tone audiometry alone.More detailed data can be obtained thus from children to assist in rehabilitation in a more effective mariner.

Objective To determine the association of acanthosis nigricans(AN) with values for estimating insulin resistance and adipocytokine levels in simple obese children. Methods These subjects concluded 38 simple obese children. AN was present in 17 of 38 children. Height, weight and abdominal circumference were recorded and fasting blood sample was obtained for measurement of blood glucose, plasma insulin, leptin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) levels which were known as the risk factors of cardiovascular disease. We obtained homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-R) by fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin levels. Results The severity of obesity, abdominal circumference, fasting insulin levels and HOMA-R were significantly higher in obese children to AN compared to those without AN. There was the tendency that children with AN had higher levels of leptin and PAI-1 compared to children without AN. Conclusions These results suggest that obese children with AN may have a risk of cardiovascular disease as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To observe the efficacy of intense pulsed light(IPL)incorporated with optimal pulse technology (OPT)in the treatment of rosacea.Methods Thiris-two patients with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea and 53 patients with papulopustular rosacea were treated with IPL-OPT for 4 sessions with an interval of 3 weeks.Patients were assessed clinically and photographically by physicians before each treatment.Skin melanin index,erythema index,sebum secretion level and water content in stratum corneum were tested at the baseline,3 weeks after each treatment,and 6 months after the last treatment.Results Three weeks after the last treatment,the effective(more than 60%improvement)rate WaS 81.18%in total,75%in erythematotelangiectatic rosacea,and 84.91%in papulopustular rosacea;there WaS no significant difference between erythematotelangiectatic rosacea and papulopustular rosacea (x2=1.28,P＞0.05).Six months after the last treatment,the total effective rate still remained at 78.82%with no significant difierence from that observed at 3 weeks after the treatment(x2=1.62,P＞0.05).The value of melanin index,erythema index and sebum secretion level decreased significantly after the final treatment,however,water content in stratum corneum remained at the salne level as that before treatment.After 6-month follow-up,no significant change was noticed in the above 4 parameters compared with those obtained at 3 weeks after the treatment.Neither hyperpigmentation nor hypopigmentation was observed during the treatment and follow-up.Conclusion This study demonstrates that IPL-OPT is an effective treatment for rosacea with relatively few side effects.
