OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical treatment effect of refractory hypertension accompanied with OSAHS by surgery on upper airway.
METHOD:
Thirty-two patients were enrolled in our research. PSG and blood pressure were examined on preoperation and 6th month, 1 year, 2 year of postoperation.
RESULT:
The AHI and the time of SaO2 < 90% were lower significantly, and LSaO2 was improved (P < 0.01). The blood pressures of 32 patients were decreased.
CONCLUSION
The operation on upper airway could improve the hypertension of patient with OSAHS effectively.

This review focus on the progress of the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome by using positive airway pressure and upper airway multilevel surgeries. OSAHS is a disease caused by multiple etiologies. We should consider upper airway anatomical abnormalities and the severity of OSAHS before reasonable treatment plans were formulated. "PAP-surgery-PAP" is the classic procedure for treating moderate OSAHS and severe OSAHS. Preoperative use of PAP could reduce the hypoxic condition of patients and decrease surgical risk. Surgery can effectively reduce the optimal PAP pressure value, and increase the tolerance of patient. Postoperative use of PAP can improve surgical efficacy, shorten patient recovery time. However, the influence of different surgical methods on optimal PAP pressure value is lacking in large samples. More related studies need to be per formed in the future.

BACKGROUNDJuvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is a relatively rare disease. It affects the larynx in most cases. Because reports on JORRP to the lower respiratory tract (LRT) are few, we investigated clinical features of patients with a history of JORRP to analyze the risk factors of this disease.
METHODSData from 208 JORRP patients admitted to Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2008 to December 2010 were reviewed. Gender, age at onset of symptoms, age at first surgery, duration of symptoms before the first surgical procedure, the number of surgical procedures, mean interval between surgical interventions, and the number of tracheotomies in patients with and without LRT spread of JORRP were analyzed. The data from patients with and without tracheotomy were recorded and compared. Two cases of primary tracheal papillomatosis were reviewed.
RESULTSPapillomas extension down to the LRT was observed in 46 children (22.1%). Patients with LRT papillomatosis had a shorter time from the onset of the symptoms until the first surgery, required significantly more surgical procedures, and had a shorter mean surgical interval. Tracheotomy was performed in 13/162 (8.0%) children with laryngeal papillomatosis vs. 36/46 (78.3%) children with LRT papillomatosis. After tracheotomy, 36/49 (73.5%) children developed LRT papillomatosis and 10/157 (6.4%) children who did not have a tracheotomy developed LRT papillomatosis. Patients with tracheotomy required a significantly higher number of surgical procedures. The younger the patient had a tracheotomy, the longer the duration of cannulation was.
CONCLUSIONSJORRP patients with LRT spread are prone to develop more aggressive disease. Tracheotomy resulted in a significant increase of LRT involvement.

The ICU at Severance Hopital was opened with 7 beds on October 18, 1968 and expanded to 19 beds on February 2, 1981. From 1970-977, We statistically analyzed 3,072 ICU patients. During the period of years from March 1975 to February 1982, We have analyzed clinically 4,348 ICU patients. The Results were as Follows: 1) During the 7 years the total number of patients was 4,383. ln 1981, 1063 patients were admitted to the ICU: this number being almost twice that of in 1980. 2) During the 7 years, the overall mortality was 15.1%, highest in 1976(30.1%) and lowest in 1979(11.5%). It has decreased annually, 12.4% in 1980, 12.3% in 1981. 3) Total admission days in ICU were 18,148 days, the average patient stay in ICU being 4.17 days. The majority of the patients(81.2%) stayed in ICU less than 5 days. The number of patients staying in ICU more than 6 days increased every year from 14.2% in 1975 to 22% in 1981. 4) About 50% of the patients admitted were under the forties-age group. The number under the teens old group was 19%, this group representing the highest number of patients admitted to the ICU. The highest mortality(18.5%) occurred in the 1 to 10 yearold-age group. 5) The number of patients admitted to the department of internal medicine was 1,574 cases, which was the highest among all departments. The mortality rate was highest in the neurosurgery department(41.9%). In 1981, the number of ICU patients in cardiac surgery and pediatrics was increased three time compared with that of 1975. 6) All ICU patients have been divided into two categories, operative and non-operative cases. The operative cases were 2,150, non-operative cases 2,198 cases. Mortality rate was 10% in operative cases, 20% in non-operative cases. 7) Case expired from march 1981 to February 1982: The number of expired parients including those with a poor prognosis was 183 cases. The number of patients that expired under the 10-year-age group was the highest, 78 cases. The cases that expired in internal medicine and pediatrics were 63 and 58 cases respectively. The causes of death were due to damage of central nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system in that order. From the above results, it can be concluded that in spite of an increase in patients, the mortality rate has decreased annually.

BACKGROUND: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM) is a rare congenital developmental anomaly of the lower respiratory tract. Most cases are diagnosed within the first 2 years of life, so adult presentation of CCAM is rare. We describe here six adult cases of CCAM and the patients underwent surgical resection, and all these patients were seen during a five and a half year period. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical, radiological and histological characteristics of adult patients with CCAM. METHODS: Through medical records analysis, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical characteristics, the chest pictures (X-ray and CT) and the histological characteristics. RESULTS: Four patients were women and the mean age at diagnosis was 23.5 years (range: 18~39 years). The major clinical presentations were lower respiratory tract infection, hemoptysis and pneumothorax. According to the chest CT scan, 5 patients had multiseptated cystic lesions with air fluid levels and one patient had multiple cavitary lesions with air fluid levels, and these lesions were surrounded by poorly defined opacities at the right upper lobe. All the patients were treated with surgical resection. 5 patients underwent open lobectomy and one patient underwent VATS lobectomy. On the pathological examination, 3 were found to be CCAM type I and 3 patients were CCAM type II, according to Stocker's classification. There was no associated malignancy on the histological studies of the surgical specimens. CONCLUSION: As CCAM can cause various respiratory complications and malignant changes, and the risks associated with surgery are extremely low, those patients who are suspected of having or who are diagnosed with CCAM should go through surgical treatment for making the correct diagnosis and administering appropriate treatment.
