OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) of kindergarten children in Wuhan City. METHOD: The study subjects were 3-6-year-old children in some kindergarten children in Wuhan City . All subjects were assessed with routine otorhinolaryngologic examination, otoscopic examination and tympanometry. Chi-square test were used to analyse the difference of data. RESULT: The prevalence of children of some kindergarten in Wuhan City is 6.67%. There was no statistical difference were found between sexuality. The prevalence of OME in 3 years old group is obviously higher than that in 4-6 years old group. Previous acute otitis media episodes, feeding, high-arched palate, and nasal obstruction are risk factors of OME. CONCLUSION Children with previous acute otitis media episode and nasal obstruction should be suggested to have otorhinolaryngologic examination regularly. It is necessary to have routine otoscopic examination and tympanometry in children of kindergarten.

Objective To study the clinical manifestations and antibiotic sensitivity features of early-and late-onset invasive infections caused by group B Streptococcus (GBS). Methods A total of 96 infants with invasive GBS infections were enrolled prospectively from seven tertiary hospitals of GBS Infection Research Cooperative Group in southwest Fujian, such as Xiamen Maternal and Child Care Hospital, etc., from January 2016 to June 2018. According to the onset time of infection after birth, they were divided into early-onset GBS disease (GBS-EOD) group (<7 d, n=67) and the late-onset GBS disease (GBS-LOD) group (7-89 d, n=29). Clinical manifestations, disease spectrum, complications and outcomes of the two groups were compared. Drug sensitivity test was carried out using disk diffusion test. Chi-square or Fisher's exact test, two independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U tests were used for statistical analysis. Results (1) The average ages at onset in GBS-EOD and GBS-LOD groups were (15.8±6.7) h (0.5-142.0 h) and (25.0±8.1) d (9-89 d), respectively. The incidence of tachypnea, pallor, fever and convulsion were noted in 68.7% (46/67) vs 44.8% (13/29), 52.2% (35/67) vs 17.2% (5/29), 23.9% (16/67) vs 65.5% (19/29) and 7.5% (5/67) vs 48.3% (14/29) of GBS-EOD and GBS-LOD groups with χ2 values of 6.282, 10.199, 15.146 and 21.237 (all P<0.05). The main clinical manifestations of GBS-EOD were tachypnea and pallor, while most of the patients in the GBS-LOD group developed fever and convulsions. (2) The incidence of pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, sepsis complicated by septic joints, pneumonia complicated by sepsis, sepsis complicated by meningitis and pneumonia complicated by sepsis and meningitis were noted in 43.3% (29/67) vs 20.7% (6/29), 9.0% (6/67) vs 17.2% (5/29), 0.0% (0/67) vs 3.4% (1/29), 0.0% (0/67) vs 6.9% (2/29), 31.3% (21/67) vs 13.8% (4/29), 6.0% (4/67) vs 31.0% (9/29) and 10.4% (7/67) vs 6.9% (2/29) of GBS-EOD and GBS-LOD groups. There was a statistically significant difference in the disease spectrum between the two groups (Fisher's exact test, all P<0.001). Compared with the GBS-LOD group, the GBS-EOD group had a higher incidence of pneumonia [85.1% (57/67) vs 41.4% (12/29), χ2=19.116, P<0.001] and a lower incidence of meningitis [16.4% (11/67) vs 41.4% (12/29), χ2=6.922, P=0.009]. Complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary hemorrhage, shock and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) occurred much more in the GBS-EOD group than the GBS-LOD group [28.4% (19/67) vs 6.9% (2/29), 13.4% (9/67) vs 0.0% (0/29), 11.9% (8/67) vs 10.3% (3/29), 4.5% (3/67) vs 0.0% (0/29), χ2=13.683, P<0.001]. (3) Among the 96 patients, 23 (24.0%) had meningitis and 73 (76.0%) developed pneumonia and sepsis. Meningitis resulted in a higher fatality rate [17.4% (4/23) vs 4.1% (3/73), χ2=4.564, P=0.035] and longer average hospital stay [(37.2±12.6) vs (14.1±5.3) d, t=7.831, P<0.001] than pneumonia and sepsis. Seven out of the 19 meningitis survivors developed intracranial complications. (4) The overall fatality rate in this study was 7.3% (7/96) and no significant difference was found between GBS-EOD and GBS-LOD group [7.5% (5/67) vs 6.9% (2/29), χ2=0.010, P=0.982]. Among the 67 GBS-EOD infants, 58 (86.6%) occurred within 24 h and five of them died, but no death was reported in the other nine cases occurred after 24 h. (5) Totally 96 strains of GBS were isolated with 100% sensitivity to penicillin, ampicillin, cefazolin and meropenem, and 97% to vancomycin. Around 79.3%-91.0% of GBS isolates were resistant to clindamycin and erythromycin. Conclusions Clinial features vary greatly in GBS-LOD and GBS-EOD cases. Infants with meningitis have poor prognosis. The drug resistance rate of GBS to erythromycin and clindamycin are relatively high.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnoses of non-involuting congenital hemangioma (NICH) in children.

METHODSThe clinical, morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics of 22 cases of NICH were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTSThe mean patients' age at diagnosis was 4.2 years, with a male to female ratio of 1.75:1. The tumors were located in the head and face (5 cases), neck (3 cases), body (6 cases), upper limbs (5 cases), and lower limbs (3 cases). Histologically, the tumor was dominated by rather large lobules of small vessels that were mostly rounded, curved, small and thin-walled, and were lined by endothelial cells surrounded by one or more layers of pericytes. The center of the lobules was occupied by one or more thin or thick walled vessels, which were surrounded by fibrous and fatty tissue, which contained abnormal arterial and venous structures. At the edge of the lobules there were lymphatic vessels. Immunohsitochemical study showed that tumor cells in NICH were positive for CD34 (22/22), CD31 (22/22), SMA (22/22), vimentin (22/22) and Glut1 (0/22). D2-40 expression was located at the edge of the capillary lobules.

CONCLUSIONSNICH is a benign lesion. Clinically and pathologically, it needs to be differentiated from rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma, infantile hemangiomas, tufted angioma, vascular malformation, and others.
