Objective To explore the relationship between adenoid vegetation children with different types of tympanograms and secretory otitis media in children and diagnosis of secretory otitis media .Methods A retrospec-tive study was carried out among 328 cases with adenoid vegetation in children ,including simple adenoid vegetation and associated with chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy ,from August 2010 to May 2012 .The incidence of secretory otitis media and outcomes of tympanometry for the diagnosis were analyzed .Results 104 cases were diag-nosed with secretory otitis media by tympanic membrane puncture or tympanostomy tube in 328 cases with adenoid vegetation (32 .31% );86 cases (147 ears) were finally diagnosed as secretory otitis media among 89 cases (152 ears) with type B tympanogram (147/152 ,96 .63% );16 cases (20 ears) were finally diagnosed secretory otitis media among 33 cases (49 ears) with type C tympanogram (20/49 ,40 .82% );2 cases (2 ears) with type As tympa-nogram were finally diagnosed .Conclusion With or without complaint of hearing loss ,children with adenoid vegeta-tion should be checked by routine tympanometry .Careful physical examinations and electric otoscope or ear endosco-py combined tympanometry can greatly reduce the rate of misdiagnosis of secretory otitis media .

Objective To study the audiological characteristics of large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS)and provide evidence for early diagnosis and prevention.Methods Tympanometry,Otoacoustic emission , auditory brainstem response (ABR),auditory steady-state response(ASSR)were performed on the 49 cases of LVAS which were diagnosed by CT scanning from May,2010 to October,2013.Among them,23 cases(46ears)were examined by pure tone andiometry at the same time.ResuIts Pure tone andiometry showed that 33 ears were mixed hearing loss in the 23 cases(46 ears),the air-bone gap was larger at low frequencies than that of at high frequen-cies,15 ears were senserineural hearing loss with no air-bone gap;96 ears were type A tympanogram.Acoustic re-flex were present in 5 ears ;34 cases (68 ears)of LVAS group were detected with ASNR in 3 -4 ms by the ABR testing,the positive rate was 70.8%.ConcIusion Our study indicates that for confirmed LAVS,if the pure tone andiometry shows significant air-bone gaps at low frequencies with the normal tympanograms,and ASNR is e-voked during the routine ABR testing.

Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and female subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. Methods A total of 835 female subjects were enrolled in this study. MS was defined based on the ATP Ⅲ criteria. Age groups were ＜45,45 to 65,and ≥65 years. The participants were evaluated by the number of components of MS and clusters of MS components. Measurement of carotid arteries with B-mode ultrasound imaging was performed. Intima-media thickness and plague of the carotid arteries were regarded as the indicators of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. Results The prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis, MS components and MS was significantly increased with the increased age. After age was adjusted, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that every component of MS was independently associated with carotid atherosclerosis; the increased waist circumstance and blood pressure and reduced HLD showed stronger effect. The prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis was increased with increasing number of components of MS. When compared to the 0 MS component group,the odds ratio (OR)of carotid atherosclerosis of the groups with 1, 2,3,4, or 5 components were 1.4,2. 0,3.4,5. 7 and 7. 1,respectively. The altered cluster components of MS impacted differently on carotid atherosclerosis. The clusters of components of MS with increased waist circumstance were more frequent than without ones. Conclusion Every component of MS may be an independent risk factor of carotid atherosclerosis;increased components of MS could contribute higher odd risk to carotid atherosclerosis; clusters of MS components might show different impacts on carotid atherosclerosis.

Objective To observe the growth and biological features of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) from psoriatic patients. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from 5 patients with active psoriasis vulgaris and 5 normal human controls, and BMSC were obtained and purified using plastic adherence method followed by primary culture and passage in vitro. The cell morphology, density and growth were observed with microscopy. Cell growth pattern was evaluated by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was applied to identify surface antigens, including CD29, CD34, CD45 and CD106, on these cells. Results No significant difference was observed in the morphology of primary or descendant BMSC between the patients and controls.The primary BMSC from psoriatic patients tended to adhere to the plastic wall later, confluence and grow more slowly compared with those from the controls. The BMSCs from both psoriatic patients anti healthy donors were positive for CD29, but negative for CD34 or CD45. On the 4th day of culture, the BMSC from psoriatic patients exhibited a decrease in proliferation, with the absorbence at 470 nm (A470) being 0.081±0.0066 and 0.095±0.0130, respectively for BMSC from the patients and controls (t=2.358, P<0.05). Conclusion There is a decrease in the proliferation of BMSC from psoriatic patients which show a morphological similarity to those from healthy controls.
