OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy between adenoidectomy combined with auripuncture (AT+A) and adenoidectomy combined with tympanostomy tubes (AT+T) in children wiht otitis media with effusion. METHODS 92 cases of children with otitis media with effusion were selected from September 2010 to September 2014 in our hospital which was divided into AT+T group and AT+A group, depending on therapy methods.There were 48 in AT+T group and 44 in AT+A group. Retrospective analysis were made on a series of clinical data ,including the therapeutic effect, hearing threshold before and after treatment, infection rate and recurrence rate. RESULTS The hearing threshold has been significantly reduced within one year of follow-up after treatment,however,there was no significant difference (P>0.05). Total efficiency rate was 97.9% in AT+T group and 95.4% in AT+A group, no significant difference was found (P>0.05). The average middle ear fluid duration, infection and recurrence rate of children in AT+T group and AT+A group was (7.3±0.8) days, 6.3%, 4.2% and (11.7±0.4) days, 15.9%, 11.4% respectively, there was significant differences (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Both AT+T and AT +A have a good therapeutic effect for children with otitis media with effusion, which can significantly improve the hearing. Compared to AT+A, AT+T have a higher recovery rate,significantly reduce the recurrence and infection rate,and may be more suitable for clinical treatment of children with otitis media with effusion.

Objective: To analyze the status quo of the knowledge and related factors of cancer prevention and treatment among residents in Liaoning Province in 2021. Methods: From August to November 2021, through network sampling method, 17 474 permanent residents aged 15-69 years in Liaoning Province were surveyed. The WeChat public account was used to collect information such as demographic characteristics and core knowledge of cancer prevention and treatment. The Chi-square test was used to compare the difference of the level of the cancer prevention and treatment knowledge among different groups. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors. Results: Among the 17 474 subjects, 43.1% (7 528) were male and 58.7% (10 262) were urban residents. The overall awareness rate was 72.3%, and the awareness rate of cancer cognition, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, cancer management and rehabilitation were 71.4%, 67.6%, 72.7%, 83.4% and 63.5%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that the residents who were man (OR: 0.850, 95%CI: 0.781-0.925), in rural areas (OR: 0.753, 95%CI: 0.694-0.817), 55-59 years old (OR: 0.851, 95%CI: 0.751-0.963), quitters (OR: 0.721, 95%CI: 0.640-0.813) and smoker (OR: 0.724, 95%CI: 0.654-0.801) had lower awareness rates, while the residents who were 35-54 years old (OR: 1.312, 95%CI: 1.202-1.432), with an educational level of junior high school/senior high school/college degree or above (OR: 1.834-5.130, 95%CI: 1.575-6.047), technical personnel (OR: 1.592, 95%CI: 1.367-1.854), civil servant/institution staff (OR: 1.282, 95%CI: 1.094-1.503), enterprise/business/service staff (OR: 1.218, 95%CI: 1.071-1.385), retired (OR: 1.324, 95%CI: 1.114-1.573) and with family history of cancer (OR: 1.369, 95%CI: 1.266-1.481) had higher awareness rates. Conclusion: The level of the awareness of core knowledge of cancer prevention and treatment among residents in Liaoning Province has met the requirements of the Healthy China Action. Region, gender, education level, age, family history of cancer and smoking are relevant factors.
