OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of pituitrin combined with phentolamine versus pitui-trin alone in the treatment of bronchiectasis hemoptysis(BH),and provide evidence-based reference for the clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMBase,CJFD,Wanfang and VIP database,the randomized controlled trails(RCT)about pituitrin combined with phentolamine(test group)versus pituitrin alone(control group)in the treatment of BH were collected,and afterdata extract and quality evaluation ,Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2.3 statistics soft-ware. RESULTS:A total of 43 RCTs were included,involving 3 094 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed the significant effi-cacy [RR=1.50,95%CI(1.38,1.62),P<0.001] and effective rate [RR=1.25,95%CI(1.20,1.30),P<0.001] in test group were sig-nificantly higher than control group,inefficacy [RR=0.29,95%CI(0.23,0.36),P<0.001], hemoptysis stopped or remission time [MD=-2.00,95%CI(-2.43,-1.57),P<0.001],incidence of headache [RR=0.36,95%CI(0.22,0.59),P<0.001],incidence of chest tightness [RR=0.41,95%CI(0.26,0.63),P<0.001],incidence of abdominal pain [RR=0.26,95%CI(0.16,0.43),P<0.001] and incidence of elevated blood pressure [RR=0.28,95%CI(0.14,0.56),P<0.001] in test group were significantly lower than control group,there were significant differences in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Pituitrin combined with phentolamine has better efficacy and safety than pituitrin alone in the treatment of BH. Due to the limit of methodological quality and sample size,it re-mains to be further verified with more rigorously designed and long-term follow-up of large-scale RCT.

AIM: To compare the clinical results of suture method and partial eyelash resection treating for pediatric eyelid trichiasis, and screen an effective method for the treatment of pediatric lower eyelid trichiasis.
METHODS: Fifty-six cases of pediatric patients with lower eyelid trichiasis were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group in accordance with the method of drawing lots, and each group was 28 cases. The control group was treated with suture method, and the observation group was treated with partial eyelash resection. The clinical efficacy, patient satisfaction before and after treatment, and the incidence of complications were compared.
RESULTS:(1) The clinically total effective rate was 74%of the control group, which was 89% of the observation group, and there were statistical differences of the clinical efficacy between the two groups ( P<0. 05 ); ( 2 ) the satisfaction scores were (3. 89±1. 22) points and (6. 27±1-86) points of the the control group before and after treatment, which were ( 4. 00±1. 34 ) points and ( 8-95±2-34) points of the observation group, and there were statistical differences of the two groups before and after treatment (P<0. 05), and the scores of the observation group were higher than that of the control group ( P<0-05);(3) complications such as swelling and stitches off appeared in both groups, and the rate was 21% in the control group, which was 11% in the observation group, and there were statistical differences between the two groups (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: The treatment of children with lower eyelid trichiasis, suture method is simple and can be performed under local anesthesia in collaboration with children, but with a higher relapse rate, some patients required reoperation;partial resection of eyelashes can be more thoroughly solve the problem of pediatric eyelid trichiasis with low recurrence rate, but children need to be under general anesthesia with some of big risk. So partial resection of eyelashes is unsuitable for using in clinical practice widely and can be used in special cases.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment quality of juxtaglomerular cell tumor of the kidney. Methods Three patients(2 females, 1 male) were diagnosed with juxtaglomerular cell tumor of kidney and underwent nephron-sparing surgery. Case 1 was female, 15 years old. She presented with hypertention of 245/135 mm Hg. The serum kalium was 2.5--3.0 mmol/L. Thelaboratory examination suggested that in decubitus and standing position, the plasma renin activity (PRA) was 2.2 and 3.5 μg · L-1 · h-1 , angiotensin Ⅱ (ATⅡ) was 181.2 and 481.4 ng/L; aldosterone(ALD) was 332.4 and 747.9 pmol/L, respectively. Dynamic enhanced CT scanning demonstrated a tumor with the diameter of 1.3 cm in right kidney. Case 2 was male, 39 years old. He presented with hypertention of 180/120 mm Hg. The serum kalium was 2. 7--3.0 mmol/L. In decubitus and standing position, PRAwas8.1 and 9.2 μg·L-1 · h-1, ATⅡ was 198.3 and 279.1 ng/L, ALD was 285.3 and 761.7 pmol/L, respectively. Dynamic enhanced CT scanning showed a tumor with the diameter of 1.2 cm in right kidney. Case 3 was female, 26 years old. She presented with hypertention of 210/120 mm Hg. The serum kalium was 4. 1 mmol/L. In decubitus and standing position, PRA was 0.1 and 0.3 μg · L-1·h-1 , ATⅡ 56.2 and 71.5 ng/L, ALD 321.3 and 421.1 pmol/L, respec tively. On dynamic enhanced CT scanning, a tumor with a diameter of 3.0era was located in left kidney. Results Partial nephrectomy was successfully performed in 3 patients, including 1 (case 2) retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. Pathologic examination revealed encapsulated tumors in all cases. Light microscopically, the tumor consisted of clusters of polygonal cells, and the cell had centrally located nuclei and slightly eosinophilic cytoplasm. Thick walled vessels were usually present. The tumors showed positive immunostaining for actin and CD34. Three patients were followed up for 23,4, 26 months respectively and all remained normotensive without any treatment. No recurrence or metastasis occurred. Conclusions Hypertention, increased PRA, secondary aldosteronism, hypokalemia are characteristics for juxtaglomerular cell tumor of the kidney. Dynamic enhanced CT scanning has high sensitivity. Partial nephrectomy or enucleation of tumor are both effective surgical treatment. Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective as well.
