Objective:To analyze the immune function regulation and clinical effect of dust mite drops desensitization treatment on children with allergic rhinitis.Methods:80 patients with allergic rhinitis and adenoid hypertrophy treated in our department from January 2012 to June 2014 were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group.Control group was treated with ebastine and levocabastine treatment, the experimental group was treated with sublingual containing Dermatophagoides Farinae Drops on the basis of control group.The level of IL-2,IL-6,house dust mite specific IgE (sIgE),dust mite IgE (T-IgE),house dust mite specific IgG4 ( sIgE in) ,blood addicted eosinophile cells ( EOS) ,and induced sputum EOS level were compared between the two groups before treatment and after 2 years treatment.Results:The level of IL-2 in the two groups was significantly higher than that before treatment,the level of IL-6 was significantly lower than that before treatment ( P<0.05 ) .After treatment, the level of IL-2 in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group, the level of IL-6 was significantly lower than that in the control group( P<0.05 ).After treatment, the level of sIgE, T-IgE, blood EOS and induced sputum EOS in the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment,the level of sIgG4 were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05).After the treatment,the level of sIgE, T-IgE, blood EOS and induced sputum EOS in experimental group were significantly lower than control group,and the level of sIgG4 was significantly higher than that in control group ( P<0.05).After treatment,the asthma symptom scores and nasal symptom scores of the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment (P<0.05),and those index of experimental group after treatment were significantly lower than control group ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion: Combine the basis of conventional therapy plus with Dermatophagoides Farinae Drops in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and adenoid hypertrophy children can effectively regulate the immune function of the patients,has good clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:
Explore the model of universal NICU newborns' hearing screening in high-risk neonates, preliminary understanding factor of hearing damage.
METHOD:
Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) and automatic auditory brainstem response (AABR) were used to detect newborns' hearing in 13 315 objects, that is newborns' hearing screening in NICU with TEOAE test who not pass, 42 days after will use AABR rescreening. Children's Hearing Center of Guangxi Child Health Hospital will diagnose the newborns that did not pass in 3 months.
RESULT:
In these 13 315 newborns, 5 151 subjects who did not pass the initial screening, 1910 subjects who also did not pass after 42 days, 1167 subjects cannot pass the rescreening after 3 months, 642 subjects were diagnosed congenital hearing impairment by Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential Test, the rate is 4.82%.
CONCLUSION
TEOAE and AABR are the suitable model of universal newborns' hearing screening in high-risk neonates.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with a rare non-deletional hemoglobin H disease (Hb H disease).
METHODS:
Peripheral venous blood samples of the proband and his parents were collected and subjected to routine blood testing, hemoglobin electrophoresis and screening for common mutations associated with thalassemia. Next generation sequencing was carried out to detect potential pathogenic variant, and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS:
The proband was found to harbor a rare HbA2: c272_279delAGCTTCGG variant, which compounded with southeast Asian type deletion of α-thalassemia (--SEA). The two mutations were respectively inherited from his mother and father.
CONCLUSION
The rare HbA2: c.272_279delAGCTTCGG variant compounded with southeast Asian type α-thalassemia (--SEA) probably underlay the non-deletion Hb H in the proband. Above finding has enabled genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this family.

Objective:To investigate and compare the predictive effects of two postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prediction models in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy.Methods:The total of 227 elderly patients who underwent thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy in Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from October 2021 to January 2022 were collected. Apfel risk score and Koivuranta risk score were used to predict the risk of PONV in each patient. The area under the ROC curve was used to evaluate the discrimination ability of the two prediction models; Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the calibration of the two prediction models.Results:Among 227 patients, 74 had PONV, and the incidence of PONV was 32.6%. The area under the ROC curve of Apfel and Koivuranta risk scores in the risk prediction of PONV in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy were 0.640 and 0.683 respectively. There was no significant difference between the two ( Z=1.54, P>0.05). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the accuracy of the two models in predicting PONV risk in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy was better ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The difference between the two models in PONV risk prediction in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy is general, Koivuranta model is more suitable for predicting PONV in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy, but its applicability is still insufficient.
