Objective To investigate the role of CT three-dimensional reconstruction (3D-CT) in the diagnosis of bronchial foreign body.Methods Thirty-seven suspected pediatric cases of bronchial foreign bodies underwent CT scanning and 3D-CT reconstruction,whose accuracy was defined by bronchoscopical or surgical findings.Results For all the 37 cases,chest X-ray showed 8 cases (group A) had bronchial foreign body,while 29 cases(group B) were negative.In group A,CT findings suggested lung infection in 5 cases,congenital pulmonary dysplasia-lung lobe absence in 2 cases and tracheo-esophageal fistula in 1 case.In group B (29 patients),25 cases with bronchial foreign bodies were suspected by CT scanning and further bronchoscopical examination confirmed the existence of 24 cases of vegetable foreign body,one case of the tracheal tumor.For the four cases with negative result of bronchial foreign bodies after CT scanning,lung infection and laryngitis were confirmed in two cases respectively.Among the 24 surgically-confirmed cases of vegetable foreign bodies,CT scanning showed tracheobronchial foreign body in fourteen positive results,irregular tracheal stenosis in six cases and obstructive atelectasis,emphysema,pneumonia in seven each.Tracheobronchial foreign body and irregular tracheal stenosis were direct signs,accounting for 74%(20/27).Obstructive atelectasis,emphysema and pneumonia were indirect signs,accounting for 26%(7/27).Conclusion 3D-CT plays an important role in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bronchial foreign body.

Objective To update the knowledge of contact allergy to topical corticosteroids.Methods A total Of 1,822 patients,who Sufiered from inflammatory skin disorders but did not respond well to topical corticosteroids,were enrolled into this study.Patch test was performed on these subjects with corticosteroid allergens,following the standardized rocedures ecommended by the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group(ICDRG).Results Of all patients,78(4.28%)had positive patch test.Among the 78 patients,33 were males,45 females,and most were young or middle-aged.During 96-168 hours after the removal of patches,positive results Were observed in 42.31%(33/78)of the patients.Twenty eight patients had anaphy lactic reaction induced by hydrocortisone butyrate,25 by dexamethasone sodium phosphate,and 17 by triam cinolone acetonide.A correlation Between sensitizing glucocorticoids detected by patch testing and adminis trated drugs in clinic was found in 74 cases.ConclusionsContact allergy caused by topical corticosteroids is not rare,and more attention should be paid to this issue in the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders.

Objective To discuss the reduction mammaplasty procedures by reserving the T4 nerve and blood vessels and by repairing the ligament for macromastia patients. Meths Eighteen cases of macromastia were enrolled in this study. The supeior and inferior polar portions on the median line of the breast were dissected to form a central pedicle. Outside deep and fleet branches of the ligament were repaired and the lateral deep and fleet branches of the 4th intercostal nerve reserved in the pedicle. The pedicle was revolved and fixed, the fundus of breast was reduced and the tensile force of the ligament was enhanced. The operation of two-flap rotated flaps reduced the breast volume from inside to the outside. The corium where T4 intercostal nerve distributed skin was reserved to protect the fleet branches of the nerve, and then rotated and fixed to act as a fibrous septum. Results After the operation, the blood vessel and feeling of nipple-areola complex were all satisfactory and the profile of breast was tall and straight. Follow-up from 3 months to 2 years (7 months in average) showed that the scar was unconspicuous, the appearance of the breast was not evidently changed and the patients were satisfactory. Conclusion It is a simple and well-designed procedure of reduction mammaplasty for macromastia with repaired ligment and reserved 4th intercostal nerve. The breast profile is tall and straight after the operation.

Objective To study the effect of local mild hypothermia on the expression of matrix metallopro- teinases-2/9 (MMP-2/9) and brain edema in experimental intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rat. Methods One hundred and forty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normothermia sham-operation (NSO) group ( n = 15 ), a normothermia intracerebral hemorrhage (NICH) group (n = 75 ) and a mild hypotbermia intracerebral hemor- rhage (MHICH) group (n = 75). Autologous arterial blood was stereotaxically injected into the right caudate nucleus of the rats of the NICH and MHICH groups to make intracerebral hemorrhage model. The rats in the MHICH group were then subjected to 4 hours of local mild hypothermia, while those in the NICH group were under the room temper- ature. The brain water content, permeability of brain-blood barrier (BBB) and expressions of MMP-2/9 were meas- ured by immunohistochemistry method at 6 h, 24 h, 72 h, 5 d and 7 d after operation. Results In NICH group, the brain water content, permeability of BBB and expression of MMP-9 all began to increase at 6 h and peaked at 3 d after injection of blood and still higher than the NSO group at 7 d. The expression of MMP-2 only began to increase little at 24 h and peaked at 5 d after operation and remained highly expressed at 7 d. In the MHICH group, the chan- ges of brain water content, permeability of BBB and expression of MMP-9 were similar to those of the NICH group, but the extent of changes was significantly lower at the every time point. In NICH group and MHICH group, MMP-9 expression was positively correlated with both the brain water content and the permeability of BBB, but MMP-2 ex- pression was not correlated with them. Conclusion Mild hypothermia might protect BBB against injury caused by ICH and relieve brain edema and inflammation reaction through inhibiting the expression of MMP-2/9.

Objective To investigate the usage of distortion product otoacoustic emissions(DPOAE) in normal infants hearing screening.Methods One hundred infants(200 ears) without clinical condition of illness were checked in GSI 70 DPOAE screening.The pure tones were 2,3,4 kHz,the OAE screener scored the test result as a pass,when the responses were above the PASS/REFER line and the signal-to-noise was at least 10 dB.Results Ninty-four infants(188 ears) passed hearing screening. Four infants(8 ears) with ceruminous impaction didn′t pass screening;after extracting impacted cerumen from the external auditory meatus,the 4 infants(8 ears) passed screening.Two infants(2 ears) with secretory otitis media didn′t pass screening,but after medicine treatment for 1 week,they passed screening too.Conclusion DPOAE has advantages in infants hearing screening.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2006,21(3):168-169

Objective To find out the situation of Kashin-Beck disease and it's dynamic changes in Yan'an city, and provide basis for decision-making on prevention and control of the disease. Methods In accordance with the national monitoring program on Kaschin-Beck disease, 21 villages were selected from 6counties in Yan'an, clinical and X-ray inspection of 7 to 13 year-old children were made according to historical illness information from 2006 to 2008. Clinical monitoring on Kashin-Beck disease was made in 2008 for people over 16 years old from 5 villages in 5 counties. Results One thousand and one hundred eighty children were found positive with the illness from 2006 to 2008, with 7 cases of grade Ⅰ , the detection rate was 0.59%(7/1180).One thousand and one hundred sixty-two people were taken X-ray photo on right hand, with no positive case found.In 2008, 1444 adults were taken clinical examination, the detection of grade Ⅰ and over were 160 cases, the detection rate was 11.08%(160/1444), mainly in the age of 36 years[93.75%(150/160)]. Conclusion KashinBeck disease in Yan'an city is in stable condition, but surveillance and preventing measures are stilled needed.
