OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical value of transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy for the pediatric sinusitis. METHOD: Patients with chronic sinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy were divided into two group by undertaken with or without adenoidectomy, the operation group with 43 cases and the control group with 40 cases. Evaluation was performed in pretherapy and after 3 months therapy. Evaluation index included symptom scale for nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea, endoscopy score and CT score for chronic sinusitis. RESULT: There was a positive correlation (0.38) between the adenoid size and the symptom of nasal obstruction (P < 0.01). But there were no correlation between the adenoid size and the other index scores (P > 0.05). Whether in the operation group or the control group, all index scores in pretherapy were higher than in post-therapy (P < 0.05). After 3 month therapy, all index scores in the operation group were lower than the control group (P < 0.01). The decreased amplitude of all index scores in the the operation group were higher than the control group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Adenoidectomy combined with topical nasal treatment is one effective method for the pediatric sinusitis. Adenoidectomy play an important role in the treatment of pediatric rhinosinusitis.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the varieties,causes and preventions of severe complications in OSAHS patients with delayed extubation after surgery.METHODS The clinical dates of 548 OSAHS patients with delayed extubation after surgery were retrospectively analyzed,in order to explore the incidence,reasons,and the prevention and control of severe complications.RESULTS There were 14 cases with severe complications in 548 OSAHS patients,including 1 case of septicemia,one case of nasal alar scar formation,one case of cerebral infarction,2 cases of massive hemorrhage,2 cases of tube dislocation,2 cases of ventilator resistance,2 cases of apnea,3 cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia.All of the14 cases recovered after dealing with the corresponding measures.No dead happened.CONCLUSION The incidence of complications in OSAHS patients with delayed extubation is relatively high.In order to improve the prognosis,more attentions should be paid to the airway care and manipulation in the course of treatment.When the complications happened,corresponding treatments should be done in time.If the patients' respiratory function and airway patency were normal,extubation as early as possible could reduce the incidence of complications.

The aim of this study is to construct an injectable gel with stable phototherapy and chemotherapy. Res-PTX@IR780 gel with phototherapy and chemotherapy property was prepared by introduction of photosensitizer IR780 and antioxidant resveratrol (Res) into the polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution of paclitaxel (PTX). The results showed that PTX, PTX@IR780 and Res-PTX@IR780 could form gels and the gels were injectable. ATR-FTIR results indicated not only components of the gels but also the formation of hydrogen bonding during the gelation. The results of UV showed instability of IR780 solution and stability improvement of Res-IR780 solution under infrared radiation (IR) irradiation. Photothermal tests showed that Res-PTX@IR780 displayed better photothermal conversion and photothermal stability under multiple irradiations than PTX@IR780. The results of
