OBJECTIVE To study the causes of recurrent sinusitis and polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery and discuss the relative factors to affect the outcome of revision endoscopic sinus surgery. METHODS Revision endoscopic sinus surgery were performed on 54 cases with recurrent sinusitis and polyps by using the Messerklinger technique and Stryker debrider. RESULTS Follow-up for more than 6 months, 34 cases were cured (63.0 %) and 14 improved (25.9 %) with the total effective rate of 88.9%. The other 6 cases were ineffective (11.1%). Among 54 cases, orbital hematoma occurred in 1 patient after operation, but no cerebrospinal fistula and other serious complication occurred. CONCLUSION Sufficient and appropriate perioperative treatment, being familiar with the important anatomic structures and mastering excellent endoscopic surgical skill are the keys to improve the effective rate of revision endoscopic sinus surgery.

Objective To investigate the instant clinical efficacy of intra-arterial infusion of fasudil combined with routine anti-vasospasm for symptomatic cerebral vasospasm (SCVS). Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to ruptured aneurysm, who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from May 2010 and February 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. The lesions included Fisher gradeⅡ(n=2), gradeⅢ (n=16) and gradeⅣ (n=3). Endovascular embolization of the aneurysm was carried out within 48 hours after the confirmation of the diagnosis with total cerebral DSA;no bleeding occurred during the operation and routine anti-vasospasm therapy was given. Within 4-9 days after the onset of the disease, all 21 patients presented SCVS. Half dose systemic heparinization, superselective intra-arterial infusion of fasudil (30 mg fasudil+250 ml saline, lasting for 30 min) were adopted. Reexamination of angiography performed at 15 min after fasudil infusion was employed, and the results were evaluated with NIHSS score by comparing the preoperative findings. Results Imaging examination performed after the treatment showed that significant improvement was obtained in 15 patients and no obvious changes in 6 patients. Clinical symptoms were remarkably improved in 11 patients, partially improved in 4 patients and remained unchanged in 6 patients. The mean NIHSS score was improved from preoperative 28.6 to postoperative 21.2. Conclusion For the treatment of symptomatic cerebral vasospasm, superselective intra-arterial infusion of fasudil is effective and safe, and it has good clinical application value.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic factors in predicting relapse of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with CCLG-2008 protocol. Methods From December 1st 2008 and December 31st 2012, 358 patients diagnosed with ALL and treated with the CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol were enrolled in this study. All patients were followed up until September 1st, 2015. Prognostic impact of clinical features, response to treatment, biological features were analyzed and multivariate analysis of predicted value was performed by Cox-regression analysis. Results After treatment of CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol, 79 patients suffered from relapse. The relapse rate in the standard-risk, intermediate-risk and the high-risk groups were 13.3%, 17.6%, and 41.3%, respectively (P?0.05). The number of very early relapse, early relapse and late relapse were 25, 29, 25, respectively, accounting for 31.6%, 36.7%, and 31.6%. The relapse rates in patients in B-ALL with initial leukocyte counts>100×109/L, non-remission in 15th day of induction (M3), the level of minimal residual disease (MRD) on 12w (12w-MRD)?>10-4 were signiifcantly higher, their corresponding hazard ratio were 3.17 (1.58?~?6.36), 1.87 (1.07?~?3.30), and 1.90 (1.12?~?3.20), respectively (P?0.05). Conclusions After treatment with the CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol, a relatively high relapse rate is observed in children with high-risk ALL. High initial leukocyte counts, non-remission in D15-BM and 12w-MRD>10-4 were the independent prognostic factors for childhood B-ALL.
