OBJECTIVE:
To investigate effect and safty evaluation of stellate ganglion catheter retention with discontinuous block on sudden deafness.
METHOD:
One hundred and twenty-six patiens with sudden monaural deafness were randomly divided into Catheterp and block and control groups with 42 cases in each group. All patients' throats were given conventional blood activating drugs, hormone and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. stellate ganglion puncture retained catheter were administrated to the patients in catheter group followed by ropivacaine block 1 times/day, block group stellate ganglion puncture and ropivacaine block 1 times/day. The patients in control group were only received routine comprehensive treatment. Patients in both catheter group and block groups were treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy after the block treatment. Curative effects of three groups were observed. The patients' satisfaction, heart rate, the chages of blood pressure before and after the block, detachment of tubes, and adverse drug reaction were recorded.
RESULT:
The effect of the treatment in both catheter group, block group was better than in control group (85.7%, 37 cases); 83.3%, 35 cases) vs 64.3%, 27 cases, P < 0.05). The satisfactory rate in the patients in catheter group was significantly higher than block group (83.3%, 35 cases vs 61.9%, 26 cases, P < 0.05). The heart rate and the blood pressure before and 5 minutes after catheterization in catheter group and block groupwere changed obviously. Moreover, no adverse drug reaction and detachment of tubes were observed.
CONCLUSION
It is a safe and effective administration of stellate ganglion catheter retention with interrupted ropivacaine block.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of the children with malignancy-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (MAHS) in Beijing in recent decade.
Methods:
The clinical data of the patients with MAHS under 18 years old from July 2007 to February 2018 collected by the Society of Beijing hemophagocytic syndrome were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
There were 46 patients under 18 years old with MAHS in all(male 27, female 19). The patients with MAHS took up 8.9% of the patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)(46/519 cases) from the area during that period.The median age of onset had 13.5 years (0.9-18.0 years). Thirty-five patients had lymphoma (76.0%), 9 cases had leukemia (19.6%), 1 case had myelodysplastic syndrome with refractory anemia with excess blast(RAEB-T), and 1 case had Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) associated lymphoproliferative disease (borderline tumor stage). All the patients had a fever.A half of them suffered from hepatosplenomegaly and 7 patients(15.2%) had neurological symptoms.The common laboratory abnormalities included cytopenias, hemophagocytosis in bone marrow (81.8%, 36/44 cases), elevated serum ferritin (87.8%, 36/41 cases), and elevated sCD25 (100.0%, 15/15 cases), decreased nature killer(NK) activity (61.1%, 11/18 cases), and plasma EBV-DNA positive (57.9%). Four patients did not receive treatment, the rest were treated by several chemotherapy protocols including the HLH-94/2004 protocol.Five patients (10.8%) received the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and 1 case received the splenectomy therapy.The mortality was 58.7%.Four heterozygous mutations of
