Otitis media is a common problem in children, which may cause hearing loss and complications sometimes. This topic will review the definition, causes, types, clinical characteristics and treatments of each type of ear infections in children, by reading recently literatures. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis and choose a appropriate treatment of otitis media in children to avoid antibiotics abusing. Sometime some cases need operations, which are effective, especially in chronic suppurative otitis media and cholesteatoma, and we need further studying focuse on when do the operations and how to shoose them.

Objective To study suitability of a series of lyophilized serum with definitive HBV DNA value in fluorescence quantitative COBAS Amplicor HBM kit and a sample with 106 copies/ml HBV DNA was prepared, and sent to various manufactures which would be asked to detect the samples using their own kits. Then a calibration curves from CT values of the series to the corresponding concentrations was compared with that obtained from the external standard-calibration curve with the manufactures series. Results The standard-calibration curve with the series of lyophilized serum showed an excellent correlation (

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of perioperative application of Eucalyptol,limonene and pinene(ELP)en-teric soft capsules on therapeutic efficacy and prognosis in children after grommet insertion of chronic secretory otitis media. METH-ODS:92 cases(145 ears)of chronic secretory otitis media were divided into 2 groups by random number table method,including 46 cases in observation group(68 ears)and 46 cases in control group(77 ears). Both groups received grommet insertion under gen-eral anesthesia by otomicroscope. Control group was not given any drugs;observation group was given ELP enteric soft capsules 1.2 g,bid,from 3 d before operation to 5 d after operation. Subjective therapeutic efficacy and pure tone audiometry of 2 groups were observed 3 days,5 days,2 weeks,1 month and 3 months after surgery as well as acoustic impedance monitoring in children with tube withdrawal from ear 1 month and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS:The total effective rates of observation group 3 days,5 days,2 weeks,1 month and 3 months after surgery were 72.06%,82.35%,85.29%,89.70%and 95.59%;those of con-trol group were 59.74%,66.23%,80.52%,87.01% and 92.21%,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The pure tone audiome-try score of observation group 3 days,5 days,2 weeks,1 month and 3 months after surgery were significantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Therapeutic effective rates of acoustic impedance monitoring in children with tube withdrawal from ear 1 month and 3 months after surgery were 77.78% and 90.48% in observation group,which were signifi-cantly higher than 61.54% and 81.48% in control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The periopera-tive application of ELP enteric soft capsules can significantly improve function recovery and hearing level in children after grommet insertion of chronic secretory otitis media.

Objective To establish a statistics internal quality control method for false-positive in clinical qualitative immunoassays.Methods When the positive rates are normal distribution, the half-Levey-Jennings chart can be used. Based on the positive rates of more than 20 runs routine tests, mean value and standard deviation (SD) were calculated and quality control chart was plotted.The control rules are 1_ +2S for out-of-control.For non-normal distribution data, elementary probability calculation could be used.ResultsThe half-Levey-Jennings chart and elementary probability calculation are suitable for statistics internal quality control method for false-positive in clinical qualitative immunoassays.Conclusion The proposed internal quality control statistics method for false-positive monitoring in clinical qualitative immunoassays is practical and useful.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with standardized Dermatophagoides farina drops in monosensitized and polysensitized patients with allergic rhinitis. METHOD: The clinical data of 162 patients treated with standardized Dermatophagoides farina drops were analyzed retrospectively. These patients were divided into the monoallergen sensitized group and polyallergen sensitized group according to the results of skin prick tests. The total nasal symptoms score (TNSS), the total medication score (TMS) and adverse effects (AEs) were evaluated before treatment, 2 year after SLIT treatment and 3 year after drug discontinuance. Result:After SLIT treatment for 2 years and drug discontinuance for 3 years, the TNSS (3. 14[2. 47; 3. 65], 3. 45 [2. 76; 3. 92], respectively) and TMS (0. 42[0. 36; 0. 57],0. 35[0. 26; 0. 44], respectively) in the monoallergen sensitized group were lower than that before the treatment (TNSS: 9. 00 [8. 00; 10. 00], TMS: 2. 16 [1. 88; 2. 37]), which have showed a statistically significant difference(P<0. 05). Similarly, after SLIT treatment for 2 years and drug discontinuance for 3 years, the TNSS (3. 14[2. 46; 3. 63], 4. 23[3. 65; 4. 96], respectively) and TMS (0. 42[0. 36; 0. 58], 0. 50[0. 34; 0. 72], respectively) in the polyallergen sensitized group were lower than that before the treatment (TNSS: 9. 00[8. 00; 10. 00], TMS: 2. 18[1. 95; 2. 37]), which have showed a statistically significant difference(P<0. 05). No statistically significant finding could be observed in monoallergen and polyallergen sensitized group before the treatment and 2 years after treatment, respectively. However, a statistically significant finding could be observed between two groups in the drug discontinuance for 3 years (P<0. 05). Eleven patients suffered local adverse effects, and the incidence of adverse effects showed no significantly difference (P>0. 05). CONCLUSION SLIT with standardized Dermatophagoides farina drops has a long-term efficacy in monosensitized and polysensitized patients with allergic rhinitis. Moreover, a longer SLIT treatment (>2 years) may be necessary to consolidate its efficacy.

Objective To explore the association between body mass index(BMI)/waist circumference (WC)and blood triglyceride(TG)level in adults. To evaluate the value of the BMI and WC in diagnosing the hypertriglyceridemia by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Methods A total of 1 093 adults(707men and 356 women)were examined in our hospital from July to September in 2008.Height,weight,WC and blood triglyceride were measured and analyzed.The ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the threshold values.Results The hypertriglyceridemia rate was 33.5%among men and 8.3%among women.The BMI and WC of hypertriglyceridemia group were significantly higher than those of normal TG group for both men and women(P<0.01).The area under ROC curve was 0.728±0.041 for men and 0.708±0.021 for women when using BMI to predict hypertriglyceridemia.The optimal threshold value was 24.5 for men and 22.5 for women.The area under ROC curve was 0.790±0.042 for men and 0.714±0.020 for women when using WC to predict hypertriglyceridemia.The optimal threshold value was 86 cm for men and 77 cm for women.Conclusions Both BMI and WC are associated blood triglyceride level. WC and BMI are useful parameters in predicting hypertriglyceridemia.

Objective To investigate the value of laparoscopy in the treatment of liver cancer.Methods The clinical data of 128 liver cancer patients who received laparoscopic surgery at Southwest Hospital from March 2007 to October 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Of all patients,116 were with primary liver cancer,and 12 with metastatic liver cancer.There were 107 patients who received laparoscopie bepatectomy,15 received laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation(RFA)and 6 received laparoscopic ligation of the right branch of portal vein.Results Of the 107 patients who received laparoscopic bepatectomy,7 were converted to open surgery,and 5 were converted to hand-assisted laparoscopic hepatectomy.Anatomical hepatectomy was performed on 88 patients,including left lateral lobectomy on 21,left hemihepatectomy on 15,extended left hemihepatectomy on 2,medial lobectomy on 1,right hemihepatectomy on 11,right posterior lobeetomy on 9 and hepatic segmentectomy on 29.Combined hepatic resection was performed on 4 patients,and nonanatomical hepatectomy on 15.The mean oporatire time and blood loss were(228±92)minutes and(393±213)ml,with no operative mortality.The mean postoperative hospital stay was(8±4)days,and the incidence of complications was 15%(16/107).A total of 126 patients were followed up for 1-42 months,12 patients with laparoscopic hepatectomy died within 16 months,with the mean survival time of(118±7)weeks and the mean tumor free survival time of(105±7)weeks;2 patients with laparoscopic RFA died within 11 months:2 patients with laparoseopie ligation of the right branch of portal vein received two-stage radical resection.Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible with the advantages of minimal operative trauma and quick recovery of patients when it is applied to the treatment of liver cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To observe and analyze the function and morphology of pharyngeal ostium of the eustachian tubes in secretory otitis media and chronic rhinosinusitis in children under direct vision,in order to provide an objective basis for clinical treatments. METHOD: Fifty cases of secretory otitis media,50 cases of chronic rhinosinusitis and a control group of 50 cases with hoarseness were examined under video laryngoscope to observe the pharyngeal ostium morphological changes of the eustachian tubes, and their functional statuses were tested by using acoustic impedance instrument. All the data were analyzed by statistical methods. RESULT: (1) In the secretory otitis group, the abnomal rate of the pharyngeal ostium of the eustachian tubes was 94% while the chronic rhinosinusitis group was 80%,and between them there was no significant differences (P > 0.05). But both of them had significant differences with the control group (P < 0.05). (2) In the secretory otitis group, the rate of the eustachian tube dysfunction was 70% while the chronic rhinosinusitis group was 26%, and between them there was significant differences (P < 0.05), and both of them have significant differences when compared with the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION There are some abnormal points exist in the function and the morphology of the eustachian tube in secretory otitis media and chronic rhinosinusitis in children. Eustachian tube dysfunction played a dominant role in the pathogenesis of secretory otitis media in children rather than the morphological change did compared to the chronic rhinosinusitis in children.
