Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment experience of salivary pleomorphic adenoma in children. Methods:Thirty patients with salivary pleomorphic adenomas treated in Beijing Childrens Hospital from January 2008 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, including 11 boys and 19 girls, with the age ranging from 0.3 to 14.4 years（median age 10.4 years）. Initial presentation, medical history, imaging workups, surgical approaches, complications, rates of recurrence were evaluated. Results:Major salivary gland lesions were most common（n=24, 80%）; 53.3%（16 of 30） arising in the submandibular glands and 26.7%（8 of 30） in the parotid. Minor salivary gland lesions（n=6, 20%） were removed from the palate, tongue, face, trachea, nasopharynx, and upper mediastinumand. Preoperative imaging was reviewed in all patients and consisted of 26 ultrasound exams, 2 computerized tomography（CT） exams, and 15 magnetic resonance imaging（MRI） exams. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed in 12 patients. Surgical excision was performed in all patients. Postoperative complications included transient facial paresis（n=3）, Pneumonia and pleural effusion（n=1）. Average length of follow-up was 36.7 months; confirmed recurrence occurred in one patients. Conclusion:The symptoms of salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma in children are different according to the location of the tumor. The treatment is complete surgical resection, and a small amount of normal tissue around the tumor should be removed to reduce recurrence.

Objective:To analyze the treatment outcomes and prognoses of children with head and neck non-parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma (HNnPM RMS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with HNnPM RMS admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2012 to September 2022. The clinical features, comprehensive treatment modes and prognoses of the patients were analyzed. The overall survival rate (OS) and event free survival rate (EFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate analysis was performed using the Log-rank test.Results:A total of 70 children were included in this study, 38 males and 32 females, with a median age of 47 months (2-210 months). Pathological subtypes including the embryonal in 27 cases, the alveolar in 36 cases and the spindle cell and sclerosing in 7 cases. Thirty children (83.3%) with alveolar type were positive for FOXO1 gene fusion. All 70 children underwent chemotherapy, including 38 with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 32 with adjuvant chemotherapy. Sixty of 70 children underwent surgery, of whom, 10 underwent two or more surgeries. There were 63 children underwent radiotherapy, including 54 with intensity-modulated radiation therapy, 4 with particle implantation and 5 with proton therapy. The median follow-up was 45 (5-113) months, the 5-year OS was 73.2%, and the 5-year EFS was 57.7%. Univariate analysis showed lymph node metastasis ( χ2=5.022, P=0.025), distant metastasis ( χ2=8.258, P=0.004), and high Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study (IRS) group ( χ2=9.859, P=0.029) as risk factors for poor prognosis. Before June 2016, the 5-year OS based on BCH-RMS-2006 scheme was 63.6%, and after 2016, the 5-year OS based on CCCG-RMS-2016 scheme was 79.6%. Conclusion:Multidisciplinary combined standardized treatment can offer good treatment outcome and prognosis for children with HNnPM RMS. Local control is a key to the efficacy of comprehensive treatment.

Objective:To explore the currents status of central vascular access devices (CVADs) in children's medical center in China and to provide a reference for the standardized use of CVADs and specialized nursing as well as a basis for pediatric intravenous therapy management.Methods:Totally 31 hospitals of Futang Research Center of Pediatric Development, children's hospitals of the medical treatment alliance as well as women and children care centers and general hospitals with pediatric departments were selected by convenient sampling from July 23rd to 31st, 2018. All the pediatric patients using CVADs were investigated with the Central Vascular Access Device Questionnaire which was designed by the research group, and the incidence of complications was also observed. Totally 1 333 questionnaires were collected, among which 1 288 were valid, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 96.62%.Results:There were 22 ClassⅢ and 9 ClassⅡ hospitals among the 31 hospitals. Among the 1 288 pediatric patients who used CVADs, 860 used peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) , accounting for 66.77%; 342 used central venous catheters (CVC) , accounting for 26.55%; 77 used implantable venous access port (PORT) , accounting for 5.98%; and 9 used umbilical venous catheters, accounting for 0.70%. CVADs were mainly used in the Departments of Hematological Neoplasms, ICU, Intensive Care Unit Pediatric Surgery, Vasculocardiology and Neonatals. PICC, CVC and PORT were mainly applied to upper extremities (90.00%, 74 cases) , jugular vein (73.39%, 251 cases) and the breast (96.10%, 74 cases) respectively. In the maintenance of CVADs, there was the problem of co-existing dressings.Conclusions:CVADs have been widely used in pediatric patients, and the choice of CVADs is relatively standardized. However, the maintenance of the catheters, the use of dressings, the selection of infusion connectors and the control of related complications still need to be strengthened. It is recommended that nursing professionals and nursing managers should further strengthen their knowledge about the placement and maintenance of CVADs, and intensify their management and supervision in accordance with international and national guidelines and standards for intravenous infusion therapy to further reduce the incidence of vascular access complications in pediatric patients.

Objective To observe the effect of local pain alleviation by wet compress with room temperature and low temperature lidocaine and cold wet compress in fructose infusion in children. Meth-ods 120 children patients with pain during fructose infusion were randomly divided into the wet compress group, the room temperature lidocaine group and the low temperature lidocaine group with 40 cases in each group. The analgesic effect was observed in the three groups. Results Analgesic effect of the low temper-ature lidocaine group was significantly better than the other two groups. Conclusions The wet compress with low temperature lidocaine can relieve the local pain in fructose infusion in children.
