Objective:To explore the optimization of surgical procedures for laryngotracheal stenosis and its effect analysis.Methods:The data of 32 patients with acquired laryngotracheal stenosis who received surgical treatment from October 2015 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The age ranged from 19 to 72 years, with an average of (34.0±9.0) years. The medical history ranged from 1 to 32 months (median 3 months). As for etiology, there were 30 cases of iatrogenic laryngotracheal stenosis, including 20 cases of tracheal intubation and 10 cases of tracheotomy (7 cases of percutaneous tracheotomy and 3 cases of traditional tracheotomy). There were 1 case of laryngotracheal trauma and 1 case of airway Penicillium marneffei infection. According to Myer-Cotton grading system, grade Ⅳ stenosis was found in 14 cases, including 12 cases involving trachea and 2 cases involving trachea and subglottic area.There were 18 cases of grade Ⅲ, all of which involved the cervical trachea 5 cases failed in operation in other hospitals. According to stenosis grading, course of disease, primary disease control and the patient′s general condition, the surgical plan was determined individually. The operations of end-to-end anastomosis, circumferential tracheal partial resection, T-tube placement and CO 2 laser tracheal scar resection were performed respectively. The recovery of airway function and perioperative complications were observed one year after operation. Results:End-to-end anastomosis was performed in 16 cases, and partial circumferential tracheal resection in 2 cases, and tracheal granulation (scar) resection by CO 2 laser in 2 cases and T-tube insertion in 12 cases. Eighteen cases which performed end-to-end anastomosis, partial resection of circumferential trachea in and 2 cases which performed laser tracheal scar resection were all recovered airway function at one stage. After 1 year, 19 cases were cured and 1 case was effective. Of 12 patients with T tube implantation, 11 cases were successfully extubated after 6-12 months, 7 cases were cured after 1 year, 2 cases were effective and 3 cases were ineffective. Among the 3 cases of failure, 2 cases were successfully extubated by sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis in the second stage, and the other case refused to accept other treatment methods and the T-tube was placed again, and the tube was blocked and the patient survived. During the follow-up period, the total cure rate was 87.5%, the effective rate was 9.4%, and the total extubation rate was 96.9%.The most common complication was subcutaneous emphysema, accounting for 78% (25/32), but no serious mediastinal emphysema or pneumothorax occurred. In the T-tube implantation group, granulation tissue grew in different degrees around the neck wound after operation, and improved or disappeared after 6-9 months. Anterior cervical tracheal fistula occurred in 4 cases of T-tube implantation group after extubation, which were cured by sealing the stoma. There were no complications such as severe bleeding or perioperative death. Conclusion:When there were various factors, the optimization of the surgical plan according to the degree of stenosis, the course of disease, the control of primary disease and the general condition was an important guarantee to improve the curative effect of laryngotracheal stenosis.

Objective:To assess the efficacy of parent training (PT) on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, behavioral problems, and parenting stress in child with ADHD or ADHD symptoms.Methods:Randomized controlled trials of the effect of PT on ADHD symptoms in Chinese children with ADHD or ADHD symptoms were collected by PsychINFO, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of science, Scopus, China National Knowledge database, WanFang database, the China Science and Technology Journal Database and the China Biology Medicine disc. The quality of the included studies was evaluated by version 2 of the Cochrane tool for assessing risk of bias in randomized trial. Forest plots were drawn using Review Manager 5.4.1, sensitivity analyses of results were performed using Stata 18.0 to assess the stability of the results, and publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's test.Results:A total of 10 studies containing 571 subjects in the experimental group and 562 subjects in the control group met the inclusion exclusion criteria. Significant differences were observed in various measures, including overall ADHD symptoms (MD=-2.43, 95% CI: -3.95--0.91), inattention (MD=-1.10, 95% CI: -1.94--0.26), hyperactivity/impulsivity (SMD=-0.58, 95% CI: -0.87--0.28), overall conduct problems (SMD=-0.80, 95% CI: -1.05--0.55), conduct problem (SMD=-1.34, 95% CI: -2.31--0.37), learning problem (SMD=-0.81, 95% CI: -1.40--0.23), impulsivity/hyperactivity (SMD=-0.53, 95% CI: -0.78--0.29), hyperactivity index (SMD=-1.27, 95% CI: -1.99--0.55), parenting stress index (SMD=-0.69, 95% CI: -1.12--0.26), difficult child (MD=-1.96, 95% CI: -3.44--0.48), dysfunctional interaction (MD=-3.10, 95% CI: -4.43--1.78), and parenting distress (MD=-3.35, 95% CI: -4.59--2.12)(all P<0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in oppositional-defiant disorder, anxiety, or somatic problem. Conclusions:The initial findings suggested that PT was effective for Chinese children with ADHD or ADHD symptoms.The addition of PT appeared to improve core symptoms of ADHD (inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity), conduct problems, and parental stress more effectively than routine care alone.

ObjectiveTo establish and validate a clinical prediction model for 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)risk after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with blood stasis syndrome. MethodThe consecutive CHD patients diagnosed with blood stasis syndrome in the Department of Integrative Cardiology at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from September 1, 2019 to March 31, 2021 were selected for a retrospective study, and basic clinical features and relevant indicators were collected. Eligible patients were classified into a derivation set and a validation set at a ratio of 7∶3, and each set was further divided into a MACEs group and a non-MACEs group. The factors affecting the outcomes were screened out by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) and used to establish a logistic regression model and identify independent prediction variables. The goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC) were employed to evaluate the discrimination, calibration, and clinical impact of the model. ResultA total of 731 consecutive patients were assessed and 404 eligible patients were enrolled, including 283 patients in the derivation set and 121 patients in the validation set. Lasso identified ten variables influencing outcomes, which included age, sex, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), homocysteine (Hcy), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and Gensini score. The multivariate Logistic regression preliminarily identified age, FPG, TG, Hcy, LDL-C, LVEF, and Gensini score as the independent variables that influenced the outcomes. Of these variables, male, high FMD and high LVEF were protective factors, and the rest were risk factors. The prediction model for 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome showed χ2=12.371 (P=0.14) in Hosmer-Lemeshow test and the AUC of 0.90. With the threshold probability > 10%, the model showed better prediction performance for 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome than for that in all the patients. With the threshold probability > 60%, the estimated value was much closer to the real number of patients. ConclusionThe established clinical prediction model facilitates the early prediction of 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome, which can provide ideas for the precise treatment of CHD patients after PCI and has guiding significance for improving the prognosis of the patients. Meanwhile, multi-center studies with larger sample sizes are expected to further validate, improve, and update the model.
