Objectives:To analyze the safety and clinical effect of airway diagnosis in multifactor suspicious difficult airway patients with complex mouth restriction after entering the operating room.Methods:From March 2018 to May 2023, a total of 21 patients with suspicious difficult airway with complex mouth restriction were collected from the Northwest Women′s and Children′s Hospital and the Third Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University, who were evaluated according to LEMON airway evaluation rule. Ventilation capacity score, airway airway score with soft vision mirror and comprehensive airway score of difficult airway were performed after admission to the operating room. Patients diagnosed with non-difficult airway were divided into group N and patients diagnosed with difficult airway were divided into group D. The number and proportion of patients in the two groups were counted, and the process of airway diagnosis, the way of airway establishment, the results, the frequency of hypoventilation during airway establishment, the number of intubation, and the time of airway establishment were analyzed.Results:A total of 15 patients in group N, accounting for 71.4%, underwent rapid intravenous induction nasal intubation after diagnosis of non-difficult airway, and the intubation was successful all the time. No hypoventilation occurred in all patients during intubation. A total of 6 patients in the group D, accounting for 28.6%, were assisted by pure oxygen mask ventilation after diagnosis of difficult airway, and underwent awake nasotracheal intubation after recovery. 4 patients were successfully intubated once, 2 patients were successfully intubated twice, and 1 patient experienced one hypopnea during the evaluation of ventilation capacity. The airway establishment time of the group N was (9.3±0.8)min, and that of the group D was (20.0±2.0)min, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The airway establishment time of all patients was (12.0±5.0)min, and the awake intubation time was (12.0±0.7.0)min. The proportion of patients satisfied with anesthesia in the group N was higher than that in the group D, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). No agitation during sevoflurane induction or recovery was observed in both groups. Conclusions:The diagnosis procedure of difficult airway can be safely applied to patients with multi-factor suspicious difficult airway with complex mouth restriction. Most of these patients do not have truly difficult airways; The application of difficult airway diagnosis procedures in these patients can significantly reduce unnecessary awake endotracheal intubation; Compared with the direct choice of awake intubation, following the difficult airway diagnosis procedure does not increase airway establishment time in such patients.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of interposition urethroplasty on glandular hypospadias and severe penile curvature.Methods:A total of 9 cases of congenital glandular hypospadias and 2 cases of congenital severe penile curvature (>30°) treated with the interposition urethroplasty technique in the Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from November 2008 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The mean age of initial surgery was 40 (25-109) months.Two cases were surgically treated with one-staged interposition urethroplasty and the remaining were treated with two-staged interposition urethroplasty.They were followed up for 8 months to 12 years, including the penile morphology, urination, urethrocutaneous fistula, urethral stricture and uroflowmetry.Continuous variables were presented as ± s deviation, Student′s t-test was used for comparison between groups. Results:The median length of interposition urethra was 3.2 (2.2-4.2) cm.The cosmetic appearance of penis was good without residual chordee, urethral stricture or urethral diverticulum in all patients.Two cases had urethrocutaneous fistula(one-staged repair and two-staged repair were performed in one case respectively), which were successfully repaired by re-operation.The maximum of uroflowmetry in patients at 3 months [(8.3±1.0) mL/s] and 6 months [(6.7±1.9) mL/s] after surgery was significantly lower than that of children in healthy control group [(10.5±3.7) mL/s] ( t=3.221, 3.864, all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in 1-year maximum of uroflowmetry postoperatively between surgically treated patients [(10.5±3.7) mL/s] and healthy control group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Interposition urethroplasty is an effective and safe treatment for glandular hypospadias and/or severe penile curvature in children.

Objective To study the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of torsion of testes in newborn. Method Neonates who were diagnosed with neonatal testicular torsion and admitted to Shenzhen Children's Hospital from March 2008 to July 2018 were studied. The clinical data such as days in age, time of onset, clinical manifestations, time of ultrasound examination, characteristics of ultrasound examination, surgery time, surgical types, postoperative conditions, pathological findings, and follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed. Result A total of 12 infants with torsion of testes were enrolled. The average onset time was 2.9 d, ranged from 1～10 d. The time of onset was within 24 h after birth in six infants. The median duration from onset to seeing a doctor was 3.5 d, ranged from 2 h to 28 d. First manifestations being reported grammer were scrotal swelling or mass, including 7 cases on the left side and 5 cases on the right side. Among them, 9 cases were associated with redness or cyanosis of the scrotum. Ultrasound was characterized by the disappearance or significant reduction of testicular parenchymal blood flow signal, and the sensitivity of ultrasound was 100％. The average time from admission to operation was (2.1±1.1) h. All the 12 infants had orchiectomy,after necrosis of unilateral testicle was confirmed. Eight of them underwent contralateral test icular fixation. The average operation time was 46 min. There was no wound bleeding or infection postoperatively, and the average hospital stay was 6.4 d. The pathological features were blurred residual contour of the seminiferous tubule (9 cases) or the disappearance of the seminiferous tubule structure (3 cases). After 3 to 24 months of follow-up, no contralateral testicular torsion or atrophy was found. Conclusion The rate of testicular necrosis in children with torsion of testes is high. The newborn with scrotal swelling should be diagnosed promptly with color Doppler ultrasound. If necessary, surgical exploration should be performed in time.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of 0.1％ mometasone furoate cream in the treatment of phimosis in children.Methods A prospective study was carried out over two years period on an outpatient which basis on two groups of patients with severe phimosis.598 children with severe phimosis (Kikiros classification 4-5) aged from 2 years old to 11 years old and 8 months were selected.311 cases in the observation group and 287 cases in the control group.The observation group applied a steroid cream the foreskin twice a day for 4 weeks,and the control group used local handling of the foreskin twice a day for 4 weeks.The effects of the two groups after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment were compared.Results 29 cases in the observation group and 47 cases in the control group were loss of follow up.In the steroids group which including 282 patients,68.8％ of patients (194 cases) showed a complete response (full retraction of the foreskin) to the therapy.The total efficiency rate of the 4 stage phimosis group is higher than the 5 grade phimosis group.Patients who had a history of balanoposthitis or urinary tract infection showed poorer improvement in preputial retraction.A total of 28 out of 240 patients (11.7％) in the control group showed a complete response to the therapy.The total efficiency rate of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (x2 =173.121,P ＜ 0.01).There were 4 cases of discomfort in the observation group and 6 cases of foreskin injured in the control group.Conclusions Topical application of 0.1％ mometasone furoate cream in the treatment of severe phimosis in children is an effective,safe and simple non-invasive treatment with less adverse reactions.

Objective To study the clinical features of complicated upper urinary tract infection in children,aiming to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods The clinical data of 68 cases with complicated upper urinary tract infection hospitalized at the Department of Urinary Surgery NO.1,Children's Hospital of Shenzhen between January 2013 and August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 68 cases,in which 44 were male,24 were female,and repeated infections were found in 15 cases.Fever was the most common clinical manifestation(48 cases,70.59％),while frequent urination and odynuria were rare(9 cases,13.24％).A total of 57 strains had been cultured form the submitted specimens which were obtained from the 68 cases,including 41 strains of gram-negative bacteria,15 strains of gram-positive bacteria and 1 strain of fungus.Two different strains were cultured in 3 children.Fourteen strains of Escherichia coli had 11 extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs)-positive strains.In the 11 strains of klebsiella pneumoniae,8 trains were ESBLs-positive.The drug resistant rates of gram-negative bacteria to Ampicillin and Cefuroxime sodium were both more than 90％.The sensitive rates to Piperacillin/Tazobactam was more than 90％.Thirty-one cases of complicated upper urinary tract infection were cured by administering Piperacillin/Tazobactam,while 15 cases were cured by changing Cefuroxime sodium to Piperacillin/Tazobactam according to the drug sensitivity results.Conclusions Clinical manifestations of complicated upper urinary tract infection are untypical,and fever is the most common symptom.Repeated infection is common.The gram-negative bacteria is the dominant pathogen causing the complicated upper urinary tract infection.ESBLs-positive bacteria accounts for high proportion.The drug resistance rate to penicillin and the first,second generation of the cephalosporin is high.The drug sensitive rate of piperacillin tazobactam is high,with good prognosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate clinical features and outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with remote symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICHr) after intravenous thrombolysis.MethodsThe acute ischemic stroke patients with sICHr after intravenous thrombolysis therapy were enrolled retrospectively.The clinical data were collected and the related literature was analyzed and summarized.ResultsA total of 6 acute ischemic stroke patients with sICHr were enrolled, including 4 males.Three patients had a history of using antiplatelet agents, 2 with atrial fibrillation, 4 with hypertension, 3 with previous stroke history, 4 with smoking history, and 4 had sICHr at 2 h after intravenous thrombolysis.Of the 14 hemorrhagic foci (except in the infarct areas), 10 were in the cerebral cortex.Three patients died within 1 week, and 1 was in a persistent vegetative state.Conclusions SICHr after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke is mainly located in the cerebral cortex.The outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with SICHr after intravenous thrombolysis are poor, and the mortality is high.

Objective To investigate the effect of anti-epileptic soup on the levds of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in pentylenetetrazol-induced rats and its mechanism.Methods Healthy adult male SD rats were injected intraperitoneally with pentylenetetrazol kindling 35.0mg/kg to induce a rat epilepsy model.After successful construction of the epilepsy model,the rats were divided into four the groups:blank group,model group,anti -epileptic soup group and sodium valproate (VPA) group.All of the treatments were performed three times a day continuously for 28 days.The rats in the anti-epileptic soup group were given 6ml of anti-epileptic soup.The rats in the VPA group were given 400mg/kg of sodium valproate by garage.The rats in blank group and model group received 6ml of normal saline.After treatment,the seizures level was recorded by using the Diehl six point grading scale,and the expression of serum IL-2 and IL-6 were detected by the enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA).Results The seizure level of the model group was (4.23 ± 0.43),while that of the anti-epileptic group was (3.47 ± 0.39),indicated that the anti-epileptic soup can reduce the seizures level.The expressions of IL-2 (4.18 ± 0.41)pg/mL and IL-6 (350.0 ± 82.5) pg/mL of the model group were higher than those of the blank group [IL-2 (3.20 ± 0.36) pg/mL,IL-6 (260.2 ± 69.0) pg/mL,P ＜ 0.01],while the expressions of IL-2 (3.48 ± 0.44) pg/mL and IL-6 (287.5 ±74.6) pg/mL of the anti-epileptic group were lower compared with the control group (P ＜0.01).No significant difference was found between the anti-epileptic group and VPA group IL-2 (3.35 ± 0.56) pg/mL and IL-6 (253.8 ± 59.8) pg/mL(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The anti-epileptic soup is effective for treating epilepsy in rats,the possible mechanism may be related with downregulating the expression of IL-2 and IL-6.

Objective To investigate the alterations of dopamine,norepinephrine,cortisol,C-reactive protein (CRP),heart rate (HR),respiratory rate (RR) and mean artery pressure (MAP) before and after the laser photoeoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with topical anesthesia and to provide the guideline for improving its routine management and interventions.Methods Thirty children with ROP who received ROP laser photocoagulation in Guang zhou Women and Children's Medical Center from May to Dec.2012 were selected.The blood of the 30 cases of infants were collected at 4 time points:before laser therapy,the end of laser therapy,1 hour and 24 hours after laser therapy.The concentrations of dopamine,norepinephrine,cortisol and CRP in plasma were measured at each time point with radio immunoassay,and the values of HR,RR and MAP of infants were recorded as well.Results The levels of dopamine,norepinephrine and cortisol at the end and 1 hour after therapy were higher than those in the quiet state before therapy,and the differences were statistically significant (t =6.39,2.55 ; t =7.74,2.91 ; t =8.87,2.15 ; all P ＜ 0.05) ; the levels of CRP at the end of therapy,1 hour and 24 hours after therapy had no statistical difference in comparison with those in quiet state before therapy (t =0.06,0.89,1.16; all P ＞ 0.05) ; the levels of HR and RR at the end of therapy,1 hour and 24 hours after therapy had statistical difference in comparison with those in the quiet state before therapy (t =4.33,3.84,3.38 ; t =6.81,4.42,2.96 ; all P ＜ 0.05).The level of MAP at the end of therapy had statisti cal difference in comparison with that in the quiet state before therapy (t =6.10,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions Infantswho experieneed ROP laser photocoagulation had stress response.Clinicians should pay more attention to monitoring HR and RR of preterm infants receiving retinal laser photocoagulation under topical anesthesia and take active intrvventions in order to relieve the stress response.

Objective To investigate the adjunctive therapeutic effects and safety of intravenous immunoglobin (IVIG) for treating pneumonia following kidney transplantation.Methods Sixteen cases of pulmonary infection after kidney transplantation were divided into two groups.Twenty-eight cases were subjected to IVIG therapy (0.2 g·kg-1 ·day-1) for 7-10 days besides the standard specific anti-bacterial,anti-fungal,and anti-virus treatment and regular immunosuppressive regimen with dose adjustment (IVIG group),and the control group was only treated with standard specific anti-pathogen therapy.The incidence and mortality ofsevere pulmonary infection,levels of serum IgG,T lymphocyte subsets,and creatinine in the two groups were observed.Results The effective power of IVIG group and control group was 100 ％ and 93.75 ％ (P＜0.05).The incidence of severe pneumonia in IVIG and control groups was 0 and 12.5％,respectively (P＜0.05),with the mortality being 0 and 6.25％,respectively (P＜ 0.05).The levels of serum IgG were significantly increased in IVIG group as compared with that before treatment and in control group.There were no significant adverse reactions associated with IVIG infusion.Conclusion As an adjunctive therapy,IVIG treatment for pulmonary infection can reduce the incidence of severe pulmonary infection and mortality after kidney transplantation,further increase the survival rate of patients after kidney transplantation.
