Surgical treatment of meningiomas with epilepsy as the main symptom / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the surgical efficacy of meningioma patients with epilepsy as the main symptoms. Methods A retrospective analysis of 124 meningioma patients with epilepsy as the main symptoms between January 2010 and January 2016,follow-up effect of epilepsy control. Results There were 94 cases of Simpson I orⅡgrade resection,27 cases of gradeⅢresection and 3 cases of grade Ⅳ resection. The surgical out-comes of patients were evaluated based on Engel′s classification. There were 98 cases(79.0%)of EngelⅠgrade, 11 cases(8.9%)of EngelⅡgrade,Engel Ⅲ and Ⅳ grade were 12 cases(9.7%)and 3 cases(2.4%). Among them,87 of 94 patients with Simpson I orⅡ grade resection epilepsy were well controlled,the satisfaction rate of epilepsy control was 92.6%. Conclusions Epilepsy as the main symptoms of meningioma patients need to clear about the seizure onset area preoperative,need to pay special attention to whether there is an independent epilepsy starting area of the distant site of the tumor. On the basis of the tumor resection as much as possible,at the same time dealing with the abnormal release of the cortex can effectively improve the efficacy of postoperative epilepsy control.

Correlation between the HPV type and clinical course of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis / 中国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科

OBJECTIVE To study on the influence of human papilloma virus(HPV) type on the clinical course of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis(JORRP).METHODS Fresh tumor specimens of 38 patients were collected and the HPV type of the specimens was detected by flow fluorescent hybridization method.According to the results,children were divided into HPV6 and HPVll positive groups.The clinical data of the two groups were compared.RESULTS Among 38 children with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis,21(55.2％) were infected with HPV6,14(36.8％) were infected with HPVll,and 3(7.9％) were negative for HPV 6 or HPV 11.The proportion of aggressive cases in HPV6 and HPV11 groups were similar.The age of onset,preoperative clinical symptom score,number of anatomic locations,anatomic Derkay/Coltrera score and Dikkers score were significant different between the two groups (P=0.002,0.040,0.023,0.001,0.005,respectively).CONCLUSION JORRP patients with HPV11 infection had the features of smaller onset age,more severe clinical symptoms and broader invasion compared with HPV6 infection.

A comparative study of different surgical treatment of epilepsy in rolandic and immediate perirolandic cortex / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the surgical treatment of epilepsy in rolandic and immediate perirolan dic cortex.Methods 376 patients accepted surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2010 to January 2016,of whom 48 patients fulfilled eligibility criteria and were included in the study.Patients were divided into 2 groups for analysis:patients with resections in the rolandic cortex (A group,n =28),and patients with resections in immediate perirolandic cortex and simultaneous sensorimotor multiple subpial transections (B group,n =20).Postoperative seizure outcome and neurologic deficits were analyzed.Results According to classification of Engel,Engel Ⅰ was in 22 (45.8％),Engel Ⅱ in 7 (14.6％),Engel Ⅲ in 10 (20.8％) and Engel Ⅳ in 9(18.8％).Seizure outcome satisfaction rate (Engel Ⅰ +Engel Ⅱ) in the group A was significantly higher than the group B (P =0.036);temporary and transient neurological deficits in the two groups had no statistically significant (P =0.569,P =0.418).Conclusions It is possible to achieve complete dissection of epileptic foci in rolandic and immediate perirolandic cortex without damage.The good prognosis is not related to the degree of excision of epilepsy and has no definite correlation with neurological dysfunction.

Efficacy of Sublingual Immunotherapy for House Dust Mite-Induced Allergic Rhinitis: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

PURPOSE: Allergic rhinitis (AR) has become a global issue for a large part of the general population. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has been used extensively to treat persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR). Although systematic reviews have confirmed the effectiveness of SLIT for the treatment of AR, a considerable number of studies using extracts of house dust mites (HDMs) for immunotherapy found no consensus on basic treatment parameters and questioned the efficacy of SLIT. METHODS: In this study, we evaluated SLIT for PAR by a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library database searches were performed for RCTs on the treatment of PAR by SLIT that assessed clinical outcomes related to efficacy through May 2016. Descriptive and quantitative information was abstracted. An analysis was performed with standardized mean differences (SMDs) under a fixed or random effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 metric. RESULTS: In total, 25 studies were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis for symptom scores and 15 studies for medication scores. SLIT was significantly different from the controls for symptom scores (SMD=1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.74 to 0.73; P<0.001). For medication scores, significant differences for SLIT were also observed versus the controls (SMD=-1.39; 95% CI=-1.90 to -0.88; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis indicates that SLIT provided significant symptom relief and reduced the need for medications in PAR. In this study, significant evidence was obtained despite heterogeneity with regard to the use of mite extract. Specifically, the mite extract used was provided by the patients with PAR. Furthermore, to confirm both the objective outcomes and the effective doses of HDM allergen extracts, experimental data should be obtained from large high-quality population-based studies.

Effect and postoperative reaction of nasal endoscopic low temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation on children with snoring / 中国内镜杂志

Objective To study the effect and postoperative reaction of nasal endoscopic low temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation on children with snoring. Methods 104 cases with snoring received surgical treatment from May 2013 to May 2015 were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group patients re-ceived nasal endoscopic low temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation, the control group received adenoidectomy curettage combined with tonsillectomy. Then the surgery condition, postoperative pain, stress response and ventila-tion function were compared between the two groups. Results Operation indicator: the experimental group operation time, postoperative pain time, symptoms remission time, intraoperative blood loss were significantly lower than the control group ( < 0.05); Pain degree: 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after surgery, the experimental group VAS score were significantly lower than that in control group ( < 0.05); Stress reaction: 24 h after surgery, the experimental group patients serum MDA, 8-isoPG, 3-NT content were significantly lower than that in control group, SOD, GSH content were significantly higher than that in control group ( < 0.05); Ventilation function: 6 months after surgery, the ex-perimental group AHI, ODI, SLT90%, LAT were significantly lower than that in control group, LSaO2 were signifi-cantly higher than that in control group ( <0.05). Conclusion Nasal endoscopic low temperature plasma radiofre-quency ablation can reduce surgical trauma and relieve postoperative pain and stress reaction, improve ventilation function, it's an ideal operative method for the treatment of children with snoring.

Juvenile onset respiratory papillomatosis: risk factors for severity / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#This study was designed to explore the risk factors associated with severity of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.@*METHOD@#A retrospective study was conducted to study determinants of severe forms of juvenile recurrent onset respiratory papillomatosis. The patients were separated into different groups based on the onset age, the first recurrence of age, the first recurrence of period, gender and incision of tracheal respectively. The relationship among the lesion severity score,the involvement of the subregion, operation period and the next operation period were also explored.@*RESULT@#It was observed that some children who recurred before 4 years old required more surgery, shorter operation period(the average, longest or shortest operation period) than those elder children, the differences were statistically (P=0. 029, 0. 003, 0. 010, 0. 039, respectively). The severity score of lesion was correlated positively with the involvement of the subregion and negatively with operation period (r=0. 914, -0. 451, respectively). Some children who diagnosed before 4 years old had to endure more severity score and shorter operation period than those older children, the differences were statistically (P= 0. 036, 0. 000, respectively). 8 cases accepted incision of tracheal, they accepted more surgery too. But the differences in the onset age, the first recurrence of age, and the operation period were not statistically.@*CONCLUSION@#The results showed that the clinical course of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis was closely related to the first recurrence age and period, while the severity of disease was associated to the onset age and the involvement of the subregion.
