ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of fiberbronchoscope combined with cryotherapeatic equipment in treatment of bronchial foreign body in children.Methods 72 children with bronchial foreign body received fiberbronchoscope combined with cryotherapeatic equipment, then the complications were observed during and after the operation.Results Bronchial foreign bodies were successfully removed in all the patients. Among the 72 cases, transient hypoxia was the most common complication during the operation which happened in 37 cases and most occurred in the small age group, and decreased with the age increasing; cough or worsening of cough was the most common complication after the operation which happened in 20 cases; No serious complications were found during the follow-up.Conclusion Although it has some complications when bronchial foreign body received the fiberbronchoscope combined with cryotherapeatic equipment, but the operation time is short, and the complication is mild. It has great application value and security.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical significance of the changes of endothelin-1 and troponin-1 levels in kawasaki disease after acute stage. Methods 60 patients of kawasaki disease in which 12 cases of patient were complicated with coronary artery disease and 48 cases of patient who were not complicated with coronary artery disease were enrolled this study. Blood plasma endothelin-1 and serum cardiac troponin I were determined in kawasaki disease acute phase and recovery phase and 30 healthy children. Results Acute phase ET-1 and cTnI [(90.19±3.43)ng/L, (1.35±0.14)μg/L] and recovery phase ET-1 and cTnI [(89.09±2.44)ng/L, (1.12±0.11)μg/L ] in coronary artery lesions of (CAL) group had no significant difference（P＞0.05）. The concentration values of ET-1, cTnI in no coronary artery lesions (NCAL) group of acute phase (64.49±4.78)ng/L,(0.62±0.02)μg/L were different with convalescent phase (50.47±4.49)ng/L,(0.07±0.05)μg/L. There were significant difference between the the two phases (P＜0.01). Plasma endothelin-1 and serum troponin I concentrations were positively correlated in acute phase of Kawasaki disease in children (r＝0.93,0.96,P＜0.01). Conclusions Plasma endothelin-1 and serum cardiac troponin I test for the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease with coronary artery disease may be early indicators of risk monitoring, they are valuable indexes in diagnosis and treatment of Kawasaki disease.
