ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of modern equipment and widespread familiarity with the relative knowledge, endoscopic ear surgery has attracted many oto-surgeons and is becoming more popular in primary hospitals in China. Standardized management of perioperative period in this field can help surgeons shorten the learning curve and avoid potential complications in endoscopic ear surgery. In this article, the management technique was introduced in detail, covering five main aspects including handling of related in-struments, preoperative examination and preparation, informed consent, preparation for patients and operation room setup. Extra focus was placed on the manipulation and resolution of possible difficulties during the procedure.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study our experiences in anatomy of marginal mandibular branch of facial never in partial parotidectomy.@*METHOD@#Thirty-eight cases receiving partial parotidectomy were analyzed retrospectively, and marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve were separated in all cases.@*RESULT@#Temporary facial paralysis appeared in 2 cases and Frey's syndrome appeared in 2 cases. There was no patient appeared the recurrence in the 1-3 years followed up time.@*CONCLUSION@#Partial parotidectomy with anatomy of marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve is a safe, effective and minimally invasive therapeutic method for benign tumor on parotid gland (<5 cm).

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the variation on different regions of the forearm when taking the allergen skin prick tests(SPTs).@*METHOD@#Forty-one patients with hyper-reactive nasal symptoms were included. SPTs were done on the proximal, telecentric, middle region of right forearm and telecentric region of left forearm with house dust mite and histamine. The average diameter of wheal and the reactive grade were calculated and analyzed.@*RESULT@#The diameters of the wheal on equal position of two forearms were similar (P > 0.05). The intension of SPTs reaction decreased from proximal to telecentric region of the same forearm (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The intension of SPTs reaction on different region of forearm are quite different, which should be noticed in clinical practice.

Objective: Investigate the curative effect of acupuncture on dysphasia in hypophrenia children. Methods: One hundred and sixty children with hypophrenia and dysphasia were randomly divided into an acupuncture group of 80 cases, a language training group of 40 cases and a composite group of 40 cases for clinical observation. Total intelligence quotient (TIQ), vocal intelligence quotient (VIQ) and practical intelligence quotient (PIQ) were compared between pretreatment and posttreatment in the children themselves and between the groups before and after treatment. Results: The total efficacy rate was 77.5% in the acupuncture group, 82.5% in the composite group and 52.5% in the language training group. Conclusion: Acupuncture significantly raises TIQ, VIQ and PIQ in the sick children. Language training only raises VIQ to some degree.Acupuncture in cooperation with language training is an effective way to treat this disease.
