OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of perioperative application of Eucalyptol,limonene and pinene(ELP)en-teric soft capsules on therapeutic efficacy and prognosis in children after grommet insertion of chronic secretory otitis media. METH-ODS:92 cases(145 ears)of chronic secretory otitis media were divided into 2 groups by random number table method,including 46 cases in observation group(68 ears)and 46 cases in control group(77 ears). Both groups received grommet insertion under gen-eral anesthesia by otomicroscope. Control group was not given any drugs;observation group was given ELP enteric soft capsules 1.2 g,bid,from 3 d before operation to 5 d after operation. Subjective therapeutic efficacy and pure tone audiometry of 2 groups were observed 3 days,5 days,2 weeks,1 month and 3 months after surgery as well as acoustic impedance monitoring in children with tube withdrawal from ear 1 month and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS:The total effective rates of observation group 3 days,5 days,2 weeks,1 month and 3 months after surgery were 72.06%,82.35%,85.29%,89.70%and 95.59%;those of con-trol group were 59.74%,66.23%,80.52%,87.01% and 92.21%,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The pure tone audiome-try score of observation group 3 days,5 days,2 weeks,1 month and 3 months after surgery were significantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Therapeutic effective rates of acoustic impedance monitoring in children with tube withdrawal from ear 1 month and 3 months after surgery were 77.78% and 90.48% in observation group,which were signifi-cantly higher than 61.54% and 81.48% in control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The periopera-tive application of ELP enteric soft capsules can significantly improve function recovery and hearing level in children after grommet insertion of chronic secretory otitis media.

Analysis of TEOAE and AABR hearing screening and follow-up in NICU / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To study the results of TEOAE and AABR hearing screening and follow-up in NICU.@*METHOD@#Total 574 cases in NICU were included in this study, all cases received both TEOAE and AABR hearing screening while admission and rescreening when one-month-old. The cases that were abnormal on either test in rescreening were asked to return for diagnostic tests at 3 moths old. The patients who didn't return as required in 3 months were surveyed by call and analyzed.@*RESULT@#Among 574 cases, 472 cases passed both TEOAE and AABR hearing screening while admission. While 102 cases had abnormal test results in either screening test. Thirty-three cases returned for follow-up, 13 of which passed rescreening test one month after discharge, the other 20 cases had ABR diagnostic tests after 3 months. Among them, 8 cases had normal hearing, 12 cases had various degree of hearing loss. Sixty-nine cases lost follow-up. The reason of lost follow-up was as follows, parents changed phone number/contact information, parents didn't understand the screening results, parents believe that their children having no need for further testing; parents had retest in other hospitals, parents didn't pay attention to hearing loss because of other severe complicated comorbidities.@*CONCLUSION@#The passing rate (normal) of TEOAE and AABR hearing screening in NICU was 82.2%, non- passing rate wass 17.8%, and the prevalence of hearing loss was high in those followed cases. Hyperbilirubinemia was the main risk factors of hearing loss in our NICU patients. We reviewed the reason for high rate (67.6%) of losing follow-up.
