Objective To explore the efficacy of staged operation in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosed as type Ⅰ and Ⅱ simultaneously. Methods The OSAHS patients with nasal structural abnormalities underwent nasal cavity expansion surgery and uvelopalatopharyngoplasty 3 monthes later. Postoperative improvement were observed respectively 3 months and 6 months later. Results The symptoms of apnea and snore were improved, while AHI, LSaO₂ were significantly improved postoperatively. However, moderate snoring gradually appeared 6 months after the surgery. Conclusion The nasal cavity expansion surgery and uvelopalatopharyngoplasty to treat OSAHS demonstrates obvious curative effects, but long term snoring warrants further observation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between neck circumference, waist circumference and extent of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAHS) in males. Methods Clinical data of 200 OSAHS patients, diagnosed by polysomnography from January 2013 to July 2013, were reviewed. The relationship between neck circumference, waist circumference, BMI, age, sex, and AHI, LSaO₂, TS90%, ESS were analyzed. Results ① No association was found between age, BMI, AHI, LSaO₂ and TS90%, ESS. Neck circumference and waist circumference were positively correlated with AHI, TS90% and ESS, but negatively correlated with LSaO₂. ② Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed both circumferences were associated with AHI, TS90% and LSaO₂. Conclusion Neck circumference and waist circumference are associated with severity of OSAHS in male patients.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hearing impairment by analyzing the results of hearing screening in the premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Methods A total of 821 premature infants, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit form January 2010 to December 2013, were screened for hearing functions. The risk factors for no passing in the screenings were analyzed. Results The failure rates in initial and secondary screening were 61.0% and 16.0%, respectively. The failure rate was 9.4% in the automatic auditory brainstem response (AABR) test conducted at three months after birth. With the growth of gestational age, pass rate increased and degree of hearing disorders decreased in the mean time. Logistic regression analysis showed that very low birth weight, hyperbilirubinemia, infection and suffocation were risk factors for hearing, while, gestational age > 32 weeks was protective factor (OR=0.499, P=0.022). Low birth weight was independent risk factor for hearing screening and hearing impairment (OR=2.385, P=0.038). Conclusion Due to immature development, premature babies suffer from high incidence of hearing loss. The smaller the gestational age is, more commonly hearing damages occur. Low birth weight, hyperbilirubinemia, infections are risk factors for hearing impairment. Early detection and timely follow-up are neccessary.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with bilateral sensorineural deafness. Methods Clinical data of 17 pediatric OME patients (34 ears) with bilateral sensorineural deafness (Group A) and another 17 pediatric patients (34 ears) with simple OME (Group B) were reviewed. Incidences of middle air adhesion, and changes of auditory brainstem response (ABR) before and after operation were compared. Results In Group A, the primary symptom was hearing loss; 7 cases were misdiagnosed as sudden deafness, and 5 cases (7 ears) had middle ear adhesion; the response threshold of wave Ⅴ of ABR was improved from 0 to 30 dB nHL (average 17.3 dB nHL) after tympanostomy tube and the improvement had significant difference (P<0.05). In Group B, the primary symptoms included ear discomfort (15 cases) and hearing loss (2 cases), and 1 patient (1 ear) had middle ear adhesion. There was statistical difference between the two groups in the incidence of middle ear adhesion (P<0.05). Conclusion It is difficult to collect the history of pediatric patients with OME and bilateral sensorineural deafness, which is often misdiagnosed. Surgical intervention should be taken timely to prevent complications. Tympanostomy tube can effectively improve hearing in these patients.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of tinnitus, correlation between tinnitus and hearing loss, effects of tinnitus, and mechanism of tinnitus in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Methods Clinical data of 231 tinnitus patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss were retrospectively reviewed. Results of Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), visual analogue scale (VAS), pure tone audiometry, acoustic emission, tinnitus test and masking test were analyzed. Results ① Characteristics of hearing loss: Low-intermediate frequency hearing loss (rise type) was 8.7%, high-frequency hearing loss (fall type) was 26%, flat-type was 19%, total-deafness type was 34.2%, irregular type was 12.1%. ② Frequency of tinnitus: Low-frequency (<500 Hz) tinnitus was 21.2%, medium-frequency (51-2 000 Hz) tinnitus was 23.4%, high-frequency (>2 000 Hz) tinnitus was 52.8%, unmatched tinnitus was 2.6%. Of hearing loss with low-intermediate frequency, low, medium and high frequency tinnitus was 75%, 15% and 10% respectively. Of hearing loss with medium-high frequency, low, medium and high frequency tinnitus was 13.3%, 26.7% and 60.0% respectively. Of total deafness, low, medium and high frequency tinnitus was 17.1%, 19.0% and 63.3% respectively. There was an linear relationship between the frequency hearing loss and tinnitus frequency (r=0.590, P<0.01). ③ Tinnitus volume: Tinnitus volume was 0-30 dB HL(19.5%), 31-60 dB HL(26%), 60-90 dB HL(44.2%), >90 dB HL (27.8%), and unmatched (2.6%). Tinnitus volume was correlated with the degree of hearing loss (r=0.216, P<0.05). ④ Tinnitus disability level: According to THI scores, the tinnitus disability level was: grade 1 (11.7%), grade 2 (19%), grade 3 (28.6%), and grade 4 (40.7%). ⑤ The characteristics of THI and VAS scores: there was no correlation between THI scores and degree of hearing loss (r=0.087, P=0.287), no correlation between VAS score and degree of hearing loss (r=0.002, P=0.982), no correlation between THI and the logarithm of tinnitus frequency (r=-0.056, P=0.402), no correlation between VAS score and frequency of tinnitus (r=-0.003, P=0.970), no correlation between THI score and tinnitus volume, r=0.03, P=0.563), no correlation between VAS score and tinnitus volume (r=0.136, P=0.110). Conclusion ① High-frequency tinnitus with idiopathic sudden deafness is the most common among all types of hearing loss. ② There is a significant correlation between tinnitus frequency and type of hearing loss. ③ The frequency of the greatest hearing loss is consistent with the frequency of tinnitus. ④ Tinnitus disability level is grade 3-4 during the acute period of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. ⑤ THI and VAS scores are not correlated with degree of hearing loss, tinnitus, tinnitus volume and frequency.

Objective To explore the feasibility of microsurgery of radical mastoidectomy under general anesthesia without muscle relaxant. Methods 60 patients with chronic otitis media under going microsurgery of radical mastoidectomy were divided into two groups randomly, with (MR group, n=30) or without (NMR group, n=30) muscle relaxant. For all the patients, SBP, DBP, MAP and HR were recorded at the time of skin incision (T1), drilling bone (T2), and extubation (T3). Meanwhile, the consumption of Propofol and Remifentanil, body movements, awakening time, time of extubation and adverse reactions were also monitored. Results There were significant differences in SBP, DBP, MAP and HR at T1, T2 and T3 between the two groups (P<0.05), but not in the trend of changes with time (P>0.05). The recovering time and time of extubation in NMR group were shorter than those of MR group (P<0.05). The consumption of Propofol and Remifentani was more in NMR group (P<0.05). The body movement showed no difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The adverse reactions of MR group, including hypoxemia, glossocoma, were more common than NMR group (P<0.05). Conclusion Microsurgery of radical mastoidectomy under general anesthesia without muscle relaxant is safer, more satisfying and feasible than that with muscle relaxant.

Objective To explore the effect of total intravenous anesthesia on the bleed volume during endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods A total of sixty adult patients(ASAⅠ-Ⅱ), agreed to be on electively endoscopic sinus surgery, were randomly divided into two groups(group A and group B, n=30 each). All patients were injected intravenously with fentanyl, propofol and cisatracurium during the induction of general anesthesia. During the maintaince stage of the general anesthesia, patients in group A were injected intravenously with propofol and patients in group B were inhalated with sevoflurane until 5 minutes before the end of the operation. All patients were monitored with arterial blood pressure, were hepervolumic diluted and were performed with controlled hypotention 15 minutes before the operation. The arterial blood gas, blood lactate and coagulation function were monitored 30 minutes before the operation(T₀), 30 minutes(T₁) and 90 minutes after the operation (T₂) and 30 minutes after the end of the operation(T₃). Bleed volume and operation duration were recorded at the end of the operation. Results Comparing with those at T₀, there was no significant difference in the arterial blood pressure, blood lactate and coagulation function at T₁, T₂ and T₃. Bleed volume in group A was few than that in group B(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation duration between the two groups. Conclusion During the endoscopic sinus surgery with intravenous anesthesia, the bleed volume is few than that with inhalation anesthesia.

Objective To investigate the method of isolation, culture and identification of human orbital adipose-derived stromal cells (hOADSCs) and it's ability of adipogenic differentiation in vitro. Methods The hOADSCs were isolated by tissue explant culture technique, then were primary cultured and subcultured in vitro. The second generation of hOADSCs was detached, and the expressions of cell surface antigen CD29, CD31, CD44 and CD45 were analyzed with flow cytometry to identify the cells. The hOADSCs were induced to be adipogenesis with the adipogenic induction medium in vitro and stained with oil red O. The morphology of the hOADSC was observed by phase contrast microscopy. The plating efficiency and doubling time of the hOADSCs were tested. The hOADSCs proliferation was detected by CCK-8, and the cell growth curve was made. Results The hOADSCs were isolated by tissue explant culture technique and exhibited a fibroblast- or spindle-like morphology. The hOADSCs grew rapidly after subculturing. The expression rate of cell surface antigen CD29, CD31, CD44 and CD45 was 99.0%, 1.5%, 99.1% and 1.2%, respectively. The hOADSCs were differentiated into adipocytes with the adipogenic induction medium in vitro and the intracellular lipid droplets were stained in red by oil red O. The plating efficiency and doubling time of the subcultured hOADSC were 92.6% and 1.98days, respectively. The hOADSCs could be subcultured for more than ten generations in vitro. Conclusion In this experiment, the hOADSCs were isolated, cultured by tissue explant culture technique and could be differentiated into mature adipocytes with the adipogenic induction medium in vitro.

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of type and distribution of collagen fiber in the porous skirt of new type one-piece keratoprosthesis (KPros) made of PHEMA implanted into the alkali burned rabbit corneas. Methods A total of 10 pieces KPros were implanted into the alkali burned rabbit corneas. The skirt of kpro was obtained after 2, 8, 16 and 22 weeks. The samples were treated with picric-sirius red staining and observed by polarizing microscopy. Results This material PHEMA allowed the cornea and surrounding tissue growing and forming a multi-site stable fiber-connections under polarized light after staining. The new organization within the pores was mainly type I collagen and its growth performance was that yellow-green type Ⅲ collagen become mature red type Ⅰ collagen in process and cells were active especially in limbus. Conclusion The dynamic changes of collagen observation, can be concluded that the PHEMA pores and the cornea shown the similar performance and consistent with normal rabbit corneal implant healing.

Objective To investigate the application value of SonoLiver time-intensity curve in the ocular adnexal lymphoma and orbital benign tumor. Methods Retrospective analyses were conducted for thirty-five cases of ocular adnexal lymphoma and twenty cases of orbital benign tumor, which were all underwent the examination of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and confirmed by pathology. SonoLiver software was used to get the time-intensity curve(TIC) and record the ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) reach time (AT), the rise time (RT), time to peak (TTP) and the maximun intensity (IMAX). Results RT in the ocular adnexal lymphoma(7.64±2.65)s was significantly shorter than that in the orbital benign tumor(10.60±4.84)s, and TTP in the ocular adnexal lymphoma(9.44±2.05)s was also significantly shorter than that in the orbital benign tumor(26.07±9.90)s (both P < 0.05); No statistical difference of AT and IMAX were found between the two groups(both P > 0.05). The enhancement pattern was different between the ocular adnexal lymphoma and the orbital benign tumor (P < 0.05). Conclusion There are some clinical values in the differential diagnosis of ocular adnexal lymphoma and orbital benign tumor by analysing SonoLiver CEUS parameters.
