[The effectiveness of propranolol therapy of subfold hemangioma in the children during the first year of life].

The objective of the present study was to estimate the effectiveness and tolerance of propranolol therapy prescribed to the children presenting with vascular hyperplasia of the larynx. The experience with propranolol therapy of 12 patients suffering vascular hyperplasia of the larynx (subfold hemangioma) is analysed. Nine of these children had been given systemic glucocorticoid therapy prior to the present study that failed to produce a clinically significant effect.

[Foreign bodies (disk batteries) in the nose].

This paper reports the results of analysis of the treatment of 8 children after the removal a disk battery from the nasal cavity. It was shown that the restoration of all the structures of the nasal cavity is possible if the foreign body remains in it during a short (up to 5 hours) time. The longer presence of such a body in the nasal cavity gives rise to post-traumatic defects, in the first place septal perforations and injuries to the inferior turbinated bone.

[The effectiveness of rinorin introduced in the combined treatment of chronic adenoiditis in the children].

This study was designed to analyse the effectiveness of combined treatment of chronic adenoiditis in the children with the use of rinorin (Orion, Finland) in comparison with the traditional methods for the management of this condition either combined with irrigation therapy or without it. The results of the study indicate that the application of rinorin enhance the effectiveness of the treatment due to the substantial reduction of the manifestation of clinical symptoms and the frequency of relapses. The patients describe rinorin as a modern convenient-to-use preparation superior to the traditional medicines for the treatment of adenoiditis which improved medication compliance.

[Epidemiological aspects of congenital stridor].

The objective of the present work was to study epidemiology of congenital stridor as a leading symptom of laryngeal malformation. The continuous sampling method was employed to perform the retrospective analysis of the growth charts of the patients attending three children's polyclinics in Moscow (9.625 patients born between 2005 and 2009).

[On the classification of vascular structures in children].

Vascular structures are a common childhood pathology that may cause not only the development of extensive cosmetic defects but also functional disorders of respiration, swallowing, vision, and hearing. These conditions not infrequently lead to severe disability and sometimes have a fatal outcome. The choice of the treatment modality depends on the type of the so-called "hemangiomas", the classification of these tumours remaining poorly developed.

[The results of adjuvant therapy of juvenile recurring respiratory papillomatosis with the use of indole-3-carbinol].

The authors analyse the efficacy of anti-relapse therapy of juvenile recurring respiratory papillomatosis in 87 children aged from 2 to 15 years with the use of indole-3-carbinol. Prior to inclusion into this study, the patients underwent from 2 to 86 (mean 12 +/- 14) surgical interventions for the ablation of papillomas. The average interval between successive relapses of papillomas ranged between 2 weeks and 12 months (mean 4.

[Classification of the formations from blood vessels of maxillofacial region and neck in children].

Multidisciplinary group of investigators basing upon special literature study, analysis of their own observation (1168 cases) including retrospective for 20 years and with the help of several following methods - clinical, roentgenological, pathomorphological,immunohistochemical - picked out from wide group of the so called hemangiomas 3 types of lesions: hyperplasia, malformation, tumour and suggested their clinical biological classification. To each of lesion types characteristic was given.

[Hoarseness patterns in children].

The objective of the present work was to study the structure of voice disorders in children depending on the methods chosen to diagnose dysphonia. Medical histories of 1,451 children at the age varying from 2 months to 16 years were analysed. All of them were patients hospitalized for the first time between 1997 and 2007 to treat hoarseness caused by vocal cord nodules, functional or mutational dysphonia, chronic laryngitis, vocal cord paresis/palsy, recurring respiratory papillomatosis, vocal cord cystitis, and cicatrical laryngeal stenosis.

[Laryngeal ultrasound studies: potential, prospects, limitations].

In the last years, laryngeal ultrasound has been finding increasingly wide application due to the growing availability of relevant up-to-date equipment, apparent technical simplicity and non-invasive character of the study. However, poor knowledge of the physical basis of this method coupled to ungrounded self-confidence of the operators and uncritical treatment of the obtained findings may lead to the overestimation of the diagnostic potential of this sonographic technique. This paper is focused on disadvantages of ultrasound examination of the larynx and associated acoustic artefacts that can be taken for true abnormal structures.

[Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: update review].

This paper updates information on epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, surgical and anti-relapse treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in children.

[Gastroesophageal reflux disease and pharyngolaryngeal reflux in children with chronic laryngeal pathology].

A prospective non-randomized trial was made to evaluate incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and pharyngolaryngeal reflux (PLR) in children with chronic laryngeal pathology. A total of 46 children aged 6 to 15 years were examined including 16 patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, 15 patients with acquired laryngotracheal scarry stenosis and 15 patients with vocal nodules and functional dysphonia. Combination of GERD with PLR is a factor of risk for scarry laryngostenosis in a child with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

[Peculiarities of gastroesophageal reflux disease course in children with diseases of the upper respiratory ways].

Unlabelled: Data about patogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnostics, treatment and the forecast of diseases of the upper departments of respiratory ways at children in a combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GRD) are presented proceed on the literature and own experience data. The purpose of ours research consisted in revealing of correlation dependence between GRD and chronic diseases of a throat at children. 77 children at the age of 5-16 years with the nonheritable cicatricial stenosis of a throat and cervical department of a trachea (n = 12), with small knots of vocal folds (n = 17), with dysphonia (n = 20) and with anticipate respiratory papillomatosis (n = 28) are surveyed.

[Efficacy of indinol in antirecurrence therapy of juvenile respiratory papillomatosis].

The study of indinol efficacy in antirecurrence therapy of respiratory papillomatosis was performed in 46 children aged 2-14 years. The treatment lasted at least 12 weeks. Duration of a recurrence-free period before and after indinol administration was analysed.

[Papillomatosis of the lower respiratory tracts in children].

Papillomatosis of the trachea, bronchi and lungs was investigated in 40 children with papillomatosis of the lower airways in comparison with 408 children with laryngeal papullomatosis. All the patients were operated in 1988-2003 with histological verification of the diagnosis. Papillomas involved the lower airways because of tracheotomy (92.

[Prevalence of human papilloma virus types and their influence on the course of the disease in children suffering from recurrent respiratory papillomatosis].

The type of human papilloma virus (HPV) was determined in 26 children aged between 1 year 10 months to 15 years 5 months suffering from recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). Polymerase chain reaction identified DNA of HPV type 6, 11, 16 and 18. HPV DNA was detected in all the patients including fifteen patients infected with HPV type 11; seven patients infected with HPV type 6; four children infected with HPV type 6 and 11.

[Immunity in children with aquired cicatricial stenoses of the larynx and cervical trachea. Communication 3. Condition of phagocyting immune system].

Macrophagal-phagocyting immunity was studied in 59 children with cicatricial acquired stenosis of the larynx and cervical trachea aged 1 year 9 months to 14 years 8 months. It was found that children with acquired cicatricial stenosis had a sharp depression of all functions of the cells of the macrophagal-phagocyting system (chemotaxis, absorptive, digestive, oxidation-reduction) as well as reduction of their number. This is, on the one hand, a defense reaction of the organism to continuous antigenic stimulation; on the other hand, this marks feasibility of progressive immunocomplex and/or autoimmune processes.

[Immunity in children with acquired scarry stenosis of the larynx and cervical trachea. Communication 2. The status of T-cell immunity].

T-cell immunity was studied in 59 children (39 boys-66.1% and 20 girls-33.9%) with acquired stenosis of the larynx and cervical trachea at the age of 1 year 9 months to 14 years 8 months.

[Clinical symptoms of vascular laryngeal tumors in children depending on their location].

To study peculiarities of clinical symptoms of laryngeal angiomas in children, 71 case histories for children with vascular tumor aged 27 days to 14 years have been analysed. The cases were divided into two groups by location of the tumor: group 1--with hemangioma located in the subvocal larynx (45 children admitted to hospital at the age of 27 days to 2 years); group 2--with laryngeal vascular tumor located in the vocal or supravocal larynx (26 children admitted to hospital at the age of 3 months to 14 years). It was established that the age of the first angioma symptoms and the symptoms manifestation depend on the tumor location.
