Objectives: The study aimed to assess the incidence of post-coblation tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PCTH) and identify associated risk factors in a pediatric Chinese population.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter cohort study, conducted over 17 months, included 8854 pediatric patients who underwent coblation tonsillectomy across 15 research centers in China. Patient data were collected through an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system.

Article Synopsis
  • Hemorrhage after tonsil surgery in children poses serious risks, leading to a study aimed at creating a risk warning model for predicting bleeding post-surgery.
  • The study analyzed data from 8,854 children who underwent tonsillectomy, ultimately focusing on 2,724 cases, to distinguish between those who experienced bleeding and those who did not.
  • Using a random forest algorithm, the model achieved a high prediction accuracy of 98.72% for postoperative bleeding, demonstrating potential for improving clinical decision-making despite needing to enhance the recall rate.

Objective: As the most common feature of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), macroglossia may influence the quality of life, maxillofacial growth, and speech development of children. The retrospective study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of partial glossectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for macroglossia patients in BWS.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in BWS-derived macroglossia patients who underwent partial glossectomy combined with RFA from May 2019 to January 2021.

Revealing the structural morphology and inner flow field of the upper airway is important for understanding obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) incidence phenomena and pathological diagnosis in children. However, prior work on this topic has been focused on adults and the findings cannot be directly extrapolated to children because of different inducing factors. Therefore, this paper employs a simulation method to investigate upper airway flow characteristics of childhood OSAHS.

To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of congenital pyriform sinus fistula(CPSF) in newborn. Clinical data of 5 patients with CPSF innewborn were reviewed and the clinical symptoms, auxiliary examinations, surgical methods were analyzed after the operation, patients were followed up closely at different stages. All the 5 neonates successfully completed the surgery without pharyngeal fistula, dysphagia, perifistula and distal fistula infection.

In this study, the characteristics of the upper airway flow field were analyzed by using computational fluid dynamics(CFD). The study analyze the differences in the upper airway flow field between normal children and children with obstructive sleep apnea(OSA), and the pathological characteristics of children with OSA were elaborated from the perspective of airway fluid dynamics. The upper airway models of a normal child and a child with OSA were constructed.

To discuss the clinical efficacy of low-temperature radiofrequency ablaion assisted by endoscopy for the treatment of congenital pyriform sinus fistula in infants. Clinical data of 15 patients with CPSF received the low-temperature radiofrequency ablaion assisted by endoscopy under laryngoscope were reviewed. After the operation, patients were followed up closely at different stages.

Introduction: There are many studies on the relationship between serum levels of hyperbilirubinemia and hearing impairment. However, the mechanism of hyperbilirubinemia on auditory impairment is not clear.

Methods And Analysis: A total of 1000 children with hyperbilirubinemia who are mainly indirectly elevated bilirubin in the full-term neonatal ward of Xiamen Children's Hospital from March 2020 to September 2020 will be enrolled.

Background: Due to extreme genetic heterogeneity, targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be an efficient tool for rapid genetic diagnosis of hereditary non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL).

Aims/objectives: This study was aiming to identify causative variants in NSHL patients from the Minnan region through targeted NGS.

Material And Methods: Genomic DNA samples from 90 NSHL subjects were extracted and subjected to SureSelect target enrichment system to capture the entire coding exons and flanking intronic regions of gene GJB2, SLC26A4, and MT-RNR1.

The nasal epithelial barrier dysfunction is associated with the pathogenesis of nasal allergy; the causative factors are to be further elucidated. Ubiquitin E3 ligase TNFIAP3 (TNFIAP3, in short) plays a role in the maintenance of the homeostasis in the body. This study aims to elucidate the role of TNFIAP3 in the degradation of endocytic substances in nasal epithelial cells.
