Association between habitual snoring,middle ear disease,and speech problems in young children with non-syndromic cleft palate anomalies

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between habitual snoring (HS), middle ear disease (MED), and speech problems in children with cleft palate. This cross-sectional study included children aged 2.0–7.9 years with non-syndromic cleft palate anomalies. Parents completed the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire and a questionnaire about MED. Audiograms and speech assessment were also conducted. Ninety-five children were enrolled; 15.2% of families reported HS, 97.6% MED, and 17.1% speech problems. HS (37.5% vs 10.3%, P = 0.007) and early episodes of MED (92.3% vs 58.2%, P = 0.021) were more likely to be reported for children with isolated cleft palate when compared to those with cleft lip and palate. Children with cleft lip and palate had a higher frequency of MED with effusion compared to those with Robin sequence (86.4% vs 57.1%, P = 0.049). The odds ratio for HS in children with ≥1 episode of MED in the last year was 7.37 (95% confidence interval 1.55–35.15, P = 0.012). There was a trend for children with speech problems reported by parents to have HS (30.8% vs 11.5%, P= 0.076). Anatomical factors play a role in the frequency of upper airway symptoms in children with cleft palate. A recent history of at least one episode of MED was associated with an increased frequency of HS.     

软硬腭前移鼻咽下口扩大术初步报告

目的:运用软硬腭前移的手术方法扩大鼻咽下口,改善因鼻咽部狭小致阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征患者的呼吸暂停症状。方法:手术切除硬腭后份使其缩短、悬雍垂软腭成形并将软腭拉向前,扩大鼻咽下口。结果:患者术后自觉症状及客观评价疗效满意。结论:软硬腭前移鼻咽下口扩大显著改善鼻咽下口狭小导致的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者的症状。     

Secondary correction of the unilateral cleft nose deformity with an endonasal technique

Summary Malposition of the nasal bone, septum and the alar cartilage are striking features of the unilateral cleft nose deformity. An endonasal technique (the extramucosal) was used in 26 patients, aged 13–38 (median 19), to correct aesthetic and functional problems. Twenty-four patients were secondary and two were tertiary. The patients were followed from 1–9 years. The pathological anatomy of the septum varied considerably, so different types of septoplasties had to be done. In 20 patients, satisfactory aesthetic and functional results were obtained in one operation. Secondary corrections were indicated in six patients. In cases with no gross scarring in or around the alar cartilage, the form and position of this cartilage will be more normal once the alar cartilages have been undermined and the deviation of the nasal bone and the septum is corrected.     

改良直线缝合法修复双侧唇裂的体会

目的介绍改良直线缝合法修复双侧唇裂的方法和体会。方法在VeauⅢ术式的基础上,于双侧唇裂的两侧唇部设计A、B皮肤黏膜瓣,衬垫于前唇部的内侧,以增加创面的接触面积并加厚前唇部;在前唇部上方内侧设计C黏膜瓣加深唇龈沟,并将两侧唇肌肉分离固定于鼻前嵴、鼻翼基底及前唇,以达到唇肌的功能性修复。结果本组12例患者,术后上唇及唇红较丰满,动态畸形不明显,效果满意。结论采用改良直线缝合法修复双侧唇裂,能增加切口抗张力和改善术后上唇形态,减轻术后动态畸形及上唇塌陷。同时,此法还能保留较多的上唇组织,有利于唇裂Ⅱ期畸形的修复。     

大龄腭裂患者的手术治疗方法与语音治疗效果的对比研究

目的 对单纯行裂隙关闭术和同期行咽后壁咽成形术的大龄腭裂患者,术前、术后发音效果进行检测分析和对比研究,评定手术的治疗效果.方法 对24例同期行腭裂关闭术及咽后壁组织瓣咽成形术治疗和12例单纯行裂隙关闭术的大龄腭裂患者,术前、术后用鼻咽纤维镜检测其腭咽闭合情况,应用通用音频谱分析系统,对本组术后患者腭裂语音进行声学分析.结果 所有腭裂修复术后,创口均达到临床Ⅰ期愈合,语音也有不同程度改善.大龄腭裂患者采用腭裂关闭及同期咽成形术的修复组,术后发音明显优于单纯行裂隙关闭组.结论 大龄腭裂患者,采用腭裂关闭及同期咽成形术,是提高腭咽闭合和改善发音较好的手术方法.     

前臂预成皮瓣腭部缺损1例整复术护理

目的:提高前臂预成皮瓣整复术的护理水平.方法:通过术前心理护理,供区的皮肤保护,口腔装备,术后环境准备和卧位,皮瓣观察,切口护理,饮食和口腔护理进行评价.结果:预成皮瓣正常成活,色泽红润如期修复腭部缺损.结论:良好的护理可以提高前臂预成瓣移植的成功率.     

脱乙酰壳聚糖-抗坏血酸盐促进腭裂术后愈合的药效学研究

目的 腭裂手术创口是一类不易愈合的创口，为促进腭裂术后创口愈合速度与质量，减少术后复裂率，在腭裂动物模型上对脱已酰壳聚糖的作用进行药效学研究。方法 选20只Wistar大鼠随机分4组，以两种不同术式的实验组与相应的对照组进行实验。术后1、3、5、7、10天分别进行，)盏床观察和组织病理学观察。结果 实验组1，术后1天创面有缺血，3和5天粘膜颜色基本正常，7和10天拆线后的创口均为一期愈合。对照组1，术后1天创面有缺血，3和5天创缘糜烂，7天减轻，10天拆线创口二期愈合。实验组2与其对照组均有显著差异。组织病理，实验组1和组2重建覆盖上皮较对照组出现的早，实验组2缺损断端有新形成的骨组织连接，新骨周边可见成骨细胞，对照组1，有成纤维连接和炎细胞浸润。对照组2，缺损断处有新形成的软骨细胞，有炎细胞浸润。结论 脱已酰壳聚糖对腭裂术后的愈合有较明显的作用，有深入研究和临床应用的价值。
