Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and characteristics of tracheobronchial foreign bodies in children, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of foreign bodies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with tracheobronchial foreign bodies confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy between January 2010 to December 2019.The children with tracheobronchial foreign body who were treated in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Gansu Province.Results:A total of 967 cases were operated by soft electronic bronchoscope, and foreign bodies were removed by means of foreign body forceps or nets.Among them, 19 cases(3 cases with subglottic foreign bodies, one with row of pins, and the rest 15 cases with foreign bodies completely wrapped by granulation)were not removed, two cases were spontaneously coughed, and 946 cases (97.8%)were removed.Bronchial foreign bodies in children were more common in boys, with the ratio of male to female being 2.14∶1.The main age of onset was 1-3 years old(88.8%). The incidence was slightly higher in rural areas than that in urban areas(46.5% in urban areas, 53.5% in rural areas). Foreign bodies were inhaled most in March and least in June.From the perspective of season, winter and spring were more than summer and autumn.The foreign body types inhaled were mainly exogenous plant foreign body, accounting for 93.0%, among which peanut(31.7%)and melon seeds(19.2%)were the most common.The duration of foreign body inhalation was up to 347 cases(35.9%)in 1-3 days.There were 501 cases(51.8%)with endoscopic endobronchial inflammation, and 196 cases of children with varying degrees of granulomatous hyperplasia, accounting for 39.1% and 20.3% of the total.The foreign body in the right bronchus accounted for 50.0% and the left bronchus for 43.7%.There were 793 cases confirmed by imaging, with a positive rate of 81.9%, and 90.9% confirmed by CT.Conclusion:About 88.8% of tracheobronchial foreign bodies occurred in 1 to 3 years of age.The occurrence of foreign bodies had obvious gender, urban-rural and seasonal distribution characteristics, and more cases were male, in rural and winter as well as spring.

Objective:To analyze the results of polysomnography(PSG) in 523 children, and explore the sleep monitoring results and related influencing factors of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods:The PSG monitoring results of children with OSAHS and non-OSAHS were analyzed for children aging from 0 to 16 years old, who were monitored at Sleep Medicine Center of Gansu Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019.Results:A total of 523 children underwent PSG monitoring during the past 5 years.The male to female ratio was 1∶0.47, of which 66.9%(350/523)were children with OSAHS.The average proportion of rapid eye movement sleep was 1.95%(7.7/394). The height of non-OSAHS group was significantly higher than that of OSAHS group[(108.72±16.39)cm vs.(104.80±16.60)cm, P=0.016]. The incidence of OSAHS decreased with age( P=0.038). The apnea index, hypopnea index, apnea hypopnea index, obstructive apnea index, microarousal index, oxygen desaturation index, mean apnea time, and longest apnea time in the OSAHS group were higher than those in the non-OSAHS group( P<0.05). And the lowest oxygen saturation and the mean oxygen saturation during sleep were lower than those in the non-OSAHS group( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis on the clinical data of OSAHS children showed that open mouth breathing and snoring at night had significant effects on children′s OSAHS, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusion:PSG is of great significance for the diagnosis of OSAHS.The more severe the degree of OSAHS, the worse severe the night sleep hypoxemia.PSG should be recommended before taking any treatment for children with sleep disorders.
