OBJECTIVE:Our study analyzed the main manifestations of tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) in children under medical thoracoscopy (MT). This article aimed to explore the clinical application value of MT in the diagnosis and treatment of TBP in children. METHODS:In our study, we selected 23 TBP patients diagnosed in our hospital. We analyzed the clinical data and thoracoscopic morphology of these patients. At the same time, we also observed the pathological manifestations, acid-fast staining, and treatment effects of the patient's diseased tissue under MT. RESULTS:The MT clinical findings of TBP patients include pleural hyperemia and edema, miliary nodules, scattered or more white nodules, simple pleural adhesion, wrapped pleural effusion, massive cellulose exudation, yellow-white caseous necrosis, pleural hyperplasia and hyperplasia, and mixed pleural necrosis. The positive rate of pleural biopsy was 73.91% and that of acid-fast staining was 34.78%. The main pathologic types of these patients were tuberculous granulomatous lesions (16 cases), caseous necrosis (5 cases), and fibrinous exudative, multinucleated giant cell and other inflammatory cell infiltration lesions (13 cases). The average time of diagnosis of the 23 patients was 8.32 days (5.0-16.0 days), and they were transferred to specialized hospitals for treatment after diagnosis. The mean time of chest drainage was 3.0-5.0 days after treatment. The average time for their body temperature to return to normal was 3.31 days (2.0-5.0 days). CONCLUSION:Thoracoscopic lesions of TBP in children are varied. The use of MT is not only helpful for the early diagnosis and treatment of TBP. It also protects and improves lung function. Therefore, the use of MT has high clinical value.
Background The purpose of this article is to explore the efficacy and safety of bronchoalveolar lavage with levofloxacin combined with intravenous infusion in the treatment of refractory drug-resistant mycoplasma pneumonia. Methods 120 children with refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) were studied and divided into the control group (60 cases) and the observation group (60 cases) based on different treatment methods. The control group was received levofloxacin treatment and control supportive treatment, while the observation group was received bronchoscopy for alveolar lavage on the lesion side in addition to the control group, and local drug retention of levofloxacin was performed. Observe for 7 days after treatment and compare the improvement of clinical symptoms, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum ferritin (SF), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon -γ (IFN-γ) between two groups of patients. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group had a shorter time in the symptom improvement and hospital stay. After treatment, the serum CRP, SF, LDH, IL-6, and IFN-γ levels in both groups were significantly decreased, and the observation group was lower than the control group, and the difference between two groups was statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion Bronchoscopic alveolar lavage combined with levofloxacin can help alleviate the inflammatory response of children with severe mycoplasma pneumonia, improve clinical symptoms, accelerate treatment progress, and shorten hospital stay. This indicates that bronchoalveolar lavage with levofloxacin is a treatment method with definite efficacy and worthy of clinical promotion in children.
Objective:To study the diagnostic value of non-enhanced lesions on enhanced CT in lung consolidation for necrotizing pneumonia in children.Methods:A total of 101 cases of necrotizing pneumonia with air sacs on CT scan who were hospitalized in the Department of Respiratory Intervention, Qilu Children′s Hospital of Shandong University from August 2016 to September 2018 were enrolled in this study(group with air lucency). Besides, another 75 cases of lobar pneumonia with non-enhanced lesions in lung consolidation but without air sacs on enhanced CT were also included from the same hospital over the same period(group without air lucency). Clinical data of these patients were retrospectively collected and statistically analyzed.Results:The white blood cell count was (12.5±5.5)×10 9/L in group with air sacs and (10.8±4.1)×10 9/L in group without air sacs, and the difference was statistically significant( t=-2.161, P=0.032). There was no statistical difference between the group with and without air sacs in age, gender distribution, the course prior to admission, duration of fever after admission, length of hospital stay, medical expense, the neutrophils percentage in peripheral blood, C-reactive protein, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum procalcitonin, serum D-Dimer, serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum albumin, bronchoscopy times, the bronchial mucosal erosion ratio, the mucus plug score, the lavage purulent lavage ratio, and the ratio of luminal stricture or atresia in late bronchoscopy(all P>0.05). Conclusions:The clinical course of patients with non-enhanced lesions in lung consolidation but without air sacs is almost identical to that of patients with air sacs on CT scan.The presence of non-enhanced lesions in lung consolidation can be used as diagnostic basis of necrotizing pneumonia in children.

Previously, the main treatment options for tracheoesophageal fistula included surgery and conservative treatment. Herein, we report a child suffering from severe tracheoesophageal fistula due to button battery ingestion. The child relapsed soon after a repair surgery. Then, he was endotracheally implanted with a fully-covered metallic stent combined with a jejunal tube feeding. He recovered soon and the stent was removed five months later. The fistula was healed with no relapse during a 25-month follow-up. Therefore, endotracheal implantation of fully-covered metallic stent is an alternative treatment for tracheoesophageal fistula due to button battery ingestion, especially in cases with severe respiratory disorders.
喉喘鸣是儿科常见症状之一,最常见的病因是喉软骨软化症,此外还有喉部占位性病变、声带麻痹、气管支气管软化或狭窄等 [1].家长通常会带患儿就诊于儿科,而儿科医师对本病认识不足,常常诊断喉软骨软化症,而忽视其他病因的寻找.我院自开展儿童支气管镜技术以来,喉喘鸣的误诊率明显降低,但由于舌甲状舌管囊肿临床罕见,对本病认识不足导致误诊.现报道如下:
Objective To discuss the effect of electronic bronchoscopy comprehensive therapy in the diagnosis and treatment of glottis and subglottic stenosis after intubation in children.Methods The records of 28 children diagnosed as glottis and subglottic stenosis after intubation by bronchoscopy in Qilu Children's Hospital of Shandong University from January 2012 to January 2015 were reviewed.They all had the neck and chest CT,bronchoscopic diagnostics,and received comprehensive treatment of laser,forceps,balloon angioplasty under electronic bronchoscopy,preoperative and postoperative evaluation was performed according to the improvement of respiratory status and endoscopic findings.All patients were followed up for 6-12 months.Results These 28 children were successfully extubated,and inspiratory dyspnea,hoarseness,and other symptoms were improved,endoscopic narrowest part was widened by 6-12 months of follow-up,including 17 cases reached clinical cure,about 6 times per patient;7 cases were successfully extubated and still in follow-up currently;2 cases of neonatal infants were extubated successfully,but they had vocal congestion,edema,glottis narrow fissure without special intervention,and were under clinical observation currently;2 cases gave up treatment because of the other problems.All patients had no serious bleeding,respiratory insufficiency or other complications.Conclusions Electronic bronchoscopic comprehensive treatment is an effective and safe method to treat glottis and subglottic stenosis after intubation in children.
Objective To discuss the diagnosis,curative effect evaluation of infantile subglottic hemangioma through bronchoscopy,and oral Propranolol curative effect.Methods Twenty-four cases of subglottic hemangioma were retrospectively analyzed from April 2012 to March 2015 in Shandong University Qilu Children's Hospital,all cases were diagnosised by neck enhanced CT or magnetic resonance,receiving oral Propranolol treatment.Starting dose was 0.5 mg/(kg · d),3 times per day,monitored in terms of blood pressure,blood sugar and heart rate,etc.with no bad reaction after 3 days of dosage,increased to 2.0 mg/(kg · d),6 days later to maintain the dose for at least 6 months,with bronchoscopy follow-up visit on a regular basis.All the children received 3 to 15 months of follow-up.Results Clear diagnosis of subglottic hemangioma was made in 24 cases who received oral Propranolol treatment,and after 5-7 days symptoms such as laryngeal stridor and dyspnea were relieved to different extent.Under the bronchoscope tumors could be observed to shrink.After 6 months of oral Propranolol,11 cases of tumors had completely faded,13 cases of tumors had significantly reduced,laryngeal stridor and breathing difficulties were relieved.One patient with parotid gland hemangioma was also improved,3 cases had mild bradycardia during hospital treatment,but during hospitalization and after discharge low blood pressure,hypoglycemia and other side effects were not observed.Conclusions Bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of infantile subglottic hemangioma plays an important role in the judgment of curative effect as it is both safe and reliable.Taking oral Propranolol can help to shrink tumors in a short period of time,improve the symptoms of respiratory tract obstruction,with distinct curative effect and little side effect.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect and safety of bronchoscopic cryosurgery in children with lower airway stenosis caused by granulation and fiber hyperplasia.METHOD:Twenty-two patients had undergone bronchoscopic examination and cryosurgery, 18 patients with atelectasis caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, 2 patients with endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB), 1 patient with atelectasis caused by granulation tissue after bronchial foreign body, and 1 case who had severe dyspnea, with tracheal stenosis after long-term endotracheal intubation during surgery for heart disease. All the patients under went bronchoscopic cryosurgery for several times, 1 case with severe tracheal stenosis was operated by electric coagulation before cryosurgery. Before and after the treatment, all the patients were evaluated based on clinical symptoms, tracheal lumen by bronchoscopy, chest CT for atelectasis and pulmonary function for tracheal stenosis.RESULT:The patients were treated with cryosurgery for 1-4 times. Sixteen cases were markedly improved, clinical symptoms disappeared completely, no granulation and fiber hyperplasia were found during bronchoscopy, and all the atelectasis were cured. After the treatment, the bronchial lumen diameter of the patient with tracheal stenosis was increased from 2 mm to about 5 mm, the tidal volume increased from 3.0 ml/kg to 8.8 ml/kg. Five cases were effectively improved, the clinical symptoms also disappeared, during bronchoscopy and bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL), no granulation and fiber hyperplasia were found, but some distal bronchial tubes were atresia or narrowed, the lumen was patent, the atelectasis recovered partially. In 1 case the treatment was ineffective, as the clinical symptoms and granulation disappeared, but because almost all distal bronchi were atresia or narrow, the lumen was not patent during BAL, there was no change on chest CT. The total effective rate was 21/22 (95.5%). No severe complications occurred during and after the procedures. All the patient were followed up for 1 - 12 months, no case had recurrence.CONCLUSION:Treatment with bronchoscopic cryosurgery is a safe and effective methods to tracheal stenosis caused by granulation tissue and fiber hyperplasia in children.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) through bronchoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of accidental inhalation of liquid and powdery foreign bodies in children.METHOD:Twenty-one cases of accidental inhalation were classified into the following 4 groups according to the materials inhaled: 3 cases inhaled the lipidic material; 2 cases inhaled chemical material; 15 cases inhaled hydrosoluble materials; 1 case inhaled powdery material. Eighteen cases were hospitalized within 3 days after the accidents, which included 16 cases treated within 1 day in hospital. And 3 cases were hospitalized 3 days after the accident. After hospitalization, all patients were immediately treated with direct aspiration and lavage clearance method through bronchoscopy. The inhaled foreign materials were cleared as soon as possible, which reduced the absorption, stimulation and infection of respiratory mucosa. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by endoscopic findings, clinical manifestation, laboratory examination and chest imaging. At the same time, decision was made on the second BAL and the prognosis was estimated.RESULT:Twenty-one cases had dyspnea of certain degree. The bronchial mucous membrane of all the 21 cases showed hyperemia, edema and exudate attached. Lavage fluid looked like broth and contained much of the inhaled material. After two to five times treatment, 18 cases were cured (86%), but 3 cases died (14%). One of these 3 cases fell into an oil well, 1 into mosquito repellent solution, another into manure pit. The patients who could not survive had severe airway obstruction, which was difficult to clean and made the problem deteriorated progressively. One of the patients was sent to a hospital 3 days after the accident and another case developed fungal infection, pneumothorax and finally respiratory failure.CONCLUSION:BAL through bronchoscopy is necessary for children who accidentally inhaled liquid and powdery materials. This treatment is safe and effective in diagnosis and treatment of such problems in children. The effect of treatment is influenced by types of inhaled material, the time of lavage clearance through bronchoscopy, and certain complications, such as infection etc.
