Comparative Study[Comparison of diagnosis and localization methods in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: apneagraph vs polysomnography and apneagraph vs endoscopy].
ApneaGragh is a new device for simultaneous determination of obstructive sleep apnoeic events and continuous pressure measurements for localization of upper airway obstructive site. This study is to evaluate the clinical value of it. ⋯ ApneaGraph can identify the level of upper airway obstruction more accurate than fiberoptic pharyngoscopy. In the meantime, it also can serve as a portable PSG to diagnose sleep disordered breathing qualitatively.

[Analyses of polysomnogram in children suspected of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
To analyze polysomnogram characteristics of children with suspected obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to explore the role of obstructive apnea index (OAI), apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and arousal index for pediatric OSAHS diagnosis. ⋯ As the criteria of pediatric OSAHS, arbitrary OAI number should be determined on the basis of large sample investigation, the significance of spontaneous arousal index still needs further investigation.

Case Reports[Clinical features of primary ciliary dyskinesia].
To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). ⋯ Surgery could improve the symptoms of sinusitis in PCD. Change of ciliary ultrastructure was an important indication of its pathological changes and molecular biology evaluation needs further study.

Controlled Clinical Trial[Effects of glucocorticoid on tissue remodeling of nasal mucosa of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis after endoscopic surgery].
To evaluate the effects of glucocorticoid on tissue remodeling of nasal mucosa from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) after endoscopic surgery. ⋯ Tissue remodeling is present in nasal mucosa of CRSwNP after endoscopic surgery. Early and appropriate administration of glucocorticoid plays an important role in inhibition of tissue remodeling and prevention of relapse. Postoperative follow-up should not be less than 3 month.
