It is often secondary to nasopharyngitis, which favors the passage of infection through the Eustachian tube to the middle ear. The aim of our study was to improve the management of AOM in the Paediatric Department of the Hospital National Ignace Deen (Conakry). Patients and Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study lasting 6 months from 01 July to 31 December 2011;the study covered 525 cases out of a total of 6276 children, i.e. a frequency of 8.36%. Results: The most affected age group was 6 to 11 months. Males predominated (69.71%). 82.29% had a history of recurrent rhinopharyngitis. The most frequent reason for consultation was incessant crying (66.29%). Rhinopharyngitis and malaria were the most commonly associated pathologies (87.62% and 39.62% respectively). 72.19% of our patients were admitted with congestive AOM and received medical treatment. We recorded one case of otomastoiditis which was treated surgically. Conclusion: AOM is more common in children aged between 6 and 24 months. Good collaboration between paediatricians and ENT specialists is essential to reduce the morbidity of AOM.展开更多
目的:分析趋化因子CXCL14在鼻咽癌组织中的表达,并探讨其临床意义。方法:采集30例鼻咽癌患者(鼻咽癌组)及30例鼻咽炎患者(正常对照组)鼻咽部组织,采用实时荧光定量PCR和免疫组织化学方法进行CXCL14表达的检测。结果:CXCL14 m RNA和蛋白...目的:分析趋化因子CXCL14在鼻咽癌组织中的表达,并探讨其临床意义。方法:采集30例鼻咽癌患者(鼻咽癌组)及30例鼻咽炎患者(正常对照组)鼻咽部组织,采用实时荧光定量PCR和免疫组织化学方法进行CXCL14表达的检测。结果:CXCL14 m RNA和蛋白水平在鼻咽癌组的表达较正常对照组明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。临床相关性分析表明,CXCL14表达的下调与肿瘤T分级(P=0.001)、淋巴结转移(P=0.028)及临床分期(P=0.001)相关。结论:鼻咽癌组织中CXCL14 m RNA和蛋白水平表达下降,CXCL14可能参与鼻咽癌的发生、发展过程。展开更多

Methods： Patients including 30 cases of nasopharyngitis, 42 cases of nasopharyngeal atypical hyperplasia and 34 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma （NPC） were chosen from Zhongshan area in which there is high incidence rate of NPC. The expression of DNA-PKcs in the nasopharyngeal tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results： The expression rates of DNA-PKcs in the nasopharyngitis tissue, the nasopharyngeal precancerous lesion and the NPC were 6.7%, 64.3% and 55.9%, respectively （P〈 0.001）. Conclusion： The expression of DNA-dependent protein kinase may play an important role in nasopharyngeal tissue carcinogenesis.展开更多
