Many snacks are less qualified of health so they threaten children's health. This condition reflects the children become accustomed to eating bad snacks in the school environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the sex and the habit of eating snacks with upper respiratory tract infection occurrence on children in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Unit Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo. The design of the study used an analytic-cross sectional approach. The population was the entire students in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Unit Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo as 28 students, the sample which was 26 respondents was taken by using a simple random sampling technique. The independent variable was sex, snacks habit and the dependent variable was the occurrence of upper respiratory tract infection. The instruments used checklist and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using spearmen rank test with a significance level (α = 0,05).The result of the study was the majority of the respondents (57.7%) was female and the majority of the respondents (53.8%) had a habit of eating bad snacks and almost half of the respondents (46.2%) was rare occurrence of URTI. Spearman Rank test result obtained that ρ = 0,020, there was no correlation of sex with the upper respiratory tract infection occurrence in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Unit Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo. Furthermore, it was obtained that 0,010 meant that there was correlation between the habit of eating snacks and the occurrence of URTI in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo. The conclusion of the study was females most often consume foods which have striking colors, attractive appearances, sweet and savory flavors that are around the school so they will occur URTI. It is advised that parents encourage their children not to buy snacks and make the children become accustomed to having breakfast first.

Otitis media is mainly caused by upper respiratory tract infection and eustachian tube dysfunction. If external upper respiratory tract infection is not detected early in the middle ear, or an appropriate immune response does not occur, otitis media can become a chronic state or complications may occur. Therefore, given the important role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the early response to external antigens, we surveyed the role of TLRs in otitis media. To summarize the role of TLR in otitis media, we reviewed articles on the expression of TLRs in acute otitis media (AOM), otitis media with effusion (OME), chronic otitis media (COM) with cholesteatoma, and COM without cholesteatoma. Many studies showed that TLRs 1–10 are expressed in AOM, OME, COM with cholesteatoma, and COM without cholesteatoma. TLR expression in the normal middle ear mucosa is absent or weak, but is increased in inflammatory fluid of AOM, effusion of OME, and granulation tissue and cholesteatoma of COM. In addition, TLRs show increased or decreased expression depending on the presence or absence of bacteria, recurrence of disease, tissue type, and repeated surgery. In conclusion, expression of TLRs is associated with otitis media. Inappropriate TLR expression, or delayed or absent induction, are associated with the occurrence, recurrence, chronicization, and complications of otitis media. Therefore, TLRs are very important in otitis media and closely related to its etiology.

Accompanying Symptoms

We report the cases of eight military patients with fever (≥38°C) induced by viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) who requested treatment with acupuncture in the military medical service room. All patients were treated immediately after diagnosis with classical acupuncture (GV14, GB20, TE8 points) and a new type of acupuncture, equilibrium acupuncture ( Feibing and Ganmao points). After one treatment session (20 min), reduction of body temperature was confirmed in all patients. Accompanying symptoms such as headache, myalgia and nasal obstruction also showed a tendency to decrease. Within 3 days of treatment, six of the eight patients had recovered from the URTI. No adverse effects of acupuncture treatment were reported.
