Objective:This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of tympanoplasty using auricular cartilage combined with balloon eustachian tuboplasty for the treatment of adhesive otitis media(adhesive otitis media, AdOM) under endoscopic. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 patients with unilateral adhesive otitis media who visited Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University between January 2017 and February 2022. All patients were divided into three groups: ①conservative treatment group;②simple tympanoplasty group; ③tympanoplasty combined with balloon dilation group(BET group). All patients were regularly assessed for the improvement of tympanic membrane morphology, hearing, and Eustachian tube function, as well as complications, after treatment. Results:There was no significant improvement in eardrum morphology, hearing, or eustachian tube function in the conservative treatment group(P>0.05); both the simple tympanoplasty group and the BET group showed significant improvements in eardrum morphology and hearing after surgery(P<0.01); In terms of Eustachian tube function improvement, the BET group showed significantly greater improvements in Eustachian tube manometry(TMM) and Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire(ETDQ-7) scores compared to the tympanoplasty alone group(P<0.01). Conclusion:Tympanoplasty using auricular cartilage combined with balloon eustachian tuboplasty shows good clinical outcomes in the treatment of adhesive otitis media, significantly ameliorating patients' subjective symptoms such as tinnitus and ear congestion after surgery, thereby improving the patient's quality of life.
Objective This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitors combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal and oropharyngeal cancer prior to surgical resection.Methods This retrospective analysis included 42 patients diagnosed with locally advanced hypopharyngeal and oropharyngeal cancer. The efficacy, safety, survival, and laryngeal preservation rate were evaluated.Results A total of 42 patients were included in this retrospective analysis, of whom 28 had hypopharyngeal cancer and 14 had oropharyngeal cancer. Of the 42 patients, 14 (33.3%) achieved a pathological complete response (PCR) at the primary site, 20 (47.6%) achieved a major pathological response (MPR), and 8 (19%) had an incomplete pathological response (IPR) at the primary lesion. A PCR at both the primary site and the neck lymph nodes was observed in 9 patients (21.4%). The laryngeal preservation rate was 92.9% (26/28) in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer. The median follow-up time was 10.5 months. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 26.42 months (95% CI, 23.416-29.424), and the median overall survival (OS) was 27.1 months (95% CI, 24.316-29.884). The 1-year PFS rate was 83.1%, and the 1-year OS rate was 85.9%.Conclusion Combination therapy with PD-1 inhibitors and neoadjuvant chemotherapy has demonstrated superior efficacy and safety as a preoperative treatment for locally advanced hypopharyngeal and oropharyngeal cancer. Notably, this treatment regimen does not increase the risk of severe postoperative complications and has shown promising results in improving laryngeal preservation rates.
ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to assess the prognostic value of Ki67 and p16 proteins in laryngeal cancer.Materials and methodsThis retrospective cohort analysis comprised 260 patients diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to assess the expression levels of p16 and Ki67, and their correlation with the survival time of laryngeal cancer patients was analyzed.ResultsThe Ki67 index level exhibited a significant association with the prognosis of laryngeal cancer. Patients with higher Ki67 index levels demonstrated shorter survival times, more severe pathological classification, and higher tumor stages (P < 0.05). Conversely, no significant differences in prognostic characteristics of laryngeal cancer were observed in the p16 (-/+) population (P > 0.05). The median survival times for patients with Ki67 index levels of 0-35%, 36-70%, and 70-100% were 3.54 years, 2.10 years, and 1.92 years, respectively. After adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption, pathological classification, surgical intervention, recurrence, and metastasis, the risk of death for patients with Ki67 index levels of 70-100% was 2.0504 times higher than that of patients with Ki67 index levels of 0-35% (95% CI: 1.2997-3.2345, P = 0.0020).ConclusionThe Ki67 index level is strongly associated with survival time and the risk of death in laryngeal cancer, making it a valuable prognostic indicator. However, the prognostic value of p16 levels in laryngeal cancer is limited. These findings provide important insights for prognosis evaluation and treatment decision-making in patients with laryngeal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the effect of prolonged negative pressure drainage time after parotidectomy and analyze its relationship with the incidence of postoperative salivary fistula.Methods:The clinical data of 94 patients with benign parotid gland tumors who received treatment in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from July 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 47 per group). In the observation group, the negative pressure drainage tube was removed after 1 week of simple negative pressure drainage, while in the control group, conventional local bandaging of the parotid gland was performed for 2 weeks, and negative pressure drainage was given for 2-3 days. Postoperative drainage volume, pain degree, and the incidence of salivary fistula were recorded for each group. Results:The total drainage volume in the observation group was (77.93 ± 23.83) mL, which was significantly greater than (47.06 ± 24.71) mL in the control group ( t = 6.17, P < 0.001). The Visual Analogue Scale score in the observation group was (3.021 ± 1.07) points, which was significantly lower than (7.53 ± 1.27) points in the control group ( t = 18.63, P < 0.001). The incidence of postoperative salivary fistula in the observation group was 2.1% (1/47), which was significantly lower than 17.0% (8/47) in the control group ( χ2 = 4.42, P = 0.035). Conclusion:Simple prolongation of negative pressure drainage time can achieve full drainage, improve the quality of life of patients after parotidectomy and reduce the occurrence of postoperative salivary fistula, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
Objective:To investigate the clinical value of 3D-FLAIR MRI in the diagnosis of paroxysmal vestibular syndrome.Methods:The clinical data of 72 patients with suspected disease of paroxysmal vestibular syndrome diagnosed and treated in vertigo clinic of our hospital from July 2018 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.All patients had a history of hearing loss, tinnitus and recurrent vertigo.They were divided into two groups: 37 patients suspected of Meniere and 35 patients suspected of vestibular migraine.3D-FLAIR MRI of inner ear was performed after 4 hours of intravenous injection of GD DTPA diluent.The results of diagnosis were compared with those of gadolinium radiography.The data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0.Results:Twenty-one patients with suspected Meniere's disease showed signs of water accumulation in the membranous labyrinth, 4 patients with suspected vestibular migraine showed signs of water accumulation in the membranous labyrinth ( P<0.01). Twenty-three patients with positive signs of water accumulation in the membranous labyrinth were finally diagnosed as Meniere's disease, while Meniere's disease was found in 2 cases of 47 patients with negative signs of membranous labyrinthine hydrops(the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the diagnosis of Meniere's disease were 92.0%, 95.9% and 94.6%, respectively). Three cases were complicated with vestibular migraine in the 25 cases with positive signs of membranous labyrinthine hydrops, and 29 cases were finally diagnosed as vestibular migraine in 47 cases with negative signs of membranous labyrinthine hydrocephalus (the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of diagnosing vestibular migraine with signs of membranous labyrinthine hydrops were 90.6%, 52.4% and 68.9%, respectively). Conclusion:The 3D-FLAIR MRI technique of inner ear after gadolinium radiography has an important role in distinguishing the suspected diseases of paroxysmal vestibular syndrome, and is helpful to improve the diagnosis level of vestibular diseases.

The Wnt/β-catenin pathway serves important roles in cancer development. The expression and function of Chibby (Cby), as a direct antagonist of β-catenin, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not been fully investigated. The present study revealed that the mRNA and protein expression of Cby was significantly lower in NPC tissue than in the adjacent normal tissue. Low expression of Cby was significantly associated with the tumor and the clinical staging. Furthermore, Cby overexpression inhibited the proliferation of human NPC SUNE1 cells and induced cell cycle arrest. In addition, Cby overexpression also significantly enhanced the susceptibility of SUNE1 cells to apoptosis. These results indicated that Cby might serve as an anti-oncogenic gene in the development of NPC and could represent a potential therapeutic target for the human NPC therapy.

The aberrant expression of retinoic acid receptor-α (RARα) has been reported in various types of cancer. However, its association with the prognosis and development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has not yet been determined. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the expression and function of RARα in patients with LSCC. The expression of RARα in LSCC tissues was investigated using immunostaining. An MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis were also performed to investigate the function of RARα in the proliferation and cell cycle of LSCC cells. The expression of RARα was significantly elevated in LSCC tissues compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues (78.1 vs. 6.3%, P<0.05). The overexpression of RARα was associated with poorly differentiated features of LSCC (P<0.05). Furthermore, the downregulation of RARα inhibited the proliferation of LSCC cells, and arrested the cell cycle at the G1 phase via upregulation of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A, which may be associated with inhibition of the protein kinase B signaling pathway. Therefore, the overexpression of RARα may contribute to the development of LSCC through the regulation of the cell cycle. The results of the present study provide evidence that RARα serves an important function in LSCC development and may be a potential therapeutic target or prognostic predictor for LSCC.
