Abstract: Objective This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of distant metastasis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal and its influence on prognosis. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical data and follow-up information of 22 patients who underwent radical surgeries and were diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal by pathology. They were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2007 to March 2019. The risk factors of distant metastasis and their influence on prognosis were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The rate of distant metastasis in this group was 40.9%, and the incidence of lung metastasis was the highest(66.7%). Univariate analysis showed that positive surgical margin and lymphatic metastasis during the operation were related to distant metastasis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of external auditory canal(P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that positive surgical margin and lymphatic metastasis were significantly associated with distant metastasis(P<0.05). The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates of patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal who developed distant metastasis were 44.4% and 16.7%, respectively, while those without distant metastasis had 100% 5-year and 10-year survival rates. The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal has a higher rate of distant metastasis, with predominant lung metastasis. Positive surgical margin and lymphatic metastasis were were independent risk factors for distant metastasis, which is an important indicator affecting the prognosis of patients with the tumor.

[6] This study aims to evaluate the level of expression of cyclin E2 in hypopharyngeal cancer and its relationship with clinical characteristics as well as prognosis. MethodsThe protein levels of cyclin E2 in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues were assessed by immunohistochemistry staining in 50 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer. The relationship between the expression level of cyclin E2 and clinical data was analyzed using the SPSS software. ResultsProtein levels of cyclin E2 in hypopharyngeal cancer were higher than protein levels of cyclin E2 in normal tissue(Z=-5.764,P=0.000). The cyclin E2 level in tumor tissue correlated with the tumor staging(Z=-1.995, P=0.046)and lymph node metastasis(Z=-2.176, P=0.030). The 5-year survival rates of patients with cyclin E2 positive and negative expression were 40.2% and 81.8%, respectively. Patients with high expression levels of cyclin E2 had a lower survival rate(χ=6.317, P=0.012). ConclusionThe abnormal expression of cyclin E2 protein in tumor tissues indicates that cyclin E2 may be involved in the development of hypopharyngeal cancer and could be a potential diagnostic and prognostic molecular marker..

[7] Rhinogenic headache is caused by rhinosinusitis or abnormal nasal anatomy. Currently, there are clear classifications and pain grading standards to diagnose the same. Further, its mechanism of action is now understood to involve trigeminal nerve stimulation and sensory neuropeptide substance P. Functional endoscopic surgery(FESS)is prioritized as a treatment modality. During surgery, it is imperative to restore the normal anatomy of the nasal cavity. Several clinical studies have reported that FESS was significantly effective in treating rhinogenic headache, with an overall effective rate of 90% and cure rate of 78%. Additionally, one report indicates that postoperative endoscopic examination and dressing change can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications and ensure safety of the treatment..
