    Objective    To explore factors influencing the metastasis of lymph nodes in clinical analysis negative (cN0)  papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and to analyze the value and feasibility of total thyroidectomy and prophylactic lymph node cleaning in Ⅶ)Ⅵ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ(+)Ⅱ. Methods    The clinical statistics of 162 patients with cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma treated by total thyroidectomy and prophylactic lymph node cleaning in Ⅵ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ(+)Ⅱ in Jinan Military General Hospital from November 2008 to March 2012 were systemically retrospectively analyzed. Results    Of the 162 cases, 74 cases(74/162,45.7%) were positive in lymph node in which 71 cases(71/162,43.8%) happed in central line and 45 cases (45/ 162,29.6%) in lateral line III and Ⅳ(+)Ⅱ. The relative risk factors of neck lymph node metastasis in PTMC reside in age and invasion state of tumor capsule. There was only one single laryngeal recurrent nerve injury for tumor invasion. There was 1 case of breeding(0.62%), 2 hematoma(1.23%) and 59 temporary parathyroid function decline. All were cured after treatment. No permanent parathyroid gland damage happened. Conclusion    It is safe and of great important and operable probability to do the total thyroidectomy and VI neck lymph node cleaning (high risk including  Ⅲ, Ⅳ(+)Ⅱ) for cN0 PTMC.

    Objective    To explore the regularity of cervical lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma and to select an appropriate surgical method for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods    The clinical data of 616 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma treated in this hospital between January 2001 and August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Results    The total lymph node metastasis rate was 58.77% (362/616). The lymph node metastasis rate was 48.70% (300/616) in level Ⅵ and was 38.80% (239/616) in level Ⅱ,  Ⅲ,  Ⅳ and Ⅴ.  There was significant relationship between the site of the original tumor, maximum diameter, amicula invasion, multifocality, age of patients and cervical lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Conclusion    Lymph nodes of level Ⅵ should routinely be dissected in the first surgery in patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma. When the tumor is invaded to amicula, or whose diameter is >1.0cm or is multifocality, the cervical lymph node should be dissected and frozen biopsy should be made in the operations to determine the extend of lymphadenectomy.

    The benefits of131I remnant ablation include: ① facilitating the interpretation of subsequent serum thyroglobulin levels; ② increasing the sensitivity of detection of locoregional and/or metastatic disease on subsequent follow-up radioactive iodine whole-body scans; ③ maximizing the therapeutic effect of subsequent treatments, and ④ allowing a postablation scan to help identify additional sites of disease that were not identified on the preablation scan or when a preablation scan was not performed. The potential benefits of 131I adjuvant treatment include decreasing recurrence and disease-specific mortality for unknown microscopic, locoregional, and/or distant metastatic disease. The potential benefits of 131I treatment of known locoregional and/or distant metastases are ① decreasing recurrence, and ② decreasing disease-specific mortality and/or palliation. The more significant risks and side effects involve organ systems including eye/nasolacrimal, salivary, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hematopoietic, and gonads as well as secondary primary malignancies. Although there are never-ending controversies regarding 131I therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer, the benefits and risks are becoming better understood. This in turn helps the treating physician and patient in making decisions regarding therapy.

    Objective    To explore the clinical, histopathologic and immunohistochemical features and the methods of diagnosis and treatment of myoepithelial Carcinoma in head and neck. Methods    A retrospective study was carried out in 5 cases of myoepithelial carcinoma in head and neck from January 2003 to December 2012.  With literature review, the clinical, histopathologic and immunohistochemistic characteristics of this disease were discussed. Results    There were 3 cases originated in parotid gland, 1 case in hard palate, and 1 in nasal cavity and nasal sinus. All cases were diagnosed by pathohistological and immunohistochemical findings. 4 cases underwent  radical surgery, while 1 case received  radio-chemotherapy. After the operation,  local recurrenceoccurred in 3 cases, in which 2 cases of cervical lymph node metastasis  underwent secondary neck dissection, while  distance metastasis was identified in 2 cases. During the follow-up, four patients died of tumor , and 1 patient was tumor-free survival(10 months after operation). Conclusion    Myoepithelial carcinoma in head and neck is a malignant epithelial tumor with poor prognosis, which mostly occurs in the salivary glands, rarely in nasal cavity and nasal sinus, with  high  occurrence of  cervical lymph nodes and/or distance metastasis. Comprehensive treatment is recommned, however,  postoperative recurrence  is still common.

    Objective    To recognize the correlation of segment of lesion and prognosis in the patients with peripheral facial palsy by Gd-enhanced MRI. Methods    The patients were scanned by Siemens Magnet V1.5 T, while contralateral as control. The conventional T1WI, T2WI axial and coronal thin layer scanning, Gd-DTPA-enhanced, delayed 30min re-imaging and multi-plane reconstruction were performed. Results     ① In 3 patients who underwent operation, 1 displayed in reconstruction full-distance normal nerve without interruption and edema. She recovered completely to the H-B 1 grading in 3 months. Another patient had facial palsy before the operation due to huge cholesteatoma.  Entire facial nerve showed edema but no discontinuity.  The patient recovered to H-B 3 grading after the operation. MRI reconstruction of the last huge vestibular schwannoma patient demonstrated facial nerve continuous as same as before the operation. H-B grading remained at 6 before and after the operation. ② Among six Bell′s palsy patients, enhancement were noted from inner ear to tympanic segment in one case, inner ear to labyrinth segment in one case, geniculate ganglion and tympanic segment in one case,  geniculate ganglion to mastoid segment in two cases, and only inner ear segment in two cases. All six patients were cured after the treatment with H-B grading 1. ③ Among six Ramsay Hunt syndrome patients, facial nerves showed normal in one case and enhancement in inner ear segment in two cases. Of the 3 remaining cases, 2 showed enhancement in inner ear segment, while 1 in mastoid segment. After the treatment, 5 patients showed enhancement in cochlea, but all six recovered to H-B grading 1. Conclusion    MRI enhancement and reconstruction can clearly reveal segment and extent of facial nerve lesion, in addition to prognostic information.

    Objective    To investigate the effectiveness of defect repair of ear canal with autologous periosteo-bone graft and postoperative mastoid cavity inflation. Methods    Clincal data of 43 cases (40 patients) were reviewed. All patients underwent radical mastoidectomy before. The mean pre-operative air conduction (AC) was 68.27±14.13 dBHL, and the mean GAP was 47.02 ± 12.72 dBHL. These cases were further divided into two groups: a) 20 cases received ear ossicle remodeling surgery and the radical mastoid cavity was repaired by periosteo-bone graft; b) The other 23 cases(among them, 3 cases from the former group were re-operated )received additional postoperative mastoid cavity inflation twice per day. Follow-up lasted 9-60 months (mean 16.46±8.36 months). Result s    All ear canals recovered with smooth appearance .In eight cases, postoperative CT scans showed re-gasification of attic and/or mastoid cavity. Compared with the preoperative, postoperative mean AC and GAP were 47.02±12.72 and 23.04±15.30 dBHL, respectively (both P<0.01). The effective rate was 62%(27 cases) and mild effective rate was 37%. In the 3 cases reoperated, poor postoperative hearing  were noted and the adhesion located between the mesotympanum and attic. After the revising surgery, 2 cases gained satisfying GAP. Conclusion    Bone graft containing periosteum can be used to reconstruct the ear canal. Auxiliary inflation of middle ear can promote the attic and/or mastoid cavity re-gasification and hearing recovery.

    Objective    To explore the roles of MCP-1 and BMP-7 in the formation of auricular keloids. Methods    Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect MCP-1 and BMP-7 expression in 29 cases of auricular keloid tissues and 22 cases of normal skin tissue. The correlation between MCP-1 and BMP-7 expression in auricular keloid tissues was discussed. Results    The positive rate of MCP-1in auricular keloids group was 82.76%, which was significantly higher than that of non-pathological scar group (28.57%) and the control group(9.09%) (χ2=12.033, 24.350;  all P<0.05); The positive rate of BMP-7 in keloids group was 17.24%, which was significantly lower than that of non-pathological scar group (57.14%) and the control group(81.82%) (χ2=9.442, 18.432; all P<0.05). A negative correlation between MCP-1 and BMP-7 expression of auricular keloid tissues was noted(r=-0.538,P<0.05). Conclusion    MCP-1 and BMP-7 participate in the regulation of auricular keloid formation process.  BMP-7 can be used as an ideal target in gene therapy to prevent keloids.

    Objective    To analyze the audiological characteristics in infants failed in hearing screening and provide useful information for early intervention in this population. Methods    Between January 2011 and December 2012, 286 infants who failed hearing screening in one or two ears received a full audiological test battery consisted of auditory brainstem responses(ABRs), 40Hz auditory event related potential(40Hz—AERP), distortion product otoacoustic emissions(DPOAEs)and tympanometry. Results    95(33.22%) infants were normal hearing subjects and 191(66.78%)showed hearing loss, which was either unilateral(n=70, 24.47%) or bilateral(n=121, 42.31%), including 59 cases(20.63%) of conductive hearing loss and 132 cases(46.15%) of sensorineural hearing loss. Hearing loss ranged from mild(n=91, 31.82%), moderate(n=43, 15.03%), severe(n=20, 6.99%) to profound(n=37, 12.94%). Testing  was repeated in 16(8.38%) of these 191 infants with hearing loss. The results turned out that 2 of them became normal, while 10 were bilateral loss and  4  were unilateral loss. Conclusion    The hearing level in some infants who failed hearing screening can turn into normal owing to the development of auditory system. Middle ear function may be a confusing factor in hearing screening. The audiological characteristics in infants failed in hearing screening can be evaluated by audiological test battery, which provides useful information for early identification and intervention in this population. The results of hearing screening should be interpreted appropriately. However, poor follow-up compliance is still a big problem in such efforts.

    Objective    To investigate the therapeutic effects of otoscopic myringoplasty with autogenous adipose tissue. Methods    128 cases of otoscopic myringoplasty with autogenous adipose tissue, which were harvested from earlobe or abdomen, were analyzed. The surgical procedure might be repeated due to difficult closure for large tympanic perforation. Results    The perforation of tympanic membranes were successfully repaired with one myringoplasty in 120 patients, twice in 6 patients and three times in 2 patients. The total cure rate was 100%. Hearing examination six months postoperative showed the average threshold of pure tone air conduction was(21.4±8.6)dB. The threshold difference between pure tone bone-conduction and air-conduction was only(10.2±4.6)dB. Conclusion    Otoscopic myringoplasty with autogenous adipose is a simple, easy  and minimally invasive procedure, which can be applied in the repair of large central perforation of membrana tensa,and the patients with failed operation.

    Objective    To explore the significance of CT scan and endoscopy on the treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media. Methods    Clinical data of 35 patients (42 ear) suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media or middle ear cholesteatoma between January 2008 and Januaryr 2011 were reviewed.  Results of temporal bone CT scan and otoscopy were analyzed. Results        ①CT results of chronic suppurative otitis media could be divided into simple, sclerotic, granular  and mixed type.  Feature of middle ear cholesteatoma was the disappearance of ossicular chain or incudomalleolar joint and attic mesotympanum was occupied by soft tissue. Lateral semicircular canal bone, horizontal segment of the facial nerve canal and external auditory canal bone were destroyed in some cases. In simple type, incomplete mastoid gasification was noted.  In sclerotic type, sclerotic mastoid and similar bone shadow around the handle of malleus and stapes were prominent. CT results of granular type and mixed type were similar, in which the lesions involved the tympanic and mastoid, but not ossicular chain and facial nerve canal. ② Characteristic of otoscopy for chronic suppurative otitis media was the perforation of membrane tensa and eardrum calcification. For middle ear cholesteatoma,  perforation of shrapnell’s membrane, posterior superior quadrant and fall down of  the top wall of external auditory meatus, et al, could be identified. Conclusion    CT scan and otoscopy are important methods to assess the nature of the lesions, range, degree, and surgical options for chronic suppurative otitis media and middle ear cholesteatoma.

    Objective    To determine the characters and difference of the impact of persistent allergic rhinitis of different degrees on the lower airway. Methods    All patients enrolled in this study were categorized into three groups, the mild group(165 subjects), the moderate/severe group(101 subjects), and the normal control group(136 healthy subjects). Induced sputum differential cytology tests, measurements of exhaled nitric oxide concentration and methacholine bronchial provocation tests were performed. The character and difference in the lower airway among the three groups were compared. Results        ① The measurements of fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration and the positive rate of fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration of the moderate/severe group and the mild group both had significant statistical difference with the normal control group(39.07±24.29 vs 25.81±18.68 vs 9.01±10.01, P<0.01; 66.19% vs 33.33% vs 8.82%, P<0.01) ; ② Proportion and positive rate of eosinophils in induced sputum of the two rhinitis groups had no significantly statistical difference with each other(5.51±9.11% vs 4.02±7.10%; 40.59% vs 35.57%, P>0.05), but they both had significantly statistical difference with the normal control group(5.51±9.11% vs  0.48±1.28%, 4.02±7.10% vs 0.48±1.28%; 40.59% vs 1.47%, 35.57% vs 1.47%, P<0.01); ③ Positive rate of bronchial provocation test of the moderate/severe group had significantly statistical difference with the mild group and the normal control group(14.85% vs 4.24%,14.85% vs 1.23%, P<0.01), but the mild group had no significantly statistical difference with the normal control group(4.24% vs 1.23%, P>0.05). Conclusion    ① The disparity of the lower airway inflammation consists in perennial allergic rhinitis of different degrees; ② Our research demonstrates that the moderate/severe perennial allergic rhinitis exhibits superior lower airway abnormality, indicating that such patients have high-risk of suffering from asthma, in view of this condition, they should be paid sufficient attention to by otorhinolaryngologists and respiratory physicians.

    Objective    To investigate the correlation between otitis media with effusion (OME) and allergic rhinitis(AR) in children with adenoid hypertrophy. Methods    870 patients under 12 years old with adenoid hypertrophy were collected for current retrospective analysis. Association between AR and eustachian tube dysfunction and OME was calculated by Chi-square test and logistic regression model. Results        The prevalence of allergic rhinitis children with adenoid hypertrophy was 30.11%. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in different age groups had significant difference and increased with age(P< 0.01). The probability of eustachian tube dysfunction and OME occurring in patients younger than 6 years was high and reached the highest in 1 to 3 years old patients(P=0.001). OME prevalence was higher in spring(P=0.001) than in other seasons. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis with eustachian tube dysfunction was 1.4 times higher than those without allergic rhinitis(P=0.042). The detection rate of OME with AR was 0.32 times hihger than that of OME without AR(P=0.052). Conclusion    The structures, physiological and pathological characteristics of eustachian tube are the main factors causing eustachian tube dysfunction and high incidence of OME. Allergy maybe the secondary factor. With children′s growth,the pathogenicity of the former becomes lower and the latter becomes higher, but the incidence of otitis media with effusion decreases.

    Objective    To assess the correlation of hyoid position, minimal section area of retroglossal space and severity of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods    57 adult OSAHS patients, diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG), were included in the study, and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was used as an indicator for the severity of OSAHS. All the patients underwent upper airway 64-row CT scanning in supine and FH perpendicular to the ground position.  The computerized 3D reconstruction technique was used to reconstruct the sagittal and axial images. With the help of sagittal images, the angle between the hyoid bone and mandibular planes (α) was measured and used as the indicator for the vertical position of the hyoid bone; Meanwhile, the ratio(R) of hyoid-anterior mandible distance to hyoid-posterior mandible distance was measured and used as the indicator of the anteroposterior position of the hyoid bone. With the help of axial images, the sectional area (s) of the retroglossal space was measured. The correlation of such indexes as, R, s, as well as AHI were analyzed by SPSS.  Results    In 57 cases,α positively correlated with AHI (R=0.305, P=0.021).  There was no correlation between AHI and R . Both α and R didn′t show any correlation with s. Conclusion    In OSAHS patients, the severity of the disease is related to the position of the hyoid bone. With the advancement of OSAHS, the position of the hyoid tends to move downwardly. The possible causes could be the aggregation of soft tissues, such as fat and etc., at the mouth floor and the hypofunction of muscles related to the hyoid. But, under its natural condition, the change of the hyoid position in OSAHS patient would not lead to the transformation of the sectional area  of the retroglossal space.
