Abstract: Malignant tumors of the pharynx and larynx have low clinical incidence, and are often terminal when discovered, with a low 5-year survival rate. The early detection of malignant tumors is a serious challenge for otolaryngologists. White-light electronic laryngoscopy has been the most commonly performed examination of the pharynx and larynx. With advances in technology, narrow-band imaging(NBI)electronic laryngoscopy now enables earlier detection of malignant tumors of the pharynx and larynx in contrast to that with ordinary white light laryngoscopy. The ability to demonstrate capillary loop morphology in the mucous membranes and submucous membranes of the throat makes minimally invasive treatment possible. NBI also plays a significant role in postoperative follow-up. This paper reviews the application of NBI in the management of tumors of the pharynx and larynx, and examines the origins, principles, advantages, disadvantages, and prospects for clinical application.

[8] ObjectiveTo discuss the early diagnosis and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of neovascular glaucoma in ocular ischemic syndrome. MethodsThe medical records of a 54-year-old male patient with cerebral infarction who presented with right-eye vision loss that had persisted for a week were reviewed. After slit-lamp examination and fluorescence angiography, he was diagnosed with ocular ischemic syndrome(OIS)complicated by neovascular glaucoma in the right eye and treated with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs and panretinal photocoagulation. ResultsAfter three months of treatment, the right-eye iris neovascularization subsided, and the intraocular pressure was controlled within normal limits. ConclusionOcular ischemia is often missed or misdiagnosed by ophthalmologists, neurologists, cardiologists, and vascular surgeons due to its insidious onset and complex clinical manifestations. Therefore, the establishment of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis of OIS patients..

[9] To explore the genesis, clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention mechanisms of the formation of stones within the nasal cavity and sinus as well as measures toreduce the rate of clinical misdiagnosis. MethodsA comprehensive analysis was conducted on six patients with nasal and sinus calculi who visited the hospital between April 2012 and November 2017. The etiology, pathology, clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and complication management of the disease were summarized for each patient. ResultFive patients underwent surgery for the removal of stones from the nasal cavity and sinus under general anesthesia. Nasal endoscopy was also performed for the assessment of the related sinus passages. One patient recovered upon nasal irrigation and anti-inflammation treatment. All the patients were followed up for six months and the mucosal layer within the operation area that was epithelialized, recovered well. The symptoms disappeared without any additional complications. ConclusionNasal endoscopy in combination with the assessment of clinical manifestation and imaging are conducive to the diagnosis of the disease. Together, these could develop into an effective treatment regimen for nasal cavity and sinusoidal lithiasis..
