ABSTRACT
Objective To study the therapeutic effect of pingyangmycin local injection under suspension microlaryngoscopy for treatment of laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma. Methods The total of 44 cases of patients with laryngopharyngeal or laryngeal hemangioma were randomly divided into the experimental group ( n=22 ) and the control group (n=22). They were treated with bleomycin 5 mg or pingyangmycin 4-8 mg injection under suspension microlaryngoscopy in the hemangioma, respectively. If the treatments were not curative, repeated one more times in intermittent 15 d, but not more than 3 times. Therapeutic effect and adverse effect were recorded and analyzed. Results The total effective rate (95. 4%)in the experimental group was significantly better than that (59. 1%) in the control group (P<0. 05),and side reaction in two groups showed no significant variation. Conclusion Pingyangmycin local injection for treating laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma is effective, less adverse reaction.
ABSTRACT
A female patient with a dark red mass in the of preauricular area for over 3 months was hospitalized. Enhanced CT scan and ultrasonography showed that the mass had clear boundaries and was rich in blood supply. The patient was misdiagnosed as preauricular hemangioma, then the mass was removed as a benign tumor and found irrelevant to parot, SMA(+), Vim(+), S-100(+), indicating myoepithelial carcinoma. So a radical excision was performed to get negative incised margin. The patient didn't undergo postoperative chemotherapy but demonstrated no evidence of recurrence over a 12-month follow-up.

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the position and shape of inserted electrode arrays by plain X-ray during cochlear implantation.@*METHOD@#Cochlear view of implanted electrode arrays by plain X-ray were observed during operation in 54 patients received cochlear implant.@*RESULT@#The image in cochlear view could provide the information about position and shape of inserted electrode arrays. The spiral-shape electrode arrays without distortion and folding were found in 52 cases. The complete insertion of intracochlear electrode in these patients were confirmed by surgery. Of 54 cases, the other 2 cases showed improper position and C-shape of intracochlear electrodes, one was partial insertion and the other was bending inside the cochlea. The bending electrode array was reinserted immediately during operation.@*CONCLUSION@#Routine plain X-ray after inserted electrode during operation was a best way of knowing the shape and depth of the electrode array, especial for the difficult cochlear implantation, and also could avoided anesthetization again.
