ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expressions of CD147 and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9)in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC)tissue and their clinical significance.Methods The expressions of CD147 and MMP-9 were analyzed semi-quantitatively by immunohistochemical staining in LSCC and control group tissues.Results ① The positive rate of CD147 was 83.3% (30/36)in LSCC,which was higher than that in laryngeal polyp (33.3%,5/15)and in adjacent normal tissue (16.7%,6/36);it was related to histological grade, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis status (P<0 .0 5 ).② The positive rate of MMP-9 was 7 2 .2% (2 6/3 6 )in LSCC,which was higher than that in laryngeal polyp (13.3%,2/15)and in adjacent normal tissue (5.6%,2/36);it was related to histological grade,T stage,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis status (P<0.05).③ There was a positive correlation between the expressions of CD147 and MMP-9 in LSCC tissue (r=0.721,P=0.000). Conclusion The over-expressions of CD147 and MMP-9 in LSCC may contribute to the development and metastasis of LSCC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of improved local nerve block anesthesia in correction of nasal septum surgery.Methods One hundred and fifty-one cases of patients with simply received correction of nasal septum surgery were divided into two groups,72 cases with normal local nerve block (normal group),receiving sphenopalatine and anterior ethmoidal nerve block anesthesia; 79 cases with the improved local nerve block (improved group),receiving sphenopalatine,anterior ethmoidal and incisive canal nerve block anesthesia.Two groups of anesthesia success and anesthesia effect were compared.Results The anesthesia success rates of improved group and normal group who were performed correction of nasal septum surgery without removal of the nasal bottom ridge were 100.0％(41/41) and 97.3％ (36/37),there was no significant difference (P＞ 0.05).But for 73 cases who were performed correction of nasal septum surgery with removal of the nasal bottom ridge,the anesthesia success rate in improved group was higher than that in normal group [92.1％(35/38) vs.45.7％(16/35)],there was significant difference (x2 =18.623,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Based on the distribution characteristics of sensory nerves of the nasal cavity,and combined with endoscopic techniques,the conventional sphenopalatine and anterior ethmoidal nerve block anesthesia is suitable for nasal septum surgery without removal of the nasal bottom ridge and the advanced sphenopalatine,anterior ethmoidal and incisive canal nerve block anesthesia is the first choice for nasal septum surgery with removal of the nasal bottom ridge.
