Risk factors of recurrence and canceration for premalignant vocal fold lesions after surgery / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of recurrence and canceration for premalignant vocal fold lesions after surgery, and to provide a reasonable basis for preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up. Methods:This study retrospective analyzed the relationship between clinicopathological factors and clinical outcome（recurrence, canceration, recurrence-free survival, and canceration-free survival） in 148 patients undergoing surgical treatment in Chongqing General Hospital from 2014 to 2017. Results:The five-year overall recurrence rate was 14.86% and the overall recurrence rate was 8.78%. Univariate analysis showed that smoking index, laryngopharyngeal reflux and lesion range were significantly associated with recurrence（P<0.05）, and smoking index and lesion range were significantly associated with canceration（P<0.05）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking index ≥600 and laryngopharyngeal reflux were independent risk factors for recurrence（P<0.05）, and smoking index ≥600 and lesion range ≥1/2 vocal cord were independent risk factors for canceration（P<0.05）. The mean carcinogenesis interval for the postoperative smoking cessation group was significantly longer（P<0.05）. Conclusion:Excessive smoking, laryngopharyngeal reflux and a wide range of lesions may be related to postoperative recurrence or malignant progression of precancerous lesions in the vocal cord, and further large-scale multi-center prospective randomized controlled studies are needed to clarify the effects of the above factors on recurrence and malignant changes in the future.

The clinical characteristics of elderly patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome / 重庆医学

Objective To discuss the differences of clinical features and characteristics and features of polysomnography be‐tween elderly patients and middle‐aged patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) ,so as to provide refer‐ence for the diagnosis and individualized intervention of elderly OSAHS .Methods Totally 81 aged OSAHS cases and 123 youth OSAHS cases were analyzed in terms of general condition ,clinical manifestations and polysomnographic characteristics ,and the clin‐ical manifestations and polysomnographic difference indicators of the two groups were matched according to body mass index (BMI) .Results Most OSAHS patients were males in both groups ,with BMI and neck waist circumference in the aged group less than those in the middle‐aged group ,and the difference was statistically significant (P0 .05);clinical symptoms of senile groups such as drowsiness ,snoring ,morning headaches ,dry mouth and nighttime awakenings were lower than the middle‐aged group ,the difference was statistically significant (P0 .05);REM AHI was more than the middle‐aged group ,the difference was statistically significant (P0 .05) .Conclusion The incidence of typical clinical manifestations of aged OSAHS patients was lower than that in the middle‐aged group ,but high blood pressure ,diabetes and other complications prevalence were significantly higher than those in the middle‐aged group ,with similar severity of OSAHS in both groups ,there were differences PSG monitoring results with the middle‐aged group ,and the difference of REM AHI was significant .

The surgical options of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical features & variation features of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis and to discuss its effective surgical treatment.@*METHOD@#Retrospective analysis of 27 cases of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis patients admitted to the hospital from January 2008 to December 2013. The cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis is classified based on the enhanced CT scanning conducted before operation and the preoperative evaluation of clinical characters of patients. The lymphaden ncisional biopsy was conducted on the type I patients with cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis. The lesion resection was performed on the type II and mixed type I + II patients. The regional cervical lymph node dissection was carried on the type III, the type IV and other mixed type patients. The negative pressure drainage ball was placed after operation, and the cavity was flushed with 5% povidone iodine solution. The antituberculosis therapy was performed after wound healing.@*RESULT@#The analysis of the clinical features for 27 patients: the incidence rate on the left side, right side, both sides and middle-line is 63.0%, 25.9%, 7.4% and 3.7% respectively. The majority of patients whose lesion involving more than one region account for 62.1%; the patients whose lesion involving one region account for 37.9%. The most common is level V involved lesion (69.0%), then level IV (62.1%), level III (51.7%), level II (34.5%), level I (10.3%) and level VI (3.4%) in order. The analysis of the CT imageology features for 27 patients: the simple type is the majority (65.5%), and the most common is type III (24.1%), then the type I (17.2%), type II (13.8%) and type IV (10.3%) in order. The mixed type is minority (34.5%), but the two mixed is often (31.0%). The three mixed is only located on one side (3.4%). The recurrence never happened on the patients with resection and standard antituberculosis therapy.@*CONCLUSION@#For the cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis, the suitable surgical treatments shall be selected according to the lesion characteristics & location and CT imaging manifestations presurgical evaluation. The effective way to treat cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis is to conduct negative pressure drainage after operation, to flush the cavity with 5% povidone iodine solution and to perform antituberculosis therapy.

The applications of the voice range profile in the polyp of vocal cord / 重庆医学

Objective To analyze the pathological voice ,normal voice range chart crowd voice characteristics through tests and analyze the differences between the two groups of test‐related parameters chart range between indicators ,so as to explore the value of the test range map in the polyp of vocal cord .Methods One hundred and twenty patients with vocal polyps according to in‐clusion and exclusion criteria were selected .Sixty cases of normal voice were randomly selected .Germany XION DIVAS system dia‐gram test mode range were recorded for both groups ,with the strongest voice of the bass were measured at different frequencies , first obtain low VRP intensity curve ,then get high‐intensity curve VRP .The maximum frequency of the vocal cord polyp group and normal control group ,the minimum frequency ,maximum intensity ,most quietly strong ,maximum phonation time ,fundamental fre‐quency perturbation and dysphonia index of the data were compared statistically .Results Compared with the control one ,the mean maximum frequency of vocal cord polyp group were lower (P= 0 .029 6) ,the average minimum frequency were significantly higher ( P= 0 .000 3) ,frequency range reduced(P= 0 .022 9) ;vocal cord polyp average loudest group was stronger(P= 0 .003 9) ,the whis‐pered strength values were significantly higher (P = 0 .000 0) ,significantly limited the average sound intensity range than normal voice group group (P= 0 .006 9) .Classification index based on objective voice disorders ,in terms of frequency ,mild voice disorders at the maximum frequency .There was no significant difference in the minimum frequency ,frequency range with a normal voice group ;and in severe voice disorders average maximum frequency lower than the normal voice group ,the smallest than normal voice frequency was significantly higher frequency range than the normal group was significantly limited .In terms of strength ,mild im‐pairment in the loudest voice is strong ,most quietly strong .There was no significant difference with the normal voice group intensi‐ty range ;and in severe voice disorders average maximum sound intensity ,most quietly strong values were higher than normal voice group .However ,the average sound intensity narrow range than normal voice group .Conclusion The range map test can be quanti‐fied assessment of voice ,and can distinguish normal voice ,clinical pathological voice and the severity of damage ,which is an impor‐tant means of voice feature detection to provide an objective basis .
