ABSTRACT

Objective:To detect the infection and subtype status of human papilloma virus (HPV) for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated in a single center in Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province.Methods:The primary lesion samples from 167 HNSCC patients in Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College between December 2014 and December 2016 were collected. The expression of p16 protein in tumor tissues was detected by using immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the positive rate of tumor cell p16 protein≥ 76% was used as a diagnostic standard to judge HPV in HNSCC; the relationship between p16 protein and the clinicopathological factors was analyzed. The status of HPV 16/18 DNA in tumor tissues was tested by using in situ hybridization(ISH). RNA scope was used to detect the RNA expression of 18 kinds of common high-risk HPV subtype (HPV HR 18), and the positive status of HPV HR 18 in tumor tissues with the positive cell proportion ≥ 50% of p16 protein was analyzed.Results:The strong expression rate of p16 protein was 7.2% (12/167). The strong expression rate of p16 protein in the younger group (< 50 years old) was higher than that in the older group (≥ 50 years old) [17.2% (5/29) vs. 5.1% (7/138), χ 2=5.321, P=0.021]. The strong expression rate of p16 protein in the oropharyngeal carcinoma group was higher than that in the non-oropharyngeal carcinoma group [29.4% (5/17) vs. 4.7% (7/150), χ 2=14.019, P < 0.01]. The strong expression rate of p16 protein in the gender, smoking and alcohol consumption, tumor staging and stratification among different patients was not statistically different (all P > 0.05). HPV 16/18 DNA was not found in all HNSCC primary lesions by using ISH, which showed the same result after repeated examination. RNAscope method showed that 3 cases (15.8%) out of the 19 patients with p16 protein positive rate≥50% were HPV HR 18 RNA positive. Conclusions:The positive rate of HPV for HNSCC patients in Chaoshan area is low, while the patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma have the highest rate and tend to be younger. The main carcinogenic viruses of HPV for HNSCC patients in Chaoshan area are other subtypes of HPV including HPV HR 18 rather than HPV 16/18.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and effectiveness of a deep circumflex iliac artery based iliac-internal oblique musculofascial chimeric flap (DCIA-IIOF) in reconstruction of complex oromandibular defect. Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2015, DCIA-IIOFs were used to repair complex oromandibular defects in 11 patients. There were 8 males and 3 females, with an age of 27-75 years (median, 56 years). Original disease was lower gingival squamous cell carcinoma in 7 cases (T 3N 1M 0 in 2 cases, T 3N 2M 0 in 1 case, T 4N 0M 0 in 2 cases, and T 4N 2M 0 in 2 cases), osteoradionecrosis after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in 2 cases, central mandibular squamous cell carcinoma in 1 case (T 4N 0M 0), and mandibular malignant fibrous histiocytoma in 1 case. The length of mandibular bone defects ranged from 7 to 10 cm (mean, 8 cm), and the area of the mucosal defects ranged from 5 cm×3 cm to 7 cm×4 cm. Preoperative ultrasonic identification of the DCIA and its ascending branch was routinely performed. The DCIA-IIOF was harvested by using an anterograde dissection technique, of which the iliac island was used for segmental mandibular defect repair and the musculofascial island for soft tissue and mucosal defect repair. Results: All 11 cases were followed up 15-75 months (median, 37 months). All flaps survived after operation, without necrosis of both iliac island and oblique internal musculofascial island. One patient had a mild submandibular infection which healed after wound drainage and intravenous antibiotics. At 1 month after operation, the color and texture of the musculofascial island were similar to oral mucosa without contracture, and the occluding relation was good for all patients. At 6 months after operation, the mouth opening hardly improved in 2 patients who had osteoradionecrosis; 1 patient who underwent postoperative radiotherapy had restriction of mouth opening; the remaining 8 patients had normal month opening and normal diet. Three patients died of cancer recurrence, 2 patients died of other diseases (encephalorrhagia in 1 case and myocardial infarction in 1 case), and the others survived without recurrence during follow-up. No patient developed abdominal hernia during follow-up. Conclusion : DCIA-IIOF is a reliable flap in reconstruction of complex oromandibular defects. The occluding relation after operation is good and the mucosal lining is soft. This technique provides an effective option for moderate complex oromandibular defects repair.

ABSTRACT

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVEThis study was designed to compare the quality of life between patients who underwent a tongue reconstruction with radial forearm flap (RFF) and infrahyoid myocutaneous flap (IHMCF) after hemiglossectomy for their tongue cancers, and to figure out an optimal reconstructive method for the defects resulted from hemiglossectomy.METHODSA non-randomized case-control study was performed on 24 patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma who underwent a standard hemiglossectomy combined with perfectly tongue reconstruction from June 2005 to June 2012. All of the cases were without tongue base invasion. Of the 24 cases, 19 had T2 disease, 5 had T3 disease, and they were divided into RFF group (n=10) and IHMCF group (n=14). The quality of life were evaluated one year after operation using EORTC-QLQ30 and FACT-H&N35 and compared between the two groups.RESULTSThe scores were comparable between the two group with regard to all domains of EORTC-QLQ30,with all P values>0.05.The scores of swallowing(P=0.005), speech (P=0.008), teeth (P=0.014), and cough (P=0.009) domains were significantly higher in IHMCF group than in RFF group, with P value of 0.005, 0.008, 0.014 and 0.009 respectively, while the other domains of FACT-H&N35 were comparable between the two groups, with allP values>0.05.CONCLUSIONOverall quality of life was similar in the two groups. Oral function domains were better in IHMCF group than in RFF group. When guarantee of flap survival is available, IHMCF could be used as a good alternative flap to RFF in tongue reconstruction after hemiglossectomy.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and validity of near infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green in sentinel node biopsy for cN0 oral carcinoma.Methods Thirty cases of previously untreated oral carcinoma staged cT1-3 N0M0 were enrolled in this study.1 ml of indocyanine green (25 mg/ 5 ml) was injected both around the primary tumor in a 4 quadrant pattern and in the base of the tumor before skin incision.After elevation of the platysma flap and posterior retraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle,fluorescence images were taken with a near infrared fluorescence detector until the hotspots were captured,then the hotspot lymph nodes were removed.Lymph nodes identified with fluorescent hotspots and verified in vivo were defined as sentinel nodes,and they were harvested and sent together with neck dissection specimen for pathologic study.Results Sentinel nodes were successfully harvested in all 30 cases.The number of sentinel nodes per case varied from 1 to 9,with an average number of 3.4.Routine pathology demonstrated that occult metastasis was exclusively found in the sentinel nodes in 5 cases (16.67%),and all the other lymph nodes were free from metastasis.No tracer associated adverse effects occurred in this series.Conclusion Near infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green has a high detection rate in sentinel node biopsy for cN0 oral/oropharyngeal carcinoma and the sentinel nodes can evaluate the cervical metastatic status accurately.It is an easy,feasible and promising method,which is worthy of further investigation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the principles of donor site selection for defects of the hypopharynx and/or cervical-esophagus based on a novel defect classification system and treatment outcome of this series.@*METHOD@#Thirty-nine patients underwent reconstruction of their defects of the hypopharynx and/or cervical-esophagus from January 2007 to June 2012 were retrospectively studied. 23 hypopharngeal and/or cervical-esophageal defects were circumferential or near circumferential (group A), 16 were partial(group B). 22 patients had compromised neck vascular status, while the other 17 patients had normal neck vascular status. Selection of the donor sites was based on extent of the defects and neck vascular status. Donor sites for reconstruction of the defects of group A included anterolateral thigh flap (n = 8), gastric pull-up (n = 6), radial forearm flap (n = 3), jejunum flap (n = 3), and pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (n = 3). For goup B, Infrahyoid myocutaceous flaps, radial forearm flaps, and pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps were used in 8, 3, and 5 cases, respectively. Flap survival, surgical complications, function outcome, and tumor control were observed.@*RESULT@#Overall complication rate was 12.8% (5/39) in this series. In group A, three flap necroses occurred in jejunum flap (n = 1), anterolateral thigh flap (n = 1), and pectoralis major flap (n = 1). All these flap necroses occurred in the compromised neck vascular status group. One case of pharyngeal fistula without flap necrosis occurred in Group B. All except 2 patients restored oral intake postoperatively; 16 patients with laryngeal preservation had good phonation postoperatively. 2-year and 3-year survival of this series were 72.1% and 65.2%, respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#Selection of an appropriate donor site for reconstruction of the defects of hypopharynx and /or cervical-esophagus should be based on the extent of the defects, neck vascular status, and clinical features of the flap. Individualized donor site selection for hypopharyngeal and cervical esophageal defects reconstruction can result in good clinical outcome.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo compare the exposure, identification of parathyroid and postoperative complications between total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal/near total thyroidectomy (S/NT) for bilateral multiple thyroid nodules. MethodsA total of 278 cases were performed TT and S/NT randomly from Dec. 2006 to Dec.2009. The histology, identification of parathyroid and recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN), and incidence of complications were compared between the 2 surgical procedures. The data were processed with t test or x2 test.Results227 cases were estimated to be benign preoperatively, among whom 28 cases ( 12.3% ) were diagnosed as focal cancer by postoperative pathology. The identification rate of parathyroid was 96.5% in TT group and 60.4% in S/NT group (P<0.05). The mean postoperative serum calcium level was 2.057 +0.016 mmol/L in TT group and 2. 15 + 0.019 mmol/L in S/NT group (P < 0.05 ). The incidence rate of transient hypoparathyroidism (HPT) was 16.9% in TT group and 5.7% in S/NT group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the 2 groups in terms of the incidence rate of permanent HPT and transient recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) palsy ( P > 0.05 ). The incidence rate of permanent HPT was higher in reoperation cases ( 11.1% ) than in primary surgery cases (0.0%) in TT group ( P <0.05 ). ConclusionBased on the accurate technique under microscope field, TT is a safe surgical procedure for primary surgery with bilateral multiple thyroid nodules.

ABSTRACT

Objective To report the clinical results and the advantages/disadvantages of anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) and forearm flap (FAF) in reconstruction of head and neck defect after cancer ablation. Methods 20 FAFs and 12 ALTs were performed to repair the head and neck tumor ablation defects. Of the 20 FAFs, 7 were used for repair of the through and through buccal defects, 4 for circumferential bypopharyngeal defects, 2 for plate defects, 1 for parotid area skin defect, 4 for floor of the mouth defects, and 2 for defect, of the base of the tongue, while of the 12 ALTs, 3 were used for repair of the defects of the base of the tongue, 4 for plate defects, and 5 for the floor of the mouth and/or lower gum defects. Survival of the flaps, function of the recipient site, and impact to the donor site were compared between these two groups to analyze the advantages/disadvantsges and key technique details of these two flaps. Results 19 FAFs totally survived. Vascular crisis occurred in 2 cases of FAF, of which 1 flap survived after conservative treatment, while the other 1 developed partial necrosis. All the 12 ALTs survived, without vascular crisis. 2 of the 14 planed ALTs were abandoned and replaced by FAFs, of which 1 because of absence of the perforating branch and the other 1 because of injury of the perforating branch. Secondary defects of the ALTs could be closed primarily, while secondary defects of the FAFs should be closed with skin grafts. Conlusion Both ALT and FAF can be performed with high survival rate. Each has its own advantages. Selection of the donor site deponds on situation of the defect and purpose of the reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To investigate the clinical value of combined dye-isotope technique in detecting sentinel lymph node (SLN) and to examine whether the characteristics of SLN accurately predict cervical lymph node metastasis in lingual carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty patients with lingual carcinoma without lymph metastasis were injected with a dose of about 18.5 MBq of (99m)Tc-SC (sulfur colloid), around the tumor tissues before surgery, and lymphoscintigraphy was performed 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes, and 6 hours after injection. In the following day, all patients were injected with isosulfan blue dye around the primary tumor during surgery to trace SLN and underwent standard cervical lymph node dissection after SLN dissection. The pathological results of SLN were compared with standard lymph node dissection for their ability to accurately predict the final pathological status of the cervical lymph nodes.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>SLN was successfully identified in 100% of the patients. Both positive and negative predictive values of SLN were 100%. The accuracy rate was 100%, and there were no false negatives.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The detection of SLN using combined dye-isotope technique could accurately predict cervical lymph node metastasis in lingual carcinoma.</p>
