Clinical Obervation of Effect of Budesonide on Epithelization in Surgical Cavities Following Endoscopic Sinuous Surgery / 药物流行病学杂志

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of the use of budesonide for externally-used budesonide in the surgical cavities following endoscopic sinuous surgery(ESS).Method:122 cases with chronic sinusitis were randomly divided into two groups treated by the routine procedures after endoscopic sinuous surgery but the treatment group with 61 cases were treated by the addition of budesonide suspension for inhalation in the surgical cavities.The process of the epithelization in the surgical cavities by endoscopy was investigated.Result:The process of cleaning in 15 days in the surgical cavities was better in the budesonide-using group than in the controlled group.A significant difference was found(P

A retrospective study on cholesteatoma otitis media coexisting with cholesterol granuloma / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

To investigate the etiology and pathogenesis of cholesteatoma otitis media accompanied by cholesterol granuloma and the relationship between cholesteatoma and cholesterol granuloma, 63 cases of middle ear cholesterol granuloma treated in our hospital during the period from March 1988 to May 2000 were retrospectively reviewed. All cases were surgically and pathologically verified. 15 cases of cholesteatoma coexisting with cholesterol granuloma were found among the 63 patients. All 15 cases had a long-term history of otitis media, such as otorrhea (sanguine purulent otorrhea and bloody otorrhea in 8 cases) and perforation of the eardrum (perforation of pars flaccida in 8 cases). Temporal bone CT scans showed cholesteatoma in 11 cases. All patients were treated surgically, and cholesteatoma and cholesterol granuloma were found coexisting alternately, the latter lying mainly in the tympanic antrum, attic and mastoid air cells. Chocolate-colored mucus was accumulated in well-developed mastoid air cells, and glistening dotty cholesterol crystals were also found. In most cases, enlarged aditus, destruction of lateral attic wall, erosion of ossicular chain, exposure of horizontal segment of facial nerve and tegmen of attic were observed. Occlusion of Eustachian tube was noted in 6 cases, and occlusion of tympanic isthmus was revealed in all cases. A post-operative dry ear was achieved in all patients, and hearing improvement was achieved in all 12 cases following tympanoplasty. Cholesteatoma and cholesterol granuloma in middle ear may share a common pathophysiological etiology: occlusion of ventilation and disturbance of drainage. The diagnosis should be considered when patients presented with chronic otitis media with bloody otorrhea. CT and magnetic resonance imaging are useful for the diagnosis before operation. The surgical approach depends on the location, extension and severity of the lesion. The purpose of surgery is to remove the lesion and create an adequate drainage.

Transcanal myringoplasty under ear endoscope: Report of 26 cases / 中国微创外科杂志

Objective To evaluate clinical effects of endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty. Methods Endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty was conducted in 26 cases (27 ears) from August 2001 to May 2004. After an endoscope was introduced into the external auditory canal, an examination was made regarding the size, location and margin of the tympanic membrane perforation, as well as mucosa of the middle ear and the ossicula chain. Results Myringoplasty was completed successfully under endoscope without additional incision in all the cases, including overlay grafting in 10 ears and underlay grafting in 7 ears. The operation time was 20~50 min (30?5 min). Postoperative hospital stay was 1~3 days. Follow-up for 1~2 months in all the 26 cases showed living grafts in 25 ears and dead grafts in 2 ears, the success rate of myringoplasty being 92 6%(25/27). Conclusions Endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty gives advantages of simple performance, minimal invasion, quick recovery, and excellent curative effects.
