Clinical analysis of short-term efficacy in senile sudden deafness / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To analysis the short-term medicinal treating effects in senile sudden deafness.@*METHOD@#According the age. The sudden deafness patients were divided into to groups, older age-group (age > or = 60, a total of 70 cases), control group (age 7 days) was 38.89%. There was statistical difference (P < 0.05); the total effective rate of the senile sudden deafness patients was 49.9%; the senile sudden deafness patients which following moderate deafness (hearing threshold < 55 dB), effective rate was 52%, control group was 84.62%. There was statistical difference (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the patients with severe hearing loss.@*CONCLUSION@#The Course of disease has important significance for the prognosis of the senile sudden deafness patients. As soon as possible to improve peripheral vascular microcirculation, the prognosis could be improve conspicuously the prognosis of the senile sudden deafness patients were worse than the young patients.

The application of nasal CT scan in evaluating the function of nasal ventilation in patients with deviation of nasal septum / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the CT scan results in patients with deviation of nasal septum and normal adults and to explore its values in evaluating the state of nasal ventilation.@*METHOD@#Twenty-six patients with deviation of nasal septum and 15 normal people were recruited in the study. The nasal airway from anterior nostril to posterior nostril was evaluated with PhlipsTomos scan AV Expander Elspiral scanner. The indexes of nasal ventilation was measured with the image-analysis software. The results of CT scan between patients with deviation of nasal septum and normal people was compared.@*RESULT@#(1) There was obvious difference between patients with deviation of nasal septum and normal people in the NMCSA, IMCSA, DNCAT and DICAT. There was obvious difference between patients with deviation of nasal septum with obstruction in the opposite side and normal people in the ONMCSA and ODNCAT. There was obvious difference between patients with deviation of nasal septum without obstruction in the opposite side and normal people in the ODNCAT. (2) In the patients with deviation of nasal septum, between nasal minimal cross sectional area and inferior turbinate's maximum cross sectional area, there is obvious relation, r = -0.394, P < 0.05.@*CONCLUSION@#CT is one kind of objective inspection method in evaluating the state of nasal ventilation. With the measurement of the nasal morphology and functional index, we can understand the state of nasal ventilation more comprehensively. And with this, the treatment and diagnosis of disease with nasal obstruction will be more scientific.
