RESUMO
Objective:To report one case of renal clear cell carcinoma transferred to the nasal cavity and sinuses treated by low temperature coblation assisted nasal malignant tumor resection under nasal endoscopye, and to review the associated literatures.Methods: Under nasal endoscope, the tumor was removed along the lateral wall of the nasal cavity with bipolar electrocautery and coblation.The vaseline gauze was used to stop bleeding, and the tumor was completely removed.Results: The intraoperative frozen section showed a capillary hemangioma.The patient was diagnosed as metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the nasal cavity and sinuses by the results of pathology and immunohistochemical staining.The postoperative recovery was uneventful and the nasal packing was removed 3 d after operation.Conclusion: Renal clear cell carcinoma transferred to the nasal cavity and sinuses is rare;under nasal endoscope, surgical resection is a good procedure to control metastasis.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To assess the effect of CPAP therapy on sleep quality and quality of life in patients with moderate or severe OSAHS.@*METHOD@#Seventy-two patients diagnosed as OSAHS by polysomnography (PSG) were assigned to receive CPAP therapy for 3 months. At baseline and three months after treatment patients underwent polysomnography (PSG). Analyze the results of PSG, sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, quality of life and the general well-being.@*RESULT@#The lowest average oxygen saturation and the average blood oxygen saturation improved significantly after CPAP therapy, and the longest sleep apnea time and AHI decreased obviously (P < 0.01). Except body pain, the other seven dimensions of SF-36 improved obviously (P < 0.01); ESS, PSQI and GWB also improved (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#For patients with moderate or severe OSAHS, CPAP therapy can obviously improve the sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, improve patients' life quality and the general well-being.
