Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) has developed more than 40 years in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. TLM is especially important in the minimally invasive surgery of laryngeal carcinoma. Compared with the traditional open surgery, it is a major breakthrough, which has the significant advantages such as safety, effectiveness, low rate of local recurrence and high rate of larynx preservation. Not only can cure early laryngeal cancer, but also more and more the use of TLM in advanced supraglottic and glottic laryngeal cancer were reported. This article will review the characteristics, indications, superiority, surgical options and efficacy of the TLM in laryngeal carcinomas.

Objective To evaluate the colon cleaning efficacy and safety of prucalopride combined with polyethylene glycol electrollytes powder in bowel preparation for colonoscopy examination and treatment under colonoscopy in elderly patients.Methods Elderly patients who prepared for colonoscopy were enrolled from October 2014 to January 2015.They were divided into group A,B and C.Patients of group A only took polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (137.12 g dissolved in 2 000 mL warm water,stired until completely dissolved),patients of group B took polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (same usage as group A) combined with prucalopride 2 mg/d for one day,patients of group C took polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (same usage as group A) combined with prucalopride 2 mg/d for three days.The bowel preparation effects,especially ascending colon and ileocecal junction and cardiovascular adverse effects in all the patients and constipation patients of three groups were compared.Student t test,chisquare test and analysis of variance were performed for statistical analysis.Results A total of 124 elderly patients were divided into group A (64 cases),group B (23 cases) and group C (37 cases).Bowel preparation scores of total colon and ascending colon-ileocecal junction of group A,B,C were 8.34±0.90 and 2.56±0.56,8.96±0.21 and 2.96±0.21,8.86±0.35 and 2.86±0.35,respectively.The cleaning effects in total colon and ascending colon-ileocecal junction of group B were better than those of group A (t=5.52 and 5.15,both P＜0.05).The cleaning effects in total colon and ascending colon-ileocecal junction of groupCwere better than those of group A (t=4.69,3.65,both P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C in cleaning effects in total colon and ascending colon-ileocecal junction (both P＞0.05).There were 33,11 and 29 constipation cases in group A,B and C,respectively.The bowel preparation scores for total colon and ascending colon and ileocecal junction of group A,B,C were 7.85±0.94 and 2.24±0.56,8.91±0.30 and 2.91±0.30,8.83±0.38 and 2.83 ± 0.38,respectively.The cleaning effects in total colon and ascending colon-ileocecal junction of group B were better than those of group A (t=6.72 and 5.49,both P＜0.05).The cleaning effects in total colon and ascending colon-ileocecal junction of group C were better than those of group A (t=104.04 and 59.65,both P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between group B and group C in cleaning effects in total colon and ascending colon ileocecal junction (both P＞ 0.05).No obvious cardiovascular adverse events were observed in the patients of three groups.Conclusions The cleaning effects of prucalopride combined with polyethylene glycol electrolytes powder are good for colonoscopy examination in elderly patients,including elderly patients with constipation,especially in ascending colon and ilecocecal junction.No obvious cardiovascular adverse events are observed.

OBJECTIVE: As a subtype membrane receptor of tumor necrosis factor alpha, not much is known about the link between the soluble TNF receptor-I and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. We hypothesized that the TNF receptor might play an important role in the inflammation in patients with OSAHS, moreover this study was undertakan to investigate the effects of multimodality therapies on its periphery blood level. METHOD: Seventy-seven adults with habitual snoring and mean age of 34.9 +/- 11 years old consented to participate in the study. All participants were studied with overnight polysomnography, physical examination and a blood crew at baseline. According to the severity of OSAHS, they were categorized into three groups and one control group. Moderate and severe OSAHS groups returned for a repeat test of polysomnography and a blood crew at 3 months after the ENT surgery or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). serum levels were measured by using an immunoluminometric assay kit. RESULT: (1) Compared with control non-OSAHS group, serum sTNF-R I levels prior to treatment in OSAHS groups were significantly greater, with a mean serum levels at (742 +/- 258 & 340 +/- 102) pg/ml (P < 0.05), respectively. (2) Plasma solube tumor necrosis factor receptor-I responsed sensitively to the effect of comprehensive therapies when we compared its prior treatment levels with post ones. (3) Analysis was used to assess the associations adjusting for age, gender, BMI and weight ,a positive assosiation were found between apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and sTNF-R I (r = 0.646, P < 0.01) a negative assosiation were found between lowest nadir oxygen saturation (LSaO2) and (r = 0.522, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION ln summary, independent of age, gender, BMI and weight ,our datas suggest a relationship can be found between the the severity of OSAHS and periphery blood level of soluble TNF receptor-I. Comprehensive therapies is effective in changing sTNF-R I. sTNF-R I may be recommended as a Inflammation factor of OSAHS.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of left move and twists of I/t curve on predicting prognosis of facial paralysis.Methods181 cases with 171 Bell's palsy and 10 Hunt's syndrome were examined with I/t curve of frontal muscle and upper orbicularis. The assessing criterion of diseases course was determined according to the recovery time of frontal muscle evaluated by raising eyebrow, the recovery time of orbicularis ascertained by House-Brackmann Ⅰ, Ⅱ grades and stable phase in partial moderate and severe facial paralysis.ResultsThe recovery time of frontal muscle and orbicularis between twist and non-twist in I/t curve and in sex was not significant. The left move of I/t curve was confined to slight, moderate and severe arranges; the recovery time was not significant also. Twist rate in I/t curve was highest in moderate facial paralysis and then second in orbicularis of slight paralysis. The left move of I/t curve had a very significant relationship with recovery time of frontal muscle and orbicualris.ConclusionThe left move of I/t curve plays a very important role in determining nerve injury degrees and predicting prognosis of facial paralysis.
