Objective To analyze the medical and audiological features of trauma induced stapes fracture ,and to summarize the key diagnostic points and to observe the effects of surgical treatment .Methods Five patients with trauma induced stapes fracture confirmed by the surgical exploration from January 1995 to October 2013 were retro_spectively reviewed .Ossicular chain reconstruction was performed on each patient .The preoperative and postopera_tive pure-tone thresholds were compared to judge the effects of surgical treatment .ResuIts The surgical explora_tion revealed 4 cases of stapes feet fracture ,1 case of stapes neck fracture with temporal bone fracture and peripheral paralysis of the facial nerve .Different types of ossicular reconstruction were performed according to the exploration results:2 cases with autogenous stapes remodeling ,1 case with allogenous stapes remodeling ,1 case with bone piece of external acoustic meatus ,and 1 case with artificial auditory ossicle(TORP) implanting .Additionally ,the case of peripheral paralysis of the facial nerve received facial nerve decompression .After the operation ,5 patients felt that their hearing was improved .The mean postoperative pure-tone threshold was 30 .7 dB HL ,and the mean ABG(air-bone-gap) was 18 dB HL while the mean preoperative pure-tone threshold was 61 dB HL(t=6 .725 ,P<0 .05) and the mean ABG was 38 .7 dB HL(t=3 .616 ,P<0 .05) .The facial nerve functions of the case with facial paralysis recovered to House-Brackmann Grade I three months after receiving facial nerve decompression .ConcIu_sion Stapes fractures are rare .Being different from the general conductive hearing loss ,patients with stapes fracture usu_ally have the acoustic stapedius reflex .Through ossicular reconstruction ,we can yield a satisfying hearing recovery .

Objective To summarize and analyze the pathogenesis ,methods of hearing reconstruction and curative effect of mixed hearing loss .Methods Patients with mixed hearing loss who underwent hearing reconstruc-tion from Jan 2009 to Dec 2011 in the ENT department of PLA General hospital were reviewed retrospectively .Af-ter the operation ,air conduction (AC) ,bone conduction (BC) ,air-bone gap (ABG) at main frequencies and audi-ometry changes were analyzed .Results Among 32 cases ,15 cases were chronic otitis media ,13 cases otosclerosis , 2 cases Van der Hoeve ,and 2 cases congenital middle ear malformations .There were 26 cases with significantly im-proved hearing after surgery ,and the effective rate was 81 .25% .AC showed great improvement at 0 .25~4 kHz (P<0 .05) while there was no change at 8 kHz (P>0 .05) .BC showed improvements at 1 and 2 kHz and improved significantly only at 2 kHz .After operation ,pure tone audiometry at AC and BC separately improved 24 .94 ± 8 .15 dB and 5 .90 ± 7 .96 dB;ABG narrowed down to 19 .04 ± 11 .06 dB .Conclusion Mixed hearing losses are mostly seen in chronic otitis media and tympanosclerosis .After auditory rehabilitation ,patients can experience improved hearing .

Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of Modified Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction in the treatment of stable angina pectoris(SAP)with internal resistance of phlegm and turbidity and its effect on gut microbiota.Methods The clinical data of 72 cases of SAP patients with phlegm turbidity and internal resistance type in our hospital were selected for prospective study,sorted according to the order of admission,and divided into control group and observer by random number table method,with 36 cases in each group.The control group was given standardized western medicine treatment,and the observation group was given the addition of Modified Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy and gut microbiota composition of the two groups of patients were compared.Results After treatment,the clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in the ECG efficacy between the two groups(P>0.05).Based on 16S rDNA technology,at the phylum and genus levels,there was no difference in the abundance of Bacteroidota,Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium(P>0.05).After treatment,the abundance of Bacteroidota in the observation group increased more significantly than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Modified Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction can effectively improve the clinical efficacy of SAP patients with phlegm-turbid internal resistance by regulating gut microbiota,which provides new inspiration for the further development of Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Kuanxiong aerosol in the treatment of coronary heart disease angina ,and to provide evidence-based reference for climical drug use . METHODS :Retrieved from Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,CKNI,Wanfang data ,VIP,and CBM ,randomized controlled trials (RCTs)about Kuanxiong aerosol (trial group )versus nitroglycerin (control group )in the treatment of coronary heart disease angina were collected during the inception to Mar. 20th,2020. After literature screening and data extraction ,quality assessment was performed using the bias risk assessment tool recommended by the Cochrane System Evaluator Manual 5.1.0. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. Sensitivity analysis was conducted for the stability of the result ,and trial sequential analysis (TSA)was performed by using TSA 0.9 software. RESULTS :A total of 11 RCTs were included ,with a total of 1 847 cases. Meta-analysis showed that improvement rate of angina pectoris (within 3 min)[RR=1.11,95%CI(1.02,1.22),P=0.02] and total response rate of angina pectoris (within 5 min)[RR=1.04,95% CI(1.01,1.07),P=0.01] in trial group were significantly higher than control group;the incidence of ADR [RR=0.44,95%CI(0.35,0.57),P<0.000 01] in trial group was significantly lower than control group. There was no statistical significance in total response rate of ECG [RR=1.02,95%CI(0.97,1.09),P=0.42] or the level of NO after treatment [SMD =-0.08,95%CI(-0.61,0.45),P=0.76] between 2 groups. The results of sensitiv ity analysis and TSA showed that the efficacy evidence of Kuanxiong aerosol in the treatment of coronary heart disease pectoris was not accurate ,but the evidence of safety was accurate. CONCLUSIONS :Kuanxiong aerosol can improve the efficacy in patients with coronary heart disease angina ,and the safety is better ,but the conclusions of efficacy needs to be further confirmed by enlarging sample size.

Objective:
To investigate the choice of surgical approach of petrous bone cholesteatoma (PBC)and surgical outcomes.
Methods:
A retrospective study was performed on 90 patients diagnosed and treated for PBC from January 2000 to December 2014 by the Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital otolaryngologists. According to Sanna′s classification, 40 out of the 90 cases were supralabyrinthine, five infralabyrinthine, four infralabyrinthine-apical, 25 massive and 16 apical. Five cases underwent transmastoid and retrolabyrinthine approach, translabyrinthine approach was performed on six patients, 19 cases underwent subtotal petrosectomy, seven cases underwent transotic approach, 41 cases underwent middle fossa approach, combined transmastoid/middle fossa approach was performed on 11 cases, translabyrinthine and sphenoid sinus approach were performed on one case. Supralabyrinthine cases mainly applied middle fossa approach (77.5%, 31/40) and combined transmastoid and middle-fossa approach(20.0%, 8/40). Combined transmastoid-retrolabyrinthine approach were applied for all the infralabyrinthine cases (100.0%, 5/5). Infralabyrinthine-apical cases mainly applied subtotal petrosectomy (75.0%, 3/4). Massive cases mainly applied subtotal petrosectomy (60.0%, 15/25), transcochlear approach (20.0%, 5/25), and translabyrinthine approach (16.0%, 4/25). Apical cases mainly applied middle fossa approach (62.5%, 10/16).
Results:
Ninty percent (18/20) of the patients who had preoperative grade Ⅰ facial nerve function maintained in the postoperative period. Out of 90 cases, only 11 cases received open cavity, and the rest cases received cavityobliteration. There were three cases of recurrence, four cases of cavity infection, three cases of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and one case of epidural hematoma, who all received surgeries.
Conclusions
Sanna′s classification should be used to classify different kinds of PBC cases, choose the best surgical approach for different cases, and preserve or repair facial function during removal of PBC, and thus reduce recurrence and complications.
