OBJECTIVE To identify the clinical risk factors related to the increasing likelihood of surgical drainage and the medical therapy failure in deep space neck abscess. METHODS The clinical data of 111 consecutive patients from January 2009 to June 2016 with deep space neck abscess were reviewed retrospectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the clinical risk factors by stepwise forward regression. RESULTS All patients had successful resolution of their infections by medical therapy and(or) surgical drainage. At the level of α=0.05, dyspnea was the risk factor of increasing likelihood of surgical drainage (β=3.001, OR=20.099); the maximum dimension of abscess>2.0 cm was not only the risk factor of increasing likelihood of surgical drainage(β=2.396, OR=10.979), but also that of medical therapy failure(β =4.618, OR=101.313). Age, sex, white blood cell count at presentation, fever, diabetes, neck swelling, and multiple space abscess of neck did not increase the risk of surgical treatment (P>0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION Active preoperative preparation and surgical intervention should be used with those who have dyspnea and the maximum dimension of abscess >2.0 cm as soon as possible. However, those who without dyspnea and abscess size less than or equal to 2.0 cm may be recovered without incision and drainage of operation by only sufficient and effective intravenous antibiotics treatment under close guarded surveillance.

OBJECTIVE:
In order to investigate the interaction between the cytokines and keratinocyte and determine the role of cytokines in hyperproliferative of chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma, we observe the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and its receptor (KGFR) in middle ear cholesteatoma.
METHOD:
We examined the expression of MMP9, VEGF, KGF, KGFR and Ki-67 by immunohistochemistry in 50 specimens from chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma and 15 specimens from the normal skin of external auditory meatus. Ki-67 as an evaluation of cholesteatoma proliferation markers were used to detect the keratinocyte proliferative activity.
RESULT:
(1) The expression of VEGF and MMP9 in cholesteatoma specimens was higher than normal skin, and the difference was statistically significant (t = 4.914, P < 0.01; t = 3.284, P < 0.01). (2) The expression of KGF and KGFR in middle ear tissues was higher than normal skin, and the difference was statistically significant (t = 4.814, P < 0.01; t = 3.104, P < 0.01); The expression of KGF and KGFR increased, and the expression of Ki-67 also correspondly increased in the cholesteatoma. (3) In the tissue MMP9 and VEGF were positive. Mean optical density increased as well. KGF expression also increased accordingly.
CONCLUSION
MMP9, VEGF, KGF and KGFR proteins played an important role in hyperproliferation of cholesteatoma tissues. VEGF, MMP9 and KGF had a synergistic effect in hyperproliferation of cholesteatoma tissues.

AIM:Atherosclerotic calcification is highly linked with plaque instability and cardiovascular events .Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase ( AMPK) has been involved in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular disease .The contributions of AMPKαsubunits to the development of atherosclerotic calcification in vivo remained unknown .We hypothesized that AMPKαsubunits may play a role in the development of atherosclerotic calcification .METHODS: Atherosclerotic calcification was generated by 24-week fed of western diet in ApoE-/-background mice .Calcification was evaluated in aortic roots and innominate arteries of ApoE-/-mice or in mice with dual deficiencies of ApoE and AMPKαsubunits globally ( AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 ) , or vascular smooth muscle cell ( VSMC)-specific or macrophage-specific knockout of AMPKα1 with atherosclerotic calcification pone diet . The mechanism of AMPKα1 in regulating Runx2 was further explored in human aortic VSMC .RESULTS: Ablation of AMPKα1 but not AMPKα2 in ApoE-/-background promoted atherosclerotic calcification with increased Runt -related transcription factor ( Runx2 ) expression in VSMC compared with ApoE-/-mice.Conversely, chronic administration of metformin, which activated AMPK, markedly reduced ath-erosclerotic calcification and Runx2 expression in ApoE-/-mice but had less effects in ApoE-/-/AMPKα1 -/-mice.Furthermore, VSMC-but not macrophage-specific deficiency of AMPKα1 in ApoE-/-background promoted atherosclerotic calcification in vivo com-pared with the controls .AMPKα1 silencing in human aortic VSMC prevented Runx 2 from proteasome degradation to trigger osteoblastic differentiation of VSMC .Conversely , activation of AMPK led to Runx 2 instability by inducing its small ubiquitin-like modifier modifi-cation (SUMOylation).Protein inhibitor of activated STAT-1 (PIAS1), the SUMO E3-ligase of Runx2, was directly phosphorylated by
AMPKα1 at serine 510, to enhance its SUMO E3-ligase activity.Ablation of PIAS1 serine 510 phosphorylation inhibited metformin-in-duced Runx2 SUMOylation, and subsequently prevented the effect of metformin on reducing oxLDL-triggered Runx2 expression in hu-man aortic VSMC.CONCLUSION:Deficiency of AMPKα1 in VSMC increases Runx2 expression and promotes atherosclerotic calcifi-cation in vivo.AMPKα1 phosphorylates PIAS1 to enhance Runx2 SUMOyalation and subsequent degradation .
9.The morphological study of eroded auditory ossicles by cholesteatoma.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2007;21(1):10-12
OBJECTIVE:
To observe the morphology of eroded auditory ossicles obtained in middle ear surgery for cholesteatoma and to investigate the mechanism of bone erosion in cholesteatoma.
METHOD:
The morphology of eroded auditory ossicles in 8 cholesteatoma cases and 2 normal cases were observed with light microscopy. The ultrastructure of eroded auditory ossicles in 5 cholesteatoma cases and the ultrastructure of control bones in external ear canal of 2 cases were observed and compared with transmission electron microscopy.
RESULT:
Osteomyelitis and multinucleate osteoclasts with ruffled borders were observed in the eroded auditory ossicles of cholesteatoma. Intramembranous and endochondral ossification were both observed. The obvious bone destruction and remodeling were observed consistently.
CONCLUSION
Osteoclasts and Osteomyelitis are both responsible for bone destruction in cholesteatoma. Intramembranous and endochondral ossification may co-participate in bone remodeling. Osteogenesis is also a basic pathologic phenomena in cholesteatoma. The obvious bone destruction and remodeling can coexist in cholesteatoma cases.

10.The expression of receptor activator nuclear factor-kappaB ligand and osteoprotegerin in cholesteatoma.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2008;22(7):293-295
OBJECTIVE:
To observe the expression of receptor activator nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in cholesteatoma and to determine their roles in the destruction of bone. To observe the role of osteoclasts in bone destruction.
METHOD:
Immunohistochemical technique and computer image analysis were used to examine the expression of RANKL and OPG in 27 cholesteatoma and 11 normal tissue respectively.
RESULT:
RANKL was expressed mainly in promatrix cells, including fibroblasts and foam cells. OPG was expressed both in epithelium and promatrix cells. The results of the computer image quantitative analysis showed that the mean optical density of RANKL and the ratio of RANKL/OPG in cholesteatoma were higher than that in normal skin epithelial tissue (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the mean optical density of OPG in cholesteatoma and that in normal skin epithelial tissue (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
The overexpression of RANKL and the increased ratio of RANKL/OPG in cholesteatoma are associated with the destruction of bone. Osteoclasts is possible mediator of osteolysis.
