OBJECTIVE To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of cholesterol granuloma of the middle ear and the choice and effect of surgical methods. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 18 cases of cholesterol granuloma of the middle ear confirmed by surgery and pathology. Different choices of surgical methods were made according to the lesion extension of this disease. RESULTS All patients were followed up for at least 6 months. Two cases with eustachian tube obstruction had ventilation tube inserted for a long time. One case who had recurrence and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the middle ear was transferred to oncology department for further treatment. Post-operative dry ears were obtained in the other cases whose pure tone thresholds were improved to different degrees. CONCLUSION Etiology of cholesterol granuloma of middle ear remains controversial. It's supposed to result from the bleeding, occlusion of ventilation and disturbance of drainage of the air cavity because of the middle ear inflammation, and bone marrow exposure. The middle ear and mastoid surgery can completely remove the disease tissues, and establish ventilation system of mastoid-tympani-eustachian, which is the key point of the middle ear surgery.

Objective To explore the role of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)in the mechanism of liver fibrosis.Methods Liver fibrosis models of rats were made by subcutaneously injecting with CCl4.On the other hand,32 human liver cirrhosis and 12 normal liver tissues were collected too.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of CTGF in these tissues.Results The expression of CTGF in rats after injection with CCl4 was found mainly in hepatic stellate cells(HSC) and hepatocytes are all significantly higher than those in normal rats.Moreover,it presents with progressive tendency for the expression of CTGF in rats respectively at 1st,4th and 8th week after injection of CCl4.The same tendency was found in human normal and fibrotic liver tissues(P

AIM: To observe the changes in infiltrating macrophages (M?)and extracellular matrix (ECM) in the kidney in the progressive course of nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN). METHODS: NTN model was established with rabbit-anti-rat nephrotoxic serum. On day 3, 7, 15, 30 and 90, renal biopsies were performed. Renal histology was checked under light microscopy with HE and Masson's trichrome staining sections. M?, fibronectin (FN), type Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagen were examined with immunohistochemistry ABC method. RESULTS: Infiltration of M? appeared on day 3 of NTN and preceded changes of FN and collagen. On day 15 of NTN, all nephritic animals had significant proteinuria, increased serum creatinine, infiltration of M? and deposit of entracellular matrix. On day 90 of NTN, seven nephritic animals improved significantly, while other five developed renal scarring with diffuse infiltration of M? which positively paralleled to renal function and deposit of FN, type Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagen. CONCLUSION: M? infiltrating into renal tissue enhances deposit of ECM and therefore plays important roles in progression or improvement of NTN.
