Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a rare benign tumor in the pharynx. We presented a case with a huge PA in the pharynx. MRI displayed oropharyngeal mass, considering benign tumor. Preoperative fine-needle aspiration and cytology biopsy were important to confirm the diagnosis of PA preliminary. Extracapsular complete dissection for PA was performed under general anesthesia with tracheotomy subsequently. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of PA. The patient was discharged a week after operation and no recurrence was found in the following 8 months.

[Objective]To discuss the basic principles and methods of surgical protocols in treating multilevel cervical disc herniation.[Method]The surgical protocols patients underwent operation based on patient's changes in radiology.Protocols varied from anterior approach discectomy,partial corpectomy with bone grafting and plate fixing;titanium mesh+plate;titanium mesh+plate in major segment and decompression with trepan+cage in secondary segment;combined anterior and posterior surgical procedure.[Result]Totally 96 cases of cervical spondylosis in different types were observed.After average 32 months of follow-up,an overall excellent and good rate in 90% of the cases was obtained.[Conclusion]To choose the appropriate surgical protocol for different multilevel cervical disc herniaion or degenerative myelopathy patients,every treatment should rely on patient's symptoms and changes in radiology.We must check out which vertebra is major segment or secondary segment,generalized or localized,with or without developmental stenosis of cervical spinal canal.Most patients can achieve satisfied prognosis by anterior approach decompression with bone grafting and plate fixing.Intervertebral bone grafting and plate fixing is preferred to single level degenerative.Anterior decompression with approach discectomy,partial corpectomy with bone grafting and plate fixing is preferred to 2 or 3 level degenerative.Combined anterior and posterior surgical procedure is the best method to treat generalized degenerative or obvious stenosis of cervical spinal canal,and continuous type OPLL.In conclusion,the key to excellent prognosis of cervical spondylosis is choosing the right operation for the right patient.

This study was aimed to observe the effect of Tao-He Cheng-Qi Decoction (THCQD) on tissue injury of different organs among rats with sepsis. A total of 100 Kunming male SD rats of clean grade were randomly divided into five groups, which were the normal control group, model 6 h control group, model 12 h control group, THCQD 6 h group and THCQD 12 h group. The normal control group received no treatment. The classic CLP method was ap-plied in the establishment of sepsis rat model in other groups. Intragastric administration of saline 1 ml/100 g (weight) was given to each rat in the model group every day. Intragastric administration of THCQD 1 ml/100 g (weight) was given to each rat in the THCQD group every day. The model was established after 7 days. Tissue speci-mens of lung, heart, kidney, liver, and small intestine were collected at 6 h and 12 h after modeling, respectively. Pathomorphological changes of each group were observed by light microscopy and electron microscope. The results showed that compared with the model group at the same time point, pathomorphological changes of tissues of the lung, heart, kidney in THCQD group were not significant. However, pathomorphology of tissues of the liver and small intestine changed significantly in the THCQD 12h group. And there were statistical differences (P < 0.05) between two groups in the score of pathomorphology. It was concluded that THCQD had protective effect on tissues of the liv-er and small intestine among rats with sepsis. However, the mechanism is not clear and requires further research.
