OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors of intracranial infection after transnasal endoscopic crannialbase approach. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of 346 patients of ransnasal endoscopic crannialbase approach, logistic regression analysis of the factors was carried out. RESULT: The total number of cases of postoperative infections were 19 cases in 346 patients, the infection rate was 5.49%. The cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea , the restitution of skull base, the history of crannialbase approach, the history of radiotherapy and diabetes were infection fators after transnasal endoscopic diabetes (P < 0.05), while sex,age,operative approach,the use of artificial material,longer application of antibiotics before or after operation,and the history of chemotherapy had no obvious effects (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Intracranial infection after transnasal endoscopic the use of artificial material was affected by many factors. Much attention should be paid for the intracranial infection prevention.

As a common and frequently-occurring disease,glenohumeral instability is become one of disease which restrict upper limb activity. The diagnosis of this disease is easy, but it is very difficult to assess the degree of periarticular soft tissue injuries. With the development of magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy, MRA become the gold standard for evaluation of glenoid labrum, joint capsule and ligaments injury. The traditional manual reduction is a fast, simple method, but often can cause adverse consequences,such as rotator cuff tear,ligament relaxation,and habitual dislocation. Open operation can rebuild stability of joint,but with many new treatment methods,especially the arthroscopic reconstruction has gradually replaced the open operation, and become the mainstream trend, but for the long-term effect of capsular tightening surgery, rotator cuff gap closure is not clear,it is need further follow-up observation.

Acetylation regulated by histone deacetylases (HDAC) has a broad influence on plenty of physiological processes and regulation of malignant tumor.HDAC inhibitors can promote tumor cell apoptosis and have little effect on normal cells,so they have been developed a new kind of anti-tumor agent,and part of them have entered clinical trials.Vorinostat and romidepsin have been approved by FDA for treating cutaneous T cell lymphoma patients with progressive,persistent and recurrent disease.Studies of the molecular mechanisms of the HDAC inhibitors will contribute to the further clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the causes, clinical manifestation and treatment principles of frontal sinus tract after the frontal approach craniotomy. METHOD: The clinic data of 13 patients with frontal skin sinus tract after the frontal approach craniotomy were retrospectively analyzed. All of them were described in the clinical record to have undergone frontal sinus mucosa pushing down or shaving and bone wax filling in the frontal sinus during the surgery, of whom 3 cases had history of frontal abscess incision drainage. All patients were performed endoscopic frontal sinus surgery and forehead skin sinus tract excision and suture. RESULT: All of the patients successfully recovered after one-stage operation, and the frontal skin sinus tract was healed. CONCLUSION The frontal approach craniotomy with postoperative frontal sinus tract was related with the improper use of bone wax tamponade and sealing of frontal sinus. The treatment principles were to remove bone wax, remove inflammatory granulation tissue around the sinus tract, and to open frontal sinus and promote frontal sinus drainage.

OBJECTIVE: To Summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, and to explore the related factors of recurrence. METHOD: Retrospective- ly analyze the clinical data of 58 patients of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea from July 2002 to July 2012, combined with its clinical characteristics, and statistically analyze the related recurrence factors. RESULT: Fifty-eight cases were accepted the nasal endoscopic repairment of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrheak, follow-up 3 years, 20 cases (34.5%) recurred, 1 case recurred in half a year after operation. In the first year, there were 10 cases recurred. In the second year there were 9 cases recurred, and 1 case recurred in the third year. Through multiariable analysis it was found that higher BMI, empty sella and skull base bone defect were the independent risk factors influencing the recurrence of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The recurrence rate of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is high, needing long-term follow-up. Higher BMI, empty sella, skull base bone defect are independent risk factors of recurrence of the disease, and the treatment should be individualized.

We present a rare case report of foreign body of the nasal apex in a 22-year man who were hospitalized because of a bit of metal rebounded. There was slight bleeding at wound site with a feeling of pain and swelling. On physical examination, the apex lied in the median position with a bleeding cut about 3 millimeter in length. There was no visible stump on the cut or rupture in the nasal vestibular. Computed tomographic scan showed the abnormal high-density shadow in the nasal apex while the foreign body was located in the subcutaneous tissue of the antero-upper part of septal cartilage. The admitting diagnosis was foreign body in nasal apex. Endoscopic surgery was adopted to remove the foreign body.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinical characteristics and treatments of patients with malignant transformation of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), and to explore the factors influencing the prognosis of malignant SNIP. METHOD: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 35 patients with malignant SNIP. The prognosis affected by age, gender, pathogenetic locations, pathology, clinical stages and treatments were analysed using Kaplan Meier, Log rank and Cox method. RESULT: In our research, 5 years survival rate was 68.6% in malignant SNIP. There were 3 factors effecting the 5 years survival rate of malignant SNIP: clinical staging, histopathological features and treatments while gender, age, disease location, and percentage of the malignant cell in the entire tumor tissue had no effect on overall survival rate. Clinical staging and treatment were the independent factors that influenced the prognosis of malignant SNIP (P value was 0.019 and 0.006). CONCLUSION Risk factors that independently influence the survival of patients with malignant SNIP were the clinical staging and treatment. The degree of histo pathological features can be the secondary indicator to judge the prognosis of malignant SNIP. Endoscopic surgery or comprehensive therapy performed on patients properly is therapeutically effective.
