Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment methods, and prognosis of refractory pharyngeal ulcers. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical manifestations, laryngoscopic features, laboratory tests, histopathological examinations, and treatments of 78 patients diagnosed with refractory pharyngeal ulcers. Results:There was no significant difference in the proportion of males-to-females in benign lesions, while males were significantly more prevalent in cases of malignant lesions. Seven distinct pathological types of pharyngeal ulcers were identified, with the most common being simple inflammatory ulcers（18 cases）, followed by tuberculosis（16 cases）, fungi（15 cases）, lymphoma（14 cases）, squamous cell carcinoma（10 cases）, Behcet's disease（3 cases）, and myelosarcoma（2 cases）. Conclusion:The clinical manifestations and lesions associated with refractory pharyngeal ulcers are diverse. A clear diagnosis should be established based on a systematic and comprehensive medical history, specialized examinations, and additional tests to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Laryngoscopy and histopathological examinations are essential for identifying the type of lesion and guiding appropriate treatment.

Objective:To explore of auditory-vestibular function and inner ear imaging features of patients with Meniere's disease（MD） at different clinical stages. Methods:The clinical data of 110 patients with unilateral MD who were admitted from January 2023 to March 2024 were collected, and all patients were staged according to the results of pure tone hearing threshold test, including 13 patients with stage Ⅰ, 18 cases with stage Ⅱ, 65 cases with stage Ⅲ, and 14 cases with stage Ⅳ. All patients were tested for vestibular function, including caloric tests, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials（VEMPs）, vHIT and sensory integration tests（SOT）. The sites of endolymphatic hydrops were evaluated by intravenous endotogidolinium-based MRI, twenty-seven patients completed electrocochleography. Results:①The disease course time of patients with different stages was different, and the disease course time of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ was shorter than that of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳpatients（P<0.05）. ②No statistical differences were found in clinical data or vestibular function between normal and abnormal ECochG groups（P>0.05）. ③The results of caloric tests showed that the UW% values of stage Ⅲ（45.5±14.79） and stage Ⅳ （51.57±22.44） were higher than those of stageⅠ（31.2±14.9） and stage Ⅱ（33.5±13.31）, there were statistically significant differences between stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups（P<0.05）, the total abnormal rate of cVEMP was 62.72%, there was a statistically significant difference between stageⅠand stage Ⅲ with the stage Ⅳ group（P<0.05）, the total abnormal rate of oVEMP was 71.82%, the difference between stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅳ group was statistically significant（P<0.05）. The total score of SOT comprehensive balance gradually decreased with the increase of clinical stage, and there was a significant difference between the stage Ⅰ and Ⅳ groups（H=26.08, P<0.01）, and there was a statistically significant difference in the rate of vestibular dysfunction of SOT between the two groups（χ²=6.7, P<0.05）. ④Patients with vestibular and cochlear endolymphatic hydrops, and patients with simple cochlear or vestibular had significantly differences in disease course time, clinical stages, UW% value of caloric test, abnormal rate of cVEMP and oVEMP, total SOT balance score, the rate of vestibular abnormality（P<0.01）. Among them, when the vestibular and cochlear endolymphatic hydrops are at the same time, the clinical stage of the patient is mainly stage Ⅲand Ⅳ. Conclusion:Auditory-vestibular and inner ear gadolinium-contrasted MRI examinations in clinical practice provide a supplementary reference for judging vestibular function and the type of endolymphatic hydrops.

Objective: The clinical characteristics of dural arteriovenous fistula with pulsatile tinnitus were analyzed to deepen the understanding of the disease. Methods: The clinical data of five patients complained of pulsatile tinnitus and diagnosed dural arteriovenous fistula in Henan People's Hospital from May 2013 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 3 males and 2 females, aged 27-65 years. Results: The main clinical symptoms of the five patients were continuous pulsatile tinnitus, accompanied/not accompanied by headache, memory decline, etc., with a course of three months to 20 years. They were diagnosed as dural arteriovenous fistula by digital subtraction angiography, and three cases of tinnitus disappeared and two cases of tinnitus were relieved after embolization. Conclusions The dural arteriovenous fistula is a rare and complicated disease. When the patient complain of the pulsatile tinnitus, the related etiology should be considered and managed properly.

Objective: To investigate the key issues in the diagnosis and treatment of foreign body aspiration in children with tracheobronchial variations. Methods: A retrospective study was performed for 11 pediatric patients who were treated in Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Henan Province People′s Hospital after a diagnosis of foreign body aspiration with tracheobronchial variations between January 2015 and December 2017. There were 7 males and 4 females among the 11 cases of foreign body aspiration with tracheobronchial variations, ranging between 9 months and 11 years of age. Results: Among 11 cases, the types of variationswere tracheal bronchus in 9 cases, bridging bronchus in 1 case and simple tracheal stenosis in 1 case. All of the pediatric patients were under general anesthesia, and the foreign bodies were removed by bronchoscopy successfully with no significant complications. Conclusions The possibility of tracheobronchial variations should be considered in children with recurrent wheezing and poor efficacy of regular treatment before foreign body aspiration. Removal of foreign body via rigid bronchoscope under general anesthesia is a safe and effective treatment. These children are needed to combine the situation oftracheobronchial variations and the location of foreign bodies to guide the operation, and strengthened the perioperative treatment.
