OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the expression level of endotoxin and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R)and the occurrence of suppurative otitis media in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy.METHODS Seventy-nine nasopharyngeal cancer patients who received radiotherapy in Nanyang Downtown Hospital between January 2022 and July 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and they were followed up for a period of 1 year,and then grouped according to the occurrence of suppurative otitis media during the follow-up period,i.e.,21 cases in the occurringgroup and 58 cases in the non-occurring group,and the baseline data of patients in the two groups were compared,and the levels of endotoxin and sIL-2R were detected at the end of radiotherapy and analyze the relationship between endotoxin,sIL-2R and the occurrence of purulent otitis media after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.RESULTS A total of 21 cases(26.58%)of 79 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients developed suppurative otitis media after radiotherapy.Compared with the non-occurrence group,the radiotherapy time,endotoxin,sIL-2R,TNM stage Ⅲ,Eustachian tube involvement,nasal cavity structural abnormality,inflammatory reaction,and palatal sail tensor atrophy degree≥30%were high in the occurrence group,and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The results of logistic multifactorial analysis showed that inflammatory reaction,endotoxin,abnormal nasal structure,TNM stage(Ⅲ),sIL-2R,Eustachian tube involvement,duration of radiotherapy,and degree of atrophy of palatofacial tensor atrophy≥30%were all risk factors for suppurative otitis media.The results of Spearman's rank correlation analysis showed that endotoxin and sIL-2R were positively correlated with the occurrence of septic otitis media(r=0.493,0.516,P<0.001).Analysis using the ROC curve showed that:endotoxin:AUC value:0.657,sensitivity:61.90%,specificity:72.41%,accuracy:69.62%,95%CI=0.523-0.791;sIL-2R:AUC value:0.697,sensitivity:71.43%,specificity:67.24%,accuracy:68.35%,95%CI=0.566-0.829;combined test:AUC value:0.804,sensitivity:95.24%,specificity:65.52%,accuracy:73.42%,95%CI=0.705-0.903,the best value of the two combined tests.CONCLUSION The elevated levels of endotoxin and sIL-2R in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy may be associated with suppurative otitis media.

Objective This study aims to explore the efficacy and complication rates of the transcranial approach(TCA)and extended endoscopic endonasal approach(EEEA)for the treatment of craniopharyngiomas based on the QST classification,providing a scientific reference for clinical decision-making on surgical approach.Methods A total of 151 patients who underwent craniopharyngioma surgery at our center from January 2018 to December 2023 were enrolled.The patients were categorized into Q-CP(suprasellar type),S-CP(infundibular type),and T-CP(tuberal type)according to the QST classification.Systematic collection and analysis were performed on the outcomes of TCA and EEEA treatments,respectively.The differences in effectiveness between the two approaches were evaluated based on the QST classification.Results The improvement rate of visual symptoms was overall higher in the EEEA group than in the TCA group(59.1%vs.36.5%,P=0.006),and the visual deterioration rate was lower(3.0%vs.14.1%,P=0.006).However,the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage was higher in the EEEA group(15.2%vs.3.5%,χ2=4.986,P=0.026).The incidence of postoperative seizures(8.2%vs.0,P=0.019),brain contusions(10.6%vs.0,P=0.005),and subdural hematoma(9.4%vs.0%,P=0.01)was higher in the TCA group.For patients with Q-CP type,the EEEA group had a higher rate of total tumor resection(92.9%vs.65.2%,P=0.025)and a lower recurrence rate(3.6%vs.21.7%,P=0.047),with shorter hospital stays and lower postoperative costs.The TCA group had higher intraoperative blood loss in this type(300 mL vs.200 mL,Z=-2.261,P=0.024).For S-CP type patients,the EEEA group showed a higher rate of total tumor resection(91.3%vs.74.2%)and a lower recurrence rate(0 vs.12.9%,P=0.031),with lower postoperative hospital costs.In T-CP type,due to the deeper location,EEEA showed limitations in protecting hypothalamic function and the TCA group had a better postoperative hypothalamic function score(P=0.035).Conclusion Based on QST classification,EEEA has advantages in Q-CP and S-CP types and is recommended as the preferred surgical procedure;In the T-CP type,TCA surgery is more helpful in protecting hypothalamic function.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the management of early gastrointestinal lesions.Methods:Upon endoscopic identification of the lesion, normal saline is injected into the submucosa to establish a fluid cushion, which elevates the lesion's mucosa. Methylene blue may also be applied to improve visualization of the relationship between the submucosa and muscular layer. A snare with a tip diameter of 2-3 mm is utilized to circumferentially incise the mucosal layer at the lesion's edge, forming a circular groove. The snare is anchored within this groove, allowing for complete resection of the lesion in a single step. The procedure involves a slow and alternating technique of electrosurgical cutting and coagulation to minimize bleeding risks, while upward tension on the snare during cutting reduces perforation risks. Direct coagulation of exposed blood vessels is performed using the snare tip, and hemostatic clips are applied to larger defects; nylon sutures may be utilized for substantial wounds.Results:Between June 2015 and April 2024, modified EMR was performed on 65 patients with early gastrointestinal lesions at Dongguan Children's Hospital, Guangdong Medical University. The mean operative time was (15.2 ± 3.1) minutes, with a complete resection rate of 100% and negative margins confirmed. Postoperative complications included one case each of delayed bleeding and electrosurgical syndrome. The average cost of consumables was (1887.2±187.6) yuan. Follow-up colonoscopies at 3 and 6 months postoperatively indicated no recurrences.Conclusions:Modified EMR demonstrates a short operative time, high safety and efficacy, and reduced material costs in the treatment of early gastrointestinal mucosal lesions.

The dental operative microscope has been widely employed in the field of dentistry, particularly in endodontics and operative dentistry, resulting in significant advancements in the effectiveness of root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, and dental restoration. However, the improper use of this microscope continues to be common in clinical settings, primarily due to operators' insufficient understanding and proficiency in both the features and established operating procedures of this equipment. In October 2019, Professor Jingping Liang, Vice Chairman of the Society of Cariology and Endodontology, Chinese Stomatological Association, organized a consensus meeting with Chinese experts in endodontics and operative dentistry. The objective of this meeting was to establish a standard operation procedure for the dental operative microscope. Subsequently, a consensus was reached and officially issued. Over the span of about four years, the content of this consensus has been further developed and improved through practical experience.
