The present paper aims to investigate whether or not vasculogenic mimicry (VM) exists in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), and to elucidate its relationship to microvessel density (MVD), galectin-3 (Gal-3) expressionb and clinicopathological factors of patients with LSCC. VM, score of MVD and expression of Gal-3 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry and histochemistry in 83 specimens of LSCC tissue and 20 specimens of normal laryngeal tissue. The positive rate of VM in normal laryngeal tissues was 0%, and was 33.7% in LSCC tissues. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). VM or MVD was significantly related to differentiation, pTNM stages and lymph node metastasis of LSCC (P<0.05), but not to age, gender and tumor site (P>0.05). And there was a positive correlation between every two of VM, score of MVD, and Gal-3 protein (P<0.05). The results suggest that expression of Gal-3 protein may be related to the initiation, angiogenesis and VM formation in LSCC; And VM, angiogenesis and Gal-3 protein may be involved in the development, invasion and metastasis of LSCC.
【摘要】 目的 比較靶控誘導后Shikani喉鏡、Macintosh直接喉鏡和GlideScope?視頻喉鏡插管時的應激反應。 方法 選取2008年12月-2009年2月期間ASA Ⅰ~Ⅱ級、擬于全身麻醉下行擇期顱內占位病變切除術的患者30例，隨機分為Shikani喉鏡組（S組）、Macintosh直接喉鏡組（M組）與GlideScope?視頻喉鏡組（G組）。靶控異丙酚和瑞芬太尼誘導，分別采用上述3種喉鏡行經口氣管插管。記錄患者的心率、血壓，計算心率收縮壓乘積（RPP）。 結果 3組插管時間、心率、血壓和RPP比較差異無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。S組和M組插管后心率、血壓及RPP均較插管前顯著升高（Plt;0.05），而G組插管后的心率、60~300 s時的收縮壓、平均動脈壓和RPP與插管前比較，差異無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。 結論 3種喉鏡進行經口氣管插管時具有相似的血流動力學反應，GlideScope?視頻喉鏡更有利于循環穩定。【Abstract】 Objective To compare the hemodynamic responses of orotracheal intubations with GlideScope? videolaryngoscope, Macintosh direct laryngoscope, and Shikani optical stylet after target-controlled-infusion (TCI). Methods Thirty patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ, scheduled for elective intracranial mass lesion surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated equally to Shikani optical stylet group (group S) Macintosh laryngoscope group (group M), and GlideScope? videolaryngoscope group (group G). After the patients became unconscious by TCI induction of propofpol and remifentanil, the endotracheal intubation were carried out through above three laryngoscope. The heart rate (HR), blood pressure and rate pressure product (RPP) were recorded. Results The differences of intubation time, HR, blood pressure and RPP in three groups were not statistically significant (Pgt;0.05). After intubation, the HR, blood pressure and RPP of group S and M were obviously higher than those before intubation (Plt;0.05); while there was no obvious change on the HR, systolic pressure at 60-300 s, mean arterial pressure and RPP of group G compared before intubation (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions There are similar hemodynamic responses in the three laryngoscope. GlideScope? is more advantageous to cycle stability.
Objective To explore the protection of the structure and function around the upper pole of the thyroid gland by endoscopic thyroidectomy combined with nerve detection through the gasless unilateral axillary approach. Methods From January 2019 to June 2020, 48 thyroid patients who underwent the gasless unilateral axillary approach combined with the endoscopy and nerve detection technology in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital were reviewed as the endoscopic group, and 53 thyroid patients underwent open surgery combined with the endoscopy and nerve detection technology as the open group. The protection of the functional structure of the suprathyroid pole were compared. Results In terms of operation time, the endoscopic group was longer than that of the open group (67.5 min vs. 54.1 min, P=0.001). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative hospital stay and blood loss (P>0.05). Forty-seven patients with the endoscopic thyroid surgery through the gasless unilateral axillary approach effectively detected the superior laryngeal nerve (47/48, 97.9%), which was higher than that of the open group (40/53, 75.5%), P=0.003, and the exposure rate of hypoglossal nerve descending branch in the endoscopic group was also higher [31.3% (15/48) vs. 3.8% (2/53), P=0.001]. In the endoscopic group, the superior parathyroid gland was kept in situ during the operation, and there was no change of voice and cough after the operation. In the open group, there were 2 cases of autologous transplantation of the upper pole parathyroid gland, 2 patients had voice changes, and 1 case had partial upper pole banded muscle incision. There was no significant difference in the incidence of nerve injury complications, the rate of autologous transplantation of the upper pole parathyroid gland and the rate of anterior cervical banded muscle injury between the two groups (P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in the levels of parathyroid hormone, blood calcium, blood magnesium and blood phosphorus between the two groups before/after operation (P>0.05). Conclusion During the endoscopic thyroidectomy through the gasless unilateral axillary approach, the nerve monitoring technology is combined with the exploration and protection of the superior laryngeal nerve on the surface of the medial cricothyroid muscle of the upper pole of the thyroid, and the fine capsule anatomy technology is used to protect the superior parathyroid gland in situ, which can more effectively expose the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. It is conducive to the protection of the structures around the upper pole.
The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was used to repair laryngopharyngeal and esophageal defect following radical excision of pharyngeal and inferior laryngeal carcinomas in 3 cases. The results were susscessful. The patients were follwedup for 6 months to 3 years. The deglutition functions were all reestablished, the general nutritional conditions were improved, and no recurrence or distant metastasis was observed. The advantages of this operative procedure were discussed.
ObjectiveTo explore the related factors and nursing countermeasures for psychonosema in postoperative laryngeal cancer patients.
MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of eight patients who accepted laryngectomy and developed psychonosema from January 2008 to April 2013. The related factors for psychonosema in these patients were analyzed and nursing countermeasures were summarized.
ResultsEight patients had different degree of psychonosema, and it was correlated with psychological factors, various channels of undesirable stimulation, sleep disorders, drug and other factors. After treatment and careful nursing, within three to seven days, all patients' abnormal mental symptoms were alleviated, and all of them were discharged.
ConclusionThere are many factors which can cause psychonosema after laryngectomy for laryngeal carcinoma. Medical staff should try to reduce or avoid inducing factors. Once it happens, medical staff should carry out psychiatric treatment in time to avoid accidents and promote the rehabilitation of patients.
Objective To compare the difference of preparing the acellular larynx scaffold between perfusion method and immersion method, and find better way to make acellular larynx scaffold for tissue engineering. Methods Twenty 6-month-old male New Zealand rabbits, weighing 2.0-2.5 kg, were divided into perfusion group (n=10) and immersion group (n=10) at random. All the larynxes were excised in a sterile fashion. The acellular larynx scaffold was obtained by perfusionmethod and immersion method respectively, and then comparative examinations were performed by the macroscopicview, histological view, scanning electron microscope (SEM), cartilage vital ity assay and toluidine blue staining. ResultsMacroscopic view showed that the larynxes perfused by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) became transparent after 2 hoursof perfusion, but the larynxes immersed by SDS over 16 hours still appeared pink-white. Histology and SEM indicated thatcompared with immersion group, perfusion group showed better acellular effect, more ventages and collagen fibers wereretained, no intact cell or nuclei remained in acellular matrix and chondrocytes were still survival. The porosity was 85.39% ± 3.16% in perfusion group and 34.72% ± 4.51% in immersion group, showing significant difference (P lt; 0.01). The chondrocyte vital ity rate of perfusion group (86.93% ± 1.52%) was higher than that of immersion group (77.73% ± 1.66%), showing significant difference (P lt; 0.01). Toluidine blue staining showed that the chondrocyte heterochromaty was ber in perfusion group than that in immersion group. Conclusion Compared with immersion method, perfusion method is a better way to construct acellular larynx scaffold because it can achieve better acellular effect and retain chondrocyte vital ity at the greatest extent in the acellular larynx scaffold.
