Endoscopic maxillary sinus drainage combined with buccal fat pad flaps for repairing large oroantral fistulas in patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.

Background: Oroantral fistula (OAF) is a pathological channel formed between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus. A large size of OAF (≥5 mm) increases the risk of surgical failure, and an optimal surgical approach should be cautiously selected.

Objective: This study aims to characterize the application of nasal endoscopy and buccal fat pad (BFP) flaps to repair large OAFs in patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS).

Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing Function in Patients With Tumors Involving Both the Oral and Base of the Tongue.

To investigate the clinical application of fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and recovery of swallowing function in patients with lesions involving both the oral and base of the tongue (OBOT). Patients diagnosed with OBOT lesions underwent assessments preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month, and 1 year postoperatively. The swallowing function evaluation included the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), University of Washington Quality-of-Life Questionnaire, Performance Status Scale for Head and Neck Cancer, water swallow test, tongue motion measurement, and FEES (a simple dysphagia score, and penetration-aspiration scale).

Heat-killed Prevotella intermedia promotes the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma by inhibiting the expression of tumor suppressors and affecting the tumor microenvironment.

Background: Oral microbial dysbiosis contributes to the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Our previous study showed that Prevotella intermedia (P. intermedia) were enriched in the oral mucosal surface, plaque, and saliva of patients with OSCC.

Oral Bacteriome and Mycobiome across Stages of Oral Carcinogenesis.

Oral microbial dysbiosis contributes to the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Numerous studies have focused on variations in the oral bacterial microbiota of patients with OSCC. However, similar studies on fungal microbiota, another integral component of the oral microbiota, are scarce.

Active Smoking Induces Aberrations in Digestive Tract Microbiota of Rats.

Cigarette smoking could have certain effects on gut microbiota. Some pioneering studies have investigated effects of active smoking on the microbiome in local segments of the digestive tract, while active smoking-induced microbiome alterations in the whole digestive tract have not been fully investigated. Here, we developed a rat model of active smoking and characterized the effects of active smoking on the microbiota within multiple regions along the digestive tract.

A comparative study of olanzapine, aripiprazole and risperidone in the treatment of psychiatric and behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of olanzapine, aripiprazole, and risperidone in the treatment of mental and behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 126 patients with Alzheimer's Disease from February 2018 to February 2020. The patients were divided into group A (aripiprazole, n=44), group B (olanzapine, n=42) and group C (risperidone, n=40) based on the treatment method.

Tube Feeding with a Diabetes-Specific Enteral Formula Improves Glycemic Control in Severe Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients.

Background: Glycemic control is essential for managing acute stroke. This study evaluated the impact of a diabetes-specific formula (DSF) on glycemic control in severe acute ischemic stroke patients.

Methods: A randomized, prospective controlled trial was conducted in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital.

[Pingyangmycin injection under suspension laryngoscopy for giant hemangioma at hypopharynx and laryngeal in 12 cases hemangioma at hypopharynx and laryngeal in 12 cases].

Objective: To explore the therapeutic methods and effect of pingyangmycin injection in huge hemangioma at Hypopharynx and laryngeal under suspension laryngoscopy.

Method: To ananysize the medical records of 12 Patients with giant hemangioma at hypopharynx and laryngeal. Patients were underwent polysomnography before operation.

[The effect of one-stage repair of secondary nasolabial deformity and nasal septoplasty on nasal airway resistance].

Objective: To assess the effect of one-stage repair of secondary nasolabial deformity and nasal septoplasty for cleft patients on nasal airway resistance (NAR).

Method: Using active anterior rhinomanometry, NAR was measured in eighteen patients with cleft lip and palate who suffered form one-stage repair of secondary nasolabial deformity and septoplasty at per-and-post operation.

Result: NAR was (0.

[Preliminary investigation of low-temperature radiofrequency ablation on treatment of tongue base cyst].

Objective: To explore the feasibility of low-temperature radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of tongue base cyst.

Method: Low-temperature radiofrequency ablation was used to treat 14 patients with the cyst of tongue base under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Operation time, the volume of blood loss and postoperative complications were recorded and the follow-up was taken after surgery.
