ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To summarize the clinical repairment experience of postoperative skin defects in head and neck cutaneous tumor.@*METHOD@#From July 2002 to September 2006, 24 patients with head and neck cutaneous tumor were treated in our department. Every specimen and resection margin of all cases were monitored by intraoperative frozen section. Extents of operative skin defects were from 1.0 cm x 1.5 cm to 3.0 cm x 3.5 cm, all of which were repaired by rhomboid flap.@*RESULT@#All the cases were primarily repaired, and followed up 6 month to 3 years. The repaired skins had the normal colour, without obviously scars or secondary deformations.@*CONCLUSION@#The rhomboid flap is reasonably designed, conveniently procured and manipulated. It is a better method to immediately repair the head and neck skin defects after radical excision of tumor.

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of malleostapedotomy based on malleus-oval window technique in otosclerosis with malleus/incus mobility disorder.@*METHOD@#Six cases with malleostapedotomy on stapes footplate fixation accompanied by malleus/incus movements disorder from March 2005 to March 2007 were analyzed retrospectively, when totally 78 cases of conventional stapes surgeries were performed on isolated otosclerosis . The surgical procedures, intraoperative findings and postoperative vertigo as well as pure tone gain were discussed.@*RESULT@#All of the 6 cases showed stapes footplate fixation. Both abnormal incudomalleolar joint and incudostapedial joint were found in 2 cases. It was suspected that previous inflammation resulted in yellowish mucosa, ossicular malformation and stiffness. The third one showed local tympanosclerosis in the attic. In another 2 cases, idiopathic malleus head fixation related to the anterior and superior mallear ligament abnormal were presented while a surgical incudomalleolar joint dislocation prior to the observation happened in the last one. Among these 6 cases, there was no 4.0 Hz notch and postoperative vertigo which needs a further care. Postoperative air-bone gap on 0.5 kHz, 1.0 kHz, 2.0 kHz, 4.0 kHz averaged less than 10 dB. All the patients had been followed up for 3 months.@*CONCLUSION@#Malleostapedotomy based on malleus-oval window technique is a safe and effective procedure available for otosclerosis with malleus/incus movement disorder from different origins.

Objective:Detecting nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients′olfactory before and after radiotherapy for investigating the infection of radiotherapy on these patients′olfactory.Method:100 NPC patients′olfactory were detected before the start of radiotherapy and after the termination of therapy in 3,6,12,24 and 36 months.Result:Patients′smell acuity decreased sharply 3 months after therapy,but varying degrees of recovery were noted in 6 and 12 months. However their smell acuity became worse in the following time.Conclusion:NPC patients′smell acuity can be profoundly affected by radiotherapy.And after radiotherapy, their smell acuity will decrease wave-likely and cannot fully recover.
