The studies of rapid maxillary expansion in obstructive sleep apnea children's treatment are based on low-quality evidence.

Management decisions should be linked to the phenotype, considering outcomes beyond the apnea-hypopnea index.

A health policy is needed focusing on respiratory disorders prevention.

For the first time, a rat rhinosinusitis model was established using LPS and Merocel sponge.

LPS can induce nasal inflammation through TLR4 signaling pathway.

LPS can reduce AQP5, occludin protein expression.

sPD-L1 is potential predictive biomarker for differentiation of malignant lesions in head and neck region.

Significantly higher levels of sPD-L1 are detected in malignant tumors.

Higher levels of sPD-L1 proves reliable prognostic biomarker in predicting early recurrence of laryngeal cancer.

Increased sPD-L1 correlates with poor disease-free survival in head and neck cancer.

Tinnitus is a common disorder that affects hearing and social interactions.

Patients with tinnitus have reported hearing difficulties in noisy environments.

Tinnitus negatively impacts sound source localization in those with normal hearing.

It might also affect the processing of brain cues for sound source discrimination.

We have investigated the fibrosis genes in the TGF-β pathway in the early and mature nasal polyps development process, respectively.

PAI-1 is involved in early nasal polyps, and its low fibrolysis is predisposed to nasal polyps’ development.

PAI-1 is affected by the TGF pathway, and low PAI-1 expression is one of the main reasons for tissue remodeling in nasal polyps.

The associated oral manifestations in HIV patients remain present even in the HAART era.

Periodontal disease with or without mobility were the predominant oral lesions in the patients of this study.

No relationship was found between oral lesions, TCD4+ and TCD8+ cell count, TCD4:TCD8 ratio, or viral load.

There is a protective effect of duration of treatment with relation to periodontal disease with mobility.

The change in brain gray matter volume in NPC patients after radiotherapy in long-term follow-up were studied.

NPC patients with the radiation-induced hearing loss had abnormal brain gray matter volume in the auditory center and other sensory centers.

Our findings might provide new understanding into the pathogenesis of radiation-induced brain damage in normal-appearing brain tissue.

Persistent granulation could not disappear after conservative treatment.

Reoperation was not recommended.

Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) injection in vocal fold is mature.

TA could accelerate the disappear of granulation or persistent granulation.

Suitable for huge granulation which blocks the glottis and the recur.

The total number of diagnostic exams and surgical procedures had decreased significantly.

Surgery for head and neck cancer treatment increased in the total surgical logbook.

Most residents faced reduction in surgical logbook and deployment to COVID-19 facilities.

Develop a treatment algorithm for pediatric orbital blowout fractures.

Findings to consider urgent release for linear type of pediatric orbital blowout fractures: missing rectus and OCR.

Present the results using the Hess area ratio, an objective measure of treatment outcome.

Simple algorithm easily used even for physicians who do not specialize in orbital care.

Algorithm producing successful treatment outcomes.
